SHUT UP AND KISS ME!

CHAPTER 10

Jake"s POV

I"m waiting for Abbie here outside her door for thirty minutes now. I want to ask her out but I don"t know how to say it to her. She looks so pretty when I saw her today with her mom.

I was leaning beside her door when she arrived. I immediately smiled when I saw her.

"Hi beautiful!" I said making her blush.

"Umm...what are you doing here?" She utter nervously.

"Well I was thinking if you would like to go hangout with me." I invite her. I hope she"ll say yes.

"Okay, where are we going?" She asked.

"You choose, anywhere you like." I let her decide.

"There"s a new bar opening tonight, would that be okay?" She suggests.

"Great! I"ll pick you up at eight. Laters baby." then I cannot help myself and kissed her right cheek and hurriedly strode to my door.

When I"m inside I let out a breath that I didn"t realize I was holding. Man, did I just kiss her cheek? If I can repeat that I would kissed her delectable lips.

I wonder how kissing her would feel, I think it will be heaven.

I was watching TV to pass the time when I heard my phone ringing. I check the caller id to see that it"s my boss.

Yes Sir, Good evening. I greeted him.

Watson, do you have any progress on the case I assigned to you? He asked straight to the point.

Yes Sir, I was going to report it to you tomorrow, I found some leads but I still need to verify it. I explained.

Good, give me a complete report tomorrow morning. Our client is a little bit impatient. And with that he ended the call.

When it"s exactly eight o"clock I knock on Abbie"s door. I heard footsteps getting closer and ready myself to greet her but someone else opened it.

"Hi I"m Lisa, Abbie"s best friend." She speak offering her hand to me.

"Oh! Hi I"m Jake." I shake her hand looking bewildered.

"I know, Abbie told me lots of things about you." She said in a loud whisper.

"Really, Like what?" I asked her interested. I wonder what Abbie thinks of me.

"She said your good looking and hot and ...." She blurted but was cut off by Abbie.

"Hi Jake, I see you already meet my bff Lisa." She said her cheeks reddened from embarrassment.

My eyes traveled from her face down to her body. My throat instantly went dry when I saw what she"s wearing. I think I"m going to have a hard time preventing myself to hurt other man who dare take just a glance at her.

"Let"s go?!" She asked me and drags me down the stairs. I didn"t have time to wave goodbye to Lisa.

As we reach the parking lot I lead her to where my red mustang is. It was a graduation gift I received from my dad. I drive while she gives me the directions.

The place was almost full when we arrived. I lead her inside to find a table. I can see the men"s eyes following her, looking at her with desire. I immediately put my hand in the small of her back for them to see that she"s with me.

"What drink do you want?" I asked her.

"Margarita would be a good start." She said.

I"m reluctant to leave her by herself on the table but I need to get our drinks.

As I make my way back to our table drinks in hand, I saw a man approach her. I walk hurriedly to get to her.

"Can I sit beside you?" I heard the man asked her. Before she could answer I place the drinks in my hand on the table and said.

"Sorry baby, I took so long to get our drinks." And place my arms around her shoulders when the man saw me he immediately left.

"Thank God! You arrived on time." She said facing me.

"You know I will always rescue you." I told her taking a sit opposite to her.

We drink and talk for a while, I only had one beer because I need to be sober to drive us home while Abbie had five glasses of her drink. I can see her getting giddy.

"Let"s dance Jake." She pulls my hand when she heard an upbeat music that she like and lead me to the dance floor.

"You know I love to dance" she said near my ear her breath caressing my cheek and put her hands around my neck while swaying her hips to the music.

I have been captivated by her that I started to dance following her movements. She turns around her back facing me and I put my hands on her hips.

She"s right, she really knows her moves. Even the other guys on the dance floor can"t help but notice her.

After three songs the music slows down and a love song could be heard on the speakers.

I automatically put my hand in the small of her back and pull her closer to me. She rests her head on my shoulder facing my neck. Her breathing sending waves of pleasure to my body.

"Why do you always smell so nice Jake?" She said taking a deep breath in my neck.

"I like your smell too, Abbie." I told her burying my nose in her hair. I could stay like this forever, I thought to myself.

The song was ending, my nose was still buried in her hair when Abbie lifted her head from my shoulders. Her head slide upward and our eyes meet her nose a centimeter away from mine.

We stare at each other’s eyes, ocean blue eyes to emerald green ones. I commit to memory every perfect detail of her face then my eyes wondered to her pink bow shaped lips.

I used all my strength to resist the urge of kissing her but my heart was telling me another story.

"I need to pee." She blurted all of a sudden.

"Okay, let me escort you to the ladies room." I offer and wait for her outside the door.

After her bathroom break she ordered another glass of margarita.

"This is your last glass, you’re already wasted. I don"t want you to throw up inside my car." I told her.

"Yes Sir!" She said giving me a mock salute. I just smiled at her antics.

After she finished her drink I drive back home. We climb the stairs while I help her stand she"s saying random things and giggling. We reach her door and I take her keys to her hand because she has been struggling to insert the key to the keyhole for the last five minutes.

Finally the door opened and we stumble to her sofa. I try to lay her there but she protest.

"No, I don"t sleep in here I want my bed." She whines like a child.

"Okay baby, I"m carrying you to your bed." She"s so cute. I scoop her and walk to her bed.

When I lay her down she didn"t let go of my neck. Our eyes meet and this time I didn"t stop myself and kissed her.

We kissed slowly, our lips dance to the beat that only our hearts can hear. I can"t describe the feeling, it"s much better than being in heaven. When we stop I saw Abbie sleeping peacefully with a beautiful smile on her face. I tuck her in and kissed her forehead before leaving.
