I was admiring his features in the frame. The way his lips are stretched into a smile that doesn't reach his eye. To anybody else, it would seem like he was happy, but I can see he was faking. Suddenly, I felt his hands wrapped around my waist. His nose on the curve of my neck.
"What are you thinking right now?" he asked sucking the skin just below my ear.
"You look kinda sad in this picture," I said truthfully.
He turned me around roughly and kissed me, pulling my hair tightly, and biting my lower lip to the point that I am sure it would bleed. And then he stopped.
But I wanted more. I wanted more of him, not him, more of his body. He was really good.
He was looking in my eyes. I stared back.
"You are beautiful"
" You know you can already do whatever you want to me. You don't need to give me fake compliments."
"I know I can do whatever, whenever, wherever I want to you," he said huskily in my ear and bit slowly just below my ear.
"So that means I don't need to lie," he said.
This bought back many memories that I needed to forget. The only reason I agreed to this. I tried pushing it away looking at him seductively and biting my lips. I could see he wanted me too, but he stepped back and sat on his bed.
"Whatever," I said shrugging.
"Maybe we could do something else," he said slowly.
"Like what?" I asked bored. We have literally nothing in common.
"Tell me something about yourself"
"Why?" I asked him. This wasn't the part of the game.
"Because I want you to," he said simply.
"Where's the fun in that" I turned my back to him. Breathing deeply to calm myself.
"I know you don't want to, so it's fun for me," he said shrugging.
I took my bag from the couch to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Home"
"Why"
"You have to spend time with the other girls as well. I don't want them to think I have been hogging up all your time"
With that, I walked out before I gave in my urge to punch his face.
