Spitfire

5. It's A Mistake

Chris
Here we are again entangled in each other's arms. Why can't I stay away from her? But fuck she just molds to me perfectly.

I pull her flush against me, she moans again, and fuck I want her. This can't keep happening. She pulls away from me gasping for air.

"This is so wrong Chris."

"I know." I move her hair from her face.

For some reason I just need to touch her. I never thought of Stacy in a sexual way before that night in the pool. But by God I have been since then.

"It's a mistake."

She backs away from me like I just slapped her. Fuck why did I have to open my mouth? I see her walls coming up again and damn it I hate that. I wish she wouldn't put up these walls, and just be herself. Like I know she so desperately wants to.

"Well no one asked you to be the knight and shining fucking armor jackass."

God she infuriates me. One moment I want to be kissing her, and the next I want to be done with her period. Why does she do this to me?

*"Because it's fun, I love the way you react." Will this woman ever let me tell my side of the story without her interrupting? "Seriously Stace!" She gives a cheeky grin and shrugs her shoulders. I just laugh, this woman will be the death of me. "Sorry jackass you may proceed." Is all she says and I just shake my head and smile at her. She is one of a kind that's for sure.*

We are interrupted by her phone, she looks at it and smiles, then glares at me.

"You can go now since you need to help Lucas move in. I on the other hand need to get ready for a party."

Yup the cold bitch is back.

"So that's how it's going to be. Stacy?"

God it feels weird saying her name.

"Sure why not. This is who I am right. I don't give a shit about anyone but myself. Remember it was a mistake right Chris."

Fuck I want to kick my own ass right now.

"That's not what I..."

She flings her arms in the air.

"I don't care! Get the fuck out! I don't need you, I don't need anybody!"

She pushes me to her door and pushes me out. I turn around to say something,but the door gets slammed in my face.

Idiot!

I slump down the door and lean my head against it. Stacy screams and I hear something crash in her room. As I'm about to get up the door flings open, and I fall down flat on my back.

She looks down as she wipes her eyes, just as surprise to see me. I must look like a fucking idiot that I am and I see her lips twitch.

"What are you still doing here?"

I roll around to my stomach and look up. Giving her a cheeky grin, I strain my neck to look up at her.

"Just enjoying the view from down here."

Really that's the first thing I can come up with.

"Jackass" she mutters, as I try to get myself up. She puts her foot on my back and smiles.

"Actually I think I like you down there. It looks like you're grovelling at my feet."

Damn why do I think that is hot?

"Very funny Spitfire now let me get up."

She blows her hair out of her face. "Fine." She removes her foot from my back. Once I'm up she starts laughing.

"You think that's funny."

"Uh huh!" She giggles and by God I love that sound coming from her lips. I step closer to her and she steps back.

"You're in for it now."

I rush at her and pick her up over my shoulder, and drop her on her bed.

Hot damn she looks like a damn goddess with her hair fanned out like that. I shake the thought from my head. I can't leave here with her mad at me for some reason. So I do the only thing I can think of. I start tickling her.

"N-no! C-Chris p-please" she says in between fits of laughter.

"I didn't know you're so ticklish."

"I-I'm gonna k-kill y-you!" She screams as I tickle up her sides. When she starts coughing from laughing so hard I let up.

I hover over her. "I didn't mean it the way it came out spitfire."

She sighs and looks at me. "I know." She turns her head to hide her face from me. I really like the shy look on her.

"Are we good?"

I sit back on my legs to put some space between us. She scoots to the headboard, I guess feeling the same way I am.

"Yeah, we are good for now." She smiles at me then laughs. "Until you piss me off again."

"I'm sure that will happen often." I say because apparently I can't think straight around her after that first kiss.

She shoves me and I pretend to fall back, but it backfired because I actually fell off her bed.

"Oh my God Chris are you okay?"

I see her trying hard to hold in the laughter. It doesn't last long and she falls back on the bed laughing loudly.

"Oh shit my sides hurt so much."

"Well maybe if you stop laughing at me." I say as I prop my head up on her bed still sitting on the floor.

"Dork" she sticks her tongue.

"Crazy ass woman"

I get up and start walking towards her door when she calls out to me. I turn around and look at her.

"Thank you for today, besides the mishap earlier."

I nod my head, "it's cool. Do you want to help us out?"

I know she shouldn't be alone after the news she got.

"Oh I forgot you have that party you're going to."

When she puts her hair behind her ear and shrugs.

"I lied. There's no party. I would like to help if that okay."

"Sure"

She jumps off the bed and hooks her arm with mine. "What are we waiting for?"

I laugh as we walk out of her house.

It's a mistake for kissing her. It's a mistake for being this close to her, when I know nothing will come of it. I'm the relationship type of guy and well she is not. I don't blame her for it, because what she has been through.

But it would be the biggest mistake if I didn't have her in my life. She makes me feel alive, even if she infuriates the hell out of me.

No matter what she will always be my Spitfire.
