Tora x Poppy Lemon

Turn Around.

As Tora sat in his car he lit a cigarette. As he inhaled he felt a bit better. He pulled out of the driveway and proceeded down the highway.

He hadn't had these 'feelings' before. Has he lusted after women? Yes. But this didn't feel that way.

Everytime he blinked he saw Poppy. Eyes full of lust... And then eyes full of tears.

'Atleast I have a heart'

Those words cut him deep. Was he really heartless?

He sighed lighting another cigarette.

He imagined her body against his. He loved that she was shy and timid which made her so cute.... but back there she was feisty and hungry, the way she let him devour her neck and how she opened her legs more when he came closer.

'Fuck' he thought.

He really didn't want to hurt her... He didn't know if after that he would hide from her, or maybe her from him.

Was he scared?

He scoffed

"I'm not scared" he said aloud.

Then why didn't he take her right there on the counter?

He replayed the night's events in his head, over and over.

He needed another cigarette. He reached for his pack

Empty.

'Fuck'

He pulled into a gas station

"Pack of smokes" he said begrudgingly to the gas station attendant.

Once he left the store he stood under the balcony.

"Hey gorgeous" said a petite girl coming towards him.

"Get lost" he said

"What's wrong?" She asked sickly sweet "Little girl break your heart?"

"None of your business" he replied again coldly

"Oh come on, ill make you feel reealll good"

He turned to her

"Get lost" he said

She turned away from him

"You're loss, big boy"

He turned back towards his car.

'I need to get home' he said 'I need a drink... Lots of drinks'

He pulled out of the parking lot wondering what she was doing now.

...........

Poppy took off her shorts. She felt like she was hit by a ton of bricks. She tightened her kimono shirt around her. She sat on the couch. She was a bit embarrassed about the whole thing to be honest and she regretted her words

He wasn't heartless, he couldn't be. She has seen it herself. She wished she could tell him how sorry she was. Not in text, as she looked at her phone. She wanted to tell him in person.

"11:08"

'I should probably just go to bed' she thought to herself.

She picked herself up and collapsed on her bed.

*knock knock*

'Who could that be?' She sighed.
****************
He just wished she would text him
Say anything... He would even settle for a 'fuck you' message.

He smiled at that

'Tora stop' he told himself 'You left for a reason'

He picked up speed.

'Are you worried about breaking her heart, or breaking yours?' Said the tiny voice in the back of his head.

"Shut up" he said "shut up"

'Just go' said his inner voice 'of all people she won't....

"FUCKKKK" he said aloud, picking up speed.
***************

*Knock Knock*

"Just go away" she said to who ever it was

*Knock Knock*

She groaned and slid off the bed and walked to the door

She peeked out of the privacy hole. It was him

'Why is he here?' She thought.

She slowly opened the door. He turned to her

"We're going to regret this" he said picking her up and locking the door behind him.
