Chapter 10

"I'll see you tomorrow." I unbuckle my belt and lean over to give Vincent a kiss. I keep it short and sweet and see him pout a little when I pull away. 

"Bye princess," I gag at the nickname and he laughs. I expected him to drive off when I got out of the car but he was waiting until I got in safely. I smile at him and wave as I unlock the door. I hear the car drive off as I shut the door. 

It was already 2 pm and I could hear chatter from the living room. I walk in and see Mum, Dad, Pandora, Liam and Nadia all sitting watching Eastenders. Their heads turn towards me and I see Mum and Pandora give me a disgusted look. I was still dressed in Vincent's t-shirt and was wear my jeans. I hold my temptation to roll my eyes at them and smile at everyone.

"Amara! Looks like you had fun!" Nadia says when she notices the shirt and wiggles her eyebrows and my eyes widen. 

"No! Someone spilt their drink on me so I borrowed Xander's spare shirt." I easily lie. "I'm going to go have a shower," I start walking upstairs but take my phone out and text Nadia to come upstairs in 10 minutes with some food. 

I get into my room and grab my comfy Cinderella pyjamas and go inside to have a shower. I make sure the water is boiling before I step into it. The second the water hits me all my tiredness and worries vanish away. I sigh and enjoy the heat relaxing me but remember that Nadia is going to be upstairs in a bit so I finish washing and change into my pyjamas.

I walk out and see Nadia already in the room and two slices of pizza on my desk. "PIZZA!" I shout slightly and take a big bite out of it. "Mmhh." I hear Nadia chuckle and I sit next to her and offer her a slice. She shakes her head and smiles at me eating like a caveman. 

"Okay, I need to talk to you." She turns towards me and I sigh. "I had my first kiss last night," I mutter and Nadia lets out a small squeal. I shush her quickly but chuckle at her excitement. 

"I need details! Who was it with? Were you drunk? Did they take advantage of you?" Her questions attacked me and I put my hands on her shoulders to calm her down. 

"It was with this guy called Vincent," I take my phone out and show her a picture of him from his Instagram. 

"Damn." She says lowly and I smack her lightly. 

"Yes I was drunk, I chugged half a bottle of vodka down but he didn't take advantage of me." She looks at me in disappointment when I mention the vodka but it disappears quickly. "We ended up sleeping together." 

"WHAT!" She shouts and I roll my eyes. 

"No! Not sex! Just sleeping." She relaxes and I continue. "So when I woke up in the morning, he kept showering me with kisses, not that I minded, and then he asked me on a date." Another squeal from her. "But I feel like something is off." 

"What do you mean?" She asks softly.

"Well for starters, he's a playboy." Nadia rolls her eyes. "Second, we have only been speaking for a week and a bit." 

"Mara, life is too short to be worrying about these kinds of stuff. Liam asked me out to dinner 2 days after meeting me! A week is a long time to get to know someone." She tells me and I realise that we had spent a lot of time together in the past week. "The question is, do you like him?" 

I froze, did I like Vincent? I know I shouldn't like him, he's dangerous but the weird feeling in my stomach whenever I think of him is telling another story. "I don't know, I get this tingling feeling in my stomach when I think of him and I don't know if it is because I like him or my gut is warning me." I shrug.
