A Hot First Kiss

Chapter 6: Edited

*Continuation of Flashback*

Kevin did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know the girl, but now, he was responsible for comforting her.

Yes, he did promise himself that he would pay back Mathilda, no matter how small or how big the favor was and no matter the consequences. But he never knew he would pay her back in this kind of way.

Clack.

While he was contemplating over what to do, he unknowingly tightly clutched the curtain and accidentally opened it, making a clatter that was loud enough for the girl to spot him.

"Shit," Kevin muttered.

He didn't know why but he felt like questioning the meaning of life at this moment.

With her skills, she did not have to spare an ounce of effort to know someone was there. But because she was hurt emotionally, her five senses, or maybe ten or more senses, were not working.

Even an average person would react to the sound and look towards his direction, but she simply stayed in the same position as before with her mind blacked out, as if she was just a doll and not a person.

Seeing that doll-like state of hers made him question the meaning of life even more.

Comforting others with measly kind words were as easy as pie to him. However, right now, it felt as hard as an iron.

He didn't know why but his heart felt crushed from the way she seemed so devoid of life.

"Hey, uhmm.. girl over there..." Kevin stuttered.

'Oh great. What a great start, Kevin. Just what we need. Fantastic. Standing ovation.'

"Shut up."

Great! Now, he was talking to himself, but instead of thinking, he said it out loud!

Kevin carefully looked back at the girl for any negative reaction.

Fortunately, the girl still had no reaction or he would have lost almost all chances to make a good first impression in front of her and win her heart back. Wait, did he just say that?

"Oy, female." Great, now he sounded like his damn twin.

Where's a book on how to comfort females when you needed one?

Seeing her with absolutely no reaction, Kevin became increasingly worried.

Wait, that's weird. He never worried over anyone, not even his own family. Yet here he was, worried for a stranger he had never met, a very beautiful one at that.

Wait, did he just say that?

Out of instinct and worry, he walked over towards her direction and saw something that unnerved him the most.

She was so lost in her thoughts that it was as if her soul was wandering around, leaving her body lifeless, frozen, and cold. Worried to the bone, Kevin went in front of her and slightly waved his hands at her face, but there was no reaction.

Great. Now, what the hell did Mathilda say for his beloved to end up like this?

Wait, did he just say that?

Kevin had many problems. But he needed to prioritize her's first.

Hell, he did not just say that.

This time, by instinct, his hands directly touched her soft delicate shoulders. He immediately felt the sparks and tingles but he disregarded it because of his worry for her which outweighed the feeling of being electrocuted.

Kevin shook her gently to see if there was any reaction. Inwardly, he felt guilty. He felt like he was experimenting with a guinea pig. All hell may break loose but his beloved was not a guinea pig but a sexy guinea pig!

Hell, he did not just say that!

And indeed, that warm touch, similar to what she had experienced several moments ago with Mathilda, brought her back to reality.

She did not know how the handsome young man ended up in front of her or why he looked so worried. But, what she did know was that his gentle touch was very comforting to her body, soul, and heart that had bottled up so many emotions enough to last her a lifetime.

Then, she could barely contain it.

Without knowing or realizing it, her eyes blurred and tears flowed down her face as she looked up at him in the eye.

"Hiccup..."

Subconsciously shivering, the girl looked very delicate and vulnerable, just like a beautiful vase that could break from a mere touch.

Deep down inside, Kevin felt extreme anger from the thought of some culprit making his beloved sweetheart cry. If they dared to lay even one finger on her, he'd cut them all off from the face of this earth!

Hell, he did not just say that!

Secretly taking deep breaths, he set his anger aside and focused on the vulnerable beauty in front of him who seemed to break from a mere touch. He did not care if she broke from his touch because her eyes showed her intense need for comfort.

As long as he could be that comfort, Kevin did not care if he broke her. She needed him.

Without her permission, Kevin sat beside her and gently yet strongly embraced her soft body within his arms.

She was so shocked that she squirmed a bit, but he was like a solid rock, not budging an inch. For her level of skills, she could easily back away with a swipe of her hand, but now, it was like her whole body had forgotten how to move.

Seeing that she could not break free no matter how much effort she put, she concluded it was due to her emotional state. Hence, she stopped uselessly squirming about and yielded into his gentle embrace.

She leaned her head onto his neck and her arms went around him with her hands hesitantly touching his firm back now and then.

