Watching the most beautiful woman on earth walking towards me has my ears ringing and my palms sweaty. I really don't know what to do. Why is she even coming this way?
You know how you sometimes want things you know you can't have but you still daydream about it. However when it starts becoming a possibility you start freaking out and don't know how to act even though you've run multiple scenarios in your head. Yeah that's totally happening to me now.
As she gets closer I realize just how much more beautiful she is. I mean she definitely caught my attention from afar, but this? Oh my goodness, it's too much to handle! I mean how can someone be so beautiful? The eyes, the hair, the tan, the toned muscles and that smile, Jesus!
Extending her hand "Hi, I'm Ari" she says with the most heavenly voice that sends a tinkle down my spine.
"Uh, um, I, I'm Liiiiiiza" I say as I stumble upon my words.
She smirks and gives me the cutest smile exposing her dimples and whispers
" Nice to meet you Liiiiiiizza" dragging out my name mockingly.
Oh god, she's almost touching my body and I swear I want to just take her and slam her against the bed and have my way with her but I can't even pronounce my nickname properly, how the hell am I supposed to do that. Gosh the things I would do to her, I feel my center heat up a little and I press my thighs closer from going any further. She definitely has an effect on me.
"So what brings you here tonight"
"Destiny" I say while dazed on this beauty.
Seriously Minnick?
I swear I could have slapped myself right there and then...
"What? You mean destiny as in a friend named destiny or destiny as in the cheesy idea of our fate is controlled by a series of events leading to our destiny. " Ari questions me with a slight smirk that is mocking me, she knows.
Needing to pull myself out of this spell I look at her and give her my sweetest smile and completely ignore her question statement.
"I'm here with my friend Amelia, she needed a night out to get shit faced for having a tough week. I haven't been much help though"
A small moment of silence falls upon us and we both look back at my group that's in the VIP section.
Needing to regain some sort of control of the conversation I continue with "So you come here often, I haven't seen you around."
"No, actually, it's my first time. I moved from Seattle about 6 months ago for a new job here in the city, I'm definitely loving it so far, this place is nice as well, definitely a lot of beautiful people in here" she says with the most flirtatious voice ever.
Wait is she seriously flirting with me?
"See anyone you like" I take my chance in asking her.
Getting closer, she puts her hands on my arm which sends a shiver down my spine and she tries to beat out the loud music on the rooftop by leaning into my ear and says; "Oh definitely, someone's caught my eye and I can't stop looking at them, and if my gut instincts are right I think they might have a thing or two for me as well as I've caught them looking"
I swear my knees go weak, I don't know if I can handle this beauty with her talking in my ear, touching me and mocking me with flirtation.
Somehow, someway I muster the courage and shoot right back as I get even closer to her.
"Oh really" I smile. " I definitely have to agree with you, there are a lot of beautiful people here"
I say looking directly into her piercing blue eyes.
We're mere inches away from each others lips, my eyes goes back and forth between her eyes and her lips and it takes everything in me and beyond to not kiss her right here right now.
The music turning up and the crowd going wild to the new hip hop jam that is blaring out in the speakers, it's definitely getting hot and steamy in here thats for sure as people are swaying to music, some grinding away on each other and as soon as I'm about to pull her out to dance I see another chick pull up right behind Ari and pull her away to the dance floor.
"Fuck" I should have been more assertive.
I swear I could have killed her with my bare hands, I was so damn close.
She obliges and gets dancing with her friend who is also pretty hot, they look good together and I swear I feel a jealous rage come over me. Ari is also playing this game right back. She has her back in front of the other chick as she grinds down, I can see the other brunettes hands all over Ari and they seems to be having fun, I see her look up at me, oh so damn seductively as if mocking me to say that either you can't touch this or come get me.
I stand there for a minute deciding what to do, I head over to my group, deciding that I need a damn drink, I chug a shot back and the burn feels good as it travels down my throat.
I swear beautiful girls like her are always either playing, flirting or just being so seductive.
Having head enough I walk up to her and pull Ari away from the brunette she's dancing with leaving the brunette with her mouth hanging open and she looks like she's about to fight me for her but I give her the most intense stare and she backs off. I turn my head to Ari and give her my sweetest puppy eyed smile and she laughs right back.
"Good one Liza, I thought you'd never come and pull me away from her."
"Well you look like you were having the time of your life with her." I spit right back.
"It may have looked like that but I was secretly hoping it was you."
"Well your wish is my command, looks like I read your mind" throwing her a wink and a smile
"You indeed have" she rolls her eyes and smiles. "Gosh you are so beautiful Liza" with her hands wrapped around my neck and our bodies molded into one as if it was meant to fit perfectly.
