"Where are we going Jack?"
He wrapped his arms around her, and she pulled back afraid of the elevator doors opening all of a sudden.
"I don't know Juliet, wherever you want to go."
"Let's go to my house."
They both took their own cars, Jack in his and Juliet in hers. Jack saw Juliet pullover at a large white house. Did she live there alone? It was pretty big.
He parked his car and was met her at the door steps.
"Nice house."
"Thanks, my sister and Julian are moving over in a about a month, I wanted a large house."
"That's great Juliet."
"You want something to drink?"
"No I'm fine."
He sat down on her couch, the house still needed decorating but she had only been here about a week. His house needed a feminine touch too but he never felt comfortable letting Mary do it, he was scared she would turn it into a Barbie penthouse or something.
She came back into the living room with an energy drink in her hand. He scrunched up his forehead at the can in her hands.
"You drink those things?"
"Lately I have, I'm so tired, all these shifts are driving me crazy.
She offered him a zip and he planted his lips on the ring of the can, she placed her hand under his chin and tilted it back to give him a taste of the liquid inside.
"Aggghhh. It's not THAT bad."
"She giggled and took a long zip that finished the can.
His phone started ringing again, and she didn't hide her discomfort this time.
"Mary has you on a tight leash huh?"
Jack pulled the phone out of his pocket and ignored the call.
"I'm so sorry Jack, I shouldn't have said that, It was completely immature of me."
She was gonna keep talking but was interrupted by the crash of his lips against hers.
The introduction was rough, a hard slam to her mouth, but once their lips were together, he laid two soft pecks on her lips before acquainting his tongue with hers. Her lips were as luscious as he remembered them, her taste even sweeter. He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her on top of him, one knee on each side of his thighs. They were lost, lost in each other, to her there was nothing and nobody but him, to him this was a dream, he had dreamt of this so many times. They had been kissing for what seemed hours, his chest was bare to her, the sensation of her hands running through his chest hair, his stubble burning her cheek, her neck, it was all combined into the largest ecstasy imaginable.
The moment was impeccable, nothing could go wrong, at least that's what Jack thought.
He slid his hands under her shirt and started pulling it off her when she pulled out of his kiss and his embrace.
"I can't Jack…. We can't."
"What?"
"You're engaged, this is wrong."
She got off of him and slid her shirt back down.
He got up, his strong muscles reaching out to her making it even harder for her to resist.
He grabbed her by the shoulders and looked into her eyes.
"I want you Juliet."
She felt her knees go weak, her centre moisten.
"Oh Jack don't make this harder."
She pulled into him for a fast but hungry kiss, heaving herself backwards fast and hard forcing a pop from their lips.
"This is wrong. You have to go."
"No Juliet." She stared at him with love, pain, guilt, and anger all in one look.
"I'll leave her."
"Jack, I don't want to be the other woman."
"You won't Juliet, you never will. You're my main woman."
She fell to her knees digging her face into her hands, letting the tears roll down into her palms. He kneeled down to her and grabbed her, her face falling next to his neck, her tears circling a small purple token of their encounter.
"Jack… It's too late."
"No Juliet, its not. I still love you, and you love me."
"No Jack, I don't."
He pulled her head out of his chest and looked at her melancholy eyes.
"Say that again Juliet. Look into my eyes, say it and mean it. If you do, I'll walk out of here and I'll leave you alone, but dont say it if you dont mean it."
She looked past him and he tightened his grip on her sending a jolt of pain through her neck. She looked into his confident eyes, and told the biggest lie she ever told.
"I don't love you anymore."
