Hey You

13

We turned around to see the tall brunette and two of her friends standing a few feet away from us.

“Who the hell are you?” She repeated when none of us answered her.

“What does it matter to you?” I replied back.

The girl took a step closer to me, “I'm not sure what you think is going to happen between you two. But he will come back to me, he always does.” 

I looked her straight in the eyes, trying not to show any intimidation. “He's never been with me.” Is all I got out as Craig jogged up to us.

"Everyone up for some dinner? I'm starving!" Craig said becoming over dramatic.

He noticed the girl as he stepped up closer to us. “Is there a reason why you are here? He's not going back to you, stop making a fool of yourself.” he said to the girl.

The girl crossed her arms and let out a huff. “Why don't you let Steven speak for himself.” She replied after a minute of silence. “He wasn’t turning me down Saturday.”

"Rethink that" Steven said from behind my shoulder making me flinch. “Pretty sure I sent you packing shortly after these girls left Matt’s on Saturday. I drove Craig and I home and texted Stacey before going to sleep...alone.” He said to her, while placing his hand on my lower back. I felt my body tighten up, as he slid his hand up to my shoulder. Leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake, sending a wave of s****l desire over me. I could care less about this girl demanding answers. I just wanted his hands all over me.

“Her name is Stacey.” Hearing my name snapped me back to reality. 

Steven had moved from my side to in front of me, blocking my view of the girl.

“I don't care what her name is Steven! Why are you playing games? We all know this isn't over.” She batted her eyes at him with a smile.

“No, actually it is. You need to stop following me around and showing up places where you're not invited.”

“You didn't seem to care about the other night”

I tensed up at her words, remembering them being all over each other. I didn't know what was happening between us, but I wanted to leave right now.

Steven continued to argue with her as I slowly backed away. I needed to get away from them and have a cigarette.

Roxanne grabbed my hand as I stepped further back and the girl stepped closer to Steven.

I wanted to look away. I wanted to be with him, not have him with her. And she was dangerously close.

Instead of continuing my retreat, gears in my head shifted and I quickly walked back up to them. 

With only thoughts of wanting him, I walked up to his side. Grabbing his arm I turned him towards me. His eyes locked with mine, as I reached up onto my tippy toes, snaked my hand behind his neck and pulled him down to my face. Meeting his lips with mine.

He deepened the kiss wrapping his arms around my back, pulling me into him. 

“What the f**k?!” I heard the girl say, as she stomped away.

Steven tasted like fresh mint, he was intoxicating. My hand moved from his forearm up to the back of his head. If it was possible, I'd pull him closer in.

Steven was the first to pull away, leaning his forehead on mine as we caught our breath and looked into each other's eyes.

“Now that was interesting.” Craig laughed slapping Steven on the back. 

“Food. Now. I'm starving.”

Steven nodded and took my hand, leading me to the parking lot.

“Who's riding with who?” Roxanne asked.

“We're going to have to take all three cars. So just ride with me Rox.” I said, letting go of Steven's hand.

He nodded as everyone climb into the cars, “Follow me.” He said climbing into the driver's seat of their red bronco.

"I think my body is going to explode." I said to Roxanne as I inhale the cigarette I’m holding onto following behind the Bronco. "I don’t know what happens to me when he touches me. And never mind what happens when he kisses me!"

We laughed for a few minutes.

"Tell me if I’m crazy" I say to her as we wait for the light to turn green "Katie looked like she wanted Craig"

"I saw it too, it’s insane! She's never going to stick with one."

"Well, in case you didn’t notice; Craig seemed oblivious to it. His eyes kept looking over to you" I winked at her.

We followed the red bronco to their house. I cut the engine and unlocked the doors, just in time for Steven to open my door.

“Come ride with us.” He said as he put his hand out for me to take.

Sliding my hand into his, I grabbed my purse and got out of the car.

As Steven lead me to the bronco he moved the front passenger seat forward. "I'll sit in the back with Stacey, Roxanne you can sit in the front."

"Ok, thanks" Roxanne said.

I stepped up and as Steven held the door open I climbed up into the back of the truck. He followed me seconds later.

Once Roxanne climbed into the front, we were off to the restaurant.

"Where are we going anyways?" I asked.

"Rough Oak, it has the best burgers!" Craig replied.

Sitting back against the seat, I realized just how close Steven and I were to each other. His arm was across the back of the seat, when I sat back it fell to lay across my shoulders.

My body felt like it was turning into putty. The crook of his arm was warm and welcoming. So I took my chances and shifted in my seat so I’d be leaning against him.I could feel his chiseled chest between our shirts, and swore he flexed his pec muscles when my back lend against him.

"Oh, um...is this ok? Am I too much?" I asked him and started to shift away.

He grabbed my shoulder "no, it’s perfect. Not as perfect as last night, but still perfect.”

I blushed as I relaxed into him again and his hand dropped to hang above my chest.

