"No. That's all you are right? The boss's pet? You're a fucking puppy for my father so that's why you're here? That's all you'll ever be right? The boss’s fucking puppy-"
I can't continue my rant because I feel his soft lips smash into mine.
I place my hands on his chest to push him away but instead I stand there, shocked for a couple of seconds before I fall deep into the kiss, moving my lips along with his. Our lips seem to melt into one another. Rowan grabs a hold of my chin while he licks my bottom lip before forcing his tongue in my mouth.
My eyes squeeze shut and my hands on his chest grip his shirt as I try to lean closer into him for more of the feeling he is giving me. It's like I am running out of air and kissing him is the only thing that will save me.
Rowan's other hand slides down my body until it rests on my hip, and he pulls me closer into his embrace.
As I start to rock my body into his, Rowan's backs away from me but still keeps his hand on my hip and chin. "Make no mistake, I want you, but you have a whole ass party downstairs," Rowan says in a breathy tone and now that we stopped kissing I can hear how much my breathing has picked up. I feel hot everywhere and then the tingle in my stomach feels like it's going lower and lower. "But now that you have stopped bitching, can we go downstairs to see your family and act like you are actually happy you see them?"
How can Iactlike I am happy to see them when all I want to do is stay here in my room with you, kissing you until I can't breathe anymore?
But instead of saying that I just nod my head at Rowan.
"Perfect. Then let's go."

The party yesterday was okay.
I mostly watched everyone mingle and talk. Some people came up to me and said ‘happy birthday’ and gave me presents.
I think the gift Aria gave me was my favorite. It was a simple gold necklace with a small heart pendant. I love how simple it is and how it can match anything I wear.
I am wearing it now and will probably continue to wear it because of how much I love it.
At work today, all the kids also gave me small cards and Katlyn said they baked cupcakes for me the other day. The cupcakes had white frosting and were chocolate cake, my favorite.
We finished having the cupcakes a few minutes ago and now the kids are all a little more hyper than they normally are, and they are playing some games with one another.
I look away from the kids and pick up the box filled with new books for our library. Katlyn ordered a bunch of new books for our reading corner but she told me to put the box on one of the shelves so that we can rearrange the bookshelf when none of the kids are here, which will probably be a weekend.
While trying to reach the top shelf I feel a tap on my shoulder making me turn my head and see Callan with a soft smile on his face.
"You need help?"he asks and I nod my head and smile at him.
Callan grabs the box from me and reaches up and puts it on the top shelf."Thank you."
"It's nothing. I could tell you were struggling,"Callan says with a teasing smile.
I lightly punch his arm and he playfully pushes me away.
Callan's eyes move away from me and I see him eye something behind me.
Before I can turn around and look, I feel a warm arm snake around my waist and my back meets a warm body.
I get turned around.
My eyes meet Rowan and I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach as I think about yesterday when he kissed me.
Rowan doesn't know this, but that kiss was quite possibly the best kiss I've ever had. No one has kissed me like that before. I can't help but feel the need to pull Rowan closer to me and put my mouth on his.
I can't help but smile at him. "What are you doing?" Rowan looks down at me before looking up at Callan.
"Callan was helping me put something on the shelf."
