Chapter 122: MAKE OUT
Jasmine closed her eyes as if dreaming before she opened them and replied,
"My actions were wrong, I admit that but seeing her holding hands with my Ethan was the biggest mistake of her life". Lifting her second bottle to her lips, she gulped down four mouthfuls of its content before placing it back on the table.
Andrew noticed the single drop on the sides of her lips, unable to resist the urge, he stretched out his hand and wiped it away, which took Jasmine by surprise.
The both of them made eye contact, his black eyes boring into her brown ones. For a moment, the both of them stared into each other’s eyes as if the world had suddenly stopped for them.
Andrew smirked at her before he retracted his hands and placed them back by his side.
"So you are telling me that you love Ethan but you are angry because he doesn’t love you and because he has a girlfriend?" Andrew asked, trying to put her words in a single frame.
"Ethan loves me", she corrected. "He just hadn’t said it yet because he is with that woman", she spat out of anger.
"But you also mentioned that when you two were kids, he’d always protect you from your raging father?" He asked her and she nodded before lifting the bottle again. "Does that mean you have grown emotionally attached to him and you’ve mistaken it to be an intimate love?"
Jasmine’s hands paused in the air, Andrew kept on asking her the questions that she had never asked herself before which made her wonder if he had read a script before coming.
"Is that a yes or a no?" He asked her.
"I love Ethan becau....."
"What if, since you have been abused by your father, you’ve always wanted someone whom you could rely on, whom you could go to for protection and comfort and he happened to be there for you for those hard moments?" Andrew interrupted her as he explained his thoughts but unfortunately for him, Jasmine was too drunk to think through his words.
She stared at him, perplexed but shook her head, as if trying to get rid of the possibility.
"That’s rubbish", she waved her hands, "I know what I feel for Ethan and it’s not a mistake", she faced the dance floor and abruptly stood up.
"Where are you going?" Andrew asked her but she had already left. He watched her get on the dance floor and started showing her moves, swaying her hips from side to side before dizziness suddenly hit her.
Andrew watched her stagger a few times before he went to her side. He was about to pull her off the stage but she pulled him in instead, circled her arm around his neck and said, "Let’s dance", and she started moving again.
Andrew tried to keep up with her speed but after several failed attempts, he pulled her off the stage, back to her seat with her whining in disapproval from behind him.
"You are drunk, so you shouldn’t move too much else you might just fall", he tried to reason out but Jasmine only pouted her lips at him. "You look like a vexed doll", he commented.
His comment got Jasmine to smile at him and she replied, "You look very handsome yourself too".
Her words got him to choke on his drink, making him cough. Jasmine quickly rushed to his side to pat his back to make him calm down.
"Just a simple compliment and you are already choking", she mocked him playfully and he glared at her in return. She smiled sheepishly at him and went back to his seat to continue her drinking but he stopped her.
"That’s enough for you tonight, you can’t have anymore," he said.
"Says who? I want to have more so I’ll have more", she declared and attempted drinking from the bottle again but Andrew was quick to snatch it away from her. "Big meanie", she whined with a pout.
"You look so cute that I want to kiss you right now", he joked.
"Then why don’t you? Let’s kiss", she demanded while staring at him, waiting for him to move closer to her face.
"It’s your alcohol that’s talking please", Andrew waved her demand away even though he also wanted to kiss her but not in her drunk state since it was possible for her to forget everything the next day.
Jasmine frowned at him for rejecting her demand. She got up from her seat and walked to his side to sit on his lap which took the latter by surprise.
"If you are not going to do it then I think I should do it", after saying those words, she leaned in on Andrew’s face to place her lips on his. Unsure of what to do next, she nibbled on his lower lip before moving to his upper lip.
Andrew, who had just been suddenly kissed by her, felt her soft lips nipple on his. He could sense her stiffness and inexperience. Even though it was wrong, he couldn’t help himself from grinning before he tilted her head and slipped his hot tongue into her mouth which took her by surprise, making her moan softly. She tried pulling away but Andrew held her head steadily as he continued to ravage the insides of her mouth while she clenched her fist in his shirt.
The clubbing crowd noticed the intense make-out of the couple and they joined in. In no less than a minute, the club room had turned into a make-out contest, the DJ had switched the music into a slow jam and everyone got into the mood.
The couple who were oblivious of the contest that they had started continued to get lost in the moment.
Andrew sucked Jasmine’s bottom lip before he moved to her upper lip. At first, Jasmine was making mistakes but after a while, she got a hang of it. She lightly patted his back, asking for breath and Andrew sucked hard on her lips before he released her.
