CHAPTER 19

JOHN’S POV

For what seemed liked the hundredth time this evening, I glanced over at Maxine. The way she looked tonight put the stars in the sky to shame. Honestly, she was a radiating beauty. Everything about her, from her long smooth legs to neatly style hair was just perfect. I was suddenly thanking every force on this earth that had allowed me to go on this date with her. I really couldn’t thank them enough.

‘I hope you enjoyed yourself tonight.’ I smiled at her as we drove up to the front of her house.

She smiled widely and looked over straight into my eyes.

‘I think this is the first time that I’ve heard your not-so- egotistic self come out.’

I laughed at that.

Throughout the night, I had come across as a man who had been sure of myself when in truth, Maxine had me feeling like a guy on his first date with his first crush. She had me cracking cheesy lines and repeating compliments over and over again. Maxine was having a massive effect on me and I wasn’t sure I was able to hide it anymore.

‘John? Are you ok?’

It was then that I realised that I’d been staring dumbfoundedly at Maxine’s face not saying a word.

I shook my head, clearing foggy thoughts out of my brain and sighing to relieve myself from acting like an awkward teenager.

‘Yes, I’m fine. I just zoned out just looking at you.’

‘Are you trying to call my face boring?’ she gasped as if I had attacked her from behind.

‘Oh goodness no. Nothing like that. I didn’t mean it in that way.’

Maxine laughed at my embarrassing haste to correct myself.

I didn’t want to sit down watching her laugh at me, so I opened the door on my side, walked over slowly to her side and opened her door.

My heart literally stopped a little as she walked out of my car looking like a superstar and smiling angelically at me.

‘I hope you’re not upset with me?’ she asked in amusement.

I put my arms around her to draw her closer to my body warmth and to feel her body next to mine as we began walking towards her apartment.

‘Nope. Although, I have no idea why you would think that anyway.’ I frowned at her.

‘Would you like to come in for a drink?’ she asked once we reached her door.

I faced her fully and looked down at the perfect figure standing before me. Her beautiful brown eyes gazed up at me in hope that my answer to her question would be one that would make her happy.

I laughed internally at her adorable and yet sexy she looked right now. I wonder if she knew the effect she was beginning to have on me.

‘Would you like me to?’ I asked her.

‘Would I have asked if I didn’t want you to John. Like, seriously?’

‘Well some people only ask that question out of courtesy. Sometimes, they don’t actually want people to come inside and have a drink, they just want to be polite to the person.’ I retorted back at her.

‘Well take into account, the fact that I’m not ‘some people’. I am Maxine Rivers.’

I laughed at the way she stated that last sentence and chuckled a little at how she looked. Her eyes were glinting in the though it was quite dark, and her lips were set in a defensive tone and I couldn’t help but take her cute lips into mine and kiss her. instantly, her arms went around me as if on cue and she returned the kiss immediately-without hesitation. She moaned slightly and I took that as a cue to pull her, even closer than before, towards me so that I could feel the softness of her breasts against my body. I licked along the entrance of her lips and drank in the intoxicating scent that was: Maxine Rivers. Her scent drifted up my nostrils and invaded every cell in my brain making me delve deeper into her mouth. Her delicious, beautiful mouth. She moaned again as our tongues battled together before pulling away brutally quickly and touching her forehead against mine.

‘We can’t be having heated kisses out in the public like this Mr Grays’ she smiled seductively, biting her lip making me want to show her the true meaning of a heated kiss.

‘Give me ten good reasons why.’ I smiled back at her.

‘Because this is a friendly neighbourhood where mothers trust that ladies are not having heated kisses with their boss on their doorstep.’

I laughed at her reason and said:

‘Ok, nine more to go.’

She smiled and hit me on the chest.

‘You know you can’t not come in after that little kiss right there’ she said with one eyebrow raised and a hand on her hip.

‘Such appalling English. Absolutely appalling.’

‘You don’t like me because of my English so I don’t care.’ She childishly stuck her tongue at me.

‘Watch it, before I capture your tongue in my mouth.’ I threatened.

She laughed in reply.

‘You say that like it’s a bad thing.’

‘How about we test whether or not we both think it’s bad thing or not?’ I questioned-the mischief clear in my voice.

She smiled broadly.

‘Yes. Why not? After all, I wouldn’t want you to miss me so much you stand at the door and cry till you see me again.’

Maxine scoffed and laughed afterwards.

‘Do you know what? Never mind. See you at work Mr. Grays.’

In one swift movement, which I had not seen coming, Maxine quickly opened the door, entered and shut the door in my face. It took me about ten seconds to realize what had just taken place. My brain took its time processing the events that took place within seconds, and by then, the door was already closed.  I opened my mouth in shock as I had seen that coming. At all. No woman had ever done that to me and I felt like hitting myself on the head. My big head had gotten me into this. My jokes about being over confident were getting me into trouble. I didn’t have time to beat myself up about it though, because as soon as the first incident had happened, the second incident happened just as quick.

The door was swiftly opened, I was pulled into Maxine’s apartment and the door was closed again. And this time, I wasn’t on the receiving end of it thank goodness. I was still in shock from the first door slamming incident, and now I had the second one to process. I looked down at the mischievous woman who was holding my waist. She was smiling at me with a small devious glint in her eye, and her pink lips were closed firmly.

‘I couldn’t wait till work to see you. Hope you don’t mind.’

To this I responded by lifting her up against me and kissing her senseless.
