A Good Girl's Confession

Chapter 19: Confused As Hell

*Lauren's POV*

Looking at his fading back as he walks away from me, makes me want to cry. I don't know why I'm feeling like this. I should be happy now because I am not staying with Justin alone in this magnificent house. But...

A part of you wants to. Don't be a hypocrite. You want to spend more freaking time with him.

Fine! I push the voice on the back of my head in the doom of nowhere because it's giving my neuron a mild attack. I may be going insane but I just find my way rushing towards Justin's direction.

"Heyyyy! Justin. Wait up!", I called at the top of my lungs.

I still keep on running without looking for him. All I know now is that I should be calling for his name. Random thoughts start to flood my mind when all of a sudden I bombarded with something so lean but delicately soft.

My body froze as I realize what it is when I look up. Justin's now looking at me with an unexplainable look. It's a mixture of hope, worry and there's also a glimmering joy.

And to my surprise, (I never expected that this could be this awesome), he pulls me into a bone-crashing hug. I just can't deny this bloody magnico feeling, that's why I also hug him back. His body tensed at my movement.

I should be really out of my mind because all I know now is that I just can't end this wonderful feeling lingering from his touch.

"I want to stay here with you Just that's why I called you a while ago", I manage to say as I try to hide my burning cheeks on his heavenly-scented chest.

I can hear his wild heartbeart. It's drumming inside his chest. I try to really absorbed the rhythm when...

"What does the both of you thinking hugging in the middle of a pathway?"

Both our bodies froze at the sound of Dwight's voice.

"Shit.. ...-to know about this.", he mutters more to himself.

"Whatt?", I reply not minding that we have an audience and still wondering what he had just said.

"She nearly lost her balance pal. You know Lauren. Quite a handful eh?", he retaliated awkwardly not answering my question but instead addressing it to Dwight. He loosen his grip around my waist and I might be protesting if it's not so awkward having Dwight around.

"There, next time you should be careful sweet pea", he said smiling like a fool while patting my head like a dog.

"I'm not a dog to be patted like that Justin. Your annoying", I scold him off before trodding towards his house pouting.

"Someone's pouting. What happened baby girl?", I guess it's Keith trying to start another round of picking-up-on-their-princess tirade but I'm pissed like hell with Justin. I am now on the sala and I bet they're making me as the spectacle of their bizarre goofing.

"Dont start now that I'm not cut for all of your bullshits.", I shouted at them while I'm heading upwards as I climb up the stairs. I catch a glimpse of an alley where everything is color green. This house is just so grand that it's beauty is suffoocating. There's a chandelier hanging on the center of the high ceiling. I'm literally gaping because even our house is as big as this, I can't appreciate the grandeur it exhibits because it purely reminds me of heartaches and abandonment.

This house is full of alleys I might add, maybe three branching from the center as you land on top of the 20-step stairway. The alleys have different color motifs. The first one that really caught my attention is the green which I'm talking earlier with those extravagant chandeliers. The left alley from the center is looking marvelous with how bloody the red ornaments and accented wallpapers emphasizing everything on sight. And the other which is slightly hidden considering from where I'm standing is illuminating a darker shade of blue.
