There's Always Trouble In Paradise

Familiar Love

Kevins warmth took over my body. Our lips were locked. He took my breath away. Until reality kicked in, and I finally realized what I was doing, and who I was doing it with. I pushed Kevin off of me as fast as I could, taking in a deep breath of air.

"Stop, this is not right! Oh I am so ashamed! What will Daniel think of me!?"

Kevins face might have well be just as red as mine. Every freckle looked beautiful. His fire red hair fell perfectly around his face, making his enchanting green eyes draw me in even closer.

I was in trouble.

Kevin rubbed the back of his neck and let out a sigh. "Yeah. You're right, I'm sorry Edd."

I crossed my arms tightly, as if hugging myself to comfort away this guilt. I started pacing back and forth. What do I do? What should I do? I need to tell Daniel right away! But he's with his family, and it would mean much more to talk about it in person, right? Should I leave? Should I talk this out with Kevin? I should probably tell him I never want to talk to him again.

No.

Kevin has this over me now. He knows I cheated on Daniel. He knows this kiss could ruin everything. He has this as blackmail.

I glared at Kevin as my anger began to stir up. "Bastard."

"Excuse me?" Kevin seemed shock to hearing me swear, as I use to be disappointed whenever he swore around me.

"This was suppose to be an easy visit for my parents to meet my fiancé! And you... YOU had to come in with being all perfect and making me have feelings again! Then you had to kiss me!?"

Kevin rolled his eyes and let out a sigh, starting to walk away from me.

"Where on earth do you think you are going?! Come back here!"

"I gotta go do something. Follow and yell if you want."

"You're impossible."

"So I've been told, babe."

I huffed at that last comment. I did as Kevin said though, I followed him and kept lecturing him on how he step over boundaries. Kevin did not really say much, he did however had a health amount of eye rolling, head shaking, and sighing.

"And furthermore! You are just going to have to get over the fact that I am now with Daniel and not you!"

"Yeah, yeah. You coming inside? Or are you done?"

I did not realized that I was lecturing Kevin during the whole walk to his house. There was his front door, and I felt my stomach twist. I have not been to his house since that last time I saw him before I left for college. It looked basically the same, just slightly more run down. Probably due to the fact Kevin was not here taking care of it every day.

"Dork, are you coming in or not?"

I snapped out of my train of thought and took a step towards the door. "Are we not a little too old for childish name calling?"

"Stop acting like a dork and I'll stop calling you one."

It was my turn this time to roll my eyes and sigh upon walking inside. Kevins house seemed darker than normal; it was always dark due to his father liking the dark for his drinking, but this felt darker and lonely. It reminded me a lot of the first time I ever came into Kevins house. After we dated for awhile, I did not notice how lonely and dark it was. Then again, Kevin always called me the light of his life, and we had each other, so there was no room to be lonely.

I peeked around into the living room after watching Kevin walk in. His father was in his usual chair, holding the usual empty bottle, this one being a bottle of jack. And as usual, the only light that filled the room was the dancing of colors from the tv.
