Daisy’s Secret Crush

***Daisy’s POV.***

We go to a superstore to buy groceries. Theo excuses himself for a minute after we come out of the store. I wait for him in the car and think about getting changed into a comfy skirt.

He comes back with a bottle of wine and some odd expression on his face. We go straight to my apartment after that, and I make sure no one sees us.

“I’ll make the mac n cheese. Why don’t you make something else till then.” He says.

“Sure.” I say and go towards another counter.

I was thinking of making it and spilling a little on my clothes to get an excuse to change out of it. But I would find another way. I started making salad and also bruschetta. I spilled a bit of lemon juice on myself.

“Oh no! I have to wash this. Everything is done over here. I will be back in a few minutes.” I say and excuse myself to go to my bedroom.

I try to find that cute dress which would be easy to remove. I am such a basic creature. Theo is at my apartment for the first time, and I am looking for ways to get him in my bed. Nobody could tell I am a virgin till now. I found the dress I had been looking for and wore it. I come out in a black cami dress with a spaghetti strap.

“It is ready.” Theo says after a few seconds of surveying me.

“Good. Where do you want to eat? Here or there.” I ask, pointing at the dining table, then at the couch and coffee table.

“There.” He says.

“Okay.” I say a salad bowl and tray of bruschetta on the coffee table.

Theo comes with a pan of mac n cheese, which looks yummy. We get comfortable on the couch with a glass of wine and have dinner as we watch a thriller movie. We enjoy it as we both are fans of it. As we get more comfortable on the couch, I get closer to him and lay my head on his shoulder while he puts his arm behind the couch.

“What are you doing, Daisy?” He asks suspiciously.

“Simply enjoying a movie with my first-ever boyfriend.” I say as I look up at him with an innocent look.

“Fine. But I hope it is only that.” He says.

“Okay.” I say.

Theo plays with my hair for a few minutes, then finally puts his arm around me. Slowly, he nuzzles my hair and I take his other hand in mine and draw circles in the palm of his hand with my finger. I can literally feel that passion in the air which I felt that night in London.

I look up to see if he feels it too, but the second I look, I am ambushed by his lips. He kisses me like a man thirsty for ages. I kiss him back and wrap my arms around his shoulder. He wraps my legs around his waist and I am on his lap.

I roam my hands down his neck, but the shirt is making me crazy. I open his shirt button and we both sigh in our kiss when I feel his skin against my curious hands. I wrap my hands around his neck, then go down the shoulders, then chest. I can’t stop myself anymore and break the kiss, to kiss him down his neck, my obsession.

I hear Theo’s grunt and feel his fingers in my hair when I shower his neck and shoulder with the open-mouth kiss, which he did that night. His skin tastes salty but warm and ever so good. I never knew I would be like this, this free with him.

It doesn’t feel odd doing this. It feels so natural and great. I don’t think I would feel like this with anyone. Maybe because I don’t want to. Because I think Theo is the best for me ever.

He holds me by my hair and so I look at him. He grins like it is his turn to return the favour. And what a toe-curling favour it is. I am shocked to hear my own moans when he kisses the skin above my cleavage.

He slowly pushes one strap down the shoulder and moves me closer to him. The friction is just like the last time, but so much more intense. But when he puts his lips on my breast, I don’t think I am even conscious of this world anymore.

His kisses, nibbles and sucking and then my brushing against him down there as I can’t stop, builds the passion. I run my finger through his hair and wait for that blissful moment to come, which I have been waiting for so many months now.

And I am just on the brink, but then comes a loud knock and there goes everything. Theo stops kissing me and looks at the door and stops my hips from moving. If only I had one last brush, I would not be going through this frustration again.

“I should have taken the offer when Dad gave me one.” I mumble in his neck.

“What offer?” Theo asks, his voice rough and confused.

“Having a gun.” I say and get up from his lap and straighten my dress.

“Will you really kill someone?” He asks.

“I would, in the mood I am.” I say and go towards the door to see through the peephole to see it is my sweet neighbour.

“Here, wear this robe.” He says and I take it without touching him and he raises his brow.

“Sorry, I would go berserk if you touch me right now if it does not end well.” I say, and his phone rings.

“I have to take this.” He says and goes into my bedroom.

The knock comes again and I open the door and say, “Yes. How are you, Haley?”

“Hi! I hope I have not disturbed you, but I am here for everyone to chip in for a small party we would arrange for Joe’s birthday. His father died earlier this year and his Mom is making ends meet. So we thought to make his day best.” Haley says.

“I know Joe. He is such a sweet little boy. Am I invited to his party?” I ask as I take my purse from the table beside the kitchen.

“You are. Actually, I was hoping you would help us with the decoration. He loves animals.” She says.

“Well then, it is done. I am helping tomorrow and I will also make cupcakes with animal faces on them, because I am an excellent artist, according to me.” I say and give her some bucks.

“Thank you for your kindness.” She says.

“No. Thank you for being so caring.” I say and she waves and I close the door.

“That was pretty nice of you. I thought you would be rude.” Theo says as he comes out.

“I would have been if it were a rude person. But Haley is a nice girl.” I say and keep my purse away.

“Well, it is time for me to leave.” He says.

“What?” I ask in shock and look at him.

“I am sorry. Noah called and asked me to go out for a drink with him.” He says.

“One day, I will kill you Theo.” I say and go to take wine to the fridge and other things from the coffee table.

“Hey!” Theo says and grabs my arm to take me in his arms. “I am sorry this didn’t go well. But at least I didn’t sleep with you on the first date.”

“That is all you care about?” I ask accusingly.

“I am sorry again.” He says, “Are you free next weekend?”

“Yes. No.” I say.

“What does that mean?” He asks.

“I mean, I have booked a weekend getaway in Savannah.” I say.

“Great. What about I accompany you?” He asks.

“You will?” I ask in surprise.

“Yes. If you don’t mind?” He says.

“I wouldn’t.” I immediately say with a smile.

“Great. Then maybe next time no one would disturb us.” He says.

“That would be heaven.” I say.

“Okay. I am leaving. Send me the details about it later.” He says and goes to kiss me, but I back away.

“Sorry. I am still a bit on edge.” I say sheepishly.

“That’s okay. Bye.” He says and opens the door.

“Wait.” I say and grab his sleeves with one hand and collar with another and kiss him, “Bye.”

He smiles and leaves after giving me one more peck. I close the door and go to take a cold shower.

What a night!

I have to wait another week to be with him, to have him all to myself. Well, I can do that. I have waited over two months, I can wait more. But not more than that.

Next day, I got my car delivered to me and along with it a bouquet of white daisies and pink poppies. I smile when I read the note with Theo’s beautiful calligraphy.

‘Hope you take me for a long drive and more.’

“I would love to.” I say to myself, and thank the man who delivered it.

My parents come with breakfast to meet me, and I take them for a drive and movies. It was a fun day. I also tell them I am going away on a weekend trip to Savannah. They told me I should as once my firm starts to work, I won’t have enough time to enjoy myself. They understand me so well.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I will make sure that I enjoy this weekend to the fullest with my secret boyfriend.

My dashing Theo!
