Secret: A country romance

Ten

Carlos sat on the couch in the living room, waiting for Elaine to finish preparing. They are attending Jasper's twenty two birthday party in his father's mansion. The whole town is invited so those who wants to be in the Mayor's house are not hesitating to attend.

He was wearing a nice black slacks, a white T shirt with a black blazer on top it. Him and Elaine had gone to one of the very few boutiques in Folktown and it was what he could lay his hands on. Elaine had picked a very nice long black gown with show back. It was a miracle she was able to see such fancy gown and Carlos had insisted she took it immediately.

The room door opened and he looked up from the couch he was sitting on only for his jaw to drop on the floor. Elaine stepped out of the room looking shy, her hair was in a messy sock bun, she had applied very light makeup, a mascara with baby pink lip gloss. The gown clasping on every figure on her body, she was holding a black clutch. Carlos eyes trailed from her slightly old looking heels up to her empty neck then her sweet captivating face.

She was wearing two simple earrings and it was only this time did Carlos wish he could hand her a nice striking necklace, it's such a same her neck has to be empty but still, it didn't stop her from looking like a Disney princess.

Carlos gulped as he fought the urge to clean off her lip gloss that made her lips so irresistible in a sweet passionate kiss.

Elaine could feel his eyes on her lips and she bit her lower lips shyly. Carlos shut his eyes and tried to abort the image from his mind, "Tom" she called shyly and he looked at her with all his desire in his eyes.

"You still have that lip gloss don't you?" He asked in a raspy voice.

"Yes" she answered "why do you ask?"

"Can you go back and put it on?"

"Why, has the one I put on come off?" She asked reaching to touch her lips.

"No, but it will now" he stood up.

Seeing him coming, the first reaction Elaine had was to take a step backward, her eyes glued to his "what are you doing?"

He smiled before smirking, he could see her backing away from him and it just makes him wants to do more than kiss her. Come to think of it, no one will notice if they were a little late, right? "What does it look like I'm doing?"

Elaine could see the mischievous glint in his eyes and she knew he was up to no good, she kept backing away from him and as if heaven wants to punish her, her back hit the door and she gulped, "Tom, we don't have much time" she tried to remind him but he just smirked.

"No one will notice, you are not the celebrant so it's okay to run a little late" he has gotten to her now, he placed his hands on the door, trapping her with his body and the door. She gulped and looked at him deep in the eyes, she could see all his feelings for her in there and even though she didn't want to give in, her body tingled with him just looking at her like that. She bit her lower lip once more and he groaned, lowering his head, he claimed her lips in his "you just have to stop doing that" he murmured in her mouth.

Elaine couldn't protest again as she dropped the clutch she was holding on the floor and reached up, wrapping her hands on his neck. Her fingers laced with his thick silky locks as she kissed him back. And so, they ended up undressing each door and he carried her into the room.

They arrived at the Mayor's house an hour later, smiling with their hands locked, they walked in to see that majority of the townspeople were there but not all. They took nearly thirty minutes greeting people while everyone waited for the celebrant to arrive.

"Elaine" someone called and they turned to see the twins, Acacia and Alicia walking towards them. They were dressed in matching outfits, knee level peach gown, their hairs in ponytail and their face covered in thick makeup "we thought you won't be coming" Acacia said.
