Mina's POV:
His hand slides down my arm, sending chills all over my body. The little hairs on my arms stand up straight and I turn to look into his mocha eyes. He smiles and doesn't break eye contact as he takes my hand gently, holding only my fingers. He lifts my hand up to my eye level and leans down slightly to kiss the top of it, prince style. A small smile pulls at the corners of my mouth, but I fight to maintain my blank face.
When he looks back at me, something flashes behind his eyes. Desire. A shaky, airy breath escapes my lips and I break eye contact. He drops my hand and slips his left hand to my lower back, playing with the hem of my loose shirt. I tentatively let my head fall on his shoulder, nuzzling my nose in his neck. I can practically feel him smiling at me as his cold hand slips under my top. I filch and he stops. I wrap my arms around him in an effort to tell him it's okay.
A knot in my stomach begins to grow as his hand travels further up my back, taking my shirt with it. The cold air sends shivers down my arms. I part my lips unconsciously and let my eyes flutter closed. I lift my arms up and let him pull my top off, lost in the moment. He takes my shoulders and pulls me away from him. I open my eyes and pout. I miss the warmth.
He smiles and the last living part of me dies, my heart fluttering. He leans closer and kisses me on the cheek, sending a whole new wave of emotions fleeting through me. He whispers something into my jawline, biting at the skin gently. My head falls back and I feel like I can't breathe. My mind goes completely blank when I try to protest.
I feel like I should be cold without a shirt on, but his warm body is comforting and welcoming. He pulls away slowly and takes a step backward, toward what I recognize as a bedroom. I eagerly follow him and let him lead my romantically into the dimly lit room. I gently close the door as he pulls his own shirt off.
I turn back to him and lose my breath. I don't think he's aware of how beautiful he looks. He looks up at my with those big brown doe eyes and smiles, extending his hand towards me. I happily take it and embrace him. I nuzzle my head in the crook of his neck and sigh in content. I peck him on the cheek before pulling away.
All of a sudden he's gone. I shiver without his warm body next to mine and look around, confused. Parts of the room begin to fade away and I spin around, confused.
All of a sudden, my eyes shoot open. I'm in my own bedroom, fully dressed. A stream of light breaks through my curtains, landing on my bed. My alarm is blaring and I fumble to turn it off. I try to roll over and go back to sleep, but I can hear my mom yelling at me to get up from outside my door. Mumbling a reply, I find my phone on the nightstand next to me and almost blind myself by turning it on.
I have 1 new message from an unknown number. It reads: Hey Mina! Marguerite gave me your number so we can keep in touch about the science project we're doing together. See you in school! -Joe
Kill me now.
