Coward

Chapter Thirty Two

When we pull into my driveway Josh's Audi is parked there, Liam choosing not to stick around doesn't even cut the engine as I untangle my limbs and as soon as my feet are on the ground he is already gone. When I look towards my house I see Josh leaning against the door frame. I smile at him and take a moment for myself to take in his appearance, savoring the image in my mind. I'm broken out of my trance as he almost forcefully runs his hand through his hair.

I sigh and I walk closer and I take in his very pissed expression, as I approach him I mutter under my breath, "please don't be mad at me too."

He grunts, "well, that's hard to do when I catch you getting rides from other guys, on the back of their motor bikes."

I roll my eyes, "you don't have to worry about Liam."

He crosses his arms, "is that so."

I nod, "tis the truth."

"Does he have a man bun too?" Josh replies almost snarkily.

"Nope, looks like you'll just have to just me on this one," I say as I fix my scarf.

"I'll bear it in mind," he mutters.

I smile at him as I close that gap between us, our chests almost touching, "so you don't believe me then."

He doesn't reply, instead settles his gaze on an object over my shoulder. Still grinning like a manic I stand on my toes and give him a quick peck on the lips. Then without waiting for a reaction I spin on my toes and sashay into the house. Half way into the kitchen on a search for food my wrist is grasped in a strong grip, spinning me around so our chests are firmly pressed together he leans down to capture his lips with mine. The kiss is long, slow and rough as if he felt the need to show me something.

When we break away to catch our breath he leans his forehead on mine. "Come stay at my place tonight," he whispers.

"What about Sunny and Austin, would they mind?" I whisper back, it would feel strange if we were to talk normally, it would be as I we were yelling.

He shrugs, a smirk lighting up his face allowing him to look younger. "I don't care what they think about this," he states firmly.

I laugh, "well I think Austin likes me enough and Sunny's coming around, he's finally seen the light."

He chuckles, "right then, I suppose we really should start thinking about possibly making a move."

I nod my head, shifting both our heads awkwardly up and down with the movement, "I suppose you are wright." We pull away at the same time and he starts to walk towards the door but I quickly call out, "I'll meet you in the car, I just need to grab some stuff." He murmurs in agreement as he waltzes towards the car.

Spinning around I quickly jog towards the ladder leading up to the second floor, scaling it in record time I hastily sort through a pile of clean clothes to wear tomorrow, on my way out I also grasp my hair brush and tooth brush before shoving them into my bag. I smile as I shut the door behind me and walk towards Josh's Audi. As I slide into the passager seat Josh pulls me into another kiss and I willingly respond. With a satisfied smirk etched onto his face he pulls away and the driving begins.

As we drive through the streets of Pineridge we pass through a familiar spot. I frown as I  think of the importance of this spot and I gasp. Josh's head whips in my direction, his face filling with concern, "what's wrong love?"