Wait a freaken minute is this girl that I've been salivating over all night, being frozen over like a fool and having insecure feelings all night telling me I'm beautiful? You have got to be kidding me.
"T-h-hank y-y-you" gosh I'm back to a bumbling fool. I internally chastise myself and roll my eyes.
"Hey" she takes the palm of her hand and cups it over my right cheek while holding my other hand, she tries to catch my attention but I'm looking everywhere but her as I try to avoid my blushing face.
...And we play a game of looking every where but each other for 10 secs until she nudges by jawline and stops it in place and whispers into my ear "I said you're beautiful Liza and I mean it. Remember the one person that caught my attention, it was you"
I pull back and look at her like I've won the goddamn lotto or something (I mean I don't need it, I'm pretty rich myself) but it's the feeling of pure euphoria that takes over me with her sweet confession.
"Well if you think I'm beautiful, than you have no idea what I think of you" being as seductive as ever
"What is it" and I swear I felt her lips touch the shell of my ear that sent shivers down my spine, giving me goosebumps as she asks with the sweetest low toned voice.
Seeing the reaction that she caused me, she pulls me across the dance floor and as I'm being pulled away headed towards the main dance floor inside I see Owen and Amelia give me a look like " Go get it Minnick" and I see my sister Caterina with the biggest grin on her face and throwing me a wink as if I've begged the hottest girl in the club, which to be honest I actually have.
She pulls me in towards the corner of the club and we're dancing against each other and she has the softest skin which I melt into and oh god her hands are all over me, I can't believe this is happening. We've literally done everything but kissed at this point and man! what I would do to just get a chance to kiss her but she hasn't given me anything that indicates that she wants that.
I mean I've met girls at clubs and we've danced as seductively and sensually as Ari and I are doing right now so I don't want to push my luck so i'll just go with the flow of things right now.
But there's something more about her, she isn't just any random girl at a club, she definitely caught my attention beyond just her looks. There's this electrifying feel, sparks you could say that leaves me wanting to get to her know more than just taking in her physical beauty.
We're dancing away entangled into each other and my hands are all over caressing her up and down while she has her arms around my neck with her face nuzzled into the side of face with my back against the wall and if I didn't have this wall we'd be on the floor because of the force and strength Ari is holding on to me and dancing, it's as if she wants to enter my body, hell I don't mind, I'd take this anyday.
Pulling back a little, I look at her and she looks away shyly as if embarrassed by the force she was using, I curl my fingers and pull her chin up slightly and give her the sweetest smile with a slight smirk letting her know that I know how she feels and she nods slightly to acknowledge it right back at me.
Gaining some courage from our little moment, I go into kiss her on the lips and as I'm about to do that I hear Amelia, Owen and Caterina yelling my name and signaling it's time to go home. It's almost 2am and the clubs are about to close anyways. I curse under my breath as I'm left flustered a bit, because what I would do to kiss her right here right now.
Heading my way the trio whistle and catcall and I swear if the weren't family and friends I'd kicked their asses back to Seattle by now.
Putting my hands up and signal to give me 5 mins, I turn to Ari and she looks disappointed as do I. "I guess it's time to call it a night huh"
"Only if you want to" she says as she drops her gaze "You know we could go back to my place, I only live 5 blocks from here, we don't have to do anything, I like you and I'd like to get to know you better, maybe we could have a drink and just talk"
"Just talk" I look at her with a smirk
She smirks right back "Yeah just talk" throwing me a wink, she pulls me towards the exit following the trio that are headed out as well.
Wheels are turning in my head right now, first of I wasn't even supposed ot be out tonight, I still have so much work to do before my trip to London on Sunday for a keynote speech I'm giving at a marketing conference on Monday. I'm back in Eliza Minnick CEO mode instead of Liza that fun, charming life of the party girl. Fuck, I'm going back to my old self of being uncertain when I saw this beautiful girl, my palms are getting sweaty and I'm getting cold feet.
No no no this can't be happening. I mean I would love to go home with Ari and just have an amazing night of "just talking" but my work comes first, it is important and it is everything that I have and am.
Outside the club I yank her hand and stop her in her tracks, I push her against the wall and lean over and look into her eyes and I can't believe I'm about to do this.
"I can't go with you beautiful" i say disappointed
"I have to go into the office early morning as I have so much work to do"
"It's saturday, who works on a Saturday"
People like me, I mean running a business isn't a M-F 9-5 job, it requires, late nights, early mornings, missed holidays, weekends away from fun and family and in the office.
