~Cure for a Broken Heart~
Chapter 4
After grabbing him some ice for his face, I quickly, I threw on some dry clothes and ran downstairs to get a fire going. We were both shivering, but him especially, I needed to get him warmed up fast.
"You said I could borrow your phone?" he asked startling me. I looked up at him, and was struck by how much he'd changed since I left. He was probably a freshman or sophomore when I graduated– baby-faced and scrawny.
Now he was angular, body toned and slightly muscular. As he stared at the fire, my eyes focused in on his chiseled jaw, moving up to those long lashes which only served to frame his intensely green eyes in the most attractive way.
What I liked the most were his lips – two plush pouting pillows that looked so kissable and bitable, I had to stop myself from lunging at him to steal a taste.
I had to clear my throat, so my voice didn't sound too lusty "Oh yeah… sure."
I handed him the phone and went back to the fireplace to give him a bit of privacy. I assumed he was going to leave the room, but he just sat there kneeling beside me, staying warming by the fire as he made his phone call.
"Dad? Hey I'm sorry to bug you, but have you and Mom left the house yet?" he asked nervously.
"Oh… I see," he replied looking a bit stressed. "No… things didn't really turn out as I'd hoped… look… can we just talk about it when you guys get home? I don't want to ruin your date with my silly problems… I know, I know… look just enjoy your night – I'll be fine."
I could vaguely hear his dad's worried voice through the receiver, and I was almost certain he had called my new friend here, Edward.
That sounded right. He looked like an Edward.
Still with me here?
How would you like to get cozy with Edward by the fire?
