Scarlett's Secrets (Complete)

Chapter Fifteen - Date Night (Part 2)

Caleb

I can’t believe how lucky I am getting to spend time with Scarlett, especially after thinking she didn’t want to be around me after the night she ran off. The way she made me feel was strange, especially this quickly.  I am happy we arranged this dinner or who knows when I would see her next in my work for coffee. 

“How much rice and curry would you like?” Scarlett asked.

“Half and half please, I will pour us another drink.” I smiled at Scarlett, “That’s us onto the second bottle of wine, and we haven’t even started eating yet,” I added. 

 I sat down on the couch next to where Scarlett had placed my dinner. 

“Cheers,” Scarlet said, “Here’s to a good night,” She added smirking.

“Cheers, Scarlett,” I replied as we clinked glasses.

“Dig in,” She smiled. 

I nodded, taking a forkful and groaning at the taste of it. It was so good. It has been a long time since someone has cooked me anything. It is not something I have ever really had, someone making me home-cooked meals. 

“This is so good,” I said. 

“What can I say, I am a woman of many talents,” She said. 

“Hmm, I am sure you are,” I said. 

She giggled, a hint of a sexy smile on her lips before she turned away and got back to eating her dinner. I did the same, but I was getting distracting with her being close to me, the small moans escaping from her lips as she ate were not helping. 

“I think this is possibly the best curry I have made in a long time,” Scarlett said, “Must be because I knew I needed to impress you,” She said shyly. 

“Impress me, Scarlett? You don’t need to do anything to impress me,” I say, smiling widely at her, “You have impressed me from the moment you walked into the coffee shop, just you being yourself was good enough,” I added, my smile turning into a smirk. 

“You are pretty impressive yourself, Caleb,” She said, that sexy little smile creeping on her lips again. 

That sexy smile does so many things to my body, if only we weren’t in the middle of eating dinner or if we had known each other longer or if this wasn’t our first date as such. The things I would do to her! 

Behave, Caleb!

I tell myself over and over. I need to stop thinking about what I could do this beautiful woman. 

“More wine?” Scarlett asked, standing up.

“Yes, please.” I smiled; that was the distraction I needed. 

As soon as she was out of view and earshot, I let out a long breath that I was holding in. I took a moment to compose myself. I never wanted to push or seem like I was after only one thing because I wasn’t. It was just what she did to me. I couldn’t help myself. 

I heard her coming back through and sat back up straight and acted like I have been eating my dinner this whole time and not fantasising about her. 

“Here you go, baby boy,” She smiled, handing me another glass of wine. 

“Thank you,” I said, reaching in to push the hair away from her face. 

The look in her eyes was so intense. It was like they were drawing me in. 

“You are so beautiful,” I told her before placing a soft kiss on her lips. 

“Thank you,” She said after our kiss, “Finish your dinner Mr because we still have dessert to get,” Scarlett added giggling. 

“Oh, I will definitely be having dessert tonight.” I smiled at her taking a big fork full of my curry. 

She let out a loud laugh and shaking her head before getting back to her dinner. I could see her watching me from the corner of my eyes, smiling as she did. I acted like I never knew she was doing it and finished off my dinner. I rested back on the sofa, turning to face her, and she quickly turned away. 

“You got busted, baby girl,” I laughed. 

“I don’t know what you mean,” She said, sticking her tongue out at me. 

“I will bite that,” I chuckled. 

“You wish you could do that, but I’m too fast for you, Caleb,” Scarlett laughed, sticking her tongue back out then quickly pulling it back in. 

“Right you tease, I’m going to take away these plates and see what there is for dessert,” I said.

I stood up and took the plates to the kitchen and went to the fridge to have a look about and see what there was for an after-dinner treat.

“You find anything you like?” Scarlett whispered behind me.

“Holy s**t Scarlett, you gave me such a fright.” I turned to look at her with a grin on my face.

“Sorry,” She said, all while laughing. 

I reached for her, pulling her close to me. I placed my hand on her hip. 

“You look it,” I said. 

She shrugged and smirked. I shook my head and moved in to place a gentle kiss to her lips. She moaned softly, slipping her arms around my neck as she kissed me back. I pulled away first, Scarlett huffing and pouting at me. I guess she was not ready for me to pull away. 

“I’m ready for some of this trifle you have in here,” I said smiling and going back into the fridge.

How I wish we could skip dessert and wine and move upstairs and fall into bed, but I do not want to rush this. This is the closest I have felt to someone in a long time, and I’m not going to ruin it before it even starts.

“Hmm ok, I’ll top up our glasses while you get the dessert out.” She said.

“Sure thing baby girl, I’ll bring it through to you.” I gave her a peck on the cheek then slapped her ass. 

“Cheeky,” She giggled, heading through to the living room with the wine.

I chuckled, getting us both some dessert and following her through. I stopped on my tracks for a moment, watching her. I honestly have never seen anyone as beautiful. I was still wondering why she would be interested in someone like me because she could get any man that she wants. 

“You are staring,” She said, turning to look over her shoulder at me. 

“I am not,” I said, trying to keep a straight face. 

She raised her brow at me and shook her head. I gave her my dorkiest smile and shrugged before going over to join her. 

“Ok maybe I was staring, it is allowed when I see someone so beautiful,” I smiled, “Now, here is your dessert madam.” I laughed, handing her a bowl of trifle.

“Why thank you.” She giggled before taking a bite. 

“You have missed a bit. I will get it for you.” I said before leaning in the wipe some cream off her lip slowly with my thumb. 

“Maybe I like it there,” Scarlett smirked before biting her bottom lip.

“You are a tease baby,” I said, taking a bite of my own. 

“I don’t know what you mean,” She said, trying to play innocent. 

“Do not play innocent with me, Miss Scarlett, you have been teasing me from the moment we met,” I said, turning to her. 

She reached in, and I thought she was going to kiss me, but instead, she brushed my lips with hers before moving them to my ear. 

“You have seen nothing yet, Caleb,” She said, my name rolling off her tongue seductively, “I could drive you wild in ways you never dreamt of,” She added. 

I went to respond, but no words came out, only a deep moan. She pulled away, giggling and got back to her trifle as nothing happened. 

I continued eating my trifle and tried to put my mind somewhere else because all I can think about right now is Scarlett and what is underneath the pretty, lacey, blue top and the wet look leggings she has on. Her legs look so long and toned. She is just sitting there eating her trifle with no idea what is running through my head. 

“What are you thinking about?” She asked, looking over at me.

“What?” I replied, “Nothing really,” I added, giving her a little smile.

“You are quiet,” She said.

“Ok, I am just thinking about how lucky I am to be sat here with you, enjoying good food and wine,” I said, leaning in, pressing a soft kiss on the lips, “I must be the luckiest man alive right now,” I added, with a smile. 

I watch her blush and look away from me shyly. I reached in, placing my finger on her chin and turning her back to face me. She flashed that beautiful smile at me. The trifle was soon the last thing on my mind. I pressed my lips back to hers, Scarlett moaning as she kissed me back in the same way. I was addicted to Scarlett’s lips. I couldn’t get enough of them, enough of her.
