Lovely Desire by Breanna Davis (self help books to read TXT) 📖

“Right,” he said and walked into the house, trudging the bag along with him.
Kyle came into view, a beautiful smile on his face. He immediately grabbed me into his arms. I kissed him on the lips and wrapped my arms around his neck.
“Hey, Kyle,” I said softly. I pecked his lips again. “I missed you.”
He chuckled and bent down to kiss me again. The kiss didn’t send shivers down my spine as I expected, but it taste delicious, so I deepened the kiss more. Kyle’s tongue was invading my mouth when a hand tapped on my shoulder.
I jumped and turned around to see my dad. He had a stern look on his face, directed towards Kyle. I blushed and smiled.
“Hi, Daddy,” I said enthusiastically.
He ignored my cheerfulness and glared at Kyle. He pointed is finger at Kyle. “What the hell is he doing here?” he asked gruffly. I bit my bottom lip and gently shoved my dad.
“We’re dating again, dad.” I reminded him.
When I had told him and my mom that I and Kyle were dating again, they didn’t take it . . . lightly. I had to sit and endure a hour long speech about safety in a relationship. The whole time, my face was red and I was hoping the speech ended soon. When it did end, my father said that if Kyle hurt me again that he’ll kill him with his bare hands. At first, I doubted he would even throw a punch Kyle’s way, but now as I looked at the hatred clear in his blue eyes, I knew he probably would commit a homicide. I shivered involuntarily.
“That doesn’t mean I want him in my house!” my dad bellowed.
I groaned. “Dad, you and mom said you trusted us not to do anything!” I argued.
My dad huffed. “Your mother forced me to say those incompetent words! I want him out!” My dad’s face was turning red with anger.
“Dad! Kyle’s staying and that’s that.” I smirked. “Unless you want me to tell mom.” I said and crossed my arms. My dad narrowed his eyes, gave another huff, and walked into the opposite direction muttering, “I’ll kill him,”
I sighed, glad that the worst was over. I turned back towards Kyle who was as pale as snow. I rubbed his arms comfortably.
“He won’t try anything, Kyle.” I assured him.
He gave a sheepish smile and allowed me to pull him all the way into the house.
At about eleven o’ clock, we were in the living room sitting down in a circle. The boys had changed into their PJ’s which was basically a pair of pants without a shirt. Kind of distracting, but Kyle nor Leo could compare to Trent’s rock hard chest . . . I shook my head and met Jamie’s eyes who had a huge smile on her face. I groaned and looked anywhere other than Jamie.
“Faith,” she took a dramatic breath. “Truth or Dare?” I glared at her while I sighed and chose the easiest one.
“Truth,” I say immediately. Jamie groans.
“You suck!”
I rolled my eyes. “Hurry up, Jamie. I don’t have all night.” I pointed out. She stuck her tongue out at me before she spoke.
“Is it true that you dated someone else when you and Kyle were on a break?” she said and smirked. I narrowed my eyes at her. Small, but so evil.
Actually, I wasn’t sure . . . Were I and Trent actually dating or were we just . . . kissing buddies? Well, sure it was that dream that I swore was real. But, it couldn’t have been because I woke up in my bed and Leo told me that he came straight here and nowhere else. In my dream, Trent said he loved me, and it felt as if he were talking to me through my dreams. I shook my head. Right . . . I was deluding myself into thinking the impossible – again. I also deluded myself into thinking I and Trent has a bond. It was pretty stupid to think, but yet a part of me is telling me that we did have a bond and that Trent was indeed talking to me through my dreams . . . that Trent loved me. Whoa, slow your road, Faith, I thought to myself. We’re talking about your teacher here! Snap out of it, Faith! It’s been a month since that stupid dream. Get. Over. It!
I nodded mentally and looked at Kyle. He went as stiff as board of wood, waiting for my answer. Truthfully, I didn’t know what the answer was, but I had to say something. So, I went with the safe answer.
“Nope!” I said and immediately turned towards Leo.
“Truth or Dare?”
Leo smirked. “Dare. I’m not scared like you.”
I laughed. “Whatever,” I looked around my living room and smirked when I thought of something.
“I dare you to stick your tongue in the toilet.” I said with a proud grin.
Leo’s eyes went wide and I could tell he wasn’t expecting me to come up with such a good dare. He twiddled his fingers, determining whether or not he should do it. Finally, he turned towards Jamie.
“If I do stick my tongue in the toilet, would you ever kiss me again?” he asked innocently. Jamie blushed.
“Of course.”
Leo smiled widely and hugged Jamie. “I would kiss you if you stuck your tongue in a toilet, too.” He complimented her. Jamie blushed a deeper red as Leo pulled back. He faced me.
“Let’s go. I would love an audience!” he boasted. I laughed and Jamie and Kyle joined me. I stood up still laughing. I eyed Leo suspiciously.
