You Kissed My Soul novel Chapter 38

Aderyn Pov

“What the hell just happened?” I muttered while I walked down the stairs.

“I kissed him?”

“Did I seriously Kiss him?” I questioned to myself and touched my lips which were still tingling because of that kiss.

“And I don’t even regret it?” I racked a hand through my hair confused.

I would have killed that person who would have kissed me like that but here I was enjoying kissing Dylan and I don’t even regret doing that.

“Oh Aderyn I am so sorry” I heard Greta and I looked towards her to find her standing near the broken crockery.

Not just Crockery but very costly Crockery which I brought from France last year. My Crockery are very special to me and I just love them. I would shout at anyone who did any harm to it and here Greta has broken my favorite one.

“Greta move aside you will hurt your feet” I told her and watched as she looked at me shocked and I was shocked too.

What the hell am I saying?

“Ad-Aderyn are you alright?” She asked dazed.

“Of course. Now move aside you will seriously hurt your feet” I said and she nodded moving aside.

“Uh I am so sorry I broke your favorite cro-” she was cut off by Dylan “Don’t worry I will buy a new one for her” my heart beat raced against my chest hearing him.

I looked back and found him standing on the stairs. I looked at him with wide eyes and as soon as his eyes met mine, the whole incident that happened few minutes ago flashed back before me and I felt my cheeks burning from it so before he could see me blushing, I turned around and looked the other side clearly hiding myself from Greta.

“I need to clean it before any one gets hurt” Greta said and walked towards the store room to bring the cleaning materials.

I nodded and walked back to the living room where I switched on the Tv and flipped channels. It stopped on a show called “Just for laugh gags”.

I loved that show. A smile broke onto my face and I walked backward to sit on my sofa.

“If you wanted to do it so badly then the only thing you needed to do was just to tell me” I jolted up back but his arm which was wrapped around my waist stopped me from doing so.

Unintentionally, yes unintentionally I sat on his lap. I was walking backwards so I didn’t know that he was sitting there.

“What are you doing? Let me go” I snapped and he let me go.

I stood up and turned around glaring at him.

“If you were sitting there and you saw me walking backwards then why the hell you didn’t stop me?”

He shrugged and smirked crossing his arms across his chest.

“Maybe I didn’t want you to stop” he said and immediately I blushed hearing him.

I turned around saying a quiet “Whatever” to him and sat on the other sofa watching the show.

As I was watching the show I felt his stares on my body.

“Watch the show not me” I snapped not even looking at him because I knew he was looking at me. Peripheral Vision.

“Well I am watching the show” he said and I looked at him to find him already looking at me.

“Well you clearly don’t” I said which made him raise his eyebrows.

“So how did you know I was watching you and not the show?” he asked and I gulped biting on my tongue.

“Oh don’t tell me your attention was on me” he had this smug look on this face which I seriously wanted to wipe out of his face with a kick.

“Shut up” I said and looked back at the Tv.

“Its already half past Two Aderyn when are you going to pack?” He asked when we were having our lunch.

“Again?” I glared at him.

“How many times I have to tell you that I am not going anywhere?” I said and stuffed a mouthful of my chicken into my mouth.

He narrowed his eyes on me and then concentrated back on his food.

I raised an eyebrow on this.

“Weird! He didn’t argue this time. Looks like I won” I thought and smirked thinking about the chances of me winning.

“Eat your food” he said out of nowhere while I was smirking.

“Eating” I snapped and continued eating my food.

“Greta where is that?” He asked when we were done eating.

“Where is what?” I asked getting confused. I didn’t have any Idea upon what he was talking about.

“Oh I will just serve it” Greta told us as she wiped her mouth using the tissue and went inside the kitchen.

I sat on my chair waiting for her.

She came back holding a tray.

“Chocolate smoothie?” I asked looking at the creamy smoothie. It was my favorite.

“He asked me to make this” Greta told us as she gestured towards Dylan and served us our glass.

“Well I asked you because I wanted to drink it. You didn’t need to make it for her. You could have just made only for two” he shrugged and took his glass drinking from it.

“Oh Shut up!” I glared at him and drank my smoothie enjoying each sip.

It was my favorite drink after all.

