Chapter 25: The Kiss

#16 in Romance yass bitches!

"Bella, get up!" A voice screamed in Isabella's right ear and her eyes shot open. She looked around to find who that voice belonged to and saw Ellie standing in her room, grinning at her.

"Why are you up so early?" Isabella groaned as she tried to go back to bed but Ellie grabbed her arm, making her sit straight.

"Early? It's already 12 pm, now get up" Ellie said pulling her up from the bed

"How can you be so cheery in the morning after getting wasted the night before?" Isabella groaned once again. The images of her dancing with Seth came back to her mind, making her blush in the process.

"Are you blushing?" Ellie asked, confused

"Hub, no w-why would I blush?" Isabella said

"Hm, now get up. Lover boy is waiting for you downstairs" Ellie said and Isabella looked at her confused

"Lover boy?"

"Yeah, lover boy now get up" Ellie said as she managed to pull her up from the bed and started pushing her towards the bathroom.

"I heard you the first time, now tell me who the heck is lover boy?" Isabella asked, annoyed. She just wanted to sleep the whole Sunday.

"Lover boy means Seth now go get a shower, you stink" Ellie said

"Wait wait, why the heck Seth is downstairs?" Isabella whispered. She couldn't even have the courage to face him not after what happened last night.

"I don't know, he just said he wanted to talk to you" Ellie said as she pulled out Isabella's clothes from her closet.

"And you just let him in?" Isabella said running a hand through her hair

"Of course, what was I supposed to do? Say 'no you are not welcomed here, Bella is still sleeping' ?" Isabella just nodded as she went in the bathroom.

She walked out of the bathroom, wrapping a towel around herself and looked towards the bed to find her clothes already lying there, she quickly got dressed and applied mascara and lip gloss. She pulled up her hair in a ponytail, and walked downstairs.

She walked downstairs, her eyes on the stairs. She walked into the living room and found Seth sitting on the couch, watching football on the TV. She cleared her throat to gain his attention.

"Hi" He said as he stood up and walked towards her.

"Hi" She muttered lowly, after a moment of silence between them she spoke "So, what are you doing here?"

"Uhm, I wanted you to accompany me to somewhere" He said

"Oh, is there an urgent meeting? Just give me ten minutes to get dressed-" Isabella started but he cut her off

"No, there's no urgent meeting. Actually I want you to come with me somewhere" He said

"Where?" She asked

"You'll eventually find out, come on" He said as he walked outside the living room

"Y-you can't just order me around. It's Sunday and I'm off from work and I need to get sleep. I-I'm not going anywhere" She stuttered

"You have only five minutes, Miss Smith" He said smirking as he walked out of her apartment

Isabella sighed and went to grab her purse and phone knowing that she will eventually have to go with him because he doesn't listen to anyone. She locked the main door once she got out of the apartment and saw Seth leaning against his car typing something on his phone and his eyes were covered with shades. Isabella took this time to check him out. He was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. She shivered as she saw his 8 packs visible through his white shirt. Oh how she would love to run a hand through them-

Snap out of it, Bella she thought as she walked towards him and cleared her throat. He looked up and smiled at her, yes people he smiled not smirked. He opened the door of the passanger's side of his car and she slid in the car. He walked towards the driver's side and slid inside as he started the engine.

The ride was comfortably silent. After driving for about half an hour they reached the destination. Isabella looked around and found a building beautiful building. They got out of the car and walked inside the building, Seth nodding at the receptionist. He called the elvator and they walked inside. The elvator doors closed and Isabella looked towards Seth with a confused expression.

"Where are we?" Isabella asked

"In an elevator" Seth shrugged

"Oh God, really?" Isabella said

"Yep" He said as he smirked

"Look, tell me where are we. You just dragged me here and you're not even telling me where are we, for God's sake I didn't even have breakfast-" He cut her off by placing his index finger on her lips

"You talk too much, don't you?" Seth said as he pulled back when the elevator doors opened. He walked out of the elevator with a flushed Isabella following behind. He typed in some code and the doors to the penthouse opened. They entered inside and Isabella looked around the surrounding in complete awe.

They were standing in the living room and the place was beyond gorgeous. "This is my penthouse" A voice spoke from her behind causing her to turn around. She looked at him in shock, it was the first time she was in his house and was a little nervous.

"This place is really gorgeous" Isabella complimented

"Would you like something to eat as 'you didn't even have breakfast'?" Seth spoke the last part in a high pitched voice which caused Isabella to laugh

"I don't sound like that" Isabella said

"Sure" Seth rolled his eyes playfully as he went in the kitchen and heated the pancakes which he cooked this morning. Seth in a playful mood was a first, she never thought the man in that suit and tie would be like this. Isabella went and sat on the chair of the dining table.

"You didn't tell me why you brought me here" Isabella said as she played with her fingers.

