He likes me? Why. I am not sure why he would like me. I was too young and plain for someone like him. For some reason, I liked him too, and that scared me. How my mom told me she fell for my dad is how I feel about him. He feels like home. A safe place for me whenever I need it, no questions. He would take me as I am, no matter what. I knew that somehow deep in my bones. I feel ever pulled towards him. Like an unbreakable connection pulling us together. It scares me. If he leaves me or something bad happens, I would end up like my mother. I did not want that to happen. Plus, he would probably get bored with me or think I am too immature. Did I want to open that door? I shouldn't, but I decide to tell him about my day. I was curious about what he thought about it, but I needed some space. I couldn't think with him so close to me. `
"I am not ready for anything." I meekly tell him.
"I understand. I won't push if it's not what you want.
"Thank you." I felt so much relief from telling him that. But I am also not surprised he felt that way. Since meeting him he has been nothing but a steady current for me to navigate at my own pace. I needed that and I was grateful for it. I moved away from his grasp. The moment he felt me pull away, he let go of my thighs. I had a strong urge to kiss him. Wouldn't that go against what I just told him? I locked eyes with him, and he groaned a little.
"Beautiful... I don't want to push you, but I may not be able to help myself if you keep looking like you want to kiss me." He says, and I realize then lust was filling his gaze. He takes his free hand and adjusts himself. Oh my god, I didn't realize I had that effect on him. I mean, he had it on me, but damn. I look back up at him, and he is clearly holding back.
"Beautiful...." he warned, practically growling. I knew it wasn't at me, but more at himself to behave.
"Just.... one.... I am curious." I wanted to kiss him so bad. Screw telling him about my day. I can do it later. I might not have the courage to kiss him again. Or admit to wanting to try it. It was hard to ignore the building desire.
"I will try to hold back...." I see him grip my bed sheets to physically hold himself back so I can try at my own pace. His grip was already so tight on the bed. I haven't even touched him. Something about this lit a fire in my belly. I step fully into his space. Slowly. I eased my face to his. Our lips brush ever so gently. I could feel him holding back. His lips were trembling. He wanted so much more. I could tell with every brush our lips made together that something was building. I wanted more. Without much thought, I grabbed his face. Running my hands through his hair. I could get lost in this. Why did I want to hold back? A rumble let out in his chest, and it was the sexiest thing I have ever heard.
"Beautiful…" he practically moaned. He was still gripping the bed. He was struggling. Something about that was so attractive.
"Yes...? I said so breathlessly, I almost didn't believe my own ears.
"Oh fuck Dani, that sound..." He moaned again, and fuck, it was so hot. Again, why was I holding back? This felt so good. Too good.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
With that, the spell was broken. I jumped so far from him that I almost landed in my new dresser. Jess popped back into the room and giggled. I looked over at Luka laying down on my bed. He had one hand covering his privates and a pillow over his face. I knew then Jess had an idea of what we were doing. She eyed me with mischief in her eyes.
"I am assuming you were thanking him for helping you?" She laughed. "Well anyway. When you calm down and don't look so guilty, come say goodbye to my parents. They are leaving soon.
"Of course." I practically ran out to follow her. Jess was grinning ear to ear. She could be so smug at times. I heard the door shut again, and heavy feet falling behind us. I wanted to look back at Luka, but I knew if I did, I would turn bright red. Jess's parents stood by the door with more bags than I usually see them pack. Something was up.
"So, girls. I trust that you will be on your best behavior. You are both adults. Jess's mom tells us.
"Of course," I tell Jess's mom. Jess just nodds her head.
"Okay, good. I expect nothing less, especially from you, Danni. You are always so good and responsible." Jess's mom smiled warmly at me. She was always so good and treated me like part of the family.
"yes Ma'am." I return her smile.
"Now for a bit of news. Since you girls are adults. And Danni, we want you to be comfortable while you adjust to staying here. My husband and I talked about his upcoming work trip. I will be joining him. So you two will have the house to yourself." Jess's mom says. Well that would explain the extra bags.
"What...?" I was in total shock. I looked at Jess and her mom both wore amused expressions. They clearly were enjoying my shock.
"Now, Luka, you're a man, and Phil said nothing but good things about you. And meeting you, I agree with him. You are welcome to visit Danni as she wishes. Now I expect no funny business. Your 36." Jess's Mom waggled a finger at him. I almost laughed at how silly it looked.
"Of course. I promise to respect Danni and all your rules whenever she allows me to visit." Luka tells her, Hearing him say my name again made my stomach do funny flips.
"Okay, good. Now we are off. The emergency contacts for where we are staying is on the fridge. Don't forget to check the mail every day, girls, okay?" Now she was waggling her finger at us.
BEEP BEEP BEEP.
"Okay, girls, that's our ride to the airport. See you guys next week. Jess, don't forget to keep the gas tank full in the car." Jess's parents waved Bye at us. Luka moved in front of me and helped them with their bags.
"Bye mom and dad. See you guys soon." Jess and I called out.
