Try Me (Drunk In Love #1)

Chapter Nineteen

*Abel's P.O.V*

It was fun to tease her about date and watch the redness spreading on her cheeks. Seeing her embarrassed, it did something in my chest. I don't know but I got this warmness and like my heart is expanding in my chest. I like that feeling.

She leaves to put the leftovers in the fridge. When she comes back, I have pulled my legs up on the sofa and leaning on the armrest behind me. I gesture for her to sit between me, opening my legs and making room for her.

Without hesitation, she situates herself, leaning on my chest and touching my leg with her bare ones. I feel the goosebumps rising when my run my hand over her bare thigh. She takes a deep breath then snuggles even more in me.

I put my arms right below her chest and pull her closer, putting my face in her open hair and smelling that intoxicating scent of her. Something sweet, like vanilla and cocoa mixed and something cool. Soon she drift of to sleep, her body loosing its rigidness. I carefully move down so that she is laying on my chest.

I get an idea, I take out my cellphone from my jeans pocket. Launching the camera, I position the cellphone away from me so that only Kia'a top of the head is in view and my lower half of face. I move in front and plant a kiss in her hair and at the same time, click the picture.

She stirs is sleep, turning and holding me while her whole body is on me. I laugh at her possessiveness. Even in sleep, she needs to be touching or holding me. I don't think she knows that herself too or that I have noticed, but whenever we are together, a part of her body is always touching me or holding me.

I get that feeling again. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Unconsciously, but she is falling for me. I can see that in her eyes. But I am too selfish, I won't let her go. I won't call her out because she might back away or worse, break up with me. I know that if she does that, she is doing the right thing. I'm not who she thinks I am. I am fire and I'm afraid I am going to burn her if she gets too close.

*Kiara's P.O.V*

I don't know when I drift off until I feel a buzzing underneath me. It's irritating and I open my eyes to find the source. When I see what, or rather who, I was sleeping on, I feel embarrassed as hell. I was on Abel, sleeping and to my horror, drooling. His tee shirt is wet from where my drool was.

I quickly pull myself off him, waking him up in the process. He pulls himself on his elbow, asking me what's wrong.

"Nothing." I say quickly.

"There was something buzzing irritatingly. That's what woke me up." I say to him.

He reaches into his jeans pocket and pull out his cellphone, the source of vibration.

"What? Seven missed calls." He says to himself.

"Was it important?" I ask, referring to the calls. He shakes his head no but his whole concentration in on the cellphone in his hand. I see his fingers moving quickly on the screen and realise he is typing something. I leave him to his not so important calls and head to the bathroom.

Cleaning myself, I stay few minutes extea to look at myself in the reflection. My face is glowing and looks so healthy. A startling difference from when I broke up with Ty. Pushing the bad memories down, I walk back to the kitchen.

I take out last night's pizza and put it in the oven to reheat. Abel walks in, he have removed his jacket and tee shirt to my surprise. His semi naked state leaves me incoherent. He sees my expression and winks at me, laughing loudly.

"Like whatcha see?" He asks me, sitting down at the dining table. I close my mouth shut and turn back, putting coffee in the coffee machine. He hums behind me while I put the slices on the plates and coffee in the mugs.

"Hope you like leftovers because I was too lazy to make anything else."

"Are you kidding ma? Pizza for breakfast, can I get a hell yes!" I laugh at his comment.

"So." I start. He mumbles, encouraging me to continue.

"Did you noticed we slept together last night?" He looks at me clueless so I further explain.

"I mean just slept, not had sex. Wait, you didn't while I was sleeping, did you?" I ask him jokingly.

"No ma, necrophilia is not my thing. I like my girl wide awake and screaming while I fuck her." I choke on my pizza slice. He smiles sweetly at me.

"And yeah, it was an honor. To just sleep. By the way, there was drool on my shirt." He says while eating.

I put my head down in embarrassment. "Don't worry. I find it cute when girls drool."

"Oh, so I am cute huh?" He nods his head yes. I don't think he meant it as an insult but I feel like I need to prove him I am not just cute.

His cellphone starts vibrating again, indicating an incoming call. He picks it up in a haste, mumbling hmms and yes while the person on the other line talks. He looks anxious after the call ends.

"I need to go. I have some important work." He says abruptly and stands up. I do the same too.

"Is everything okay?" I ask him while he retreats to living room. He pulls his tee shirt over his head and put on the jacket.

"Hey, you okay?" I hold his upper arm, making him turn to me. He pulls me close to him, our chests touching. Then he reaches out and rub my cheek, then my jaw, moving to my lower lip. He bite his own when he looks down at mine.

Slowly, he leans forwards and plants his full lips on mine. I move my lips to his slow rhythm, savoring him in this moment. His hand reach behind my head and hold it in place while other is snaked around my waist. I run my hands down his back and arm.

"Also, we didn't kissed yesterday." He says while moving back a little. I laugh at his comment then nod my head in agreement.

"I got to go ma. I'll call you, bye." He turns back and walk to the foyer.

"Bye Abel." I say as he exits the house. Who called him that he was so anxious and in a haste to leave? What is this guy hiding from me? These thoughts run through my mind, and also memories from last night. I didn't know Abel did romantic dates. We need to do it more often.
