SHUT UP AND KISS ME!

CHAPTER 7

Jake"s POV

Since I met Abbie I cannot get her off my mind. I remember when I first saw her on the bar, she was wearing a royal blue halter dress which hugs her delectable body. I see her nursing a glass of margarita in her right hand.

Her doe shape eyes seem glassy and sad. She"s talking to the bartender animatedly. I feel jealous for the attention she"s giving him.

Grabbing my beer the back of our hands touch, I felt a bolt of electricity strike my body. It was weird, never experience that before. I gaze at her face to see if she felt it to and I saw her shiver. Our eyes meet, I"ve never seen such vibrant pair of emerald green eyes. She"s so beautiful! I thought to myself.

I didn"t expect to bump into her in the supermarket the next day. I was surprised and very happy to see her. She looks so adorable, she"s simply stunning.

"Oh, sorry I"m not looking where I"m going." She apologizes. Her voice was so soft it"s like music to my ears.

"It"s ok, no harm done." I said while giving her a sly smile. She has been staring at me for a moment, I know she"s checking me out. I can see that she likes what she"s seeing.

"Miss are you ok?" I asked. She seemed to come out of her trans and blush. Damn! My heart sore at the site of her, I"m captivated.

"Yeah I"m fine, I"m sorry again." She utter consciously.

"I"m Jake by the way." I introduce myself and offer my hand for a shake.

"I"m Abbie."

"A pleasure to meet you Abbie." I said. Our hands touch, her skin is so soft. Her hand fits perfectly in mine, I don"t want to let go.

She cleared her throat and I realized that I"m still holding her hand and reluctantly let go.

"I"ll go ahead, I"ll see you around Abbie" I wave goodbye.

"It"s nice to meet you Jake, bye." Then she proceeded shopping.

I"m here in New York for an assignment. I"m a private investigator, my company provide the place where I will stay.

I"m on my way to the apartment complex where I would live for 2 months. All my things are delivered and set when I arrived.

I check my things, feeling satisfied I decided to head off to buy some food.

Getting out the door I saw Abbie in the opposite door. I"m surprised that we cross path again.

"Hello, we meet again." I approach her.

"Wow! I didn"t expect we"ll be neighbours." She cheerfully replied.

"How about I invite you to have pizza and you tour me around, I"m new here." I asked her shyly.

"Oh! That would be great, just let me put these bags inside and we can go." She said opening her door.

"Let me help you with those." I pick up three grocery bags.

"Thanks, you can put those on the table."

"Your place looks cozy and lively." I complemented looking around.

She takes me to the Empire State Building Observatory.

"Wow! The view in this place is awesome." I cry out, admiring Manhattan"s skyline.

"Oh come on! You have with you the best tour guide in Manhattan what do you expect." She teased.

"Really? How could I be so lucky to have a very pretty guide." I countered playfully and smirk. She blushed at my complement. She"s so cute!

I walk near the glass windows to have a better view of the streets below. I take some photos.

"Can we take a photo together if you don"t mind?" I asked, scratching the back of my head. I feel silly what if she disagree.

"Oh! Okay." With that I feel relief.

I want to put my arms around her shoulders but that will be too much. I don"t want to take advantage of her. We smile looking at the camera, she"s so lovely. I can"t help but notice her bow shaped lips.

We ate pizza and it taste heavenly. I"ve never tasted pizza this good.

Our next stop Central Park. We walk through Hallett Nature Sanctuary to Gapstow Bridge then take a seat in one of the bench pacing the pond.

"It"s beautiful here, I"m grateful you agreed to be my tour guide." I blurted and smirk.

"I"m glad you liked it, this is my favourite place in Central Park. I always come here whenever I want to unwind or I feel stress, it"s relaxing here." She glances at me. I can"t take off the smile on my face. Sitting here so close to her makes me want to touch her. I want to feel her skin against mine it"s so tempting but I restrained myself.

We just sit here watching our surroundings in comfortable silence.

"Would you want to grab some ice cream before we head home?" I asked her.

"I love ice cream!" She said beaming at me like a kid. She"s really adorable.

"Is that so? Alright let"s go!" I chuckle and stand offering my hand to her. She didn"t hesitate and hold my hand smiling at me.

I don"t know what she"s doing to me. I feel contented just holding her hands.

We eat our ice cream then drive back to the apartment.

"I really enjoy my tour, thank you." I said wholeheartedly when we reach her door step.

"I had a good time too." She utter. I can see that her eyes are not as sad as it is last night.

"I hope we hangout again soon." I offer staring in her eyes. I could get lost with those emerald green eyes.

"Definitely ." She answered.

The next day I spend it inside my room, doing some research in my laptop. Searching for someone is hard to do specially when there"s only limited info provided to you.

I"m looking for a woman named Aubrey. New York is such a big city to look for someone but I"m sure I can manage.

I heard a commotion outside my door. I heard a familiar voice screaming. I strode and open the door, the sight I saw instantly makes my blood boil!

I yank that person away from Abbie and slam him on the wall. I"m fuming now.

Abbie run to me and hug me, I put a protective arm around her shoulder. I can feel her body shaking.

The jerk hurting Abbie stands up and stride to our direction. I put myself in front of her to protect her.

"Who is this bastard?! You have..." the jerk flare up.

"Go away Lance I don"t want to see your face again!" Oh so he has a name, I wonder who is he. He tried to reach Abbie from behind me but I"m faster than him. I grab his arm and bend it behind his back. His face contours in pain.

"If you don"t want me to break your arm I suggest you leave now!" I bark and push him away. He looses his balance slightly and run down the stairs.

"Are you alright?" I asked concern about her condition. I didn"t stop myself from caressing her cheeks with the back of my hand. Her skin smooth to the touch.

"Yes I"ll be okay, thank you for saving me." She reassures me and hug me. I was taken aback by her action but recovered fast and on instinct close my arms around her. She let go of me instantly, I misses the feeling of her body against mine.

"It"s okay, I"m glad I"m here and save you on time." I beamed at her. I walk her to her door.

"I"m going in, thank you again." She speaks then enters the door.

"Take a rest and call me if you need anything." I didn"t bother her with questions. Now is not the right time.

Now I"m sitting here inside her apartment for a movie night. I stretch my arm and rest it in her back. I want to pull her closer to me but I can"t.

"Abbie can I use your bathroom?" I said on the middle of the movie.

"Okay, it"s inside my bedroom the door to the right."

I rise and strode to her bedroom. Everything in her house is organize, not a single thing out of place.

I do my business. I need to wash my hands. Walking closer to the sink I notice something pink was peeking out inside. When I get closer I pick it up and groan when I saw that it"s a pink lacy bra with matching panty! I feel my body heat up instantly imagining her wearing this offensive garment. Her breast perfectly moulded, curvy hips and soft creamy white skin.

Fuck! I"m getting a hard on, I need to stop myself but the images of her wearing only this keep flooding my mind.

"Deep breaths calm yourself." I chant. I don"t want to come back to her without calming myself first I might do something stupid.

When I think I can handle myself I exited her room. I saw her arms resting on her knee cradling her head in her hands.

"Are you okay?" I sit beside her and ask. Concern that something was wrong.

"Yes I"m fine." Was her short replay.

"Are you sure?" I inquire not convince.

"Yeah, don"t worry too much." She smiled and looks at me. I can see her cheeks reddening in the process. I think she knows that I saw her underwear. I"m not gonna embarrass her more by mentioning it.
