No One But You novel Chapter 89

He closed the door and pushed me against it. Then he held the door with both hands, keeping me between his arms.

I could get out of his arms with a little squatting, but I didn't.

His breath made me dizzy.

I lied just now. I said I never loved Calvin.

But I knew I was in love with him.

Love, made me indecisive, also made me pain.

But I had to act like I didn't care about him at all.

I didn't want Calvin to see my mind, or I would lose.

His breath, the scent of peppermint shampoo, was very fresh.

"Josephine." His voice was a little hoarse, and it ran roughly over my heart.

I didn't know what he was going to say to me, but I was terrified of what he was going to say.

Because I remembered every word he said.

If there was anyone in the world who could hurt me, it was him.

He was able not only to give me warmth, but also hurt me badly.

I didn't want him to hurt me again because of Bonnie.

I look tough, but only I knew where I was hurt.

One of his hands suddenly clambered up my cheek, and his fingers were startlingly cold.

His eyes suddenly were in a tangle of pain.

Suddenly he held me in his arms, with his chin rest in my neck and his lips in my hair. Finally I felt the burn of his lips on my shoulder.

I knew in my heart that it was wrong.

Knowing that we had no possibility to back to each other, we should not tangle with others and hurt ourselves in the end.

I would not only hurt ourselves, but also Brooke.

I struggled, but I failed to break free.

I had changed from pushing him to holding him around the waist.

I suddenly found that I loved this embrace, especially at this time.

I was so wrapped up in his arms that I forgot what I had to do was to stomp on him and push him away.

But I didn't.

He held me for a long time. Water from his hair got into my collar and ran down my collarbone.

What finally woke us up was an urgent knock on the door. There were many people outside.

There was a lot of noise, which was from Fairy Dixon, Georgia (Brooke’s birth mother) and her husband, Philip Knight.

They seemed to come to catch adultery.

We parted at once, as if we were burning.

I adjusted my collar and gave him a dirty look.

I came to quarrel with him. If I was not hugged by him, I would not be caught.

I had been more and more passive in my life.

I organized my clothes and pulled open the door so hard that the person outside nearly ran into me.

"Calvin, you..." Fairy Dixon wronged voice came from behind.

I knew it was her. I went to her room to look for Calvin, and she went to get help.

How stupid she was. If I were her, I would ask for help and not show up!
