Babe

We decided to move me in on a Sunday. Sharon being Sharon, she was so supportive of it. I'd say we definitely grew on each other. She was the big sister I never have.

         For my first night moving in and all, Rick thought we should celebrate. Cliff picked up a case of beer, rolled a couple of joints and decided to order pizza for the night. He even brought over Brandy.

      "Cliffs shit at expressing his feeling, isn't he?" Rick asked.

"Sometimes." I said as I rubbed Brandy head as it was on my lap.

     "What are you guys talking about?" Cliff asked as he came into the room.

"Oh nothing." Rick said.

"Ready to smoke this?" Cliff asked as he held up the joint.

"You two go ahead, I'm gonna keep Brandy some company." Rick said as he began to pet Brandy.

      "Suit yourself." Cliff said as I then followed him outback.

He took the joint, pressed it between his lips, took a match to it then inhaled. After he took a couple hits, he passed to me as I did the same, repeat.

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you." Cliff said as he set his hands on my waist, looking up at me.

"Which is?" I asked as I looked down at him.

"When we first met it's like we instantly clicked-

  "Is Cliff Booth confessing his love for me?" I asked.

"He said something didn't he?" He asked as he referred to Rick.

"He did." I said.

"Can't keep his mouth shut for shit." He said.

"He's excited, he knows." I said.

"Knows what?" Cliff asked.

"How we feel about each other." I said.

"How do you feel about me?" He asked.

          "I'm in love with you, I have been for awhile. It's like we instantly clicked and somehow created this connection, words can't explain." I said.

I watch as his face lit up, then placing his hands on my face, cupping it. As if we had the same mind, our lips touched.

His arms snaked around my body as his hands connected to my ass then lifting me up, not breaking the kiss. And by the minutes, our kiss got more aggressive as we were craving each other.

   "Knowing how much I would love to do you out here, I recommend we take this into the bedroom."
Cliff said as he pulled away.

    "Agreed, for Ricks sake." I said.

"For Ricks sake." He agreed.

      He slowly put me down, then grabbing onto my hand and leading me back inside.

   "Rick?" Cliff called out.

"I'm heading to bed." Rick said as he came around the corner.

      "So are we." Cliff replied.

"Goodnight Rick." I yelled from my doorway.

       "Goodnight Tracy." I heard him yell back.

"So where were we?" I asked as Cliff came into the room, closing the door behind him.

        "I think it was something like this." Cliff said as his hand cupped my face, his lips reattaching to mine.

    Cliff sat down onto the bed, not letting go I sat on his lap.
