“So..Who won that battle of wills, Berry?”
“You..definitely you, Biscuit. When you learn to snarl like that?”
“Just now...Hehe..It was instinctive…Guessed you liked it?”
“As if it wasn't all over my face..It’s was..Oh my gosh! It made me feel..tingly.”
“Tingly? That what you gonna call it.”
“For now yes...Tingly..Very tingly. I’m not going more into this for pride and innocence sake.”
“Umm… The way you kissed me was anything but innocent, Berry...Quite lusty actually. Where did you learn how to kiss like that?”
“I don’t know...never did, it just you made feel so…”
“Tingly?”
“Yes, Tingly with your..hmmm..Snarls.”
“It’s your fault, Connie. The way you was standing just now, sitting on my lap and everything. I can’t help that I felt...Raw.”
“Raw, huh. Well that the first time I ever heard that from you. What’s ‘Raw’ suppose to mean, Biscuit.”
Steven allowed a little chuckled to escape lips as he looked at the young woman in his arms, through half-lidded eyes. He wasn’t surprised to see her looking back amused and inspecting.
“The same thing ‘Tingly’ means for you, Berry.”
“Oh my, I never knew you to have such perverted thoughts.”
“You do know YOU just admitted to having perverted thoughts.”
“I have long since admitted to myself to be a person of carnal thoughts and feelings...”
“Oh, really now? May I ask who?”
“ the usual celebrities, fictional characters...you.”
“Oh, wow..Me huh?”
“Yeah...I mean I don’t have them a lot and I don’t do much of anything…”
“What would you do?”
The blank look Connie shot at him was enough to make him realize that line of questioning was off limits. He let a strained laugh.
“The Maheswaran neutral look of displeasure. Got it, off limits.”
“Exactly, but I hope you don’t think of me differently, well negative.”
“Negatively, never..Differently, most definitely..”
“A good different?”
“Oh the best, I can tease you more with just a sound.”
Connie pouted at her liege but tightened her hold a bit before putting her head to his chest. Steven’s chuckle vibrated in his chest causing her to smile.
“Fine, i guess that’s a privilege I can grant..that and thinking about me in a ’sexy’ way.”
“You mean ‘in a sexualized way’.”
“Yes…It’s only fair since I think of you in a similar way.”
“Hehe...gotta say it’s surprising how much you’re insisting that i think of you like that.”
“I know and it strange but as selfish as it sounds. I want you to ‘WANT’ me, physically as well as emotionally and mentally ’ like i do you ...I want you to be completely at ease with me...to make a move on me.
“Connie, are you saying that you want--
“NO!”
The blush and her bashful face made Steven heart burst. For someone so confident as Connie to act shy like this was to adorable. She looked down and place the top of her head to Steven chest.
“I mean...Not now...When I graduate then…”
“So you made plans? Well now I'm honored and quite lucky to be in this position.”
“Who else would It had been?”
“Well you did say you had thoughts about celebrities..”
“Goofball.”
“Your goofball.”
Connie chuckled before looking up at him, love shining in her eyes. “My goofball...Finally..”
