Affair to Remember

Twenty Five

Demi

The house was far too silent and I couldn't handle it so I packed a few things into a suitcase and I started to drive. At first I planned to take a trip to see Matthew but then I got an idea, so I'm off to San Diego. I'm too addicted to Jesse to pass up this opportunity for us to be alone. I can just vaguely remember the location of his new restaurant.

It took 2 and a half hours to get to San Diego, that not including my little stop off for the bathroom. I had inputted the location of his restaurant into the GPS and I smiled once I eventually found it. The lights were on inside and they still seemed to be busy at work even though it was nearing 7pm. I managed to pull my car off to the side of the road and I reached for my phone as I shut off my engine. I tapped instantly onto Jesse's contact ID and I pressed my phone to my ear as I dialled his number, biting down on my lip.

"Hi Angel" I relaxed back against the seat as my smile widened. I could hear noise in the background.

"Hi Baby. You at work?"

"Yeah, I'm just heading out now actually. You okay?" I turned my gaze back to the restaurant that I was parked on the opposite side of the road too.

"I'm just bored outta my mind."

"You know I'd come entertain you if I could" my cheeks instantly began to flush, my panties dampened at the thought. I'd love nothing more than for that. "Give me a sec, Babe, and then you can have me back" I kept the phone pressed to my ear as he started to talk with someone. I actually started to zone out as he spoke about work. It wasn't until he spoke my name down the phone that I jumped back to reality. "Demi? Baby?" I sort of grumbled a reply as my eyes darted to the restaurant. Jesse softly laughed. "You okay, Angel?"

"Yeah, I-I'm here. I zoned out, sorry" my lips twitched at the corners as I watched him step from the restaurant. I bit down on my lip as I opened my car door.

"So, you got any plans for tonight?" I kept my eyes on him, a nervous flutter in my belly as I waited for him to notice me.

"No, I-I thought I'd take a trip" I had to hold in my giggle as his eyebrows scrunched together. I leant back against the car.

"A trip to where?" I rolled my eyes as I laughed. It was then that his eyes moved across the street. I lifted my hand and gave him a light wave. The way his lips twitched into a smile made my insides quiver and my legs turn to jelly.

"Hi" the call went dead as he hung up, shoving his phone into his pocket as he checked the road before deciding to walk towards me. His smile matched mine as his hands cupped my face and he leant to kiss me. I clutched at his shirt as I delicately slid my tongue along his bottom lip.

"What you doing here?" he mumbled against my mouth.

"I wanted to see you. I missed you."

"You got anywhere to stay?" I bit down on my lip as I shook my head. "I've got a rental apartment just down the street. There's a parking garage, come on" an electric shock travelled down my spine as he flashed me a smirk and he gave my ass a gentle pat. I watched as he walked around the car, my stomach clenching with anticipation. I eventually pulled myself from my inappropriate thoughts and I climbed back into the driver's seat. "I feel like I haven't seen you in ages, Baby" I flashed him a smile as he slid his hand along my thigh, the touch made my skin goosebump.

"Wilmer wasn't called away from work until yesterday, and then you were busy with your new restaurant" I started up my car. "How do I get to this rental?"

"Carry on straight and then take the next left" I nodded, keeping my focus on the road even though Jesse's hand on my thigh was making it harder. His thumb was softly caressing it causing goosebumps to form along the surface of my skin. I could feel myself beginning to dampen. I desperately need him. I'm craving that release I haven't had in days. As if he knew what was going through my head, his hand began to inch further up my thigh.

"Jesse, stop" I warned, placing my hand on top of his. "I'm trying to drive, Jess" he leant to kiss my cheek and then moved his hand down to rest on my knee.

"It's just down on the right, Baby" I nodded, turning right when he told me too. "So, when did you decide that you were gonna come and visit me?" he questioned as I found somewhere to park the car.

"Like 3 hours ago. The house was too quiet" I shut off the car and turned to him. He lightly caressed my jaw. My lips twitched at the corners as he leant in to kiss me. It was the growling of my stomach that made him pull away. He laughed, a smirk on his lips as my cheeks burnt.

"You hungry, Baby?" he sounded almost amused.

"I-I may not have had anything since lunch."

"I can't have that. How about we order takeout? There's gotta be somewhere good around here" I nodded my agreement. Jesse slid from the car and I followed behind him. "All I can offer you is either water or wine?" I softly laughed as I slid my feet from my shoes and left them by the apartment door.

"Wine will be fine" he nodded, sliding off his jacket. I watched him as he walked away, my entire body craved him.
