CANDACE MILLER

“So Candace, you never did tell me why you came to California this summer” Connor said as he sat next to me on couch. The two of us were alone in the boys apartment, and it had been the first time I had ever been alone with him.

To say I was nervous would be an extreme understatement. My palms were sweating uncontrollably and my heart was pounding so fast I could feel it in my throat. My previous experiences with love were...well, not the best. Being into bands such as Sleeping with Sirens and Pierce the Veil in the middle of Oklahoma isn’t the best way to make friends. I kept to myself a lot, my sister being my best friend.

Now, I was thrown into the heart of LA, where everyone loved my style and sense of music. On top of that, I am in the apartment of possibly the hottest boy I have ever met, stuffing my face with noodles as a way of coping with my nerves.

I swallowed fast and managed to mutter, “My mom paid for my sister and I to go”.

“Now I know that isn’t the real reason, is it?” He smiled breathtakingly as he rested his arm on the back of the couch.

“Well, no not really. I wanted this to be the summer that changed everything, the summer I finally figure out who I am. And I kinda was really hoping I would meet Katie and well…you” I blushed deeply, but refused to drop my eyes from his gaze.

“Am I everything you hoped I would be?” He said as he took a huge mouthful of noodles, leaving one long noodle hanging out of his mouth as he posed awkwardly and made the duck face.

“Yes and more” I laughed and quickly grabbed my phone to get a picture before he moved.

“You won’t show anyone that will you?”

“No, I’ll use it purely for blackmail” I chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, sending the photo to myself on my email so I would always have it.

“And what do I have to do, Ms. Miller, to get you to erase that ever-so-embarrassing photo?” I clicked the send button and made sure to hear the familiar whoosh sound before looking up to see the space between Connor and I had decreased dramatically.

“Lemme think about this. Well first I need you to get on your knees and beg” I smirked, and he actually went down on both knees.

“Anything else I should do while I’m here, specifically with my mouth?”  I smacked him on the top of my head and signaled for him to get going with it.

“Dearest Candace, I beg eternally of you that you could please, please deleted that wretched photo of me that has contaminated your phone with such sin” He finished and got back on his feet, me standing up with him. I grabbed both our plates and took them to the sink while saying, “That’s a good start“ over my shoulder and silently chuckling to myself as I washed the dirty bowls.

I felt two arms wrap themselves around my waist and Connor whispered, “I know how I can finish it” before he proceeded to leave ghost-like kisses down my neck and on my right shoulder. I shuddered in pleasure, my body craving more but I pushed him away.

“Go wait on the couch, Lover Boy. I have to clean these dishes” I said and he sulked away, not catching on in the slightest how turned on I was.

I finished the dishes and dried them all, cooling down in the process as I made my way back into the main area of the apartment. I didn’t see Connor on the couch, so I decided to walk down the hallway that lead to the 3 bedrooms.

“Connor?” I tried as I opened the door into the room he shared with JC. The two beds were unmade and dirty clothes were strewn everywhere.

“Here” I jumped in surprise and turned around to see Connor behind me, a smirk playing upon his flawless features.

“Why in the world did you scare me like that?” I yelled, punching him in the arm.

“I wanted to be in a room with a door” He said quite mysteriously.

“Why, might I ask?” My body warmed again, hotter than when we were in the kitchen at the thought of all the possible reasons why he would want me in his bedroom.

“So I could do this” He forcefully pushed me against the bedroom wall, his body molding into mine. “I’ve wanted you since the moment I laid eyes on you, Candace. Now that were alone I won’t miss the opportunity to do this” He kissed my neck, “and this” he bit my ear, “and most of all this” and that’s when it happened. He kissed me passionately, his hands  rubbing circles on my hip bones. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his muscular torso, both of his arms now cupping my thighs. I ran my hands through his hair, the hair that I had been dying to touch for years. I found his sweet spot and began sucking, making him moan uncontrollably loud.

“Connor? Are you okay in there? Please don’t tell me you stubbed your toe on the side of your bed again!” We heard the familiar tone of JC’s voice on the other side of the door. Connor gently put me back on the ground and the two of use scrambled to find something innocent-looking to do.

“Alright man, I’m coming in” JC opens the door just as I flop on his bed, Connor’s Mac in my hands with cat videos up on YouTube.
