Amaya’s P.O.V
I was waiting at the coffee shop for Joe, he was running late and I was beginning to think he had changed his mind. Maybe he had freaked out, realised he shouldn’t be doing this. I stood from my seat, about to leave when he came rushing in the door.
“I am sorry, I got held up. Were you about to leave?” he said
“Yes because I thought you weren’t coming.” I shrugged
I never wanted it to seem like I was too bothered if she showed or not.
“If I was not coming I would have text you.” He said
“OK.” I said going to sit back down but he never joined me instead he stood there, looking at me “Are you not staying?” I added
“Do you drink?” he asked and I nodded “You wanna go for a drink instead? I don’t mean anything wild, just a beer or something, could be doing with one after today?” He added
I could go a drink, not had one in a while.
“Yes sure a beer sounds good as long as there is a side order of chilli cheese fries with it.” I smirked
Joe laughed and agreed to my condition. I paid for my coffee that I had while I waited for him and we headed out. I had walked here, it was a nice night so I never had to worry about drinking and driving, I wouldn’t do that anyway.
“Where can we go? It is Friday most of the students on campus will be out partying.” I said
“Good point. We can go back to mine, that way no one will see us.” He suggested
“Hmm I don’t know about that, I barely know you.” I said teasingly
“Well you can take this as an opportunity to get to know me matter, you can tell a lot about a man by seeing the way he lives.” He smirked
“If you say…any excuse to get me alone.” I said smirking
“Get your ass into my car and stop trying to be a tease, it is unfair.” He laughed opening the door
“Yes Sir…” I said smugly climbing in
“Behave yourself Miss Amaya.” He laughed closing the door
I giggled to myself, I had fun teasing him. He ran around, climbing into the driver’s seat and we headed back to his place. It was not too far away and soon enough we were pulling up outside his apartment building. It must be handy for him, his place this close to campus.
“Come on…” he said getting out of the car and I followed
Joe placed his hand on the small of my back, leading me into his apartment. I thought I would be nervous, being alone with him and all but I was not, I was calm. I walked in and as soon as I did you could tell a guy lived here, with the way it was decorated, not too many personal effects around and guy stuff lying around. It was a nice please though, very tidy too.
“Nice place.” I smiled
“Thank you, it is home.” He smiled “Well for now anyway.” He added
“For now? You going somewhere?” I asked curious
“Maybe…see how it goes.” He shrugged
I smiled and we headed further inside, Joe grabbing us both a beer from his fridge before coming back through to join me in the living room, telling me to make myself comfortable which I did, sitting on his sofa, Joe soon joining me.
“Curious do you make a habit of bringing your students back to yours for a drink?” I asked turning to him
“What? No! What do you think I am?” He said sounding a little panicked
I was only messing with him, maybe I should have but I couldn’t help myself and a part me also wanted to know if this is a common thing for him, it could be for all I know.
“I was messing with you, calm down.” I said
“Oh…Ok but no in all honesty no I do not make a habit of it, you are the first even though I know I shouldn’t be doing this, breaking so many rules you only being here having a drink.” He said
“Do you not like breaking rules Joe?” I smirked
“It depends on the rules I am breaking.” He said smirking back
“If we are gonna break rules we may as well having fun doing it.” I said in my most innocent tone of voice taking a sip of my beer
I hear him gulp next to me, fidgeting a little next to me before clearing his throat and taking a drink of his beer. I smirked behind the neck of my bottle. I decided I would leave what I said at that and change the subject.
“You got any show coming up?” I asked
“Have one in a couple of weeks actually, one of the local bars in town. You should come along.” He smiled
“I am up for that, would like to see you perform.” I smiled
“Maybe you should come up on stage and do a song with me?” He asked hopeful
“Yes…no that is not going to happen.” I laughed
“I will get you on stage by the end of the year…” he said confidently
“Yeah, yeah good luck with that.” I said sarcastically
“Challenge accepted.” He said winking
Yes there was no chance he would get me up on stage, I do not do crowds, not one bit.
****
“I thought we were only going to have one beer?” I giggled
“That was the plan but you are a bad influence on me.” He chuckled
One beer had turned to three which then turned to a bottle of white wine. I think we were both a little giddy, not overly drunk though. We had just drank more than we planned. We had got to chatting, losing track of time and how much we were drinking. I had been enjoying it though, getting to know him, letting him getting to know me better.
“You hungry? I can make us something to eat.” He asked
“I could eat actually, not had anything such lunch.” I said
“Come on, we will go see what I can whip us up.” He smiled
Joe got to his feet, reaching his hand out for me to take and I took it Joe pulling me up, a little quicker that what he meant I think because I slammed into his chest…his hard muscular chest and his arms automatically went around my body. A small, throaty moan escaped from deep in my throat, being this close to him getting to me. I was not the only one it was getting too, his breathing suddenly became more irregular. I looked up at him, my eyes falling on his lips. I wanted badly to kiss him but I never wanted to be the one to make the first move, he has more at risk than me.
“Food, we should go and um…get food.” He said pulling away, going towards the kitchen
I sighed following after him. I sort of hoped he would have got the hint and kissed me, clearly not or he never wanted too.
“How does a club sandwich sound?” He smiled
“Sounds good…” I said sitting down sighing
“Amaya are you OK?” He asked looking at me
“Yes I am fine…” I said smiling
“OK.” He said, he never seemed to believe me though
He went about making us some food and I watched him. He really was gorgeous, I could barely handle it. I am really hoping this night ends with a kiss.
