Chapter 5

• LUCA
• I'm walking down the beach beside Lily. My thoughts are clouded and faraway but are quickly interrupted by a pair of high-pitched female voices. We both look up simultaneously to find two girls standing Infront of us.
• One of the girls is taller with brown hair, thick lashes and plump lips. She's wearing a purple bikini that clings to her curves. She's fuckable... okay, why am I noticing her? The shorter girl has black hair, she's wearing a pink bikini, she's not as hot as the first but on a bad day I think she could compliment the other chick.
• "Luca baby, where have you been?" The appealing one smiles sheepishly.
• "We've missed you." The other one says in a very flirty tone.
• I don't recognize them and I think they sense my confusion because they start explaining themselves.
• I only use bitches once, I never repeat. Twice, then it's a mistake and Jade...Madison or whatever they said their names are, are mistakes I made one Friday night when I was too drunk and wasted. And I'm feeling like me fucking them twice have given them some feeling of entitlement, I have to clear that shitty misconception.
• I sense Lily tense beside me. "I'm with someone." I tell them dismissively.
• "Who?" The shorter and not so appealing one rudely asks and looks around as if Lily is too small to be seen or too unimportant to be noticed.
• The hotter one squeeze her face in disgust. "A different chick from last night one stand?"
• The disgust disappears from her features and she smiles again, I barely look at. She steps closer to me calmly placing her hands on my chest. "No need to get angry mr sexy." She bits her lips. The other one shoves her aside and stands infront me. "Will you attend the wild party tonight?"
• I don't even think before answering. "I'm already preoccupied." I don't miss the grimace on her face.
• "Preoccupied you say?" Not willing to take an easy rejection, the girl moves closer still until our bodies are touching. "There's gonna be lots of alcohol, girls and..." She leans forward while bending slightly until her full cleveage is on display. Her boobs are literally falling off her bikini bra and literally begging to be sucked. She brushes a light touch on the waistband of my shorts. "...and rough fucking." She bit her lips in a suggestive manner.
• "No. I'd rather stay home and wash my hair than fuck you the third time at a party, you bored me to death the last time, Chole."
• She angrily step back and glare at me for a long time. "It's Madison." She yells before walking out. Her friend following her behind using her shoulder to hit Lily while walking out.
• I turn to look at Lily, while holding her face in my hands. "Are you okay?" Why do I care?
• I don't care!
• She don't look at me. "I'm fine."
• "Are you sure?" What the hell? Why in fucks name am I asking her if she's okay.
• She snaps. "They don't disturb me at all. I said I'm fine." She walk towards the ocean.
• I don't know what I did wrong but I'm sure as hell not going to apologize.
• Lily takes off her kimono robe and place it on a nearby chair. She's just perfect. She's watching me while I undo the buttons of my shirt. I arrange my shirt and towel together with her robe. The wind blows my hair. I follow her gaze from my muscular arms to my chest and down to the v shaped abs that's lost in my shorts. I'm pretty ripped. "Say it!"
• "What?"
• I pull her towards me. "Say it. You know I'm hot."
• "Hot? Like sweaty hot mess." She's smiling at me. She tires to free herself from my grasp but I hold her tighter resting my arms on her waist while her hands are wrapped around my waist. "Well if I didn't know you I'd say you're handsome. But hot? Now that's a little over the top." I know she's lying I see the way her eyes twitch. "Let me go."
• "No." I press her harder against my chest hearing the way her breath hitches up, my chest burns from the way her body is pressed against me, I should let her go before I get burned but I won't. I want the pain. "Not until you admit the universal truth that I'm super hot."
• "Really." Amusement dance across her features. "And what if I don't. What will you do?" Now, that sounds like a challenge.
• "If you don't. I will kiss you." I don't know how that's supposed to be a threat. But the way she reacts, the way she tenses in my arms. I know the truth, she's attracted to me.
• And oh shit, she shouldn't be.
• I lower my head and suck on her neck, I lift my hands to trace her perfect cupid shaped lips. I whisper slowly...too slowly against her neck while I blow hot breath against it. "The way you react to my kiss is going to prove that I'm not only hot but that you're also attracted to me."
• Her voice is shaky. "Well...what makes you think I-I will...be scared of...of kissing you." She takes in a deep breath and when she resume speaking her voice is relaxed. "Today is tomorrow, and we planned on having my first kiss tonight. So how about we have it?"
• "You have three counts and then you will feel the wrath of my lips." I warn her quietly. I raise my hands over her head and start counting. "One." I press my lips on her forehead. "Two." I lower my lips to the bridge of her nose. "Three." I lower my lips, our lips are just a kiss apart. We breath in each other. And out of nowhere Lily phone starts ringing. I want to ignore it but the ringing grows persistent.
• "I will take it." Lily moves away from me and back to the beach chair to answer her call. I paced impatiently waiting for her forever call to end when I glance at her she's comfortably sitting on the lounger and smiling to herself while on call with who? I stare at her in shock and she signals me to go on and swim without her.
• Why does it bother me that a stupid phone call just ruin the moment. She's nothing to me, I try to remind myself. There's nothing between us, she's just my seventeen year old - soon to be eighteen years old - nextdoor neighbor. Smith's daughter. The girl that wants the-knight-in-shining-armour-guy while I crave to do dark things, to hurt and cause pain to all the women I bed. We are so unlike. She's nothing to be.
• I begrudgingly enter the ocean.
• After ending the call, she joins me in the ocean and we swim together until we are too exhausted to continue. We dry ourselves with different towels and rest on the lounger, it's large, but not large enough to contain two big people, were not big so we squeeze ourselves together laying side by side on the only empty sun lounger. It's torture laying beside her warm, sea soaked skin, I bet it'd be so salty from all the swimming...
• I push those thoughts aside. "Who called you earlier?"
• "Tiffany. We haven't seen each other since I returned home, she is at my house, so she called to know where I am. I told her I'm out with you, and she said to come around another day. Will you take me to the wild party?"
• Where did that come from? "No. You're too young."
• "Girls my age attend, why can't I attend?"
• "That's different."
• "How so?"
• "You're different... you're just you. Lily. You're not like other girls."
• "What do you mean by 'just you Lily'?" Her voice has changed and I can tell she's mad. She tries to stand up but I press her hips firmly against the lounger, I don't let her move. When Lily gets mad, don't let her stand up, because trust me you really don't want to feel her wrath.
• "I mean you're different. Good different you're not like other girls who care about vain, shallow things. You read books, you want to be a street dancer, you're different.." I don't know what I'm saying.
• She's smiling now. "So...you will take me to the party then?"
• "No. It's too dangerous. There will be a lot of indecent activities."
• "Drinking alcohol?" She says it as if it is too pathetic to label drinking alcohol an indecent act.
• "Even worse..."
• "Fucking? Isn't that like having sex." I hear her say. "I've had sex."
• I've had sex. "You've what?" I choke.
• She rolls her eyes. "Don't be so dramatic. I said I've heard of sex. I don't live in a rock okay? I know sex is happening, there's porn on the internet, smut novels in the library. So, you will take me right? It's not like I'm going to see anything I haven't read before."
• "Fine."
• "Yeah!"
