party
going on outside. Liam wrapped his arms around me and pulled me
into his chest. I couldn’t stop thinking about the guy kissing me
in the kitchen. Before I knew what had happened, I’d started to
cry.
“ What’s
wrong , Angel?” he asked, looking at me
concerned.
“ That asshole
stole my first kiss!” I wailed. Liam burst out laughing and I felt even worse because of it. I can’t
believe he’s laughing at me! “It’s not funny, Liam! A girl’s first
kiss is important to her. Just because you’re some kind of super
slut who doesn’t care, and probably doesn’t remember his first
kiss, doesn’t mean that the little things aren’t important!” I said
angrily, slapping on his chest.
“ Angel , calm down. He didn’t steal
your first kiss,” he said sternly, looking right into my eyes
making me feel weightless with his stupid bottomless, blue,
man-whore eyes.
“ What are you
talking about? He did! He just kissed me and stole
it, ” I croaked, a tear falling from my
eye. He wiped it away with his thumb and shook his head.
“ Yeah , he did just kiss you, but
that wasn’t your first kiss. I had that a long time ago,” he
explained, with a half-smile that made his face look beautiful.
What the hell was he talking about? I’d never kissed him. I
frowned, thinking back, trying to remember. “Remember when I hurt
myself when I fell out of that tree in my front garden? I was
thirteen and my freaking leg hurt so badly, and you asked what you
could do to make the pain go away.” He closed his eyes and shook
his head at the memory, with a small smile playing at the corners
of his lips.
I
gasped . Oh my gosh, that’s right! He’d
asked me to kiss him and I did, well, twice actually. He said that
it was still hurting and asked me to kiss him again. Right after
that, Jake came out of the house and caught us; he punched Liam in
the face for it. Oh crap, Liam had my first kiss! I wasn’t sure how
to feel about that, it was actually nice at the time. He was being
really sweet that day; he was climbing the tree to get my ball that
got stuck up there. I guess, that was a good thing, at least if
Liam had my first kiss then it wasn’t stolen by some asshole when I
was drunk at a party.
I
s miled at him and he smiled back. “That
was my first kiss too, and I do remember it,” he said softly,
winking at me teasingly.
“ Well you’ve
had plenty more since then , and then
some,” I stated, meaning all of the girls that he had slept
with.
“ Yeah, but
that was still the first and the best,” he whispered, kissing the
top of my head and pulling his arms tighter around me, tucking my
head in the crook of his neck. We just laid there in silence; I
didn’t know what to say , so I just kept
quiet.
After a
little while I was still awake because of the noise coming from the party, it was only one o’clock so it
would probably go on for at least another hour. I rolled over to
see Liam watching me. “You can’t sleep though that either, huh?” he
asked, smiling.
I shook my
head . “Why don’t you go back out and make
the most of it. There’s no point in us both laying here awake.” I
pulled away from him so he could get out of the bed.
He shook his
head and pulled me back to his chest .
“I’m fine where I am.”
After about
half an hour , I raised my head and looked
at him, he was asleep and looked really peaceful and sweet, and not
to mention hot. I’d never really looked at him that way. I knew he
was gorgeous and had an awesome body, but it just never occurred to
me to look at him in that way. My eyes moved to his
chest. He really was incredible and had a perfect six pack. I
reached out one finger and traced the lines of his muscles on his
stomach, just wondering what they would feel like.
He
shivered . “I’m feeling a little
violated,” he stated, making me jump and pull my hand away
quickly.
I giggled
because I’d gotten caught. “Welcome to my world, you make me feel
like that all
