start moving like a snail?” I impatiently asked him .
“Since your back is exposed to me. You’re killing me here baby. You know how much I love your back. Fuck! This shit blows .”
I smiled, knowing how distracted he’ll be. “Maybe you should get laid you know…Have you been with anyone after Brooke?”
“Yes… you . That night in Santa Monica was the last time I got laid.” Kyle whispered. No freaking way . That can’t be, I mean Kyle is pretty hot. The bad boy with the buzz-cut hair , now with tattoos and those beautiful hazel eyes which I’ m sure melts women—it used to turn me into a puddle of goo—why choose to be celibate?
Duh , you know why.
“You’re joking right? That’s crazy long ago. Having sexual problems young man?” Trying to make light of the situation because I’m totally freaked out—for a man to do something like that—is very serious. Guys just don’t give up sex for no reason.
“Figured that I did so much damage with you and I don’t want to ruin any chances anymore. I want you back. I d on’t care much about sex with other women. I just want you and I want the next time to be with you .” Finishing the last hook and eye, he softly caressed my shoulder with the back of his finger.
“That’s pretty loaded Kyle… ”
“Don’t worry… .no need to rush . I just love being with you , ” he whispered softly in my ear.
“I saw him today , you know and he hates me.” Him as in Blake Knightly.
“ He doesn’t hate you—the man is just hurt because you rejected him. I don ’t think that sits well with a man like Blake . I don’t think he knows what rejection feels like and you dished it out to him . He’ll get over it .”
Why does everyone tell me that Blake will eventually “ get over it ” ? Have they seen how much the man has changed? How much he loathes me? His eyes practically sliced me into two. And he totally looked hot…I’m such a charity case.
“Who knows if he’s been rejected? Not many can resist him you know. Apart from his vast wealth, the man is a walking sex on a stick.” My heart palpitated with thoughts of Blake with women again. Crap , this has got to stop.
“Exactly, you don’t want that do you? You should think about the future and what you want. I know you’re still recovering and you’re doing a great job. But you have to let it go, Sienna. It’s not healthy.” I turned around and face d Kyle.
“You mean it’s time for me to move on and consider you and me again?” I look ed him straight in the eye.
“Yes…that too. I love you and I’ve been in love with you since I was ten I think. I told my mom that very same day that I was going to marry you someday. I want to marry you today, tomorrow…it doesn’t matter. I’m nuts about you. We have history—just think about it? Promise me that , will you ?”
“Marry you today or tomorrow?” I joked and tapped the tip of his nose.
“Sure. I’d love to. I can’t stop loving you…or wanting you baby. I’ve tried and it was pointless. I know you’re not ready to get married yet—so all I’m asking you is to start really thinking about us. How about a trial period? Two weeks or a month? See if you can be with me, that’s all I ask. Promise me you will consider it? ”
I smiled at his pleading face. “Okay, okay. If you’re that desperate to be with me, then I promise to think about it.”
He laughed , making his eyes twinkle. “God you’re awesome!” H e bent over to kiss me on the lips. “Now, get your fine sexy self ready or else we’ll be crazy late to the gig.”
“Fine , then go wait for me ou tside so I can finish up faster . ” I shooed him out of the room.
I gathered up and slipped on my lace-up knee-high black boots and started with my heavy lined make-up.
