Teaching A Thing Or Two

Chapter 17 Saying Hi

Jameson's POV

I stand on her welcome mat at the front door for a moment, not getting the nerve to actually bang my fist against the door.. I stand there for who knows how long until I hear, "Come on, man! Knock!" Shane yells at me from afar as I nod, letting out a nervous deep breath and finally knocking on her front door.

I hear footsteps approaching as the door knob starts turning with the door swinging open. The first thing I see is Finley looking out until she locks her gaze on me, with a smile forming on her face. Once she sees the flowers, then my face she gets an ear to ear grin as she asks curiously. "Hey Jameson.. good morning.. What do I owe this pleasant suprise?" She asks me as I state. "I wanted to say good morning and see if maybe you wanted to spend some time with me tonight after work?" I ask nervously.

"Are you asking me out?" She asks me, sounding shocked as I nod at her assumption. "But I told you to think about things with me, Jameson.. not just jumping into things." She explains again as I shrug my shoulders.

"I thought long enough about you all last night and even this morning.. so what can I say, Finn? I'm a man who makes sure to get what he wants, and you're something that I want.. and I really don't want to miss out on this opportunity at something that could be wonderful not only for myself but also for my daughter and hopefully you." I reply pretty quickly without hesitation, shocking even myself with this unknown confidence coming out of left field.

"Really? Do you want to try this then?" She asks me, gesturing to the both of us with her hands just for confirmation, as I nod replying. "I would only be lucky enough to get the chance to be with you.. but only if you want to.. I know you have been through a lot, so I never want to force anything.. but I do want to try this." I try to explain to her as she takes the flowers from my hands, taking a deep breath in just smelling the soft scent.

I watch her eyes flutter open then, locking me into another breathtaking stare down before replying. "I don't know how Sunny would feel about me dating you, and she is always going to come first to me because she needs me more than you do." She says, turning and walking into her place, gesturing for me to follow her in. Just leaving the door wide open for me to follow, so I willingly take that open invitation.

"Well, Finley, I hate to break it to you, but that comment is debatable." I respond as I watch her glance back, smirking at me. I slowly walk in as I shut the door behind me, just observing her, putting the flowers into a vase along with water as I say. "Sunny won't mind at all, actually.. she told me last night she knew I liked you because she could see the attraction between us and told me to go for you because you're such an amazing person."

"Really? You talked about me to Sunny?" She asks, turning around, walking back over to me, grinning. "Of course I did. I'm not going to lie to her at all. Sunny and I have a very open relationship, talking about anything and everything.. just a warning.. Oh.. and I got you these too since I know you didn't have the best Valentine's Day." I say, handing her the box of chocolates as she smiles and receives my gift.

"Oh, I know you're a good dad. You're just so sweet.. Thank you for being so thoughtful.. I can't believe you would do all this for me and to what? Just to date me?" She asks as I nod. "I feel something I have never felt but just when I'm with you.. and I want to see where that feeling leads and what it might mean." I explain as she smiles bigger at me than putting the chocolates down on the kitchen island right by her. She turns back around, smirking at me as I check her out before stating.

"So I can't help but notice you wore my shirt to bed.. is there a particular reason why?" I ask playfully, still checking her out as she inches closer to me, saying in a sexy tone. "Yea, because it smelt like you."

"Wow, that's sexy.. really?" I asked, shocked that she really had a reason why she wore it. "Yea, I couldn't get myself to take it off because I honestly love the way you smell it's very relaxing, just soothing my soul every time you're near. So I just used it to soothe me into a deep sleep." She explains as I get excited saying back, "You can have the real thing whenever you want. You need only ask."

I watch Finley smile and giggle as she steps closer to me. "I might have to hold you to that." She says to me as she grabs my belt loops and pulls me closer to her as my arms instinctively wrap around her hips, pulling her in the rest of the way.. I start to lean in towards her as she meets me halfway, gently pressing her lips to mine. The heat of our kiss starts to escalate quickly, making things way hotter than I ever expected.

She kisses me with a hunger that's making it so hard to stop when I know I should. But I can't help myself letting my hands run rampant under my shirt she is wearing. She moans into my lips as I grip her thighs, picking her up and setting her on her kitchen island as she pulls me in between her legs so we can continue to maul each other.

Until I hear hooting and hollering, interrupting our kissing as I look around, seeing my coworkers staring from the neighbor's house and into her window. "Are those your coworkers cheering us on?" She asks with humor as I smile and nod. "They saw the flowers I had brought for you, so I told them about how I felt, and they got excited for me... mostly because they all think you're hot." I explain to her shyly as she smiles and giggles at that. "So, do you think that too?" She asks playfully as I smile but nod multiple times, making her smile big.

"Well, that's good to know.. and just so you know, the feeling is mutual.. But I guess we will just have to continue this amazing session later when we don't have a cheering audience.. So I guess you should get back to work.. I do need to get ready for work anyway.. So make sure to tell your coworkers I say hi.. and I'll see you later?" She asks me as I smile and nod. "So does that mean you want to try this with me and be my lady?" I ask her as she bites her bottom lip, nodding, making me smile bigger. I then hug her tight and press my lips to hers as she giggles into my lips.

Once we broke the kiss, she whispered to me, "Have a great day, Jameson.. I can't wait to see you later." I lean in kissing her again as I hear more hoots and hollering once again, taking me out of this sensual moment instantly.. I groan out as she giggles again and then says, "I'll probably have to make sure to shut those curtains just to get changed, huh?" I groan out and nod before I suggest, "Well, yes, but if you need help, let me know, and I'll be right over in no time at all." I state as she smiles and nods at me. "Thanks for the offer, I'll make sure to keep that in mind. Bye, handsome.. I hope you have a great day at work." She states before kissing me as she backs me up to the front door, I'm assuming.

I hear the door opening as she breaks the kiss, so I decide to say. "I hope you have a great day as well.. see you later."

She blows me a kiss as she starts to shut the door.. This makes me smile as I wave at her, feeling so happy at the results of that action. I'm so happy I finally got the guts to say something because none of this would have happened if not.. I'll have to make sure to thank my friends... I might just have to buy them lunch in thanks.. I'll figure out something to do for them no matter what.

So I make my way back over to the house we are working on as my friends high five me while Shane states to me, "Good for you! You deserve this, James!" He pats my back as Austin replies, "I'm so jealous, man. That kiss looked sexy as hell." I groan at that, pinching the bridge of my nose as I state, "Yea, it was sexy as hell, but I had to stop it because I had an applauding audience just cheering us on."

They chuckle and nod shyly as if they didn't realize how they were coming off, but I don't know how they wouldn't know. They had to have known.

"Oh man, that was amazing, but insane at least for myself.. I haven't done something like that in a while and it was well worth it but I feel like I was running out of oxygen, because she takes it straight from my lungs everytime, just by being near. That woman is going to give me a heart attack if I'm not careful!" I explain as they chuckle at me, so I add, "Oh.. and thank you all for your help. with this.. I'm buying lunch because I'm so grateful!" They cheer just liking my kind gesture as I continue on. "So let's get to work because we have wasted enough time."

They groan, but don't argue as they grab their tools while they head to their dedicated areas. I walk over to the window to grab my things as well. But as I get to the window, I can see her bedroom window open as I can't help but stare in. I watch her walk past and out of my sight as she turns back around and barely into the window.

Finley walks out into view, but she has no clothes on but only a towel, wrapped around her as I watch her gaze lift up until they meet with mine once more as I smirk her way and she playfully waves at me before blowing a kiss, then closing her curtains.

That was well worth it. I can't wait for work to be done with just so I can see her again.
