Vanessa laughed hysterically. “I bet the eighty-five year old's face was priceless,”
“It was!” he then mocked an old woman’s voice. “Well, throw me in a manger and change my name to Mary. It’s a miracle as my eggs are dried up like raisins, and I haven’t had sex since John F. Kennedy was in office.” It was hilarious,”
I was starting to feel a little jealous as I could clearly tell that this guy was hitting on Vanessa. Out of annoyance I gripped the cream and white striped curtain in my fist throwing it open.
Vanessa jumped, the smile quickly erased from her face. “Ben!” she said shocked to see me standing there.
“Hello, Vanessa,” I smirked the best I could with swollen lips. I wondered if this is what woman who get Botox feel like right afterward?
“You shouldn’t be standing up just yet,” the tall, muscular doctor stood from his seat then tossed his coffee cup into the trash. “Can we go sit for a moment so I can check you’re vitals and ask you a few questions? Then I can let you get out of here,”
“I’d rather just leave,” I said in monotone, staring at him blankly.
“Benjamin,” Vanessa said sternly. “We aren’t leaving until he gives us the okay to leave. Now let’s go,” she pointed to the room as she walks past ‘Dr. Love’. She turned me around and gave me a light shove back into the room.
I sat back onto the bed and let the doctor listen to my heart and check my pulse.
“Can you breathe okay? Any trouble swallowing?” he studied my face.
“No,” I attempted to glare over the facial swelling.
“I’m sure the worst is over now,” he was writing in my file. “I told your friend Vanessa that I am sending you home with a few scripts to help with all the swelling. But I suggest you stay with someone so they can watch you for any other signs of upper respiratory distress.” he smiled at Vanessa.
He needed to stop smiling at her like that.
“Well, princess, I’m staying at your place tonight,” I waggled my brows at Vanessa who cracked up.
“Okay, fine… just don’t do that until your swelling goes down.” she laughed again. Well, isn’t someone in a chipper mood. I huffed.
“Thank you so much for helping Ben, Chase.” Vanessa shook his hand.
Chase?
“You are very welcome, Vanessa,” he smiled again. I wanted to kick his ass every time he smiled like that. “Text me,”
“I will,” her cheeks turned red as he disappeared behind the curtain.
“Seriously?” I asked her.
“What?” she sighed dreamily. “He is so hot,” she giggled like a school girl.
“What happened to the new Vanessa? You’re blushing, and doing your giggle thing.” I pointed at her. Little does she know that I remember her saying something about her changing. But thanks be to the lack of oxygen because right when she was about to tell me why, I passed out.
She shook her head slightly. “I am not blushing,” she rolled her eyes.
“Uh, yeah you are,” Not only do I have to deal with Jordan, but now this douche-bag.
“Come on,” she grabbed my hand. “Video store, pharmacy, then home,”
Home? I felt my heart skip a beat.
I smiled as she lead me out of the emergency department. I mean, she could have said ‘my house’ instead she referred to her house as ‘home’. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
~
We stopped at the video store choosing the movie Ted, got my medicine, and are now back at ‘home’. I took my so nicely ripped, blue dress shirt off and I am sitting on her new plush, cream colored sofa in my jeans and white undershirt. I’m watching Vanessa looking sexy as hell in her PINK sweats and tank top as she stood in the kitchen reading the info sheets for my medicine.
“Okay, Benjamin,” she sighed squinting at the papers. “This one,” she held up one of the bottles of pills. “You don’t need until tomorrow and it is only once a day.” she put that paper and bottle down picking up the next one. “But this one, you can take now,” she smiled at me before turning around to grab a bottled water.
“Why do you want to make me want you, Vanessa?” I asked her as she walked into the living room with the water and my pill. She stopped dead in her tracks and stared at me for a moment.
That’s right, princess, I remember. I smiled.
She blinked and continued towards the couch. “I have no clue what you are talking about. Now here,” she handed me the water and pill.
“I just remember what-”
“You must have been dreaming, I said nothing like that.” she huffed out of frustration of being caught. “Why would I want you to want me? It was the lack of oxygen to your brain,” she puts the DVD in the player and sat next to me.
“A dream,” I nodded as I stared at the flat screen. I know better than that. I remember her crying, yelling at the other cars… I remember everything she had said. I threw the pill in my mouth and swallowed hard not needing the water. I sighed.
“How are you feeling?” she placed her hand on my leg.
“I’m good,” I smiled. “Did I fall out of the car or something?” I rubbed my left hand.
“No, why?” she adjusted herself so she was comfortable.
“Because my hand hurts,” I studied my hand and the hint of blue beneath my skin.
“Oh, yeah…” she nodded quickly with her lips pursed. “You fell out of the car. Shh, Ben, the movie is starting,”
I watched her grab the blanket from off the top of the coffee table and wrapped herself in it. Leaning into the corner of the couch, I sat up, then grabbed Vanessa. I wrapped her in my arms then pulled her down in front of me. She didn’t protest at all. She surprisingly snuggled her back against my chest trying to get as close as she could. With my arm around her waist I pulled her closer to me, my face buried in her hair smelling her sweet shampoo.
