In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

The kiss

"Hey guys." I smiled staring at the TV and lowering the volume quickly as the door clicked open. "Did you get kicked out--" I stopped my mocking sentence when I realised it was Richard and now one else and he was smiling down at me from the front door.

"Hey Ace." He laughed looking at me without make up on a blanket over me and laying down on the sofa with my feet up. I was right in the corner too as it was one of those L-shaped corner sofas and I was really cosy.

I must of looked mess because he was staring at me really weirdly.

"How many times is me lecturing you, going to stop this nickname?" I frowned trying to sit up.

"Oh sorry. I forgot." He laughed. I could tell he was drunk, he did look a little funny. But I'd been drinking so I felt a bit weird too, though the coffee helped. "What you watching?" He asked sitting on top of my feet.

"Some dumb rom-com." I mocked.

"Oh they're the worst." He laughed.

"Yep." I smiled as he glanced me quickly. "So why you home early?" I asked.

"Got bored. Everyone's drunk and having fun and I'm--"

"Drunk and not having fun?" I asked.

"Coleman. I'm not drunk, am I?" He frowned.

"No of course not." I babied him.

"It's really cold in here. Why didn't you draw the curtains?" He moaned pulling at my thick blanket and getting under it. Now he was really close to me and he was basically on top of me.

Though it was a funny thing because I moaned at him for being on me and so close to me and he moaned that I was moaning in the middle of the film.

We actually ended up watching the whole film it was cool. We were hanging out as friends for once. I mean, drunk friends, but still.

"Hey that was good pick ace." He tapped my legs.

"I didn't pick it, it was on the tv." I laughed at him as he started drunkenly laughing too.

"I'm tired." he said starting to lay down next to me and I just laughed at him until he ended up really close to me. I started to sit up to move him away and I sat up right but with my legs stills crunched up on the sofa. He sat back and looked me.

"Something wrong?" He laughed.

"Just too close for comfort really. We have a history..." I laughed back.

"We do..." He leant forward and placed a hand on the sofa behind me and them steadied himself as he pressed his lips to mine. Straight away I freaked out but then I started to get into it.

The familiar taste and it just felt so... Right. I completely forgot everything with the taste of alcohol still lurking it just reminded me how much I'd drunk. I continued to kiss him and I sunk back in the sofa and I ended up in a laying down position on the couch.

He was towering over me not come up for air once. We breathed through our noses as he pushed deeper and deeper into the kiss and I kissed back allowing tongues into the mix and he pulled the blanket up over us.

We must of been doing it for about 10 minutes. Just making out. His hands were on my waist and mine were on his chest. The funny thing is was how oblivious we were being.

I broke the kiss by laughing and looking up at him almost in amazement. Even though I was laughing his lips were still touching mine, they never move more that an inch away. But there I was looking up at Richard after making out with him and laughing.

"What's so funny?" I heard a deep voice suddenly I jumped out of my skin. I looked to my right and saw Matt stood with Molly and Lily and Olivia and Tom and Marty all watching and behind I saw Lucy come down the stairs.

"Fuck." I spat laying my head back and moaning as Richard climbed off me.

"What the hell are you doing on top of my girlfriend?" Matt lashed out and before we knew it he had smashed him around the face with his fist and Richard fell on me clutching his cheek.

He grunted before getting off me and retaliating. Richard was stronger but Matt was drunk and felt strong when he'd had a drink. Richard hit him back harder but Matt knew it was coming and kind of blocked it.

I sat up straight away and then got up on two feet trying to stop it. They were physically hurting each other and tackling each other and Molly and I started  pulling them away but Matt went to slap Richard in some way and caught my cheek instead.

To which I screamed at them to stop. They listened, feeling guilty as I clutched my cheek. Tom came over to me and checked it out as it was bright red and starting to bruise and there was cut along the cheek bone.

As Tom took me into the kitchen to dab at the cut, Marty came with and helped. I heard Molly shouting at the guys.

"Alright, idiots. I think it's best if one of you sleep down here tonight, the other can crash with Tom." Molly shouted at them.

"He slept with my girlfriend!" Matt got all angry again but it was only because he'd been drinking.

"I didn't sleep with her!" Richard yelled back at him.

"Fucks sake you two. We'll talk about it tomorrow. Just go to bed and leave us girls alone alright?" Molly shouted at them. They both walked off in a huff and Olivia and Marty went to bed as well as Lucy.

Tom was in the kitchen with me and Molly walked in. "Molly-- I want to explain." I said suddenly moving away as Tom was wiping the blood from my cheek.

"There's no need. Richard was drunk he made a move on you." Molly shrugged. "Then you liked it and kissed back. I'm not blaming Richard." She smirked walking upstairs alone.

I turned back to Tom and sighed. "She's blaming me isn't she?" I sighed.

"I think so." He smiled compassionately.

"I'm sorry about this. I should of stayed out of the way." I laughed.

"It's alright. Glad to help. And whatever your story is, and what you'll say tomorrow, I'll Believe you." Tom said. "You're not a bad person."

"Thanks Tom." I smiled. "Goodnight." I said stepping up the stairs.

"G'night." He smiled back before walking off to his room.
