Falling for Him

Chapter 2:

We get to the club and wait in line. Once we get to the door, the bouncer tries to tell us we are too young and to go home.

All of a sudden, a voice comes from behind us and talks to the bouncer. " Yo, Gary! These girls are with me tonight bud!" I recognize the voice. Zander!

" Hey man! OK! You guys can head right in."

Zander leads the way. It's a bit crowded and loud. There is a DJ on the far corner of the dance floor with a small stage.

Zander stops and turns around, coming to me putting a hand on my hip leaning into me and whispers in my ear.

" I have a private booth here. Just follow me." He says, sending shivers down my spine. I nod at him and follow grabbing one of his large arms so I dont lose him.

Both of the girls take my other hand as Zander pulls us through the crowd. Again, the feeling of his touch is enough to send tingles through my body.

It makes me wonder what it would be like to be underneath him. Or to even kiss him. His lips look soft and a little plump. But he seems like he could put so much power to them.

I obviously need a drink and a dance partner. So I head to the bar. I order a malibu bay breeze for me and a round of s*x on the beach shots.

Then I pull the girls to the dance floor. I glance back at the table where Zander is sitting and can see that he is watching me.

It feels nice to let loose a little. I work so hard and never take time to relax or have any fun.

Suddenly I feel someone's hands reach my hips and I start to grind against their body. Suddenly I am turned around to see James.

"Hey babe! What are you doing here." I say giving him a kiss.

He pulls away quickly looking frustrated. Dragging me across the dance floor.

"Rea! What are you doing at the club dancing like that with other guys? And you are drinking?"I look at him confused. I have never seen him like this.

" James, I have been working really hard. I just wanted a night to let loose." I say back.

" It's not like I would take anyone back to my apartment or even kiss anyone else."

" I don't care Aurea! You shouldn't be here dancing like that with any other guys. And dressed like that for that matter."

" Well why are you here without me then? Are you going to let some other girl take you home? You look nice!" I retort.

" Of course not. And that isn't the point." He says to me coldly. I dont understand the issue and I am not going to take this from anyone.

" James, I like you! But if this is how you are going to treat me, I think we should see other people." I say with a sigh. Putting my fingers to my head. He storms off and leaves it at that.

I decide to head back to the table and tell the girls to keep dancing. The girls start to question me. I just tell them I'll be okay. They give me a hug and they go back to dancing.

I sit down and take a sip of my drink. I am so furious. He completely ruined my night.

I start to tear up a little, still confused so I quickly head to the restroom.

When I get myself together, Zander is outside waiting for me. He immediately pulls me into a hug and asks if I am ok.

" Yeah! I just have never seen him act that way. It was kind of a buzz kill." I say in his ear.

He let's go and pulls me to the bar. He orders me a shot of tequila and then leads me back to the dance floor.

He spins me around and we start dancing.. It felt nice to dance with him.

Once again, he pulls me close to him. Whispering into my ear, " I think you look gorgeous!" He let's go and I let out a small laugh as he spins me around and grabs my hips.

Man! It felt good have my body against his. His hands helping me sway my hips to the beat. After a few minutes of dancing, he turned me back to face him.

He leaned his face down to mine, grabbed my chin and kissed me. All I could do was look into his beautiful green eyes in shock.

But he started to deepen the kiss and they flew shut. It was amazing. He tasted so good. I just wanted it to last.

But all good things come to an end. He pulls away with both of us panting. Then once again he whispers into my ear.

" Now you have something to help you forget him." I am still in shock. My panties are soaked. But I still keep dancing.

I turn back around grinding on his huge bulge. He is wearing a navy button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

It looks so good against his olive skin. And he has dark wash jeans that hug him in all the right ways. He even got his hair trimmed so its off of his face.

He twirls me around. I face him again. I drape an arm aroundhis shoulders.

I can't seem to stop myself. I just grabbed his neck and pulled him down to me and I crash against him.

He grants my tongue entrance while holding onto my hips. We are still slowly rocking to the music. Then he pulls away staring at me with curiosity.

" What was that for?" He asks, leaning into my neck.

" It just felt good." I reply back. His face is still buried into my neck. I once again shivered at the feeling of his breath on my skin.

His hands are holding my body to him. I feel so small compared to him.

