"don't go to work today, babe. stay with me." alice sleepily moans in my ear. my sigh turns into a yawn as i pat her head.
"i got to. i'll be home around 8 tonight. okay?" i speak softly.
"hm, i'll be at moms tonight."
"oh that's right. damn,"
"it's fine, baby. i'll she mumbles as she starts to fall back asleep. i slip out from underneath the covers and head towards the bathroom. as i get ready for work, all i can think about is jamie.
i think about her all the time, really. i don't know why she has me so captured but she does. and i can't stop thinking about the way her lips felt against mine and how soft her skin was. and the smell of her overwhelms me still.
i finish getting ready, i grab all my things then head back into my bedroom. i kiss alice on the forehead and back away slowly.
i lock the front door behind me as i leave the house. walking down my porch steps, i see mary-ann and jessica playing games in the front yard. both giggling and having a great time.
i smile to myself and think about jamie again. i know its wrong for me to be with alice then have another girl on my mind, but i can't help it. jamie makes me crazy.
then i see her. she looks beyond beautiful. she had her arms and legs exposed as she laid out a blanket then proceeded to lay in the sun. she began reading a book, too. it took everything in me to not rush over there and lay with her.
i couldn't. even if i could.
i sigh to myself and head to my car. throwing all my stuff into the passengers seat, i take one final glance at my princess. i decide not to say anything to her and just get in my car, preparing myself for the drive to work.
i look at her through my rear view mirror and lightly massage the bulge growing my pants looking at her. i sink my head into my hands as i try to shake the thought of her from my mind.
i start the car and pull out of the driveway. i stop to look one last time at her and she's already staring my car down. she recognizes me and jumps up, racing to me. i roll down my window when she starts getting close.
"hey, harry." she smiles and leans in the car.
"hey pumpkin. what are you up to?"
"just getting some sun. where are you going?" she semi-whines.
"work, unfortunately." i take my glasses off to wipe them with my shirt.
"what time do you get off?" she studies my face and licks her lips.
"7."
"do you want to hang out with me afterwards?"
"sure, where?" i look at the road ahead of me so she won't see my eyes light up.
"my room." she goes quiet while picking at the loose leather on my door. i look back into her eyes.
"ehh, i don't know." i pick at her and her facial expression is hurt. "will there be something for me to snack on?" i add.
her face goes red as if she's thinking about something she's not supposed to. "yes."
"and how will i get in?"
"my family is leaving tonight. on a business trip. mary-ann is going to her boyfriends and jessica is going with my mom and dad. so are you in?" she asks again.
"wouldn't miss it, sweetheart."
