LOVE AGAIN

The moment she glanced up and met my eyes, my mind went blank, after a few minutes of my awkward silence.

“Yes…?”

Her voice came softly but demanding,

Damn you Val, what the heck are you doing to my mind!

I swallowed hard helplessly and looked away from her.

“We should dance”.

I said stiffly and took her hand, and we walked towards the dance floor.

Slowly, she moved her hands on my shoulder and I moved mine to her waist.

I felt her shiver nervously at the touch of my fingers spreading up on her lean back to guide her around the floor.

My body tightened at the brush of her body against mine and I had to look away from her for some time.

At first she seemed stiff and shy to dance but gradually she moved her hips to the music.

It was so smooth that I thought about moving my hand a bit lower to caress her behind, like I always enjoyed with women but unfortunately I have to be a gentleman for her only.

The music was now very slow and the only thing that could be considered fast would be the rate at which my heart was beating.

I still can’t get the reason why she found a man like Daniel attractive but not me,

Suddenly Val rested her head on my chest. I didn’t snap at her or stop her, I am more concerned about what is in my mind.

“You dance pretty,”.

I found myself confessing.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She raised her head and looked up at me stunned for a second.

****VAL’S POV****

Could this be an honest compliment from Mr Prince or one of his I am doing for the public? I resisted the shiver that instantly followed his words.

“Thanks, you too” I managed to whisper back.

This wasn’t supposed to happen, I wasn’t supposed to feel anything, not to talk of a sensational feeling.

I had made up my mind to forget about my crush on Prince.

One thing is sure, he has made his feelings clear to all, he is not the kind of man that will be submit commitment in a relationship , marriage to him means a business proposal that can be aborted at any time, someone who do not believe in love or think that women deserve to be loved but to be ridden and trashed.

I don’t want to make the same mistake again.

He has dated idols, models and beauty queens, he can have as many as he wants at any minute, they did he threw themselves at him like bees to honeycomb.

But yet just yet , I can’t stop the feelings, they keep growing and growing and I am vulnerable.

Luke said that I am weak, he was right, I gave in easily to love yet I didn’t learn my lesson.

How did I end up falling In Love with a man like Prince in a short time after what happened with me and Luke.

He was my first love.

I did think going out with Prince would help me feel better, but at the end of the day, I am still struck with pain, the pain of being betrayed by my one and only friend, then a man I love more than anything else.

The beautiful moments of us came to mind, then the sad and abusive memories.

I closed my eyes fighting, concentrating on removing any thoughts of Luke from my mind, yet it didn’t work out, he won’t go out of my heart and there is Prince who has been on my mind lately.

He is obviously sad news yet I am blindly allowing my heart to lead me into another heartbreak.

I gasped and broke into tears.

I was so embarrassed I hid my face on his chest, he noticed.

“Valerie…”

“I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to…”

My breath ceased instantly, his hand was on my hair brushing it down gently.

“Are you scared of me, Val?”his voice came again but deep like the ocean but soft too.

“No”, I replied,”I …I…am only scared of my heart, and what it might lead me to”.

He stopped dancing and grabbed my wrist.

“Come with me”.

I followed him to a passage that leads to  an elevator , we got inside, he pressed the button, I wanted to ask where we’re going.

We got to another passageway on the first floor, where he opened a room and slammed the door after me.

He pulled to the wall and pinned me before I could get to say something, his voice came sad and gentle.

“You are not the only one scared of the decision your heart might make, Val”.

He let go of the wall and turned around, he spoke to me.

“You’ve gotten into my system in a bad way Val and I am going crazy, I hate the way you make me feel”.

My eyes widened hearing that.

“What are you saying? And why are we in a closed room? If this is some sort of plan to get me laid, it’s not going to work”.

****PRINCE’S POV****

I turned around and found her face, and her eyes was already waiting for an answer to her questions yet she was  drawing  me towards her with her eyes, or maybe I thought she was.

I couldn’t hold back anymore.

With a swift stride I inclined my face toward hers and lay my mouth on her mouth, which was freshly split-open.

*****VAL’s POV*****

His lips met mine , slowly, it deepened, as the kiss turned harder and more demanding, he sucked on my lower lip, took it into his mouth with a gentle bite, then his lip traveled along my jaw to her neck, there he sucked on a pulse.

I couldn’t resist his kiss, I thought anyone could, I had to give in to his kiss and feel the taste of him too

down my throat.

Like he has been hungry for it forever, he kissed me  with so much energy that I could feel his breath down my throat, his hand grabbed my neck a bit tight and another large hand pulled my two lean ones over my head.

His phone started ringing. He played deaf it maybe intentionally let it ring.

?I know you think that you know me

But you ain’t even seen my dark side

It’s reserved for you only

So, baby, do it right, do me right

We can go all the time

We can move fast, then rewind

When you put your body on mine

And collide, collide

It could be one of those nights

Where we don’t turn off the lights

Wanna see your body on mine.

And collide, collide?

This is such a bad idea, I don’t seem to be able to control my own body anymore, I thought.

“I want you…Val, I want you too much” he whispered, and closed his eyes tightly, his voice adding a different rhythm to the song of his ringtone.

Our bodies pressed together heatedly against the wall, breathing heavily as our lips pressed together.  I could taste our shared breath, feel the thud of our combined heartbeat.

He continued kissing me as I have never been kissed before, demanding, hungry for more, not getting enough, never ending.

My soft bust pressed against his hard chest , I could feel the hardness against brushing my erected nipple, it  made me wish there’s no material preventing me from feeling them unclad.

Finally he pulled his lips out of mine, hot breaths fanning our faces.

I  stare at him, my eye’s probably helpless and demanding. His eyes were filled with nothing but wanting,  desire and maybe some kindness that I have never seen in them before.
