The tension in the dining room was so thick, I could feel it.
The only sounds that could be heard were utensils hitting the plates. I rushed my food down and stood up.
"Am going for a walk". I suddenly announced and without waiting for his response I headed to the front door.
"I'll come with you". I heard his soft voice say almost reluctantly.
I opened my mouth to protest but he was already beside me and opening the door for me to step out.
"I know for a fact that you don't know anywhere or anyone around here so... I can't risk you going missing. Plus my dad will kill me". He finished in a breath. "Plus, I'd probably miss you", he added in a low voice. Before I could process what that last line had entailed he had grabbed my hand and soon we were out the door.
His palm felt warm against mine and I wanted it to stay right where it was but my brain finally started working again and I pulled away from his grip and shoved my hands in the pockets of my Nike shorts.
I didn't look at his face as I walked in front. I had absolutely no idea of where i was headed but i needed to get away from him.
My main intentions on coming this walk was to get fresh air but I guess that's too late now.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
That question stopped me dead in my tracks and he nearly walked into me.
"W- What!?". I turned to face him.
"Do you have a boyfriend?". He asked firmly gazing straight into my very soul.
"Am just curious", he amended yet I didn't reply. He shifted his eyes away from me and proceeded to walk away.
"No", my stupid mouth gasped out and I suddenly felt a megaload of guilt descend on me. But before I could say anything else, Dune turned to face me.
He looked surprised then cautious.
We both stared at each other and suddenly there was no denying the connection we had for each other.
He took a step towards me, then another, till our noses were nearly touching then he tucked in a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
"Well then lucky me", he said in a hot whisper against my face before crashing his lips on mine. It. Was. Amazing! And ij less than a second I was kissing him back.
He broke the kiss but before I could protest he pulled me into a dark alleyway and pushed me towards a walk and once again our lips met in a passionate kiss.
I moaned against his lips as my hands went behind his hand to tangle up in his dark locks before pulling him even closer.
His hands ran across my sides and finally settled on my hips. We soon separated for air and as soon as his mouth left mine , it latched onto my neck.
With a low moan, I arched my back to give him better access. My eyes were glazed over as I pulled his face back to mine and kissed him once more.
Suddenly, I became aware of our location plus the growing bulge that was pressed against me and broke the kiss.
"Okay. Too far. Too far". I said in-between pants. We worked hastily to fix our appearance.
Once we were done Dune grabbed my hand and i didn't pull away this time.
"Well, let's continue our walk".
