Mixed Signals
Writer
“Hey Ladies,” Edward walked into the room, his eyes rested on Maliah, and Mandy tapped her as if alerting her to notice how he looked at her, but she noticed already and had pulled her face away.
“Hey,” Christian voice calmed, while he smiled at Mandy, who smiled lightly at him as her heart skipped a bit. She didn’t understand why she felt happy, but she knew it felt good to see him.
“I’ll leave you guys. I have something to say to Edward,” Maliah rushed her words, and pulled Edward away.
“What’s going on?” Edward asked immediately after they were outside. She pulled him away from the door and dragged him in the direction of his room, but Edward pulled away immediately.
“Can’t you see they are having a moment, leave the couples to talk,” she rolled her eyes at him.
“And sorry for that,” she said awkwardly apologizing for the whole holding his hands situation.
“Where were you taking me to?” He looked at her…
“Ermm, to your room?” She said in a question wondering why he asked that.
“Okay,” he said and she nodded and started to leave, but noticed he wasn’t behind her. She turned around to find him still standing at that spot but with his hands stretched out to her.
“What are you doing?”
“Waiting for you to take me to my room,” he responded like it was something so normal and she looked at him chuckling.
“You’re kidding?” He shook his head, revealing he wasn’t.
“Stop this. Let’s just go,” she groaned, but he didn’t even twitch. He kept standing with his hands stretched.
“Fu*k it” she cursed under her breath, walked back to him, and grabbed his hands, pulling him, as they both walked in the direction of his room. She peeped and noticed the little smile on his lips, making her smile as she wondered what was going on in his head.
“We’re here,” she opened the door, walked him inside, and turned around to leave.
“You’re leaving?” She nods her head in response.
“But I thought you had something to say to me?” He questioned. “Oh that was a cover-up lie for them,” she turned around to leave again.
“So we aren’t going to have our moment?” He asked and took a step closer to her. She gave him a quizzical look.
“What are you doing?” She questions, noticing him close the door behind her. She took a step backward and her back hit the door, he looked at her intensely, emotions springing up in his eyes, his eyes went down his lips with his hands still resting on the door.
“I’m creating our moment,” he said looking at her, he used his other hand and lifted up her chin, making her look at him while he faced back at her, his eyes navigating between her eyes and lips.
She could feel his breath on her face, his hands on her chin made her heart skip a bit. Why was he doing this? Was the question that ran through her head. She could hear him groan and noticed the struggle as he bit his lip a bit staring at her.
It was as if time had stopped for that moment, everything suddenly came to a halt, and she suddenly felt this tingling sensation all around her stomach while her legs wobbled.
“Oh fu*k” she watched him lick his lips in frustration still staring down at her lips. His hands left the door, and he pushed his hair backward now staring intently into her eyes, as if looking at her soul.
“I’m going to kiss you,” he said and at that moment his lips met her, making Maliah shocked as her eyes were wide open. He sucked on her lips, thrusting his tongue into her mouth, and for a split second, she gave in. She reciprocated and got caught up in the moment, slowly wrapping her hands around his neck while he groaned, thrusting deeper as if wanting to take her whole mouth into his, when she suddenly pulled away and pushed him away.
“Maliah…” He called calmly trying to get close to her, but she pointed at him giving him a hard glare.
“Don’t you come close to me,” she said and pointed her fingers at him…
“I’m sorry about the kiss,” he said in a whisper, pushing his hair backward…
“The kiss. This ain’t about it. What is it with the mixed messages, huh?” She yelled at him, taking him aback, while she cleaned her eyelashes which were gathered with a tear.
“I’m confused. Did I do something else?” He asked, and she laughed like a maniac…
“Do something wrong? One minute you’re hurting me physically, hurting the people around me,” She walked to him poking his chest
“The next you’re so nice to me and calling me girlfriend, “Amore” and how you’re so into me,” she did air quotes still giving him a hard glare, but he chuckled…
“Why are you doing all this? What exactly is your deal? What do you want from me,” she took a step backward as she took her finger off his chest while pushing her hair backward frustrated.
“Why are you doing this to me? Why are you making me feel wanted and desired? These mixed signals? Why are you making it feel like there’s more,” she breathed out and turned around walking towards the door…
“Maliah..” he called her name and it felt sensual, she bit her lips and clicked her tongue.
“You’re doing it again? Why are you,” Before she could finish her word, he pulled her to his chest and kissed her again, this time more passionately than before. His hands wrapped around her waist, while he sucked on her lips, as her hip grazed him.
Damn, this felt good for both parties, as they pulled away to catch their breath while staring at each other…
“Stop kissing me,” she eyes him, and he smiles…
“Stop making me want to, Amore” He rubbed her cheeks, loving the position that were in. She wrapped her hands around his back and he wrapped his around her waist.
“Oh. Now I’m doing this?” She took her hands away and struggled to pull away from him, as his grip tightened around her waist.
“Can you let go now?” Her voice was hard, while she took her face off him.
“Go on a date with me,” he said
“What?”
“Let’s go on our first date tonight,” he repeated, smiling…
