The Bet - 15 - "She Said He's So Sweet I Wanna Lick The Wrapper."

“She Said He’s So Sweet, I Wanna Lick The Wrapper!”2

After my less than cheer worthy night out with the girls, I was eager to see Blake again. His plane was due in just about an hour. I hurried around his room, scurrying through the many balloons as I hug the streamers in various obnoxious places. I wasn’t sure how he would react to me trashing his room, seeing as he appeared to keep it rather tidy, but I couldn’t wait to see his face when he walked in on this disaster. I sat down on his bed and kicked at a couple of the pink balloons and smiled to myself. I heard my phone blaring Framing Hanley and reached to get it from my purse. I looked down at the caller 3

ID. Blake. 4

“Hello?” 5

“Hey Sour Cheeks.” He stated tiredly. 6

“What’s up?” I asked as I lay back against his pillows. 7

“Just landed and I’m standing here waiting for my luggage. What are you doing?” He asked. 8

“Nothing really… Just relaxing in bed.” I stated with slight grin. 9

“Mind if I join? I’m so completely tired.” He stated. 10

“Sure, there’s room for two.” I replied as I ran my hand across the left side of the bed. I heard him laugh lightly. 11

“You want to do something tomorrow?” He asked. I heard the sudden sound of traffic and people shouting. He must be on his way home now. 12

“What do you have in mind?” I sat up and looked around for my bag. The airport was only twenty minutes away from Blake’s neighborhood. 13

“I guess whatever you would like to do. I just miss your face.” He stated, “Jesus Christ, fucking assholes! Stay on your side of the road!” He snapped. 14

Great, he’s cranky! I sighed to myself. “Well why don’t you just go home, get some rest, and we’ll talk about it in the morning?” I offered. I heard him sigh. 15

“Yeah, ok.” 16

I hung up and took a quick look around. There was no way I could have cleaned all this up before he got there. I would just have to grin and bare it. I shuffled around the room looking for my bag. I found it over by the couch. I reached in and pulled out Blake’s t-shirt from the other night and I went to go put it back in his closet when I heard footsteps in the hall. I sat down on the couch and watched as the door to the room opened. I saw Blake walk in carrying his suitcases. He set them down and brought his hands to his hips. I held by breath expecting him to yell and curse, but as he looked down at the floor and shook his head, I heard his laughter. This brought a smile to my face. 17

“Relaxing in bed my ass!” I heard him sigh.18

“What kind of friend would I be if I let you come home to an empty and clean room after such a long trip?” I called. He looked over at me for the first time since he stepped in the room and smirked. 19

“How did you even get in my house?” He asked as he maneuvered through the balloons towards his closet. 20

“I’m quite the crafty individual.” I made my way over towards his bed. He turned to me with a worn smile. He looked so very tired. 21

“So, I see…” 22

“Oh…” I jumped up and grabbed his shirt. “I brought your t-shirt back.” I held it up and smiled. “Fresh and clean!” 23

“You can keep it.” I looked at him with slight confusion in my face. 24

“But it’s your favorite shirt.” He shrugged and stuffed his hands in his jean pockets. 25

“True, but I like it better on you.” I blushed slightly at his words, before shaking them off. 26

“Yes, I must agree.” I joked as I set it back on the couch. “How was your visit?” 27

“It was good. My grandfather is quite the character. It’s always a treat to be around him.” He stated as he sat down on his bed. He slid off his shoes and his jacket and tossed them toward the closet. “It was nice.” 28

“What about you’re parents?” I asked. He looked up at me, slight pain in his eyes.29

“They, uh… weren’t there when I got there. Something about having to be back in London.” 30

“I’m sure they’d of been there to see you if they could.” I offered. He nodded but didn’t look too convinced. Suddenly, he looked up at me with a smile. 31

“So, why are you really here?” He questioned. I got up off the couch and walked over to sit down next to him on his bed. 32

“Jeremy showed up to our girls’ night and asked how everything was going. He was starting in on how I probably wasn’t doing enough and I told him I was coming over here to ‘throw myself’ at you when you got back. So, aside from being a good friend, I’m also saving face.” I stated. He nodded. 33

“How did you do on said Girls’ night?” He asked. I frowned slightly. “That bad?” 34

“I’m just not very good at being a tease I guess.” I folded my legs up in front of me on the bed. 35

“I wouldn’t say that.” Blake started. I looked up at him.36

“What does that mean?” I asked. 37

“I mean, maybe your sense of ‘teasing’ isn’t the traditional whore kind of way, but it unquestionably works rather well.” I looked up at him and he offered me a half grin. I didn’t have a clue what he meant, but I understood his look. I understood the emotion taking over his tired face. I understood the way he looked me over with his eyes. I felt the heat start to rise up in my neck as I got up off the bed. 38

“It’s ok Blake. You don’t have to lie for me. I’ll just stick to using my face and my money to get guys.” I grabbed my bag and the t-shirt, and then turned to him with a smile. “I’ll see you tomorrow?” He stood and began toward me. I fidgeted slightly as I tried not to look him in the eye. 39