He let's go and I walk over to the girls who don't seem like they even noticed. They were across the room. I was actually thankful of that. I need to process what just happened.

After a couple more hours at the club, Zander tells us he will drop us off and bring me to get my car tomorrow. I sigh in relief. I definitely can't drive home like this.

Zander walks us up to our apartment to make sure we get there safely. He is quite the gentleman. He pulls me to him before I head through the door.

"Aurea! We will talk about this tomorrow, ok?"

" Sure!" I say back with a smile. He gently kisses my cheek. He let's me go and I turn quickly to go inside. I close the door and head straight for my room.

I am so tired. I just took off my clothes and plopped on the bed.

I nearly pass out from the comfort it brings. But I also can't help but think of Zander's lips on mine and the way it felt to have his hands on my body.

It felt so good. Just thinking about it sends chills through my body.

I reach down to my panties and push them aside. I am already wet at the thought of his tongue in my mouth.

He tasted so good. His whisper in my ear and his hard c*** against my a** as we danced. I could already feel my orgasm ring through my body as I pumped my fingers in and out of my wet p***y. Then I drifted off to sleep.

The next day, I wake up to a knock on the front door. I answer it in my booty shorts and tank top.

It's Zander. I forgot he is taking me to get my car from the club. I let him in and tell him to have a seat on the couch while I get dressed.

I catch him staring at my ass as I turn to walk away. " You aren't going to wear that?" He asks with a grin.

" Maybe I will!" I say back and he shakes his head chuckling. I laugh in response and go change into some jeans and a black tight fitting t-shirt.

Before we head out, there is another knock on the door. I peak through the peep hole to see who it is. Its James. S***!

I Crack open the door and he pushes it walking right in. He looks straight at Zander.

" What is he doing here?" He asks with a snort.

" Chill James! He is here to bring me to get my car from the club."

" YOU COULD HAVE ASKED ME REA!" He yells. But I just stare back.

" No James! Remember, I broke it off last night. I can't do this. Just because we were dating, doesn't mean you can tell me what to do or wear. I am not property. Just because I am having a good time, doesn't mean I am going to leave with someone else. Not with knowing D**N well that you are someone I care about. I wouldn't have hurt you like that." I rant.

" You drinking and dancing with other guys, dressed so sl***y like that did hurt."

" Well, I'm sorry James! But I still just don't think this is going to work out."

" Whatever Aurea!" He says as he storms out. I can't help but feel a little sad. I know we didn't put a label on anything.

We never discussed being exclusive. It wasn't even a relationship I felt would last and I was thinking about breaking it off. But it still hurts a little. His words stung.

A stray tear hits my cheek. I try not to let his words get to me. Zander comes over and gives me a small hug. He whispers into my ear.

" You are going to be ok! This relationship wasn't meant to be." I can't get any words out, but I know he is right. So I just nod my head in response.

Zander asks if I am ready to leave. I manage to say "Yeah" and we head out the door. Once he starts driving to the club he asks, " So.... do you want to talk about last night?"

"Honestly, I don't even know what to say! I mean it felt good. I would do it all over again." He lets out a small chuckle and flashes me a big grin.

" What's that grin for?"

" You liked it!" He says. I'm not sure if his grin can get any bigger. I laugh, not holding back. If there was any awkwardness between us, it's gone.

" Well, I was already thinking of breaking it off. I knew it wasn't going to last. Even when I kissed him, it was okay. But it wasn't anything great. I wanted it to be more than it was."

" Just admit, you liked my lips on yours way better." I laugh and smack his arm. " In all seriousness though, I like your laugh. It's nice to see you having fun. Just let me know if you want to hang out."

I nod at him and say "thanks". We pull up to the club and he gets out to walk me to my car. He pulls me in for a tight hug and I wrap my arms around him. Just a simple hug from him feels so good.

" I would follow you back, but I have a couple errands to run." he grabs my phone from my back pocket and puts his phone number in.

I text him "Hey Zan!" as soon as he hands it back so he can save my number.

" Now, you are sure you will be okay?"

" Yeah! I have Rach and Mya to keep me company until work. I'll see ya around Zan!" I wondered if he was trying to be a friend or if there was something more under the surface.

