He grabs both of my arms and wouldn’t let go, “Just tell me why? I deserve to know what took you from me.” I shake my head no.
“Damn you,” he said. “Just tell me the truth, was there someone that you cheated on me with? I need to know Jay, don’t you dare lie to me.”
I look into his red rimmed eyes and whisper, “No JT, I would never have cheated on you. There was no one I loved more than you.”
At that point he tried to pull me to him and at the same time his door was jerked open and Coach Branch leaned in, “Problem here guys?” He notices JT’s hands on me and glares at him, “Higgins maybe you need to head to class son.”
I jump out of the car before JT has time to get out of the car and head for the doors. Coach Branch calls for me, but I do not listen. I only turn back for a second when I reach the doors. JT was walking beside him and neither were talking.
Running to my locker I grab my books and head for the front office. My parents had spoken with the school and because of their work schedule I was allowed to check myself out if I didn’t feel well. I didn’t do it very often because I didn’t want my parents to revoke that status, but today was that day. Driving home I notice I had missed a text message.
Kane - Hopefully I didn’t make you too late this morn
I wait until I get home and text back.
Me - Not much, was your bro mad?
Kane - He’ll get over it
Me - Can’t wait for tonight!!! What should I wear?
Kane - Something sexy ;)
Me- I can do that. See you at 7.
Kane – See U…btw…I know what they say about candy…..and it’s not true
Me - ????????
Kane – That it’s TOO SWEET……
Me – lol…Glad I like sweets then… ;)
Next I needed to text Cal.
Me – Please tell JT that I need some time. Will NOT be at home, going to a friend’s house for the night.
Cal – I’ll try Jay. What happened??? Coach B is pissed at him and JT isn’t talking to anyone. Coach B told Coach S that JT was harassing you and to back off. WTH????
Me – Please help Cal….just keep JT away for now. I’ll explain later…K??????
JT and I are over. We can’t go back and I’m not sure we can ever go forward. He would never let the past go. He can’t. After two years why was everything falling apart now?
Leaving my house, I decide to pamper myself so I drive to have a manicure and pedicure. Since it’s a full spa, I decide to have my hair styled with big curls loosely placed on top of my head thinking Kane would like that. I arrive home in just enough time to bathe and dress picking a simple black dress. Well simple in the front, but with a low drop in the back and super short. I add a killer pair of black heels and my diamond pendent necklace. Not much make-up, but tons of lip gloss.
Waiting for Kane to arrive, I wonder how indecent this skirt is going to look on the back of a motorcycle. When the doorbell chimes, I can see him standing through the door and well he is, WOW! Kane in a leather jacket and tight blue jeans this morning was sexy as hell. Kane dressed in black dress pants and gray knit shirt was panting dropping hot.
When I open the door he was smiling as he looked me up and down. Looking deep into my eyes he says, “Damn Jay,” and pulls me to him. His lips softly caress mine and I feel his tongue tracing my lips. “God you taste good,” his words are whispered into my mouth. He runs his hands down both my arms, until they are holding mine. I start to pull him inside and he hesitates. “Now I’m the one who is not strong enough to come in, and be able to leave for dinner. C’mon let’s go.” He smiles at me and those dimples make my knees go weak.
I lean into him and kiss first the right dimple and then the left. He groans and I smile, “Let me grab my purse.” Picking it up from the table, I follow him out the door.
Instead of his motorcycle he had driven a silver Chrysler Crossfire. “I love your motorcycle Kane, but I really love this Crossfire.” He just smiles and opens the passenger door to help me in. After he sits down, he turns to me and pulls me as far as he can toward him. His body heat radiates to me and I can almost feel a tangible connection between us. His green eyes stare into mine.
“Did you know your eyes are like molten silver when you look at me?”
“I was just thinking how yours were like emeralds,” I return. We were both whispering as I place my hand against his face and caress his cheek.
He grabs me behind my neck and pulls my lips to his. This kiss went from zero to sixty in seconds. My body went up in flames and I think I moaned or maybe it was him. His hands were in my hair and mine were holding his face. He gently pulls my head back, separating my mouth from his.
