Resurrected From Death

Chapter 12: Bloody Goatish head!

Irene's POV

"We reached, Irene," Chris tells me as we stand in front of my house. 
"Hey, Irene. Are you fine? We were so worried." Tyler hugged me tightly.
"I am fine. Ty."  
"Darling, come inside. You must be cold." Mom prompts and I nod as I start moving forward.
"Hey, buddy. You can also join us, right mom? I mean he technically delivered our lovely Irene back home. Or else, this package would have gone missing." Tyler scoffs.
I eye-roll and mom hesitantly agrees.
Without uttering a single word to anyone I move to my room. 
"I need some time off, thank you" I mutter and shut the door behind me.

You are adopted. Your family doesn't love you. 
My uncle tried to kill me... or was he even my uncle? Stefan... he... why is he back?  That jackass Chris has no sensitivity, and it hurts me for some reason. Why would I even expect shit from him:? A nobody! Ugh, my head hurts...

"Irene, open up! Listen I know what's happening to you, let me help you."
"IRENE!" And the door shuts open. I see Chris sliding inside the room on his knees, taking my head in his lap and slowly stroking my head.
"It's okay. I am here. I will always stay. Calm down. Breathe."
The floor seems to be vibrating, or maybe I am shivering? Gosh... my body seems like it's on fire. My vision... it's blurry.
"Irene, look at me." I shut my eyes tightly. Am I causing this?
"IRENE!" Chris jerks my shoulder and I snap into the reality. For a second I couldn't comprehend what happened. But as his lips started touched mine, I sank in the feeling of what I guess was... serenity! Our lips were dancing on one rhythm, just like two lovers dance beneath the moonlit sky. I could feel the warmth, the longing... the passion. He didn't want to leave me and neither did I want him to. His hands were now on my back and mine were holding his hair. My body was on fire, and there was this strange excitement running in me. He was holding me as if I was all he wanted, and I couldn't help but melt in his warmth. My heart was about to explode, and then he broke the kiss and now all of a sudden, my lips felt lonesome and scarred. It craved his touch and my body wanted to be in his arms. WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME! He smiled as he stroked my cheek with his fingers. He kissed my forehead and I felt calm. 
The earth was no longer rattling, my vision was clear and there was a smile on my face. I felt peaceful and amazing. More than that, I felt alive... I felt at home!
"As you aren't shattering the earth, I am assuming you are no longer upset?" I chuckled and hit his chest. He held my hands and kissed them. 
"I am sorry for the-umm...that kiss... I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." 
"Strangely, I felt my heart at peace. And now it craves for your soothing touch again. "You didn't make me uncomfortable." I felt complete. 
He comes a little close to me... "You know that I can still hear your thoughts right?"
DAMN! "I think I should le-"
"Stay." I whisper before he could complete his sentence.
He smiles.

We hear a knock at the door.
"Umm, bro? We gotta talk." TY! 
"What is it ty?" I groan in frustration. Here comes the big brother attitude.
"I want to talk to you, Chris." 
"Sure man." And they walk out the door.
 
I rearrange the door, thinking about our kiss. My heart starts pounding in my chest and I unknowingly touch my lips. A smile crept upon my face as I retrace the feeling. 
"Ahem." FUCK! I get startled and jump on my place by the sudden voice. I turn around to find
Chris resting his head on the door-frame, standing in slanting manner. His black t-shirt perfectly traces his biceps and the cuts. Hot. I gaze at his face to see him smirking... I understand what that smirk stands for. "I wish his brain would be as sharp as his looks... Bloody Goat head." 
I see him squint his nose like a cute baby. Ohhh... so now he is a pig too. 
"HUH?"
"Haven't you read Shakespeare?" I say in a duh tone.

"No! What do you mean by goatish head?"

"Well, according to Shakespeare it means lustful person. But I called you goatish in a different sense, I meant that you are stupid." realisation dawns him and his mouth makes a cute 'oh' shape.
