Chapter 31


    I was talking to my mom who was telling me about their trip. The door closed and I turned to see Kel


    entering the house. He looked bad, bad would not even describe how he looked. I had a suspicion of


    what happened.


    "So you went over to his ce to beat him up?" I asked confirming my thoughts.


    I don''t get why he would do that, I don''t know if he was starting to care or he was feeling guilty.


    "Why did you do it?" I asked sitting him down.


    "You know why," he replied shrugging


    "I don''t," I said ying dumb.


    "He did things to you, I can''t let him get away with that and the fact that I believed him also thinking he


    was my best friend so yes we fought because of you. Nobody touches my woman and gets away with


    it. And I haven''t even touched you so you get my frustration." he jokingly said but I know he meant it.


    He called me his woman and he fought his best friend because of what he tried doing to me, he could


    very much have just talked to him or threatened him but he did this and if he looked like this what of


    Carlos? I don''t get why he''d do that? I didn''t know what to think of him. He was confusing metely,


    slowly breaking down the walls I had built up.


    "Are you mad at me? " he slowly asked watching me. Mad? No. Proud, maybe.


    "No. It''s just... " What was I gonna say? Why would you do that for me? I don''t get it.


    "Hey, are you alright?" he asked pulling me to sit on hisp.


    "You''re confusing me. Why would you do that? You don''t even like me, why would you even get beaten


    up to this extent."


    Kel just chuckled and put his hands around me. "I like you Shayan, I''d get beaten up to any extent or


    beat up anyone for you. You''re my woman, no one gets to mess with you," he said softly tucking a


    strand of hair behind my ear. He likes doing that a lot and looking at me intently like that wasn''t helping.


    My inside was churning. He was awakening burning desires with the speed of lightning.


    What do I say to that? Does he really like me? Should I thank him?


    "You didn''t have to do anything," I said instead.


    "I wouldn''t have been okay with myself if I didn''t do anything," he confessed and the way he said it, I


    looked at him like he wasn''t the same man I know. Who knows if Carlos did something to him.


    "So it''s not obvious that I like you?" he asked.


    "Not at all," I replied, I never would have guessed. Well... He was changing these past few weeks


    though.


    "I''d correct that," he said leaning in. Was he going to kiss me? Do I want him to?


    Kel threw his head back andughed, why''s heughing now? I felt a little bit hurt.


    "You should see your face West, you look between confused and horrified."


    Yeah, he still hasn''t said my name. I thought he was going to kiss me but heughed. I didn''t know


    whether to be mad or grateful for it.


    "Don''t worry, it won''t be far from now. You look like you don''t want me kissing you yet." I could detect

    seriousness admits the yfulness. So he probably thought I didn''t want him kissing me andughed


    instead to make it less awkward for him, it was kind of funny.


    "Do you have a first kit anywhere?" I asked not knowing what to say. At least I asked something


    reasonable.


    "In my room," he replied staring at me


    "Do you think you can manage walking upstairs so I can take a look at it or you''d prefer the hospital? " I


    asked.


    "No. You''re just fine," he answered and I nodded.


    I walked him to his room and it was the official time I''d be in his room just the both of us. I sat him on


    the bed and all the time he was watching me.


    "Where''s your kit?" I asked. "Bathroom, first drawer by the left," he replied


    I went into the bathroom and I just stood in awe. It was amazing he had a standard shower and


    bathtub. The bathroom was spacious. His scent filled the room. The masculine scent of his soap and


    shampoo filled my nostrils. I would dly sleep in his bathtub with his scent everywhere.


    "Did you see it?" he asked from the room.


    See what? Oh, I''m supposed to look for the first aid kit.


    "I haven''t seen it yet," I answered checking cupboards.


    "Do you want me toe help?" he asked and I said yes, for some reason I wanted him here.


    He came to the bathroom and walked to where I stood, standing behind me. He was too close.


