I call for a taxi and grab the gym bag I keep in the staff room for any unexpected sleepovers, I haven't needed it in a long while and almost took it home a few months ago. I'm glad I didn't. It holds the essentials, a change of clothes, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrush, clean underwear and condoms.
It has served me well to be prepared in the past and I've been spared the telling walk of shame more than once.
I know tomorrow that even if I had to wait in last nights clothes for a taxi I would feel no shame. Not with my Angel, my girlfriend? Is that what she meant? I hear hear words in my head.
Well I told you I liked you and you kissed me and we're like this and oh god I've gotten ahead of myself. I'm making a fool of me aren't I?
We're like a this? We were together, her body on mine. Are we together now? She thought she had got ahead of herself, she must think we are together, am I her boyfriend? I've never been anyone's boyfriend. Ever. No one had ever bothered to ask me, my services have always been no longer required after the sun comes up.
"You sure you can just leave? Aren't you like the boss now?" Beth's soft voice drags me from my thoughts.
"It's fine, security will stay and lock up after the cleaners come and pack everything away, I offered but the boss man was firm on the fact that tonight my only duties were to be the best man" I smile down at her nervous face.
"Masters, taxi" Bruce calls from the door, the guy is seriously like a mountain, solid and tall. I'm six five and he's taller than me, three times wider too but mostly around the middle.
"Dude, please you're talking my ear off again. You just need to calm down" I smile and slap his shoulder, he is not a man of many words and I've never seen him smile.
"Yes boss" he nods dryly as I pass.
"Goodnight ma'am" he adds to Beth as she follows me out.
"Good night Bruce, say hi to Sally for me. I hope this lot don't keep you out too late tonight, I'm sure she would love to see you home earlier than usual" she smiles up to him.
"I'll cross my fingers" he gives her a lop sided smile and closes the door behind us.
"What was that?" I ask, one brow raised.
"What? Bruce? Oh we are friends, we go way back" she laughs at me.
"Really?" I smirk.
"Jace not everyone's name is on the VIP list, I can't just walk in as I please" she tells me as I open the taxi door for her.
"You can now" I tell her.
Poor form Coop, not putting your wife's BFF on the list is just down right rude.
"Thanks big man, Rose will be so jealous" she giggles and I smile, I just made my girlfriend happy.
It feels good.
"Rose? The redhead?" I ask.
I've been trying to keep up with who's who in Izzy's group but it's not always easy in the dark with large crowds.
"Yeah, we sort of have this competition going. I love her dearly but I will crush her to be Izzy's number one girl. She was throwing me shade all night, she wanted to be maid of honour, it was great" she beams not even embarrassed for herself.
"Women?" I shake my head laughing.
"C'mon you know you love us" she giggles and slips her hand inside my jacket, her palm sliding over my ribs.
I watch her face as she snuggles closer to me, she hasn't even realised. It makes the action so much sexier and I gulp. She looks up at me when I don't answer her and her breath stops, her fingers tense on my body and she catches up to herself. Our eyes lock and I feel a stirring inside me, but not in my boxers like I would expect, in my chest and my heartbeat picks up rhythm.
"We going anywhere in particular? We can sit here if you like but the meter's running" the taxi driver calls out.
Beth apologises and rattles off the address not taking her eyes off mine, I'm relieved, I can't speak right now, my throat feels like it's closed over completely.
"Jace? This is okay right? I'm sorry I should have asked" she starts to pull away and I hold her in place.
"Beth, it's more than okay" I whisper and I feel myself leaning into her, she meets me halfway and I kiss her.
I never want to stop kissing her, I've never been big on kissing, but right now with this woman it's all I can think of. Beth's hand in my jacket caresses me reminding me of a contented kitten pawing, gently stretching it's claws in and out, it's soothing and maddening at once. My thumbs make small circles on her cheekbones as I hold her face to mine, angling her head to better take her mouth. She bites my lip stretching it between her teeth and my cock jumps in response, I kiss her harder drawing a moan from her.
"Damn woman, how do you do that?" I groan pulling back to breathe.
"Do what?" She breathes in a very husky voice that screams sex.
"Kiss like that? No one kisses like you" I tell her again, I will tell her till she believes me
"I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of experience" she mumbles embarrassed.
"Honey that was a compliment, don't apologise" has no one ever told her that her kisses burn like fire? I feel so fucking hot right now.
"Okay" her voice is quiet and shy.
"Tell me something about you I don't know" I say to distract us both from our thoughts, mine of taking her into my lap and making her mine and her's from her insecurities.
"My last name is Reynolds" she giggles and I shake my head, how did I not think to ask that?
"I'm sorry honey, I didn't realise I didn't know that" I say embarrassed.
"It's fine, I'm flattered you know my first name" she smirks "Now your turn, tell me something about you" she continues.
"Alright but you have to promise not to laugh, I cry when I watch chick flicks" I admit and she laughs.
"Me too" she sighs smiling so hard, she looks so beautiful right now.
