I don't know what overcame me but some astrophysical force possessed my body, and my lips, and crashed them into Alex's. Her lips were so soft and I could sense the slightest smile behind them. My mind finally caught up to what my body was doing behind its back and I suddenly didn't know what to do with my hands. What am I, in junior high again?! My moment of pre-pubescent uncertainty was rectified as Alex placed her hand on the side of my face and thrusted her tongue into my mouth, mapping my soul. The butterflies in my stomach as her mouth massaged my lips elevated me to cloud 99, and I needed to anchor down before I left the atmosphere because I didn't want to miss this moment. I roped my hands around Alex's neck and held on for dear life as I claimed the power in our kiss. This was my chance, and I may never be in this moment again. I threw the weight of my body into hers and stood on my tip toes. Our souls were one, her heartbeat could feel my heartbeat. I paid close attention to the corners of her lips as they curved upwards to form a smile in response to my newfound aggression. Again, I didn't know what overcame me. I was rounding first base and showed no signs of stopping. My lips had a mind of their own as they rotated between sucking on Alex's bottom lip and letting our tongues do the waltz. Her mouth tased of tequila and mint. The fire between us was blazing and there was no putting it out. When we ran out of breath and pulled apart, I looked into those beautiful green eyes as their owner swooped down to seal our moment with one last intimate peck. I couldn't speak,
I could barely think, and I certainly felt my courageous facade crumbling under Alex's exquisite caresses. Though, I didn't want to ever forget this moment under the lightless sky and serenity of the Sound around us; engulfed by passion as I felt Alex's heartbeat under my finger tips. I was alive. Where have you been all my life?
"Wow. You're really good at that." Alex finally broke our speechless exchange. That's right, I almost forgot that I initiated this dangerous dance. She swiped the side of my cheekbone with her thumb as she dropped her hands and placed them on my hips, only millimeters between us still.
"I... um.. well... ". Was I sorry? Dammit why was she so mesmerizing, I'm so confused. I look away to attempt to find my words and my sanity though I think it's all the way back at the bar where I left it. By the time I look back up at Alex, there she is again, just smirking so seductively that I can't help but smile back at her. We're just standing there and I am staring up at her smiling like she is the best part of existence and she is starring back at me like she wants to devour me from head to toe. Stop. I smile as I lift myself back up is search of her lips. Wait. There is a buzzer going off in my head and it takes me a moment to realize it before I pull back. It's my conscience telling me that, that... "I have a boyfriend Alex." I blurted it out while I had the echo of my morals still in my head.
I know she heard me but she is still smirking. Inches from my mouth. She slides her hands up to my collar, well her collar, and tuggs the shoulders of the flanner as a gesture of security. As if she were saying I know Piper, I know you have a boyfriend but he's not right for you. I can protect you. I can show you the world. Instead she opened her lips she sighed and closed our gaze with a simple "Come on, kid. Let's get you home."
We walk the short path back to Alex's car in silence yet shoulder to shoulder. I look over to my left to see if I can hear my temptuous conscience tell me it's okay to grab Alex's hand. Nothing. I look up at her and she is glowing in the moonlight. Her alabaster skin is giving off a blueish tint under the moon and I could stare at this for hours. My gaze is disturbed by the sound of Alex opening my car door. She props herself up and rests her arms on go too ledge of the open door; she'd make Aristotle proud.
"Then why'd you kiss me?" Alex asked a valid question to which I don't know the answer to.
"Huh?" That's it Piper, but yourself time. I tried to glaze over the question by getting in the car but Alex grabbed my arm and stopped me gently. She moved around the door so we were face to face again.
"Piper. I know you feel something."
"Alex, I don't know." That was the truth. I don't know what I'm feeling because I've never felt it before. "Can we let this moment be what it is?!" This time she doesn't stop me as I get into the passenger seat.
We drive back into the city with the light sound of the White Stripes playing in the back ground. I'm still staring. She's looking straight ahead. Hands at 10 and 2 but I can tell she's about to say something. I'm waiting for it. Whisk me away you mesmerizing goddess.
"Staring at me like that is not going to help me keep my hands to myself Piper." She chuckles, okay she doesn't hate me.
"Well I can appreciate beauty from afar. And I'll have you know my level self control is akin to a pregnant woman off alcohol.
"Oh is that so?!"
"Yes." Pinocchio Chapman, party of one. I'm playing with fire again, but this time it's unintentional.
Thank god we've reached my apartment. Alex walks me to the door. I can feel her right behind me. God her heat is like the sun. What do I do? As I unlock the deadbolt and turn back around to prepare for an awkwardly goodnight, Alex traps me up against the wooden entrance with her body. She has her hands and arms on either side of my head. We're two inches apart and she leans in to my ear. My god, yes. The surprise and aggressive maneuver gets my butterflies wisping again. Except this time they are much lower in my abdomen, especially when she, she... yes, she's running her nose and lips down the side of my neck. I let out the faintest sight so she stays there for a minute and hovers her lips over my pulse point before gently closing the distance and massaging it ever so softly with her mouth. Dammit. Im a goner.Alex trails a line of light sensual kisses down my neck and back up to ear. She nibbles delicately at the shell of my ear when she leans in to whisper so that only she and I in our little bubble could hear.
"Tell me to stop."
Im so close to heaven that I don't know what she just said. I just know that I'm losing control.
"I've wanted to do this since I saw you in that coffee shop. I've wanted to kiss you, to control you, take you to somewhere you've never been before."
A bite on my neck that's sure to leave a mark and another breathy traitorous gasp from my panting lips as Alex thrusts her lower body into me. That's all I can muster in response.
Alex pulls back to look me dead in the eye. "Piper-"
"No." Seemed clear enough as to what I wanted though I know it's wrong and I don't know what I'm getting at. "Stay."
Without saying anything else, I reach behind me to turn the doorknob and pull Alex by her collar through my front door. I throw my back against the wall of my foyer and drag Alex with me, finding her lips with the most passionate kiss I have ever given. I didn't know what I was doing but I wasn't letting her go.