    "It''s at the top here," he spoke getting it.


    "Would that be all?" he asked going down to my neck nibbling on it.


    "Hmm." it was meant to be a reply but it came out more as a moan.


    He moved my hair aside and continued. He pressed hot, moist kisses on my neck. He kissed the


    tender spot between my neck and shoulder de and I let out a low moan. Desire started burning


    within me. He went out to my earlobe and grazed it lightly with his teeth. I couldn''t exin the sensation


    he was creating in me. Gosh, it has been so long, I needed this.


    "I want to do a lot of things to you West ." he sounded so sexy it scared me.


    "I should get you cleaned up," I said stepping away from him.


    I needed to keep my emotions at bay, he could still y me then end things with me in less than five


    months and I don''t want to be an emotional wreck when this would be over.


    "You can''t keep denying the attraction." he started. "It won''t change anything." that was true but I could


    avoid it not to get hurt.


    "I don''t want to talk about this," I said and he turned me to face him.


    "Why? What are you scared of?"


    "You. I''m scared of falling for you. I don''t want to be another ything to you." I softly said.


    "Gosh, you''ve never been a ything to me, you''re not a ything to me. You''re more than that


    Shayan, a lot more." Did it just get hot in this ce or what?


    He sounded so sincere I wanted to believe him, his eyes were pleading me to. What could I possibly


    say to that? We were staring at each other now, me trying to read his expression. I know a part of me


    believes him and craves him but I''m torn between following my heart or head. And he said my name


    too, hearing him say that was just wow. I''ve always preferred him saying my name to any pet name, it


    just sounds sexier and I was happy that he called me by my name. I wanted to believe him but I don''t


    want a broken heart. How many years has it been since he said my name? How many years has it


    been since he broke my heart?


    "I want you Shayan, all of you that you''re willing to offer."


    "Kel..." I couldn''t evenplete my sentence because the next thing that happened was his mouth


    over mine clinging to it. His soft familiar lips pressed against mine and I felt fireworks erupt in the pit of


    my stomach, every desire I had once buried awakening.


    His lips moved slowly with mine with stressed slowness. It seemed as if it was taking immense self-


    control for him to keep the kiss slow.


    The slow tenderness of the kisssted for less than a minute until we both lost control. His tongue


    roughly mashed with mine and I let out a soft moan unwillingly as I wrapped my arms around his neck


    pulling him closer. His free hand that wasn''t cupping my cheeks moved to my waist. I matched each


    thrust of his tongue with mine the taste of him overwhelming me.


    I take my hands to his hair, my fingers getting lost in them and he let out a small growl. Oh how much


    I''ve missed this. After Kel, I couldn''t bring myself to be with another man in any way. It was just only


    him and he still has power over my body, soul and heart. His hands went down to my ass rubbing them


    and I let out a tiny moan. I wanted to explore his body and started touching his abs. It scared me how


    much I wanted him. There was so much passion into the kiss and if it wasn''t for the need to breathe we


    could do this all day.


    "I haven''t kissed anyone like that in years. It''s only you Shayan, the only woman I want," he said


    twirling my hair looking at me with so much adoration.


    "I haven''t either. It has just been you all my life." I admitted and he gave me a wide grin.


    "I like that and I also like kissing you," he admitted. "I like you a lot Shayan."


    Oh boy, what do I do? Do I like him? I think I do.


    "You don''t have to tell me you like me. I know I''m not on your list of good people and I''d work for it. I


    just want a chance with you." he pleaded.


    "I guess I could give you a chance." I slowly said and he grinned. "But just one, if anything happens it''s


    over." I threatened.


    "I wouldn''t let anything happen. Thank you," he said giving me a quick kiss on the lips.


    I hope I did the right thing. "Now let''s get you cleaned up, you''re a mess."


    "You didn''t think that when kissing me," he smirked and I rolled my eyes, hopefully, this was the start of


    something new.
