Ch.2 Have You Ever Felt Temptation?

*********
"That so great! I was worri-" Rowan started, but I cut her off.

" But we can't be together" I whispered.

**********Corey's P.O.V

I looked into Rowan's misty eyes and felt like a complete and utter jerk.

"What do you mean we can't be together? Why can't we? Corey, I really like you." Rowan whined at the brink of tears.

I hugged her tightly, inhaling the scent of her hair. It smelt strongly of deep lavender but I forced myself to pull from the hug and put my hands on her shoulders. I made sure we were looking into each other's eyes.

"It's the age difference Row. I'm 17 and you're 14 a-and with age comes desires, wants, needs...temptation." I explained.

Its was true too. When I simply look at Rowan it makes me want to do so many things that I can't do because she's still like a kid. We could date but I don't trust her to tell when I've crossed a line and I don't want to rush or force her into anything. I'd never wanna hurt like that.

"Corey I don't care. It's not like I'm anti-affection. And I would tell you if I didn't like something. Just, please. If you feel you crossed a line you can-" She swallowed and breathed " Y-you can..." she started to cry. "If you cross the line you can b-break up w-with m-m-me." She finally managed to get through.

So I have two choices; say no like a monster or do it and risk hurting or making her happy.

"Ok, then. I guess we can date?" I breathed out, closing my eyes.

She closed her eyes and slowly hugged me, breathing through her nose. She whispered a thank you and I tentatively hugged back. Is this really happening? After so many years of telling myself it's for the best?

"Now.... about that whole temptation thing. What if I want to tempt you?" She questioned, giggling, "I think you'd be hot when you're all frustrated like that" she smirked.

I gulped hard. Breath Corey, have self-control. I looked into a deep mocha eyes and bit my own lip, giving a crooked smile. She giggled and rocked on her heels, making my heart and stomach flutter. I slipped my hand down her arm and onto the small of her back, asking a silent question. Rowan bit her lip--still smiling--and got on her toes to attach her lips to mine. I sighed into the kiss wrapping my arms around her thin waist. She felt warm and was buzzing with life. The kiss was perfect as she was.

Then, out of nowhere, she pulled away and pecked my nose. I flinched away in shock sending us into a tumble of started laughing. Row perked up on her toes and tucked her hair away, her eyes getting wild.

"Oh, let's go tell Sab about this!" Rowan squealed.

I laughed at her adorableness, grinning at the idea of calling her mine. Her smiled only grew wider as I grinned wider.

"Oh alright, let's go," I said still chuckling a little.

She pouted (and looked adorable may I add) and motioned for me to pick her up. I rolled my eyes playfully as she grinned cheesily.

"Piggy back ride!" she squealed like an infant, getting on my back.

I opened the door and the entire crew was outside the door, with Sabrina standing in front of them all.

"Omg is it happening? Is my ship finally happening? It is isn't? AAHHH! I need to make Cowan T-Shirts and bracelets and UG, YAY!" Sabrina squealed while jumping up and down all giddy.

Rowan and I looked at each other and started cracking up again. We kissed (again) and everyone cheered. This was gonna be one very interesting month.