Feeling the entirety of his embrace on her upper body, warmth spread onto her whole being while tears continuously flowed from her eyes towards his collar and neck.

While doing her best so that she could not be heard, she sniffled, hiccuped, and mumbled very faint words onto his neck, making her soft lips lightly touch his neck like a tender kiss with every word she speaks.

"*hiccup* Bottling... it.. up? *hiccup* How can I... *sniff* not bottle.... my feelings... up? *hiccup*... I have..... *sniff* no one.... with me *hiccup* No one... who loves me. *hiccup* I'm trying... *sniff* so... so hard... *more tears flowed* Hard for her..... *hiccup*... to accept me... I've given... *sniff*... everything. *hiccup*..."

Unfortunately for her, Kevin had heard everything, since he was also in the clinic where the slightest movement, including her tears, soft whimpers, and hiccups, could be heard.

Feeling how soft and perfect she was in his embrace as if she really belonged there, his being should have been brimming with joy. But the feeling of her warm tears on his neck and the words she uttered, all breaking her into pieces, sucked the joy out of him.

She continued mumbling words that sounded vague and inaudible. But those inaudible words were the most important for it came from her heart.

"Mom, I will try my best to be obedient. I will do my best to give you anything you ask for, whether it would be my sleep, my sweat, my blood, my money... Anything at all. Even everything I own. But, please... Don't be mad if I have something to ask from you, too. It's just something small... But something I yearn... for my whole life. Please listen, all I ask is for you to love me, or just care for me... Actually, anything will do. Just don't abandon me... Don't leave me; don't... leave me... please..." Her heart cried out.

Yet, despite how loud her heart cried out, no one heard her, not even her own mother.

As a 15-year-old teenage girl, her heart was still but a child who had yet to experience any familial love or even the basics of human emotions. For a long time, she had lived suppressing the surge of emotions that she thought was selfish. As long as the person who was hurt was none other than herself, she would do her best to keep it to herself.

Yet, here she was now, crying, like a baby, in the arms of a stranger and mumbling her heart's deepest yearnings for the very first time.

The girl did not notice that the young man beside her, who was embracing her like a treasure, had actually heard her every word. Aside from the obscure and inhuman-like words she uttered, which actually came from her heart, he still heard her mumble her very last words her heart longed for, which just barely sounded human-like.

With the help of his adrenaline rushing through his veins, Kevin heard her say, "Don't... leave me... please..."

Hearing what she said, Kevin felt like his heart was torn away from his body, leaving only an empty hole. Seeing her like this made him truly feel what it was like to have pain. Her pain. This pain made his heart awfully hurt to no end and gave birth to another new experience.

Yet again, He did not know why he felt this way. All he knew was that he did not want to let her go. No, he would never let her go.

His right hand stroked her head that leaned on to his firm neck while gently yet firmly clutching her long luscious black gorgeous hair. Meanwhile, his left hand gripped and fastened onto her slim waist, bringing her impossibly closer to him and making her soft mounds crush onto his flat chest until their bodies melted into one that not even an inch was left in between them.

Feeling her entirety within his arms, he still felt it was not enough and tightened the hold around her body, crushing her body even more into his arms. When he tightened his hold, their positions changed and the girl never noticed she was straddling his lap, with only her school mini-skirt, her plain underwear, and his own clothes shielding her from him.

His deep voice answered in a stern and resolute tone, "Don't worry… I will neither leave you nor will I ever let you go."

Whether this was a curse or a blessing, only time could tell.

Hearing his soothing answer just as if it were her mother speaking, her heart lightened and felt so relieved that this time, she was the one tightening her hold onto him by clutching the back of his clothes as if replying to him that she too would never let go.

[This, my friends, was the epitome of motherzone.]

With barely heard hiccups, she buried her face between his neck and chest, heavily breathing onto the intoxicating manly scent of his body and silently sobbing away the emotions that she held on for too long.

Even though she could barely breathe, the girl felt so wonderfully safe in his arms that she did not even notice it herself. Nonetheless, it was this feeling of warmth that she had never experienced which she was willing to die for. Being deeply intoxicated in the comfort of the man in front of her, she soon relaxed her body from constantly shivering and whimpering and drifted into a deep and sweet slumber for the very first time in a long while.

Her body's subliminal response indicated just how much she trusted the teen embracing her.

