SARAH'S POV
Andrew did not come home last night, I tried calling him, but he didn't answer his phone. I was worried, maybe he's lonely by now, I know how much he loves Therese, I can see it the way he looked at her. I always felt jealous of Therese. I sighed.
It is eight in the evening already and I'm alone in a huge mansion while the rain is pouring heavily outside. I pulled out my phone trying my luck to call him again, hoping he'll pick up this time. The phone rings and finally, he picks it up.
"Yes, little sweet?" He said when he answer the call
"Where are you?" I inquired.
"Why?" He didn't answer my question.
"I was just worried about you," I told him in a low voice.
"Why?" He asked again.
"You didn't come home last night and I just find out what happened to you and Therese," I said, worriedly. I heard him sighed before he spoke again.
"I stayed in my apartment."
"But why? Mom and dad are away so you should stay here instead, can you come home now? Please? I am alone here Michelle and Richard went out and still have not yet returned maybe because of the rain, maybe they got stranded somewhere." I sadly explained.
"Alright, I'm coming."
"Okay, tak.." he didn't let me finish my word and he just hung up.
I am sitting on the couch in the living room, waiting for everyone's arrival. After thirty minutes of waiting, I heard a halt of a car engine. I peek in the window and I see Andrew running under the heavy rain towards the front door.
I quickly got up and ran to open it and saw a Greek God-like looking Andrew. The droplets from his hair are dripping down to his face and his wet white shirt is enough to show his well-defined features. I was staring at him for I don't know how long when suddenly I felt a cold hand touch mine. I was struck and my body shivers by the sudden electricity that flows in my entire body, I swallowed.
"Can you get me a clean towel?" He asked.
"Ehh...ye.yeah yeah! Sure!" I stuttered, pulling my hands from his hold.
I turned my back and inhaled so deeply. I can hear my heart beating so fast. I open the cabinet and take out a clean towel, but when I turn around I bumped into something hard.
It was Andrew he followed me, we were looking at each other's eyes intently, it's like, I suddenly forgot how to breathe until I remembered the towel in my hand.
"Here." I felt my face heating up while handing the towel to him, looking down.
"Thanks." He said and turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
When he's out of my sight, I hold onto my chest and abruptly release the air that I held in my lungs.
'What was that? What is happening to me.' I asked myself in disbelief, I know well that I like him more than a brother and I never deny that to myself, but I never felt this way before. Why now?
It's been an hour and a half since Andrew arrived, but still no sign of Michelle and her fiance, the rain already stopped as well. After a while, I decided to go upstairs to get my phone. I see Andrew, he is on the balcony holding a glass of liquor. I walked straight towards my bedroom door casually when he called me.
"Little sweet." I swallowed hard and turned to him.
"Yes?" I faced up to him and smiled a little trying to look as usual.
He didn't answer, he was walking at a slow pace towards me. I saw his eyes looking at me, down to my body, and then to my face. He keeps on staring at me and I don't understand, but I can't keep my eyes off him as well and I just froze in my position. He came closer and I stepped backward until my back bumped against the wall. He was standing only inches away from me.
I don't know what he is thinking, but I see darkness in his eyes. He lifts his hand and touches my face. I like how warm it brings now, I love the sensation he put on to my body, unfamiliar but I want it. I put my small hand on top of his big one that holds my face and before I could say anything he leaned forward and pressed his lips with mine.
My eyes widened by his sudden action but slowly my eyelids are closing down and just let myself feel his kiss. It was soft and gentle until he sucked my lower lip carefully enough not to hurt me, I don't know but I started to respond to his kisses.
I moved my lips following his every move as he tilted his head to position perfectly against mine, his lips tasted bitter but after a while it became sweet. My knees start to wobble and I'm losing my balance, but he grabs my arms and puts them around his neck while he is holding my waist tight.
I unconsciously moaned when I felt his tongue getting inside my mouth, my heart skipped for what he did, but I didn't stop him, I'm liking what he is doing or probably loving it.
He rolled his tongue inside my mouth, teasing mine until I gave in, and started moving as well. I felt his grip getting tighter and pulled me more into him.
I can feel that my lips were swollen already, but neither of us doesn't want to stop yet, the sensation that I am feeling was overwhelming.
Until I suddenly heard a halting car engine, I abruptly open my eyes and push Andrew away before I rush inside my bedroom, then close the door behind me.
I am breathing heavily, I was so shocked by what just happened. I slumped my body on the bed with my back and looked up to the ceiling.
'What was that?' I thought, holding my chest.
I can't sleep the whole night, I'm still thinking about the kiss and I'm so confused about the feelings he brought to me. Though I am attracted to him, still he is my brother and that's not only it, there's this something in my body that I don't understand. My body feels steaming and I can't stop it.
I guess I'm wrong about liking my brother, this is not right.
"Sarah, are you still up?" Michelle knocks on my door, I quickly stand up and open it.
"Yes? You need something?" I asked.
"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Yeah, of course! Why?"
"Oh! Nothing, I'm just worried about you, I didn't mean to be so late, good thing that Andrew came over."
"uhm, yeah!"
"Anyways can I borrow your hairdryer? Mine got broken." She said frowning.
"Of course," I said and get the dryer then hand it to her.
"Here"
"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked again.
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry, it's just that you look... I don't know, just never mind." Then she turned her heels and left.
'I am that obvious?' I asked myself while cupping myself with both hands.