Vanessa fell asleep in my arms about fifteen minutes into the movie. She had rolled over, facing me now with her face buried into my chest, her warm breath giving me goosebumps. I pulled her closer to me as I watched the movie. The part where the little teddy bear told his hot co-worker that he wanted to give her a ‘dirty-fuzzy’ was funny as hell and made me laugh hysterically. Vanessa’s head bounced with every laugh making her groan.
“Sorry,” I whispered in her ear as I held her tightly to my chest.
The next thing that Vanessa did shocked me. I saw a slight smile play across her lips as she reached up and caressed my face with her fingertips. I closed my eyes at her touch. It felt so good.
Her hand stopped moving, she cupped my right cheek. I looked down at her to see her staring at me, her heavy eyelids fluttering gently against the lighting of the television and the kitchen.
“What?” I whispered thoughtfully as I smiled a her. She was beautiful, the most gorgeous woman that I had ever laid eyes on.
She traced my lips gently with her fingertips. “The swelling has gone down a little bit,” she whispered. “Does it hurt?”
“No,” I stared into her blue eyes, the flickering of the television making them sparkle.
“I like it here,” she scooted up a little bit, we were face to face.
“Me too,” I whispered. “Your place is comfortable, it’s not so dark,” Like my place is dark, lonely, quiet, and cold. I hate it.
“No, I mean, I like it here... in your arms,” she stared at me, her eyes an ocean with giant waves of feelings and emotions just drowning me.
I touched her face softly with my hand, she closed her eyes. I leaned in slowly, my heart was racing.
“Ben?” her warm breath brushed against my lips.
I swallowed hard. “Yes?”
Vanessa opened her eyes. “Kiss me, please?”
I slowly leaned in closer. I placed my lips on hers and held them there for a moment. I kissed her gently feeling Vanessa let her body melt into mine. She moaned onto my lips then traced her tongue along my bottom lip wanting the intensity of our kiss to rise a not
ch. I gladly accepted. Her fingers running through my hair, she pulled me closer.
I had never felt this way while kissing someone. It felt as though my heart was going to burst and I, my friends, was on cloud nine. I felt sparks flowing through my entire body, her lips made mine feel like they were on fire… well, unless of course it’s due to the slight swelling that is still present, but I doubted it. As Vanessa is pressed against me, I could also feel that her heart was racing too.
She pulled away completely breathless. She looked into my eyes.
“Oh my God,” she whispered.
“I know, right?” I said with full understanding of how she felt. The shock wave of heat her kisses gave me, the sparks from every touch of her fingertips upon my skin that ignited a warmth below my waistline. It was unbelievable.
“Ben,” she whispered as she stared into my eyes. We were both still breathing hard, our lips were only centimeters apart.
I was so elated at this moment that I wanted to burst. I grabbed her, kissing her fervidly as though the only way to make this explosion inside of me stop was to keep kissing her. She wrapped her legs and arms around me, squeezing me tightly against her with so much need. Between her legs was hot against the bulging crotch of my jeans, I pressed myself against her harder making her moan. After our little-sensual-touching rendezvous the other night I should have known that us actually kissing would be this intense.
She pulled away again staring into my eyes searching for something. My next thoughts told her what I think she was searching for in my eyes.
I love you, Vanessa.
“Make love to me,” she whimpered
.
"With pleasure, princess," I whispered against her lips.
Not breaking our stare even for a second, I stood up from the couch and held my hand out to her. She put her warm, fragile hand in mine then rose from the couch. I smirked at her before I turned around leading her to the bedroom. I stopped at the foot of her bed then turned, pulling her to me. I placed my hands upon her cheeks taking a moment to take in every dimension of her perfect face. God, she was beautiful. I could never get tired of this angelic face- so sweet and innocent. She stood on her tip toes and kissed me softly. I gripped her tank top with my hands tightly against her back slowly raising it. She stared into my eyes as she raised her arms. I reached behind her back as she placed soft kisses along my jawline and within two seconds her black lace bra fell to the floor.
“Your turn,” she whispered staring into my eyes, she smiled. She ran her hands up my chest from under my white t-shirt. I closed my eyes at the feel of her touch. Her fingers trailed back down to the bottom of my shirt, she slowly pulled my shirt up then took it off. I pressed her against me, we were skin to skin. Her breasts felt so soft and warm against my chest. I held her tightly against me as I turned with Vanessa's back to the bed. She took her sweats off then stared at me as she sat upon her bed. I felt her hands along the waistline of my jeans unbuttoning them slowly as she trailed kisses on my stomach. She pulled them down and I kicked them off. She laid against the mattress then propped herself onto her elbows inching her way back, she laid her head on the pillows looking like a fucking Goddess. I stayed standing there at the foot of the bed admiring her perfect body as she lay there. From her almond shaped blue eyes, down her toned stomach and petite feet; she was absolutely perfect.
