and
she tilted her head to smile at him. He pegged her drink right on, even better
than she could have. “How’d you know I’d like it?”
“I didn’t. You didn’t strike me as
a coffee girl or even a tea girl. I thought I’d go with something different.
Just a lucky guess.” He smiled and shrugged. Gwen looked up at a clock hanging
on the far wall.
“As much as I’m enjoying this, I do
have to get going.” She pushed back her chair again and stood to leave. Cole
stood as well.
“Do you have far to go?” He asked
as they walked towards the door they entered through. Cole tossed his empty cup
but Gwen kept her still nearly full one.
“Not really.” She turned and looked
at him. His eyes flicked from one of her eyes to the other as he took a step
closer to her. His hands gripped her hips gently. His eyes never leaving hers
as he slowly lowered his head to tenderly press his lips to hers before
stepping back again.
“I had to do that. Your lips drive
me crazy.” Cole let his hands slip off of her hips, stepping back another step.
Gwen just stood there staring at him. The cup in her hand fell to the ground,
pouring out everywhere. It was the only movement she made for a moment before
her eyes closed tightly shut.
“Well, uh, thanks for the coffee.”
Gwen stuttered before jumping into a cab that someone was just exiting. It
quickly pulled away. Cole watched in confusion as it disappeared a few blocks
away.
Chapter 4
Gwen
tried to calm herself for a moment before slipping out her phone of her bag.
She dialed up her girlfriend and best friend, McKayla Harrison.
“Hello?”
McKayla’s voice carried through the phone.
“Mick,
you home?” Gwen questioned. She had already given the cab driver her address so
she hoped McKayla was home. She just had to get away from Cole. He was entirely
too confusing for her. He made her feel things that she didn’t expect. Then he
had kissed her and it took everything in her to not kiss him again. She never
had feelings like this for a man. She didn't think she was even capable of
having feelings for a man. “Can I come over?”
“Baby,
what’s going on? Yes, come over.” McKayla, always the best friend Gwen could
ever imagine always knew what she needed without Gwen even having to ask. They
had been friends for years and becoming more than friends had just sort of
happened. McKayla had been a lesbian for as long as she could remember but Gwen
hadn’t ever been in a serious relationship before and what she had with McKayla
just seemed right.
The
cab finally made its way through traffic to McKayla’s tiny apartment. Gwen paid
and quickly made her way up the stairs.
“Mick,
I’m here.” Gwen shut the door behind her and put her clutch on the small table
by the door.
“Baby,
how are you?” McKayla walked around the corner from the kitchen. She was a very
high paid stripper in an exclusive club called Queen of Hearts so she kept her
body tight. She dieted constantly and worked out every single day. Today over
her small perky breasts, she had a zip up front sports bra. A pair of low
riding tight black yoga capris showed off her flat stomach that barely had the
outline of a 6 pack. She had her long blonde hair pulled back into a high
ponytail. McKayla was a size 4 while Gwen was curvier, fitting into a size
10. “I just got back from working out.”
“Mick…
I need a shower” Gwen started to walk around McKayla, but McKayla stepped in
front of her, stopping her. McKayla stepped close pressing her body flush
against Gwen’s, pulling her hips close.
“Need
some help relaxing?” McKayla’s dark blue eyes searched Gwen’s. Seeing what she
needed in their depths, she smashed her lips to Gwen’s.
Gwen’s hands slid up the soft skin of McKayla’s back, until one
hand was clutching the back of her neck, the other pressed to her lower back,
pulling her closer. Gwen slipped her tongue between McKayla's plush lips as
McKayla
