Taking Shots

Bad girlie parts!
“Sure,” she said breathlessly.
“Cool. Where did you park?”
“Over by the Sportsplex.”
“Awesome, me too. We can walk together.”
She smiled and they started walking in silence. Not weird silence but comfortable silence. How she had became so comfortable with him so quickly was beyond her, but she would never let him know. He probably thought they were becoming friends. She was someone to teach him things, since he was obviously not good with technology.
I am not girlfriend material.
Duh.
When Elli saw her truck, her heart dropped to her stomach. This was the end. No telling if he would ever have contact with her again. He would be nice, of course. The occasional hello if they ever ran into each other. But this was the end of probably one of the best afternoons of her life.
“Where’s your car?” he asked as she started towards her truck.
“My truck is right here,” Elli said, pointing to her truck. Every time a guy saw her truck, his eyes got big, his mouth dropped open some, and he gave her the ‘you’ gotta be kidding me’ look. She expected it, liked it even.
“That’s your truck?!”
“Yeah, why?”
“I expected you to drive something small, like a Beetle.”
“Why, because I’m a girl?!”
“No. Well, maybe…that’s a big damn truck!” Elli ran her hand lovingly down the side of her baby. Along with her house, it was one of her favorite things.
“It is big, but I like big things if you haven’t noticed: my dog, my truck-“
“Maybe your men?”
Elli choked on the words that were trying to leave her mouth as her face became deep red in a matter of seconds, as Shea laughed.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”
“I’m not embarrassed,” she lied, not looking in his eyes.
“Actually, you are. You’re bright red!”
“Oh, hush,” she said, smacking him on the arm. Was she flirting? Jesus, what the hell was wrong with her? She glanced up at him and he was grinning at her, making her feel even more stupid. She looked away to unlock her doors.
“So, can I get your number?” She looked over her shoulder at him as she laid her bag down.
“Oh, of course,” she muttered. She rattled the numbers off when he got his phone out. He pushed a button, and then her phone started ringing.
“For when you want to call me,” he said with a grin as he fiddled with his phone.
“Oh, okay,” she said with a nervous giggle as she saved his number. When she looked up from her phone, he was closer to her, his blue eyes piercing into hers. His jaw ticked at the side causing her eyes to drift down to his mouth.
Good golly, it was a pretty mouth. Such strong jaw bones, a little scar at the end of his chin. His lips looked so soft, so inviting.
“I had a great afternoon with you, Elli,” he said. Was he whispering? Was his voice husky?
Oh, God.
“Me too, one of the best ever.” She cringed at her nervous babble. God, she was an idiot. Shea gave her a sexy grin that she was starting to think he was born doing, and leaned closer to her. Her breath caught audibly, and he smiled again.
“Can I kiss you?” he whispered in a husky, manly, yummy voice. Elli could do nothing but nod and his lips were over hers within seconds. His lips were so warm, so strong, as his hand came up to her cheek, caressing her face softly.
She had never been kissed like this. When Justin would kiss her, it was quick and rushed, but Shea took his time, tasting her mouth as she did the same to him. When he pulled back, he smiled down at her.
“I’ll call you later?”
Elli’s head bounced up and down like a freaking bobble head.
“Bye, Elli.”
“Bye,” she said after he was already to his car.
What the hell just happened?
“He kissed you!” Harper bellowed through the house when Elli had relayed the afternoon to her.
“Oh, my God! Was it good?” Harper had come over for dinner and a movie, something they did a lot. Their other friends usually joined them, but tonight it was just her and Harper. Sometimes she liked it better that way.
“It was amazing,” Elli gushed out, “I don’t know why he did it though.”
“Because he likes you!”
“Oh, come on! Shea Adler like me? Elli Fisher? Please. I am nowhere near his type; he likes the leggy blondes with big boobs, small waists, and fake faces. I am not that kind of girl.”
“You don’t know his type, Elli. Plus you could give those blondes a run for their money! You’re beautiful.”
“I’m fat, and I guess okay looking. I’m not like them.”
“Oh, shut up!” Harper said, throwing a piece of popcorn at her. Elli giggled as she picked it up and put it in her mouth.
“I slept with Jakob again,” Harper confessed.
“Well, that came out of nowhere,” Elli said as Harper grinned widely at her, “Again? I thought that was a one-time deal.”
“Me too, but he kept calling me and then he showed up at my condo last night. I figured since he was there he might as well come on in and f**k my brains out. You know?”
“No. Actually, I don’t.”
Harper giggled. “That’s what you should do with Shea, just have him knock your boots off, and then be done with it. How long has it been since you’ve gotten any?”
“Sure,” she said breathlessly.
“Cool. Where did you park?”
“Over by the Sportsplex.”
“Awesome, me too. We can walk together.”
She smiled and they started walking in silence. Not weird silence but comfortable silence. How she had became so comfortable with him so quickly was beyond her, but she would never let him know.
