"How long have you been here?" I asked curiously.
"When he said he wouldn't mind kissing you and dying, Tony, I didn't know you have good taste in women" Cal laughed.
"Ah, sir. I do oh, I have been trying to get Sidney baby for how many years now but she's proving hard to get"
"What if she doesn't actually want you?"
"Ah, a fine boy like me?"
I scoffed in disbelief, like what does he think he is? Yes, he is a good-looking man, but jeez! No way! I wanted to leave that conversation instantly. I don't know, I just feel very awkward with Cal's smiling and Tony's naivety. Somehow, while they conversed, I managed to escape. A few seconds later, Cal started calling my name, but I ignored him.
I ran to the backyard and waited there. Some minutes later, I heard Cal approaching, and trust me, I hid. I watched him as he went around the house looking for me and yelling my name.
After some more minutes, he became so worried that he had to go and search outside for me. He left the house. Then I sneaked inside, ate, took my bath without leaving any trace of myself, and then ran back to the backyard. He came back an hour later and started shouting my name like he would die if I didn't come out, but I still didn't respond. To be honest, I was enjoying this. I want him to crave me, to miss me, to want me.
He left the house again, and I went back inside and checked my phone. Then I realized he had tried to reach me on the phone. It has been up to three hours now, and I was tired of playing the game already, I called him, and he picked up the call immediately.
"Sidney! Where the hell are you?" He sounded worried and angry at the same time.
"I'm home"
***
He arrived two minutes later, and immediately he saw me, he hugged me so tightly. I felt his broad chest wrap me like a sushi wrapper, it was so warm. I felt his heart beating fast. The hugging went on for some minutes.
"What happened? Why did you leave that way, you scared me. I thought something happened to you. I …"
"I'm sorry. I was in the backyard all the while"
"What? I came to the backyard twice"
"I hid"
There were a few minutes of silence, "You didn't play hide and seek when you were little?"
I shook my head and he burst into laughter. "Why did you do that? Did you know how worried I was? I thought you just took a walk, perhaps to avoid that pervert and then, you went missing or something"
"I was embarrassed at first, that's why I went to hide, but then, it became fun and I…"
He shut me up with a kiss, a remarkable kiss for that matter. I have never felt so hungry for a man as I felt at that moment. I wanted to do more, so I started rubbing his head and making sure he didn't stop kissing me, meanwhile, he got the message and held on to me tighter, even pressing my buttocks. It was exciting.
"Sidney, I love you."
I didn't know how to respond to him at that time, but isn't it too early to say that? And again, I was embarrassed. I ran upstairs to my room, leaving him standing there all by himself.
Why am I this way? I hated myself for a second, and I bounced on my bed and buried my face in my pillow. I started chewing the pillow out of excitement and of course, embarrassment.
Suddenly, I heard the door to my room open, I didn't shut the door, and it was too late. Cal was already in. He looked at me as I was lying on the bed like a big nincompoop.
"Please go away!" I begged him, I was already too embarrassed to face more embarrassment, and he started laughing.
"I am not going anywhere until you get used to me being around you and not being embarrassed at the slightest thing."
"Okay, I am no longer embarrassed, go please!"
"No, Sidney. No." he came to my bed and sat on it, I sat up immediately, avoiding eye contact with him. "Don't you want to do this?"
Of course, I wanted to do it, but I couldn't say yes, and neither would I say no.
He threw his phone on the bed, sat on it, and moved closer to me, this time he was so close that he was able to reach for my lips. The outstanding kissing again. If I perish, I perish. I needed to make this moment special.
I circled my arms around his shoulder, my breast grazed his chest. His kiss was a delightful melding of us. My hands trembled with sensate need, I slid across his forearm and up to the biceps that were tantalizingly visible through his light gauze shirt. His tongue slid across my lips, parted them, and then traced the slick surface of my teeth. I couldn't help but gasp at the coolness of his mouth. I felt the heat of his desire. Why is this gentleman so irresistible? Usually, when something is this good to be true, it needs to be studied properly. I guess I should stop him. It is going too far. I pushed him back slightly, he gave me the sexiest look ever and bit his lips. Again, if I perish, I perish… I pulled him back closer to me and continued what he started. This time, the heat was hotter.