"I need to paint my living room" He said as he came towards the table and sat across her with the pancakes

"So you brought me here to paint your living room?" Isabella asked in disbelief. He ruined her Sunday sleep for painting his living room?

"Yes, we both are going to paint it" He said as he placed a piece of pancake in his mouth

"You can always get workers to paint your living room, why did you bother with me?" Isabella said whining slightly

"I wanted to paint it myself and I thought you could give me some company" He said smirking causing her to look away in embarrassment

"Okay" Isabella replied.

"Make yourself at home, I'm just going to take a shower. I'll be right back in 10 minutes and don't bother with the dishes, Martha will clean them" Seth said as he stood up from the chair

"Martha?" The words slipped from Isabella's mouth without her noticing. She was curious about who this Martha was.

"My house maid" Seth said as he walked closer to her " Getting jealous now, are we Miss. Smith?" He said as he placed his hand on the chair on which Isabella was sitting and leaned in

"N-no, why would I be j-jealous?" Isabella managed to stutter out feeling the heat rising up her cheek

"Mhmm" Seth said shaking his head as he gave her one last smirk and went away.

Isabella just went in the living room and looked around but she didn't saw the need of painting the walls maybe these thoughts were just passing through her mind because she was lazy. She found the remote on the sofa and turned on the TV as she settled on some cookin h show which was boring the heck out of her. She turned off the TV and started playing games in her phone.

It had been 20 minutes but Seth was still nowhere in her sight so she just decided to find him

She walked out of the living room and turned to her right which was a hallway. She slowly opened the door to one of the rooms and saw that there was this huge office. She closed the door and walked ahead and opened the door to another room. It was a gaming room with a huge TV on one of the walls and other gaming stuff. There was only one room remaining in the hallway which looked like a guest room so she went towards the left hallway. There were two rooms there so she opened the door to the nearest one and saw a huge room with a king sized bed in the centre of the room. The furniture was all black colored while the walls were gray colored with black and gray curtains. She walked into the room and looked around and saw pictures which mostly consisted of Seth and his parents. The room was messy so she decided to pick up the dirty clothes and put them in the laundry basket. She heard the door of the bathroom unlocked and stood up immediately from her crouching position. She turned around and found Seth standing in all his glory in just a towel wrapped around his waist. Water droplets were running down from his bare chest. Oh how would I love to run a hand through them, snap out of it, Bella. This was the second time on the day she wanted to run a hand through his abs.

"Uhm, I-I'm sorry, y-you said you'll be there in 10 minutes but it had been 20 minutes so I-I just came to see if everything was okay or not" Isabella said looking down

"Oh it's okay, I was just having problem with the tap, I need to call the plumber soon" Seth said as he ran a hand through his wet hair causing Isabella to lick her bottom lip wanting to run a hand through them too.

"I'll just wait in the uh living room" Isabella muttered as she walked out of his room, breathing hard

Painting the living room took them 3 hours, well not the whole living room but only a wall which was the plan. Isabella was covered in paint and some of it was stuck in her hair too.

"You should take a shower" Seth said and Isabella nodded. Seth handed her one of his t-shirt and trousers as he didn't really have women clothing in his house.

Isabella showered quickly and slipped in his clothes which smelled like him but the main problem was that the trousers were very loose and they didn't stick in one place. She felt like as if she would take one step, the trouser would fall off which would be pretty embarrassing so she decided to ditch the trousers as the shirt reached just above her knees. She walked in the living room and found Seth watching football. He heard her footsteps and looked up to her only to find his eyes roaming on her legs. Isabella cleared her throat as she sat down beside him on the sofa leaving enough distance between them.

"So, are you trying to make me paint another room for you?" Isabella asked trying to clear the awkwardness.

"No, but if you want to-" Seth started but Isabella cut him off by shaking her head.

He chuckled as he leaned closer to her and she looked towards him feeling her breath hitch in her throat. He wrapped his right arm around her waist and before Isabella could even say anything, he started tickling her which caused her to laugh out loud."S-stop!"She exclaimed. Somehow between the tickles, Isabella ended on top of him, hovering him.

He stared in her eyes and pulled her closer to him by grabbing her hips. Isabella gasped as she placed her hand on the back of his kneck. He picked a strand of her hair and twirled it around his finger making her shiver. He placed the strand on the back of her ear and glanced at her lips as she did the same. Isabella's heart was hammering against her chest as she realized what was going to happen. She wanted him to kiss her, she wanted to feel his lips against hers.

Seth pulled her closer and in a second, his lips met hers causing butterflies to erupt in her stomach. She started kissing him back and their lips moved together in sync. He ran his hand on her thighs and Isabella let out a moan causing him to smile between the kiss. She ran her hand through his hair, loving the feel of his soft hair between her fingers. The kiss was filled with need and passion, making them lose control. They pulled back for catching a breath.

This was the moment when both sat staring in each other's eyes and it was the same moment when Isabella realized how much she liked her boss.
