Chapter 15 Tuley's pow I quickly put my dress back on properly , my heart speeding quickly . I swallowed as fixed my messy hair to hide those hickies her brother gave me last night after I washed my mouth to remove the stain . " Bails ? " Mira called out with another knock " Yeah , I'm almost done just a sec . " Trushed out of my mouth and fixed my dress while praying that at it wouldn't see those bruises on my neck . Hoping looked decent enough , I walked to the door and opened it . Mira is leaning against the opposite wall , arms crossed and feet too " Everyone seems to have already le ." She sighed , pushing off the wall . I shifted out of her way . " I need to pee so bad , it's like I could fill an entire bucket. She groaned and entered the bathroom swiftly . Usually I'd wait for her to get out and we'd talk on the way . But right now , I was trying to avoid looking at her , so I made my way downstairs . If upstairs was messy , then down here was worst . I could barely see the floor as I tried my hardest to tip - toe around every dirty cup . I made a beeline for the kitchen , opened the fridge and pulled out one last water bottle . I chugged it down quickly , hoping it would help with the flush on my face . " Up so early ? " I nearly choked on the water , gasping as I move the bottle from my lips . I coughed , wheezing and leaned against the counter for support . I looked up , met his blue eyes and tore them away quickly when they managed to make my heart speed . " What have you done to Bails ? " Mira accused her brother as she walked into the kitchen . She patted my back as i hacked out cough after cough . Normally I would've glared at Kaleb , but right now I was hell - bent on evading him, so I glared at the floor instead . " I haven't done anything to flower but greet her . " He snorted while approaching us . I froze when he was so near , his scent filling my nose . He smelled so good . " Alright there , flower ? " He chuckle lowly , the sound sending a shot of vibration in my lower stomach . Fuck . Yes . You just caught me off guard . " I answered him while still evading his stare . But when he brushed against me , my eyes found themselves staring at his face . I held my breath when he was already staring at me . " I need some water . " He uttered , his voice going hoarse . An abrupt flashback of him speaking to me in that dame hoarse voice last night made me bite into my bottom lip . my face flush again at the sudden memory I quickly averted my gaze feeling my fac I couldn't help but feel embarrassed right now how could I have made myself get caught up in this mess ? I cleared my throat , avoiding his gaze as I uttered before he opened the fridge . "I took the last bottle . " " Is that right ? " He asked smoothly . Chapter 15 Suddenly Kaleb reaches out for the battle in my hand , his fingers grazing against inine , I sucked in a breath when I felt a port of He takes the battle from my grasp , and moves away from me a little , " Hoyt " I snapped , my eyes glaiting at him . With a lopsided grin and eyes that gleamed , Kaleb took a swig of the water . His eyes never left mine while he gulped down the water . My stomach twisted . Itum away from him quickly , trying to compose myself . My heart was beating so furiously in my chest . " Kaleb , you're such a jerk , " Mira frowned and smacked the bottle upwards , causing Kaleb to jerk back and choke . He pulled the bottle away and coughed . " What the fuck Mirabellal She rolled her eyes . " Serves you right . She then turns her attention to me . Her brows furrowed . " I forgot to ask . Last night , where were you ? Didn't see you in my room and looked everywhere for you ." My heart drops and my mind races . I couldn't exactly tell her I was in her brother's bed , I couldn't tell her that I was busy losing my virginity to her brother last night . Especially when he was looking at me intently right now , I swallowed harshly . Shit . I try try to co compose myself to not give myself away . My heart was ready to come out of my chest as I dig for a plausible excuse . " I uh - well the air was stuffy inside and i went out back . Kind of stayed there for a while until everyone went home . I end up sleeping on the couch . Sorry you must have been worried . " I smiled weakly , praying Mira buys into my lie . She studies me for a little , as if trying to read my thoughts . Her brows end up furrowing even more . " Why didn't you just come to my room ! " My mind races as I try to come up with a quick response while taking a rapid sneak peek over at Kaleb . He's still staring at me so intensely . I quickly looked away and responded to Mira's pending question . " I felt so lazy to walk up those stairs " Mira looks like she was on the verge of digging for more intel when we heard the low screech of tires . She runs towards the window , her eyes widening " Oh shit ! Dad and mom are here ! " She yelped , turning to stare at her brother Kaleb with panic on her face . Kaleb peeked through the window as the sound of the car pulling into the driver grew louder . He groaned , raking a hand through his hair . " They were not supposed to be back until later today , " He scans his eyes over the littered cups and bottles and then looked over at m the trash bags Bailey ? " d grabbing I nod , grawing on my bottom . " I uh - I have to get something upstairs , I'll be back ! " Mira rushed out , leaving Kaleb and me in her dust as she raced upstairs . I cracked a smile knowing Mirabella only wanted i ed to escape her parents incoming wrath . " I don't think she'll come back dow Chapter 15 I turn around only to stop mid - sentence when I notice Kaleb a little too close to me . We were nearly brishing against each flushed , my tongue growing heavy " Juh- I take a st step back only for him to reach out and slop me . " Flower . " His voice is so husky and alluring . Hooked up at him stunned . His eyes bore into mine . " It was you last night , wasn't it ? " AD
