He kissed her.
The kiss went on and on.
" You taste as good as you look" he whispered against her mouth.And for a moment the world seemed to stop. Her heart forgot to beat. Her first reaction was to push him away, but the instant her hand pressed against his chest, all her good intentions fled.
At the sound of people clapping, Tasha lifted her head and staggered away from him. Gusty straightened but kept his hand on her shoulder until she seemed steady enough to stand alone. He looked at her but she turned away, fumbling with her dress awkwardly.
"I'm really sorry I made you cry Tash," Gusty said as he touched her cheek softly. He turned whispered to his friends and they left instantly with the bodyguards at their trail.
They sat down quietly. Each to his own thoughts. The silence was becoming unbearable, but nobody knew what to say.
"I still can't believe Gusty kissed you. Honestly, if I wasn't there, I wouldn't believe" Success said
"I just can't wrap my mind around it" Lily said pacing.
"Tasha say something " Nora said but Tasha just kept on removing her dress. They were done with the celebration and everyone has retired to their rooms.
"I think you guys have a connection" Success said smiling.
"Really" Tasha said rolling her eyes." The fact he kissed me doesn't change anything. Besides, he was doing it for his dad" she added.
"And how on earth do you know that?" Lily asked as she sat down on the bed.
"He told me. See, it doesn't change the fact that he's an arrogant, selfish and wicked bastard. I can't forget everything he has done like it never happened, just cause he kissed me. That's not how things are done" Tasha said as she stood up and walked to the bathroom. Nora and Success stood up sighing.
"Goodnight" Lily whispered as she closed the door behind Success and Nora. She looked at Tasha as she came out of the bathroom, laid on the bed, her eyes tightly shut. But she knew she wasn't sleeping.
"I think miles is in love with me" Lily said and Tasha opened her eyes instantly.
"Lily" she exclaimed sitting up. Lily laughed shaking her head.
"Of course not. I just wanted you to get out of this mood" Lily said chuckling. Tasha groaned loudly closing her eyes with her hands.
"But, he asked me out on a proper date" Lily said
"That annoying prick" Tasha said "what did you say to him. Did you accept?" She asked
"Of course, he was being so sweet, he couldn't stop staring at me. I knew it was my plan, but damn, I didn't know when I said yes" Lily said
"Wow, amazing" Tasha said surprised "I don't know who's worse between he and Gusty" Tasha added.
"Hey, if you don't want me to go. I won't " Lily said.
"Of course you have to go. He hasn't done you anything wrong except being an annoying being during the plane. But I'm sure he'll apologies later on. Unlike some people " Tasha said rolling her eyes.
"Damn, how I hate him" she muttered "what gave him the right to kiss me, does he think I'll moon over him like Sharon and her friends. Big mistake "She scoffed.
"Don't stress yourself. He isn't worth the stress" Lily said hugging her.
"Damn you Gust" Miles said using the nickname he made for Gusty.
"Yeah, damn you. YOU KISSED TASHA ADELE, your worst enemy" Bose said surprised as he slumped on the bed.
"Your nemesis " Zuba added
"But I can't lie she was really looking luscious " Munchy said as he smiled.
"She was really pretty " Zuba whistled.
"Can't you guys shut up. I wanna think" Gusty said as he left the room frustrated.
"What's wrong with him?" Miles asked.
"Don't know man. I don't know " Bose said nodding his head dramatically.
The next day, Tasha was alone in the room when Lily burst in.
"Damn" Tasha said holding her chest startled "you scared me"
"Guess what" Lily said as she sat on the bed
"I can't guess"
"Just guess. You're such a spoils sport" Lily said rolling her eyes.
"You know I'm bad at guessing"
"Nobody is good at guessing" Lily said sarcastically "just guess where I'm going"
"Swimming?" Tasha said after a minute.
"Yeah" Lily squealed.
"What's so amazing about swimming?" Tasha asked laughing.
"It's not amazing. What's amazing, or should I say surprising is who is taking me" Lily said
"Miles?" Tasha asked with a note of surprised in her voice.
"Yes"
"Are you happy?"
"I sure am. I mean, you know I love swimming" Lily said blinking her eyes dramatically and Tasha shook her head
"I thought we planned on spending today together. Since we have nothing to do or anywhere to go to" Tasha said sadly.
"Oh, baby. I'm really sorry. Fine, I'll cancel and we can spend today together" Lily said as she stood up.
"No. It's not necessary. We have other days to spend together. Just go enjoy your self" Tasha stopped her.
"You sure?" Lily asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Go have the fun of your life" Tasha said waving her hand.
"I promise to make it up to you Tasha. I promise " Lily said as she hugged her.
"Ok. Bye" Tasha said as she opened the door.
"Bye"
"Oh Tasha I promise to make it up to you" Tasha mimicked Lily's voice and laughed heartily. She closed the novel she was holding and left the room.
Gusty was strolling through the vining absent minded. He couldn't forget yesterday. It was imprinted in his mind, and it was becoming frustrating. Behind him, Zana and Rony followed him. He just couldn't forget her, just couldn't get her out of his mind, and he was tired.
He wasn't supposed to be thinking about her, she was his worst enemy, his family worst enemy, how on earth can he be thinking about how pretty she was yesterday. He was really shocked at himself, or should he say angry at himself for kissing her. He knew she'll be thinking she has a spot in his life, he scoffed bitterly.
He shouldn't have kissed her, damnit, he couldn't believe himself. He kissed TASHA ADELE.
Tasha strolled towards the pool, she could hear laughter and splashing of water. She sighed wistfully, she wished she could join them but she just can't swim. And was really scared of the water, afraid of drowning.
The pool was housed. It was like entering a big sitting room, but at the center was a big swimming pool.
She saw Sharon and her friends, in fact they were the only ones there.
"Where are you Lily" she murmured to herself.
"what the fuck is wrong with you?" Silver asked Sharon.
"Isn't it too much, what we're about to do?" Lucy asked.
"It isn't, she and her friends took our boyfriend's" Silver said angrily.
"They aren't our boyfriend yet" Mandy murmured and they turned and stared daggers at her.
"Fine" she surrenderd rolling her eyes.
Tasha noticed their eyes. If eyes could kill, she was toast already. She turned to go but they called her back.
"Hey Tasha wanna join us?" Sharon asked as they all came out if the water.
"Thanks. I can't swim" Tasha said as they walked towards her.
"Too bad" Sharon said and winked at silver who chuckled silently.
"I have to go now" Tasha said. As she turned to go, Sandy came in front of her stopping her. Tasha eyes widened in shock,
Lucy and silver dragged her to the pool.
Tasha screamed, but her scream was cut short as Sharon pushed her into the pool.
