Chosen One

Blueberry Pancakes

Hayley's POV

I heard the chime of my Louie go off. I didn't want to open my eyes yet because I was so comfortable, but I was also curious to see who had just messaged me. I felt some strong arms wrapped around me and that's when I realized that Daniel slept over. I opened my eyes to see him sleeping so peacefully. My eyes traced every inch of his face and I found myself becoming more and more attracted to him. Trying not to wake him, I gently removed his arms from my body then slid from under his embrace. I softly rose up to stretch while still looking over my shoulder at him. I was glad that I didn't wake him because I knew he was exhausted too. It had been almost a year since I slept this good. I don't know if it was because my mom was home or if it was because I was in Daniel's arms. Either way, I felt the safest I've felt in a very long time.I leaned over and reached for my Louie that was lying on my nightstand. I opened my messages and saw that it was Jackie who texted me. She said she wanted to update me on what's been going on since I left. I told her that I would call her later. That is once Daniel was gone. Of course I didn't mention that he and I kissed or that I asked him to come over. I felt like that was a conversation that she and I would have to talk about over the phone versus over text. She's not going to believe it when I tell her what all has transpired since she and I saw each other yesterday. I silently sighed to myself thinking about her reaction to all of this. I was barely wrapping my head around everything.I quietly crept out of my bed and went into my closet. I grabbed some undergarments, a t-shirt, some shorts and some sneakers then snuck out my room to head to the bathroom. As I held my clothes close to my body, I couldn't help, but to think about Daniel being in my bed. Somehow in just a week's time, we went from enemies to lovers. I can't even begin to comprehend how that happened, but I know I couldn't be happier.I thought about what Alex said last night about telling Leo the truth. As much as I cared about him, I couldn't really see us being together again. He's a great friend and a cool captain, but I couldn't get over the fact that he lied and humiliated me in front of everyone. I know that he meant it when he told me that he loved me yesterday, but strangely those are the words that I want to hear from someone else.Finding my mom's hidden safe may have been the best thing that ever happened. If it weren't for that, Daniel and I would've never teamed up and we wouldn't have gotten to know each other on a different level. I tried to convince myself that when I kissed him in front of Leo, that I didn't feel anything, but when I saw how protective he got of me and the look he gave me at the basketball game, I couldn't deny it anymore.I know Leo saw me clapping and us eyeing each other after Daniel scored. Watching how excited he was and how much joy the game brings him, made me smile. After all he is one of the best players on the team along with my brother and Parker. I could see the jealousy in Leo's face, but what did he expect after how he treated me and Aspen. He cheated on her with me and was lying to both of us. I still can't erase the memory of them kissing in front of me and the entire school at the dance. As much as I missed Leo, I knew that I couldn't be with him. Now I think we would be better as friends anyway. Daniel may not care too much for that, but fortunately my heart is his now.As I showered and washed my hair, I couldn't get my mind off of Daniel. His muscular physique, his tightly coiled hair, his dark brown eyes, his voluptuous pink lips, his curly eye lashes and his adorable dimples brought a smile to my face. I didn't realize how much I found him attractive until I was under the shower head with water blasting on me. Funny thing is, the hot water wasn't what was making my body warm.The thoughts of him all over me kept playing in my mind on replay. I know Daniel can be erratic, short tempered and domineering sometimes, but he can also be cognizant, gentle, protective and loyal. I have noticed a change in him though. He's been a lot more kind, thoughtful and rational. I don't know if that is because he's been around me lately or what, but I like this side of him.I didn't realize that he had been showing how he felt about me from the beginning. I should've paid better attention. I guess it doesn't matter now because he made it very clear through his confession and the kiss he planted on me before I left The Greenhouse.It was that kiss that I couldn't shake off which caused me to ask him to come over. I had intended on talking about it, but that clearly didn't happen. Then I had a flashback of mom and I trapped in the cave with the bomb. An eerie rush came over my body as I closed my eyes and saw the bomb ticking. Then as I was about to have a panic attack, the flash of Daniel and Leo coming into the cave took over my mind.I felt my body start to relax again and I was able to enjoy my shower. Once I was dressed I decided to head downstairs so that I could help mom with breakfast. I knew she was going to make blueberry pancakes as promised. When I got to the kitchen, she