Ray of Moonlight

Chapter Eight - Ray

"I should probably wash the dishes." Leo offered after we both finished eating.

I slid my plate in his direction. "Of course, you should." I agreed with him. He collected the dishes before moving to the sink.

My eyes followed his every move, while I constantly gulp with the way his muscles flex. He may be younger than me but he isn't far too behind with the meat in the body.

I can already feel my ears heating up just by watching him. While he is in the middle of washing the plates, his phone rang.

I looked on top of the table and found nothing. I looked at the kitchen counter but still wasn't able to find his phone.

"Will you please answer that for me?" he asked, glancing back at me.

"Where's your phone though?" I asked as I still haven't found his phone.

"It's here in my pocket." I stood up from the where I am seated and walked up to him. I dipped my hand into his left pocket but found nothing. I felt something else though. I smirked to myself at the not-so direct contact.

"It's on the right pocket." He said, his voice a little bit shaking.

"You could've said it from the start." I took out his phone from his right pocket. I showed him the screen which shows that Diane is calling him. I frowned at the emoji attached to the name.

"Answer it, then put it on speakers." I obliged like a good obedient little kid. After doing so, I put it down on top of the kitchen counter. I walked to the couch at the living room and not-so discreetly eavesdropped on them.

"Hey hottie." Diane greeted from the other side of the line.

Leo cleared his throat. "What's up?"

I heard Diane laughed hysterically at the other side. "The moon." I, too, almost laughed at how good the joke was. I restrained myself from laughing though.

"Very funny." I could almost imagine Leo rolling his eyes while saying that. "Seriously though, what's up?" he pressed on.

"I'm bored." Is this how couples do it nowadays? Call their partners whenever they're bored?

Leo finished washing and started drying the dishes. "Where do I fit in that?"

"Entertain me." Diane ordered. My mind went wild at the meaning behind those words.

Leo groaned. "Go to sleep, Diane." Is this dude serious right now? Passing up such opportunity?

"You're no fun." I could hear the disappointment from her voice. "Do you have ice cream?"

Leo shook his head, unsure. "Nope?" It came out more like a question than an answer.

"How about pineapples then?"

"Do I look like the grocery to you, Diane?"

"Nope. But I know you have a fridge. And fridges usually have food."

"Look in your own fridge."

"I just emptied it. I'm still hungry though."

"Buy something. There's like a mall near your house." I didn't know Leo could get frustrated too.

"Or you could just bring me food."

"That's it. I'm hanging up."

Leo was about to press on the red button and end the call when Diane shouted. "Wait."

"What?"

"You're good looking. You're smart. You're nice. You're single. And oh, you're wealthy." She laughed at the last part. "Why are we not together?" Upon hearing what she just said, my mood instantly changed. I almost smiled widely too if it weren't for Leo staring at me, somewhat confused.

"Why don't you ask yourself that?" Leo silently answered though I'm sure, Diane heard it.

Leo pressed on the red button and hanged up. "I'm sure I've got the most infuriating friend ever." He groaned as he moved to sit on the empty space beside me on the couch.

"I actually thought you are together when we were at the beach." I told him. I didn't know why but I just felt like I should.

"She isn't Diane if she isn't acting all weird." I heard Leo sighed beside me.

"Have you informed your parents that you're staying over?" I asked, purposely changing the subject.

"Yeah. Sent them a quick text message." He puts his phone on the small table beside the couch. "Do you have ice cream?" he suddenly asked.

I laughed. "No wonder you two are friends." I nodded my head. "I've got some in the freezer."

He quickly stood up then walked to the freezer. He grabbed the first tub of ice cream his eyes laid on, grabbed a spoon and came back on the couch.

He immediately scooped a spoonful of ice cream and then with his mouth wide open, shoved it inside. His eyes widen which made me laughed. "Brain freeze!" I commented.

"Want some?" he asked me once he swallowed the ice cream in his mouth.

"Sure." I opened my mouth waiting for him to give me some.

He stuck out his tongue at me. "Go and get yours."

I reluctantly closed my mouth before protesting. "But that's basically mine."

"I can't find your name on it." He pointed out as he looked around the ice cream container.

"That's nonsense!" I said at how ridiculous what he just said.

He continued eating my ice cream. "Not to me."

I just silently watched him as he eat ice cream because I'm too lazy to get one for me and I'm not that hungry to be able to eat a whole tub to myself.

When he's almost done, he finally offered me some. "Here" He offered, as he shoved a spoonful of ice cream in my direction.

I happily opened my mouth ready to eat the ice cream when it fell on to my bare stomach. I hopelessly watched it to where it landed. It's cold. My eyes grew wider and my mouth hanged open as I watched Leo scoop it back onto the spoon and then shoved it in his mouth.

My breath caught up in my throat as he enjoyed it, closing his eyes. "Can't waste something heavenly."

He reopened his eyes and looked at me innocently, as if he just didn't do something weird. "Excuse me." I coughed out as I walked to the kitchen counter to grab some tissue to wipe what melted of the ice cream on my stomach.

With my member starting to get all hard and horny, I decided to just go to bed first. "I'm gonna go to bed first." I informed Leo as I walked up the stairs.

"Yeah, I'll just finish this." I heard him say before I enter my bedroom.

I plopped myself on the bed, pulling the sheets up until the waistband of my shorts. I took some deep breaths to calm myself, but my member just keep getting harder.

I haven't even calmed myself when Leo entered the room. "Can we watch something?"

"You sure are one demanding creature." I said, ignoring my hard-on. "Suit yourself." I said as I pointed at the tv hanging on the wall, opposite the bed.

"Where's your hard drive?"

"In the drawer." I answered pointing at the mini cabinet right below the tv.

Once he found it, he connected it to the tv then started going through the movies that I have. He plopped himself on the space beside me, then pulled the sheets over his lower half body.

"What should we watch?" he asked, while going over all the movies that I have.

"You decide. I'm going to sleep anyway." I turned on my side, my back facing him.

"I'm not gonna let you." He said as he turned me back on my previous position, climbed on top of me, then sat on my waist straddling me.

I was surprised, to say the least, at his action. I don't know if he even realized what he's doing. He repositioned himself and he sat right on top of my boner. My ears heat up and my eyes grew wide.

"Okay, okay. I'll watch with you." I said with a shaking voice, defeated. I thought he'd go back to his side of the bed after I agreed but he just stayed there, while looking down at me.

I gulped and I watched his eyes follow the movement of my Adam's apple. His intense stare on me was broken when my phone suddenly rang.

He blinked rapidly at the sound of my phone ringing before climbing off of me. I regained my composure as I grabbed my phone from the bedside table.

Clearing my throat, I answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hi! Raymund, I sent an email to you. You should check it." I recognized the voice as our Editor-in-Chief's. It must be something urgent if he personally called me.

"Okay sir." Then he hanged up.

I immediately connected to the wifi and my phone dinged as I received the new email. I silently read it and I felt delighted once I finished reading it.

I'm being sent to Seattle to check over some things at our branch there. This day couldn't just get any better.
