Sparks Fly [Completed]

8. Secrets in the dark

I was still pretty angry getting to the entrance of the haunted house. It was frustrating how people talked about Andrew. I married him for got sake that didn't give them any right to put him down like that. But maybe it was my fault. I should just stop telling them about him. Although, they already knew he had a temper. I did too and still I married him! So they should just stop shouldn't they?
I sighed and smiled at the old principal who managed the entrance to the haunted house. "Don't get lost Emily" He said with some spooky voice. "I will try not too" I grinned and walked in. 
The sound of the music moved to the background as soon as the door closed behind me. I was in a hallway leading to the cafeteria. 
The walls were covered in spiderwebs and ragged cloths. Noises from creepy laughs and screams now overpowered the music in the gym. 
"Hey!" 
A hand on my shoulder made me jump. 
"Seth! When are you going to stop just showing up like this! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
Seth chuckled. "I thought you liked being scared to death"
"Well not to an actual death" I told him taking deep breath's to calm myself down.  
He just chuckled while he looked me up and down. "Drew told me your outfit was to much but I have to say" He looked me in the eyes and gave me a wickedly flirty smile. "I think you look perfect" 
He himself wasn't wearing much of a costume. He wore black jeans and a white shirt halfway buttoned showing his muscular and broad chest. His face was halfway covered in a white mask. He was the phantom of the opera... It suited him. 
I hoped it wouldn't be to horrible to have to admit he most definitely looked sexy. 

"You wanna join me?" He asked reaching out his arm like a gentleman. "I think a ghost and a princess could help each other out of making it alive through the maze of horror" 
I raised my left eyebrow looking at him. "Have you been drinking?" I asked him making him Chuckle. "I saw you sipping wine my lady so don't go all judgy on me!" He tapped my arm with his and while I rolled my eyes I took it. It couldn't do any harm... right? 

"Did you help with decorations this year?" Seth asked while we slowly made our way down the hall. It wasn't really scary but I knew every moment we could be jumped by one of the high school students dressed as a zombie or something. 
"Yeah, me and Taylor gave them some pointers. They came to the shop" I told him. Seeing some of the decorations we suggested always brought a smile to my face. 
Indeed not a second later two girls dressed exactly the same in these old fashion dresses covered in blood jumped from behind the lockers. I couldn't help but let out a scream, I felt Seth jump too this made me giggle. 
"I never knew you were such a scaredy cat" I grinned when the girls disappeared again. 
"I am not!" He disagreed. 
"Are too!" I told him with a grin and looking to him. 
He shook his head  rolling his eyes. Soon enough a sigh followed and instead of turning the corner toward the cafeteria he pulled me into a dark corner. 

"Emily" He said serious taking of his mask. I could hardly see his face because there was no light in this corner. 
"What?" I asked feeling my heart starting to beat faster. I could smell the alcohol in his breath. It kind of scared me. That smell usually didn't mean good things when it was Andrew. 
"Are you happy?" He asked still perfectly serious. 
"Seth... don't do this... I" I started trying to push him away to get away. His eyes... even in the dark I could see this intense look of him again. He grabbed my arms right at the bruises Andrew had caused. 
I flinched and his grip loosened right away. A frown crossed his face. "What's wrong?" 
shaking my face I looked away from him. My heart pounded so loud and fast I was scared he could hear it. 
"Em, please just answer my question. Is he good to you. Does he treat you well. I just want to know" He was begging by now in a low whisper and for some reason I couldn't tell him everything was fine. 
I was looking at the ground until his hand gently touched my face. I looked up to meet his eyes. 

"You are so beautiful Em." His voice was even softer then a whisper now but I could hear him loud and clear. I did nothing to stop him from playing with my hair or getting closer.  I could feel his warm breath on my face and see the little twinkle in his blue eyes. 
"He is a dumb-ass for not seeing that." 
Slow, incredibly slow he bend towards me. It was like he gave me time to refuse or push him off me. The thing was, I didn't. I did nothing when he slowly kissed the right corner of my lips. He was so gentle and careful like he was scared I would break. 
Again I did nothing to stop him. I even tilted my head a little towards him closing my eyes waiting for his next kiss. That kiss followed soon enough. He placed one of his hands gently in my neck pulling me closer to him while his other hand rested on my lower back. 
My mind seemed to be completely blank as the kiss intensified I could taste the alcohol in his kiss. He pushed me gently into the corner. I had no idea if people could see us and really... I couldn't care less. Seth's hand found mine intertwining his fingers with mine and moving it upwards against the wall. When he started kissing my cheek and neck I gasped for air. I was out of breath and couldn't think straight. 
"Seth" I breathed in a whisper. My mind was playing tricks on me. What was I doing. I was kissing a man and he was not my husband. And at the same time I didn't want him to stop. His way of kissing me, touching me. It was a whole different story then how Andrew did it and it felt good. So good. 

He found my lips again and I knew if I didn't stop now I would do things I would regret. He turned me on and not just a little bit. Without realizing my hand had found its way to his neck pulling me closer. Now I put my hand on his chest and pushed him away. 
"Seth, don't, this is wrong" I whispered hoarsely. I wanted him to continue so bad. It was so nice, so good to be kissed without somebody playing games or handling rough. He was gentle, careful. Nothing like Andrew. 
Andrew... she was married to Andrew and that was exactly why she couldn't do this!
Seth was breathing heavy too and slowly let go of my hand. "I... I am so sorry Em... I just. I just couldn't... shit" He shook his head and covered his face with his hands. "Shit" He repeated again moving his hands through his hair. And just like that he turned and walked away from me.