was already whipping up the batter."Hey Mom!" I said cheery. She turned around and gave me a hug accidentally getting flour on me. "Hey Hayley Bear! How'd you sleep?" I sighed, took a breath than stated, "Probably the best I have in months." I stood by her as she began stirring the mixture. I washed my hands at the sink and then began dropping blueberries into the batter as she continued to stir."Perhaps, is it because you were sleeping next to that hottie?" she replied as she nudged me. "MOM!" I shrieked in embarrassment. "What? He is cute sweetheart," she confirmed. "I meant that when I introduced myself to him and Leo." I couldn't help, but to shake my head. My mom was definitely back to being herself. "I know you did Mom, but did you have to say it right then? I was already blushing because of what Daniel had said and done.""Well, sweetie, I like him. He seems like a really good kid. I can tell you really like him too." I couldn't object so I shyly nodded at her remark. "Hayley bear, you are flushed! This boy has you blushing all over yourself!" I took some leftover flour and blew it at her. Hearing the sound of her laughter gave me a sense of peace in that moment. That's when it started to set in that she was really back.I couldn't help, but to start giggling too. I finally grabbed an apron from inside the pantry then wiped my floury hands on it. "So sweetheart, be honest with me. How do you feel about him?" I took a deep breath so I could gather my thoughts then I began to smile. "I think he's great. He's the captain of the Eagles basketball team, he's actually really smart, he's funny, outspoken, honest, protective and with me sensitive." She looked over at me and smiled. "Sounds like he's a great guy, so why aren't you all dating?" "Well, he just recently got out of a relationship and I was trying to get over my feelings for Leo. Plus, we were so focused on trying to find out what was going on with his mom, you and Brooke so we didn't have time to really think let alone talk about it. He just confessed his feelings for me yesterday. "Ooooh. So that's what took you so long yesterday," she retorted in a sarcastic tone."Mom, stop it!" I countered as my face began to turn beet red. "It's ok sweetie. I was sixteen once too you know?!" I had a huge grin on because I never thought I would have conversations like this with mom ever again. Once I realized that, the embarrassment and shame I was feeling quickly went away.She began preparing a sheet pan full of bacon to put in the oven, while I washed and prepared a tray of fruit. Once I was done, I washed the potatoes, cut them up along with some green pepper and onion. Mom had already warmed up the skillet so that I could start cooking them. She stood next to me in front of the stove so that she could start making the pancakes.The smell of them gave my heart a warm sensation. I had missed mom's pancakes, but I missed her being the one to make them. We made small talk as we prepared the food. Once everything was almost done, I grabbed the orange juice carafe out of the fridge and some glasses out of the cabinet. I set them on the table and then went back for plates, napkins and silverware.By this time, I could hear Alex coming down the stairs. He walked up behind mom, hugged and kissed her on the cheek. "Hey Mom." She kissed him back on the cheek then retorted, "Hey sweetie. How'd you sleep?" He raised his eyebrows and said, "The best I have in a long time." Mom and I started giggling. "That's what I said too," I affirmed. Alex chuckled to himself, walked over, laid his head on my shoulder then said, "Hey sis."I embraced my little brother as he wrapped his arms around me from behind. "Do you have any extra clothes Daniel can wear? I left an extra toothbrush and some towels in the bathroom for him when he wakes up." He walked over to the side of the stove where I was cooking and stood next to me with a shocked face. "He stayed over?" he asked. "Yes, he did sweetheart. Your father and I weren't about to let him drive back to The Greenhouse late. Besides he saved our lives, so the least we can do is allow him to sleep over and make him some breakfast," mom replied. Alex nodded in agreement. "So?", I questioned, waiting for my little brother to reply. He rolled his eyes as he said, "Let me go upstairs and get him some clothes." Mom turned around as Alex headed up the stairs, "Thank you," she said with a smile. "Yeah, yeah," he yelled back."Sweetheart, can you check the bacon please? It should be finished." I pulled out some potholders from in the cabinet drawer then, opened the oven. Mom was right once again. The bacon was perfectly cooked and ready to come out of the oven. She stepped to the side so that I could take the sheet pan out of the oven to place it on the back of the stove. I put the potholders back then grabbed a pair of tongs and a plate to place the bacon on.Once I was finished I poured orange juice into the glasses and placed them on the table. As I was pouring the last glass, Alex came running down the stairs. He picked up one of the glasses full of juice and started to drink it. "Hey!" I squealed. That didn't affect him by any means. He just kept drinking and smiling at me. Once he was finished, he