Chapter 10
Ryan
I’m trying my best to keep any inappropriate thoughts about Molly out of my head but I am finding in increasingly hard. Like this morning for example, I took her down breakfast in bed because it’s her birthday. I went down in just my pyjama bottoms knowing full well she wouldn’t be able to pass up a chance to check out my body. I think she thinks she is discrete when she does it but she really isn’t. I like the idea that maybe this whole thing isn’t just one sided on my half, I like to have any opportunity to see if she is affected in the same way. I know I should be trying to discourage all of it but I can’t help myself.
I knew she had only just woken up this morning because I didn’t hear any movement until her phone rang but yet she looked stunning when I walked in. Her eyes were bright and her hair was a sleepy mess. When she came towards me to say thank you for the canvas I thought was going to have to run away when I saw the little pink nighty she was wearing. It barely covered her arse and didn’t leave much to the imagination on top either. My self-control was really stretched when she wrapped herself around me. Thank god for the plate on my lap covering just how much she affects me.
Molly and Megan have been downstairs for a couple of hours already getting ready for tonight. I have no idea what takes so long but they must be having fun because I can hear them laughing together over the music from up here.
I’m stood in the kitchen having just emerged from the shower, I have a towel wrapped around my waist as I look in the fridge for a beer. I hear a noise behind me so I turn my head and see Molly heading my way with her hair loosely curled and her makeup done, but she is wearing a little vest top and shorts. She sways slightly so I guess they have started the night early downstairs. She walks straight to me, I feel her breasts crush against my back as she leans into the fridge with one hand while resting the other low on my hip. She grabs the bottle of wine and slowly pulls back slightly. Her hand moves from my hip, slides up my abs, wraps around the other side as she hugs me. I can feel her nose against my shoulder as she inhales and lightly kisses.
“You smell amazing,” she whispers against my skin before she moves away, walks out of the room and down the stairs until I hear her bedroom door shut.
“What the fuck was that?” I say to myself while trying to shake off the feelings she has just caused in me. I can still feel the tingles where she touched me.
“Ladies, it’s half seven and the taxi is waiting, hurry the fuck up,” I shout through Molly’s bedroom door. I have no idea what they have been doing in there all this time but I’m hoping for something awesome. It took me ten minutes flat to be dressed in dark jeans and a polo shirt, I ran some wax through my hair and I was ready. I’ve spent the rest of the evening waiting. I haven’t been able to shake the feelings Molly ignited in me earlier and I can’t wait to see her.
Suddenly the door flies open and Megan comes walking out ready to go. She looks good in her black skinny jeans and glittery silver top, her normally tied up hair is hanging straight around her shoulders and I notice it’s a brighter red than the last time I saw her. She is taller than Molly, which isn’t hard, and has more curves thanks to her cute little boy.
“Please tell me she is ready,” I say to Megan.
“Yes she’s coming, it’ll be worth the wait, I promise. She looks seriously hot.”
Shit!
I turn away from Megan when I see movement to my left and see Molly appear from her bathroom. I feel my chin drop to the floor as I watch her sashay towards us. I don’t think Megan’s description of seriously hot actually covers what I am seeing. Her hair and make up is the same as I saw earlier but she now has on a tight deep purple short dress that hangs down slightly to show a small amount of cleavage, making me lick my lips. On her feet are high glittery silver shoes, which make her exposed legs look extraordinary.
“See what I mean,” I hear Megan say beside me.
Molly then turns to grab her bag off her bed revealing the back of the dress, or lack there of. I actually suck in a breath at her exposed back, I can see almost down to the top of her arse. The desire to go and run my hands across her back is almost painful, almost as painful as my dick staining against the fabric of my jeans. I have to clench my fists to stop me reaching out and touching her.
“Ry, you okay?” Molly says as she moves towards me.
I swallow before nodding my head and saying, “Uh huh,” as she walks past me and out the front door, as she moves past her scent fills my senses making my mouth water. I don’t think I have ever been as turned on as I am right now and I haven’t even touched her. I watch as she disappears out the front door.
“Shit, you’ve got it bad haven’t you?”
“Sorry, what?”
“Molly, you want her.”
Fuck, what do I say to that?
“Um, she’s my best friend, Megan.”
With that I walk out and lock the door when she leaves the house putting an end to the conversation but I can see by the look she is giving me that I haven’t convinced her of anything other than how true what she just said is. Fuck, tonight is going to be awful.
The others are already seated when we arrive, which is no surprise as we are late. We quickly say hello to everyone and get sat down. I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or not that I’m sat opposite Molly. It means that I am not close enough to touch her, which is a good thing, but every time I look up she is all I can see. Shane and Chris are busy filling Molly in on their wedding plans on one side of me and Megan and Emma are talking about Cocoa’s on the other and all I can do is try to concentrate on not just staring at Molly. The guys have tried dragging me into their conversations but I wasn’t really paying attention to anything that was going on. They seem to have given up on me now though.
As the meal comes to an end I get up and go over to the bar to settle the bill. I know if I’m not quick that Molly will beat me too it and she is not paying for her own birthday meal.
“Hi, can I settle the bill for the table over there,” I say pointing in our table’s direction.
“Sorry Sir but it’s already been paid for. The lady in the purple dress came up here when you first came in, gave me her card details and told me not to let anyone else pay for this meal.”
“Oh, I should have known she would have beat me, damn. Thanks anyway.” I turn my head and look back to the table before going to the toilet and see Molly grinning at me. I just shake my head at her and walk off.
I’m washing my hands when Shane walks into the men’s.
