Chapter 14. After Shock 

Matt’s POV

 I pulled out of the kiss and caught my breath. We both stood there, staring at each other with our eyes wide open and stunned as hell. I can’t believe I kissed her.

It was a simple kiss, not even a snog, our lips just met for a few seconds, but heck...it was intense. I could still feel the tingles rushing through my body even though we already broke apart and were just standing there looking at each other.

I could very well see the surprise and shock in her bright gray eyes.  She was white as a ghost which I know from the back of my mind that it was clearly not a good sign. Oh shit. Girls should blush after a kiss right? Not look like blood was suck out of her. I gulped. I can’t tell what exactly happened and I’m starting to consider that my brain had completely turned into jelly or something.

From what I can remember, we were arguing about yesterday’s incident at the pub when I ditched her for Cate. She was fuming and I heard a lot of profanities not known to eternal humanity.

 I tried to apologise but she just kept on yelling and interrupting me. It made me feel guilty and angry. I felt angry at her for not giving me the chance to explain. If only she would just shut her bloody mouth for a few seconds and let me finish, then this wouldn’t have happened. We would have resolved this right away and just go on with our normal lives. If only she had shut her bloody mouth.

But she’s Joey McAdams. And truth behold, there is no single normal nerve within her.  All the while, she just kept on ranting and loathing, telling me in my face what an awful bastard I already knew I am.

Last night, I wanted to go back and get her, but Cate convinced me that she might be on her way home already and just rode with one of my friends, which I very well knew that she’ll have a bloody ride with Rico. I tried brushing it off, but guilt was a b*tch, it ate my insides and didn’t stop me from thinking about her. So I gave up and went into her room to wait for her, hoping that she would arrive safe any time soon. Epic fail! My stupidity took over and I dozed off. Yeah, I dozed off, not in my bed but on hers. I wanted to throw a right hook at myself for letting that happen, but I just can’t blame myself can I? I just came from a match and I feel beaten as hell.

Little did I know, this would just complicate every single inch of the situation that we are already in.

 The spark of emotions I had when I felt her soft lips against mine was enough for me to go nuts. I don’t understand why I did it. All I know is that I was freakin’ annoyed and I want her to shut the hell up, so upon acting on impulse, I closed the gap between us and suddenly crashed my lips into hers. I was right though. That, made Joey McAdams shut up.

I felt her knees weaken with the impact of my lips and I slid my hand at her back to support her weight, bringing her closer to me. I can tell that didn’t expect it since her body was stiff under my arms for a few seconds and that was until I felt her relax and she closed her eyes. I felt my insides boil with an unfamiliar feeling.

“Oh shit!” I mumbled under my breath. I slapped my forehead with my hand and closed my eyes as I felt myself being brought back to reality.

Damn! I shouldn’t have kissed her.  This would just make things awkward between us than it already were. I mentally cursed myself again, regret and annoyance bubbling inside me. I really shouldn’t have done that. I scared her away. I was really one fine piece of an assh*le.

I slowly opened my eyes and met her gaze for a moment, her bright gray eyes instantly told me that she was upset as she let out a deep breath.  I opened my mouth to explain.
