My Forbidden Fruit

Chaptee 17- Shocking Moment

I stepped out of the room, looking for a moment of fresh air. But what I saw took my breath away. Alandro was standing in the hallway, tears streaming down his face.

My heart went out to him, and I rushed to his side. "Alandro, what's wrong?" I asked, concern etched on my face.

He looked up at me, his eyes red and puffy. And then, in a moment that shocked me to my core, he kissed me.

I froze, unsure of how to react. Alandro's lips were soft and gentle, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt that washed over me.

I pushed him away, trying to process what had just happened. "Alandro, I...I don't know what to say," I stuttered.

He looked at me, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and longing. "I've loved you for so long, Jess," he whispered. "I couldn't help myself."

I felt like I was torn between two worlds. My heart belonged to Leo, but a part of me still cared for Alandro. I didn't know what to do, or how to navigate this complicated web of emotions.

I stood there, frozen in shock, as Alandro's words hung in the air. I didn't know what to say, or how to react.

"Alandro, I..." I started, but he cut me off.

"Don't say anything, Jess. I know I've ruined everything. I just needed you to know how I feel."

I felt a pang of guilt and sadness. I didn't want to hurt Alandro, but my heart belonged to Leo.

"Please, Alandro. Let's talk about this later," I said, trying to calm him down.

But he just shook his head and walked away, leaving me standing there, feeling torn apart.

I didn't know what to do. Part of me wanted to run after Alandro, to comfort him and ease his pain. But another part of me knew that I couldn't. My heart belonged to Leo, and I couldn't betray him like that.

I took a deep breath and went back inside, trying to shake off the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach. But I knew that this was far from over.

I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered inside me. Alandro's kiss and confession had left me reeling.

Despite my better judgment, I found myself following him, my feet moving of their own accord. I needed to know why he had kissed me, why he had confessed his feelings.

I followed him to the old oak tree, the same place where we had shared so many secrets. He was standing there, his back to me, his shoulders slumped in defeat.

I approached him quietly, not wanting to startle him. But he sensed my presence and turned around.

"Jess," he whispered, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and longing.

I didn't say anything, just looked at him, my heart pounding in my chest.

And then, without thinking, I reached out and touched his face. He closed his eyes, his lips parting slightly.

I leaned in, my heart racing, and kissed him.

It was a forbidden moment, a moment that could ruin everything. But I couldn't help myself, couldn't resist the pull of his lips.

We made out, our lips moving in sync, our hearts beating as one.

I knew it was wrong, knew I was betraying Leo. But in that moment, I didn't care. All I wanted was Alandro, his touch, his kiss.

As we broke apart for air, I knew that I had crossed a line. There was no going back now.

As I check the message that just showed up on his phone and saw him flirting with girls and I chose to discuss it at dinner.

I was sitting at the diner with Alandro, trying to calm him down. We were in the middle of a heated argument.

"You're always flirting with other girls, Alandro," I said, my voice firm. "It's like you can't help yourself."

Alandro shrugged, his eyes flashing with defiance. "I'm just being friendly, Jess. You're always so possessive."

But I knew the truth. I had seen the way he looked at other girls, the way he laughed at their jokes, the way he touched their arms.

Just then, Leo walked into the diner, a concerned look on his face. "Hey, what's going on?" he asked, sensing the tension.

Alandro sneered at him. "Mind your own business, Leo."

But Leo stood his ground. "I'm making it my business. Jess, what's going on?"

I took a deep breath and let it all spill out. "Alandro's been flirting with other girls, and I'm sick of it."

Alandro's face turned red with anger, and he slammed his fist on the table. "You're just jealous, Jess. You can't handle the fact that I'm attractive to other girls."

The argument escalated, with Alandro's voice growing louder and more venomous.

"You're always so quick to assume the worst, Jess," he spat. "You never trust me."

I stood my ground, my voice firm. "That's because you're always flirting with other girls, Alandro. You're always making me feel like I'm not enough."

Alandro's face twisted in anger, and he slammed his fist on the table again. "How can you say that, Jess? After what we shared today?"

I felt a surge of fear, knowing where this was going.

Alandro's voice rose to a shout. "We kissed today, Jess! And here you are, acting like you don't trust me at all!"

The diner fell silent, all eyes on us. I felt like I was going to throw up.

Leo's eyes locked onto mine, a look of pain and betrayal etched on his face. "Jess, is this true?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

I couldn't speak, couldn't deny it. I just stood there, frozen in shame.

Leo's face crumpled, and he turned and walked away, leaving me standing there with Alandro, who was still shouting at me.

"You're going to regret this, Jess! You're going to regret not trusting me!"

Although Alandro was shouting my mind was on Leo and how he felt no words could console him

I and just ruined things between us
