“I try.” I smile down at her. I haven’t smiled this much in a while, and thing is, she isn’t even trying to make me, it’s just happening.
Her grey eyes lock with mine, and she sucks in her bottom lip. She looks up at me like she’s waiting for something from me. Shit.
“I’ll take my random fact now.” She grins.
I bite down on my lip, smiling, shaking my head. “Of course, okay.” I tap my chin with my index finger like I’m thinking. I know what’s going to come out of my mouth, there are two ways this can go, I just hope it’s right and not left.
Dropping my hand to my side, I tilt my head. “I want to kiss you.” And then I wait.
Her breath hitches a little and her plush lips part. “That’s not a fact, that’s a want.”
I take a step closer to her, breathing in her sweet scent. “A thing that is indisputably the case, that’s the definition of fact, and me wanting to kiss you is a fact.” I step closer, she steps back, now pressed against her car, her eyes never leaving mine. I reach out, my fingers sliding down her face and cupping her chin. “And it’s also a fact that I’m going to kiss you now.”
I don’t wait for her to respond, before I close the small gap between us, my lips quickly coming down on hers. Just like I thought, they are as soft and sweet as they look. Her lips part slightly, allowing my tongue to slip past her lips into her warm mouth. My hand slides down her soft body stopping at her hip. Bliss's arms wrap around my neck pulling me closer, her lips working magically against mine, her soft tongue teasing mine. This is going so right but it is so wrong, I shouldn't be kissing her, I shouldn't be holding her, but fuck me if I can make myself stop.
But leave it to Arrow to stop, her arms fall to my chest, and she is pushing me back softly.
“We-” She shakes her head. “I don't get you. You don't want me to know anything about you, but you want to kiss me. We shouldn't even be doing this.” She sighs. “Maybe-”
“You kissed me back,” I cut her off. “There's been attraction since day one. I didn't know you had to know someone's darkest secrets to kiss them.”
Bliss stares at me, her fingers rubbing the arrow charm that hangs around her neck. She's overthinking it.
She takes a deep breath. “Maybe we should keep this to the library.” She doesn't wait for me to reply, before walking around her car to the driver side.
I curse myself. “I'm re-learning how to let someone in.”
She stops at her door and looks over her car at me. “Why did you stop?”
I smile sadly. “You said one fact.”
She nods, returning the smile. “That is a fact, Bow.”
“Bow?” I squint at the nickname then I smirk. “You’re funny, Bow and Arrow.”
Bliss just shrugs, opening her door. “See you Monday?”
“Yeah, I guess the library then?” I guess I messed up since I can't keep my hands to myself.
“Can you behave yourself?” She raises an eyebrow.
“Of course, I can't.”
Bliss shakes her head laughing. “Then the library it is.”
I watch her get in the car and pull away from the curb, no doubt trying to get away from me. Walking back into my townhouse, I go up to my room and pull my box of letters from under the bed. The bed dips as I sit on the edge, setting the pad of paper on my legs and pressing the tip of the ink pen to it.
Jackson-
So, I may have messed up. Remember my tutor I told you about? Well, I convinced her to come to our place, bad idea. I kissed her. I know, I don't kiss, I never had a real girlfriend. What the fuck am I doing?
C.
I wish he was here to give me advice, but I'm sure if he were here, I wouldn't have met her at all. I would most likely be balls deep in some groupie, not crushing on my tutor. My gorgeous, smart as shit tutor. I could sit here and think about her all night, but I am meeting Cam at Dixie’s. He thinks he’s slick getting me out of the house twice already without me canceling, but I see what he’s doing, he thinks if I start coming out more I might come back to the team.
They aren’t being pushy about it and I appreciate it.
Sliding the box of letters back under bed, I get up to get dressed. It’s been awhile since I stepped foot in Dixie’s. I’m guessing it’s the same crowd of ball players from all teams and the girls looking to be the next wife on one of those reality T.V. shows.
