Constantine's neighbor

Chapter 8

Constantine's pov

As she pulled me back down to her we kissed with some difficulty seeing that we are unable to stop smiling. Moving my lips down her jaw I made my way to her neck once again pressing open mouthed kisses as I went . I Lightly nip at the place where her neck and shoulder meet before I drew away and looked at Carter. With her flushed cheeks and slightly erratic breathing I was stunned by the fact that she could be so beautiful without even trying.

Opening her eyes she looked at me with a slightly dazed look  before saying, "we ah..we need to go back"

When she pulled away from me I withheld myself from the urge to draw her back in my arms and continue what we had been doing. Sighing I nodded and reached to grab her hand. I frowned as she dodged it and opened the door, leaving me standing alone.

Jogging I caught up to her. Pulling her to a stop I say, "you know I mean what I said?"

With a unamused laugh that was a complete change from her previous demeanor she asked, "which part? The one where we can't be friends, that I couldn't even mention to people we had hung out? Or do you mean when you said that we were going to fall in love because we were neighbors?   Listen I get that you might be okay with us being friends with benefits, except considering we can't even be friends it would just be benefits to a random person, but I'm not doing that shit again. You can go find some other s-"

"No! I was wrong that day when I said we couldn't be friends, it's  that I'm not a good person and I don't want to hurt you, don't you understand? I've never even actually liked a girl enough to want to be with them, and the fact that I feel this much in such a short amount of time isn't normal I mean- fuck! "

As I ran my hands through my hair in frustration I felt two small hands grab mine and pull them down.

As she peered up at me with her piercing blue eyes she looked as if she was trying to see that what I had said is true. When she finally finished her assessment she let go of my hands and backed up.

"Then what do you want?"

"I don't know. I don't know how to be in a relationship and I don't even fully understand the way I feel I just know that I want you with me every possible second. Does that make sense? Do you understand how confusing it is to want to be with someone you have known for less than a week when you haven't felt that way your whole life?"

"I don't think we can be together. At least not right now. I need time to adjust."

With a slight nod In agreement I smile before throwing my arm over her shoulder.  I don't even know what I want so I wasn't disappointed with her response. I knew that taking this slow was the best thing to do. Leading her to the theatre we made our way back to our friends ignoring the smug looks they were giving us.

Sitting in our seats I am replying our conversation in my head when I realize she had said that she didn't want  to got through a friends with benefits thing again.
Turning to her, I plan to ask her about it until I saw her enthralled by the movie. As I watch her face she watches the movie and I felt myself blush as I realize I have been staring at her far longer then what was socially acceptable.

After the movie we make our way outside. As I look around I suddenly realize that Carter wasn't here. As I turned to look for her I suddenly hear her infectious laughter. With her arm slung around his waist and his arm over her shoulder, I felt a rush of jealousy towards Reece. It is obvious he likes her from the puppy eyes he s shooting her every five seconds. The more I watch the angrier I got. As I stare I am pulled away by Dallon. Grabbing my arm he keeps me walking in silence before saying,

"I get it Man ,I really do, but just staring at the guy like you want to kill him and then staring at her like she's your world isn't going to get you any where."

"I know," I run my hands through my hair before gripping the back of my neck, "it's just that I like her. I mean she's funny as hell and could literally not help but be sarcastic, not to mention that she is just-"

"I believe Blake's words - 'hot as hell, amazing ass, and great rack.' Are descriptive enough."

With a glare in Blake's direction I mutter "exactly"

As I watch Carter and Reece I finally have enough.

"Sunshine! Wanna give those feet a rest".

Smiling she makes her way towards me and to my enjoyment ignores Reece when he offers to let her ride on his back.

I am so busy smiling that I hadn't even realized she was next to me until she snapped her fingers in front of me.

"um hello anyone home" she asks while nocking her hand against my head.

"Very funny sunshine" leaning down so she can jump up I slide my hands down to her thighs to help hold her. she allows her feet to swing and to my amusement kick Blake every time.

When a glaring Blake turned to me I heard Carter stifle a laugh before hiding her head behind me. As I held my hands up in fake surrender I said, "don't look at me man"

Rolling his eyes he turns back around and quickens his pace until he is no longer in Carters range.

When we mak e it to our cars, I let Carter slide down my back and after giving her a small smile I say "see you tomorrow neighbor"
