Common pairings. All human.
4. Crossing the line?
I couldn't help it. I knew she was slightly intoxicated, and maybe a little shaken up still by what happened with Tyler. But when she whispered her thank you in my ear, I just had to kiss her.
She didn't react. At all. She didn't answer my kiss, but she also didn't push me away. Nothing whatsoever. This was... strange. Or did she have more to drink than I'd thought? Shit, this wasn't supposed to happen! I didn't want to take advantage of the situation, or her, I just wanted... I don't know! Not force her into anything, at least. So I pulled back. I looked at her, hoping I hadn't crossed a line.
This time she reacted. She leaned back in and kissed me. Wow. Didn't see that one coming. She kissed me back! I gently pulled her onto my lap and kissed her again. This time when I broke away to take a much needed breath, I couldn't help but laugh a bit, as she was practically gasping for air. Did she forget to breath?
It was still chilly outside and it was getting late, but I didn't want to let her go just yet. I held her in my lap and stroked her back. I couldn't stop myself from leaning down and kiss her from time to time.
Suddenly I felt something vibrate. Her phone. Whoever she was here with. She said she was on her way. I asked if she wanted me to walk her – say yes, please say yes – but she said her brother gave her clear directions where to meet him. Maybe just as well. I wasn't sure if running into her brother at this point would be helpfull.
Coward.
I know. But come on, how do you think I would react if I caught my sister with some random guy?
...
Right.
Except if it were Jasper.
Yeah, well, that's not the point. This isn't one of my best friends we're talking about, it's a stranger. Why don't you get that? Best to postpone that particular event for a while.
Postpone? Are you planning on a repeat of tonight?
I don't know!
At least I had the presence of mind to give her my number.
When she was out of sight, I decided to call it a night. Like I said, these kinds of parties just didn't hold my interest anymore. Although I did have to thank my sister for kicking my butt out of the house tonight. This party turned out better than expected. But now the fun was over.
I had just reached my car when I got a text. Unknown number.
Thank you. For everything.
My grin was ridiculously wide. Luckily no one was watching. They would probably be freaked out by me. I didn't care. I had kissed her. And now I had her number.
