Still Can't Get Over You

Chapter 5

The same night; New York;
Dylan's POV;

Corey and I had sat talking for a little while; talking about the past few weeks that we hadn't seen one another, talking about the things that I was still feeling for Jeff even after all these years. It seemed that no matter how much distance I put between us I couldn't get him out of my heart and the thought of going back to North Carolina seemed to leave me filling up with a dread that I couldn't explain.

I was older now; I was wiser when it came to men and their games. I knew that I was being unfair to him but it made me feel like I was handling things much better if I blamed him and told myself that he had just been playing a game.

Because I knew if I allowed myself to believe that he had somehow felt something for me then I would just lose it big time, I would become consumed with the hope that he had wanted me as much as I had wanted him.

"Night chicka," Corey said as we came to a stop in front of my bedroom door.

"Night Corey," I smiled as he hugged me tightly and placed a gentle kiss to my cheek.

"It will be ok you know; you are gonna have me, Jim, Claire, Roy and best of all Carmine; we'll show this Jeff guy that you don't need him ok?" He tenderly flicked my chin in an affectionate way like he always did when he tried to cheer me up.

"Thanks Corey; I love you mate,"

"Love you too, tiny," He smiled.

"Oh don't start with the tiny dude...have you seen yourself lately shorty?"

"Ahh she mocks me; she must be feeling better," He grinned as he moved along the hallway until he stopped at his door and turned to look at me. "I do love you though," He whispered back to me.

"I know you do, I love you too. Goodnight," I gently pushed my door open as he whispered goodnight and disappeared in to his room and I in to my own.

My eyes adjusted to the dim light from the lamp that was by Carmine's side of the bed, and he was lying with his arms placed behind his head; his gorgeous eyes open and looking at me.

"Did you have a nice time with your friends?" He asked.

"Car please..." I started not in the mood for another argument with him at three in the morning.

"No baby, I was genuinely asking," He said as I slowly stripped out of my cloths and moved to my side of the bed where I pulled the covers back and climbed under the crisp material; feeling the cold snapping around my half naked body.

"Then I did have a good time thank you," I lowered my head down on to the pillow as he snuggled in to my back; his arms entrapping me in a warm embrace that seemed to transfer from him and in to me. "Mmm you're nice and warm,"

"You cold beautiful?" He whispered in to my ear as his lips moved over my flesh slowly causing me to shiver slightly.

"A little bit," I admitted turning in his arms until I was lost in his almost grey eyes as they seemed to burn in to my own.

"You know what is good to warm you up?" He asked kissing slowly over my neck.

"Mmm make up sex?" I purred feeling my body reacting to him in ways that had scared me when it first happened.

"Mmhmm," He growled pulling his body away from mine and looking down at me clad in just my underwear. "And since I was the one in the wrong; I think that means you just need to lie back and enjoy," He groaned running his hands down over my chest and unclipping my front fastening bra; allowing it to fall from my breasts and instantly I could see the hunger flashing in his beautiful eyes.
