Find me

Chapter 35

                             Alice

It doesn't take me more than a few seconds to leave the terrace without so much as a glance over my shoulder. I'm too stunned to even look at anything or him.

There is no logical explanation for what just happened, and Dorian doesn't seem to want to figure one out. I went downstairs, unable to notice anyone passing by me until someone shouted, snapping me out of the daydreaming.

My mind is awhirl and my pulse is still racing as the realization sinks in, slowly, and then overwhelming. I've just kissed Dorian.
Dorian. I've just kissed him. I've just kissed the guy who infuriates me, the one who always confused me, who makes my blood heat up. The guy who has a girlfriend, I guess.

What the hell, Alice?

I went out of the building and from all the people, I want to be alone. I sank to the grass, pulling my knees up, and resting my arms on them. I cover my face with both my palms, trying to hide my embarrassment. I may have kissed him, but he kissed me back. And with a lot of damn energy too. So I'm not alone to be blamed.

Am I supposed to talk to him? Ask him what the hell just happened between us? Ignore him? I don't know.

Exhaling. I tell myself to keep it together. Right now I've to behave normally as if nothing had happened.

"Are you alright?" a voice comes from my back, making me jump in surprise. I turned as Luke sits beside me. He looks worried.

I nodded 'Yes'. I don't have any energy left to speak anything. My whole day was worst, first Gloria and then Dorian.

He pulled me in to hug "Thank God! I know whatever the hell had happened. I'll kill her for sure".
I slowly remove myself from his hold "You don't have to" I say.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't there, but honestly If I was present there at that time, I never let that happen," he frowned. I can see his pained gaze on me.

I let out a heavy sigh and hold his hand "Don't worry, I'm completely okay, see?" and turn myself to him so that he can clearly see me.

He didn't say anything, just watching me with concern in his eyes.

On the way back to my room, I meet Laura and she was crying like hell because she thought she couldn't do anything. She's ashamed of herself. But I know that no one is responsible for whatever the hell had happened.
