We arrived back at Jess’s house sometime later. She wasn’t the least bit shaken up from being swarmed earlier and so I didn’t bring it up. I didn’t want her thinking that something like this would send me running.
When she got into the car earlier she wore her usual mischievous smile whenever she’d done something I probably wouldn’t like. Long story short, I had an iPhone now and as much as I tried to argue with Jess that it was too much, she wouldn’t listen. Her argument being that I’m her girlfriend and she was allowed to buy me whatever she wanted. Didn’t stop her before but I just let her win as usual. There was no point in ever arguing with her.
Jess unlocked her front door and I was pulled in quickly. I think she was concerned about us being followed back from the store which was a weird thing to think about but according to her, it happens. Before I could even register what was happening I felt Jess grab me and slam me against the now closed door.
“Um, ow?”
“Sorry,” she giggled as she leaned in and pressed her lips against mine, hard. The events of today were suddenly forgotten as I felt Jess run her tongue along my bottom lip, asking for entrance. The kiss turned heated and I gripped Jess’s waist tightly as my senses were consumed with nothing but her. We did eventually have to break apart and when we did I felt breathless. Judging by Jess’s heavy breathing I’d say she was feeling about the same.
“I’ve been wanting to do that all day,” she said as she pressed her lips to mine briefly a handful of times.
“Hmm, maybe we should just say in for the rest of our lives in that case,” I laughed.
That earned me a slap on the arm as Jess pouted at me.
“Were you really not bothered about earlier, babe? I know it’s a lot to take in but—“
“Jess, I promise I’m fine. It’s out of the ordinary obviously but I’m not bothered by it. It’s fine,” I assured her.
“If you’re sure…” she said as we made our way to the living room. “But please promise me that if it does start to get to you you’ll tell me? Please?”
“I promise,” I told her as we sat together on the couch.
Jess suddenly held up her pinky and I looked at her in disbelief. Was she serious right now?
“Pinky promise?”
I sighed and linked my pinky with hers, planting a kiss on hers for good measure. That seemed to satisfy her and so we continued cuddling together on the couch for a bit with not a worry to speak of after that. Jess had slipped her fingers underneath my shirt and was running her fingertips across my bare stomach after curling into my side comfortably.
“What time do you have to work tomorrow?” she asked.
Well shit. I had forgotten all about having to go to work in the morning. That meant I needed to go home tonight seeing as all my stuff is there still.
“I have to go in at nine and I work until six. Do you want to come stay at mine tonight?” I asked pleadingly. Jess just got back home and I felt like I still hadn’t seen enough of her yet. Then again, maybe I never would get enough.
“I’d love to,” she said as she pecked me on the lips once. “I’ll go get my things and we can head over.”
It only took Jess a few minutes to get an overnight bag together before we were ready to go. We drove to my apartment with the radio playing quietly in the background and my hand tightly clutching hers the whole way.
“Can I borrow your laptop, babe? I need to send a few emails,” she said after we had gotten in.
“Sure, it’s on my bed,” I told her.
