Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 45
Anxiety swirls in my stomach as I rocked back and
forth on my heels. I looked at the door trying to
gain enough courage to finally knock. I had been
standing there for about two minutes just gawking
at the wood.
Today was Saturday and I’ve been prolonging to
see, him. I sighed I should’ve come over sooner, it
was my fault that he was suspended. Finally
getting my nerves under control, I lift my hand to
knock.
My fist was an inch away when the door swung
open. Aunty Lily and uncle Asher appear before
me. They looked surprised to see me but smiled
nonetheless.
“Oh Rosalie, It’s been forever. What brings you
here?” Aunt Lily questions pulling me into a warm
hug. Call me weird but I always loved the scent of
her, she smelled like roses.
“You’ll suffocate the girl babe.” Uncle Asher jokes
prying aunt Lily away from me only to give me a
hug himself.
“Haven’t seen you around here for a while kiddo.”
He chuckles playfully ruffling my hair. They weren’t
related to me by blood but I considered them
family. They were my parents bestfriends.
I smile as we pull away from each other. “Sorry for
not coming to see y’all earlier, been busy with
cheer practice.” And it’s true, our captain has been
a raging bitch ever since her college boyfriend
dumped her. She’s been having us practice for
hours and by the time I got home, I would be lost
to dreamland.
I chewed on my bottom lip and force down my
nervousness. “I came to speak to Arden.” I stated.
They looked stunned at my declaration.
I wasn’t surprised at their shocked faces, everyone
knew Arden and I didn’t get along. It would be
absurd for us to even stay in the same room for
five minutes without hurling a plate or something
dangerous at eachother.
We were like water and oil, we never got along,
never mixed well. And he even became a huge
pain in the a*s since he was Liam’s best friend and
I could never get rid of him. He hated my guts and
I hated his. It was that simple.
Aunt Lily opens her mouth to speak but no words
come out. Looking embarra*sed she looks at her
husband for help who looks equally as shocked. He
shakes his head and clears his throat.
“Well we were actually on our way to have lunch
with my father but Arden’s upstairs in his room.”
He smiles.
My lips curved into a thankful smile then my brows
furrowed in confusion. “Where’s Ashley?” I voiced
out. I needed to speak to her too.
“She’s out with Blake and wouldn’t be home until
later tonight. So it’s only you and Arden. Please
don’t make us come back home to two dead
bodies.” It’s aunt Lily who responds.
I giggle and nod. I wish them a safe drive then a
few seconds later watch as the car disappears from
my sight. I sighed and close the door.
I walked up the stairs and noticed the picture
frames that hang on the cream colored walls. I
smile when a photo of a young Arden catches my
attention. He was always so handsome, so
carefree. But now he was cocky and an idiot. I
scowled.
A few seconds later I’m in the hallway. It doesn’t
take a genius to know which one was Arden’s
room. He had a torn up do not enter sign on his
door with drawings of the middle finger. I rolled
my eyes and twisted the handle of the door.
It swings open and a squeal leaves my lips at the
sight of a freshly showered Arden coming out of his
bathroom. The white towel hangs lowly on his hips NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
as a bead of water trails down until disappearing
inside the top of the towel.
Oh God. Oh God indeed. It was no wonder the guy
was cocky, he was the hottest guy I’ve ever seen.
My heart rate quickened and a pleasant feeling
settles in my stomach.
“What the hell are you doing here!?” He hisses
slamming the door of the bathroom shut. I’m a
flustered mess and swiftly turn around to block my
eyes.
“I’m sorry for not knocking.” I apologize, feeling
embarra*sed. I knew he noticed my gawking.
“That didn’t answer my question.” He says in
irritation. I could hear him shifting around in his
room and hoped that he was getting dressed.
My eyes are still blocked and clenched shut but the
image of his half naked body is printed on my
mind. I find my tongue darting out to lick my lip. “I
came to talk to you, apologize for being the cause
of your suspension.” I stated feeling the air in the
room turn tense.
He snorts. “I was expelled babe, not suspended.
Dad just did his magic and principal William agreed
to let me come back to school.”
The way he says babe sends pleasurable shivers
down my spine. I found that I loved it when he
called me that. “You can turn around now idiot.” I
hear the annoyance in his voice but try to not let it
get to me.
I turn around only to gulp at seeing him in only his
plaid boxers and white t-shirt. “I thought you said
you were dressed?” The question comes out more
like a whine. The sight of him was awakening
unknown emotions inside of me.
He rolls his blue eyes, his hair a wet curly mess on
his forehead. “I am.” He huffs and plops down on
his bed. He reaches for the remote and puts on the
TV. It’s loud and overbearing.
I breathed out an annoyed breath and walk over to
him, pry the remote out of his hands and turn the
volume lower. He glares at me menacingly. “What
the F*ck?” He questions slowly as if talking to a
child.
“Why did you do it?” I question. This had been
eating at my mind for the past few days.
He rolls his eyes. “Do what? Elaborate genius.”
“Why did you fight Sam?” I asked and sat down on
the edge of his bed.
“Because he touched you inappropriately.” He said
bluntly and tried to pry the remote away from me.
I move it away from his hands. I knew he was
hiding something, I could hear it in his voice. I
knew it was more than what he was letting on.
“Tell me the truth Arden. Why did you become so
enraged? You’ve never cared before-“
His eyes turn to steel of rage as he scowled at me.
“I always F*cking cared!” He spat.
I flinched away from his tone but then regained my
composure and glared at him.
“Then you never showed me! You always called me
a witch and other indecent words. You never
acknowledged me as your cousin-“
“Because I don’t see you that way! I never did and
I never will!” He roars, cutting me off.
I feel hurt for some unknown reason. It hurt me
that he hated me so much. “Why don’t you?” I feel
vulnerable and beyond hurt.
I never hated Arden, I was annoyed that he was
the only boy who ever made my heart skip a beat.
Always made me want to dress up cute for him
even though he never noticed and instead called
me a witch.I liked him a lot, even may love him.
But that arrogant fool could never get out of his
a*s to notice.
He sighs and moves his eyes away from me.
“Because I see you more than that Rosa, I see you
more than a cousin should.” He confessed but
didn’t look at me.
I feel my heart start to race through my chest,
tingles crawling inside my body. “What do you
mean?” I had an inkling feeling what he meant I
just really wanted to hear him say it.
He finally looks at me, his eyes portraying nothing
but honesty. “I see you how a man sees a woman.
I want you Rosa. I always have.” He breathes out.
His blue eyes are studying me like a hawk, waiting
for my next move.
But I shock him by crawling into his lap and
straddle him. My skirt hunches up to my waist and
I was sure he could see my red lace panty.
His big warm hands come securely on my hips as
he stares at me in shock. I could feel him swell
under me and I resisted the urge to reach in his
boxers and touch him.
I lace my hands around his head and bring him
forward. His blue eyes are wide staring at me in
longing. My forehead presses on to his as I smile
at his adorable confused face.
“What took you so damn long?” I question and pull
him into a toe curling kiss that soon heated up
more.Ten minutes later I found myself losing my
virginity to my brother’s bestfriend that I thought
hated me.
