The Summer I Won't Forget

Chapter 5

There must have been something in the air for the next thing I know my mouth Starts functioning on its own
"Would you like to stay for a drink? " I blurted and only smacked my forehead after wards " I I mean just for a drink, not you know, I mean, not that your not.... You know,hot, just im not that type of girl and I just thought you might like a drink to, you know, say thank you? And im blabbering on now so I shall stop"
Elijah chuckles deeply and studies me for a bit before taking a step closer till his chest was pressed against mine and I couldn't help but stop breathing.

I don't know where I got the confidence from to invite Elijah in, but here he is standing in my living room staring at me, but not just any ordinary stare. It was as if he could see me. The real me. Sounds silly but I was mesmerised by his eyes and presence so much it scared me.

"Would you like something to drink?" I breath out a breath I didn't realise I was holding.

"Coffee should be fine" he smiled

"Right" and I set off making use both coffees "you can take a seat you know, you don't have to stand, well, unless you want to then that's perfectly fine" I blurted out.

Elijah laughed and the took a set on the stools on the kitchen counter.

" can I take your coat?" I asked

"Sure" Elijah said taking it off and handing it to me.
All I could see was muscles, big, fat, bulging muscles and I was scared of I was to huge him that he would crush me into ashes. I quickly took his coat and put it on the coat hanger near the door.
We were silent while I clustered about making our coffees.
" I made some cupcakes earlier if you want to try some?" I said whilst handing him his tea.

" I would love to" he said taking a sip. I handed him a cupcake  and watched as he took a bit. " this is really good"

"You like it?" I smile like a baby who has just been given a room full of candy.

"This is amazing, you made this?" Elijah said between mouthfuls of his second cupcake.

I giggled

Wait

I just giggled

What am I? Four?

" yeah I did I can show you sometime if you want?" I blush

Elijah swollows what's left of my cupcakes and smiles " what about now?"

"Now?!" My mouth wide open "it's 11:30" I say looking at my watch.

"It's never to late for cup cakes, do you have all the ingredients?" He asks

"Yeah..... but it's late, by the time we finish it will be 3!"

" great" Elijah smile widens

"I dunno..." I hesitate

" why are you tired? If you are then I completely understand" Elijah says with so much concern it's heart warming.

Am I tired?

No

Do I want cupcakes ?

Yes

Do I want to make them with Elijah?
Hell yeah!

Do you know what

Fuck It

With a wide smile I agree to make some   Cup cakes and let me tell you Elijah was an excellent student. He listened to everything I told him carried out instructions tremendously. You could tell once he puts his mind to something he put 100% into it. And I have to admit I found that quite sexy. We worked our butts off and worked well as a team and no time we had put the cupcakes in the oven. Now it was all a matter of waiting, so we took a wine bottle and two classes and headed over to the fireplace.

"I think me and you make a great team" Elijah said taking sip of his wine.

"I think so too" I say whilst taking a sip from my glass.

"When did you leant to bake?" Elijah asks and shifts his body so his facing me. We're sitting on the floor so we are closer to the fire.

"Well my mum tought me how to bake, every Sunday was bake day and every Sunday we would have a competition to see who's dish was better. We would invite caddie and her family round to judge and mum always used to lose" I chuckled. " my mum hated loosing so sometimes I would purposely make my dish the worst so she could win" I smile thinking of the memories and being at home with my mum.

"Sounds like fun" Eljiah says with a smile looking at the fire.

" what about you do you have any silly family traditions that you do?" I ask resting my arm on the settee.

"We have theme nights. Sometimes we will sit and watch movies all day sometimes we will have a game night, or have family over for dinners. But my favourite is when we go to our country house, it's so quite and we mostly spend the day riding our horses, going for picnics, mum would cooks nice roast and we will sit and eat till our stomachs can't take no more." Elijah smiles a genuine smile one that reaches his eyes.

" sounds wonderful" I sigh and ignore the image of me and Elijah riding of into the sunset.

"It is" Elijah days with a sip of his wine " my life changed for the better when Alex's family took me in" Elijah Looked at the fire and refused to meet my eye it even from the corner I could see that he was trying to block out a memory so I choose not to push on the subject but to change it.

" well let's check on the cupcakes " we got up and went to check on them and found them nearly done so we started making the icing. After leaving the cupcakes to cool for a bit we put the icing we hade made on and left it to dry.
"So what do we do with the left over icing?" Elijah asked whilst running a finger then liking the icon of it. I watched slowly and lost my words because all I could think about was his lips.
" uhhh, put it in the bin?" I suggested but began to feel my heart beat faster as he walked towards me. And I completely stopped breathing when he was a breath away. He slowly took some of my icing from my bowl with his finger and put it to on my lips.

" taste it" he commanded

And I could help but shiver and at our proximity and having him touch me.

"Can I try some of yours?" He asked looking me right in the eye.

"S..sure" I barely scrapped a reply.
He took his finger again and ran it along my bowl and put it on my lips again and before I could react he licked the icing of my lips.

I froze

I was basically so solid that I could be mistaken for a rock. I couldn't help but lick my bottom lip, throw out this hole transaction we never broke eye contact it was as if we didn't need to say anything.however I could read Elijah his face was blank the whole time until he finally broke into a slow side ways smile.
" tastes even better" Elijah smirked " they should be done by now right?"
" um... Y....yeah yeah. I'll...er... Go check" his smile grew even more as I blushed like there was no tomorrow.
I felt tingly sensation go all around my body. And couldn't help but imagine how wonderful it would be to feel that way all the time. It was exciting yet dating but had a soft feel to it. What ever it is I was hooked and I wanted more.
"Aria" Elijah waved his hand in my face.

" sorry" I murmured looking down. Elijah took his index finger and tilted my head up so my eyes meet his.

" your face is yo beautiful, you must have it up so everyone but the ground can see" he said with a serious face.
I can't believe a guy like him finds me beautiful, me?!!
"Elijah you have a lovely way with words, you can make anyone feel special"

"I only want to make you feel special aria" he said leaning in.

This is it!
His gonna kiss me
Do you want him to kiss you?
HELL YEAH

I closed my eyes and waited for his lips to touch mine but instead felt a light peck on my check. I snapped my eyes open in shock and blinked a thousand times.
Did he just kiss my check?!
Elijah looked like a cat who just got the cream "shouldn't you check on the cupcakes?"
Is this guy serious?!
I looked at him and tried to register what had just happened. Elijah was leaning in as if he was going to kiss me buy however kissed my check. I glared at him and stormed to the kitchen. I was mad at him but I was mad t how much I wanted the kiss.