reached out so that I could refill his glass. I huffed playfully, then obliged. "Daniel, should be down soon. He's getting showered and dressed." I don't know why my heart rate started to speed up when he said that. Why was I nervous to see him especially after I just spent the night lying next to him?! I shook the nerves out of my body then started to set the table.I helped mom place a few of the serving dishes of food in the middle of the table. I refilled the carafe of orange juice then placed it on the counter so that Alex wouldn't get tempted to drink some more. I took off my apron which was covered in flour and walked it to the laundry room. I went to the bathroom to check my hair and make sure that I didn't have any flour on my face.I realized that when I blew some at mom, I also blew some on to my face. I quickly grabbed a hand towel, wet it, then wiped the white dust off my face. I ran my fingers through my hair, adjusted my shirt and realigned my shorts. Once I was satisfied with my appearance, I went back into the kitchen and continued setting the table.As I was finishing up, I heard mom say, "Good morning Daniel! How'd you sleep?" I turned around to see Daniel dressed in a cut off Eagles t-shirt, shorts and socks. Seeing the protrusion of the muscles in his arms and chest caused my breath to hitch. I found myself swallowing hard and biting my lip so hard that I almost broke the skin. Thankfully I was on the other side of the kitchen so that he didn't see me staring at him.He had a sweet smile on his face as he replied to my mom, "Good morning Ryan. I slept really good actually." She smiled then said, "That's good. Well I hope you're hungry, Hayley and I made a lot of food." He then turned and we made instant eye contact. He bit his bottom lip as he gave me his signature seductive look. I could feel the heat rapidly rising off my body and the familiar warmness coming into my cheeks. I had to look away otherwise he was going to have my knees feeling like silly putty.Alex took a whiff of the food, closed his eyes and then said, "Mom, I missed your blueberry pancakes." Mom retorted, "Then be ready sweetie because I made them especially for you and Hayley." Literally the moment mom said that, Dad walked into the kitchen with a fake pouty look on his face. He walked over to her and said, "Honey, I thought you were making them for me." Alex and I almost choked on laughter as they began to sit at the table. Daniel watched us sit down so he sat down at the closest chair to him which happened to be across from me and right next to Alex. Mom poured Alex another glass of orange juice from the carafe when she finally said to Dad, "Babe of course I did," and then winked at the three of us. We all busted out laughing as we watched Dad sit down at the head of the table. Mom got up and grabbed maple syrup and butter then placed them on the table. Soon as mom sat down Dad raised his orange juice glass and said that he wanted to make a toast.We all lifted our glasses and he said, "To Ryan coming home and us being a family again!" Just as everyone was about to click their glasses, Alex stopped us and said, "And to Daniel for helping Hayley and I discover what was going on and bringing mom home!" We all replied in unison, "Here, Here!" Then we all clicked glasses with each other. "Dig in everyone!" Mom said enthusiastically. "Mom, you don't have to tell me twice," Alex retorted. He grabbed 4 blueberry waffles off the serving plate and a few pieces of bacon. It wasn't even thirty seconds before he had a mouthful of mom's pancakes in his mouth. I looked over at Daniel to see if he grabbed any yet. I saw a slight sadness in his face so I mouthed to him, "Are you ok?" He mouthed back that he was fine and then smiled at me. To lighten the mood, I picked up the dish with the blueberry pancakes on it and handed it to him. He smiled and gently took it from me. We locked eyes for a second and I could hear my heart beating in my chest. I quickly snapped out of it because I didn't want everyone teasing me after he leaves. Mom was already on a roll this morning and so I didn't need to give her anymore ammunition.I scooped up some fruit, grabbed a couple pieces of bacon, two big spoonfuls of hash browns and two blueberry pancakes and placed it all on my plate. It smelled so good so I couldn't wait to dig in. Just as I had just finished cutting up my pancakes and pouring syrup, I heard, "Mmmmm!" I looked up to see Daniel with a mouthful of food with his eyes closed and the most satisfied look on his face. Mom, Dad, Alex and I looked at each other, looked at Daniel, then busted out laughing.He held his hands up like he was apologizing then he said, "I'm sorry everyone I just haven't had a home cooked meal like this in so long." I saw mom smile at him then say, "Well there is plenty so eat as much as you want!"Dad cleared his throat then said, "I talked to my chief this morning so we know what happened with your mom. Just know you are always welcome here for some of Ryan's cooking or if you just want to talk." I felt so proud in that moment because I knew as much as he tried to hide it, I knew he was hurting. I saw Alex place his hand on Daniel's shoulder and smile at him. I