The shift was over. My phone pinged. My heart nearly stopped...
KIAN: Smiler meet me at the take away. Trouble ;)
I couldn't fight the smile across my face. I texted back quickly..
EBONY: Only if you get me an ice cream!
KIAN: An ice cream will be ready and waiting
I had butterflies.
Emma called.. "You coming Ebony?"
"You guys go, I'll see you tomorrow." I smiled.
I waved then set off to the take away. There he was leaning against the glass looking as hot as ever with that tempting tattoo poking out from his collar. He smiled his full smile.. "Here. I figured ice cream might cheer you up. No bopping though."
He gave me a playful glare.
I chuckled.. "Thanks Trouble. Wanna share?"
He looked surprised raising both eyebrows but nodded.
I shivered I was getting a little cold with the ice cream. He stopped, gently grabbed my elbow pulling me forward towards his warm body. He wrapped his arms around me shielding me rubbing my bare back just below where the crop top stopped. I looked up at him then held out the spoon full of ice cream.. his cheeky grin spread across his luscious lips. I longed to kissed them since the night I first saw him. He brought his mouth to the spoon not taking his eyes off me. This felt intimate, too good to be true for me. Nothing could ever be simple for me though. He licked his lips and all I could do was stare at them. He took the tub from my hands, drank the melted ice cream then leaned to the side to put it in the bin. He wrapped his huge arms around me once more.
"What you thinking Eb's?" He asked his voice low.
That threw me a little only Sadie called me Eb's. It sounded good hearing him say it but then again it sounded sexy when Ebony rolled off his mouth too. Let's face it this man could make shit sound sexy.
Looking down I swallowed hard... "I'm thinking about your lips and ice cream."
He chuckled at my random honesty. He brought his hands to cup my face tipping my head up to look at him and brought his lips down to mine. They were soft but demanding. Kissing had never felt so good. My hands splayed across his firm torso sliding up towards his chest, his neck, then into his hair. He groaned against my mouth.. it resonated through my body. I gasped and shiver travelled through my body. He held me closer.. his lips were against my neck I could feel him smile against my skin.
After a while he pulled gently away.. "Let's get you back to your car."
I smiled and nodded.
I couldn't stop my mind working overtime. Should I invite him back to mine? My thoughts ran wild. I was gutted he stopped kissing me. I wanted more.
We reached the car and it was there again the pull between us. I decided to ask before I chickened out.
"Do you want to come back to mine?"
"I want to.. but it doesn't mean I should."
I frowned confused and a little embarrassed at the knock back. I stared down at my feet.
"Fuck.." He moaned.
"Ebony Smiler shouldn't be Ebony Frowner." He said smoothing my frown with the pad of his thumb.
"It's fine. I get it don't worry."
I started opening my car door when his hand pushed my door closed.
"Tomorrow? I can come by tomorrow during the day.." He said.
Great now he just felt sorry for me. Could I feel any worse.
"What's the difference? From now until tomorrow?" I asked.
He shrugged clearly not sure how to answer.
"Don't feel sorry for me Kian I'm fine. You do whatever you need to."
He looked confused.
"I don't feel sorry for you I just think it's best if I see you tomorrow."
He brought the back of my hand up to his lips and kissed it.. I think this was his way of taking the sting out of the rejection. I pulled my hand back opened my car door, got in and wound my window down. He leaned down resting his forearms on the window...
"Tomorrow?" He said with hopeful eyes.
I'd never seen this side of him. Totally different from his usual masculine strong, confident, playful side, he was kind of showing me a vulnerability in his eyes.
I sighed looking back up into his eyes but I soon was drawn back to his soft lips which had started curling up a little at the sides.
"I'll see. Text me since you managed to get my number out of someone. Did you use your charm on them too!"
He laughed, he had a contagious laugh.
I drove off and heard him shout.. "Your not so easily charmed!"
On my drive home thoughts flooded through my mind. He gave me that naughty wink at the club. He surprised me and bought ice cream which we shared and it looked even more delicious on his lips. He kissed me!!! He actually kissed me, well my eyes couldn't of been more obvious what I wanted. I'm still so confused why he didn't want to come back to mine. I huffed maybe he doesn't feel the same, Craig did say he doesn't date but then he did say he's kind of different with me. The drive had been a quick one home.
I got out unlocked the front door and went inside.
Slid down the back of the door when my phone pinged...
KIAN: Did you get home safe? You didn't have to bop anyone or anything?
Hahaha.. now I could play this two ways one make him feel bad or two tell him the truth.
EBONY: I got home ok, I wasn't safe from my thoughts though. You've confused me a little
KIAN: I'm sorry
KIAN: Sweet dreams. Try not to think of the kiss too long
He's sorry? Does he regret the kiss, telling me not to try think of it too much. He has one hell of an inflated ego. Damn it why does it have to be complicated. I decided against texting him back. I was too confused. I wiped my make up off and got into bed. I started to imagine the smell of him, the sexiness that plays on those lips of his, his eyes drinking my body in, making me feel sexy, his strong arms around my body...
