She seemed annoyed by me and my eyes traveled down to her feet to see her right foot taping. And for you sir ?
A Caramel Frappuccino.
It was kind of odd that we were ordering that but I guess we just had a taste for something sweet. You’re jealous. Landon broke me out of daze.
I am not, I state to him and he raised both of his eyebrows at me.
You’re not. He teased me while leaning forward to rest his arms on the table.
I just don’t like her, I shrug, folding my arms.
Because she’s flirting me. He pointed out the obvious.
Do you want her number because I can go get it for you, I’m pretty sure she’s going to be back. I make my way to get up but his hand shot out to stop me.
Okay, I’m sorry. He beckoned another waitress over, who’s name tag read Rebecca, I couldn’t catch everything he said to her. Sorry about that. She apologized before heading in the direction of the kitchen.
What did you say to her ?
That we needed someone new, I hope you don’t mind ? His voice filled with sarcasm and I glared and appreciated him at the same time.
I’m sorry for the delay. A waiter came to our table this time with our drinks, his apron stained with food and what seemed to be coffee. What can I get you ?
I smiled.
A few hours later
Ow ! I shouted for the third time today, he really was punishing me.
That’s what you get. He skated over to me. Making me jealous.
You did it first ! I huffed back, standing back up with the aid of the rail.
You weren’t kidding when you said you couldn’t skate.
No shit. I took my time trying to get comfortable of being on skates. I don’t know why you didn’t believe me.
Here. He holds his hand out for me to take.
And skate around with you while you make me look like a uncoordinated penguin ? No thank you. I stand secured with my beloved rail.
We’ll take it slow, baby steps okay ?
If you make me fall. I narrow my eyes at him. You’ll have more than just blue balls.
He laughed. It’s cute when you try to make threats.
Try me. Now that I think about, he’s never seen me angry before.
He guides me around the rink and I apologies to people that I accidentally bump into in the process.
See its not so bad. He encouraged me before he did the one thing I told him not to do. Now you try. He said, letting go of my hand.
I’m doing it ! I squeal with excitement seeing me keeping my balance but it’s short lived when I turn to face him and I once again met the ground, I swear it loves me. I hear him laughing and I look up to see him stop in front of me. I told you.
Need help ?
No I’ll just stay on the ground, I reply.
Come on. He waved his hand twice indicating for me to take it.
I reach my hand out and he takes it but before he could pull me up I pull with all my strength, taking him down and he falls.
Now it’s my turn to laugh.
Floor meet Landon, Landon meet Floor. I fake introduced them between laughter.
Very funny, He says and I laugh even harder.
He stands up and he skates away from me to the entrance, leaving me he turns around and he gives me a wink.
I try to stand up and I succeed, I quickly try to leave the rolling rink before embarrassing myself I fall twice but I make it out.
Okay I deserved that. He sits down taking off his skates and I push off the wall, and I make it thankfully.
I sit down next to him and he grabs his other shoes putting them on and I quickly take off mine, slipping on mine. So where to next ? I ask him.
He stands up with a sigh, clearly spent for the day.
Well I was thinking going back home, and watching a movie with ‘snacks’. He emphasized, putting air quotation around the snack part and I smile.
Yeah sure, but I get to choose the snacks.
And that leaves me to the movie ? I did it on purpose to see what he does watch when he isn’t busy.
Don’t forget the blanket either. I ran over the guidelines as we headed to a nearby corner store and he seemed to have wanted to take it back at my nagging to not forget.
Okay I think I’ve got it all. I went to the countertop placing down all the snacks I wanted that consisted of : sour patch, skittles, Reese’s cups, gummy worms, two honey buns, and starburst.
And you are going to eat all of that ? He asked, handing the man a 10 dollar bill and the man tried to give him back his change but he told him he can keep it but I took it for him. I don’t need that.
One day you might, instead of overpaying these little bad boys. I held up the two quarters. Could come in handy.
It’s true. The cashier chimed in and I gave him a high five. With a roll of his eyes, he headed back outside.
Thank you. I grinned at the man before leaving to follow after my man. Is someone a little jealous ?
Not at all, he works at a gas station and if you leave me for that then I don’t know what to think.
It’s all about the personality. We settle in. Okay okay on to the house ! I was giddy with excitement.
Such a baby. He mumbled.
But you love this baby. I mocked him and he couldn’t hide his smile. Hey did you take my phone off the aux ?
Yep. He clicked a few things on his phone before the song came on and I couldn’t help but laugh then the most important part of the song came on and surprisingly he sung it. She’s got her own thing, that’s why I love her, Miss Independent won’t you come in spend a little time.. He trailed off, bringing my hand to his lips.
And I couldn’t help but join in even though we didn’t harmonize together.
After about a good four songs later we arrived back and it didn’t take us long to set up everything.
So what are we watching ? I asked, coming back down from upstairs after changing my clothes.
Ted.
You know this movie is Rated R right ? We settled on the couch together.
You know I’m a grown man right ?
Sure you are. I cuddled with the blanket, securing my feet mostly in since they were cold.
You want me to show you ?
Shut up the movie is starting. I tried to act like he wasn’t affecting me.
I think your afraid to test that theory.
Why would you say that ? I ask him and he moved closer to me and I inched back away from me.
Why are you moving ?
I’m not. He did it again and to prove I’m not, I stand glued to the spot and he wrapped his arm around me before pulling me closer. You’re not paying attention. I pointed to the flat screen.
Moving forward to reach the snacks on the table I settled for the skittles. Want some ? I rattled the bag.
I’m good.
We were barely halfway through the movie when I felt him kiss the side of my forehead, I didn’t think much of it while popping another stack of skittles into my mouth.
But he didn’t stop, he continued leaving innocent kisses and I looked at him, chewing thoughtfully. What are you doing ? I asked my voice sounding hoarse and I didn’t know if it was because of him or because I didn’t have water. Reaching for the remote, he paused the movie. Hey !
Shut up. He didn’t give me time to reply, sealing my lips with his. I couldn’t breathe and I was clutching on to anything that would make me feel stable in this moment and right now it was my candy.
His hand came around me, positioning me to lay down and he was on me again before I could blink. He kissed me like he was starved and he was a man on a mission tonight. I gave in to him because I craved his touch, I had been since yesterday.
He broke away from the kiss first leaving my lips to feel swollen as he traveled down. He was trying to do this here ?!
Landon. My chest was heaving up and down trying to bring oxygen into them. His left hand skimmed my side before he bunched my shirt up in his hand, moving it up. The movie.. I tried to mumble out but his lips silenced me.
Fuck the movie.
Well okay then..
B-But. I still tried to find words but he was making it impossible, I didn’t really want him to stop but he pulled away from me, sitting up.
Alright back to the movie. He grabbed the remote, pressing play like nothing happened. I sat up, fixing my shirt before glaring at him.
