Page 5 of Adore Me
"Wait, where are you going?" Jack stopped me on my way out the door.
"Going to get something to eat. This has been nice. Nice to have met you," I walked away from him with a purpose and got outside to go to the diner. I wanted food so I could eat my feelings and hope that it makes me feel good. Something greasy and totally bad for me. While I eat it, I hope to feel batter, but I know that tomorrow I will wake up feeling like a gluttonous pig.
He followed me out and kept trying to put his arm around my waist. I didn't want him to touch me. That is something that I never did fully understand. Why strangers touch another stranger. I know for a fact that I haven't been giving off any vibes that would even encourage this. Jack must have been getting frustrated with me because I kept bypassing his hold.
Under his breath he whispered, "Fucking tease."
This made me very mad. I spun and looked at his face. Well, I didn't just see his face. I realized that Vincent was walking behind us. He turned away probably trying to make it seem like he wasn't following me and then turned back to walk past us.
My body was straight, and I drew strength and courage from the ground as I faced him to let him know what is on my mind. "You know what, Jack? You can go and fuck yourself," I formed a fist and punched him in his chin. My hand hurt and it threw off my balance of favoring my shoulder. Yeah, not a smart move on my part.
Chapter 6
He fell to the sidewalk as I walked away. I really wanted to see where Vincent ran off to, but I kept walking away. The diner looked like a beacon with red lights flashing. As I got to the diner doors, Annabeth, Bethany and their guys were already in there. I guess I got my answer, Vincent was sitting with them. I'm pretty sure that he saw me come in, but he didn't make it obvious if he did or not.
I smiled at them as I walked over to sit at the diner's bar. They were Vincent's friends before mine and he deserved to have some alone time without me complicating it. I would totally leave if there was another restaurant that were open right now because I didn't want to create a conflict or anything. I have had enough drama to last me my lifetime.
The diner is set up like an old one would have been. The colors are red and green with black tiled floors. Each booth is a different size between being circular or square and long or short. The only sitting area that has actual chairs is the bar which is long but wraps around the entire restaurant. It’s very neat since it faces the dining area.
"Hey, come over here!" Bethany stated.
I scanned the table and seen everyone smiling besides Vincent. He got out of his seat and started to walk away. He didn't have to leave and now I feel even worse.
"I will see you guys later," he said as he walked to the door. I felt the ice as it projected its cold feeling. The coldness that I felt, made me shiver.
I don't like him being so... I don't know! I want him to be how he always is with me. "Wait," I was thinking it and I must have said it out loud because Vincent turned around.
Vincent turned to face me, but his face wasn't warm how it always was when he looked at me. He looked as if he were hurting. I am the biggest bitch ever. I hurt this beautiful man and I hurt myself. "What?" The acrimonious tone that he used scared the daylights out of me. No wonder he is feared throughout the underworld. I am petrified of just his voice alone and I miss the doting and piety tone from before. He didn't come any closer to me and I didn't like that. I wanted him to embrace me.
I needed to fix this somehow. How would I even fix it? I am so worried that I have broken us to the point where glue and tape won't put us back together. "Will you eat with me and then walk me home?" I asked him as I held his gaze. Vincent didn't say anything as he looked over my face and then the group's. I honestly thought he was going to tell me no.
I swear, you could hear crickets. While he processed what I said, I worried that he would shut me down. How embarrassing would that be? I would just die from mortification. Floor swallow me whole!
"Do it, honey!' Annabeth said as she took a drink from her coffee cup and snuggled into a hug. "If you don't, I will kick your ass."
"Okay, if you insist," he walked past me but didn't touch me. I sat first in the snug booth next to Johnny. "I am trying to give you space but you are making it hard," he whispered in my ear. Vincent's breath was so hot on my cheek that I had to remind myself to breathe.
"I know you are," the waitress came up to take our orders. "A bacon cheeseburger with fries," I said as I handed her my menu and took a drink of my iced tea. "I am famished, guys!"
Everyone laughed and I couldn't help but want to touch Vincent especially with invading my nose with his spicy cologne. My hand keeps creeping towards him. Vincent must have noticed what I was doing because I'm failing on being discreet. Or trying to not do, for that matter.
"You are making it hard for me," he whispers as he brushed my hair out of my face. Where he touched me, my skin tingled, and my heartbeat jump started. "I am dying to kiss you," I closed my eyes and let his words wash over me. "I have been dying to touch you and hold you for what feels like an eternity." I leaned back against the booth's back and squeezed my eyes tighter. "I need to leave. I can't be this close to you and not touch you or kiss you," he whispered in my ear. I forgot that everyone was there until Vincent stood up. "I will see you tomorrow," he walked away.
I shot out of my seat and ran as skilled as a slightly intoxicated woman could in high heels. He turned around as I ran into his core. My arms wrapped around his neck and I pulled his face to mine. "Kiss me, please," I begged. His words sounded so good and I wanted him to keep talking to me.
"Do it! Or I will kick your ass!" Annabeth hollered.
With my eyes closed, his mouth met mine with hunger. I hugged him tighter around his neck and pulled him into my embrace, so our bodies felt like they molded together. Vincent held me as he possessed my mouth. He led our lip lock, but he led it to the point where I am about to go certifiably insane.
Want and need courses through me.
I felt the weight of how much I have missed this as it crushed me. "I have missed you," I said in between kisses.
Vincent kissed me two more times, hard and sexy, before straightening and looking around at everyone. I could only assume that we have attracted an audience. "Not nearly as much as I missed you. Come on, let's get you some food."
As hungry as I am, food is not something that I want right now. I want to go home and fuck the shit out of Vincent until my body is spent. "Wait, not yet!" I grabbed his arms and snaked them around my waist. With my lips open, I met his tongue in the middle.
"Hey! Get a room!" Someone yelled.
