His Touch

Chapter 6

" Why are you here ? " I ask Daniel , curiosity filling my mind . " I just followed you from the door ... " he started vaguely as he pointed at the door . " Stop it . Just no ... I meant why are you here ? Like in Italy ? Here ? " I plop down onto a bar stool at the kitchen island . I take off my heels and drop them to the floor , it made a thud sound . " Oh... I , I don't know . " He stutters , averting his gaze from me to the floor . I always knew he lied when he averted his eyes from me , it’s like he wants me to know I’m lying . " Daniel . " I mutter hopelessly . " Autumn ? " he somewhat glares at me . " Can I make you something to drink ? Coffee ? Tea ? Irish coffee ? " I smirk slightly as his eyes lit up at the suggestion . " I take that as a yes . " I hop off of the bar stool . I walk around the island towards the kettle to make some coffee . I feel Daniel's eyes on me as I walk , it makes me smile sweetly and I take small glances at him as I make coffee . Is it just me or is there tension here ?

I walk over to the cupboard where Amelia ' hides ' the alcohol . Seeing she hid the whiskey at the back on the top shelf I groan in annoyance . " Everything okay ? " Daniel asks , trying to see what I'm looking at . " Yes everything is fine . " I grumble . I climb onto the cupboards " Autumn , what the hell are you doing ? " " Getting the damn whiskey Amelia ' hides ' from me ! " I say , I almost slip and fall back as a hand supports my back over the material , " Be careful . " he chuckles . " Thanks . " I turn to smile at him just to catch him looking at my ass . I ignore that because he's being such a boy right now . " Got it ? " He asks , his hunky voice making me smile " Almost . " I say as I stretch , reaching for the whiskey bottle at the back . My fingers wraps around the bottle " I got it ! " I say excitedly . I hand the bottle to Daniel and jump off of the counter tops .

" There you go . " I sit a fresh cup of Irish coffee in front of Daniel . I grab my own " Want to go watch a movie or something ? " I ask " Sure . " I stand up , walking out of the kitchen " Wait , " I come to a halt , turning to look at Daniel , I smile and walk past him grabbing the bottle of whiskey off of the counter , rising it like a champagne class " I want this too , it's been a long day . " I say as I walk back out . Daniel chuckles at my behaviour . I smile innocently at him " Come on . " I say as I walk towards the screening room , where we have a 292 inch tv with comfortable leather couches and a linen cupboard with blankets . " Nice screening room . " Daniel says as we enter , " Thank you " I say , putting the coffee and whiskey bottle onto the coffee table next to the couch . I walk over to the linen cupboard " You can take a seat . Do you want a blanket ? " " Sure , it is getting cold . " I grab two blankets and put one down for him on the couch next to him . I take a seat on the other couch and put on the tv . " What do you want to watch ? " I ask . " Let's see what's on " " Okay " I say sipping my drink as I switch through the channels .

" There's literally nothing on ! " I start complaining about ten minutes later . " Box Office ? " He suggests . I shrug , opening box office and scroll through the movies . We finally decided on playing a drinking game , we played each trailer and which ever one we didn't like , we had to take a shot . We were sitting on the floor , wrapped in our blankets at the marble coffee table . " Oh this one is terrible ! " He says about the chick flick , but I could agree because that was awful acting " Shot ? " I look at him and we both took shots . By the fifteenth shot , we forgot about the trailers . " I'm hungry ! " " Want to order pizza ? " " What's the time ? " I ask , looking down at my watch . It's only nine pm , they're still open ! I jump up , running to the telephone . I dialled my favourite pizza place around ' Dave's Pizza ' I ordered three pizzas and flopped down on the couch . " I hope you're not picky ! " I laugh " You already ordered ? " He looks confused " Yes I did , slow poke . " " I need to pee . " I slurred as I turned , almost falling over my own feet and scurried to the bathroom . I was sitting there a few minutes when I heard Daniel's voice at the door . " Are you alright ? " He asks , knocking lightly on the door . " I'm fine . " I say , giggling . I try to put on my jeans again , but the lack of comfort left me unmotivated . I look down , pulling my jeans over my ass but I didn't button up . I walked out looking for Daniel " I'm going to put on sweatpants . " " Okey " he laughs as he stood against the wall , leaning against it . " There's an extra room on the left if you need a place to crash . " I say " Thanks " he smiles sweetly . My stomach turns and my cheeks heat up as I look at his smile . I smile " Be right back . " I mutter as I descend the stairs to my room and put on sweat pants. I look for my comfiest but prettiest one , just because I'm a little drunk and Daniel is here . I put on a over sized t-shirt too . I pick my dirty clothes up from the floor and walk into my bathroom , throwing my clothes into the laundry basket . As I walk out , I give myself a glance in the mirror . I fix my hair and head back downstairs . Just as I exit my room , Daniel calls me " Do you have cash on you ? The pizza is here ! " " Coming ! " I yell . I scurry down the stairs , almost falling and I rush towards my purse as if the delivery man is about to take away the pizza again . I grab my money and hand him the cash " Thanks " I smile " Anytime " he says and disappears into the night . I close the door and lock it , Amelia has f*****g keys and she better use them if she stays out this late .
