Speared My Heart

Coffee

I stirred a bit and woke up covered in a blanket on the couch. I sat up and tried to figure out if it was morning or still night. I couldn't tell because there was no direct light coming in that I could see. I heard sounds and shuffling so I decided to head in the direction of that noise. I stood up and felt around to make sure I wasn't going to crash into anything. I maneuvered my way to a wall and ran my hand along it as I walked towards the noise. I reached a doorway and the shuffling stopped

"Good morning"

"Hi. What time is it?"

"7:30. My house doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight so that's why it seems darker than it is...if your wondering"

I saw a large dark shadow in front of me and I stepped back for a second since the only person I saw as a shadow until now was Joe.

"Did I scare you? I'm sorry"

I blushed "Sorry. The only shadow of a person that I've seen until now was Joe...it threw me for a second"

"Kyla did you want to come with me to get some coffee?"

"I don't know....do I?"

He laughed at me "I don't know Ky...do you like coffee?"

"Yeah"

"OK soooo I'm going to Starbucks for coffee...did you want to come?"

"You want me to go?"

"I've asked twice haven't I?

I blushed again "Yes I want to go.  But I only have what I'm wearing....which to be honest...I don't even know what it is. Do I at least match or color coordinate?"

He laughed again "You look fine. We'll have to work on getting you some clothes since you can't wear the same thing every day."

He took me by the hand and led me to the couch. I plopped down and giggled. His couch was so soft and comfy. He disappeared for a second and came back and grabbed my foot

"What are you doing?"

"You can't go out in your socks"

I bent over and tried to push his hands away. We bumped heads and I giggled a bit and I felt a quick peck on my lips. I blushed

"I can do it"

I put on my shoes and he took my hand and we walked out the door. We arrived at Starbucks and I got out of the car and stood next to the door. I hesitated, unsure of where to go next, until Jon came over and put his arm around my shoulders and we walked together inside. I grinned from ear to ear, but couldn't help but wonder if he was doing all of this because he felt sorry for me. He ordered his coffee and I ordered mine. I loved the smell of coffee. Especially when you open a brand new bag and the scent of the grounds come flowing out. I closed my eyes and took in the sounds as we waited. I was trying to remember the last time I went into a Starbucks and what it looked like so that I could picture what I was doing right now. We got our coffee and sat down on one of the small couches in the seating area. He put his free arm around me and I cuddled closer

"Jon...you aren't doing this because you feel sorry for me are you?"

"No. I'm doing it because I feel like you deserve to be treated with respect and because I love you."

"You do?"

"You don't remember? I told you like 4 months ago and you told me you knew, but that you loved Joe and you were sorry if it hurt my feelings."

"Oh. Did it?"

"No...well, a little but I understood.  I fell in love with you when we were pretending to be in love for the show."

"I'd kiss you but I can't see...."

I heard his cup being set on a table and then he took my coffee and did the same. He took my hand and held it for a second making me smile. He started to raise my hand and then suddenly pulled me up to stand

"What's going on?"

"Come on"

I felt a tug and I followed where he was leading. I could tell we were outside and he was walking with a hurried pace. We suddenly stopped and I heard the car doors unlock. He let go of my hand and I saw his shadow in front of me again. I reached out to him and he suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close and kissed me.  I broke away from the kiss and blushed. Some how I knew he was smirking at me

"You're smiling aren't you?"

"So are you."

I laughed a little and he slowly kissed me again. I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around his neck and played with his hair. He spun us around and backed me against the car and pressed himself against me. I pulled back breathless

"We're in a parking lot."

He opened the car door and helped me in.  I hadn't felt this way in a long time. I hadn't felt like someone cared or actually loved me. I kept trying to deny it for a long time but his touch and his kiss lit a fire in me that I hadn't felt in a very long time.

The car stopped and my door opened. He helped me out of the car and led me into the house. The door closed and he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck.

"I love you Kyla"

"I love you too Jon"

He spun me around and cupped my face

"Really?"

"Yes."

He kissed me again, our tongues dancing in rhythm. I tugged at the hem of his shirt and he broke away and pulled it off and took off mine as well. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. I felt him walk forward and then set me down with the edge of a bed touching the back of my legs. I ran my hands down to the button of his pants and unhooked the button. He smiled behind the kiss

"what?"

"I've been waiting a long time for this. Are you sure? Because we can stop right now if you want."

"Don't you dare stop."

I felt him smile again as he kissed my neck and unbuttoned my pants. I stepped out of them and he laid me back. I ran my hands up his back to his neck. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head  as he guided his way in.
