Fond of Erato Chapter 18

I shouted and immediately turned away so that I could leave in front of him. Beside the fact that my cheeks are heating up and tears are starting to blur my eyes. Fvck alcohol.

"I am not yet done with you."

His force was strong and I had no resistance as he pulled me back in front of him again.

In great frustration I slapped him with my clutch on him which he also immediately backed up and took in my hands. I did nothing as I stared at him throwing my clutch inside his car.

"And don't you ever raise you voice at me."

He uttered and his cars door banged in unison. I went back again. His eyebrows are in flat line. His eyes grew darker but I didn't move.

"What? And now you're taking my freedom of speech? I can shout whenever I want to!"

I go back to him. I am not satisfied yet.

"Everyone! I am a disgrace in my family!"

I shouted again and again. I don't even know if someone's out there can hear my craziness. My concern now is how to piss this man more.

"Hello! Jade is a dis-"

"You're one hell of a brat. Shut your mouth."

I smirked and crossed my arms. I crossed our little space and looked up at him.

"You can party whenever you want while I can't? You can bed whoever you want and I can't? You know what you are, Erato? You're one hell of a hypocrite, Asterial."

My eyes backfired. Smoke almost came out of his nose because of what I said.

I hate it, I don't know what's gotten into me. Is this about the alcohol? Or is it because or our last conversation? The way he belittled me because of my age and knowing how he made out with that short haired girl in the girls locker room? I do not know.

As long as I want to vent all my anger now because I seem to have no pride to present to him knowing that he knows how head over heels I am with him.

"I can talk to anyone, and I can do whatever I want! I just like you Erato and you have no right to tell me things I should do and not do!"

His eyes went down to my face. I know and I feel that it will be a little bit too early and I will be sent to my driver.

"Why do you care if I date anyone? If I make out with anyone huh? Does that even concerns you? Do you think too highly of yourself and feel like you're the only one who can do that? Bullshit!"

All I heard before my soul got out in my body was his loud breathing.

I was literally tongue tied when I felt his lips on mine. It wasn't what I've expected it to be.

I dreamed about this before, God knows how much I thought about his lips on mine and how much I've asked myself how will it be. It was not what I've imagined it to be.

His kiss was not like the movie stars, nor the perfect scene to play some melody. His lips are pressed so hard that I can't even fathom what I'm feeling. His palm is cupping my jaw while his other hand is on my behind. His taste was out of my imagination.

Just the familiar scent of liquor, plus the mint and sweet taste was enough to make my head spin and my eyes shut. My knees trembled and if he's not holding me for sure I've broke down already. I can’t put into words what feeling he gives.

All I know is that his frustration and all that he's been up to is being poured into me. A loud banging of someone's car door made us separate.

My breathing was fast but he also seemed shocked at what he did, his eyes are still on me and all I can see is his wet red plumped lips. He let go of me and grabbed a handful of his hair before leaning both of his arms in his car.

"Bullshit." I heard him whisper in frustration.

I faced the other way just so our eyes wouldn't meet. I held my chest feeling my heart beat. It almost came out just to prove how fvcked up this moment is.

We were both silent as we waited for the car to finally leave ruining what we had been doing before.

___

"Dios Mio." 

Daddy who seemed so relieved to see me.

He's with Jax in the living room and it seems like they are seriously talking about something which made me wonder because it's basically midnight.

"Why are you not answering my calls, Jade? Are you for real?"

I stayed silent while my older brother's voice is raised. I approached dad first to embrace him. He kissed me on the top of my head before I faced him. I'm still a bit confused about what's going on but I just kept up because my first concern was that I might be grounded again.

"My phone's in silent."

"Yeah, shit? But you managed to reply to Olivia?"

I pursed my lips and avoided their eyes.

"It's a good thing Erato was there in Neon, what if we couldn't find you all night?"

Now that I've heard his name again, then I just realized that he was here who drive me home. I don't know what's worse. May it be the fact that I have to deal with our awkwardness in the car or the kiss that we did on the parking. Well, I ...

"Thank you, hijo. I'm sorry and I really can't afford to spend the night thinking my daughter is outside."

I stepped back to face him.

I stood behind daddy and there I began to glance at him. When I saw his cold and angry eyes looking at me I immediately avoided it.
