Hey You

24

We climbed into the backseat and sat close to each other. Craig turned up the music while he and Roxanne chatted in the front seat. In the back, I could feel the fire burning between us. His arms were wrapped around me and I had my back pressed into him. The position reminded me of earlier on the quad, my back arched in response. I couldn’t believe that just his embrace could turn me on like that. I craved his lips on mine, I wanted all of him in that moment.

I turned my head and kissed him deeply, our tongues making contact with each other. Dancing back and forth between our mouths.

We pulled into their driveway, Craig walked Roxanne to the passenger side door of my car. Holding his jacket over her head.

Steven grabbed his sweatshirt to give it to me. “Here, just in case you get cold from all this rain.” 

“Thanks” I said with a blush and took his sweatshirt and threw it into my purse.

We exited the truck into the pouring rain. I pushed his back up against the truck and leaned into him. Sliding my hands up his arms, cupping the back of his head I pulled him down to me. His arms went around my waist and as our lips met once again as thunder boomed overhead. It did nothing to decrease the fire that was lit between us. His hands slid down my body to my ass. He grabbed me and lifted me up, turning our bodies so now my back was against the truck, wrapping my legs around his waist. 

The rain fell down on us, our clothes now soaking wet. I could care less. His body was pinned against mine, stoking the fire into a wild blaze.

Roxanne yelled my name from the other side of the truck, waiting for me inside my car.

Steven pulled back and put his forehead to mine. Slowly loosening his grip, I slid down the front of his body.

"Call me when you get home." He kissed my forehead.

"Okay", is all my brain allowed me to say.

He opened my car door for me and I slid behind the wheel. Roxanne had already started the car.

He shut my door and walked to the porch door with Craig. 

My hair was dripping wet the whole way home, and my clothes were soaked through.

I grabbed my bag and dug for my pack of cigarettes. I was having the hardest time to not think about Steven. Or how fast things escalated in the woods. His fingers inside of me, the explosion he sent through my body.

"Okay, spill it" Roxanne said breaking the silence and my thoughts.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about," I said to her.

"Stacey, I know you. I knew something happened the minute I saw your face when you walked into the party after going out with Steven on the quad."

I couldn’t look at her. I was still driving, but I also didn’t want to see her expression as I said “He fingered me. I know it seems too early, so quick. I just, I don’t know. I couldn’t control it. When he kisses me, the world disappears and I feel like I’m..."

"Stacey, stop it’s okay. You don’t have to give yourself any excuses. Was it fast? I don’t know, it's almost been a month. But, no one can say what’s too fast or what’s too slow besides you." She was facing me now, I could feel her eyes on me.

"Just don’t let him push you into going any faster, or further than you want to go," she added.

"Thank you. I really like him and he seems to feel the same." I went on to tell her how it had started.

We pulled into my driveway, and ran into the house out of the rain.

We had a guest room and bath and from time to time Rox would stay there or she'd stay with me in my room. Tonight, she opted to stay in the guest room. Winking at me "I told Craig I'd call him tonight."

Which was perfect, because I told the same to Steven.

I decided to take a hot shower first, since I was soaked from kissing him in the rain. 

I walked into my room from my private bath with a towel wrapped around my body. I found Steven’s name in my contacts and pushed the call button.

It rang twice before he picked up "Hello?" He said, his voice sounded sluggish and tired.

"Hi, sorry did you fall asleep?"

"No, I was just laying here...thinking of you."

"Oh really?!" I said teasingly "Sorry it took me so long."

"Did something happen?" He asked.

"No, I wanted to take a shower first. I was cold from the rain."

"Haha, I wonder why" I could hear his smile in his voice. "So does this mean you're in your pajamas?" I could hear the excitement in his voice.

At first I hesitated, "I, uh...actually...I’m...just in a towel."

He was silent, I could only hear his breathing on the other end. 

"Rrreeaalllly" his voice no longer tangled with sleepiness.

"Mmhmm, it’s a little small too." Where was this coming from? Just talking to him made my body and mind become uncontrollable.

"Um. Hold on 1 minute, “he said.

I took the opportunity and slid my rope on. Quickly made sure the front door was locked and said goodnight to Roxanne.

Returning to my room, and locking my door at the same time he came back on the line.

"Sorry. I needed to make sure my door was locked."

"Me too" I replied.

He was breathing heavy on the other end. "So, tell me about this towel..."
