Black Rose (completed)

chapter thirty

Steven's POV

After we got back from the restaurant we stayed in my sitting room chatting, I watched Sarah as she sat on the sofa opposite me, her gown had gone a little up her legs. She looked very attractive in her beautiful dress and her eyes shone brightly from her small elegant face.

" you look gorgeous " I said stressing the word.

She blushed and looked away. " thanks " she muttered. She had no idea how cute and attractive she was, she had no idea the effect she had on me.

" so what now? She asked.

" we drink and have fun while we wait for Michael and Jason " I answered.

She looked away again and this time she shifted uncomfortably in her seat. It took me a moment before I realized why, I smiled when I did. Clumsy me I should not have intimidated her with my stare, it was so intense. It was a trick, a nice trick.

" forgive me if am staring, you're just so attractive " I said and stood up to get her a drink.
I brought her a wine in a glass and handed it to her, she accepted it and looked at me before taking it, I just smiled. She really didn't think I'll put something in her drink did she?

I sat down but this time I sat beside her on the couch.

" so how did your interview at the sport council go? I asked.
She had an interview yesterday, because of the game last Thursday.

" it went well, just that the interviewer asked me more questions than was necessary"

" maybe he wanted more time with you "

" what do you mean?

" you have no idea how cute and tempting you are right?  I asked her.
She had no idea the influence she had on men.

" tempting? She started then stopped

I laughed and put my hands to my face then I looked straight into her eyes " should I explain?

" no need " she said quickly, she must have seen the unhidden desire in my eyes.

After a moment she asked. " how many women do you find attractive at school?

I groaned. " I dunno few, but there's this one I can't seem to take my mind off " I said sincerely.

She bit her lips a habit she was fond of when she was nervous and I had to resist the strong impulse I had of touching her lips, she is just the sexist thing.
I know I shouldn't want Sarah to have feelings for me but I was selfish, way too selfish.

" tell me Sarah " I said to her. " what did you mean when you said you know my type? I asked recalling our discussion at the restaurant

" nothing "

" don't even start, tell me "

" its just I've heard a lot of things about you " she said looking down.

" like? I pressured

" like you're more of a flirty, no commitments, no strings attached kind of guy "

" is that how you've been seeing me?
Do you think am just flirting with you?
I asked surprised.

" rumors have an element of truth "

" but people change "

" not entirely "

" of course they do, unless the catalyst for the change is not strong enough "

" so what's your catalyst? He asked quietly

" more like who? I said and looked deep into her eyes, this time she didn't avoid my eyes and our eyes locked for a moment, my body acted on its own and slowly my hands went up her arm and down to her hands in a single caress. Then my other hand went to her face and I traced her jawline with my fingers, I moved closer to her still looking into her eyes and I bent my head slowly to her throat and kissed her just below her jawline. I felt her go tense and the electric charge between us seem to multiply a thousand folds. The sensation flashed up across my chest causing me to inhale sharply, she made no effort to move so I pressured on. My hand went behind her and I dragged my fingers gently down her spine feeling her vertebra through the soft fabric of her dress, her breath accelerated and my body responded too from the electric jolts going up my arm. I looked into her beautiful eyes and then lean down and pressed my lips to hers, a jolt of electricity shot through me and it seems there was an explosion in my body. Her response was immediate and surprising she reached for me with her hands and pressed her body gently into mine, my body responded to the pressure of her breast against my chest and her hands which were now in my hair, she was driving me crazy.
I pushed her slowly and she laid on the sofa with me right on top of her, we took a moment to breath and I didn't take my eyes off hers, I bent down to kiss her again and she kissed me back, then my lips went back to her neck. the sensation was profound and I wasn't sure what I would have done next if Jason didn't barge in unexpectedly.

" Steven you should.................... Ummmmm " he paused when he saw the sight before him. " ammmmm so.....rry "

Really Jason! Of all times you could barge into my room you choose to barge in now!
" its fine " I said adjusting my shirt, Sarah pushed me and got up quickly she moved away from me and straighten her dress with her hands and I could see she was embarrassed.

" where's Michael? I asked.

" he's waiting for Sarah in his car " he answered without looking at me.

" I should be going then " she said, she turn to look at me briefly then picked up her bag and she hurried out.

I stood up immediately and went after her, stopping to look at Jason for a second. " really Jason! " I mouthed

He gave me his sympathetic look and I just shook my head and ran after her.
" wait " I said upon reaching her " let me walk you to the car."

We walked to the car without saying a word to each other and she won't even look up, Michael waved to me when we got to the car and I waved back too. She got in and they took off.
I waited for her to turn and look at me but she didn't. She didn't look back.
