(67): My Idiot

After being in my room for almost three hours, trying to catch up on all the work that I missed, I finally decide that I seriously need some food. I get up from my bed, put on my slippers before making my way to the kitchen.

I settle on a grilled cheese sandwich and a glass of orange juice as I sit down on the chair and munch happily.

When all my classes were over, I just spent time with the rest of the gang while waiting for Winnie to be out since she's the only who could drive me. Luckily no one asked me about Kyle because I'm pretty sure that was going to ruin my whole mood. We were chilling on our usual grass spot and just speaking about nothing in particular which I've come to really enjoy.

Even though I saw them only a few days ago, I still missed them. Avery and Nick are really attached by the hip. I don't want to stick my nose in their business but I'm really curious. Are they just friends or more? Kat and Nathan were lovey-dovey as usual and it was just nice, I guess.

Nathan's birthday is in a month and we were asking him what he wants to do, to which he just replied "Nothing". The guy is turning freaking 21 so we're not having it. After he was gone, we all concluded that a surprise birthday party is what he needs. Hopefully Kat won't tell him, because I know she has a hard time keeping this to herself. I can just imagine how fun it's going to be though.

I love distracting myself with thoughts.

I don't get to do that long enough because the door opens and in walks Kyle. He looks at me and I look at him but we don't say anything.

How awkward.

He runs a hand through his hair, drops his bag, before walking further into the house and in the kitchen. He grabs some bread, jelly and peanut butter before making himself a sandwich. I'm just watching him because I'm done with my food and have nothing else to do.

You could speak to him...

Hell no, conscience, he's the one avoiding me.

He walks and takes a seat on the chair next to me, still no word and it's driving me crazy.

I can't help but admire how his jaw clenches so sexily as he chews on the sandwich, and how he keeps on licking his lips to get the stickiness of the jelly off.

Stop! You're mad at him.

After what feels like forever, when he's done with his food, he turns the chair so he is looking at me, face tense.

"Chelsea-Anne" He simply says.

"Chambers" I reply, almost challengingly.

He smiles slightly but quickly wipes it off his face "How was your day?"

Seriously?

"Fine"

"Good"

Yeah, this is what we're not doing.

I cross my arms against my chest and give him a stern and unhappy look.

"What?" He asks.

"Why were you avoiding me today and yesterday?" I enquire bluntly.

"Cause I needed time to cool down"

I scoff "Cool down from what?"

"You know what" He retorts, his expression impatient. "I didn't want to be snapping at you cause you know how I get"

"Well you did" I challenge.

He drinks some water "I wasn't trying to"

I sigh instead "Do you wanna talk?"

"Yes" He replies.

"Okay... I kind of get why you were mad about the whole Jake thing but nothing was ever going to happen. We had lunch and spoke, just like I told you we would" I tell him.

"Okay" He trails, his face softening bit by bit and I smile internally "Uh, sorry that I just chose to avoid you instead of speaking things out"

"Okay..." I can see he wants to go on.

"Nicholas and I... we just went go-carting and played some video games. I didn't do anything... weird" He says assuringly.

Thank goodness.

"Okay" I utter.

"And I care about you... so much" He basically whispers; his expression soft and genuine.

He has no idea how much I needed to hear that. The smile on my face is impossible to hide at this point but I try to still.

"You scared me a bit" I utter honestly.

"I'm so sorry I made you doubt me and my feelings for you. That's never something you have to question, Chelsea-Anne, I promise you. I care; so freaking much too. I was just mad and being an idiot"

I smile widely "I accept your apology, Chambers. Just never say that again"

"You have my word"

"But you also need to tell me why you reacted like that, Kyle" I plea, my voice tiny because I don't want to upset him but at the same time I really need to know.

He sighs almost dreadfully, running a hand through his hair "I don't want to lose you, Chelsea-Anne, especially not to him. I already feel like I lost RJ to him- them- in a way so I got a bit scared... insecure? I don't know. When you mentioned him I just saw red and it was beyond my control for a long time"

Oh my gosh.

