I wanted to do at your age, it’s understandable, that’s actually why my dad insisted I go an work for his friend’ he shrugged as he finished his sentence, I could hear his genuineness in his voice, I smiled at him then he returned my smile with his, I nodded at him. ‘You should probably start out the same way I did, apply for some secretary jobs and work your way up into something you want to do once you’ve figured it out’ he suggested, I nodded ‘that would probably be a wise thing to do, I might start applying in about two weeks, give myself a bit of a break, I think I’ve earned it’ smiling up at him we were interrupted by a member of staff, ‘Sorry to interrupt but it’s half eleven and we were supposed to close up half an hour ago..’ we looked around at all the empty chairs, ‘Oh, we’re so sorry..’ I began to say looking up at her only to realised she had turned her gaze to Tobias, her cheeks flushing and eye lashed fluttering, Tobias looked away from my eyes to see what I was scowling at to return to my view with a raised eyebrow and a smirk, ‘Listen, here’s a twenty pound tip, we apologise for staying so late’ I was mesmerised by his authority and confidence in his voice even though he continued to look at me whilst fishing out his wallet and speak to the waitress..’ thank you for your hospitality this evening, we’ll be on our way now’ Tobias exclaimed with politeness his childish smirk returning , he stood up, walked around to my chair helped me up by placing his hand on the small of my back again, I felt the electric charge again, he waited politely for me to collect my belongings.  I hadn’t realised it was so late, nor did I notice the rest of the customers leaving. We headed out of the bar into a chilly night, the sky pitch black with a light dusting of stars, the breeze a lot colder than during the daytime, I instantly crossed my arms to keep myself warm and protected from the breeze, Tobias smirked, shrugged of his jacket and placed it on my shoulders ‘You’ll have to buy another closet soon for all my jackets’ He stated sarcastically with amusement in his tone, I giggled in response and muttered a simple ‘mhm’ we walked in silence, he has one of his hands buried in his left pocket and the other wrapped around my waist, there was an Audi R8 on the curb ahead, I was fascinated by it as we approached it, it was brilliant white, even though it was dark out with barely any lighting on the road there was absolutely no missing the beauty it was jaw droppingly beautiful. ‘I should call a taxi’ I stated, He turned his head towards me his expression quizzical ‘Or I could drive you home, it’s no trouble, in fact I insist upon it, it’s very late’ puzzling over the idea of spending more time with this gorgeous man, I came to the conclusion that it would be much better if he did take me home, plus I could give him his jacket back, not that he actually seemed bothered about losing another jacket.  ‘Please, that’d be much better, thank you.. So where are you parked?’ I looked up at him, he flashed his brilliant white teeth at me which made my heart stop, ‘here’ he clicked his fob and the lights on the Audi R8 flashed, I suddenly got all excited like a little girl ‘Wow, this is yours?’ I exclaimed shocked and excited at the same time, ‘This is amazing’ He chuckled, opened the door and gestured me inside. Wow, a gentlemen too, I really like Tobias, I wonder if he likes me too. He closed the passenger side door behind me and walked around the front of the car to his side, so much confidence in his stride, his suit fitted him in all the right places giving me a perfect view to imagine his flawless body, it was sensual. He climbed in, fished out his keys, revved the engine, ‘You should probably put your seatbelt on.. I trust my driving but safety is a big thing to me’ He looked serious but almost apologetic at the same time, I nodded and smiled, ‘sure, it’s your car, what you say goes’ I grinned and plugged my seatbelt into place. He pulled away from the curb and sped and swerved through the deserted streets with unnatural calm, just looking at him driving sent a heated flare of longing through my body, setting all my nerve endings off making my skin feel sensitive. I muttered my address when he asked, mesmerised by his eyes and lips and the way his hair was still gelled back, he was so sexy and masculine. After a further five minutes of driving he turned the corner and pulled up in front of my apartment building, the lights were all off on the fifth floor which either meant Leila was in bed or she still wasn’t home. Maybe I should invite him in for a coffee or something, as if he read my thoughts ‘It’s late’ he pointed out. Smiling up at him ‘Of course..’ I nodded, ‘I really enjoyed myself tonight we should do it aga-‘ His lips were on mine, his hand behind my head pulling me deeper into him, my breath caught and my heart lurched into an excited rhythm, my body responded to the proximity of his, my lips moving in synchronisation to his, our tongues coaxing each others with soft gentle brushes. My body sagged into him, moaning into his mouth just from the contact between us, my skin was tingling, craving for his touch. He pulled away all too soon, our breathing deep and fast, ‘Sorry..’ He began, ‘Shh, it’s okay, I kissed you back, I liked it- I really liked it so don’t apologize’ I stated still trying to gather my bearings, my head was spinning and blood still racing around my body. His exhaled audibly.  His stormy grey eyes were fierce on my face, and then his mouth found mine again.