“Why do you think I’m so naďve? Like I can’t see it?” He asked softly. 40

“I’m not sure I understand what you’re talking about Blake.” I lied. He wanted to know why I assumed he was too naďve to see what was really going on here. Wanted to know why I acted like he couldn’t see the fact that I was completely beside myself around him. He reached up and slid my bag off my shoulder and tossed it back on the couch. With a soft smile, he leaned in. 41

“Sure you do.” He spoke against my ear. I closed my eyes as he pressed his lips against my jaw below my ear, and I felt my heart burst within my chest. His lips moved slowly down my jaw to my chin. His hand slithered through my hair and braced the back of my neck. I opened my eyes to look at his face as he stood barely inches away from me, his eyes looked deep into mine and I realized quickly, as my heart seemed to beat out of my chest, that I was no where near ready to handle this.42

“Blake…” my plea was almost breathless as he leaned his forehead against mine. He rubbed his nose across mine a few times. “I just… what about Jeremy?” I questioned. He looked up at me and shrugged. 43

“What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” He pulled me in tightly against him. I grinned slightly.44

“I thought you said I wasn’t that great of an actress?” I asked. 45

“Yeah, well… Jeremy’s not all that bright either.” He stated with a smirk. I bit down on my lip in thought. It was true, if I gave into him like I wanted to, it wouldn’t be too difficult to keep from Jeremy. But Alice, well she was another story. She’d see it written all over my face from a mile away. “God, I love it when you do that!” Blake almost growled at me, as he suddenly pressed his lips firmly to mine. He pulled away from my lips for barely a second before reconnecting in a deeper and more passionate kiss. I felt a slight jolt in my stomach as his lips danced across mine. My mind began to blur and I felt so weak in the knees I thought I would have fallen if he let go of me the slightest bit. I pressed my palms to his chest and pushed away from him slightly. 46

“W-w-wait a minute,” I started as I tried to catch my breath. “Shouldn’t we talk about this just a little bit more?” I asked. 47

“What’s to talk about?” He asked as he slid his shirt off. I gazed slightly over his muscular shoulders and down his pecks to his very taut abs. I brought my look back to his face, as his breathing quickened and his smoldering eyes bore into me. Was it possible for someone to be this beautiful? 48

“Good point…” I swooned as he scooped me back up in his arms. We fell out on his bed, my hands tangled in his hair, his hands pulling at my clothes, our lips inseparable. Blake’s kisses were enough to make me die happy and it seemed like he was literally sucking the life and the air from my lungs as I began to get dizzy again. I needed air, needed to break our kiss, but I’d rather die than to do so. 49

Blake pulled back long enough for me to remove my shirt before his lips pressed to mine once again, but they didn’t linger long. He moved his lips down my neck softly and when he reached the curve into my shoulder, a soft moan escaped my lips. I felt him smile into my skin and he ran his hand gently up my side to rest at the bottom of my bra. He kept his kiss at my neck as his hand followed my bra around to the latch and he quickly unsnapped it. He left it covering my breast as he moved his hands and his lips down my chest, to my stomach and came to rest at the brim of my jeans. I leaned up to watch him as he unbuttoned and gripped them tightly in his hands. He inched them down slowly as he kissed from hip bone to hip bone, stopping at one and gently pressing his teeth into my flesh. I cried out slightly. He swiftly pulled off my pants and tossed them across the room. I unbuttoned his jeans and pushed them down to his ankles. He stepped out of them quickly and his lips were on mine again. I pulled my bra off as tossed it, bringing my hands up his sides and gripping around his shoulders. I pressed my lips against his chest. We laid back on the bed as his lips traveled back down my neck and then quickly back up to my lips. My legs wrapped around his hips and as he thrust inside me, I cried out against his lips. 50

To say I was a virgin would be a lie, but I don’t remember sex ever feeling as good as this and as Blake’s thrust kept their almost maddening slow and steady pace, I realized this feeling was something more than just the need for sexual pleasure. 51

I was in love with Blake McAvry.52

That feeling began to build and build until I could no longer contain it and I clung to him tightly as my body spasm beneath him. Digging my nails into his back, I screamed out in pleasure, bringing him as close to me as our bodies would allow. He dug his teeth deep into my neck as a grunt sounded from deep within his chest. I cried out again. He kissed up my neck one last time and pressed his lips gently against my own. I dug my hands into his hair and kissed him back softly. He pulled back to look at me. I smiled up at him sweetly and he gave me a tired smile. He kissed my forehead before he rolled over to the side. He pulled me into him and I rested my head on his chest. 53

“I should really go.” I began softly, “I told my parents I was going to be home hours ago. They’re probably fighting about whose the worst of the two as parents.” I laughed lightly. Blake rolled to his side slightly and wrapped his arms around me. He buried his head into the curve of my neck and mumbled a soft ‘please stay’. 54

How could I say no to that?55
