Shenandoah's POV.
I watched as everyone filled the dinning area. I made sure I was last to enter, I really don't like earning attention to myself. I could see my sister in front of the crowd with her hand through Damian's.
Typically behavior. After everyone was in the hall, I made my way in, moving to the far end of the huge table. At the head of the table was my Dad, as usual. Mom was on his right side, Carmody on his left with Damian right next to her. I looked over to my Mom, spotting an open seat, most probably reserved for me. I sat down immediately, as the starter was being brought out by the butlers.
I must have been dazed because I found myself staring at Devaun across from me, who was next to Damian.
His facial features were just breath taking, his piercings really suited him. What was really bothering me was I only saw three piercings, when he said he had four. I tried not to dwell on that so much. His hair was cut in a fade, where the top of his hair was in an afro like. But on the sides it was shaved, till little hairs were left over.
"Honey, don't you like your food?" My Mom's voice brought me back from my daze. I immediately looked away from his piercing eyes, looking at my plate of food. It was champignons farcis.
------------------------------------------------------
The food was great, right down to the mud cake dessert. During the whole dinner the hall was filled with noises or cheerful banter and light conversations. Once in awhile I would look at Devaun, only to catch him staring at me. He would immediately look away every time I caught him, acting like he was on his phone, to not make it obvious.
"Thanks for all coming to our 20th anniversary, we hope you enjoyed yourselfs." My Dad made the final tost and thanks before everyone started exiting the hall walking towards the front door. I wanted so badly to as Devaun why he was staring at me ...did I haemorrhage find stuck in between my teeth when I was talking? Was the mud cake all over my face? I had to know. Aaron usual I was the last one to exit the hall, looking around the doorway area, searching ....for .... I wasn't particularly sure who I was searching for.
I felt a hand snaking around my waistline, I also felt a shiver run down my spin. The hand was so warm against my cold skin, I felt like my skin was on fire.
"You look cute when you are eating." The owner of the hand around my ignited waistline finally spoke. It was deep, husky and sounded very seductive.
"Is..is that why you were staring at me?" I finally found my voice, asking one of my top questions for tonight.
"One of my many reasons." I could here the smug tone in his voice as he placed his chin on my curly hair.
He removed his hand from my waistline, I immediately felt empty, lost. Like I wanted, no needed his touch to keep me whole.
"Well Shenandoah, can I please have your digits, I would love to contact you. " he was now standing in front of me, I looked into his grey eyes. They dug into my soul. He could tell I was mesmerized by his eyes, so he smiled, showing his perfect white teeth. Letting his lush pink lips stretch into a handsome smile.
"Shenandoah..." he waved his arms in front of my face, trying to get my attention. I hadn't realised I was staring at him till he brought me back to reality.
"Ohh sorry. I was just ...." I couldn't explain myself. What was I ment to say?
Ohh I was just staring at the way your lips stretch into a handsome smile, just to reveal your perfect white teeth. That's all.
Instead my body decided to just blush, was I ...embarrassed? That is a first. I looked down at my fumbling hands, trying to hide my shame.
I felt an index finger placed under my chin, forcing me to look up, into those piercing grey eyes.
"Don't be shy, I don't bit." He had a smirk plastered on his face. I quickly switched on my phone, going straight to my contacts.
I pressed my number, before showing Devaun the screen. He removed his hand from under my chin. Once again I felt empty from the loss of contact.
After he copied the number down on his phone he handed me back my phone.
"Where is your fifth piercing?" I couldn't help but ask, if I was going to be able to sleep tonight, I had to ask the most mind stressing question I had for him.
He smiled, moving closer to me, I could feel the electricity building up withering every step he took, every inch closer he came. I think he also felt the electricity because he looked shocked as well. Mimicing my facial expression.
"Don't worry, I took out my nose ring tonight, but I do have one." I had been counting the metal rings all over his face, not the holes. I just nodded my head while looking at his right arm. It was completely covered in ink. I couldn't really make out what the tattoos were because of the long sleeve white T-shirt he was wearing.
"Do you have tattoos?" He finally asked after a few seconds of silence between us.
"Yep." Is all I said before walking off to my Mom who was saying bye to Aunt Jimmie.
I could feel eyes on me, so I turned, head to the right to look at the pair of eyes focusing on me as u walked away. I looked at a pair of grey eyes. I saw him bit down on his bottom lip, pulling in his lip ring between his teeth.
