Chapter 14

Amara's Pov:

The car ride was silent so far. I stare at the passing trees but my mind was still playing the note I received today. Why was C after me? Were my actions going to hurt someone? More specifically Vincent?

I look over at him and could notice that his shoulders were tense and he was thinking about the same thing. This was my problem, not his and he shouldn't be so stressed about it.

"I had a great time tonight." I break the silence and Vincent glances at me for a second before keeping his eyes on the road.

"Even with 'C' ruining our date?" The disgust when he said 'C' could be heard miles away.

"I wouldn't say ruined it. Yeah, he made us wrap our date up quickly but I enjoyed it. Oh, but for future reference, never take me to such an expensive restaurant where the food portion is tiny!" We both laugh and remember the look on my face when I saw how big my dish was. The name was longer than the dish.

"Future reference huh?" I hear a flirty tone in Vincent's voice.

"Did you think there was only going to be one date?" I smile at him and suddenly the car stops on the side of the road. The next thing you know is that my belt is undone and I'm being pulled onto Vincent's lap.

Our lips crash together and maybe it was the fact that our food portion was tiny but we were hungry for each other. His hands were placed on my sides whereas mine where entangled within his hair.

He slips his tongue into my mouth and I could feel him exploring my mouth and I didn't want him to stop. A small moan leaves the back of my throat before I could stop it and I feel Vincent smirk against me.

We finally pull away because we started losing breath. Now that was an amazing kiss.

"Let's get you home before I lose control." Vincent whispers and I feel myself get hot. Not trusting my words I nod in response and slowly slide back into my seat. It wasn't as graceful as it sounds, I got stuck slightly and Vincent had to pull me slightly and put me on my seat.

We buckle back up and Vincent places his hand over my thigh before roaring back to the road.

"I'll see you, tomorrow Queen." I smile at my nickname and give him a quick peck.

"Goodnight Vin. Text me when you get home safely."

I get out of the car and like last time Vincent waited until I was safely inside and then drove off.

It was 10:50 but everyone was already asleep and all the lights were out except for the one in the hall.

I take my heels off and grab them in my hand and walk upstairs really quietly. I shut my door slowly and flop down on my bed. Today has been so exhausting that I fell asleep without changing or taking my makeup off.

"Oh, honey you look hideous." Is the first thing I hear. I open my eyes and see Mum standing next to the window and looking at me with a smile.

"Huh?" I was still half asleep but looked in the mirror across my bed and cringe a little. The once beautiful makeup was now all smudged and my dress was wrinkled. I looked like a racoon, again.

"You better go have a shower right now if you want to leave on time." I look over to the clock and see I have 40 mins until I need to leave.

"I'll come downstairs in about 15 mins." Mum kisses the top of my head and walks out of the room. I quickly grab my phone and see that I had a couple of messages from Xander, Van and Vincent. Seeing that none of them was important, I grab my underwear and jump in the shower.
