Chance Encounters

I hit the pause button pushing the blanket off of me and setting my coffee on the coaster in front of me as I headed towards my front door. Hearing a knock any time after six really wasn't odd as the Paulson's typically would bring over some pastries they had made for breakfast thinking that Liam and I would like to have some and on a rare occasion they would stop over for coffee with me in the morning just to check in and see if I was doing okay. I reached the door, gently turning both the deadbolt and the small lock before swinging it open with a smile. I took in a sharp, but surprised, breath at the person standing in front me.

"Morning lil miss, I hope you don't mind, I just couldn't be away from you any longer" he smiled, his hands in his pockets and his head tilted to the side just slightly. I looked him over slowly giving him a shy smile. He was wearing a pair of black joggers that sat perfectly on his hips, and a purple butterfly shirt. His white vans were comfortably on his feet and a black Carhartt hat on his head, I chuckled to myself wondering how he still managed to look so good so early in the morning. I shook my head softly flashing him a small smile as I walked up to him, immediately wrapping my arms around his waist, resting my head on his chest breathing in his delicious scent, his arms wrapping around me, an overwhelming comfortable feeling washing over me like a warm ray of sunshine, his chin resting gently on my head.

"I missed you" I said quietly, the words flowing off of my lips without even passing through my mind before it could decide if they were words that I should be saying right now. I felt him squeeze me gently at my words his hands slowly rubbing up and down my back as he gently pressed his lips to the top of my head. I pulled away from him looking up at him, his face shaded by the brim of his hat casting a shadow over it. I reached up pulling the hat off of his head so I could see him better, an instant smile spreading across my face when I saw his crystal blue eyes looking down at me with happiness radiating out of them. "Morning baby" I said to him with a smile.

"It sounds even better in person than it does over the phone" he smiled, putting his index finger under my chin as he tilted my head to be in perfect position for him to press his lips softly against mine, my eyes fluttering closed at the glorious feeling before he pulled away from me. "Well are you going to invite me in lil miss? I didn't drive all the way over here to catch a glimpse of you in your doorway and leave" he smirked.

"Oh right" I said giving my forehead a slight tap with the palm of my hand. "Austin it's so nice to see you, would you like to come in?" I said holding out my hand to him as he placed his in mine gently flashing me his perfect smile.

"I thought you were never gonna to ask lil miss" he laughed rolling his eyes as he followed me into my house closing the door behind him. I was just about to walk with him into the kitchen when I felt him gently tug on my hand pulling me back towards him. He let go, the spaces between my fingers instantly craving to be filled by his once again as soon as they left, only to rest them around my waist. "Now I can give you a proper good morning lil miss" he smiled.

I felt my breath catch in my throat as my heart put itself into overdrive, beating so rapidly I was surprised that he couldn't physically see it doing so. Our eyes danced together wildly, as he slowly started to lean in to me, the tip of his nose brushing against mine softly sending a fresh round of goosebumps to flow across my body like a wave starting from my toes and ending in my head. Before I even had a chance of making the move, his lips connected with mine with such desire I had thought that I was surely going to melt into a puddle on the floor if it wasn't for him holding me tightly against him. His lips moved slowly over mine momentarily before I felt the tip of his tongue gently gliding over my bottom lip, asking for permission to take it further much like he did the first night he was here. I didn't hesitate as I allowed him to do so, our tongues dancing together as the electricity between us started bursting like fireworks.
