Danger in the shadows

Can I?

The car ride was quiet, I was staring at my window trying to ignore the random glances that Demetrius was giving me. I was going to let him kiss me, I had really thought he was going to kiss me. I have never in my- “You know I need your address if you want to go home.” He said looking at me breaking my thoughts. “ or I could take you to my house” he added with a chuckle  “ my house ” was all I said as i Typed my address into my phone and propped it up so he could see the GPS.  “ so tell me about yourself Jessica”  “ what is there to tell? We just moved here from Virginia about a month ago” I told him looking straight ahead.  “ because of your mom’s promotion?” He said and I shrugged my shoulders. “ yeah something like that”   “ how old are you Jessica?” We were stopped at a red light and he was looking over at me.  “I’ll be 18 next week” I told him and I swear I thought I notice him sigh in relief. Looking at him confused? Why would he sigh?  “ what about you Demetrius. I don’t know why i need to do all the talking”.  He laughed and started driving.  “ alright well what do you want to know”  “Anything” I shrugged and it seemed like that was all he needed. He spent the next 20 minutes telling me about himself and his family. They moved here from Italy about 3 years ago. They came to America so he could go to school and go to college or take over the family business And he turns 19 in June. At this point we pulled up to my house and Demetrius parked the car in my driveway,  he turned to the side and looked at me. I unbuckled my seat belt “well thank you for the ride” I told him and I opened the door to climbed out. Demetrius turned off the car and climbed out as well. “What are you doing” I asked him. “ walking you to your door” he said as he grabbed my bags. Oh well what a gentleman he is. I told myself. Smiling I walked towards my door and was grabbing my keys out of my pocket. I turned to look at Demetrius behind me realizing I didn’t want this night to end just yet. I wanted to know more about him. I wanted to hear about his dreams, his goals his plans. I needed to know more. “ would you like to come inside?” I asked him. He raised his eyebrows at me, surprised at what I asked. Hell I was surprised. It came out before I could stop it.   “ sure I can do that” he said with a small smile. My heart leaped for joy and I quickly unlocked the door and lead him inside the loft and walked towards the kitchen. As I was walking I texted my mom and let her know I was home and not a minute later she sent a text back saying she probably won’t be home until lunch tomorrow they had a really big case dropped on their desk. I sighed and set my phone on the counter and went to the fridge “ everything okay” Demetrius asked.  “ yeah my mom won’t be home until tomorrow I guess. Nothing new. Would you like something to drink”. “ water thanks” he said. I reached in and grabbed the bottle of water and turned around and  ran into Demetrius. I faltered back and he quickly grabbed my shoulders to stabilize me. I looked up at him and seen he was already staring down at me. Slowly his hand crept up to my cheek, where it stopped with his thumb right below my cheekbone.  “Jessica” he said leaning closer to me and this time it wasnt in slow motion. This time i didn’t have a chance to wonder if he was going to kiss me. I knew this was about to happen. Before I could react or pull away his mouth barely grazed my lips. My hands was clutching the water bottle in my hands. My heart was pounding. I looked into his eyes. He was staring at me, searching, waiting, waiting to see my reaction, waiting for my response. In the meantime my mind was searching trying to figure out what to do. I can’t kiss him can I? I mean this doesn’t mean anything. It goes like this all the time in books. I sighed. Exactly in books. Not in real life. And then I thought. It has to start somewhere. Right? I mean he’s here in front of me, waiting to kiss me. Waiting for my approval. My journey might as well start here. Right now with him. Without putting any more thought to it. I closed the distance between our lips and kissed him. The moment that our lips touched It felt like electricity shot through us. I broke our lips and took a small step back and looked up at him to see if he felt it too. I mean I can’t be the only one that felt that right? His action quickly answered my question. Demetrius snakes his arm around my waist and pulled me to his body to in the same instance he tilted my heads towards him and smashed his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned into the kiss. I felt his tongue trying to push its way into my mouth. I opened my mouth just a little Bit and felt his tongue push its way in. I didn’t know what to do. I never kissed a guy before. I was just trying to do what I read in books. But I pushed that out of my mind and just focused on this kiss that was happening now. The kiss that was sending electricity all the way through me all the way to my core. With no other thoughts I started moving my lips with his. I tangled my hands in his hair as I felt him pull me closer. I couldn’t get enough of him, i Couldn’t get enough of the way his lips felt against mine. I couldn’t get away from the fact that it felt like my body melted into his. That his body started where mine ended. Suddenly I felt Demetrius lift me up by my waist and set me on the counter. He wrapped my legs around his hips and kissed me harder. I could feel his manhood pressed into  my very center through his pants. And with that panic washed over me, I put my hands on his chest and pushed him away. Demetrius tore his lips from mine and stepped back. He was breathing heavy as he stared at me. I took deep breathes trying to breath in as much air as possible. Trying to calm my racing heart down. “Is something wrong” Demetrius asked me with a look of confusion on his face.
