The door to my apartment is barely open when I turn towards him, crushing my mouth to his, lips colliding like we waited forever when in reality it had been a couple of hours. His kisses are much more, intoxicating, wild, hungry. During the show our hands were locked the entire time, we both watched with attention but the hungered desire never went away, it was there during the show, eyes meeting for a second, through smiles, unspoken words, the ride back home was worse. We were both choking on the thick desire that clogged the car, how we managed to wait and pretend until we reached my front door is very surprising to me. My fingers clutch his shirt as the kiss deepens, our feet stumbling as we navigate clumsily through the doorway, his fingers run along the wall searching for the light switch, flooding the room with bright light. I switch our positions, pushing him against the wall,“Keep the lights off.” I pant between kisses,“I want to see your face.” he grunts, switching our
“I love, absolutely adore Rachel Park, she is like my role model, always has been. The first day I attended her recital years ago, I literally fell in love with sheet music and her at once. I never cried so much at once.” Regina gushes as I drive, her arms are gesturing, huge gestures, the excitement in her voice pulls me in and I cannot wait to share the moment with her. “Isn’t it fate that it’s her music they would be using for the show?? How big of a coincidence is that?” From what she has told me, Rachel Park is a celebrity in their world, so it’s not much of a coincidence her song would be used, but I can’t ruin her excitement, instead I nod and smile, even peering into her phone screen when she shows me a picture of Rachel Park. “Radiant, isn’t she?” she says wistfully, staring at her phone screen, to me she was the radiant one right now, glowing brightly.“For a while I dreamt I would be the next Rachel Park, our names even starts with the same letter, then when I handed
“If this is going to work, I have just one rule.” I look up at him from above my lashes, my mind finally catching up with my body, and reminding me of what is the most important thing at stake. “What’s that?” His voice has that deep, guttural bite to it, kind of like the sound he made this morning, it had washed over me again and again.“You have to promise you won’t fall in love with me.”I am not sure which is more comical, his brows jumping so high, or the way his eyes bulged with surprise. “I know it sounds very narcissistic, but it is really important to me that you do not bring love into the mix and ruin everything, and in the same vein I won’t be falling in love with you.” He stares at me for a second, before resuming his cooking, he is in a long sleeved shirt today so his glorious arms are away from view, though he seems very much in charge, relaxed and in his element here, his movements fluid as he cooks. “Not a fan of love I assume?”I scoff, rolling my eyes,“I got a t
I woke up with the strangest feeling this morning. There’s a buzzing feeling in my chest and in the air. I turn to face the window where she is supposed to be asleep. Last night, it took a lot of effort to make sure she went back to her apartment. We both knew our pact to take it slow would be out the window if she stayed. We kissed at the door before I took her back, kissed at hers, I made a point to stand outside the door, kissing her again and again, our hands pawing at our clothes. We have nothing special planned for today, but she had closed the door in my face with a huge smile on hers, and told me in a cheeky voice, “Kiss you tomorrow!”I smiled the way back, inside my pants tight with a hard on that didn’t seem to understand the words taking it slow, neither does my head, inside my head she never left, we did a lot more than kissing. Today, I can’t help but walk to my window, hoping to see her, and then I do, behind her curtain she waves at me, my chest does the weirde
“Right now they should eat.” I whisper.She rolls her eyes and finally takes a bite of her food, I watch her eyes widen, she looks down at the plate and then back up at me, repeats the process whilst pointing at her food. “This is insane, absolutely incredible. Fuck, you are such a good cook! I would kiss you if you weren’t such a prude.” “I am not a prude.” I tell her right before taking a bite, following her lead, and it is good, better than I expected. It’s been a while since I made this, and I wasn’t sure about it, yet I wanted to make it for her. “Right, and my name is not Regina.” she says with another eye roll, taking even more bites of food. I like cooking for her, watching her hum and nod every time she ate like I did more than cook, like I was something special. “If your name wasn’t Regina, what would you choose?”She raises a brow, struggling with her hair, and I get up from my seat, finding one of the many elastic bands I bought to hold my paint brushes, standing behin
“I haven’t had lemon salmon rice before.” I say from his sofa, dressed in one of his shirts he made me wear the second we stepped into his apartment, even when I argued my clothes already dried on me. It was an obvious gimmick, my refusal I mean, obviously I wanted to be in his clothes.“Really?” he asks from the kitchen.I raise the comic I picked up earlier, stretching my hands out entirely, my eyes go over the colorless pages full of cartoon drawings and the texts next to them, still unsure what he likes about them. “Yeah, back at home mom never really cooked for us, too busy searching for the meaning of life, the cooks dad had always made things he liked, and it was either potatoes or some dish that involved potatoes.” I say without taking my eyes off the comic, the title was what drew me to it My cat hates you. “Searching for the meaning of life? She didn’t find it with six children?”I can’t tell which is funnier, the dry way he asked the question or the question itself, it d
