13- Not-So-Innocerrt (Book 2)

Eve’s pov

As we stood in the kitchen, I reached up and lightly touched his lips, causing him to gulp down nervously. He hadn't been expecting the sudden contact, but he couldn't help the warmth that spread through his eyes at my touch.

Slowly, his arms came around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"I missed you," he whispered, his voice low and filled with longing. "I missed us, Eve."

My heart swelled at his words, and I knew what he was talking about. Because I felt the same way.

"I missed us too/ I replied softly, my lips brushing against his as I spoke.

For a moment, we just stood there, lost in each other's embrace. The warmth of his body against mine felt like home, and I knew that I never wanted to let him go.

"Can we start again?" he asked suddenly, his voice hesitant but filled with hope.

I looked up at him, my eyes meeting his. I could see the vulnerability there, the fear of rejection. But I knew that I couldn't deny him this. Not when I felt the same way.

It might not be love. Yet it was something more than friendship.

Nodding slowly, I leaned up and kissed him again, pouring all my love and passion into the kiss. At that moment, nothing else mattered. We were together, and that was all that we needed.

As we pulled away from each other, our eyes locked. This time, without warning he was the one who leaned forward and took my lips in his to claim them.

I at once gave up and started responding to the kiss. Just a few minutes back when I thought he was ignoring me, I guess I was wrong. The man seemed to know when to give me space and when to blow my mind with those magical kisses.

Leaning into his hard body, I moaned and went still when his hardness touched my inner thigh. He must have sensed my stiffness because he not only pulled back but held me by my shoulders.

"Damn, Eve. Come to my place." My eyes went wide with this sudden and unexpected invitation.

"What?" I chuckled.

"I am serious, love." He cupped my cheek gently, "I promise I will behave like a gentleman. I will cook food for you. We will watch a movie of your choice. We will talk."

I tried to push back my Elijah back in my mind. He used to say the same.

Later he had become confident and used to pass those dirty jokes.

"What are you thinking, long legs?" He waved his hand before my eyes. His heavy voice broke the trance I was in.

I blinked a few times, trying to shake off my thoughts before focusing back on him. "I'm thinking that you're being awfully sweet and gentlemanly, Mr. Adonis. Are you feeling, okay?’ I teased him, chewing my lower lip.

He chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Yes, I’m feeling just fine.

Just trying to impress you, that's all." He said while touching my nose tip.

I tilted my head to the side, considering his offer. 'Well, I suppose I could use a night in. I hope your cooking isn't half bad," I admitted, trying to control the smile spreading across my face, "But don’t expect me to spend the night there." I tried to warn him in a light manner.

His grin widened in response. "Excellent. I will expect nothing if you are not comfortable." He held my hands, "I'll make my famous lasagna. And we can pick a movie to watch. Maybe something cheesy and romantic, just for you."

I rolled my eyes at him but couldn't help the laughter that bubbled up. "Oh, great. Just what I always wanted," I joked, nudging him playfully.

He laughed along with me, his arm sliding around my waist. "Hey, I am sure you will love it/ he said, leaning in to kiss me lightly.

Out of nowhere, I felt contentment enveloping my heart. Maybe things weren't perfect between us, but he seemed ready to welcome whatever I was offering him. And at that moment, that was all that mattered.

"Okay. You've convinced me. Let's meet at your place. Tonight I already have plans with my friends though," I said, and then remembered about my friends.

Both of them had seemed to vanish from the living room. Maybe they were fighting over the selection of some movie.

He squeezed my waist. "You won't regret it, long legs. I promise." By now my eyes were moving to the closed door of Ash's room.

"What is it?" he asked me in concern.

"My friends...” "Oh. They are very much mature adults. They must be busy inside."

Oh, I wish I could tell him. None of us were mature adults. In fact, we were the opposite. The way we used to eavesdrop when Justin used to visit Ashley. Ha-ha.

I was sure my friends must be listening to us. I tried to stifle the urge to giggle. Adonis was frowning at me and didn't seem to mind my nonserious attitude in this serious situation.

"So... should I pick you up tomorrow? For our innocent date?" I chuckled at the term. Innocent date! Great!

After giving me a passionate kiss, he left, leaving me like a fool standing there with a silly smile on my face.

However, I had to swallow hard when I heard the sounds of clearing throats behind me.

I spun around to see Ash and Aniya, both looking at me with smirks on their faces. "What?" I asked, feeling my face heat up.

Ash crossed her arms over her chest, a teasing glint in her eye. ’Oh, nothing. Just wondering if you're going to tell us all about your 'innocent date' with him/ she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Urgh! They were listening!

I rolled my eyes at her but couldn't help the grin that tugged at the corners of my lips. "You guys are impossible. And no, I don't kiss and tell," I retorted, trying to sound serious but failing miserably.

Aniya snorted, shaking her head. "Sure, sure. We believe you,"

I glared at her playfully, before shooing them, "Get lost you two. I was hoping for a little decency, thinking that you both were selecting a movie. But no. You were overhearing my conversation. Get back to your movie or whatever you're doing. I have a date to prepare for," I said, trying to sound serious but I couldn't stop the laughter bubbling up in my chest.

"Shut up!" Ash slapped my back, "The date is tomorrow. Now go and change into something comfortable so that we can start a movie. And yes. You are not selecting the movie tonight. You can do it tomorrow at his place.” Ash stuck out her tongue and disappeared into the room along with Aniya to bring the DVDs.
