The Kiss

Erebos couldn't stop staring at the girl in front of him. All he wanted to do us to compel her to forget everything about the night in the woods and how they both met.

He grabbed her arms tightly and gazed at her. She didn't blink her eyes for four seconds, rather Bellezza was frightened the way he held her.

"You are hurting me Erebos" she screamed.

He let go of her arm slowly, regretting why he held it in the first place. She took few steps backwards indicating that she was scared of him.

"Am sorry Bellezza, please" he apologized.

"Why will you do that? What will achieve hurting me??" She said, looking at her arm again. It was reddened because of the way he held her.

"I can explain this okay? Just give me a chance to" Erebos tried moving closer to her but he stopped because every step he took frightened Bellezza and she reacted to it.

"No am leaving, I want to leave this place" she yelled at him.

"I wanted to kiss you Belle" he said, closing his eyes tightly. Erebos knew this was the way to calm a girl in this situation. He hated that he had to lie like this.

"What? You??"

"Yes, but I got scared. You might think I want to take advantage of you that's why" he added.

She became shy instantly. Her eyes went down as she bit the edge of her lips slowly. Erebos wondered what was wrong with her or was Bellezza crushing on him before this? It was normal thing, he won't be surprised.

"You didn't tell me that you liked me?" She asked.

"Yeah, we are yet to know each other. Also your mom doesn't like me, I knew it will be difficult"

"Come on, am no kid. Erebos am twenty and I have the rights to make my own decisions. The reason why I am staying with my family, it's because I love them and I don't want us to divided" Bellezza explained. What she said sounded stupid to Erebos, family were people who leave when they want and they only come around when they needed you. That was what family meant to Erebos.

"Let me take you home, is getting late" he looked up and saw that it was already dark.

"It doesn't matter" she said.

"O yes it matters. I don't want your mom to burn my hair" he ran his hands through it. If there was something in this world that Erebos don't joke with, was his hair. As old as it was he was never tired of the hair.

******

Bellezza couldn't stop smiling after hearing that he wanted to kiss her. Though many guys asked for her a kiss before, which she didn't because they irritated her. But this time was different. She wanted to hug and kiss this guy with all her mind.

"Belle , get in the car" he said.

She didn't know that she had been standing by the door of the car for four minutes without moving. Erebos might have think she was mad after he said he liked her.

"Oh, am coming" Bellezza entered the car. She wasn't comfortable sitting in the front with him. She wished he could stop looking at her , because all these were made her want to kiss him the more.

"Why are you silent belle?" He interrupted her thoughts.

"Did you say anything to me?" she gave him a I was lost smile.

"What are thinking? Do you want to share??" He started the car. Just when he was about to take off, Bellezza drew closer and kissed his cheeks. Erebos eyes widened, quickly stopped the car.

"Am sorry" was all Bellezza could say. She looked up to see his angry face but she was disappointed with what she saw. Erebos was smiling and the smile turned into laughter gradually.

"What's funny?" She asked with a angry face.

"No offense but you don't know how to kiss Belle" he laughed again.

What! Bellezza was more angry. That was the best kiss she could ever give and all the receiver could do was to laugh and tell her that she was a bad kisser.

"am I so bad? "

"Not really but I can teach you if you want" he gave a smirk and started the car again.

"I didn't know you were the lecturer of kiss from love department."

"Now that you are aware, I hope you won't miss your classes?"

"C'mon" she said. Bellezza was being shy again, the sleeves of the shirt she wore got tired of the way she folded and unfolded it each minute she couldn't looked up.

Erebos didn't say anything to her through out their drive home. She wanted to say something but she stopped. Her mind shifted back to her thoughts and deep inside she wanted a kiss from this lecturer of kiss.
