Pain & Pleasure: Perplexed Love {Wattpadprize14}

Chapter 13- Jealousy Brings Out The Truth (edited chapter)

I was awakened by the sound of the front door opening and closing. Slowly parting my eyes and slightly stretching my cramped arms, I noticed that I was still on the couch in the living room. 

Letting out a mighty yawn, I pushed myself up into a sitting position and glanced at the clock above the TV that read the time to be seven o'clock. Leaning forward and resting my head in my hands, I let the events of earlier flood my mind and immediately groaned from the memory. 

Liam was literally starting to drive me crazy, and I was sure he knew what he was doing. He knew as well as I did how much he was affecting me, he knew what buttons to push, and he knew just what to say and do to make me want him more or hate him more.

It was like he enjoyed toying with me, as if he was purposely trying to hurt me, and it was beginning to frustrate me more than ever. Most of my frustration was not because of his cruelty towards me as much as it was the way he acts when he is in the moment of biting me. His actions, the way he speaks to me, how gentle he is with me for those few moments, and the complete change of his personality were the reasons I felt so confused in the first place.

I could just sense that there was more to Liam Lock than he was letting on. I knew he was hiding something, and I could tell Olivia and the rest of his friends knew what that something was. That is one of the reasons why I was so tempted to let him in earlier. I wanted so badly to know everything about him and why he was singling me out and the reasons behind him being a vampire. There were just so many questions I wanted answered by him.

My feelings towards Liam were the main thing I needed an explanation for. I knew there had to be an answer to why I felt so obligated to satisfy his every need. There had to be a logic explanation for why I felt such a strong desire for him and longed to actually be bitten by him. 

Most importantly, there had to be a reason for my actions, as well. Why did I so desperately want Liam's affections? Why did I want to be wanted by him, even though he hurts me so badly? Why was I filled with immediate jealousy at the thought of Liam being with another girl in the same way he was with me?

Just then my mother and father entered the living room, snapping me out of my messy thoughts, with big smiles on their faces and greeted me, "Hi, honey did you have a good day at school?" my mother asked me after sitting down in the seat next to me.

Not wanting to go into what was actually going on with me, I decided to lie and save both her and my father the confusion and worry, "Hey mom, school was cool I guess nothing exciting happened or anything. What about you guys? How was it meeting your new bosses dad?" I asked my dad, while effectively changing the subject, after answering my mothers question.

At my question, my Mom and Dad's faces brightened, and they both started to retell how the dinner, along with the meet and greet, went. By the time we had all shared our days with one another, it was around nine-thirty and my parents had said their goodnights to me before retreating to their room for the night.

Deciding to head on up to my room also, I quickly grabbed a bottled water from the fridge and made my way upstairs, as well. When I finally settled on my bed, I went straight for my bag and grabbed all my homework that needed to be done. 

About twenty minutes into my history homework, my cell started to ring. Leaning over to my side table where I had placed it, I quickly grabbed it and glanced over the screen to see who was calling. The screen read Amanda, so pushing my homework aside for a few seconds, I quickly answered my cell with a "Hello."

"Kyla hey are you busy right now?" Amanda asked.

"Hey Amanda, No I'm not busy, I was just doing some left over homework for tomorrow. Why what's up?" I asked her while relaxing back into the mound of pillows perched up against my headboard.
