I didn't sleep well that night, but that was a given with being in a new place. I was dreading this day, it was Jane's calling hours. You know those days where you want the time to go by slow, but the opposite happens and it seems like you don't have enough time to do anything? Yeah, that was how it felt. I went and took a quick shower, pulled back my hair, and found a pair of black dress pants and a white button down shirt. I couldn't find the shoes that I wanted to wear, so I headed to the front room to see if I could find them in the coat closet. As I came around the corner, I was taken aback when I saw Edward standing there. He looked so good. He was wearing black pants and a dark blue button up shirt. His hair was a mess as usual, he was clean shaven, and as I looked at him, I had a sudden urge to kiss him. I must have looked so dumb standing there just staring at him like I have never seen a man dressed up before.
"You look nice, but a little lost," he said as he cocked his head to the side. I had to shake my head to get my thoughts back.
"Ah...yeah thanks, you look nice too. No, I'm not lost. I'm looking for my shoes," I explained as I walked over by him and bent down at the opened closet door. I thought that I heard him chuckle under his breath, but I wasn't sure. Still bent down in front of him, to fix the back of my shoes, I heard him chuckle again.
"What is so funny?" I asked annoyed.
"Turn around," he said as he walked up to me. He put his hands on the waist of my pants and clipped the clasps together. I know it's cheesy, but it gave me the cold chills. Just the feel of his hands on my skin had my thoughts going in the gutter. I was hoping that he was taking them down. I shook my head back to reality.
"Thanks. You liked the show?" I said knowing that he saw my lacy black panties.
"I'm not complaining," he chuckled as he handed me my coat. "Do you want to just ride with me?"
"Yeah, sure, why not we are going to the same place," I said. I was a little excited knowing that we were going to be that close to each other. We got into the car, which was already running and warm inside. It was a nice relief from the freezing temperatures outside.
"You smoke?" I asked, noticing cigarettes in the center console.
"Yeah, you?"
"Yes," I said as I watched him light up; he was so graceful. I felt grateful that he smoked, because I needed one. Even though I was a smoker, I really didn't understand how, in the middle of winter, you can be so cold and then still roll down the window to smoke. I just didn't get it. I must've had a distressed look on my face, because he put his hand on my thigh and gave me a little squeezed.
"It's going to be okay," his very sexy, velvet, soothing voice said.
"I know, I just really don't like these things," I said as I placed my hand on top of his. Next thing I knew, we were holding hands, which made me smile. It had been a while since a man held my hand just to hold it. We actually held hands whenever we had the chance. It was nice, the feeling that it gave me.
The night was longer than we expected; it seemed like the whole town came to pay their respects, including my parents and brother came. That was nice, because I hadn't seen them in a while. My father almost embarrassed me when I introduced them to Edward because he started to size him up. I understood why, but at the same time, Jane's calling hours were not the place.
We got home about ten and I was beat, my eyes hurt from crying. It made me feel better when Edward took his shirt off in the living room before going down the hallway, though. A hot, half-naked guy could make any girl feel better.
"Are you coming back out this way or can I just turn off the lights?" He asked standing at the end of the hallway as I ogled his body a little more.
"Nah cut 'em. I'm going to bed. It's been a long day and tomorrow is going to be even longer," I said, trying to give him a smile.
"Yeah, I agree with you," he replied as he shut off the lights. I stopped when I got to my room. I heard him right behind me, so I turned to talk to him and ran right into his chest. Score! That was what I was going for. His body was perfect. Very firm.
"Oh, I'm sorry," I said as I set my hand on his rock hard stomach. "I just wanted to say thank you for today. You made it easier in a way." I said as I slid my hand to his waist keeping it there. He smiled at me placing his hand on my cheek and my mind went crazy. I could picture us together: his strong hands all over me, his beautiful mouth on mine.
"Anytime. You look like you needed a friend, kid," he said to me. I was screaming internally, 'no, no, no, no, no'! Did he just say friend and kid in the same sentence? Unfuckingbelievable. I dropped my hand from his waist. I tried to give him a smile that I'm sure came out as a grimace. Without a word, I turned around and went in to my room. At times like these, I was glad this was my room, because it had a bathroom in it. I took my clothes off, replacing them with a tee shirt before crawling into bed and turning on the TV. I flipped through some channels, stopping at a movie on lifetime that I had seen a thousand times; it never really got boring to me I watched for about thirty minutes before I heard a knock at my door. I don't know why, especially after he called me a kid, but I quickly tried to make myself more presentable. I ran my fingers though my hair and made sure my shirt was pulled down.
"Yeah, come in," I said trying not to sound too excited.
"Were you sleeping?"
"No, come in," I repeated. As he come through the door all he had on was a pair shorts and it took all I had not to jump on him. I had to giggle when he walked around my bed and climbed in on the other side.
"I couldn't sleep and heard your TV on, so I thought that I would keep you company," he said as he got comfortable.
"I'm okay, you know. I'm not a kid, I'm used to being alone," I said feeling a little annoyed. At the same time though, the thought of him leaving annoyed me too.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll go back to my room. I just thought you may want someone around," he said as he started to get out of my bed. I really didn't want him to, so I reached over and put my hand on his leg.
