So I decided to turn this into a series of one shots! Some of them romantic, some humorous, some angsty, some with Sweets, some with Parker, some with Angela- yah get the picture.
please review!
"So those are your favorite fruit?" He asked as the small bowl of strawberries and whipped cream was set in front of her by the waitress.
"Actually, yes. It's nice that they updated the menu to include this, it reminds me of when I was little," the right corner of her mouth wound its way up into a grin as she recalled her past memories, "my mom used to make strawberries and cool whip every fourth of July when we watched fireworks on the back porch." She got that far off look in her eyes for a split second, but she eventually came back, seeing his lively face from across the table, sipping his coffee as par.
"What about you?" She asked, lifting her glass of orange juice to her mouth.
"I'm not a berry kind of guy. Just never got the attraction." He shrugged, setting his mug down and taking a bit of his hash browns.
She nodded as two of her slender, careful fingers reached the bowl, picking up one of the tantalizing fruits.
"I'm not sure what it is, but there's just something about them…" She replied to his comment, placing her mouth around the red bulb covered in light, fluffy whipped cream.
"mmm…" She mumbled quietly as her teeth sunk into the red flesh of it. A small drop of crimson juice slid to the corner of her mouth, threatening to run down the side of her face.
He swallowed, taking another sip of his coffee, as he'd suddenly found his mouth in need of moisture.
She slowly slid the tip of her tongue to the left edge of her soft pink lips, catching the moisture before things got messy on the front of her white tee shirt.
"Possibly it's because they're so lustrous." She continued with the conversation that had had dropped well off the spectrum of his mind. She glanced down and saw the remains of the foamy cream left on her thumb.
"It sounds…stupid, but it's kind of like they're just bursting with juice that they can hardly contain themselves and then as soon as they hit your mouth they just…explode." She tried to explain. He nodded as he took at a stab at his sausage link.
She lifted her thumb to her mouth and stuck it in, sucking off the left over scrape of cream from her fingers.
He swallowed again.
"Plus, they're so sweet and ripe…You can't refrain from eating just one. Especially not on a hot day like this." She added, noting that a thin amount of sweat was beading on the back of her neck.
"It is pretty hot in here, isn't it...?" He choked out, loosening his tie so that it wasn't squeezing his neck so tightly.
She carefully, agonizingly slowly, lifted another strawberry to her mouth. She stuck it between her lips and licked it clean of it's white frosting before sinking her teeth into it.
"They're so…" She chewed and he could tell she was really trying to take in the flavor,
"Full and rich..." She concluded her tone completely innocent and void of a single hint of seduction. But he still couldn't keep his mind from whizzing around him.
Even though she was saying the words in the same tone she used when she was busy at work, leaning over a dead body, when 'lustrous, full, rich and ripe' passed her lips, he couldn't help but let his eyes wander to down her deep v-neck shirt that her lightly-beaded-with-sweat-from-this-massive-heat-wave breasts were peeking out of, taunting him.
Not to long after, she had finished and was dipping her finger lightly into the leftover whipped cream, raising it to her mouth and tightening her lips around her digit, cleaning the white silk from her finger.
Luckily for him, she only did so once and then pushed her bowl lightly toward the center of the table, indicating that she was done.
"You've hardly touched your food." She pointed out. It was true. He'd had a bite of hashbrown and a nibble off of a sausage link.
"Not that hungry." He lied. She nodded, believing him. She dug through her pocket and pulled out a twenty, leaning over the table and setting it down, giving him a welcome view of her cleavage.
He almost sighed. If only she knew how hungry she made him, and just by eating a small bowl of strawberries, no less.
Sometimes he thought this woman was going to be the death of him, but then, she'd be the life him, too.
There you go:)