We pulled up to the restaurant 15 minutes later. I wanted to protest and not move. We separated and Steven climbed down from the truck first.

I started to make my way towards the front, his hand reached out for mine.

Taking it, I took a deep breath, my mind going blank once again.

Why does this keep happening? I thought. My v****a twitched with want and I pictured him shirtless. Making me forget how to move.

I took a short step forward, meaning to lift my foot over the passenger seat seatbelt. Only, because I was so clouded my foot barley made it and I tripped forward.

Before I knew it was I was falling towards the open door, I squeezed my eyes shut expecting to hit the ground hard. Reaching my hands out to brace myself, I found warmth instead of the cold cement. Opening my eyes I realized that Steven had caught me and was holding me up.

I found my footing, but he didn’t loosen him grab around me. That’s when I realized we were alone. Craig and Roxanne had wandered off to the double door entrance. He slowly lowered me to the ground, keeping me close to him. My hands laying on his biceps. They flexed as he moved forward, one of his hands moving to cup the back of my head while the other stayed at my hip. Our lips touched, soft at first. My hands slid up his arms and wrapped around his neck as the kiss grew deeper.

My lips parted, inviting his tongue in. He didn’t waste any time, pushing me back against the truck. His body covering mine, our tongues working together. A soft moan left my body as he bite my lower lip. His arm was wrapped around my waist, and I squeezed the back of his head with one of my hands. The other had gone to his bicep and grabbed onto him.

He stood almost a foot taller than me, his hips pressed against my lower abdomen, I could feel him growing with excitement. Relishing in his want I gave it back to him. Taking his lower lip between mine he let out a sound of pleasure. Pressing his body harder against me, my back pressing against the cold metal of the truck.

If we weren't standing in the parking lot, I think this kiss could have gone a lot further. His hand left my hip and had started to travel up my stomach towards my chest. Leaving a trail of warmth my mind raced in over-excitement. Doing everything I could to not melt in his embrace.

The sudden scream of the broncos alarm went off, making us both jump lips parting from each other.

"That jackass" Steven said between breaths. We were both breathing heavy, as he took a few steps back. I suddenly felt exposed to the public. Wanting to grab him back to me.

Instead, he reached for my hand and led me across the lot to the entrance. I followed behind him, a smile splashed across my face, my cheeks flushed.

We made our way to the table and sat down across from one another. The second he sat down, he turned and punched Craig in the arm.

"Hey! Why'd you do that?" Craig yelped.

"Right, you have no idea" Steven growled "I can see the truck from here."

Realizing that everyone must have been watching us from inside, my smile faded and my cheeks turned bright red.

"I was making sure no one was trying to break into it, I swear" Craig winked at me and chuckled.

Roxanne reached her hand over to mine on my lap and gave it a quick squeeze.

"Uh, I’ll be right back...Katie? Roxanne?" I quickly stood up and walked to the ladies room.

"Holy s**t, holy s**t, holy s**t" I said half to myself once the main door closed, both girls behind me.

"I’d say" Katie said amusingly

"That looked intense" Roxanne added.

"It was" I agreed. Just thinking about his lips, his body pressed against mine. His moan of pleasure sent a thrill right between my legs, I felt like I was about to pee my pants. 

"Oh my God, he was, is, amazing! I cannot believe that happened. I’d give anything to have his body pressed against me again."

“Maybe it will, maybe it won't. Who knows if he liked it as much as you did.” Katie said while applying her lip gloss.

My mouth fell open in disbelief. “What is your problem?!” I snapped.

“Nothing, but let's get real Stacey. You're a virgin, and he, well he clearly isn't.” 

All excitement and happiness left my body. I couldn't believe she was acting like this. She always acted like a b***h, but it was usually always directed at the guy she was with.

I walked into a stall and slammed the door shut.

“What is your deal Katie?!” Roxanne demanded from her.

“Nothing, but she’s inexperienced. I’m just giving her a heads up. She should just stick to John. He’s more her pace.”

“And what exactly is her pace?” Roxanne demanded.

“Well technically she doesn’t have one…” Katie said “He’s going to figure it out, if he hasn’t already.”

I quickly used the bathroom and walked up to the sink. “First off, John and I aren’t anything. Hell, nothing’s even happened. While clearly, something is happening with Steven.” I said turning to her.

“What are you going to tell John tomorrow on your date?!” She questioned, Roxanne’s mouth falling open.

“Date?” Roxanne questioned.

“I’m going to cancel it, actually.” Said to her, staring into the mirror. I had completely forgotten about John and him asking me out on a date. I never got around to telling Roxanne and the shock was written all over her face.

“Why? Because you made out with Steven twice now?” Katie said sounding annoyed.

“Katie, seriously what is your deal?” Roxanne asked.

“Clearly she's mad that she doesn't have the option to f**k this entire group of boys.” I replied washing my hands.
