Matters of the Heart
**
\\”Hello?”\\
//”Hello.”//
She couldn’t help but smile at
the sound of his voice on the other end of
the line.
\\”Hey!”\\
//”I got a question for you.”//
\\”Okay, shoot.”\\
//”How soon can you get here?”//
\\”Ummm...
Wednesday good for you?”\\
//”Wednesday? I’ll be an old man
come Wednesday.”//
\\”You’re an old man already.”\\
//”Watch it
little girl.”//
\\”Ooh those are fighting
words.”\\
She heard his chuckle through the
ear piece.
//”Come on, candle light, soft
music, bubbles…”//
\\”Bubbles?”\\
//”Aha.”//
\\”Hmm... You’re not making this
easy on me.”\\
//”That’s the plan. I want
you.”//
I want you too, she mused, but
I’m not the only one she added thinking back
to her run in with Lita.
~Flash Back~
“Tell me it’s not true.”
“Lita, hi, what’s not true?”
“Tell me you’re not sleeping with
him.”
She didn’t have to ask who ‘him’
was. There was only one ‘him’ that she and
Lita had in common.
“I’m not sleeping with him.”
Lita sighed and smiled obviously
pleased with her answer.
~End Flash Back~
But I may have had I not bumped
into you, she thought now her fingers
curling around the phone cord as she got lost in her musings. He
had kissed
her in a more than friendly way last night. They had been
friends for so
long it just never registered that they would click as
anything other than
just good friends, but last night that kiss had been a damn
toe curling
experience.
//”You there?”//
\\”Yeah, I’m here.”\\
//”So… my place…
say… 20 minutes?”//
\\”Did you tell Lita about last
night?”\\
//”Huh?”//
\\”Because she thinks there’s
something going on.”\\
//”There is.”//
She could so tell he was grinning
on the other end of the line.
\\”She still has feelings for
you.”\\
She heard him sigh.
//”I know.
The thing is I don’t have feelings for her. I did at one time but
that time has passed.”//
Knock! Knock!
\\”Someone’s at the door, hold on
a minute okay.”\\
//”Okay.”//
Placing the hand set down she
crossed the room to the door, the words “Who
is it?” dropping from her lips as she pulled it open.
“Hi.”
There he stood with a crooked
smile on his face and his mobile phone still
held up to his ear.
Her mouth opened but he gave her
no time to voice a reply and not waiting
for an invite he stepped through the doorway, took her in his
arms and
kicked the door shut.
Thigh met thigh, back met wall,
tongue met neck. God, that MacDonald’s
advert was right she thought. Contentment is a beautiful thing!
Her new
found revelation was short lived though because friendship was
a beautiful
thing too. Her friendship with him and her friendship with Lita
and she
could lose both if she didn’t tread carefully.
Groaning she pushed away from him,
turning her head away as his mouth
followed.
“This can’t happen,” She breathed
putting the width of the couch between
them.
“Why not? Last night we kissed-“
“I know,” Her hand went to her
forehead. “but-“
“But what? I felt something when we kissed and I know you did too.”
“We have a good friendship-“
“Don’t give me that, there’s more
to it then just a good friendship.” He
eyed her closely, his eyes penetrating, “Its Lita isn’t it?”
She crossed her arms under her
breasts and turned away.
“I knew it, what’s she done?
What’s she said?”
“Nothing I didn’t know already.”
She replied softly.
He was by her side again, his
arms turning her to face him. He sighed and he
leaned towards her so that his forehead rested against hers.
“Do you want me?” He whispered.
Yes, she inwardly sighed. But is ‘wanting’ enough?
“Close you eyes,” He continued
his voice still in hushed tones.
“Matt…”
“Shhh… close your eyes…”
She did and felt him move closer,
yet not close enough to touch. She felt
him circle her, felt him brush passed her hair at the back
and felt his
breath flow down her bare arm.
“Don’t push me away Steph… don’t
push me away…”
She opened her mouth to reply,
but her whispered words were lost as his lips meet hers.
