What The Heart Wants (Stereo Kicks/ James Graham)

Chapter 24

When Tom and I pulled up outside the house, we noticed Charlie, Reece, James and Jake were already waiting for us. I jumped out of the car and ran up to James. He wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me off the ground. I hugged him tightly until he gently set me down. "I missed you." I smiled up at him. "I missed you too." He smiled back. "Well don't we feel loved." Charlie said sarcastically. I chuckled and walked over and gave the rest of the boys a hug. "Yeah, sure Aria! I'll just grab everything!" Tom yelled from the trunk. "Whoops." I mumbled and turned towards the car. I heard the other guys laugh behind me. After Tom and I got our luggage we went back to stand with the guys. After a few minutes Barclay, Casey and Chris walked up behind us. I didn't hear them coming and the boys didn't say anything, so when Casey grabbed my waist and lifted me over his shoulder I couldn't help but let out an ear piercing scream. Everyone started laughing, but I was still trying to catch my breath. "Casey! Put me down you idiot!" I yelled, which made the boys laugh harder. Ugh. Boys. I stopped struggling and waited patiently to be set down. When I was back on my feet, I turned and smacked Casey playfully on the chest. "Hey! What was that for?" He smiled and held his chest dramatically. "For almost giving me a heart attack!" I accused. He just grinned and I rolled my eyes. "Let's go inside, shall we?" Tom suggested. We all nodded our heads, grabbed our things, and walked inside. The house was huge. It had to be considering how many people would be living in it. We all went upstairs and noticed there were names posted on different doors. The boys and I looked around until we found our names. When I found mine I was immediately dreading the nights to come.

1- Aria
2- Parisa
3- Betsey-Blue

I looked around and noticed that all the boys got put together. In the room right across the hall from me was:

1- Casey
2- Barclay
3- Chris
4- Reece

And in the room right next door was:

1- Tom
2- James
3- Jake
4- Charlie

No fair. Why did they get to room together but I had to share a room with the wicked bitches of the west? "This blows." I complained. "Don't worry. You can sneak in my bed in the middle of the night." Someone whispered in my ear. I turned to see a sexy looking Casey staring at me. God damn, I really want to kiss him. The other boys were setting things up in their rooms so it was just me and Casey in the hallway. He looked from my eyes to my lips and instinctively licked his own lips. So he wanted to kiss me too. I smirked and pulled him in for a quick kiss. It was over almost as soon as it started. Just a quick peck, that left both of us hungry for more. There was no way I would risk getting caught though so we would just have to wait until the coast was clear. Eventually the boys filed out of their rooms and seen that I was rooming with the 'hot but bitchy' girls from Only The Young. "Damn that sucks. Don't worry though, we'll protect you." Charlie smiled at me. "Thanks, but I can handle them. I've dealt with girls like them before." I gave him a reassuring smile. "You guys wanna check out the backyard?" James asked us. As if we all thought the same thing, we ran for the stairs and sprinted through the house until we were outside. "Huh." Jake muttered as we looked around in slight disappointment. "It's big, I'll give it that." Casey said. "But it's no Bermuda." I added and he looked at me with a genuine smile. "No. It's definitely not Bermuda." He winked, causing a slight blush to show on my cheeks. Thank god he was the only one who noticed. I looked away from him and back to the yard. "It's a good size for some football and soccer." I smiled. They agreed, and we all went back inside. I didn't feel like sitting alone in my room so I went next door and chilled with James, Jake, Tom, and Charlie. They were, of course, playing FIFA. James was sitting in a beanbag chair staring intently at the tv. I smiled and walked over and sat down on his lap. "Well hello there." He said, not looking up from the tv. "How'd you know it was me?" I was bored so I poked his cheek. "Well who else would come randomly sit on my lap?" He swatted my hand away. "Jake." I smiled. "You're probably right." He laughed and finally looked at me. I didn't realize how close we were until he looked at me. I quickly looked at the game and noticed James was winning. I sat there watching them  play for a few minutes before I could feel the spots where James and I were touching getting hotter, and the tension was getting to be too much for me. I had to get out of there. "I should go." I said suddenly and stood up then left without another word. Once I entered my room, I took a deep breath and shut the door. Out of nowhere, someone put their hand over my mouth and pushed me against the door. I looked up into Casey's eyes and relaxed. He pulled his hand away and quickly replaced it with his lips. It was rough and took me off guard. After a couple seconds, my lips began moving with his and my hands found their way to his hair. He gently bit my bottom lip causing a small moan to escape me. He didn't pull away though. We kept kissing and I felt his tongue lick at my bottom lip. I slowly opened my mouth and allowed him entry. At first it was just a small flick of his tongue but it made me want more. I felt him smile into the kiss and then our lips and tongues were fighting for dominance. His hands slowly grabbed the back of my thighs and he lifted me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist. His hands were hovering between my thighs and my butt and I couldn't help but let out a small laugh. He slowly pulled away smiling. "What?" He whispered. "Nothing, it's just...look at us. Going at it like two jack rabbits." I joked. "To be fair, we weren't having sex, we were just making out. So that saying doesn't apply here." He grinned and set me down. "Not yet anyway." He winked and I felt my face get warm. God damn it, that's the second time today! "I should go." He whispered and leaned in to kiss me one last time before opening my door and walking the three steps to his room. It's gonna be extremely difficult to control myself when he's that close.