After I finished my drink, I helped Greta washing the dishes while Dylan went somewhere. The whole time I was washing the dishes Greta kept on looking at me weirdly. I gave her a look and she averted her gaze away doing some other work.

“Okay I am done here” I said as I set the plates back on its place.

“I am going out for a walk” I said as I wiped the water out of my hand using a cloth.

“Are you feeling alright?” She asked out of nowhere and I gave her a look.

“Of course I am feeling good. Why? Am I not supposed to feel good?” I questioned suspiciously and she gulped audibly.

Her action made me even suspicious.

“What is it Greta?” I asked as I threw the cloth on the table.

“Nothing. Its just you went through so much in just a day so I was worried” she said and I nodded.

Maybe I was exaggerating.

There is nothing for which I need to get all suspicious upon Greta.

“Oh! No I am fine” I said and I gave her a small smile.

“Hey! Come here” she said and I went into her arms resting my head on her shoulder.

I was feeling little tired somehow.

“I know you are a brave child” she said as she rubbed her palms on my back.

“Hmm” I hummed.

“I know you have gone through so much in your life Child. And I think you should open up now. Its time that you let someone in so that he could heal you” she said and I remained silent listening to her.

“You need to stop being so strong dear. You need to loose yourself sometimes so that someone could keep a hand on your shoulder and tell you that everything will be alright. Because at the end you always need that someone who will give you tha-” I cut her off because I knew where this was going.

“Greta. I am fine” I said as I pulled myself back and kept my hands on her shoulder.

“And moreover I have you” I said and pinched her nose.

“I don’t need to worry for anything as long as I have you” I said and she opened her mouth to speak “But I -” I cut her off again “Mmmm Greta! I am Fine” I said and smiled at her.

“Now don’t worry so much” I said and before she could open her mouth I kissed her cheek and walked out of the kitchen room.

“I am going for a walk” I shouted as I draped my shawl and walked out from the back door towards the sea.

Its been a long time since I walked like this for a walk.

Alone.

“Sometimes I feel Alone. Really Alone. And I think that maybe Greta is actually right but then I am back being to my usual one. Strong and determined” I talked to myself as I walked towards the sea.

The waves hitting my foot and I felt relaxed after walking on that warm sand. The water felt really cold and I closed my eyes enjoying my own little time feeling the waves and breeze hitting my face.

“You again!” I said as I felt a presence behind me.

Somehow I knew who exactly the person behind me was.

“Thought to give you some company” his husky voice came from behind me and I sighed opening my eyes.

“Well maybe I wanted to be alone” I said and felt him walking beside me.

“Or maybe you did need a company” he said and I looked towards him to find him standing beside me wearing a blue ripped jeans and for the first time I saw him wearing a white V neck t-shirt. His hands were shoved inside his pant pockets as he looked up towards the sea in a calm look.

“I didn’t knew that you wear other color other than black” I said and he looked down at me scowling at me.

“Of course I do have” he said and looked at his shirt.

I smiled at this and looked back towards the ocean.

“How did you know that I was here?” I asked.

“I can always find you wherever you are” he said and I nodded half mindfully listening to him.

“I heard what Greta said back there” he said and I hummed in response. I was feeling tired now. Very tired.

“You should listen to her. I think she is right” I heard him say and I closed my eyes listening to him.

“Hmmm” I hummed in response.

I wanted to tell him that I was fine alone but I kept my mouth shut because I felt my energy draining out of my body.

“You should let me in”

“At least give me a chance” I frowned hearing him say all those.

Was he seriously saying all those things or was I dreaming?

“But in all those things I know one thing. I am not giving up on you. I am not leaving you. I am taking you back with me. It doesn’t matter that you want to go or not. I am taking you with me. I am not letting you alone ever” he said and that was when I lost my balance and I began to fall backwards but stopped mid air when he wrapped his hands around me stopping me from falling.

“Like I said before” he said as he scooped me up into his arms “I am not giving up on you” I could hear him and slowly I began to loose my senses.

“I don’t know about you. But I-” he stopped mid sentence and that is when I felt something on my forehead and then he completed his sentence “For remaining strong, I need you” I heard him and his last sentences remained ringing inside my head in a whisper as I slowly drifted into darkness.

“I need you”.

I need you.