Once I got back to the apartment, the girls were up. We had breakfast and they immediately asked questions.

" So what was with James last night?" Rachael was the first to blurt out.

" Honestly, I dont know. He all of the sudden got controlling and jealous. He even said that I was dressed like a sl**. I'm not sure if it because of Zander....." I trailed off.

" Wow! I CANNOT BELIEVE James would treat you that way." Alegra yells. They pull me in for a hug saying, "its for the better" and we get our breakfast. I was desperate for a cup of coffee.

The rest of the weekend goes by ok. I just try to focus on work and school. As Monday rolls around, Zander even sits with me and Ali in biochemistry.

When James walked in, he even gave my hand a quick squeeze before letting go. The rest of the week flies by. James doesn't even look my way. But I don't mind.

I just focus on hanging out with the girls. I meet up with them a couple of times a week for lunch. Zander even has lunch with me once a week.

It's Friday again and I think its warmer than last week. I put on a short, flowery pink sun dress with spaghetti straps.

I decide to text Zander since the girls are out again to see if he wants to come on a walk.

After I put my hair up in a ponytail, I get a reply. " Sure, I will be outside your door in 10." So I put a little blush and lip gloss on.

He is right on time. I grab my brown cross body bag and run out the door. He says "hey" as I run past him grabbing his hand pulling him along with me down the stairs.

" Where are we going?" He yells out.

" I don't know!" I say as I stop and turn around to look at him. " The park again, maybe?"

" Okay! Do you want to grab a bite before we go? That way we can sit and eat it there."

" That sounds nice. I just really needed to get out." The warn sun feels so nice on my skin.

" Alright, come on! I know a place that has killer sandwiches a couple blocks from here." I let him lead the way. We don't say much until we are almost there.

" Here we are, it's just a couple doors down."

It's a small shop, but the food smells delicious. They have a chalkboard menu and everything sounds good. I decide to order a turkey sandwich with avocado and a pepper and garlic aoli.

He gets a double decker turkey bacon sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.

I wonder how he is going to fit all that in his mouth. We pay and head out.

" Man, I cannot wait to eat now. Everything looked so good!" I say as we head in the direction of the park. It is about a 10 minute walk.

" Me too! I skipped lunch today." He says, and I can hear his stomach. I throw my head back laughing.

" I can hear how starved you are."

Once we regain composure, he looks at me and asks, " How have you been Aurea?"

I like how he says my name. His voice is a little gruff. " I have been OK! I mean, it's not like I was attached or anything. Besides, if he has that side to him where he can be controlling and speak to me that way..." I trail off. " I don't see myself being with anyone like that."

" Yeah! I understand that."

" Now, enough about me!" I say with a smile. " I want to know more about you."

"OK! But how about this. After I answer your question, I get to ask you one?"

" Deal!" I say thinking it sounds pretty fair. We both know nothing about each other.

" Do you have any siblings?" I ask.

" I did! I had an older brother." He passed away a few years ago." I could hear the pain as he said it. " Now, how about you? Do you have any siblings?" He asked me back.

" I have two older brothers. Miles and Francais... My turn again. Where are you from?"

" Pennsylvania actually. Harrisburg to be exact. Now its your turn." He says with a small smile.

" I'm from New York. My family has a house up near Lake Placid. We didn't have much. But I loved living in the mountains. I just hated driving to go shopping. Lake George has nice shops though. But the best mall to go to is in Burlington. That was always a day trip. Now What do your parents do?" That was something I have always been a little curious of.

" My dad is a doctor with his own practice. My mom works there as a nurse." He says. So, he does come from a little bit of money. " How ab.." I cut him off.

" My mom works in a factory, and my dad does construction. But really, he should have been a chef. He is a great cook." I say as we arrive at the park. " I learned everything I know from him. "

We walk over to the same bench we sat last time.

" Now I really am hungry." He says while rubbing his stomach. We hurry and eat our sandwiches. Its probably the best sandwich I have had since I came here.

Once we finish, we walk around for a few minutes.

" I hardly ever come here. For the most part when I walk around, its just to get food." Contentment fills his voice.

" Yeah! It is beautiful. I come here a lot. Oftentimes to clear my head. I put everything I have into my studies. it took me a lot just to get here." I say with a smile.