"You will never ever lose me because I also don't want to lose you" I assure defiantly "And you didn't lose Riley either. You and Jake are family; you guys have the same nephew. If there's one thing about him it's that family comes first so he- and me for that matter- would never try to jeopardize anything for you"

He breathes apologetically "I know, baby. I'm learning to understand people and their actions. I'm not good at it but I'm learning, okay"

"Good boy" I smile at him, understanding.

He also starts to smile and roll his eyes before his face turns serious "So you and my mom? What happened there?"

"Uh, I kind of just bumped into her at the restaurant and Winnie was busy so she offered me a ride" I reply.

"Did she say anything?"

I clear my throat awkwardly but decide that I have to tell him "Uhm yes actually" He raises a brow "She was just like telling me that you weren't exactly safe and she asked what I was doing with you. She said she didn't want to see me get hurt and pleaded for me to take care of you cause she felt like she failed" I finalize, biting my lip cause I'm not sure how he's going to react.

He runs a hand down his face sighing "I'm not surprised"

"You aren't?" I ask an octave higher.

"Yeah, she thinks any girl associated with our family will end up like her; trapped" He tells me.

I nod "Yeah, that's basically what she said"

"Do you?" He asks softly, gulping nervously.

I frown "Do I what?"

He looks so vulnerable "Feel trapped, I don't know. Like, did what she say scare you away a bit? You can tell me. I won't be mad"

"Of course not" I object immediately "Kyle, you're not like them. I would never feel... trapped or uncertain with you. I wouldn't be here if I did"

He smiles lightly "Promise?"

"I promise"

"Okay good"

"Uhm, does she know about Riley yet?" I ask cautiously.

"She will soon. RJ texted me that she was planning to meet up with her tomorrow" He tells me.

"Oh. Where is she staying?" I ask curiously.

He shrugs "Zach has some other flat so she's been staying there. Getting pretty comfortable too but she keeps complaining about missing her son and husband"

"I can imagine" I murmur.

"Yeah"

I then remember something. Something that I would like to keep to myself but can't for the life of me.

"Kyle" I call softly and he gives me an almost concerned look  "Uh, I don't mean to sound insensitive or anything, but do you think there's a chance that your mom knows what your dad did to us?"

He shakes his head after a while "She never knows anything. There's no way he'd risk her finding out because she would really leave him this time"

"But the debt?" I trail.

"Regardless. Part of the deal was that he wouldn't harm me. Mom was very clear about that part" He says.

"So you didn't tell her?"

He shakes his head "I don't like speaking about him. He'll just convince her to stay either way so there's no use"

"I'm sorry" I trail gloomy.

"Don't be" He assures "I won't let him get to us again. Plus I kind of have Zach now, I guess. He's alone"

I breathe "Okay"

"So..." He smiles and I can't help but dwell on how much I love his smile. He looks so damn perfect like that "We're good?"

"Mm, there's just one more thing" I tease.

He raises a brow, frowning slightly and I have to hold myself back from laughing "What?"

"You have to kiss me" I smile.

He smirks moving closer to my face "I do, don't I?" He whispers, voice low and so sexy.

Good god.

"Yes" I breathe, my eyes on his lips.

He smiles one more time before pressing them against mine and I internally do a happy dance. Damn, I'm surprised I don't combust cause I missed his lips so damn much.

The kiss is slow, as if he's savoring the way I taste and feel against him, and it makes my heart weak and so happy. I move my lips at the same pace as his, very much enjoying myself and the butterflies in my stomach. The kiss heats up after a while as he coaxes me into opening my mouth and his tongue touches mine. I moan slightly at the sensational contact as I tug at the back of his hair.

I'm getting kind of uncomfortable with the leaning over, so I stand without breaking the kiss as he slightly moves his head up. His hands grip my waist and he moves me much closer to him so that I'm in between his legs. I bite his bottom lip, causing him to grunt and me to smirk. We kiss feverishly for a few more minutes before I pull back, breathing loudly.

"Are we good now?" He asks, lips pink, hair messy, eyes dark and voice husky.

Damn...

I nod smiling "Very good"

"Okay..."

"You taste like peanut butter" I smile, licking my lips.

He raises an amused brow "Yeah?"

"I've never liked it but I like it on you" I admit sheepishly.