“And you’re not going to chicken out?” I question. He laughed and nudged me with his shoulder.
“Maybe it’s my dream to live like a dog,” he joked. I scrunched up my nose at him. He laughed his loud exuberant laugh before throwing his arm around Jamie’s tiny waist. He pulled her to his side and laid a wet kiss on her cheek. She giggled.
“This is going to be gross,” I heard Kyle mumbled next to me. I laughed and gave him a hug.
“I’ll hold your hand every step of the way,” I joked. He smiled and grabbed my hand.
It wasn’t until Leo’s tongue touch the water in the toilet did I realize how crazy he truly was. I bent over in laughter as Leo rushed to sink to rinse out his mouth. Jamie was giggling like crazy that her face was turning pink. Kyle was looking like he might vomit at any second now and he hadn’t let go of my hand since we were in the living room. I couldn’t stop laughing and I felt happy . . . but I felt as if I could be happier. I shook the feeling away and kept laughing. I wiped away a few stray tears and reached in the cabinet and pulled out Listerine. I passed it to Leo and he gobbled it down. I laughed again with a shake of my head.
“I thought you wouldn’t do it,” I laughed again. “I’m proud of you, Leo.”
He flashed a smile before rinsing out his mouth. “You see, Faith. Isn’t it better when you’re not so dang responsible? Sometimes you have to let responsibilities go.” Leo commented. I shrugged, but deep inside I was thinking about his words.
In the past three months, I haven’t really been . . . responsible. Matter of fact, I’m absolutely different. And it all happened in three months. But, I still felt as if I should be responsible. But so far, being not responsible has brought me laughter and happiness. I wasn’t being responsible when I kissed Trent and that came out to be one of the best kisses in my life. But, I was over Trent and totally into Kyle, so I’m safe, right? Wait – am I even into Kyle? Of course, I am. The question was, was I over Trent Lawrence. My breathtaking teacher whom I still have heart stopping dreams about? I bit my bottom lip and looked at Kyle. If only he knew what I was thinking . . . I shook my head and smiled.
“So, anybody up for some food?” I asked.
Leo stop rinsing out his mouth to smile at me. “I’m always hungry.” Then, he looked at Jamie. “For food and the love of my life.” He grabbed her and twirled her in a circle before kissing her flat on the lips. Jamie was a bright red and giggling like a retarded person when he was done. I laughed and leaned against Kyle.
“Then, it’s settled. We’ll eat and continue this game later.”
We all agreed before heading for the kitchen.

I woke up when I felt something scratching against my face. I tried to push whatever it was away, but the scratching came more aggressively when I tried. When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t surprised to see Sophie standing over me with a intense look on her face. I gave her gentle push which sent her flying on her butt. She immediately started crying, which I was use to.
She had a sponge in her hand and I guess she was using the rough side to scrub my face. I glared at her and grabbed the sponge from her hand.
“Why do you insist on bothering me?" I questioned and stormed off to the kitchen. I tossed the sponge back in the sink and walked back into the living room to get Sophie. I picked her up and towed her up the stairs to her room.
“Let me go!” she protested. I shook my head, and tossed her on her bed before locking the door and closing it behind me. I had to deal with this one more year and then she was going to Pre-K. I kept on thinking this as I made my way back downstairs.
I realized the ruckus had woken up my guests. I gave them a apologetic smile.
“Sorry, it was Sophie. She does this to me every morning, so I’m sort of use to it now.” I said sheepishly.
Leo glared at me. “I don’t care! I need my beauty sleep. Do you think you can get this gorgeous over night?” he questioned before he pulled the sheets over his head. I looked over at Jamie. She shrugged at me.
“He is always this cranky when he wakes up,” she blushed. “But not to me.”
I cracked a smile and cocked a brow at her. Of course I knew he was always cranky in the morning. I’ve had sleepovers with him many times, but what I was wondering was how Jamie knew that.
“Um, how do you know, Jamie?” I asked. She blushed again.
“A-a lucky guess.” She stood up and excused herself before walking upstairs. I chuckled and sat down next to Kyle who was looking absolutely tired. His chocolate eyes were red and puffy.
“Aw, you didn’t get enough sleep?” I asked. He smiled, flashing his one dimple.
“Not really use to little kids waking me up. Only child, remember?” I laughed and placed his head in my lap.
“Well, I’m sorry about Sophie. She can be a real pest when she wants to be,” I stroked his sandy brown hair with a smile. “But, let me put you back to sleep, ok?”
He nodded with a smile on his face. I kissed his forehead and continued to stroke his sandy brown hair.
“I can get use to this,” he mumbled softly. I laughed softly. “Yeah, me too.”
He snuggled into my lap. “I love you, Faith.”
“I love you too, Kyle.”
I smiled down at him with a light blush on my cheeks. I felt like I was falling for Kyle all over again.