couldn't help, but to smile at Daniel because he I think he realized in that moment that he had our support. I winked at him before shoving a fork full of mom's blueberry pancakes in my mouth. I saw Daniel laughing at me across the table and just when I was about to ask what was so funny, mom asked, "So Daniel, can you cook?" Daniel looked at me then said, "Not like this, but I can cook." I was extremely shocked, but I was definitely curious. I had to try his cooking for myself so I made the statement, "I guess I'll have to test that theory out for myself then." He had that that cocky smirk he always wears, before he shoved a fork full of blueberry pancakes in his mouth. Everyone ate in silence assuming because the food was so good, but eventually we started talking and laughing again. I noticed everyone was slowing down and breathing heavily. Mom asked, "Would anybody like anymore food before I start to put the fruit and leftover pancakes in the fridge?" Everyone was silent from being completely stuffed. I saw Daniel raise his hands and shake his head no. He was sitting all the way back in his chair trying to breath.Mom laughed at his reaction as she started to pick up the dishes that contained food. I followed right behind her by picking up the plates that were empty and placed them in the dishwasher. Alex grabbed the empty carafe and the glasses off the table. He brought them over to me so I could place the glasses in the dishwasher and wash the carafe by hand. Next thing I hear is, "So tell me Daniel, how did you meet Alex and Hayley?" Alex and I looked at each other with complete wide eyes. Alex mouthed to me, "Uh oh!" I didn't realize that Daniel was right behind me until he almost dropped the plates in his hands. I grabbed them when I saw him struggling. He looked like he wanted to die right then. He began to clear his throat, I'm assuming to try to figure out how to tell our parents how mean he was to me and Alex when we first met him. Mom sat down at the table next to Dad, then said, "I want to hear this!" Alex started chuckling to himself and since I didn't think it was something to laugh about, I popped him with the wet dish towel. He jumped at the pain soon as it touched his skin.Daniel attempted to reply to Dad, but I could see him still struggling so I decided to answer for him. Plus, I knew I could butter up my parents. "Well, Dad when I went to drop off Alex so he could try to get in, Alex recognized him and tried introducing himself. Needless to say, Daniel wasn't too enthusiastic about the introduction." This time Alex then busted out laughing. "Sweetheart, what's so funny?" Mom asked. Alex turned to me and asked, "Hayley, do you want to tell them or should I?" I really didn't want to tell them because I didn't want them to see Daniel in a negative light especially now that we liked each other. I couldn't find the right words to say, but thankfully Daniel jumped in. "No, it's ok I'll tell them. Ryan, the reason Alex is laughing so hard is because I wasn't too nice to him or Hayley when we first met. I kind of picked on Alex when he was trying out and after he made the Eagles and Hayley wasn't too keen about it."After he made that comment, I had to defend him a little. "Mom, Dad he's putting it nicely. Daniel and I couldn't stand each other when we first met." Mom and Dad looked at each other then started laughing so hard, Mom's face was turning red. It took them a while to gather themselves, but once she did Mom finally asked, "Let me get this straight, you two couldn't stand each other?" Daniel and I looked at each other and without saying a word, we started shaking our heads.Wanting to take a dig at him I replied, "His presence repulsed me no offense!" I looked at Daniel with a devious grin and started laughing. Acting like he was hurt he retorted in a sarcastic tone, "Heyyyyyy! To be fair, I wasn't your biggest fan either if we're being honest."Mom and Dad seemed to think that was extremely funny which is why they were slumped over each other laughing with tears in their eyes. Alex shook his head then said, "See Mom, this is why I was laughing so hard. They practically hated each other. For a while there I didn't like Daniel either, but things changed." Dad jumped in immediately and inquired, "So then what changed?" I took a deep breath and came out with it. "Well, Dad you know when I came home after the earthquake?" He nodded then replied, "You mean the one that you almost drowned in the ocean in?""Wait WHAT?!" Mom shrieked. "It's ok mom, Leo and Aspen saved me." Alex coughed then answered under his breath, "Yeah after she almost let you drown!" My head snapped over to look at Alex because that was a detail about the earthquake that I really didn't want to tell Mom. Apparently I wasn't the only one that heard him because as soon as I turned my head to look at him, so did everyone else. To avoid anymore of Mom's worried looks, I quickly changed the subject and stated, "Yes, Dad that earthquake. Well, Mom remember when I told you I found the key in your safe?" Mom nodded with her hand on her mouth, waiting for me to continue."Well, I also found a number next to the key in the safe so I called it. Low and behold, guess who answers?!" I