Smells Like Nirvana

Chapter 24

Knock Knock

His lips were so soft, and he was so gentle. As their lips moved together, she realized that she really cared for him and was glad he was ok.

After a few minutes, she pulled away.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong."
"Am I a bad kisser or something?"
"Oh god no!"
She said.
"It was amazing. It's just... well, you're bleeding everywhere, and my condo is nearby. Would you like to come up so I can clean you up?"
"Sure. Can I kiss you again?"
"Let's get you cleaned up first. Then we can discuss the terms of your surrender."
She laughed, then he laughed and she helped him up, and they went back to her place.

Walking in her door, was awkward. Crystal was there with Liam. They were watching movies on the couch.

"Hey Scar. How was your..."
Crystal looked over at Scarlett and saw Brian's face.
"Oh my God Scar! What happened? Did he make you mad?"
"Seriously? Do you think he'd be here with me, right now, if I were the one that hurt him?"
"Well, I heard you like it rough."
"CRYSTAL!!"
Brian just laughed at Scarlett's embarrassment.

"Michael did this. He showed up on our date and beat up Brian."
"I'm sure he had his reasons Scarlett."
"No Liam. He didn't. This is Michael we are talking about. He was just jealous, and I shot him down. He asked me out for tonight while I was on my date. I told him no."

Scarlett was clearly upset. But Brian felt the need to reassure her.

"Scarlett, I'm ok. So, no harm done."
"Speaking of... we will be in my room, if you need anything just knock."

"Ooo, no kissing!"
"Oh, there will definitely be kissing."
Scarlett said, as she went in her room with Brian and closed the door behind them.

"I have the peroxide in my bathroom, let me just go get it."
She came back with the peroxide and some cotton balls, and started to clean his face. It looked pretty bad. He looked like he had a busted cheek bone. Michael got him pretty good, but it didn't seem to bother Brian too much.

"This may sting a little."
She said, before applying the peroxide coated cotton ball to his face. But he never even flinched. He just kept looking up at her, from where he sat on her bed. She stood above him.
"Ok, all done. Do you want some bandaids?"
"Nope. All I want is you."
And before she knew what was going on, his lips were on hers. Still soft and sweet, like before, but a little more demanding.
She liked it.
His arms were around her waist, pulling her to his lap, where she sat and wrapped her legs around him, still in the sitting position. She pulled him closer, til there was no room, or air, left between them.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, begging him to stay where he was. The kiss was exhilarating, and she wanted so much more, but she couldn't. Not yet, she wasn't ready and she barely knew him. She wasn't even the type to kiss on the first date...

Then, she heard a light tap on her door.
"Um,  Scar? You busy?"

Scarlett was a little busy, so she ignored her. Until the knocking became more annoying.

"Scarlett, can you come out here?"

Still, she said nothing. Until she heard a deep voice, of the one person she didn't want to see or even talk to.

"Scarlett. Can I come in?"
"No!"
She yelled, but just to piss him off, she looked at Brian, and he smiled at her idea. She whispered it to him. He nodded. He didn't care if Michael cared or not.

"I'll be out in a few minutes. Just let us get dressed."

In the living room, Crystal looked over to Liam, and then over to Michael. Michael was lost. He didn't even know she wasn't alone.

"What the..."
