Surviving Valentine (8 page)

I just got up and walked towards the bathroom to splash my face with some water.  As I came out Randy was there and she just kissed me.  Out of fucking nowhere! She tasted like whiskey and cherries.  Fuck this. I grabbed her arms and pulled her off me. “What the hell?” I growled. She just looked at me like she just gave me a winning lotto ticket. “Just showing you want you want. You’ll call me.” then she sauntered off, swaying her hips triumphantly. I stayed there for a minute against the wall and just closed my eyes. Just breathing in and out, in and out.

I decided it was time to go back to my table when I saw a pair of emerald eyes meet mine before heading out the front door. FUCK!  Hopefully she didn’t see any of that shit with Randy.  Ross was just sitting there where I left him. “Hey man you missed Candace and Scarlet, they were having drinks here too.” Well shit. She probably didn’t miss Randy’s little lap show and the kiss. Damn it. Ross continued to speak. “Candace was hot as hell, but Scarlet seemed a little off, I wonder what her deal was.” Damn it. “Maybe it was because she and I kissed today and she saw Randy sitting on my lap and the fucking kissing assault she gave me coming out the bathroom. Fuck man she is going to think I am with Randy while trying to get with her.” He laughs at me. Good old Ross, I’m screwed and he laughs. “Fuck man.” He laughs even harder. “Ass” I muttered.

Chapter 11

Scarlet

Of course he went out with another woman. He is so fucking hot, with his black hair and beach eyes. What the hell was I thinking about considering trying to take it to more physical stuff? We became friends real quick, and with todays kiss. I thought things were going really smoothly. Then I see some big fake tits chick crawl in his lap! He didn’t even do anything to get her off!  Then they were kissing by the bathrooms, ugh how sick. “You know babe, your speaking out loud right?” Candace pointed out to me as we drove home together… Oops.  “Sorry I mean we had such a great day today! Had a really wonderful kiss goodnight then some chick is all over him at the bar. I can’t help it.”

“Sorry babe, I thought he was a good one too. Fuck him, you are a gorgeous bitch. You don’t need his sexy ass.” I groaned. “He does have a sexy ass.”  She laughed and I agreed. “Yea he does.” We spent the rest of the ride home talking about his impressive rear. Once we got to my house I headed inside, and went to bed.  I really tried not to dream about Darien, but my mind just really wouldn’t listen.

Roxy woke me up, thankfully not by licking me this time. I went through my morning routine on auto drive. I ended up at work, not remembering the ride over. I mean was I really this messed up over him? It hadn’t been that long, I knew I like him but come on. I needed to go out tonight and get my mind off Darien. I sent a quick text out to Candace before class started. A few people showed up early so I figured we would start with some stretching this morning. I loved stretching and doing yoga, I was starting to feel good already. Ross strolled in again today; he has been so helpful these past couple days of class. “Hey Scarlet, how’s it hanging?” I laughed; he had a way of doing that. “To the left today.” It was his turn to chuckle.  Everyone got geared up and was ready to go.

Class went smoothly and an hour later everyone was heading out. I had another class in about an hour. I felt like I needed to go a few rounds with the punching bag, I had enough time.  I wrapped my hands with tape and started round one with the bag. I loved this. I wasn’t able to actually fight with many people around here so this was my next choice.  My fist were flying at full speed, my kicks were perfect! I was at it for about 30 minutes when the bell on the door rang. Darien walked in. Shit. I was going to try avoiding him. He sent me a few texts, of course which I said nothing back. I just didn’t quite know what to say. Once I thought about it even though we kissed, he wasn’t mine.  “Hello” I said, very professionally. “Hey Scarlet, you’re a really good fighter. I just saw the last piece of it, but very precise.” Starting off with flattery won’t win me over, punk. “Oh, Thanks, I love what I do.” I walked over and grabbed some water and a towel. He came closer. “So I came here because I wanted to talk to you.” I kind of wanted to talk to him, but kind of not. OH LIGHTBULB!!

