More Than a Friend

Affection

I rushed upstairs to avoid seeing my parents. I'm not sure they'd approve of the smudged lipstick.

"How was your date sweetie?" my mum called from the lounge.

"It was good, I'm really tired though so I'm just going to go to sleep" I shouted running up the stairs, borderline out of breath.

I went into the bathroom, freshened myself up, got rid of those pesky shoes and slumped on my bed.

Staring at the ceiling, all I could think about was Jo. How was he such a God? Did he have even one flaw?

I heard a tap on my window. Although I was lazy, I shot up and met eyes with the one and only. I got up and went over to the window to open it.

"Wanna come over?" his smirk and his wink told me that he was thinking the exact same thing as I was.

"Okay," I said calmly but I think even Jo could see my excitement.

"Close your window and come over in 10"

He abruptly shut his window and his curtains. I didn't even know he owned curtains! At least this gave me time to do what I needed. I looked on my notes on my phone, searched for 'Pre-Sex Checklist' and began doing the already thought out sequence of events guaranteed to give me a good night.

I shaved everywhere, that took a decent chunk out of my time.

I didn't have any nice lingerie or anything, maybe I should've taken that shopping trip with Isobel more seriously. I just threw on a navy matching set. Any matching set got me turned on, maybe Jo would feel the same also?

I threw on a massively oversized hoodie, tip-toed down the stairs and creaked open the front door.

I texted Jo that I was outside his house. He announced that I didn't have to be quiet as his parents weren't home and wouldn't be for the rest of the night. I knew he said that as I was whispering but all I could think about was how loud I could be. I guess I'd find out tonight if I was a screamer.

"I hope you like what I've done with the place"

He pushed open his door to reveal about one hundred candles scattered across the room and rose petals dispersed evenly both on and off of the bed. I would be lying if I wasn't curious as to how he got the rose petals on such short notice.

"Jo..."

I entered the room, admiring the scent, lighting and mood of the room. I was, for the first time in my life, speechless.

I heard the door close and Jo came up behind me, rested his chin on my shoulder and wrapped his arms around my body.

"So... Do you like it?"

I turned my head to look into those gorgeous eyes of his.

"It's amazing Jo"

His smile was one of relief and love. He stood up straight, spun me around to face him and kissed me lightly on the lips. In an attempt to not fall over any candles along the way to his bed, we kept briefly looking down and then resuming our favourite activity.

When Jo got to the edge of the bed, I pushed him on it, I had been waiting for this moment for way too long now. I stripped off my hoodie and threw it on the ground. Jo was now lifting himself by his elbows to get a good look. I climbed on top of his divine body.
