Kinda disappointed, not many reviews but I know I left y'all hanging for a very long time so here's another chapter!
~!Rose!~
Rose Point of View
Ravens lips met mine. I knew I shouldn't have liked it…but I did anyway. I kissed him back. His hands moved to my hips, pulling me closer, I got a shock of electricity from his touch. I loved that zing and wanted more. I put my hands over his, letting him know I was clearly in charge here, I think that was a turn on from the way he kissed harder. I broke away to breathe, my breath rapid and shallow. I looked up at him; he peered down at me, eyes burning with happiness. I wondered if Drake was okay with this all and then I realized the song playing Hell on the Heart by Eric Church. I had no idea what it meant but I adored the song, sometimes wondering if someone thinks of me like that, or had. I wanted to speak but having no idea what to say.
"Rose, I… I really hope you care for me the way I do about you," He said outright. I knew I shouldn't care for Raven the way I do but there was something about him that drew me to him. Something I couldn't put my finger on but it was like moth to a flame. I couldn't get enough of it even though I didn't quite understand what it was, having no idea if it'd hurt me or what all I knew if I needed to get closer to it.
"Raven, there just something about you that I adore, I can never put a finger on it but it's… it's intoxicating. Like being drunk, you feel all warm and fuzzy inside," I said speaking my thoughts. His face lit up like I've never seen before. I realized at that moment that we were still basically molded to each other, he seemed to notice too but neither of us bothered to move away. We stood there for a moment, basking in the moment.
Don't wait for the perfect moment, take a moment and make it perfect…
Mamas words ran through my head, and for once I followed directions.
I let go of his hands, which were still positioned on my hips. He got a sad look in his eyes and got the wrong idea and took a step back. I grabbed the front collar of his shirt and pulled him down nearly eye level to me, this action startled him. I put a serious face on and said with a smile in my voice.
"Did I tell you to move, Cowboy?"
He grinned ear to ear and shook his head.
"No, Ma'am you didn't. Would a mighty fine lady like you forgive my foolish acts?" He said, Okie accent popping out. God, I loved that deep voice. I yanked harder on his shirt, our foreheads nearly touching.
"Well, since you seem to be such a gentlemen and know how to treat and lady, I suppose," I said. As I said that even I could seriously notice my Texan accent coming out.
And then it seemed to be my turn, I kissed him.
Ravens Point of View
My God, she was an amazing kisser! I thought I had loved those perfect pink lips but now I think I worship them. The way she kissed me is like I was the one. I wonder if every guy she has every kissed had that same thought or something along those lines. I loved the way she put her hands on top of mine, I've always loved a woman in charge and I must say I'd hit the jackpot. This time her hands slid up my arms slowly and then around my neck. No woman has ever made me this crazy about them. Her fingers weaved in my tousled hair. One of my arms was around her waist and the other around her upper back. I turned us in a different angle and dipped her. She smiled against my lips. I grabbed her leg and hitched it on my hip and dipped her lower where her ponytail brushed the floor of the porch. She pulled back and looked up and grinned hugely.
"Wow," Was all she said. I brought her back up.
"So, does this mean we're… together..?" I asked.
She shrugged.
"Well, actually I thought I just go around kissin' my late boyfriends best friend."
It took me a minute to realize she was being a smartass. I smiled broadly and snatched her hand into mine.
"Took ya that long?"
"Hey, on my defense you kinda did sound serious," I said.
She rolled her eyes at me, God she cute when she did that.
"Huh?"
"Huh what?" I asked back.
"Did you say I was cute when I did that?" She asked.
Well, shit.
I shrugged.
"Actually, I said 'God, you're cute when you do that'," I corrected.
"Oh..wait, cute when I did what?" She asked, clearly confused.
"Roll your eyes," I said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh." She said clearly dumbfound. We stood there for a moment not really saying anything just basking in silence.
"Where do we go from here?" She asked suddenly.
I shrugged. And then a bright idea flitted through my mind.
"Why don't you go to the Veterans Ball with me tonight?" I asked.
She seemed if-y on the idea and thought about it for several minutes, leaving me hanging off the edge. She looked very thoughtful, thinking it thoroughly through. I grabbed her other hand and looked at her right in her gorgeous brown eyes.
"Miss. Rose, it would be a delight if you would accept my offer to be on my arm tonight at the Veterans Ball, do you accept?" I asked formally. A smile captured her face and my heart fumbled over itself just by looking at her.
"It would be a pleasure to be hand in hand with you tonight, Mister."
I leaned over and kissed her temple softly. I swear I thought I heard her breath catch. I glanced at my watch.
5:58
"Which speaking of, the ball in 'bout half an hour. See you then?" I asked. Her eyes widened and she glanced at the slowly dipping sun.
"I better get ready then, huh? Beauty takes time," She said letting go of my hands.
"Well, I beg the differ, you look ready to walk the runway now and you spent what…five minutes on yourself this morning?"
She just looked down failing attempt to hide her blush.
"Go get ready," I told her even though I didn't want her to leave. She nodded and reached up and quickly pecked my on the lips that still sent chills down my back. I couldn't help it, as she turned away I pinched her ass. She yelped and turned around swatted my hand.
"That, in case you didn't notice, is mine," She told me. I could tell she was trying to hold back a smile.
"Well, didn't Mama ever teach you to share?"
She just rolled her eyes and walked away toward our house.
