Stay Peachy

Chapter Eleven - Life to be Lived

My eyes groggily open and I stretch my arms high above my head, pressing against my headboard.

I furrowed my brows when I look down to see an arm resting on my stomach. Now completely awake, my eyes shot open and my head now faced the brunette next to me.

Her eyes flutter open from my stark movements startling her as she takes me in. My mouth sat slightly open and some strands of hair had fallen across my face. She reaches a hand out. I hold my breath while she tucks my hair behind my ear. We lay in complete silence, our shallow breathing the only sound in the room.

"You need to brush your teeth." Sierra says with a smile. I playfully bat her face and we both sit in silence, looking at each other.

I glance at her lips, "We didn't....?"

She shakes her head, a small frown sneaking onto her lips. I bring my thumb and press it against her lips, trying to smooth out her frown.

"We didn't." my hand immediately retracted from her pointed voice before she moved the duvet off of her, standing up off of the bed. Her eyes met mine, my body feeling like a fire was set up right below me.

What if I kissed her right now? Would she kiss me back? Would she recoil in disgust?

She looked down at me as I sat in my bed. Feeling a bit exposed, I grab my duvet and wrap it around me. "So... why are you here then?"

She scoffs and my eyes shift to a corner in my room. Okay, sore spot. I try to remember last night but all I can remember up to is dancing with Holland.

Sierra shook her head, her hair swayed even after the movement stopped. Her eyes met mine, softening as she walked back over to me. She sat down on the bed and reached for my hand. I mindlessly gave her it and in excruciating silence, brings it up to her lips. She looks at me through her eyelashes and suddenly I swallow the lump in my throat.

"I should've known." her lips tickling the back of my hand. For this incredibly sensual moment I cursed myself for looking like a child who just called her parents to go check for a monster under her bed.

I stare at her, "Hm?" was all I could get out and she sits up straight, leaning towards me. My eyes refused to leave the spot where her lips were. They were so perfectly shaped, the colour a soft almost dark red. Plump. Kissable. She smiles and those pearly teeth make an appearance. My heart would explode if it kept up with this rate.

Her smile widened and she lowered her voice, "that I wasn't going insane all these weeks. You know you wear every emotion so clearly on your face?" I think I'm going to pass out. Without thinking, my eyes flutter shut and my body leans the rest of the way to meet her lips. Although, before they could meet she pulled away. "Eden, I now definitely know what you want." Her eyes twinkled as she gets up off the bed again, tugging off the pyjama bottoms she borrowed. I shamelessly stare at her ass as she bends over to pick up her pants that were neatly folded on my vanity chair. The red lacy thong leaving pretty much nothing to the imagination.

She looked back at me over her shoulder as she tugged on the jeans so smoothly. Then followed the top. My mouth dried up as I watch her lift the shirt over her head, my eyes darting to the matching red lace bra on the vanity table which she picked up as quickly as I had noticed it. Before I knew it Sierra was fully clothed and out the door without a word.

I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, flushed, dazed and rolled up like a burrito.

When I had walked into the office the following monday, I did not dare look to see if a special french woman was sitting at her desk. Instead I had looked to Zack who had entered the building with me by his side.

He who has continued to voice his disapproval since seeing her walk out of my bedroom with a cheesy grin on her face after the work night out.

This girl plagued my mind. The moment that happened three days ago replaying over and over. It felt like I hadn't seen her in almost a month.

When lunch rolled around, I was sat at my desk with my homemade cheese and chicken pasta scrolling through the news on my monitor. A figure rested a hand against my desk, my body jolting from how silent they had been. When I look up with wide, startled eyes I smile when Sierra is looking down at me, her head tilted to the side.

I open my mouth, but before I could say anything the brunette looks around the room before grabbing my wrist, pulling me up and out my seat before leading us to the balcony.

The sun was high in the sky, a crisp breeze blew through the air. When we had stopped, I lay a hand on the girl's shoulder. When she turned around I didn't get to say a word before her lips were on mine.

A gasp left my throat as she pressed me into the tinted glass wall, my lips syncing with hers as she kissed me. My hands wrapped around the back of her neck, pulling her into my body. When she pulled away she looked down at me, that playful smile squeezing at my heart.

"I thought I could spice up your shift." Her eyebrows lifted and I couldn't help but smile back at her, tugging at her collar to bring her lips towards mine. Desperately needing friction, a hand lets go of her collar and reaches to grab her free hand, pressing it between my thighs. A small growl leaves her throat as she moves the hand, bringing them to my chest and feeling my bra through my shirt.

I let a sigh slip through my lips, her tongue pressing against my lower lip. My mind was going a hundred miles per minute, everything in my body screaming at me.

She pulls away, lips slightly glistening from saliva. Her eyes look down at my chest and she brings a hand up, holding a button between her index and thumb.

"For another time," she lets go and I feel the button drop, sitting back in its original position. Pretty metaphorical for how I'm feeling too.

I gape up at her and she presses her thumb against my bottom lip, using it to drag the lip down, letting it go and watching it spring back in place. She presses a quick kiss against my lips and pulls away, walking over to the door into the office. Not looking back at me once.
