Sleeping With the Enemy

Chapter 6: Something Sweet

"I wish you stop walking past the tv." He said

"Shut up, its on commercial. I'm looking for something." I said and finally sat down next to him.

"Or you just want me to see you." He said while turning the TV up.

"What?"

"Taylor you got a humungous living room, if you was looking for something, you could've went the other way around to look for it, instead you go in front of the tv, the only place my attention will be diverted." He explained

"What— no-"

"I'm a lawyer, you know I notice all of that, now will you excuse me." He said and directed his attention to the TV.

I wanted to kick him for unfolding me so well.

Granted what he said had some truth to it, but I didn't want him to know that. Truthfully I'm glad he decided to stay over to watch the game, I get to observe who he is outside of work, and plus as you all know, I like him just a bit.

"Is this basketball or football?" I asked

"One thing you need to remember is, whenever I'm watching the game, it's never basketball. I'm not a basketball type of person- it's always football. Never one or the other." He explained

I nodded, "Would you like some water or anything?"

"Well since you keep asking, waitress, yes I would." He said

I smiled lightly while standing up and going into my kitchen.

I grabbed a bottle of Voss water that was in my refrigerator and took it to him.

"Oh you fancy fancy." He said and took it from my hand

"Wait—" he abruptly said while I was mid sit-down.

"You got some snacks? Some chips or some?" He asked

I sighed and stood back up, "Of course I do." I said and went into the kitchen. I grabbed a few of the small bags of chips I kept in my cabinet and a few mini packs of candy, I'm sure he likes majority of these.

I sat the chips and candy on the coffee table.

He put his feet that rested on my couch onto the floor so he could sit up, "Well damn you got the whole candy store don't you?" He asked while stuffing a few packs into his jacket.

"I have a major craving for sweets sometimes, and put my candy back. I'm offering you some while you're here, not for you to take for hard times."

He chuckled, "I have cravings for something sweet sometimes too." He said and licked his bottom lip and smirking afterwards. When he licked his lip I got a glimpse of his dimples, and it made me melt all over, including the lip licking part.

I raised my left eyebrow, with a smirk planted on my face as well. I hope he isn't hinting towards anything nasty because— I'm all for it. Bet y'all thought I was gone be against it, nope, I'm ready to hop on him any day.

"Oh okay." I said, let's not put it into action until after all business is taken care of.

"So can I take it or not?" He asked

I smiled, "Go ahead, but you owe me." I said

"I'm gone win this case, that's enough payback there." He said

I sucked my teeth, "I'm playin', I gotchu. I got something sweet for you." He said and sat back onto the couch while opening a bag of chips.

I smiled.
