"I love you,
not only for what you are, But for what I am when I am with
you."
--Roy Croft
"You sure you wanna go tonight?" I murmured against his neck.
"It's Friday…" Leon said, as if that were explanation enough.
"Yeah, but I can think of other things to do… more exciting things..." I brushed my lips against his throat.
"Really?" Leon said, his voice growing rough.
"Uh huh." A flicker of tongue. Hips pressed against him.
He sucked in a deep breath. "Jesus, woman, you're gonna kill me."
I smiled a small smile and let my hand wander down to feel him.
"Oh!" I said, feigning surprise. "Races sound that exciting to you?"
Suddenly I was on the kitchen counter, Leon pressing himself in between my legs. His mouth was on mine, urgent and fierce.
I groaned as he grabbed my ass and pulled me forward, pushing himself against me even more. I cursed myself for choosing to wear jeans that day.
As I reached down to grab the buttons on his jeans, the phone rang.
"Uh-uh." I murmured against his lips. "Don't."
The persistent ringing didn't stop and I could tell Leon was getting distracted.
"Sorry, babe, I have to… could be an emergency or something." Leon said, pulling himself away from me.
"Ugh. Someone better be dying." I muttered.
Leon walked back into the kitchen, phone in hand, and looking mighty irritated.
"For you." He said.
"Who is it?" I mouthed.
He ran his hands through his hair and held the phone out even further. "Just take the fuckin' thing!" He muttered.
"Well I told you not to answer!" I snipped back as I took the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey." The voice on the other end said.
Letty.
"What's up?"
"Okay, so I have a friend going with us to the races tonight and well… she's really not into the whole dressing skanky thing and we need your help, like now. So… long story short: we need you over Mia's and you need to bring scissors and your infinite wisdom." Letty said quickly.
"Er…okay." I looked up at Leon, who was looking really impatient. "Give me 30-45 minutes to get ready?"
"Alright. See ya then." Letty said.
I hung up the phone and looked at Leon.
"So we're going to the races?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Yay." He said with mock enthusiasm.
"Oh, come on, it'll be fun." I chided.
"Yeah, somehow I think what we were going to be doing was going to be so much better."
"Well…" I said, pulling him closer. "Who said we don't get to do that too?"
"You just told Letty you had to get ready…"
"Leon, Leon, Leon…" I sighed, shaking my head like I was chastising a child. "When have I ever taken 45 minutes to get ready?"
Suddenly Leon's eyes lit up and he got that mischievous look on his face.
"Girl," He said, swooping me up off the counter. "You don't even know what you do to me."
I couldn't wait to find out.
