coffee & cigarettes [j.v]

.009

I watched from afar as Nic talked with that bitch, watching her movement closely to see if she would fall into some sort of trap. Jess took Nic's hands into hers, which made me watch even closer. I watched Nic as I saw her expression change from confused to anger, and it made me smile. Atta girl. 

They spoke too quietly for me to hear, but I could see the venom that Nic spat at her once friend, and it made me ecstatic. I needed that fire in her belly to get her started. I wanted her to succeed in life, to use her looks and her brilliant mind to take over the world. I watched as Nic leaned in closer, and actually ran her hand through Jess's hair, which confused me. Suddenly, there was a loud noise to my left that made me jump. I was so focused on Nic that the clattering made me turn my head.

Someone dropped a tray of food, that's all. 

I returned my focus to the bench, where now only Nic sat, a lit cigarette to her lips. I loved breaking her out of her shell, allowing her to be herself and stop caring what other people thought. She looked her best when she was confident, and I could see that she was radiating with it in this moment. I walked over to her and sat next to her, placing my arm around her shoulder. 

She quickly whipped her head around and I could see that she had changed. The fire was ignited, and I just needed to fuel it. I grinned wickedly as our eyes caught. She was alive. 

"You've got it doll, that look in your eye. You know your power now." I spoke to her, and I could see as my words engrained themselves into her brain. I watched as her eyes glimmered with power, a grin making itself appear on her features. She met my eyes once again, and nearly squealed with excitement. 

She wrapped her arms around my neck and brought me into a hug - something I was seriously not used to, but I allowed it. She was shaking with adrenaline, it truly did make me happy to see her so giddy.   She pulled away and I took the moment to ensure she still knew her place. 

I did the same thing I did this morning, taking both of her cheeks in my hands. The second I did it, her entire body stopped moving and her lips dropped from a smile into a pout. Her eyes peered into mine like a puppy dog, which drove me insane. I can only imagine her looking up at me with those eyes in another circumstance. I pushed the thought away and took care of the matter at hand. 

I could see this morning how much she wanted me to kiss her, but I knew I could drag this out and make her come crawling to me - which is exactly what I wanted. I leaned in close to her face, once again ghosting my lips over her plump pink ones, not quite close enough to touch them.

"I know you're excited doll, but you know who's in charge right?" I whispered out, locking eyes with her. She simply nodded, her eyes not leaving mine. I cocked one of my eyebrows up, putting more pressure into my grip on her face. I could see the discomfort in her eyes, but I knew I wasn't hurting her. I gently leaned over to her ear, close enough that my breath was hitting the most sensitive parts of her skin.  

"Use your words, doll." I simply stated. 

"You're in charge, J." She whimpered out, causing my dick to twitch in my jeans. Again, something I couldn't take care of right now. I smirked, and took a nip at her earlobe, earning a yelp of pleasure in return. I released her face and sat back on the bench, smiling to myself at the power I had over this girl. She continued to pout, and slammed back onto the bench, crossing her arms across her chest like an upset toddler. I stopped myself from giggling at her, knowing it would only upset her more. 

"You're a dick, y'know that?" She spat out, clearly more cocky now that I didn't have her in my grip. I cocked my eyebrow once again and met her eyes with a smirk. 

"You're just easy to tease." I simply stated, causing her too look down and avoid my eyes. I couldn't help it! She was this strong independent woman when it came to dealing with shit, but something about me made me lose all strength. It drove me wild. 

"Come on doll, let's skip the rest of the day and celebrate. I say drinks on a certain rooftop?" I grinned widely, knowing she wouldn't be able to deny an offer like that. Her smile returned as she nodded quickly and stood to her feet. We hopped the back fence and started our walk to her home. 

The walk was silent, which I appreciated. I was mostly just trying to get rid of the half boner I had from hearing her whimper. 

Finally we arrived back to her house, immediately grabbing two glasses and some rum. She walked up the stairs and me close behind. We reached her room and climbed onto the roof, each taking a few shots before laying down on the shingles. We remained quiet for a while and enjoyed the cool breeze of October. 

"Thanks for helping me the last few weeks Jerome, it really means a lot." She spoke so gently, like an angel. I hated the thought of actually feeling something for a girl, but she had me under her spell. I knew I had to keep strong and let her come to me. I turned my head to face her and gave her a warm smile. 

"I just brought out your strength doll, you had it all along." I spoke just as gently as her, which made her smile brightly. I turned my head back and closed my eyes, soaking up the minimal sunlight that was available. 

I heard her move around slightly and before I knew it, I felt her lips on mine. It was a simple short kiss, something that clearly took a lot of confidence for her to do. I smirked and opened my eyes, turning over to face her once again. Her eyes were squeezed shut and her face bright red. I smiled to myself. 

"You call that a kiss?" I asked in a snarky tone, earning a middle finger which made me burst out in laughter. I caught her smile lightly, clearly still embarrassed for some reason. She covered her eyes with her arm, with a pout on her lip. I took my chance to quietly place myself above her without actually touching her. 

I gently moved her arm away from her eyes, and saw that they were glossy. 

"Why are you upset doll? I was only kidding." I asked her in a gentle voice, moving some of her hair away from her face. She only pouted further. 

"I'm an idiot. You clearly only see me as a friend and I just .... ugh!" She pouted more and I could see that full tears were about to bubble over, and I did what I knew would fix it. 

Gently I leaned in and held close to her lips, because I now know how wild that makes her. I placed my hand gently on her face and allowed some shallow breaths to hit her lips, looking up directly into her eyes. She locked her eyes with mine and I could see a world of pain in them, a desperate need to be appreciated. Finally, she let out that whimper that I loved so much and I dove.

I gently kissed her lips, moving in perfect sync with her as she warmed into the kiss. I slowly let my tongue brush against her bottom lip, which she opened her mouth and allowed me to explore. I moved my hand from the side of her face to the base of her neck, bringing her tightly into me, gripping her hair lightly. I gently tousled her tongue with mine, soon developing an intoxication from her taste. I leaned back gently and nipped at her bottom lip before diving back into her mouth, which earned a throaty groan from her which nearly tipped me off the edge of not stopping this at a kiss. 

Gently I leaned back, and looked down at her. Her lips were wet and swollen, her cheeks flushed and eyes wide. My god she looked absolutely beautiful like this. I smiled gently down at her. She returned with a smirk.

"You call that a kiss?" She wrinkled her nose as she said the joke, knowing it was in bad taste. I simply scoffed and placed a gentle kiss on her nose. 

It would all be happening soon.
