I let the door close behind me as I come home exhaustedly. This day has been crazy, first almost killing Chad and saving the mysterious girl, then going to college and having to deal with some stupid bullies. They obviously never saw a girl who didn't sleep in days before. "Hey" Hero snaps me out of my thoughts walking to me with that beautiful smile of his. "Hi" I greet him with a smile back and make my way to the living room. He told me to do whatever I want while I am here and he really made this house to be like home to me even tho I know I can't stay here forever because I don't want to be importunate. "How was your day?" he asks and I am feeling the irony in this whole situation because we seem like the old married couple. "It was exhausting" I sit on the couch rubbing my forehead. "Well should we order something for the dinner?" he asks and a soft chuckle escapes my lips. "Again? You don't know how to cook, don't you?" He shakes his head and I can see his cheeks getting a bit darker. Since I'm here we ate pizza, Mexican and Chinese food, nothing else, I kinda miss the homemade food. "No, not really, do you?" I nod my head and stand up. "Yes, my mom thought me some things, we can maybe make something like pasta with meet balls together?" I smile again and he nods his head. "Yes of course, that sounds amazing" we make our way to his big kitchen and start making the dinner.
Some hours later and the dinner is already done and eaten. The half empty bottle of wine is open on the table and our quiet laughs are filling the room every now and then. "So how did you end up like this?" I ask Hero taking a sip of the dark red wine which tastes like it coasted a shit tone of money. "Like what?" Hero pours more wine in my glass every time I take a sip of it causing me go giggle. "Rich, hot, mysterious, untalented for cooking....." Hero looks at his plate and takes one big sip of the wine before looking up at me. "Why are you so curious about my past?" I lick my lips and rest my chin on my hands. "Because I am a curious person okay? Plus, I told you about my past, now it's your turn" he nods his head and looks at me. "You are right, I respect that and I'll tell you" he cleans his hands in the napkin before continuing making me even more curious and anxious. "I used to be the sugar daddy for the girls" he says and my jaw drops to the floor. "Holy shit!! That's so cool!! I want a sugar daddy!!" The alcohol in me speaks causing both of us to laugh again. "Too bad for you that I'm not allowed to be a sugar daddy since I spent my dad all money" I laugh more on his words. "You asshole! You spent your dad money to buy expensive gifts for girls! Now I can't have a sugar daddy!" I say laughing and he nods his head also laughing. The atmospheric in this room currently amazing.
Some more minutes of laughing and drinking and we look at each other with out cheeks a bit red due to the alcohol and our clothes along with our hair messed up. "You know what I really want to do right now? Hero asks me swinging in his chair a bit and I shake my head. "Last time I checked people still can't read each other's minds" he chuckles and surprises me with the most unexpected sentence ever. "I want to kiss you" on his words the old bad memories poop up in my head immediately. Like when Chad used to kiss me without me wanting it, his lips were so dry and they tasted really bad. His dirty hands touching my cheeks as I tried to let go off him. I gulp and look at Hero. "You wanna kiss me?" he nods his head looking at my scared eyes with his gorgeous green ones. "You are just so beautiful, you are an amazing person, you are so sweet and your lips look so kissable" he says and I let the adrenaline take over my body. I promised myself I won't let my past affect my future. I need to stop thinking about Chad and his stupid actions which caused me so many pain. I need to move on. I grab Hero by the collar of his shirt and kiss his luscious lips before I could lose the courage do it. His big plump lips taste to wine and the coconut from the coconut cake we just ate. People say they don't know how heaven looks like, but I can say that kissing Hero feels like heaven.
