You next door {Craig Mcmorris AU}

Chapter eight

The taxi pulled away and as the sounds of its engine faded Craig turned to me.

"So... Why didn't we go to the party? I thought thats what we were doing?" I questioned.

He smiled cutely, his eyes were slightly bloodshot.

"Well we were but then I thought maybe we would just stay here. Marks friends always play to many drinking games anyways" he smirked.

"So what do ya wanna do" he asked, taking a sip from his mixed drink.

Hmm, I really just wanted to get to know him better but didn't want to sound lame so I told him to choose.

" how bout we talk" he said and a huge grin crossed my face, thats what I wanted most!

We walked to the living room, Craig had to help me from falling as the third shot had kicked in and my legs were starting to numb and we sat down on the floor wrapping ourselves in blankets and stealing cushions off the couch to sit our drunk butts on.

I started the conversation this time feeling braver from the alcohol.

"So Craig..." I started. "Tell me your story. I want the details. Tell me what ya got"

He smiled shyly and took another sip of his drink before replying.

"Well, me and Marky were born here in Regina. I'm the oldest. We had a great childhood. Like most Canadian kids we played Hockey but then somehow we wound up falling in love with snowboarding"

I interrupted him

"Saskatchewan is so fucking flat how the hell did you guys get into snow boarding?" I asked.

He giggled. It was a laugh I hadn't heard before. It was more high pitched and child like. I guessed it was his drunk laugh.

"Ya I know, but thats what made us thirst for it even more ya know"

I understood.

He continued.

"Mark and me are very different in the sport. We are both so hard working and dedicated, but he just really goes for it. He's set to go for the next winter Olympics"

"Thats so crazy!" I said. "How do you feel about that? Are you jealous?" I questioned him more.

"No not really, i'm actually going to be covering some of the events with CBC which is cool I guess."

Wow. They both seemed so dedicated. But I bet it did bug him a little.

"So what about you hmm? Whats your story?" He asked me smiling.

"It's just me and the Gams. I took a gap year to help her after her hip surgery but i'm not sure I want to go back to school after this. That it's really. I'm quite boring" I said.
"On the contrary" Craig said smiling.

"I think your quite interesting"

We sat their talking and laughing for a while more and then got up to get a snack from the kitchen.

We walked shakily. The booze still effecting us as we searched for something to eat.

We settled on a box of gold fish crackers and started picking at them.

Then Craig started to fling them into my mouth trying to see if he could get them in.

We were laughing non-stop and as we were doing so, ended up being quite close.

He started to play with my hair as I leaned into his chest. It was muscular and warm.

We had stopped talking and were just standing in the kitchen holding each other closely.

I wanted Craig. Bad.

Slowly I moved my hand up his chest on onto his neck. He looked down into my eyes, and started to move his hands from my butt to the centre of my back pulling me in even closer.

As our lips connected I felt as though fireworks were going off all around us and as if time had literally stopped.

My fingers twirled into his curly hair and he hoisted me up on the kitchen island so he didn't have to bend down so far to kiss me.

Our kisses were getting sloppier and sloppier as I wrapped my legs around his waisted and pulled him even closer. Their was virtually no space between us.

I noticed that he was wearing a different outfit then when we were in the field. He had changed his black t-shirt to a blueish button down. I quickly untangled my fingers from his soft hair and started to un button his top.

Craig groaned as I finished with the buttons and peeled the shirt off his muscular arms.

Once his arms were free I started to remove my cardigan flinging it across the kitchen when we got it off.

Our kisses more getting stronger as our tongues battled inside our mouths and it became rougher.

If my heart wasn't racing before. It surely was now. I was most certain Craig could hear it.

Then after what seemed like eternity Craig uttered a few words in between kisses.

"Do... You wanna... Take this...up...up....upatairs"

He managed to finally sit out.

I nodded excitedly as he pulled me from the island and lead me to his room.
