He’d tasted her, knew how sweet her pussy was, and how good it felt wrapped around his cock. He wasn’t going to walk away.
“Then you need to go and tell her because she wasn’t giving you the time of day today. Clearly, there’s something there.”
“She wants conversation. I like listening to her talk.”#p#分页标题#e#
Vincent laughed. “The girls in high school, and everyone you’ve dated they’ve always been the center of attention. Damn, they could even talk to themselves about themselves, that’s how crazy it got. Elena’s not like that, man. She’s … different. Also, wear a helmet with her, she’s a disaster waiting to happen.”
“I’ve got to head over there.” He didn’t like the way she’d ignored him today, or the fact she’d left without saying goodbye. In the month that she’d been working for him, there had been small details that he had come to love about her. Her smile, the way she was always willing to say hello to someone. She was an optimist. Rarely negative. He adored her.
“Go and see what the problem is. I’ll be here when you get back,” Vincent said. “I’ll stop Danny from destroying your place.”
“You’re a life saver.” He didn’t wait around. Climbing into his truck, he took off heading toward Elena’s apartment. It didn’t take him long to get there, and as he was knocking on her door, he had a fleeting moment of panic. Crap. What was he going to say to her? He’d never been in this position before, and he didn’t like it.
Elena opened the door, and she paused. “Cole,” she said.
“Elena. I wanted to talk.”
“You want to talk.”
“Yes. I want to talk.”
She stared at him for several seconds, and then stepped back. “Come on in.”
He stepped into her apartment, and she closed the door. She looked nervous.
“Are you all right?” he asked.
“Yes. Why?” She watched him with her back to the door.
“Do I make you nervous?”
She smiled then, and it was like the first time he had seen her, so many years ago. He wondered if she even remembered that day in the schoolyard. She’d been five years old, and he’d been eight. It was her first day, and she’d fallen off the climbing frame that was in the corner of the playground. He’d been there to help her up, and as he took her hand, she gave him that dazzling smile, and his entire world seemed to change. The whistle had rung, and neither of them could stay as they ran to their classes.
He would see her often on the playground, but their encounters were always few and far between. Instead, he’d watched her from afar. Going to high school had been hard. He found himself in class missing her, which was strange considering they didn’t really have a connection. She’d been part of his daily life for so long. It was a relief when she finally joined high school.
“No, of course not. You don’t make me nervous, Cole.”
She pulled him out of his thoughts, which he found a relief.
He smiled back.
“You don’t smile enough,” she said.
“I don’t.” He had a smile on his face right now, and he saw she was just trying to make excuses, which was cute.
“No. You also don’t talk enough. What’s up? Did I do something wrong?”
“Yes, you did. You’ve done a whole lot wrong.”
“I did?” she asked, frowning. “I don’t understand.”
“I can list them. First you left in the middle of the night. I could spank that ass of yours, but I have a feeling you’d enjoy that.” This got another big smile from her. “Then today at work, you ignored me.”
“You were with your friends.”
“You ignored me. You didn’t say goodbye, and you hurt my feelings.”
This time she rolled her eyes, but there was also a smile on her lips.#p#分页标题#e#
“You’re too cute,” she said.
“You’re too sexy, Elena.”
“You’re too perfect.”
“And you’re not perfect enough. I want to make this work, Elena. I want you to be mine, and I’m not using you to show my friends I’m not a bore.” He stepped toward her, cupped her cheeks, and stared into her grey eyes. “Go on another date with me.”
She tilted her head to the side. “Another one?”
“Yes, this time, I want to invite you to my place.”
“Oh, it’s that kind of date?” she asked.
He shook his head. “Yes and no.”
This brought a chuckle.
“First, I want to cook you dinner,” he said. “You come and wear comfortable clothes, and we’ll hang out and talk.”
