Pain and Pictures

Chapter 17- Kiss

The kiss started out soft, but quickly became passionate. I deepened the kiss and our tongues fought for control.

Before I knew it, she was under me.

We were like teenagers, dry humping and making out, it was fucking amazing!

Her hips lifted and I honestly thought I was going to explode in my jeans.

She wrapped her legs around me, I felt like a god. Until she started gasping for air and her hands clasped her chest.

Shit! Did I give her a heart attack?!

"Vi? What's wrong?!"

She didn't answer, just shut her eyes tight and shook.

I scrambled off of her, like she'd burned me. I didn't know what to do!

"Hello? Vi? I'm back!"

Victor!

"Victor?! In here!"

I knew the door was just around the corner, but I couldn't help yelling. I was scared shitless!

"Holy fuck! What did you do to her?!"

He rushed to her side and tried to get her to talk, or even open her eyes.

"Where are your pills? You need them!"

She pointed a shaky finger to the kitchen and I ran to it. pulling open every cabinet, I finally found one with a ton of scripts.

Holy shit! She takes a lot of medicine!

I didn't know which one she needed, so I pulled up the front of my shirt, to make a pouch. I then filled it with every prescription in the cabinet.

"I don't know which one!"

I was careful to get back to her with them all, but I felt like I was going to have a heart attack myself.

After I laid them all out on the coffee table, Victor looked through them all. He finally grabbed one and opened it.

I jumped back into action and ran to the fridge, she'd need water. I took the bottled water back to her and watched as Victor carefully brought her to sit up slightly. I snatched up all the throw pillows and put them behind her back.

"Shit, I never thought I'd be glad to see you. But I'm so glad you came when you did."

Her breathing had calmed enough to allow her to swallow the pill. She looked so pale. It freaked me out.

"Well, it's a very good thing I did come back. I wasn't going to, but I'd wanted to apologize to her for this morning."

"Why? What happened?"

He looked conflicted. Like he wanted to tell me, but also really didn't.

"When we got back from her appointment, and the door was unlocked, I went into a fit. About you. She was already scared and in a state. Having me yell at her was horribly cruel. I never wanted to hurt her."

So, it wasn't just me that made her look the way she had earlier.

"Victor? It's.... okay...."

"Vi? Don't tax yourself. Please, just rest. I truly am sorry though. It was awful timing, and I was... it doesn't matter. All that matters is that you're safe."

"Come here."

He approached her slowly, but when she could reach him, she pulled him into a hug.

"I love you, Victor. You're always forgiven. Always."

I thought I saw tears in his eyes.

"I love you too, sis."

I felt like I was intruding, but I also didn't want to leave her. Whatever I'd witnessed, was scaring the shit out of me. I needed to know that she was alright before I went anywhere.

"Vi? Are you okay? Do you need anything else?"

"No, Jordan. I'm fine. I've just done too much today. I think I'll go lay down. Victor, thank you for stopping by."

With that, Victor kissed her head and then left.

"Could you help me?"

"Yeah. Of course!"

I went to her and it was obvious she expected me to just help her walk, but I had other ideas. I may not have the strongest arms, but I had no problem holding her.

I scooped her up and her arms quickly wrapped around my neck.

"I can walk, you know?"

"I know, but I want to.... um... to hold you. Is that okay?"

I was nervous. Maybe I'd gone too far.

"It's nice, actually. But do you think we can move?"

Oh, shit. I hadn't moved an inch!

I held her closer, trying not to hurt her.

I desperately wanted to kiss her, but after what happened, I wasn't sure if I should.

As I walked towards her room, her hands buried into my hair, like she was giving me a massage. It felt fantastic.

"As fantastic as that feels, I was hoping you could get the door? I don't want to drop you."

She turned her head and reached for the doorknob, opening it.

"Will you stay with me, again?"

"I don't know if I should. Don't get me wrong, being in bed with you is nice, very nice. But I really want to do more than sleep, and I don't want a repeat of what just happened."

Her cheeks blossomed red, and she hid her face into my chest. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

We were standing over the bed, I really didn't want to let her go. But I also knew that if I didn't, I'd have her naked in seconds. Fuck.

I softly laid her down on the unmade bed. My hands lingering a little longer than warranted.

I snapped out of my lust fueled daze, covered her up, and walked out.

I had an article to start writing.
