Tied By Invisible Strings

Chapter two

Belladonna

I was so lost in thought that I ended up kissing Daniel anyway, I fight myself in my mind way to much. I could feel him get more hungrier for the kiss as if he lost control in himself. His arms wrapped around my waist pulling me onto his lap. I move one of my hands to his hair ruffling and tugging slightly earning a low groan from Daniel causing my clit to pulsate. I could feel his erection poking between my legs.

We pull away from the kiss not because we want to but because we needed to catch our breaths. I got up off his lap coming back into reality. "We shouldn't be doing this Daniel" I spoke quietly. I overthink every little problem and I know if Lyra were here she would tell me to grab life by the balls or more so grab Daniel by the balls and make him my bitch but I'm not confident for any of that.

"cherry?" I heard Daniels voice taking me away from my thoughts once again. "You need to stop overthinking everything sweetheart it's not good  for you" His voice was soft and his brows furrowed gently showing he was quite worried. "Don't mind me Daniel" I shove his words away again I'm terrible for letting people in especially if it's a man.

"I'm going for a shower" I get up off the bed about to walk before I feel a tug on my arm. "don't push me away you barely know me and it's like you've already decided I'm a horrible person" His voice sounded so sad like I had just pulled on bis heart string. "I don't let anyone in Daniel it took me 4 Years to let my best friend in and even then she still doesn't know a lot about me" I spoke up sighing knowing he wouldn't drop it he's a pushy person I'll give him that.

"okay" Was all he said before letting me go. Why do I feel bad I haven't given him false hope or fucked with his feelings and yet I feel like I've left him before even getting with him. I brush off the thoughts as I enter the shower the scolding water burning my back. I have to many issues and I would never want to become burden to anyone. Daniel owes me nothing for the way I am and with that I'll protect him from the sort of person I am it's the easiest and safest option.

A couple more hours went by we spent breakfast at the table in complete silence. It dawned on me that Daniel hasn't once ignored me when I'm with him but just now all I get is the cold shoulder like I really have done something wrong when all I did was go for a shower. I allow the thoughts to go on for a while before Daniel's voice takes me away from them. "Meeting in an hour get ready I decided to change it up this will be the last one so make sure you pay attention to everything" he spoke from the bathroom loud and clear enough for me to understand what he said.

My shoulders slouched at the thought of the meeting. I let out an exasperated sigh before shuffling my feet on the carpet to the bedroom where I grabbed another outfit. I looked in the mirror as I tucked in my white shirt under my skirt beofre pulling it down making I wasn't revealing to much.

Though the skirt felt rather short compared to my others which makes me question if it's even mine. I look at the tag and realise it isn't. I scanned my bag for another skirt but I'm starting to think Lyra tried to turn me into a little slut for one day she must've taken the rest of my work clothes out my bag and that would also explain why the underwear and bras looked a bit different from my normal ones. I chuckle to myself before standing back up wiping my knees down incase something from the floor had gotten on them.

"You make a point of not wanting to get with me yet you're bending over just now and I can pretty much nearly see everything." Daniel's voice filled the room as I snapped my head around to look at him. I cleared my throat and pulled my skirt down once again having not noticed it had risen up.

"I didn't do it on purpose this isn't my skirt it's my roommates and she thinks I should sleep with you and because of that she's changed everything that I had in my bag to something different" I rambled on a fair amount before hearing a slight chuckle.

"Love I was fucking with you come on let's go or we will be late" he spoke softly before turning his back to me. I hummed in response as I followed him to the door of our room exiting it. We walked next to each other this time well sort of I mean he's got long legs his strides are bigger but I wasn't hanging back from him.

We got to the lift of course he let me enter first, he pressed the buttons and I just lay my head back on the mirrored glass my finger tapping the railings surrounding the lift as it made its way down to the ground floor. It felt like forever before the lift came to a halt and as I was about to exit it I had realised the doors didn't open.

I looked up at Daniel with a confused look as he started pressing other buttons yet nothing happened. "So we are stuck in a lift that's just great" I huff out as I sat down on the lift floor my back still pressed up against the mirror.

"I'm sure it wont take long for the help to sort us out" he spoke dropping to the floor slowly next to me. Even the thought of him being close to me sends shivers down my spine and butterflies to twirl in my stomach, and he is close not even an arms length away from me. I can feel my breathing get heavier my eyes burry.

Not only that but we are in a small confined space I don't do confined spaces they make me panic and I feel like I can't breathe. I twiddle my thumbs my anxiety on the verge of causing a panic attack. I stand up attempting to pry open the doors, my eyes shift left to right back and fourth. The walls are shrinking no they're definitely shrinking. Tears start to swell in my eyes my body is shaking I crouch back down my head between my knees. My body rocking in attempt to calm down.

"Cherry everything is okay calm down" He spoke quietly clearly not wanting to make me panic anymore than I already am that is.
