Try Me (Drunk In Love #1)

Chapter Thirty Three

The day passed by in a blur, as soon as I got home, I took a two hour nap. When I woke up a few of my colleagues came to see me. They bought balloons and flowers and booze. We talked about what will our future be now, as we all are jobless. Two of them got transferred to Lush bar in New York and will start working in few days.

Lexi said she had something for me. She brought a gift box tied with ribbon. Excitedly, I untied them and found a new phone. My old one broke when I was rescuing Abel. I hugged and thanked her for the gift.

We ordered Chinese takeout and after eating they left. Tabitha left too, she had to meet someone. I plop down on the sofa feeling the effect of medicine kicking in. Before I know it I have dozed off.

*Abel's P.O.V *

I am such a bad boyfriend. Kiara was discharged today and I wasn't even there. How will I explain to her what kept me so busy? I park on her street, it's late at night so the road is deserted. I look up and see her house lights are on.

I walk up the stairs and ring her doorbell. The door opens a few minutes later by Alexia. She greets me and let me in. I see Kiara on the sofa, sleeping. I move closer, adjusting the blanket on her.

"Did she eat anything?" I ask Alexia, my eyes still on Kia.
"Yeah, we ordered takeout. You can have some if you're hungry." She offers. I shake my head at her.

"Should I wake her up? She fell asleep just now." Alexia informs me. "No, I'll do it." I move towards her putting my hand on her forehead.

"I'll be in my room. Let me know if you want anything. Good night." She talks her laptop and walks towards the guest room. I settle myself on the sofa, sitting near her legs. She looks so beautiful sleeping, her mouth slightly open and softly snoring.

I lean forward, my face inches from hers. I kiss her forehead softly, then move the hair that have fallen on her face. I move back and look down at the wound on her arm. She risked everything, for me. Why, you silly girl? Don't she know she will only get her heart broken?

I intervene my fingers with her, resting them on her stomach. She stir in her sleep, her breathing speeding up. I lean down on her again, this time to brush my lips on her. Those damn lips, so full and soft. I kiss her and feel her responding.

She move her lips to mine, her hand snake around my neck and pull me down on her. She deepens the kiss, opening her mouth to let me in. She meets me, tongue to tongue, sometimes slowing down, sometimes speeding up.

I pull away, my breathing ragged. I feel my heart beating hysterically in my chest. She opens her eyes slowly, meeting my gaze.
