Innocent (Brantley Gilbert)

Chapter 22

Snow's POV

"Baby, I'm leaving for work" I say kissing Brantley's cheek from behind the couch. "C'mon your not gonna be back til 3am, at least give me a real kiss" he whines looking up at me from his position on the couch. "If you want it your gonna have to come get it" I giggle, scampering into the kitchen to get my purse before I leave. I hear Brantley get up and walk after me so I start running instead of just walking and right when I get to the bar he grabs me and spins me around. He smirks and dips me then connects our lips, roughly squeezing my ass in the process. "Hmmm" I softly moan into his lips then break the kiss because I know if I don't I'm going to be at least a day late for work. "Am I going to have to take my kisses from now on" he asks, still holding me. I cheekily say "maybe" and peel his hands away from my hips to grab my purse. I give him one last kiss and leave for work since Faye has now been waiting in the driveway for at least 5 minutes. "What the hell took you so long?!? I've been waiting for like 20 minutes" she says irritated that I took so long. "Don't be a drama queen, It's been like 5 minutes" I tell her, buckling my seatbelt and she just says "whatever". "So what took you so long, anyway" "Brantley wanted a kiss before I left" I tell her, hoping she doesn't drag it on but no, she couldn't just leave it alone. "Okay, a kiss or were y'all making out" she asks not able to keep the grin off her face and I tell her "we weren't making out... I just made him work for it" and she aws at me. I look at her confused because I have no idea why she's awing. "He's got it bad. You both do" she giggles at me shaking her head. "No he doesn't, and neither do I. You know all this is, is sex. I'm not getting emotionally involved with that" I say and her eyebrows furrow in confusion. "Snow he bought you pads and ice cream. I saw that Facebook picture and the way you were laying with him... you like him" she says looking over at me with a questioning look. I nibble on the inside of my lip thinking whether I should tell her or not. "Okay... I like him a little" I damn near whisper but elephant ears over here still heard me and squealed. "YAY!!!!! My best friend has a crush, it's so cute" she says leaning over and hugging me. I catch the steering wheel since she apparently doesn't feel like driving anymore and try to keep us on the road. "Faye, drive the goddamn car before I crash your side into Walmart on purpose" I yell at her and she instantly let's go and does what she supposed to be doing. "Good Lord" I sigh because that scared the shit out of me and she laughs at me. "Don't even start" I warn her noticing the grin still plastered on her lips. She can hardly hold it in and when It finally comes out it all comes out as a scream. "YOU LIKE HIM!!!!!!!!!" the excited squeal that came from my bestfriend has had my ears ringing for 15 minutes now. "Good god, Faye. My ears are still ringing" I tell her while putting plates on a tray to take to their table. "Sorry, it's exciting. You've never like-liked someone and now that you do it's that hunk of ham with tats and gauges. How could I not be happy that my goody two shoes BFF is crushing on a badboy, especially with how your ex's are" she says still crazy excited because I said a combination of 5 words about a guy.

"So have you heard" Faye asks as soon as we go on break. "Oh god, heard what?" I ask giggling as her gossipy nature. "Mac got fired" "wait, what!!! Oh shit, things are gonna be bad tonight then. What'd she do?" I ask now dreading tonight way more than usual. "Mark wouldn't let her take her break because of how busy they were and said if she took it anyway it wasn't going to be counted as paid so she got pissed. You know how she is. And she told him to go fuck himself then spit in his face and said 'I quit'. It sounded fucking awesome and I kinda wish I was there to see it" Faye explains what happened and my god. I have even more respect for that girl now. Mac was loud and proud, never afraid to stick up for herself or anyone she thought was worth the aftermath but sometimes her mouth got her in trouble as most people could probably guess. "Damn, do you know if she found another job already? I hope she's still able to support little Demi" I say kinda getting worried. She was the only girl at the club that was doing it for somebody other than herself. She had to take care of her daughter and if stripping was the only way she could at the time you can bet your ass that's what she did. "I heard her talking about a job offer she had and that she was planning on leaving soon because she didn't need that job anymore". A feeling of relief rushes over me and I let out a sigh. "We need to get back to work" I say resting my head on the cool countertops. "C'mon, the more you work, the faster time'll go by and the sooner you'll be able to go home to your little boyfriend" she giggles patting my back. "Okay, I may have feelings for him but that doesn't mean we're something that we're not" (oh yeah Cylee, that made a lot of sense). We get back to work and time is going by faster but I'll never admit that Faye is right.

Brantley's POV

"C'mon, your the guru with girls. You gotta help me out with this. I wanna make her knees weak, I wanna kiss her like she's never been kissed before. Please, B. I need your help on this one" Kolby begs me to tell him how to kiss this ol' girl he's going out with. "Let me get this straight, you came to my home at 10 o'clock at night to ask me how to kiss a woman to the point were her pussy is wet every time she thinks about it" I ask him and he winces at the unwanted detail and simply says "In a nutshell". I sigh and sit back getting ready to blow my little brothers mind with what I'm about to say. "A real kiss? Back her up against the wall. Use your knee's to spread her thighs. Grab her wrists and hold them one handed over her head then Brush her hair out of her face to get a good look at her beauty. Lift her chin until your eye's meet. Look her intently in the eye as if you want to devour her. Then, and only then, brush your lips against hers. Let your tongue find hers and never break the kiss first. That, little brother, is how your kiss a woman".