“Ok, I will talk with you, if you spar with me. You’re the only person I have met so far that is equal.” He grinned.  “Sure, I need some practice anyway.”  Perfect, I can get things off my chest and kick his ass a bit.  We face each other, both of us ready for an attack. “Why are you avoiding me Scarlet?” He starts, and then rushes over with a right, left, right jab. Which I deflected.  “I needed time to think about what to say.” I went with a low kick trying to throw off his center of gravity, he jumped and I missed. “So I am guessing you saw me last night. Shit I knew it; it wasn’t what it looked like.” Both of us were kicking and throwing punches but none of them landing. I was starting to feel better already. “So you kiss me then have some fake tits blonde giving you a lap dance and just happened to fall on her mouth?” I juked and faked a hit to the right but hit him with my left in the shoulder. HIT! Finally!

He rubbed his shoulder then came at me again. “That isn’t what happened. Randy was one of the girls who normally I would play around with while on leave, but she sat on me and I told her it wasn’t going to happen and left for the bathroom. She assaulted me once I came out and I pulled her back immediately. You got to believe me. I really like you and I’m not a bed jumper.”

We went back and forth for a few minutes without saying anything just trying to find a weak spot in our defenses.  Finally he got my legs while I was shifting positions and I went down to the mat. He pinned me real quick. “Scarlet, you got to believe me; I would never to do that to you.” Sigh I did believe him. Maybe it was a mistake. I don’t know, but I did. “I believe you.” I snaked my leg around his and flipped him under me, changing up who was pinning who. He looked impressed. “So all is forgiven?”  Not the puppy eyes!!! Stupid lethal puppy eyes.  “Yes, all is forgiven.” He grinned so cheesy. “Thank god, I have wanted to do this all day.”  He pulled me  down and kissed me. Mmm despite thinking he was the devil earlier I would have kissed his sexy lips in a heartbeat. He heard my moan and growled. So masculine, so.. just so yummy! My body hot already, intensified. My blood felt like lava, and my heart was going like a humming birds. He tasted like spice, man, and a little salt but damn was it delicious. My hips moved on their own trying to find a little friction to help with the pressure building in my core.  His hands left me and went to my hips pressing them into his more. GOD! He was hard. We were moving together, against another while exploring each other with our mouths. I could tell I was getting close. That glorious cliff I wanted to throw myself off of was just there, I could see it. I ground myself more on him, not leaving a centimeter between us. I gasped. He growled again “Fuck Scarlet, you are so fucking good, I want to bury myself inside you on this floor. Make you scream as you clench that sweet pussy around my dick. I bet you taste sweet as honey, baby. I can’t wait to taste you.” Oh god, my insides clenched at the sounds of his words. I loved a man who did dirty talk. It was so hot hearing what he wanted and how. We were devouring each other. I haven’t ever done anything sexual at work but I was 5 seconds from changing that.

  A cough broke through my lust. We stopped abruptly and looked towards the noise. Ross. “As much as I love a good show, I don’t think you guys would want the next class to see your exhibition.” He chuckled. We snapped away from each other so fast. Thankfully as people filled into the room we were a pretty good distance away from each other. My face was probably flushed; my lips were that amazing kissed swollen. I tried smoothing myself out more. I looked over at Darien and I laughed. His back was turned towards me, pretending to read the posters on the wall. I knew he just didn’t want people to see his very manly bulge in his jeans. Poor guys, you can always see their lust. I giggled and decided I might as well use him.

“Good morning class! Hope you guys had an awesome week, today we are going to work on those upward thrusts, and some combo moves.”  The guys went to put on their helmets and gear. I walked over to Darien. “Go put on your gear soldier. You’re going to be my dummy today.” I winked at him and smacked his butt as he walked away; he laughed then went to put everything on.  We practiced thrusting our heels into our attackers nose, then the classic combo   S.I.N.G.  Solarplex. Instep. Nose. Groin.  Darien was the perfect dummy for this. I got to beat him up and he couldn’t do anything back HA!

We all went out for our weekly drinks at Parkers afterwards.  Candace and Ross could not keep their hands off each other. It was kind of cute. “So what do you think guys? Scarlet and I were thing about going dancing tonight. You guys should come with us. You know protect us poor defenseless females.” Candace pouted as she spoke; she was really trying to lay in on thick with them. Ross yelled “Hell yeah babe, any excuse for you to rub that sexy ass against me I am down!” she wiggled against him, I guess giving him a preview. I needed to let go, and just let the rhythm take me. Darien bumped his shoulder into mine. “I’m down for that.” He winked. I take it he wants a little ass wiggle too. I winked back.  He smiled, he was really cute. I honestly do believe him about that girl. I had watched a lot of girls eye him tonight and he never once showed any interest. And they were waiting like vultures for me to go to the bathroom or anything to swoop in and take him. We made plans to go out, but us girls wanted to go get changed into something nicer. Candace and I decided to go to my house and get dressed while the boys did whatever, and then we would meet up at Fireflies. The fun dance spot in town. 