"I know, I unfortunately can't control that but I need to get work done, I wasn't even supposed to be out tonight and I'm usually in bed by 10pm but here I am 2am wrapped around in the arms of the most beautiful girl I've seen" she rolls her eyes incredulously at me.
Next thing you know I hear Caterina honking her damn car and whistling to me and sorta making fun. "Get in liza, stop making out."
Looking back at Ari, "I'm sorry I gotta go"
Giving her one last tight hug and throwing her a wink, I cross the street slowly as if regretting my decision to leave her. Those few hours I've spent with her dancing and just talking about nothing and everything was electrifying, I've never been so enamored with anyone as beautiful and intelligent as her in my life. From our conversations you could tell she was intelligent and passionate about life and had a great heart.
Walking towards the car and as I open the back seat, i look back and i see that she is surrounded by her friend again who are chatting away against the curbside. Realizing that I haven't even gotten her number and is Ari even her real name or is it short for a full name that I don't even know about, I slam the door shut and tell Caterina to go on and drop Owen and Amelia and to come back and pick me up. They only live 7 mins away and with how drunk they are, they are in no condition to walk back, this gives me enough time with Ari to have a convo and maybe hopefully fingers crossed a kiss.
I run back across the street and grab Ari by the wrist taking her away from the crowd and into an alleyway on Market street. I've sorta turned into this sex ravaged being within a matter of seconds.
"Liza where are you taking me, you said you didn't wanna come home with me"
Saying no words, as I find a dark corner that has a dim street light, I embrace her into a tight hug with my hands wrapped all around her as if hanging on for dear life, shit man, I don't know what it is about her that has me wanting to know more, taste more, touch more. As I pull back from my passionate hug, I look into her eyes and its the deepest blue Ive seen all night. I go in for the kill and give her my deepest most passionate kiss I've ever had.
She has the softest pink lips and as I take her lips in between my teeth I hear a slight moan coming from Ari, I swallow the moan and deepen our kiss, fighting for access she finally lets in and our tongues are in a duel of who gets dominance. Finally giving into her, we slow down a little to regain our breath, hands all over each other and my panties are gone, they're ruined, theyre soaked, if she has this effect on me from just kissing I can imagine how soaked and wet I would be if I ever had the pleasure and privilege to take her to we deepen our kiss, I cup her cheeks with my hands and pull back, seeing her eyes still closed I give her a small, sweet kiss on her lips and I hear a small sigh released from her.
"You know I've waited all damn night for you to do that"
I furrow my eyebrows "You have"
"Yes Liza, I told you I had my eyes on someone" she says cheekily "plus I like you, I don't know what it is but I do, I mean apart from the fact that you're hot as hell, there's something about you"
"You know I've come across a lot of interesting people in my life, I've travelled the world over and I know what I'm about to say is going to sound cheesy as fuck" I blush while looking into those cerulean eyes that have me captivated.
"But you have to be the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, there's a radiating beauty about you that is all to captivating, you leave me breathless"
"Oh please, I'm sure you say that to all the girls in the club"
"Well yeah, I mean N-NO NO. I don't say that to all the girls, just the pretty ones. Plus I usually take them home and have my way with them. Usually just a one night stand."
"So you've declined my offer to come home with me and now you won't take me home."
"No I wont Ari because first off I have work in the morning"
"Great" she mutters under her breath, seeing her feeling dejected I wrap my arms around her waist.
"...and 2, I really really like you, I've been awestruck the moment I laid my eyes on you on the rooftop, you don't deserve to be a one night stand girl, you deserve to be wined and dined and shown the love and taken on adventures with, what if I maybe want more with you
"You do?" as she furrows her eyebrows
"Maybe we'll see i guess" I play with her.
"U-u-ummm what do you mean"
Hearing my sister Caterina honk and yell out " Get in the car lady" I roll my eyes at her and turn to Ari, well I guess if it's meant to be we'll meet again.
Seriously ?
Yeah if we are meant to be together I guess our destiny will lead us back to each other.
You have got to be kidding me with this destiny bullshit.
Giving her one final kiss that is just the right amount of force and softness, slowing down I wrap her into another tight hug and with a final hurrah get back to playing tongue twister, we both go at it as it our life depended on it. Feeling like this might be our first and last kiss but deeply hoping not, I linger around for a little bit longer until I hear Caterina's damn honking.
Pulling away, I wink at her and as I start to cross the street, I blow a kiss and yell "Destiny, til we meet again beautiful"
Excuse the typos and run on sentences, I didn't get a chance to edit or proofread this. I just wrote what came to my mind and posted it as I desperately wanted to get a chapter out.
Would love your lovely review.