turned my attention to Daniel and everyone else followed me. He didn't waste any time speaking. "I heard this device ringing in my mom's bag and I was already a little suspicious of her because of how Brooke was acting.""What does Brooke have to do with this?" Mom asked urgently. I looked over and saw Daniel take a deep breath. "I'll just give you the summarized version. Brooke used to be my girlfriend, that is until I got hurt by the Taser that belonged to the missing Park Ranger. I was kind of mean and in a bad place so I kind of took it out on her. After that she started to like Alex, but she was also suspicious of my mom. My mom got wind of that and had Marcus hypnotize her. She started acting really weird so when Hayley called my mom's device, we knew something was going on and the rest is history.""Wow! So you two teamed up to work together?" Mom inquired. "Yeah. Well it started just Hayley and I trying to wake Brooke up from Hypnosis, but then the more we uncovered the more people became involved," Daniel replied. Mom looked at me then asked the following questions. "So, that's how Max, Jackie, Leo, Alex & Sophie got involved." "Exactly!" Alex confirmed. "I truly missed a lot huh?" Mom retorted. Everyone shook their heads in unison and laughed. "Well I guess you two were definitely meant to be at The Greenhouse then," Mom said in a sarcastic tone. All I could do was shake my head. Alex shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "So Daniel, I hear you're pretty good at basketball. Feel like playing a little bit?" Mom asked. Daniel looked at Alex and Alex said, "Of course he's down! Let's Go!" Alex took off towards the stairs to grab the basketball. Daniel came around the table, took my hand and said, "So you know you are playing with us right Hayley?!" I'm sure after what we discussed last night, he wasn't going to let me sit this out. I had no choice, plus I wanted to spend some time with him before he leaves.He lightly dragged me outside where Alex was waiting for all of us. Mom and Dad were right behind us. I noticed that Daniel looked down at his feet and realized that he didn't have any shoes on so he took off to his car and grabbed some sneakers from out of the trunk. "See he's prepared for anything!" Alex yelled sarcastically. We played basketball for most of the day. Funny thing is I was actually having a good time. Maybe it was because Daniel was playing with us. Daniel dunked the ball a few times and it made me swoon a little. His strong arms on the rim gave me a chill. It almost reminded me of the day before at his game. One time he looked at me after he did it. He smiled at me, bit his lip then continued to play. Then I heard someone's Louie go off. I grabbed mine out of my pocket to see if that was Jackie replying back because I did tell her we would talk later today and it was later. Which reminded me that Daniel was going to have to leave soon. A bit of sadness came over me when I was realized how late it was and that he needed to head back soon if he was going to make it there before dark. It wasn't Jackie though so it had to be either Daniel or Alex's Louie.I saw Daniel open his Louie and start reading. Clearly, it was his Louie that went off. The sadness I was feeling was starting to show even though I tried to hide it. I got myself together a little bit and then asked, "Is everything ok Daniel?" He didn't even hesitate. "It's Parker inquiring where I am because he hasn't seen me since I left yesterday to come here." Mom and Dad both looked at their watches and their eyes got wide. "Wow, I didn't realize it was this late," Dad exclaimed. Daniel looked at Dad and then replied, I better get going so that I make it to The Greenhouse before it gets dark." I walked to the house, opened the door so that Daniel could go upstairs to get his clothes and stuff. Dreading the next six days without seeing his face, I slowly walked behind him up the stairs to my room. Now I couldn't deny the disappoint on my face. I didn't speak for what seems like five minutes then I finally opened my mouth as Daniel was grabbing his blazer off the back of my chair."Why do you have to go so soon?!" He didn't respond, he just grabbed my hand and interweaved our fingers. A slight sense of relief came over me as we walked down the steps to his car. I was still wearing my disconcerted face.I noticed Daniel slowing down too. I guess it had finally set in that he was about to leave and wasn't going to see me for six whole days. I could feel his mood change the closer we got to his car. He placed his clothes and shoes into the car on the passenger seat. I kind of felt jealous because I wanted to be sitting in the passenger seat, but I knew I needed to spend time with my family.Mom, Dad and Alex came walking up behind us. Mom was carrying a plate covered with foil. I automatically knew what that was. She handed Daniel the plate and said, "Here, now you can have a taste of my blueberry pancakes at school until you come back."A big smile came across Daniel's face as he accepted the plate. He then placed it on the floor in front of the passenger seat. He turned around and gave Mom a huge hug. I could see a slight flicker of sadness come in his eyes. I knew