Insatiable* - Part Two

We sat on a bench carved of stone, a fountain with cherubs spitting water behind us.  His hand was rested on my leg lazily.

The silence was overwhelming and I began to get a bit impatient.

“Lance…”

He looked up from the ground and had a small amused look on his face.

“I really don’t know how to say all this to you, but if I don’t, you’ll never forgive me for what I did and you’ll never understand why,” he took a deep gulp, his Adam’s apple bouncing like a ball in his throat.

“Okay…” I studied his face carefully.

“I was scared, I’ve been scared because of how I’ve felt for you the past two months.  When you told me that, I just didn’t know what to do.  So like the male jack-ass I am, I retorted to what you said in the only way I knew how.  To act opposite of how I felt for you.  I know I acted like an idiot, I’m sorry…”

“So what are you saying?  That you tried to make me jealous because you knew I wanted you and you really wanted me back?”  Yeah that made sense.  Men.

“I don’t really have a good explanation as to WHY I did it Bella.  It was one of those things where you hit yourself in the head forever because you don’t know what made you do it, but you did.”

“Wasn’t loving you enough…?” I whispered.

He smiled slightly at me, “you loving me is more than you could ever know.  I can’t get enough of you.”

“Funny way of showing it Bass,” I dryly replied.

He took my face in his hands and suddenly, his lips met mine.

They were soft like satin and gentle as they kissed me gently.

I looked back at him, my eyes wide with anticipation as he looked at me.

“It’s because I love you too,” his voice was barely audible.

His hand found the side of my face and he kissed me again, this time his tongue delving into my mouth and dancing with mine.  My hand found his chest and rubbed in softly.

I smiled into his lips as we kissed for a few more moments.

“I want to take you home,” his mouth found my ear, chills suddenly stinging my whole body.

“But what about…”

“I want you all to myself, can I help it, I’m greedy,” he smiled.

I just grinned back at him.

“Lance, are you sure?” my eyes darted back and forth.

“I’m positive, I want to show you how sorry I am and how much I love you,” he pulled me into his arms and held me tightly.

“Okay, let me go tell Mich I’m leaving, I’ll meet you at the car.”

He nodded.

I ran down to where Michele was taking her break, sipping on some water and sitting on JC’s lap.

I leaned down and whispered in her ear “I’m going home with Lance, I’ll explain later…”

Of course JC was listening in and they both shot a look at me, their eyes wide open, mouths gaping.

“Love you guys,” I kissed both of their cheeks and left.