“You, Vanessa, are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen,” I inched my way to her, placing soft kisses from the tip of her toes to her thighs making her squirm. It should be a sin to be this perfect.
“Touch me, Ben...” Vanessa let out a long sensual sigh. “please,” she begged wrapping her fingers in my hair tugging slightly.
“Tell me where,” I whispered against her black lace panties.
“Ah, God,” she breathed. “here,” she brought her hand down, touching herself between her legs gracefully. It was one of the sexiest thing I had ever seen. Now, don't get me wrong, I have seen a woman touch herself. Not Vanessa. Vanessa is taking me to a whole new level of horny. I was so damn excited as I have waited for this moment my entire life. I have always wanted Vanessa. I thought I loved her a few hours ago but nothing, and I mean nothing in this world could ever express my love for this perfect woman right now laying beneath me so vulnerable, so trusting.
I placed my hands on the inside of her thighs and pressed, opening her legs wider. I heard her breathing picking up speed in anticipation of my touching her sweet spot. I trailed my tongue in the crease of her thigh as I pulled her panties aside. I couldn't handle it anymore, the pressure below my waist was damn near intolerable. I wanted to explode; it felt like she already had. I had ran my finger over her, and to say that she was wet with bliss was a complete understatement. Oh, my God... I had never been with a woman that was so turned on by my touch before.
“You are so wet, Vanessa,” I breathed on her, teasing her with the tip of my finger.
“Ben,” Vanessa cried out, bucking her hips making my finger go all the way inside of her. I then lost all control of myself, my thoughts, and well... my mouth. I ran my tongue over her, she tasted so perfectly sweet... just like vanilla. How is that even possible?
“Ah, yes,” she moaned. I pumped my finger faster and could feel the inside of her constrict tighter. I knew she was close, but I couldn't let her let herself go without me inside of her. I wanted to feel Vanessa reach that point... the point that I, Ben McGurthy, had taken her to.
I pulled my finger out of her, kissing her sweet spot one more time. I sat up onto my knees, pulling my boxer briefs off. I quickly grabbed a condom from my wallet putting it on. My, God I was so swollen. I have never been this turned on in my entire life. I was ready... I was ready to make love to Vanessa Montello and nothing was going to stop me. Tonight, I hold nothing back.
Still on my knees, I scooted closer between Vanessa's legs. She was panting and breathing so hard. I watched her chest rise making her perfectly erect nipples stick out farther as if they were screaming at me to touch them. I reached out cupping them in my hands, I rubbed my thumbs over her nipples making her moan.
“Ben, please...” she cried.
“Please, what?” I ran my hands down her heated thighs gripping her panties. She raised her hips letting me pull them off. I threw them to the floor.
“I can't take it anymore,” she moaned, bucking her hips trying so desperately hard to get closer to me.
“Tell me what you want, princess,” I whispered as I teased her with my finger. She was wetter now... was that possible? I groaned.
“Just...” she panted. “just, fuck me, Ben,” she moaned as she cupped her breasts.
Oh, what? Did she just say what I thought she did?
On my knees I grabbed her hips bringing her closer. I touched the tip to her a few times to tease her before pressing myself all the way inside.
“Holy shit,” I whispered aloud. She felt so good tightly wrapped around me.
“Ben,” she moaned, gripping at her bed sheets with her hands.
I wanted to be closer to her than I was. I was scared this would be the only time I would ever be this close to her. I dropped her hips then laid upon her, pressing between her legs entering her slowly. Her arms wrapped around my neck and her legs squeezed my hips tightly against her.
“You feel so good,” I whispered in her ear making her moan again. Kissing her neck, I took a deep breath inhaling the sweet smell of her shampoo.
I pulled out then back in slowly. I love you... and again, I pumped. I love you... and again, this time faster. I kissed her with the need to feel her tongue in my mouth. I pulled away then looked into her eyes... I love you.
On the verge of going over the top, trying so hard to hold it back, I felt her walls constrict tightly against me. She was close again. I wanted so badly as I stared into her blue eyes to tell her that I loved her, but I couldn't... not yet.
I love you...
Chapter Ten: Act Like You Know
Ben
&nb
sp; I laid in Vanessa’s bed and stared at her while she lightly snores, her body so relaxed in her deep slumber. I smiled, softly touching her shoulder with my fingertips. How a guy like me got so damn lucky to have a night like I had with someone like Vanessa is unbelievable. I meant that I was in love with her last night… however, it is unclear if she could see it in my eyes as I said the words aloud in my head. The way her eyes lit up, I was sure as hell that she did. I know I had a crush on her, but the multiple events that occurred in this bedroom last night just confirms my feelings for her. There was one other person in this world besides myself who truly knows my hearts desires; God. I prayed for a moment; Please, God, don't let her regret me when she wakes up. I don't think my heart could handle it...
