That one Walter boy~ Cole Walter

23. Next level

The night settled in and I helped some of the waitresses clean up. When I retreated inside, I managed to get Parker and Benny to bed.

After a few stories, I finally got both the excited children to sleep. I then spent the rest of the evening helping Danny to pack any last bits for his New York trip.

As I scanned Cole's scattered bed, covered in clothes and shoes, there was a box that laid open with the beloved tea pot that broke on one of the first days we had arrived. It looked as though someone had fixed it.

"Did Cole mend this?" I held it up to Danny and he nodded with a smile. "Jackie couldn't believe it." He replied.

"I need to go find him." I suddenly jumped off the bed and patted Danny's arm, "Good luck with the rest of your packing."

Before I made it to the door, he pulled me into a hug "if I don't see you before I leave tomorrow, I'll miss you Evelyn!" He stroked my hair, "Thank you for everything."

I retreated into his friendly hug, "No, thank you Danny!" I pulled away to look at him, "I hope you smash Julliard and I also hope I see you soon!"

As I ran to the door, I turned back to see his sad eyes. Spontaneously, I ran back into his arms "God, I'm gonna miss you so much!" I sighed.

He laughed before ushering me away, "Now go get Cole, before Jackie does or whatever." I skipped to the door before turning around with a raised eyebrow.

"Jackie would never." I laughed. He shook his head with raised eyebrows, I think trying to indicate that it was just a joke.

I gave him one final wave and fled the room, tightly clutching onto the box containing the fragile tea pot. I held onto it like it was my baby, never wanting to ever let it break again.

I scurried down the stairs, passing Jackie on my way through. She was rushing up them all flustered, like she was trying to get away from something.

"Look Jackie, Cole fixed our teapot!" I gleamed.

Her lost eyes suddenly darted up to look at me and then down at the pot, "Ev, I really need to talk to you."

"Can it wait until later?" I asked, "I really need to go thank Cole."

I continued to walk down the stairs but stopped at her whimper of "Ev."

"Are you okay, Jackie?" I turned around, examining her startled face.

Her eyes searched my face containing a glint of worry.

"Jackie?"

"Yeah um, no don't worry." She hurriedly ran her fingers through her hair, "I'll tell you..." she paused, "Later." She then turned away and walked back up the stairs, strange...

I searched the empty downstairs before coming to the conclusion he was hiding in the barn like the other night.

As I stepped outside, the cold enveloped me but I didn't care; I knew with in minutes I would be wrapped up in Cole's arms.

I barged my way through the door, "Cole!" I called before I noticed him sat in a tight, white vest staring at the ground.

His eyes pricked up to mine, a worried expression similar to Jackie's.

"Hi." I grinned sitting down next to him.

"Hey." He hummed with a lot less enthusiasm than me.

"Cole, why did you fix this?" I asked, holding up the teapot, "I mean it practically looks good as new."

"Oh it's nothing." His eyes avoided mine, "I just knew how much you and." He scratched his head, turning away, "And Jackie missed them."

We sat in silence, him thinking about god know what and me reminiscing my sweet family.  

"Thank you Cole." I smiled.

"No really you shouldn't-" before I could let him finish, I crashed my lips into his.

"Ev." He pulled away, his eyes searching mine.

With little hesitation, I didn't hold my feelings back "I love you Cole."

His eyes darted from mine and down to my lips and back up again. I gave him a reassuring smile to show I truly meant it. He didn't respond with words but instead, reconnected our lips with passion.

I met his energy, allowing him to pull me into his lap. Our bodies collided in sync as I rocked back and forth with the flow of the kiss.

In the heat of the moment, my hands found their way to the edge of Cole's vest- I trailed my fingers across the hem before smoothly tugging it off.

Quickly, he pulled away with heavy breathing, to allow the vest to go over his head. He smiled cunningly before pulling me back in and allowing his hands to roam my body.

Edging my top slightly, his hands gently caressed my back. He continued to feel me before reaching for my top, "You sure about this?" He asked, pulling away.

Immediately, I nodded, desperate to reach this deeper connection with him. "Are you sure?" I asked, hoping the feeling was mutual.

Again, he didn't reply with words but instead yanked my top off and started a trail, from my neck and to my breasts, of sensuous kisses.

Gently, Cole removed my bra and began to caress and kiss my breasts. Before I knew it, he strongly picked me up and smashed me back down onto the sofa with a kiss.

From then onwards, I let him roam my body and I'd never felt pleasure like it before.

Just like I had predicted, I was no longer feeling any sense of coldness. My body was now warm inside and out and my heart thumped with love and adrenaline.

As the barn creaked in the wind, the couch creaked with passion. All sounds soon stopped when we drifted off to sleep.
