The fall

Chapter 13

Penelope

AHHHHHHHHHHH—someone kill me, throw me in a ditch, I don't care! I did not just have sex with my boyfriend of three years, I didn't—but I totally did. I totally just did had sex with my boyfriend last night. This is a disaster, a disaster! But this is a good thing, right? Right?!
I didn't even know what I was doing, It felt so natural letting go. He was kissing me and I was kissing him on the couch then he just scooped me up to my bedroom!

What's worse is that he's making me pancakes, half naked with only sweatpants—so he's shirtless in my kitchen, acting like nothing happened. Am I the only one freaking out? I feel like I shouldn't be panicking, yet I am cause he's so calm! Do all guys act like this after sex?

"Do you want syrup or chocolate on your pancakes?"
My head snaps up at the sound of his voice and I shake away the thoughts immediately before clearing my throat.

"I can have chocolate."
He nods immediately in confirmation and I stand up from the dining table, walking towards the fridge, grabbing some bananas and strawberries before I stand beside him as I now start cutting the fruit. The silence is killing me, but what's more killing me are my fucking legs.

He glances at me sideways slightly as he places the pancakes on two plates, putting chocolate on top of them before I put the fruits onto the side. He takes our plates and walks towards the dining table, pulling out a chair for each of us before we sit down. Don't talk about last night, don't talk about last night.

He chuckles with a slight grin as I start eating my pancakes.
"So, how are your legs?" He starts.
I almost choke, before I swallow my pancakes with a slight cough. This is the first time I've been provoked to hit a man.
"You obviously didn't want to start the conversation, so I figured I'd do it for you."

My eye twitches at my trigger, of course he's about to tease me about this shit. He knows how sensitive this would be, that son of a bitch. I turn my head towards him with a sarcastic smile.
"Don't think It will happen again, It was a mere moment where our feelings took over." That was an obvious lie.

He shakes his head with a faint laughter before leaning his head closer, my breath hitches thinking he'd kiss me but he just reaches his hand to wipe some chocolate off my lips then licking the sweet off his thumb as he never breaks eye contact.
"Feelings took over? Darling, you were practically begging for more last night."

My eyes widen in shock before I clench my fists so my knuckles turn white as my cheeks flush in embarrassment, I seriously an about too punch this man cause, the fucking audacity of this guy.
