I jumped, scared when I saw him standing up from the chair while I walked up the
few steps from the sand to the deck.
“What are you doing here?” I asked softly, a little embarrassed that I
hadn’t noticed him earlier and that he had to watch the previous exchange
between me and Cole.
"I
took the train in a little while ago, I have a meeting Monday so I’m giving
myself the day tomorrow to lock myself in the apartment and prepare for it.” He
said, looking to the box on the table, “I uh, grabbed a pizza from that place
you mentioned the other day, I thought maybe we could just hang low tonight and
relax…” he said smiling weakly. “I didn’t realize you would be busy. I should
have called.”
“i…uh…thank
you, I’m sorry I wasn’t here, there was this bonfire up the beach” I offered
sympathetically, motioning up the beach a little.
“So
was that your boyfriend or something?” he asked, surprising me a little at how
hurt he seemed by the word boyfriend.
“Cole?
No, I actually just met him at the party, he was nice enough to walk me home,”
I said softly, walking closer to him. Even after having such a good night with
Cole and my friends, I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed that I
didn’t have the opportunity to spend a lazy night in with this man I was dying
to know everything about.
“Maybe
I should just leave actually, I don’t want to intrude or ruin anything with
your friend...” he said, emphasizing the word friend.
“No!”
I said, laughing at how eager it came out, “I mean you have pizza, so why not
heat it up and we can talk or watch a movie?” I offered, still wanting to hang
out with him for a little bit. “I have beer.” I said holding up my little
cooler and smiling.
He
returned the smile, that instantly left goose bumps all over my body. I made my
way to the door, feeling him move across the deck and come up behind me as I
unlocked it. His arms started to run up and down mine, warming me up a little
as I fumbled with the key. I finally got it and led us inside, locking the door
behind us. I turned to follow him as he walk over to my kitchen and put the
pizza on the counter. “Does that need to be heated up?” I asked walking over
and putting the beer from my cooler back into the fridge, then sliding one over
to him.
“Yea
probably,” he said walking over and turning the oven on. I grabbed a pan and
put it on the stove top.
“Do
you mind heating this up while I do change into something more comfortable?” I
asked, looking over at him, as he started to put some slices on the pan.
“Sounds
good,” he said smiling.
I turned to go upstairs, just as his hand caught my
wrist and pulled me back to him. I giggled as he pulled me across the floor to
him, his arms pulling me up against him closely as he smirked down at me. “I
haven’t stopped thinking about your lips since the other day,” he whispered
before kissing me softly, just little pecks as he backed me up against the
counter, his arms wrapping around my waist, sliding under my butt and lifting
me up onto the counter. I giggled as he lifted me with such ease, my legs
spreading so he could stand between them as he moved in and kissed me more,
harder this time. My hands lifted up, running through his hair, gripping into
it a little as his tongue intertwined with mine. I moved back a little, sucking
playfully on his bottom lip as I pulled away. Looking into his eyes, I smiled,
leaning in to kiss him some more, unable to get enough. Just as my lips started
to brush against his, a loud bark from the living room distracted us both.
Turning reluctantly, there was Daisy, sitting in front of the back doors,
barking and wagging her tail, ready to go outside. I shook my head, a little
disappointed, but a little relieved she had interfered before things went too
far too fast. “I’ll take her out and put this pizza in, you go change,” Andrew
offered, his hands rubbing my thighs as he talked, squeezing them slightly
before sliding me off the counter and back onto my feet. I nodded my head
agreeing, unable to form normal words. The smack on my ass as I turned to go to
my room didn’t help either.
My
mind was spinning.
Andrew seems so addicting! Such a good entry.
