Love Is a Losing Game // Joel Pimentel

10 | XO

Chapter Ten

Blu's POV

I squeeze my palms tightly, his lips so soft and so far away that I wanted him to be closer, so much closer. His lips are soft and warm, stirring up feelings within me I didn't know were there. Yoandri French-kisses me sensually, not wanting to miss the taste of my tongue on his lips.

I want to pull back because, shit this game is hard, but also because my abdomen keeps on throbbing and I don't know whether I like it or not.

He leans back and opens his eyes that are filled with lust and I hear him look at me up and down. He groans when he sees my glossy eyes, pink nose, and swollen lips. His cheeks are flushed with blood, matching my own look and I hear him mumble.

"Fuck it."

Then his hot touch is touching my skin, my waist, my neck, my cheek. His hands pull me closer so our chests are touching and I wrap my fingers into his hair, not wanting my first kiss to end.

His lips travel to my jaw, my neck, and I can't think correctly because his hands are so soft and so warm, so delicate. He's everywhere.

Yoandri was drinking me up slowly, like syrup and I couldn't help but do the same.

"You lost," I breathe out as he kisses my neck.

"I know," he chuckles in my ear, making my heart beat faster. His hand meets mine and he lifts my arms above my head, intertwining our fingers together. He smiles at me, kissing my lips at the same time, making me smile just as much.

He stops kissing me after locking our lips together tightly. He takes deep breaths, his eyes still closed. Yoandri nudges my head with his, our noses touching and places my hand over his heart.

He opens his eyes and I melt at the sight of those big brown orbs. He bites his lip and looks down at mine, before looking into my eyes.

"You feel that?"

"Your hearts beating fast."

He smiles softly and nods, kissing my lips tenderly.

"It beats that way just for you."

Joel looks over to us as we leave the closet, hand in hand, Yoandri's eyes stuck on me. We walk to the circle who only chuckles and laughs at the two of us who still seemed in a daze. When we sit back down, I look over to Joel and get slightly scared of the look on his face. He seems distant, cold, maybe even hurt.

Yoandri kisses my cheek and I blush a bit, resting my head on his shoulder, wrapping my arm around his. Our fingers intertwine and I get an uneasy feeling in my stomach when our palms touch. He looks down at me and murmurs an, "Is this fine?" I'm about to answer but I'm pulled up to my feet by Joel who glares coldly at Yoandri.

Joel ignores my objections as he tugs on me and slides me into my jacket, slipping into his shortly after. I give Yoandri a wave goodbye before being pulled out of the room and into the masses of sweaty people on the other side of the door.

"Hey."

"What?" he snaps at me.

I wince at his tight grip on my wrist but he doesn't budge. People pass by, giving him strange looks and then I realize why.

Joel's face was full on cold. No emotion what so ever, no expression, nada. I sigh and let him take me outside where he slides on his helmet, slips on mine, and takes off once I'm on safely.

Him in this state while driving made me extremely nervous, and in every turn that came in our journey, I felt my stomach drop to the floor.

"Joel. Please, can you stop for a minute?"

He only goes faster and before I know it, we are in front of his penthouse, and he is turning off the motorcycle.

He doesn't dare look at me once we're dismounted, but I don't let that stop me from my next actions. I take a shaky breath and just as he's about to walk away, I wrap my fingers around his wrist.
