A Kiss ( #Wattys2016 )

XXVII.Chocolate.

It's just some cookies April. You can do it. Maybe Tyler would actually acknowledge your hard work, he knows you cant cook to save your life.

Mustering all the courage I grabbed the bowl as I went through the recipe. Following the instructions carefully step by step, accurately measuring every ingredient I prepared the cookie dough successfully.

I placed my cookies in the oven and set the timer. After that I melted some chocolate as per instructed in the recipe and added a little whipped cream to it.

When I was done with chocolate icing the oven timer went off. I took out the tray and almost squealed in delight at the sight of perfectly baked cookies.

"What are you doing?" Tyler's voice rang through the kitchen and I stiffened. I slowly turned around to see Tyler leaning against the kitchen door frame.

"I... mmm... baking some cookies for you." I said and he walked towards me and sat on the stool by the counter.

"Really?" He smirked. "Are you trying to kill me off by food poisoning April?"

I frowned "No."

"Then you taste first." He demanded with a smirk.

What is with this smirk of his! Oh, hell I am sure my cookies are the best.

But they are not fully done yet, I still have to apply chocolate to them.

Immediately an idea shot in my head.

I smirked before pulling the apron off me. Without asking permission or telling what was going to do I began unbuttoning his button-down shirt. I was being a little too bold for my own good, but I just couldn't help myself.

Dipping my finger in the chocolate sauce I traced a line across his neck to his chest. Before he could protest since he was still in a semi state of shock from me unbuttoning his shirt, I licked the sauce off his neck trailing my tongue down his chest earning a soft growl from him. I picked up a cookie and took a bite. He just sat there completely stunned. I dangled a cookie in front of his face pulling him out of his state of shock.

I smirked. "Look, I didn't die. Now your turn."

"Trying to seduce me Hayden?" He smirked back.

"Why, is it working Callahan?"

Before I could really process what was happening, he had me sitting on the counter top in front of him. My skirt had ridden up quite a high. Without saying a word, he dipped his finger in chocolate and traced a line along my inner thigh sending involuntary shiver through me, damn him.

He smirked before placing the cookie between my lips.

What the hell I have gotten myself into?

Slowly he licked the chocolate off my thigh going deep, my breath hitched and I refrained myself from moaning. I gripped the edge of the counter. He stood up and laced his tongue along my jaw finally taking the cookie from my lips.

Holy freaking crap! That was hot!

I was too shock to move when he whispered in my ear. "Delicious."

With that he backed away... " my room in five minutes." He demanded and ran away upstairs.

It took everything in me to compose myself. I could feel burning between my legs. I let out a ragged breath and slid off the counter adjusting my skirt.

Okay, it was a bad idea.

***********

I took a deep breath and ran my fingers through my hair as I knocked on the closed door of his bedroom.

"Come in!" He called and I slowly stepped inside to find him leaning against his study table.

He stared at me intensely "close the door!" His demand caught me off guard. I waited for him to explain but he didn't so I sighed and closed the door.

"Lock it." My hands froze on the doorknob as my breath caught in my lungs.

I heard his footsteps behind me as he got closer and closer. He passed one arm at the side of my waist reaching out for doorknob. His breath brushed the back of my neck, giving rise to goosebumps. He locked the door but kept his hand on the knob. His nose made contact with my ear, rubbing against it gently.

"I know Tyler, it was a bad idea. Sorry about that and everything I have been doing... I know you are not satisfied with my attempts.... I understand you don't want me back. But please don't play me Tyler. I am sorry I couldn't get you back." I sputter out and he takes a step back. He looks angry and this lets tears break free.

"God, April. Will you stop with your own conclusions?" He crosses his arms over his chest and I turn away to get out of here.

"You take one step and I am throwing you over my shoulders." Tyler warns me. I ignore him and take my step away from us.

Okay, I shouldn't have but I did and now I am looking at the world upside down hanging on his shoulder.

"Put me down Tyler or I'll swear I will claw your skin off."

He doesn't say anything as he hurries to his bed. He puts me on the bed and I scoot as far away from him as possible. He narrows his eyes at me grabs my waist pulling me on his lap and traps my hands behind my back with one of his hand.

I glare at him and he glares back.

"Will you just listen to me once?!" He yells and I flinch at it. His eyes soften upon seeing this.

"I am sorry sweetheart." He leans forward and rests his head on my shoulder letting my hands go.

"I never believed that fucking shitty lie you told me." He cups my face as he continues. "I let you go that day because it hurts me that you didn't trust me enough."

"Tyler." I say softly almost pleading.

"I wanted to tell you that it was all Skylars ploy to break us up!"

"I am sorry Tyler." I say as I get up from his lap. "I should have trusted you."

A tear runs down my face and he stand up and wipes it away with his thumb.

He pushed me up against the door. As he cupped my face. I was breathing heavily when my eyes met his.

"I love you so fucking much!" He breathed against my mouth.

"I love -" his lips were on mine before I could finish that sentence. I eagerly responded. Our lips moved against each other, making us forget everything. He pressed me against the door as we kissed passionately.

He pulled back a little.

"How about you, me, chocolate and bed Hayden!" He smirked in my ear before falling on the bed backwards with me on the top of him.

"Not a bad idea!" I smirk back kissing him again.

After we broke our little make out session we just went downstairs and decided to enjoy chocolate cookies.

"Tyler... it was Skylar who told me the truth." I told him as he played with my fingers.

"I know, Chase told me! But I am not ready to forgive her just yet. I don't have a big heart like you. And besides she was my best friend, she shouldn't have done that." He said frowning.

"I understand but eventually you have to forgive her." I smiled as I shoved a cookie into his mouth.

He chocked but smiled non then less.

" You are too good for this world April, what would I do without you!" He kissed my nose and I chuckled.

Well, everything got back in its place thanks to the chocolate cookies.