Once we got inside, I took care of everything with Roxy and we headed to my closet. It was a chilly night so I would definitely need a jacket. “OK, what should we wear tonight? Something sexy for sure.” Candace said while staring at my closet. She pulled out a blue dress. “How about this for you? You look hot in it?” she said. “Nah, too chic. I want something a little more for dancing you know? I can’t move in that as much.” She pondered what I said she pulled out a burgundy quarter sleeve dress. The hem came just above my knee. Perfect, it was a nice cotton dress so I would be about to dance and breathe. “Perfect! Now it’s your turn.” I ran over to the closet and picked out something nice for her, we had a few clothes that could fit each other at my house, thankfully. She liked the yellow dress I picked and we finished getting ready and headed out to the lounge.  We walked into Fireflies, and saw the music was in full swing, people were getting their grooves on, and it was awesome. We found a little table by the bar and set our jackets down. The bartender Tony was a good friend of Candace’s, so we walked over and he hooked us up with some drinks. She held her shot out, “Love you, bitch!” she yelled. We clinked glasses and downed that calming liquid. I could feel my body begging to be on the dance floor. “Come on, let’s dance!” I yelled, I grabbed her hand and led her to the floor.

The bass of the music was thumping in my veins. I loved to dance, just letting your body take over. And that’s exactly what I did. I closed my eyes, lifted my hands to the ceiling and started to move. Rolling my hips, my head moving with the rhythm.  Hands folded around mine above my head. I knew who exactly it was, Darien. No other person could make my toes curl with just a touch, or smelled as good as him. His breath was at my neck, “You move like a goddess.” He whispered into me. Keeping my rhythm and my eyes closed I kept dancing with him. Just letting our bodies move as one. I leaned my body into his and snaked my hips from side to side against his hard body. His hands ran down my arms, and sides, and the curves of my waist to grab those hips, and bring them closer. He growled at the contact. I felt the hardness in his jeans, Goosebumps covered my body. He lightly moved his lips up my neck towards my ear. “Damn Scarlet, what are you doing to me?”

I bit my lip and turned around. I opened my eyes and damn, he was so beautiful. I ran my hand through his thick black hair and down to graze his stubbled jaw. His eyes grew with hunger. I could see he was battling himself, against what, I couldn’t tell. I couldn’t think of anything else but him. I wanted to devour him, consume him, to have him. His grip on my hips tightened. He leaned in so close I could feel his breath on my lips. “What do you want Scarlet?”  What did I want? I wanted him, I needed to have him. “I want you, Darien.” He closed the distance between us, this kiss was unbelievable. So much need, passion. I needed more! “Darien” I gasped. His hands tightened. “I know what you need baby, come with me.” He took my hand and led me towards the back hall way. I had never been back here before; it just looked like a bunch of offices. He opened one. Thankfully there was no one in there, I couldn’t wait any longer, and I needed something, anything from him.

He closed the door after we walked in and locked it. 2 seconds barely passed before we were clawing for each other. “Fuck Scarlet, you are so fucking beautiful.” He said in between kisses. He walked us back until we hit a desk. He wrapped his hands around my thighs and set me on top the desk and moved between my legs.  His hands felt so delicious, slowly taking time to move the hem of my dress up, and up. Finally settling his hands on my bare hips. Our kisses grew frantic, his mouth moved to my neck. My hands came up his back to his head. I needed to grip something. He let out a rough breath and continued to move his mouth and tongue around my neck, and collar bone. His hands moved from my hips up to touch just below my breasts. I arched my chest in anticipation. My nipples pebbled, and ached, waiting for his touch. He slightly bit where my neck and shoulders meet and brought his hands to where I wanted them now. His hands grasped my breast, kneading them. It felt so good. My body was winding up so tight I needed some release. His thumbs rubbed over my nipples, and tweaked them, I shuddered a moan. “God Darien, that feels so good, but I need… I need.”
