Cinnamon and Past Attraction

"You look incredible, Vice, I mean...even more beautiful than before." Miles smiled.

"Yeah, you look good too. Your hair is-"

"Long enough to make me look interesting, but short enough that I don't look dirty?" He smirked. He remembered I used to say that. "It's still just as soft, if you want to feel it."

"Maybe later." I giggled.

George cleared his throat. "I'm George, the other owner and Vice's boyfriend."

Miles looked surprised. "I thought she was allergic to that word."

"Oh be quiet."

"I'm Annie, which I'm sure you'll forget because you can't take your eyes off of Vice." Annie said in amusement.

"So Miles, Vice is the manager." Sin stated. "Are you okay with doing what she tells you?"

"Oh, I'm very used to following every one of Vice's wishes and commands." Miles assured her. "She used to say 'jump' and I'd be in the air before she pronounced the 'p'. I lived and died by her word. I still do."

George looked over at me and I shrugged like I didn't know what he was talking about.

"Well, Vice, why don't you give him the tour?" Fred asked.

"Of course." I smiled.

George grabbed my waist and kissed me hard. "I love you."

"Love you too." I said. "Follow me Miles."

We got to the back and Miles grabbed my hand, pulling me to him before pressing his lips against mine. I shoved him away and looked around.

"Miles!"

He merely grinned. "Ah, just like our first kiss. You push me away even though you feel the spark between us."

"No, Miles! No spark! I have a boyfriend." I stated.

"Well I had a girlfriend last time things started up between us."

"Yeah, and that's another reason I'm not starting anything up with you again."

"Oh, what's the worst that came out of us being together?" Miles questioned.

"Monica pushed me in front of a car!"

"Did she really? I knew she was bonkers."

"Yeah we all did. Anyways, I'm serious Miles. We cannot be together again."

"I don't know about that."

"Excuse me?"

"Well, you told me you would never have a boyfriend, and now you do. So if you're saying we'll never be together again, there could be a chance. I'm willing to take it." He grinned.

I was remembering all the reasons I had liked Miles. His unfailing confidence, the ease in which he lived life, that killer smile.

Before our first kiss I hadn't really thought much of him. He was a classmate and then he was Monica's boyfriend and an acquaintance of mine. The night we got together, I had fully planned on shagging Lucian. It was finally the right moment. I had a huge crush on him and our kiss during Spin the Bottle was way hot.

And then came my kiss with Miles. The moment our lips touched I felt something insane between us. I tried to keep the kiss friendly, but his tongue was in my mouth and I was enjoying it so much. I never thought he was feeling all of that too.

If I liked him any less I would have never dated him even when Monica told me to, but I couldn't help myself. I was head over heels for Miles Bletchley.