" Should we head back?" He asks.

" Sure!" I say as we start walking.

We have been walking for a few minutes and I notice he is staring at me.

" Uh, Zander? Why are you staring at me like that for?" I ask. His green eyes are practically piercing my soul.

" Just thinking, I have actually had a fun time hanging out with you. I may go to parties, but I don't really drink. I think people get too stupid and careless. Which you already know. Although, the party you went to was probably the most fun I have had."

We both chuckle at that thought. " I just don't really get to really chill and have a good time. Most of the time I just try to focus on my studies. My dad would kill me if I flunk out."

I never thought of him like that. I thought he would be with his friends whenever he isn't in class.

" Well, I am having fun with you too." I say back. We reach our building and again he walks me to my apartment.

" Zan, do you want to come in and watch a movie?" I ask in hopes that he says yes.

"Why not! I don't have any plans for the night." He says while stroking his beard stubble. We walk in and I head to the bedroom to get a throw blanket.

" Just make yourself comfortable. There is hard cider in the fridge if you want to grab a couple bottles." I throw the blanket on the couch and start looking for a movie. " Do you like It Zander? or we have American Pie and Scary Movie?"

" It 2 is fine!" He says. So I turn it on and we go to sit on the couch. We sit next to each other and I put my legs up to the side of me. He rests an arm on my thigh. I almost jump from the touch.

" Just so you know, I get jumpy during creepy movies. I like this one though because it has its funny moments." I tell him. He chuckles and says "OK".

I actually did jump when the boy is locked in the box after the hall of mirrors and It pops out. I find myself leaning against him.

He puts his arm around me, pulling me into his chest. His warmth feels so good. I just want to stay here.

Then we both laugh hysterically when the old, naked lady runs through the screen.

After a few minutes I turn my body facing out and drape his arm down the front of me.

His big hand grazes my stomach. That minor touch makes me want more. I put an arm on his inner thigh. I can hear a small grunt. I can't take it anymore.

He moves me around to face him. I can feel the hunger in his eyes. I pounce. My lips crash on his once again.

One hand on my bare thigh, the other on my hip. I move on top of him and he sweeps his tongue inside my mouth.

I can't help but let a moan escape. I can't remember ever kissing someone and it feeling this good.

I have one hand on the back of his neck, under his hair. The other is on his chest. He sweeps both hands up my thighs under my dress, all the way up to my hips.

His hands feels so good against my bare skin. "Zander" I muttered out his name as I rest my forehead against his to catch a breath.

" Are you sure you want to do this Aurea?" He says, as both of us try to catch our breath.

I look into his eyes. I can see he wants this just as badly as I do. But I also see concern.

" Yes!" I manage to spit out. We go back to kissing for a couple of minutes. He moves me off of him for a minute. He looks at me again.

" You do know that if we do this there is not going back?"

" I know" I say, breathing heavily.

" I need to know something first. Before we go any further. Don't be shy with me. I won't judge."

" What do you need to know?" I ask curiously.

" Have you been with anyone else before?"

Ah! It's that question.My face turns bright red. I bite my lip before answering.

" No! But only because it just never felt right. I never had a physical attraction to anyone before."

His eyes look into mine. Growing with hunger. He is okay with me being a Virgin? I thought he would be upset with that.

" And you are absolutely sure you want your first time to be with me?" I'm sure he thinks I will regret it. I get up and walk over to him, grabbing his hands.

" Zander, I'm sure. I don't care if it goes any further than that. I just know that I like you as a person. I can also tell that you care about my feelings. That means a lot to me. Also, this feels way too good to stop."

" You won't regret it? I have already told you I have had a lot of flings." He says.

" I don't care. I have gotten to know who you are. You said you wouldn't judge me. So I won't judge you. Would you regret it?"

" I wouldn't regret doing anything with you, but I also don't want to ruin whatever we already have."

" So, let's not make it complicated. It can be a one time thing. We already know how we both feel. Right?"

"Right!" I step closer to him and reach up to give him a kiss. As soon as my lips brush against his, the doorknob starts to turn

" S***! The girls are back. Let's just finish the movie for now and act casual. I don't want them to make a big deal out of this." I say and we quickly make our way back to the couch.
