Games Of Hearts

7. A kiss, A lie and A goodbye

The moment Jack leaned in, his chest grazing my back , I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body. Goosebumps erupted across my skin, and a soft gasp escaped my lips. It was as if my body had been waiting for this moment, and it responded with a visceral intensity I'd never experienced before.

As our bodies touched, I became acutely aware of Jack's chiseled abs and the hardness of his physique. It was like my senses had come alive, and I was drinking in every detail of this encounter. The sound of his voice, low and deep, sent shivers down my spine. "I'm sorry" - the words were laced with a sincerity that made my heart race.

As I searched my memory, I recalled the moment I first saw him. Descending the stairs, my gaze had locked onto his, and I was drawn to those piercing ocean-blue eyes. Amidst the sea of people, my attention was fixed on him alone. The sharp angles of his cheekbones, the few open buttons of his shirt revealing a hint of his chest, had left me mesmerized. I couldn't tear my eyes away, even as others wished me happy birthday.

Now, standing so close, I was enveloped by his rich, seductive scent - a heady mix of cologne and something distinctly him. It was as if my senses were surrendering to his presence, and I was powerless to resist. Any girl would be drawn to Jack's captivating charm, and I was no exception.

As I walk closer to him, the alluring scent of his cologne envelops me, making my heart flutter. I gaze up at him with a flirtatious smile, my eyes locking onto his piercing blues. "Want to grab a drink with me?" I ask, my voice husky and inviting.

His eyes widen in surprise, and he hesitates for a moment, his gaze lingering on mine. "Ahhh, " his deep voice sending shivers down my spine.

I take a step closer, my voice laced with innocence and desire. "Don't deny it if you're not committed to anyone, okay?" I say, my eyes sparkling with mischief. "Please?" I add, giving him my best puppy eyes, my lashes batting coyly.

He chuckles, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and nods. "Okay, deal," he says, his smile making my heart race.

As we walk to the bar together, our arms brush against each other, sending sparks of electricity through my body. I feel like I'm melting into his gaze, like he's seeing right through to my soul. The air is charged with tension, and I can't help but wonder what the night has in store for us.

Dj turned on the soft music and dim lighting of the bar create a cozy ambiance, and we slide into a quiet corner, our legs touching under the table. I can feel the heat of his body, and my pulse quickens as we order our drinks and begin to chat.

"So, tell me, Jack, what do you do?" I ask, taking a sip of the whiskey and making a face at the bitter taste. He chuckles, his eyes sparkling with amusement, and I can't help but notice the way his smile creases the corners of his eyes.

"You're a new drinker, huh?" he asks, raising an eyebrow as he takes a glass of whiskey in his hand. He adds a splash of soda to both our glasses, and I watch, mesmerized, as the liquid swirls together.

"I just turned 18," I say, taunting him with a playful smile. "Well, does that clarify your answer?"

He laughs, the sound deep and husky, and I feel my heart skip a beat. "Ah, yeah, that explains it," he says, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Well, in that case, I'll make sure to take it easy on you."

As we sip our drinks, our fingers touch, and I feel a jolt of electricity run through my body. I look up at him, and our eyes meet, the connection between us palpable.

"I'm doing a part time job," he says, his voice low and husky, and I feel my heart flutter. "And I just finished my high school"

"That's amazing," I say, my voice barely above a whisper. "I've just completed high school too"
