TW: mentions of sex

She's so close… fuck I just wanna… I want her so bad… I smile at her, concealing my true feelings for her behind a cocky smile.
“Are you going to kiss me or what?” she whispered to me, she just loves to torture me doesn't she?
“Nah, just gonna stay here till you push me off.” I'm not letting her win this battle, she will give in first and I will never let her forget it.
She glared at me, like she usually does, her cute scowl is making this much harder for me.
She suddenly grabs my hoodie, pulling me in like she's going for it, then she stops short. God she is good at tempting me, she smiled right back, seeming so confident that she was going to win this.
I look into her beautiful grey eyes, admiring the look of nervousness and confidence at the same time, she's adorable.
“Eliza,” I whisper softly, I want her to give in and kiss me so bad, but when she responds I can't hold back anymore.
“Liz.”
“Liz…” I repeat, she said she hated nicknames, yet here she is telling me to call her Liz. This girl drives me crazy, I didn't even notice how big I was smiling when she said that.
I give up, leaning in and gently kissing her. When I pulled back she looked at me, her eyes full of desperation, and just as she started leaning in again her phone went off.
She looked at it for a good couple seconds then turned back to me, kissing me aggressively then slipping out of my arms to check it.
when she moves my arm I almost fall over, and she laughs at me as she looks for her phone. She cursed under her breath and left the room, however, she left the door open so of course I listened. I heard her talking to someone. Who? I have no idea.
“I'm at Ray's, he's sick. I brought him soup,” she said loud and clear, must be one of her parents, probably her mom. I start coughing when she gets in the room, leaning against the edge of my bed and trying to stop.
“You good?” she asked, she's so cute when she worries, the way her brows furrow slightly and she smiles slightly, like she's trying to calm my nerves or something. I give her a thumbs up and she sighs, I finally stop coughing and she talks again.
“You'll never guess what my mom just said” Judging by her expression it's probably something funny, but I'm more interested in teasing her.
“So you're just here to bring me soup huh?” I say, cutting her off. My tone is dripping with hidden meaning, and I raise my eyebrows at her, smiling slyly.
“No I'm here to fuck you because that cough is just sooo hot.” she said sarcastically, just that simple sentence made my mind race. I scoot back on the bed, lying down and gesturing for her to join me. I pat my thigh, silently telling her to sit on my lap, she crawls onto the bed like she is going to, and it makes my heart race briefly to have her over me, before she dramatically lays down next to me.
“Oh come onnnnn I'm not that repulsive,” I responded fake frowning, yet I immediately wrap my arm around her, adjusting to the position she wants.
“I mean you did kiss me didn't you?” I lay flat and she cuddles up against my side, resting her head on my chest and wrapping her arms around me.
She looks adorable like this, and I quickly pull a blanket over us to hide my… excitement. It's been there for a while but it just got a lot more prominent.
“Shut up, be glad I'm even here,” she says as she settles in my arms, my breath gets a lot more ragged as I try and calm myself down, my heart is racing and with how close she is I know she can hear it too. I can feel my face getting hot, I can guarantee I'm blushing hard right now, and when she looks up at me like that… fuck…
“Ray?” she whispers softly, her sweet voice not helping my situation at all.
“Yes?” I respond, my voice strained by… it… and my still present sore throat. Her hand, previously resting on my chest, starts to glide down, down to my stomach before I stop her, making my situation obvious by my refusal to let her continue.
“Are you hard?” she asks, propping herself up on her elbow and looking at me like she's offended. I can't even look her in the eyes right now, I feel bad about this… it's not just a physical reaction, having her so close is making my mind wander too and I know I shouldn't be thinking about her like this, not till she is really mine.
“Ray. answer me," she says threateningly, making me look over to her, i still hold her hand tight, trying to keep her from doing anything. She quickly wiggles her hand free and throws the blanket off, I sigh as she notices it. The secret is out, and now I have to face the consequences.
“Ray!” she exclaimed, looking back up at me with wide eyes, I look at her with a guilty expression, but I couldn't help but find the situation a bit funny. I wait for her to start yelling, but instead, she just lays back in my arms.
“I hope you know I'm not helping you with that.” she whispers as she settles again, I smile and sigh, happy she didn't freak out.
“I know” I respond, pressing a soft kiss on her forehead and laying back again, catching a glimpse of her face turning red before she hides it, i can feel her heartbeat quicken slightly.
When I first met her I never expected to be here, but I'm absolutely never complaining, this is perfect.
