"Peter?" I questioned more to myself then to the room. His eyes widened, and then avoided eye contact with me. My mother was quick to fix the situation, "I am SO sorry, my daughter, she sometimes ge-" He jumped in with a smile,
"No apologies needed." Composure gathered. I returned the smile and climbed down the rest of the stairs.
"James Greyy, pleasure to meet you, Wendy." He said a twinkle in his eye. I swooned inwardly. All I could do was stare. He had grown so much, and turned into the man I never could imagine.
"Let's eat." My mother said, always jumping to the rescue. "Of all the names…"I whispered to him as I brushed by to get to the dining room.
Dinner was awkward and silent. "So James, what do you do?" My father asked. "Well currently I fly." He said back. I choked. "F-fly?" I questioned him. "Well I have been working with some friends of mine back in the States." He said making eye contact with only me. I felt blood rush to my cheeks.
As in airplanes duh, I mentally scolded myself.
Time passed to slowly. I hated this dinner. Things were too formal between Peter and I, it felt so wrong. I thought as I undressed for the night. I was way too awake to fall asleep, so I didn't even bother. I went to my usual spot, the window.
"Wendy…"
A soft whisper, an un forgettable voice.
"Peter?"
I sprang up to find, Peter. I hugged him, I couldn't control myself. I felt him relax, "Wendy." He said again and pulled back. "I know this probably isn't proper, but I needed to see you again, alone."
Alone. One word that sent chills up my back. How I wanted to fall into his arms; to have him hold me forever and to never let go.
He was wearing the same white shirt from dinner, but I was untucked and buttoned down a bit, black dress pants and….barefoot. Yes, still the same Peter. I thought relieved. "Wendy, you looked absolutely stunning tonight." He said simply studying my expression. I warmed.
"Peter…"I said with disproval. His expression melted. "Sorry, I know I shouldn't have came." He stumbled fastly for words. I shook my head and he stopped trying to talk. "You really shouldn't come here and tempt me like this."I said then widened my eyes that I actually said all that aloud.
"Tempt…"
I cut him off, with my lips.
I prayed he wanted me to kiss him. He stood stiff for only a second before he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me up and closer to him. I slid my hands over his chest and let them tangle around his neck and hair.
He angled his head so that he could deepen the kiss. He nibbled the bottom of my lip making a sigh escape from me, and he broke away slightly smiling against my lips.
"Peter!" I whispered angrily and he brushed his lips against mine. I took charge and closed to small space.
We broke away breathing a little heavier. I was still in his arms, but the sight of where we were scared me. We were hovering several feet off the ground. "Still flying I see." I smiled and he returned. I slid my hands off his neck slowly tracing his muscles.
"You've grown so much Peter." I said more thinking aloud then anything else. I took one finger and slid it down his slightly unbuttons shirt popping one more button out. I looked up and giggled like a kid. He smiled in a way that I will never forget.
"You are very unlady-like tonight."
