Love or Lust (Christmas romance)

"ahhh!" I screamed before pushing him off the bed. With my heart racing, I clutched my white pillow to my chest even though I was not naked. White pillow? I don't own anything white for obvious reasons. " Ughh! You're more violent when you're awake." My idiot of a cousin said as he tried massaging his back. " What are you doing in my bed?" I yelled at him. I know he is family but he is a guy. And I don't like having guys this close to me, alone, in my room. " In your bed?" he scoffed before adding " check again Kelly." It was then I noticed I was not in my bed, not in my grandma's, not even in my dad's. It was... Ben's. No no no! Please don't tell me I.... " Yeah. You sleepwalked to my room" he must have guessed my thoughts when he saw the horrified expression I had on my face. " I don't sleepwalk." I said stubbornly. I know I did but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of admitting. The thing was... I started sleepwalking after he relocated to UK. I would always find myself in his room in the morning whenever I stayed at grandma's house. I guessed I missed him that much. But now he is here, I don't understand how I ever missed him. He took off his T-shirt. Showing off his drool - worthy body. Instead of finding my way out, what do you think I did? I sat down rooted to the bed, staring at his body. What broke the trance was the cocky smirk on his face. Trust me. When a guy is cute and he doesn't know, that's very adorable. But when he looks good and he knows, that is the spelling of danger. *** Christmas is near! Who is excited? Everyone but Kelechi. After a break up, Christmas excitement is not what she needs. Definitely not her entire dysfunctional family in one place. Especially not her cousin Ben who she is attracted to. Quick question: When you are attracted to your cousin, is it love or lust?

Chapter 1

Kelechi

"Change it back, Now!" I screamed at Uche. I had been watching Victorious, when I noticed that the cheese in my hand finished. I just left to get more only to come back to see Uche watching sports. He changed the channel. How dare he?

He didn't even notice me, he just continued watching the stupid match on TV. Out of anger, I switched off the TV.

"Kelly, switch it on" he said in a commanding tone. Like I was someone he could command.

"It's Kelechi to you. And don't you dare use that tone on me."

"I'm waiting. Switch it on." He said in a duh tone as if he didn't hear what I said.

"If I ever switch it on, it'd be for Victorious not some boring football"

I turned it on and started watching Victorious.

"Ok. I'm going to be the adult and leave the TV for my baby cousin." He said as he went upstairs, probably to his room.

Annoying. He thought he could have his way just because he's older by a day. Just a day o. And he's acting all senior and mature. Calling me a baby. We'll see who the baby is when he's hungry - I said to myself.

By then, I had lost focus on the movie I was watching. When I realised and decided to focus on the movie, NEPA took the light. I mean, there was a black out. It's kinda common here. No light and that meant no TV.

It's all his fault. If he hadn't carried his body here and touched the remote. I would still be watching TV.

It'd been twelve hours since I learnt that he was here. And in those hours, I couldn't do anything in peace. He had spent the night calling and laughing. And I could hear him clearly because my room is right next to his. Just a wall separating us.

He had laughed and talked all-night while I had cried myself to sleep. Do you know how pesky it is to hear someone laugh and talk while you cry?

And what was worse was his British accent.

I really needed to go out. So I won't have to tolerate him. So, I went to the kitchen to make something to eat before leaving.

And that's chapter one.

What do you think?

I know it's short. I'll try making a longer chapter next time.