I woke up bright and early Saturday morning, my lips still felt puffy from the make out session with Tobias last night, we must have been sat in his gorgeous car for an hour kissing before he insisted on walking me to my door to make sure I got in safely. Just thinking about him got me all hot for him. Shrugging out from beneath my covers I threw myself out of bed and headed towards the bathroom to take care of business, after a quick shower and brushing my teeth I headed towards the vanity mirror to tie my hair into a neat bun and shrugged on a tight black t-shirt with my pale blue jeans slipping on my white pumps ready to meet my mom. Walking into the hallway I could smell bacon cooking. Leila’s up. ‘Hey, what time did you get back last night, you were still out when I got back?’ I asked as I came into the kitchen, I was halted in my tracks to see Leila lip locked with Mr. Impatient.. well, Richard Spears as his name was, as they heard me come into the kitchen, theypulled back from eachother Richard, leaned back onto the kitchen counter resting his palms on the counter tops studying his feet whilst Leila went bright red, ‘erm, we just got in actually, I bumped into Richard after the meal with my parents at 8 and I headed back to his place it got late so I stayed over’ she explained herself, I smiled genuinely at her and then rolled my eyes, ‘You staying in today or are you coming shopping with me and mom?’ I asked whilst leaning into the fridge to take out a cartoon of orange juice. ‘Actually, I’m going to call a rain check on shopping, me and Richard are going to catch a movie in town’ I smiled at her, ‘Let your mom know I said hi though’ Richard looked over at us, his facial expression showed that he felt awkward and embarrassed, I smiled at him hoping to put him at ease but he just looked at his feet again. ‘Want me to pick anything up for you whilst im out?’ I enquired, Leila looked as though she was in thought her perfectly shaped eyebrow arching for a brief second and then faltering, ‘No thankyou, I don’t think I need anything, but yeah thanks for the offer anyway’ She backed up towards the cooker and continued to make her bacon sandwiches. I took a glass from the cabinet poured myself the last bit of juice and went off in search of my bag. I found it hanging on my bed pole, reaching inside to collect my phone I placed my drink on the bedside table and unlocked my phone. 2 new messages. I clicked on the messaged and discovered that they were both from Tobias. Message number one stated,

‘Tonight was so much fun, I hope to see you again, sleep well T xo’

Smiling, I scrolled down to the second message,

‘Good morning beautiful, I hope you slept well, I sure as hell did- thinking of you, I hope to see you again, soon, have a good day T xo’

I sat smiling at my phone absent minded till at least 5 minutes had passed, I typed my reply quickly,

‘Morning, I slept very well thankyou, I woke up thinking of you, last night was perfect, thankyou, we should definitely do it again sometime, I hope you’re not having a bad day at work, see you around soon? C xx’

Placing my phone back into my bag, which I was leaving at home because I never had any use for it when shopping with my mom as she’d never let me pay for anything, she’d get upset and emotional if I tried to pay for things myself, she would actually make a scene about how I was making her feel impotent and not worthy too treat me, which I’d get embarrassed and give into her ludicrous behaviour. So after years and years of the same routine I’d finally gotten used to her demands and now in another routine of leaving the apartment empty handed and returning with a lot of expensive items. The doorbell rang and I headed towards it, taking my leather jacket along the way, I hadn’t applied any make up today, I hadn’t the need for it, I was only seeing my mom and going shopping. I opened the front door and was faced with my mother, she stood opposite me wearing a knee length floral dress which complimented her figure perfectly, it was turquoise with scattered white, lilac and pink flowers she wore white flats and had her blonde hair flowing in loose curls around her shoulders. Her green eyes highlighted by her silver eye shadow and pink coloured lips. Melissa Matthews was a beauty like no other, like a busty bombshell beauty from the fifties except she was only 38
