Gibsie

My shirt felt as if it clung to my body even though I wasn't sweating. For the past half hour I busied myself with escaping Claire's advances. Her hand once again found itself nestled in my chest as I frantically looked around for an escape route. She was running her other hand through my hair, or attempting to anyways, as I jerked my head backwards. "I'm going for a drink" I announced after the whole touchy thing became too much for my own comfort and just left.

I tried to get to the kitchen without colliding with people around me, but it was an increasing difficulty since this place was filled to the hilt. That was until something collided with me. My hands instantly went to the girl's waist to keep her from falling and perfectly manicured hands wrapped around my arms. "Steady there, you okay?" I checked up on the girl. Her head was dipped so I could only see her dark waves cascading around her but as soon as I caught a whiff of the perfume that lingered in the air I knew who it was.

"Oh my god Gerard thank God I found you" Haven shrieked as she noticed who I was. Then she hugged me and caused my brain to short wire. I liked how she felt wrapping her hands around my torso looking so small and dainty compared to me. So I hugged her back.

Then she moves away and I miss the warmth in my chest. She turns around and a weird guy gives her an unsettling smile and I could picture the thoughts running through his mind; none of them good. The way he looked at her, almost predatory, made something switch inside me the same way something switched when she was getting targeted by Paul and George. Almost as if an internal instinct told me to keep her safe and sound, tucked away where only light could hit her body. "Please hide me" She told me frantically while I was still imagining ways to commit first degree murder.

I acted on instinct, immediately taking her hand in mine and dragging her away from whoever was harassing her. I couldn't find a single spot in the whole entire house to stay until the moment passed. Every bathroom was filled with couples making out and the rooms were being used for different activities. I dragged her into a hallway in which I luckily found an alcove and proceeded to place her there with her back against the wall and me covering her.

After the initial shock leaves her face I take a moment to scan her completely not entirely realizing my hand was still wrapped around hers. "Thank you so much" she breathed out leaning totally against the wall.

"No problem but what was that all about?" I pry and I couldn't help but be affected by her closeness, the way her voice sounded breathless and the rosy hue on her cheeks. Her eyes drift from my face to my chest and then back up. "Well it turns out Neal isn't as nice as you said he was when you set us up. He went around telling his friends we were dating"

My brows knitted together "That fucker said what?" I said through gritted teeth "I swear he's a dead man"

"I told them we weren't dating and their friends took it as an invitation to be weird." She paused and made a shiver run down my spine by the way she looked at me "After that I ran away and found you"
"I'm glad you did" I muttered, my voice coming out hoarse and suddenly the neck of my shirt felt too tight.

"Guess I'm done with Neal for good this time" she murmurs but her eyes were locked to my lips and my eyes were looking at hers.

"Yeah, good riddance to him I guess" I choke out, catching myself leaning forward. Her eyes looked glossy and uncharacteristically bright, accompanied by dilated pupils that I'm sure matched mine. The blue on them was darker, almost ocean like, and I prayed the thoughts running through my head matched mine.

"I'm glad I didn't waste my first kiss on him" She mused out while she looked into my soul. Self restraint was slipping away.

It's Kav's sister. Rules Gibson, rules. He'll kill you. You're a dead fucking man.

Still looking down at her, I study her every feature as if it's the first time I'm seeing her. "Good...that's good" I manage to say whilst my voice drops lower and huskier. We stayed quiet for a moment, so quiet even the music thumping through the walls quieted out. Her lips were parted and her eyes lidded but wide. I took a step closer and it was getting increasingly harder to keep myself from just pressing my lips to hers.

Just once, to know what it's like.

Don't do it Gibs. Johnny will kill you. You promised him anyone but his baby sister.

"Gibs" She murmured.

"Yeah Haven?" I replied lowly, my voice a deep gravelly murmur. I was so close I felt her body heat radiating off her. I could easily notice every dip of her collarbone I'd learned to love so much, every freckle adorning her face, each freckle on her neck I'd die to kiss.

Don't lay a finger on her asshole, don't do it

"Please don't look at me like that" Her voice was barely above a whisper and I was almost certain my desires matched hers. Her eyes were big and innocent and she killed me when they flicked to my lips. My chest rises and falls at lightning speed and everything seems in slow motion. "Like what" I breath out

"Like you want to kiss me" She murmured with a quiet voice; and sweet Jesus she couldn't be more right. I shouldn't want this. I shouldn't do it. Electricity shoots down my spine and I can't deny this anymore. I do want to kiss her, God I want to do it. "What if I do?" I whisper, my voice rough with need and my body itching with anticipation.

My heart is thundering in my chest and her own is rising and falling visibly. "I don't know if I would be able to say no" She tells me.

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.

Control is slipping and I don't control my actions. I gently reach out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and her eyes follow my hand. "And if I don't want you to say no?" My hand linger on her cheek.

"Then I won't" She muses looking at my face.

Gibs, stop it, get your hormones in check. Remember who she is, remember what you promised

But I couldn't.

I couldn't think of anything that wasn't her in front of me, telling me she wanted the same thing I've wanted since we were kids. My hand slips to her waist and I push her gently against the wall, trapping her with my body. I have to do it, just once, just to know what it feels like.

My body feels on fire, my brain isn't functioning. I just know I want one thing and that thing is right in front of me, with soft lips begging to be tasted for the first time.

Fuck it, rules are out the fucking window. I need her right now, and maybe I need her just as much as she needs me.

"Good" I whisper, my voice coming out as a rumble from my chest. And then I do it.

Johnny doesn't have to know right?
