Chapter 27 - Wine Confessions

"Don't change the subject." I say sternly. "You didn't call me."

"I know, I got busy." He replies, the amusement gone from his voice.

Busy? That's his excuse?

I get up slowly off the ground, careful to not fall over or drop the phone, and walk over to the living room.

"Emily?" He says when I don't reply.

"What?" I snap at him as I lay down on the couch.

"What did you drink tonight?" He asks, changing the topic.

I let him, my anger dissolving as the wine takes over my mind. I guess that's the best excuse I'm going to get tonight from him.

"Wine. Lots of wine." I sing in a quirky tune and he laughs. I like his laugh. It's cute... like him.

Or maybe that's the wine thinking.

"Where are you?" He asks, his voice fully awake now.

"My living room. Friends were over." I say as I stare at the empty bottles on the table.

"Are they still there?" His voice gets deeper, huskier. I like it.

"Just left." I reply quickly, knowing what he is really asking.

"I'll be there in 15 minutes." He states, not asking.

I hang up without responding and open a game on my phone to pass the time.

After what felt like an hour but was really only 15 minutes like he said, the doorbell finally rings.

I get up, my head dizzy from standing too quickly. I walk over and open the door, revealing my handsome moody boy in black jeans and a t-shirt, as always. Does he have any other clothes?

His dark hungry eyes roam over my body and back up to my face. It would probably usually make me insecure but right now it just increases my drunken confidence.

I open the door wider and he steps inside, shutting it behind him. His eyes stay connected with mine as he kicks off his shoes and steps closer to me. I take a step back each time he gets closer, teasing him with a smirk.

Wait, I had things I want to say to him. Focus, Em.

"You're annoying." I blurt out and he chuckles, still walking towards me, as I back up towards the bottom of the staircase. "And moody." I add before he can touch me and inevitably I lose my ability to speak. He smirks at me. That's not the reaction I wanted.

"You're drunk." He says, getting a little closer as my steps backwards get shorter. He licks his lips as his eyes rake over my body again. My mouth gets dry as I stare at his beautiful lips.

"You're hot." I reply without thinking and then cover my mouth. Why would I say that?!

His eyes get darker as he reaches me and pulls me by my waist against him. "You're hot." He says back, staring into my eyes.

I lean in closer to his face, my mouth hovering a few inches from his. The corners of his lips turn up, smirking at me, as his eyes dart between my eyes and lips. His grip tightens around my hips and I move my hands under his shirt, along his lower back.

He moves his right hand up against my cheek, pulling my face closer to meet his lips. I return his kiss, deepening it as I pull him towards me, so there is no space left between us.

He breaks our kiss suddenly, but keeps his forehead against mine. I open my eyes to meet his gaze full of lust, both of us panting.

"I want you." He breathes against my lips, making my core tighten immediately.

I smile and press my lips to his in response. He takes my hint and picks me up by my waist without breaking our kiss. I wrap my legs around him as he climbs the stairs quickly to my room.

This time, all my thoughts are on him and only him.

I'm really excited to share the next few chapters so updates might be coming sooner than usual! I'm not very patient lol

Please remember to vote, vote, vote! It does make a difference for story ratings and chances that 抖阴社区 will recommend it to other readers!

Hope you liked this chapter and I hope it wasn't too goofy. It's hard to write form a drunk mind perspective! But I think this was a fun way for them to move on from their latest issues... or at least stuff them down and ignore them long enough to have sex ;)
