CHAPTER 31
CHLOE'S POV
I immediately detached myself from him and hid behind him. The footsteps were getting louder and louder but came to a halt.
"I told you no one's here", Matt spoke and Jess chuckled.
"Let's go check the pool area", Jess said and they left.
"Whew!", I breathed out and Keith turned around to face me with a mischievous smirk.
"You have got to be kidding me", I facepalmed myself.
" I was just kidding. But I would love a kiss though", he chuckled, his voice deeper than usual.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and jumped so I could wrap my legs around his torso and he caught me by my ass.
" You're so cute", I blurted.
" Thanks", he leaned in but I turned my head and he kissed my cheek.
" I didn't say you could kiss me"
" That's not fair "
" Okay"
" You owe me a kiss"
" No, I don't "
" Yes, you do. And I'm gonna steal it when you least expect it "
" You can't be serious"
" I'm dead serious"
" You're impossible"
" No, I'm not"
" Yes, you are"
" No, I'm not"
" Fine, whatever makes you sleep better at night"
"I'll sleep better with you right next me"
" Cocky much?"
" Shhhh", he shushed me and then we heard footsteps.
" They might be here", Matt groaned.
" I told you, they might be in the garage", Jess countered.
" Let's just check first", Matt insisted and they started checking round the cinema but because of the darkness behind the door, they didn't and couldn't spot us.
Keith decided to act naughty and started planting wet kisses down my neck. He also started stroking my bare waist cos I was wearing a cropped shirt.
I wonder why I didn't get off him!!!!
Maybe because I didn't want to?!
Whatever
His free hand slipped under my shirt and cupped my boob. I bit my lower lip to suppress a moan.
He left my boob and connected our lips, kissing me with desire and passion. I was so lost in the kiss that I almost ratted us out.
"Let's check the garage", Matt said clearly disappointed.
"Told you", Jess snickered and they left.
Keith and I parted and he smiled.
"I never knew you could be this quiet", he teased.
"Why'd you do that?", I smacked his head and got off him.
"To see if you would....."
"Save it", I left him and went to the living room.
"Why'd you leave?", he said behind me.
I didn't reply, I just looked around and hid behind a couch. I'm sure Matt and Jess are on their way here.
"Are you mad at me?"
No response
"Do I need to apologize?"
"....."
"C'mon"
"...."
============================
THURSDAY
I am clad in a spaghetti strap halter top with draped neck and dark blue skinny jeans. I was searching for my sneakers cos we were going to the cinema. I finally spotted it and slipped it on.
I let my hair down and did my usual light make-up.
I got out the door and saw Keith standing in front of me.
"Hi"
"....."
"Are you still mad?"
"...."
"Please, talk to me. The silence is killing me", he said, his voice laced with hurt.
I just stared at him blankly and tried to walk away when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back gently but I collided with his chest.
" I'm sorry, it won't happen again", he hugged me, and I tried so hard to keep myself from smiling.
" You can let go now"
" So, you're not mad at me anymore?"
" Yeah"
" Thanks"
" I see you're ready for the cinema?"
" Yeah, I am", he was wearing a black tee, black jeans pants and a black leather jacket.
" You're giving off bad boy vibes"
" I'll try to put in more effort to scare off guys that try to hit on you. But you look cute though"
" Thanks"
" But I think you should change"
" Why?"
" Because it's too.....how do I put this.....seductive...."
" And that's how I like it", I patted his chest and head downstairs.
" Wait up"
We went downstairs and met Jess and Matt ready to go.
" Let's go then", Matt said and we exited the house.
It's 4:06 and we were going to see Captain America: Brand New Day.
Actually, the movie starts by 5 but we want good seats and the best popcorn.
============================
" The movie was amazing....", I said, still living the moment.
" I know right. I wish such technology was actually real", Keith concurred.
" Me too. I wanna be an Avenger", Matt said as he slung an arm over Jess shoulder.
" You're so childish"
We were walking to the parking lot but it was a few meters away.
Why didn't the people just make it closer????!!!!
It was already 6:13 and the evening breeze was no longer gentle. I tried rubbing my shoulders repeated to generate heat but it wasn't working.
" Here", Keith took of his jacket and put it around me and I wore it, inhaling his scent: vanilla and chocolate.
" Are you sniffing my jacket?", he whispered only to my hearing.
My cheeks burned.
" No...I was just trying to.....wear it properly"
" Yeah, by bringing it closer to your nose"
" Just stop it"
His jacket looked more like a big hoodie on me. I am really small.
" It does look good on you, though"
"Thanks"
"Ok, everyone get in, we are going to a pizza place, Jess can't cook dinner today", Matt announced.
============================
We arrived at DE PIZZA PLACE a few minutes later and took a booth.
Matt sat facing Jess and Keith sat facing me. Matt waved to a waiter and he came in our direction. It was none other than....the cute pizza guy from last time.
"Hi, what can I get you ladies and gents?", he said and my eyes darted to his name tag.
Greg, huh?
"Hey, Greg, do you remember me?", I chirped, earning stares from Matt, Jess and Keith.
"Oh, it's you", his cheeks reddened.
"Chloe"
"Nice to see you again. What can I get you this time?"
"I think I speak for all of us when I say, we would like an extra large cheese, pepperoni, and chicken pizza", I said and they nodded.
"Okay, I'll be right back", he went to get the order.
"And how did you two meet?", I felt Jess' questioning gaze on me when she asked.
"He delivered pizza for me a few days ago", I sighed dreamily as I recalled what happened after he left.
"And here is your extra large cheese, pepperoni and chicken pizza", he dropped it on the table.
" And Chloe?"
" Yeah"
" The offer still stands", he winked at me while Keith shot him a murderous glare.
" I'll think about it", I smiled politely and he left.
" What offer is he talking about?", Matt asked this time.
" He wants us to hang out", I replied with a shrug and took a slice of pizza.
We all started eating but Keith wasn't happy at all.
What have I done???
