Chapter 227
Cassie
When Knight and I came back that day from the beach. Florentine was the first person to come to us. Apparently, she had been worried even after I told her over the phone that we were on our way home. I was never out so late so it was natural that she worried. She had been surprised to see Knight and I with damp hairs and gave us that look of suspicion. I couldn’t hide my blush either, neither could Knight take his eyes off me. We had stopped by a fashion store nearby and despite the awkwardness of the situation, we were able to get new pairs of clothes and a towel to dry our body but that didn’t conceal the fact that something had gone on between Knight and I.
Florentine had pulled me to a corner. I could feel her impatience to know what went on.
“Spill it.” She had said and my cheeks reddened the more with a blush.
“Knight confessed his feelings to me.” I replied and her mouth stood agape. She was shocked and made me tell how we got to that point. She was really excited for me, asked me some questions and gave me a heart to heart talk like she were my mother. At the end she got me spilling tears as well.
Fast-forward to weekend, I spent time with the girls in Florentine’s room. We had breakfast together, none of us was willing to share a table with Angel, at least he had the men.
Camilo was telling some gossip to cheer Thea up. She haden’t been herself ever since she lost her baby and I felt really bad for her and to add to her worries, I learnt that Angel had been harrassing her with unwanted visits. I wanted to yell some sense into him but Thea had talked me out of it. She didn’t want my relationship with Angel to be strained because of her. What a selfless person she was.
Camilo had talked about a street whore in their area who used to seek her brother’s attention. She publicly embarrassed the so called lady Margaret, who was five years older than her brother when she found her with her brother in bed after a night shift. Theo had been drunk at the bar Margaret used to work and in the disguise if being a help she helped him home and they went down on each other that night. It got the towns people talking so she disgraced her for luring her brother to bed with alcohol. That was the most vile thing she had done to a person according to her.
Hmm… What a sweet soul.
“Girls I have something to say to you.” I said finally when Camilo’s story came to a halt.
The got interested, Camilo had a spark of excitement and relieve as if she was thanking me from releasing her. Thea was hard to impress these days.
“A secret hmm….” Thea said beaming a smile for the first time. It gave me the courage to go ahead.
“Come on, say it Cassie.” Camilo said when I became shy suddenly.
I sighed then found the words to speak. ” Knight and I went out to the beach yesterday.” I said and the both raised a brow which got me suspicious. They shared a glance and I was certain they had an eye communication with that.
“What did you go to the beach to do?” Camilo was sly. She definitely knew something hot was about to be spilled. I bit my inner lip to surpress a smile. Thea gave me a go ahead gesture and I continued.
“And…. We kissed.” Gasps echoed in the room and the girls looked at each other shocked at first and then excitement taking over their expression. I had been pinching my fingers feeling nervous of their reaction.
“Finally!” Camilo said more in satisfaction like she had been waiting for Knight and I to get together.
“You did what?” Thea said happily.
“We kissed….” I whispered and giggled when the girls tickled me excitedly.
“And?” Thea pressed, they both knew something else happened.
I trailed glances from them and then said shyingly. “He told me he was in love with me.” Gasps echoed again then came giggles of excitement as they held me. It made me happy to see them rejoice over my new found joy.
“Congratulations Cassie, you’re no more a little girl.”
Camilo said and I raised a brow at her which caused her to pin her lips but I could tell she was trying to hold back her amusement.
“Come on Cami, dont do her like that.” Thea teased and they both let out the laugh they had been holding.
“I wasn’t little and being in a relationship doesn’t make me bigger.” I said glaring at them.
“Oh you two are a couple already? Camilo said.
“Are you sure you don’t want to take things slow?” Thea said looking at me with concern.
“What’s wrong with being a couple immediately?” I said wondering where their concern was coming from.
“Uh… I mean you’re like 19 and he’s your brothers bestfriend.” Camilo said as if reminding me in case I forgot. I knew that already, like it were rooted in my mind.
“Nineteen is fine and Knight’s not even up to thirty.” I said feeling a little sad. I understood their worry but I just didn’t care. I got the man I wanted and that was all that mattered to me. I may be young and need to mature with experience but I was ready to give it a serious try. I wanted to be committed for real to Knight because I loved him so much.
“Okay… Well I’m happy for you then.” Camilo said in a warmer tone.
“Same here. If he tries anything to hurt you I’ll kill him myself.” Thea said and we laughed about it. “Come here….” She said hugging me and Camilo joined in the hug shortly.
“We love you Cassie and will be here whatever you need us for.” Camilo said dropping a peck to my forehead.
“I love you both like my sisters.” I said holding them more closely.
Sisters, that was exactly how I saw them. I felt lucky to have them. Camilo and Caspian were now a couple, Knight and I just started our love journey and I wished sincerely that things would get better for Angel and Thea. I wanted both of them to be happy.
“I have to go now, Knight’s waiting for me.”
“What? So soon?” Camilo said and they broke away from the hug looking at me disappointed.
“So you’re just going to bail on us because of your new found love?” Thea teased.
“Uh… We….” I stuttered while they looked at me keenly, feigning annoyance. “We already set a motorbike date today. I’m sorry.” I apologized feeling their glare eat into me. “Please….” I begged further and their gaze softened.
“Alright, have fun.” Thea said kissing my cheek.
“Take a condom….” Camilo said and everywhere fell silent. I looked at them feeling uncomfortable and she shrugged her shoulders in support of Camilo.
“I mean, you never know what can happen.” Camilo defended.
“She’s right Cassie, when you’re in love, it drives you insane. It’s hard to control your body when you’re around them.” Thea said and the room fell silent again as we both gave her a knowing look. She withdrew with a sad expression realizing she had spoken from a place of truth. We all knew she still had strong feelings for Angel. Love is that cruel making you feel so deeply for that one person even after they’ve hurt you so much.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
It was a scary feeling yet a risk I was willing to take.
“Florentine hides some away in here.” Camilo said and got up to get out a pack of it from the cupboard. She handed me a wrap and I took it shyingly.
“Thank you.” I whispered.
“Be careful Cassie.” She said patting my shoulder. I nodded and waved them bye as I headed towards the door. Knight had already texted me that he was ready and waiting for me. My heart grew with butterfly tickles and my excitement was beyond words.
“Tell him to go slow down there!” Thea yelled and I stopped suddenly, just a pull away from the door. I shut my eyes in embarrassment and exhaled deeply.
I snapped my head in their direction swearing under my breath.
“Uh… Just tell him to be careful, you’re still a V remember?” Thea said in a low voice also drawing a V with her hand.
“You can stop painting mental images of me in your heads!” I said and pulled the door.
“We love you Cassie!” I heard them yell as I shut the door behind me. My frown turned into an amused smile as I moved away from the door. I was indeed excited to start having those dirty talks with them after Knight and I consumate our love.
The thought of being penetrated by him gave me goose bumps over my skin.
I felt my skin heat up with desires, sexual desires.
Fuck…! My panties was soaked. I took a deep breath to calm my urges but I guess my libido was just high after Knight gave me his heart.
I walked down the hallway heading to the place of our meeting as he had directed me over the phone. I turned my head in both directions looking out for people, our relationship was only known to the ladies and maybe Caspian if Knight had told him but the rest didn’t know and I knew it’d spark gossips if they saw us together. Everyone knew I had a crush on Knight, it wasn’t a hidden thing but to become a couple they may not have seen that coming.
A scream almost rippled through my throat as a strong hand suddenly pulled me out of the way and pinned me against the wall.
“Shhh….” It’s just me my princess.” I let out a sharp sigh and blinked my bulged eyes to normalcy.
“Knight?”