"No, stay, I haven't had anyone to watch TV with in a long time. You just startled me," I said as he snuggled back down into my bed.
"Your boyfriends never watched TV with you?"
"No, well, the only boyfriend I had used to, but I was eighteen when we broke up, and he fucked me up pretty good. I haven't dated since. I mean, I have been with other guys, but that's just been about sex," I babbled not knowing when to shut up.
"What did he do that was so bad?"
"Now that I'm older, I realize that it was nothing that bad, but it really hurt me at the time. Its hard for me to let my guard down any more," I said, turning the TV to the eleven o'clock news.
"Okay, well, if it wasn't so bad, what was it?"
"You really want to know?" I asked, I didn't really like talking about it.
"Yeah, if you don't mind."
"Well, I was sixteen when James asked me out. He was so cute and I wasn't back then, so I was very excited that a 'cutie,'" I said as I made air quotes, "even noticed me. Anyway, after our first date we were inseparable and about six months later, I was head over heels in love with him. He was always trying to get me to have sex with him, but I was scared. I had never done it before, so I was able to live without it, ya know?" I asked as I looked at him. He nodded his head, but remained quiet.
"Well, to make a long story short, after graduation, I decided I was ready to have sex with him. Now mind you, I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with him, so I gave in and had sex with him. He left the next morning. He gave me the best kiss ever, said 'thanks that was great. I love you,' and left. I have not seen or heard from him since. So, I thought that was shitty and I swore to myself that I was never doing that again. I just stopped dating all together and only had sex with people. In a way, that was the best thing that I got out of that relationship."
When I was finished telling my tale, he was just staring at me. I keep talking, because I hated the awkward silence. "The only thing that disappoints me, is that he was the best kisser I have ever come across. Now, I have kissed a lot of men, and no one has ever kissed me like he did. I'm not the kind of person that lets people know the way I really feel. So, within a month of James leaving and not talking to me, I moved out of my patents house, started working full time, and here we are." We just sat there in silence for a while. I looked at his face, knowing he had something he wanted to say. "You look like you want to ask me something," I said to him.
"Yeah, but I don't want to offend you," he said, looking at me.
"Well, I don't have much to hide, so just ask."
"How many men have you been with?" That made me laugh. Why would that offend me?
"I have been with seven guys." I could see him doing the math in his head. "Yes, it's about a new guy every year." I said to him as I went back to watching TV.
"Did any of them come back for seconds?" He asked with teasing laughter. I looked at him and nudged him with my elbow.
"Yeah, four out of the seven, you ass." We both laughed. I started to flip through the channels some more. but there was nothing on so I shut it off.
"So, what about you? I've given you my life story, are you gonna share yours?" I asked turning onto my side facing him.
"Well, I've only been with four women. I was with the same woman from the time I was eighteen until I was thirty. We were engaged, but once we moved in together,we couldn't stand each other. It all worked out for the best. Like I told you before, I work too much to keep any girl around. I've been trying for the last five years to balance it out, but it never works." All I could do was shake my head. That was so boring, I was hoping for something good. "Did I offend you earlier when I called you kid?" He asked brushing hair out of my face.
"A little, but it's nothing I won't get over," I told him with a smile on my face. I had to excuse myself then because I had to use the bathroom. I was so cold when I stepped out onto the floor; all I had on was a tee shirt and a pair of boy short panties after all. As I walked in to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and knew my mission was accomplished. My ass looked great in these panties and my nipples were very hard. Guys loved that kind of thing, right? I waited a minute, flushed the toilet and went back to the bed. When I walked back into the room,t I saw my robe on the floor. It was perfect opportunity to give him a little show. I bent over to up the picked the robe up, putting it back on the chest at the end of my bed. To do that I had to face him; I knew he saw me. When I was done, I looked up and saw that his unnatural green eyes were on me. I was getting so turned on thinking that he wanted me. As I returned back to where I was laying, he pulled back the covers for me to get in.
"It's cold once you get out from underneath these blankets," I said trying to see if he would say anything. Once again, it worked like a charm.
"Yeah, I could see that," he said glancing at my perky tits. All I could do was laugh. The next thing I knew, he was putting his arms around me, helping me warm up. "Is it alright if I just sleep in here tonight? I don't want to get out of this bed," He said as he lay his head on the pillow holding me close. Like I was going to say no.
"Yeah, sure. I haven't slept with someone in a long time, so I don't know if I talk or snore, but you're welcome to stay," I said as I rolled out of his arms to turn off the light.
I thought that he would roll over or something, but he didn't. He was still lying there with his arms open for me to lay back where I was. I swear it was the best night sleep I had in years. I was so comfortable lying there with him, our bodies fitting perfectly together. Every time he would touch my skin I would get goose bumps on my skin. I didn't think I should feel so attached to him so soon, but I really couldn't help it and that scared me. I didn't know if I could be able to handle it. I was sad after that, thinking about ending it, whatever it was, before it had even started.
Let me know if you all are liking the rewrite! Thanks to my girls for helping me.