"You're too cute, baby" He smiles widely as he kisses me one more time "I'm starting to think you like my lips more than me though" He complains, feigning sadness.

I laugh, playing with his hair "I may or may not"

"I knew it" He tseks, hands on my waist and squeezing there slightly causing me to close my eyes because his hands on me are like magic "I care"

I grin, pecking him quickly "I care too"

"I couldn't sleep last night" He says.

I open my eyes "Why not?"

"You weren't there. I think I've gotten used to being used as a pillow and a blanket. It kind of sucked not being"

I laugh happily "Aww. I couldn't sleep either"

"Good" He winks boyishly.

"What time did you come back? I didn't hear you at all" I ask.

"Maybe around 1 am" He replies.

I shake my head tutting "I don't know how you do that when you have school the next day. Can't say I'm impressed, Chambers"

"It's college life" He chuckles.

"Not my college life" I argue "Speaking of... I need to go finish my catching up"

"Can I watch you?" He grins and I laugh thinking he's joking, but he doesn't laugh and instead offers me a scowl.

"Wait, you're serious?" I ask amused and he nods "Don't you have your own work?"

"No"

I raise a brow not believing him "You're lying"

"Okay, we'll do our work together" He bargains kissing my chin.

"You're gonna distract me" I complain.

"I promise I won't" He assures pouting and I can't help but believe him. Who could resist that cute face?

I sigh "Fine. We'll do it here. Let me go get my books"

I'm about to detangle from him but he holds me by the wrist before I can move.

"Wha-"

He shuts me up by pressing his lips to mine and I find myself responding immediately. We kiss for a few seconds and I don't let it get too heated as I pull back.

He smiles boyishly "Okay... now I won't distract you"

"Idiot" I shake my head grinning as I walk to my room to get my books.

My idiot.

***

"Did you speak to Nathan yet?" I ask watching a soccer match while laying on Kyle's bed and waiting for him to join me.

"Not yet, but tomorrow"

He's busy putting on his sleeping hoodie. I wish he would sleep shirtless though but I know it's winter and I don't want him to freeze to death just to satisfy my eye candy cravings.

Sigh.

After completing our school work for the day, I just made some pasta while he was taking another shower (the guy likes being clean). We ate, cleaned up and watched a movie on the lounge tv. I missed him so much. We got tired then decided to get ready for bed. I'm sleeping with him again so I'm happy.

I'm too distracted with the match that I don't see him get on the bed until his arms are around me and he's pecking my neck with his soft and warm lips, causing me to giggle.

"You like soccer?" He asks, eyes now on the tv.

I nod excitedly "Yep, it's very entertaining"

"Really?" He gives me a skeptical look "And what's your team?"

"Liverpool" I grin with pride.

He pretends to gag, scrunching his face up "Ew, gross. You know they suck, right? I'm very disappointed"

"Suck?" I argue exasperated "They're the champions of Europe, dumbass"

He laughs, looking amused at my clear passion for my team "They still suck, babe. My team is Manchester City"

I gape unhappy and very betrayed as I shove him away from me, acting like he's a walking plague and he just laughs "I hate your team. Get away from me"

"Why? Cause we always beat y'all?" He tuts.

I scoff "You wish. I don't see you guys being the champions of Europe"

He laughs, throwing his head back before kissing my cheek "See, baby? How could I ever get bored of you?" And wraps his arms around me and I blush happily.

Awwwww!

"You acting all cute doesn't change the fact that you have poor taste in teams" I giggle, pulling him closer to me.

"I feel pretty cute though" He smirks.

I smile, kissing his beard and weirdly enjoying the rough texture against my lips "Yeah, you are" I coo like he's my little baby.

"Babe, I know you like the stubble but I seriously need to shave. It's scratchy and a tad bit uncomfortable" He tells me as I lay on his chest and look up at him.

Nooooooooooo!

I pout, running my hand on his chin and massaging it "But why?"

"I just told you" He deadpans.

I huff frowning "Okay... but can I be the one who shaves you?"

"Sure, just don't cut me" He laughs.

I snort rolling my eyes "I wouldn't dream of it, sweetheart"

"Sweetheart?" He raises a brow amused.