it was because he missed his mom. I knew he wouldn't say it, but I could tell. Dad gave him this burly man hug. He followed up with, "We mean it Daniel if there is anything we can do for you please let us know." Daniel replied, "Yes Sir!" Mom being the protective mom she is said, "Also be careful driving back to school and let Hayley know once you make it." He gave her a sweet grin then told her, "Will do! Thank you for everything." Dad patted Daniel on the back then he and mom made their way back to the house. Daniel looked at Alex and then said, "Hey, I know you are here for a week, but you still can't be slacking Woods. We have a game in two weeks!" In a sarcastic manner, Alex saluted Daniel and retorted, "Yes Captain!" That's Alex for ya I thought. "No, but for real see you soon." Alex gave Daniel some dap then picked up the ball he put down by his feet and started dribbling up the driveway towards the house.I finally had Daniel to myself, but I couldn't shake the anguish I was feeling about him leaving. I knew it would only be six days, but that seemed like forever especially since he and I spent this last week together almost all the time. I was going to miss him much more than I was willing to admit. I sighed kind of loud then tried to get my last hugs. I put my arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I needed him super close to me so I pulled him even closer to me. I felt him rest his face on my neck. The rhythm of his breath hit my neck and sent me in a trance. Trying not to seem too eager I quietly whispered in his ear, "I'm going to miss you so much." He lifted his head, looked at me and then rested his forehead on my mine. "I'm going to miss you too. Six days without you is going to feel like an eternity." The distraught feeling must've resonated on my face because he looked me right in the eyes, cupped my chin and laid the sweetest kiss on my lips.My heart jumped and I couldn't take it any longer. I had to show him how much I was going to miss him and what he would have to look forward to in six days. I gently grabbed his face and kissed him so fiercely. The way our heads glided from side to side was like a symphony. It was like our bodies were in total sync with each other.The way our tongues intertwined was like a dream. I felt like I was floating. I couldn't keep my hands off of him and the way he was caressing me gave me the chills. I stroked the bulky muscles on his arms all the way up to his shoulders and down his muscular chest. I ran my hand down his defining chest and rock hard abs. I could feel them through the cut off t-shirt he was wearing.I could tell he was enjoying what I was doing because he started kissing me more intensely. Judging by what he was doing it seemed like he didn't want to leave and I surely didn't want him to. I could definitely use another night of this. I didn't even realize that he had turned me around and had my back up against his car door. He was so smooth with it that he didn't even break our kiss. He started kissing me from the top of my neck down to my collarbone. I clenched my eyes tight and bit my lip. Next thing I knew, a soft moan escaped my lips. My knees went weak and I lost all feeling in my body. I couldn't move, but I didn't care because he had me in ecstasy and we weren't even being intimate. I don't know what it is about Daniel that has me feeling this way, but he's got me completely gone. All of a sudden there was a breeze. I opened my eyes and realized that Daniel had pulled away and was laughing.He had me feeling like this only to leave me exposed. I was stunned and a bit sad because I thought he was going to leave me just as I was. I decided that I wasn't going to be the only one open and vulnerable. I walked up to him, looked at him in the most seductive way and then I did the inevitable. I turned his strong body and gently pushed him up against his car. I decided I was going to give him a taste of his own medicine and let him see how it felt. I began kissing my way from the top of his neck down to his collarbone. Just as I assumed, he shut his eyes firmly, bit his lip and started to lose his balance. I could feel him slowly sliding down the car. That's when I knew I had him exactly where I wanted him.I saw his chest rise as if he was about to exhale loudly, but instead I heard the sexiest moan I've ever heard a guy make. He was taking deep breaths and then I heard him bellow, "Ooooh Hayley!" I knew if I didn't stop, he would be going back to my room tonight instead of The Greenhouse. Plus, I didn't need my parents asking a whole bunch of questions either so I sighed to myself and pulled away.I ripped away from his warm flesh. I guess he felt it immediately because he opened his eyes and tried to grab me, but I escaped his embrace. Playing hard to get, I gave him a gentle peck on his lips, caressed his chin then walked away. I turned around, winked and said, "Call me!" He had this astonished look on his face which amused me. I started to make my way up the driveway to my house. "Really?" he asked. I paused, turned around again, smiled and replied, "Payback!" I grinned then headed up to my house. I could feel his eyes on me the whole time, but I didn't turn around to look.
