My Secret Crush

CHAPTER 6 #MSC

ALEX POV

"What the fuck Aisling. You let Tasha and Fiona do all that to you?."
How could she be cool about Tasha treating her so bad.

"Is Andy aware?"
If no one knows at least Andy is her best friend and am sure she wouldn't watch Tasha and Fiona bully her friend.

"Andy isn't aware. Tasha's bahaviour towards me will only worsen the moment she finds out I told someone. I don't want any more of her trouble"

"She's a bitch and you don't deserve all this. Stand up for yourself and let her know you aren't weak"

"I can't" she whispers.

"You can't??" I ask.

"Alex we aren't the same people. Not everyone is capable of facing their fears and overcoming them"

"Isn't that what life is all about. Les Brown once said when you face fear, most of the time you'll discover that it was not really such a big threat after all. Now am quoting words" I cringed.

"What am I saying is for you to come out of your shell, show Tasha you aren't vulnerable like she thinks and stop doubting yourself "

"You know no one ever told me this mainly because I never told anyone about it. But still I don't regret telling you this."

"Am glad you shared it with me."

"Thank you"

I thought she was leaving but her action got me hooked.
The fuck is happening?

She wraps her hands around me. The feeling of her body pressed again mine soothed me more than I had expected sensing tingles over my body.

Although the hug is a gesture of gratitude there is something so warm, something that felt so right about her embrace.

it just isn't right.

"Aisling uhm... " I cleared my throat awkwardky stumbling upon my words.

She pulled away almost immediately "Sorry I should just leave"

Then it hit me. All I did was stand like a lifeless body during the whole hugging scenario
I shouldn't feel bad about it.

"Wait!" I pull her back and she crashed into my chest.
This isn't supposed to happen.

My eyes slowly flickered from her eyes down to her lips then back up again.

I'm going to regret this!

Like a dream in slow motion, my face bend down as she looks up, startled.

Claiming her mouth, very carefully parting them slightly. She followed my action.

Holy mother of... She kisses back.

My heart fluttered, little shiver of pleasure and panic shot through me as she deepens the kiss, parting my lips.

I felt a smile against her lips but the flutter only intensified. Circling my arms around her waist I can only focus on how soft, firm and persuasive her lips are.

Every other kiss have had in my life has been nothing like this. They all felt wrong that moment.

Including Claire..
CLAIRE!

The same thing isn't happening twice.
I can't let my emotions take over.

"This isn't right" With that I pulled away picking up backpack walking away.