I shrug against him "It felt like the right thing to say in the moment" I excuse laughing and he also starts to laugh too.

"Okay... uh, do you want come with me tomorrow?" He asks and I look at him confused before he continues "I'm going to Zach's. He's borrowing me a car temporarily and I have to go pick it up"

"Sure" I murmur.

He bores his eyes into mine "Are you sure? I know Zach hasn't exactly been your favorite person and I don't want you to see him if you're not ready"

"It's fine. I don't mind. I guess now that I know he wasn't behind the 'accident' it makes things slightly better" I tell him.

He kisses my forehead "Okay, sweetheart"

I laugh shaking my head "Oh, so it's okay when you say it but it's not when I do?"

"I'm not used to pet names from you"

"It feels weird" I admit laying my leg on top of his under the blankets.

"I don't mind really. I like it when you call me 'Chambers' or just 'Kyle'. You make it sound sexy. Especially my surname" He purrs offering me crooked smile.

"Oh my gosh" I cover my mouth laughing loudly "That's absurd"

He shrugs amused "Its the truth"

"Okay, Chambers" I grin winking.

He groans, acting tortured and I just laugh at him "My absolute weakness"

"You're so weird" I muse.

"Mhmm, you should probably give me a kiss. I think that will cure me" He smirks.

Idiot.

I laugh one more time before moving closer to his face and laying my lips on top of his. I sigh contently against them. I love kissing him and being kissed by him. His lips are just so perfect and he knows exactly how to use them to make me feel all kind of things.

My hands are on his face, enjoying the stubble one more time, and his are on my waist under the blankets and trailing there. The kiss is soft and gentle and I'm serious enjoying myself. I don't want to get too carried away though cause we seriously need to get some sleep so I pull away.

"Who said I was done?" He growls, eyes still closed and hands still tightly on my waist, holding me to him.

I blush pecking him quickly "Me. We need to sleep, you rabbit"

"One more kiss" He whines.

"Kyle" I giggle complaining "You're know we're gonna get carried away. We didn't sleep last night, remember?"

He opens his grey eyes and I can't help but admire how beautiful they are.

"Baby..." He persists.

I sigh, not being able to resist even if I tried my hardest "Oh fine" Before pressing my lips to his one more time. The kiss lasts longer this time, his hands trailing on my waist and hips, causing me to whimper against him.

He finally pulls back grinning.

"I like kissing you" He says raspily.

I blush, my fingers on his upper lip "I like kissing you too"

"I know" He smirks winking.

I roll my eyes with a scowl "You're not cute, mister"

"I'm kidding" He laughs stroking my hair before his face turns serious "I like you a lot, you know? I like our little pillow talks; love them. I like that your voice is the last thing I hear before falling asleep and your gorgeous face and eyes are the last thing I see. I absolutely love that your lips are the last thing I feel, your hands too. Don't even get me started on waking up to all of them"

Oh my gosh.

"Kylie..." I whisper, my eyes blurring with unshed tears "You're so perfect. What the hell?! I like all that too; love it" I sniff.

Love yo-

He smiles, his thumb catching my tears "Yeah?"

I nod "Yes. I like you so much. Too much"

"Good" He says before softly kissing me, like I'm the most fragile little thing and my hurt bursts even more.

Why is he so perfect?!

"Okay, let's sleep" He trails, wiping my face gently to take away any signs of crying as he pushes my hair back too.

I smile happily, watching him "Your hands are so soft. What lotion do you use?"

"Baby, sleep" He scolds.

I grumble, sticking my tongue out at him and he bites it softly causing me to yelp to which he just laughs before winking at me.

"I don't like you" I muffle collapsing on his chest and wrapping my arms around him, as I play with his hoodie.

He kisses my hair "I like you"

He's so cute.

"Sleep" I say instead, still acting mad.

I hear him chuckle above me, his chest vibrating "Okay baby, good night. Dream about me, yes?"

"I will" I murmur my eyes feeling heavy.

"Okay"

My eyes close "Night, Chambers. You're so cute and I like you a lot" I find myself saying.

I don't get to hear his response as I fall asleep happily, a smile on my face.

I really really really like him.
