“~nothing in between our skin but the rh-hyy-thm!~” Catra shouted to the beat of the song from the car radio and Clark just had to rub at his forehead in an attempt to ease up the headache he feels is on the way.
“~make sure that your heartbeat beats to the rh-hyy-thm~! my heart is beating so wildly” she suddenly said the last part out as she placed both her hands over her chest and bent forward a bit so it appears she’s in pain
“it must be the alcohol and the loud singing Catra” he sighed, there was no way it could be the effect of meeting Leonard stone again, not when she doesn’t even remember anything
The silence that followed after had him removing his eyes from the road to take a quick look at the woman beside him only to be met by her brown orbs already on him, a smile on her face.
He’s momentarily taken aback. She looked like a foxy predator ready to pounce on her prey at any time
“Wha…What’s wrong…?” he didn’t get to finish when she suddenly leans into him, way too close into him that he could feel her breath on his jaw
The car swiveled a bit and he cursed under his breath
“What the hell was that for?”
“Clark”
He had never heard his heart beat so loud before, so loud he hears it ringing in his ears
For the first time since meeting her again, this was the first time she called him by his name and God it sounded just the way it did when she was a princess and he a servant.
The feeling of familiarity it brought to him awakened different emotions in him
He couldn’t blame it on anything; he never had a drink tonight afterall
“Get back on your seat Catra before…”
“I want to f**k you Clark, I want you so bad”
The car came to a screeching halt that lolled Catra’s head back forcefully and caused it to hit the car seat, successfully knocking her out
Clark’s heartbeat became erratic as he stared wide eyed at the knocked out girl in disbelief and suddenly there was a lump too big to swallow in his throat and the car became too hot for him stay in despite the AC that was turned on.
So he stepped out for a bit of air
“it must be the drink” he convinced himself while adjusting his tie so it hung loose on his neck as the cool night breeze passed through his body “Catra cannot be that blunt” he breathed as he swept his hair back with his hand.
He stayed out for a few more minutes trying to organize his thought and remove his mind from the gutter that Catra’s words had thrown it to before stepping back in and driving away.
Perhaps with a peaceful night rest, he would be able to clear his mind more effectively.
I just need to sleep and get my mind off the things that have happened tonight’ he thought as he drove away into the dim lighted night.
Clark’s POV:
However, I never got that peaceful night sleep I fantasized about
Instead I felt so tired as I stared at the reason for it while she happily chewed on her eggs and bacon without a single care in the world with her legs bouncing crazily under the table.
“Can you stop doing that?” I blurted, maybe it was beginning to annoy me without me even knowing or…
“Oh…” she stopped and smiled with her half bumped out cheek that was filled with food “I can’t help it, this is the best bacon and eggs I’ve had in forever”
And just like that a smile threatened to break out of my own lips at how beautiful and cute she looked at the moment but I catch myself from doing that when I remembered how tired I was
“Whatever, you should head home when you’re done” I said as I got up to leave for the bathroom, hearing her hum an answer as she continues to bounce her legs
She’s just too clueless and free
The water that met my back once I was under the shower seemed to wash my stress away for a bit and I visibly relaxed, my thought running back to yesterday
Flashback (yesterday)
“So umm…” i said as I got back inside the car but apparently, sleeping beauty was far into dreamland than I could reach her now
I sighed
“Alexar,, search the company’s database and get me the address from Catra Jones’ file” I commanded the phone wizard and in no time it responded and called out the address that was supposedly on Catra’s file.
My car gps wizard couldn’t locate it though and it showed a location that was lands and oceans away from where we were
“Can you check again Alexar, this address is incorrect”
It called out the same address again and was sure it was from Catra’s file
“Did she fill in a random address as her home address when applying for a job or what?” I asked myself quietly before deciding it was better to get the answer directly from her
“Hey Catra” I called and she hummed quietly in her sleep
“Tell me where you live so I can take you home”
She didn’t reply so I tapped her gently while repeating my question
“I don’t wanna go home” she answered still sleeping “I wanna lay with you so bad~”
My hands tightened around the steering wheel
No, no, no, no. please don’t do this to me again
I don’t want to even imagine it
I breathed before deciding the best thing to do was take her to my place so we could rest a bit, I myself was getting too tired after driving aimlessly for a while.
A few minutes later I was parked outside the penthouse complex and was out the car and into the building with Catra in my arms
She was unresponsive when I tried to wake her up so I carried her instead; mistake number one
Her arms wrap around my neck as she clung to me tightly
‘is she scared of falling?’ I thought to myself but didn’t dwell on that much when the heat radiating from her body to mine was desperately seeking my attention
I don’t give in though
And then it was time for me to lay her on the guest room bed
I carefully bent down a bit to drop her gently down but her arms around my neck refuse to loosen up
I looked up at her to see her eyes were open and she was staring up at me
The look in her eyes almost looked warm
I smiled
“You need to sleep the alcohol off Catra” I said softly not wanting to fully waken her up should in case she was still sleepy “so let go so you can sleep”
I tried to get her arms off me again but she tightened her hold on me
Damn she’s as strong as always
“Did my words go through your ears without you getting anything Clark?” she suddenly said, her voice barely above a whisper as she looked straight into my eyes
“Wha… what do you mean?” my knees go weak at the sound of my name and weaker when she looked between my eyes and my lips
She sighed
“Do I have to always get things done by myself?” she asked
It was a rhetorical question because before I had the chance to question her on what she was talking about, her lips abruptly met mine
It was warm; her lips
I felt her eye lashes flutter close against my cheeks and I blinked
My eyes wide open as I looked disbelievingly at the girl in my arms
Catra was kissing me
Princess Catra initiated a kiss with me!
WHAT THE FUCK