What she thought of, before instinctively falling into a sweet slumber, was the fact that she now owed a huge debt to the old nurse who taught her love, warmth, and affection or simply, the basics of human emotions for the very first time in the fifteen years she had lived.

She faced him while earnestly smiling from the bottom of her heart. With deep love and affection, she genuinely smiled, thinking of how those harsh experiences were worth it to gain what her heart had yearned for.

"Thank you..."

Then, she happily slept in his arms.

Once he saw her genuine loving smile with an imaginary rose-tinted filter, he stiffened yet again.

This time, a super huge cupid arrow struck his heart, leaving an invisible bloody mess to their surroundings. He gazed lovingly at the girl sleeping in his arms and was, at the same time, stupefied.

Ever since he first saw her, he actually fell in love!

Wait, did he just say that?

Hell, he actually just said that!

This so-called, "love at first sight," in fairytales was actually happening to him!

Wait, did he just say that?

Hell, he actually just said that!

No wonder he was making all these stupid mistakes...

[Just admit you are stupid.] A voice mocked.

He could happily die at this moment. Now, to die or not to die?

Realizing that she was now completely in his possession, his entire face blushed, his heart raced, and he now became aware of their indecent position, which made his manhood below her womanhood rise with passion. Moreover, the thin line of clothing and him tightly imprisoning her within his arms until they merged into one being only enlarged his arousal all the more.

Maybe it was better to die later.

Kevin always thought that he was impotent or asexual because he never cared about the temptations and workings of the human body. His arousal just proved otherwise.

Restlessness now filled his entire being as his instincts tempted him to devour the sweet girl in his arms.

But when he saw her serene smile, he thought that now was not yet the right time. She trusted him and that was why she obediently accepted his embrace. With barely enough power to hold on to that last piece of morality, Kevin reluctantly separated from her clutches and carefully picked her up in a princess carry.

He headed towards the bed he last slept on and gently placed her there. After making sure that the girl was comfortable, he lay down beside her and placed her head above his firm left arm, making it easier for him to embrace her.

Finally being satisfied with their position, Kevin gently yet firmly and tightly encased her within his arms, feeling her faint breathing and the entirety of her warm soft body as if she was his favorite teddy bear. Even the tingles, which felt weird at first, felt perfect. Each tingle seemed like it was stating that this was the place where she belonged.

While in a very cozy position, he tenderly caressed her face and lovingly stared at her for a long while, taking note of every beautiful feature and perfect imperfection.

Because of the gentle glow of the sunlight that was shown through the semi-transparent curtain of the window, her luscious black hair, perfect beautiful face, and entire body seemed to glow golden as if she was a goddess that would vanish at any given point in time.

The girl he fell in love with at first sight was devastatingly beautiful. Her beauty brought with it a strong impulse to lock her in his arms and keep her away from prying eyes forever.

Although he neither knew her name nor anything about her as of the moment, he vowed to know everything about her very soon.

Right now, he looked like a hunter eyeing his prey and he did not even realize it.

Kevin also did not realize that he had affectionately kissed her soft plump red lips without her consent. He only realized it immediately once their lips had touched.

This was the first time he kissed a girl, moreso shared a bed with her. He did not become nervous or think of the consequences of his actions. He only followed his instincts, because it just felt right.

If he could not do it all the way, then he should at least receive a reward for the suffering she had unknowingly placed onto him, he thought.

Loving the feeling of her lips against his, he stayed in that position, kissing her while embracing her, for quite some time and then drifted off into a sweet slumber for the first time in a long while, without realizing that he actually forgot to fully part his lips from hers and satisfy his manhood that was passionately standing with anger due to the loss of attention.

[How he could sleep with such strong arousal, only he could ever answer.]

Out of instinct, Kevin pulled up the blanket to cover their whole body, including their face, for safety measures.

[How funny, he actually forgot to part their lips but was still able to cover their faces with a blanket. Hmm...]

Before sleeping, Kevin was extremely grateful to that old nurse and mentally noted that he owed her big time. He took back that curse to Mathilda a while ago and vowed to do anything for Mathilda, whether it was against the law or not.

His other thoughts were his anticipation for a future together with the girl in his arms. They still had many more things to go through and he hoped that after every trial, they would succeed with a happy ending.

However, what Kevin did not know of was how the girl in his arms had instinctively thought of him as her actual mother all this time.

[Sweet dreams, mother Kevin. You are truly a man among men.]
