Healed by the Scottish beauty

Chapter Seven - Does he regret it?

Nicola’s P.O.V

Samuel had been in Paris for a week now and to be honest he was in no rush to get home and I don’t blame him, but he was seeming to get a little better, he was still hurting though which was understandable. We had been spending a lot of time together, developed a strong bond in the last week. Though I hadn’t seen him today been busy with classes. We had plans for dinner and drinks later though. I said goodbye to my friends from my classes, heading out to head home.

“Hey beautiful…” I hear someone say.

I looked up, seeing Samuel standing there, a smile on his lips and two coffees in his hands. I giggled, making my way over to him.

“What are you doing here? Not like I mind.” I smiled

“I was bored and thought would come meet you.” He smiled handing me a coffee

“Thank you for this…” I smiled giving him a quick hug

“You are welcome, how was your classes?” he said as we started the walk to my apartment.

“Good thank you, how has your day been?” I asked

“It was OK, got lost in my own head but I am doing OK now.” he smiled

I nodded, giving him a smile back and resting my head on his shoulder for a minute. He slipped his free arm around me and kissed the top of my head. A comfortable silence fell between us as we continued the walk to mine.

“So I am thinking tonight we make a night of it? Dinner, drinks and maybe clubbing?” I suggested “Cause I don’t have any classes or work tomorrow.” I added

“That sounds like a great idea.” He smiled

“Then our night is sorted…” I smiled

It would be a good way to take his minds off things and I am sure the two us will have fun together. Something came to mind as we walked, not sure what he would think about but would safe him some money in the long run.

“Have you decided yet how long you are gonna stay?” I asked

“I am here for at the least the next few weeks.” He said

“Then instead of wasting all that money why don’t you crash at mine?” I suggested

“I don’t wanna be in the way, thanks though.” He said “Plus you only have one bed.” He added

“You wouldn’t be getting in the way at all and well we have shared the same bed before, a couple of times in the last week.” I said

It isn’t like we haven’t shared a bed before, we were only sleeping anyway and maybe a little spooning but nothing more than that. I don’t see an issue with it but that is his choice.

“I will think about it…” He smiled

“OK. Just a suggestion.” I smiled

I was not sure if he would, maybe too much too soon but I am only trying to help a friend out. It never took long for us to get to my apartment. We still had a couple of hours before dinner which meant we had some time to relax before we started getting ready.

****

Samuel had headed to his hotel only to grab his clothes for tonight since he forgot to bring them with him but it gave me a chance to get ready. I was getting a little more done up that what I did that first night we went for dinner and drinks because we are hitting the club after, a few of the girls from College meeting us there. I had decided on my favourite blue satin Skater dress…it was classy enough for dinner and sexy enough for a nightclub. I decided to put my hair into lose curls, always loved my hair that way. I kept my make-up light because I don’t like covering my freckles…I loved my freckles. Eye-liner, mascara and lip gloss was enough, had my silver strappy heels sat out and bag to finish my look off.

“Hey I am back…” I hear him call out

“Bedroom, just getting myself ready.” I called back

I hear him coming through and turned around to greet him. His eyes goes wide as they mapping over me, a small groan falling from his lips.

“Wow! You look amazing!” He finally breathed out looking at me

“Thank you.” I said blushing biting my lip

A silence fell between us, the two of us just staring at each other, his eyes only leaving mine to look over me every now and then. I see his tongue run along his bottom lip and I found myself automatically doing the same. What the heck was happening? These little moments were happening between us every now and then.

“Samuel?” I whispered “Why, why you looking at me like that?” I added

He slowly made his way over to me, stopping in front of me. He placed one hand on my hip, looking at me once again, he seemed nervously suddenly.

“I am sorry I know I shouldn’t be but you just look amazing, stunning and there is a part of me that wants badly to pull you close and kiss you but I know I shouldn’t…I know it is wrong.” He said softly

I swallowed hard, not quite expecting that but the tension was there, I knew that I just never said or done anything about because he is still in a vulnerable state and I don’t wanna take advantage of that.

“Samuel is that what you really want or are you just trying to find comfort somewhere.” I asked softly.

“Maybe a little of both…” he said honestly “Sorry I shouldn’t have said that.” He added pulling away quickly from me.

He sighed, going to walk away and before I knew what I was doing I grabbed him, pulling him back around to face me, pulling him back in close to me. I don’t know if this was the right choice…I don’t know anything in the moment to be honest.

“Then kiss me…” I breathed out

“Nicola I don’t know if that is a good idea, not matter how much I wanna.” He said

“One way to find out isn’t there?” I said licking my lips.

I hear him swallowing hard before he inched into me, his lips brushing mine that was enough to make a small whimper fall from my lips and I closed the space between us. As soon as our lips touched, he groaned into the kiss. His hand slipped around my body, the other falling in my hair and I snaked mine around his neck, pressing a little harder. He held me tightly against him, kissing me in the same way. Oh my… his lips were amazing, he was such a good kisser. It was making me breathless and I think he was the same because by the time we pulled apart he was struggling to breathe too.

“Wow!” he breathed out

I nodded running my thumb over my lips. That really was something else.

“We should…um probably go before we are late for our reservation.” He said

“OK.” I said

He headed out first. I sighed, following after him. I am not sure how the rest of the night was gonna follow. Yes he clearly enjoyed it, I did too but I am wondering if maybe he regrets doing it. I decided not to bring it up, see how the night goes.
