Eight
Eve
It has been a long week. Things with Dr. Adam have been a bit more tight than usual thought I have caught him looking at me several times but we never exchanged a word a simple nod did it. And now when I think, what happened back at home feels like something that came out of my imagination and strange coz I don't imagine stuff like that.
However, its Sunday and Lili's friend gave her two free pass to one of the elite clubs in town and like a good friend that she is and taking pity on my situation with Dr. Adam she pulled me along with her. Her words to be exact "to forget a handsome man is to find a better". Well, though I highly doubt that I'll find someone, I did not see any harm in tagging along. But the dress she made me ware that's something I would have never dared to. It's way to tight and way to short and the oh! so red and oh! so high heels... all in all they are far from my comfort zone but they also make me feel confident in a sexy way. Something I didn't know I could be.
"We have been siting hear like forever let's dance" Lili yells above the loud music.
"I think I would like that"
We have drowned quite a few rounds of drinks from past half an hour and I am bold enough to hit the dance floor. I am not a fan of drinking but I think today we can make it an exception. I need to blur out things, need to supress strange feelings, need to release the tension that's humming within me. So, the drinking and dancing.
Lost in the music head thrown back sweat dripping I dance and dance until all the things fade away the burn the ache and the unwanted feelings. When the world in front of my eyes starts to blur all of a sudden, I am steadied by two very firm hands on my waste. I look back to protest but am held captive by a pair of flaming black eyes I am becoming familiar to... Dr. freaking Adam stands behind me with all his glory his smell envelops around me making me dizzy.
It took me a while to respond but it was the same as it would have been to a stranger, to pull away and give him a dead stair. But my failed attempt to pull away from him only made his grip on me even tighter burning my skin at the place of contact. I turn around in his arms to fully face. I might not be fully sober but I very well know that this is bad, I came here to get away from him haunting my thoughts and here I am held captive in his arms, let's not forget very strong arms that are revelled by rolled up sleeves showing his thick vein's. One of my weakness for men if I must say. My head slowly moves up to his chest that's barely contained by the black shirt that he is wearing with the first few buttons undone when I finally meet his eyes they are taking me in just as I did him, they rake over my body leaving a burning sensation in its awake.
It's barely been a minute but the shear thought of him holding me in this tight space packed with people has my breath uneven and my heart beating faster than it should and I know for sure this is really bad like really, really bad.
Something has been simmering under the surface for days between us and today I fear it might just be the day it all choose to surface.
"Let me go"
I place my hand on his chest and give it a push, to create some much needed distance between us. To my despair it was just another failed attempt. He does not budge. A smirk plays on his lips that I want to wipe off. His determined eyes stay on mine and I know he is not going to let go of me. An idea hits me and before I think it through my hips sway to Selina Gomez "calm down" the crowd goes wild around us the intoxication making me bold. I run my hand across his hard muscular chest halting momentarily above his heart that's beating as fast as mine until I drape them around his neck moving them further to run them through his soft strands. All while he stood head to foot icily still without a word and I gloat inwardly to have successfully replaced that smirk of his with a frown.
Two things might happen now, one he might back off since he is not a fan of dancing with me two he might not and the possibility of the lateral sends a wave of excitement run through me.
I hear him curse under his breath and just as I thought that he would move he yanks me further into him holding me flushed against his hard body rendering me motionless.I think my heart just stopped beating all of a sudden when he lowers his mouth to my ear, his warm breath feels dangerously close on my bare skin.
"You're killing me, angel. What are you even doing hear" he growls
Angel? Am I hearing words? And I am killing him? he is the one doing all the killing here.
I look at him in surprise and what does he even think he is and why can't I be hear anger bubbles inside of me and I yell over the loud music.
"It's a public place Mr. doctor"
I push off him with both my hands and turn around to dance with a group of guys with whom lily was dancing a while ago though I can't see her now must have gone to get a drink or...
I can feel his gaze penetrating my back. A tall blond amongst them occupies my personal space getting uncomfortably close to me but I don't back off. not when I can feel Dr. Adam gaze penetrating my back. He brings one of his hand to my waste and even before he so much as touches me, I am pulled back into the safety of Dr. Adam's arms once again. The guy try to protest but is silenced with a killer stare.
"Really?" I ask
"If you want to dance you're dancing with me, angel"
Again angel? I must be more high than I think I am.
"The last time I checked you dint seem to like dancing with me" I throw at him.
"Quite the opposite" he says. His voice was taut with anger and his words throw me off.
This thing in not happening I need to breath relax and the dance floor is getting even more crowded every passing second leaving us no room to talk let alone stand keeping a safe distance so I pull him to the side. Music is still high so I lean into him and say
"Look, we can pretend you did not see me hear nor did I see you. You can have your merry time with..." I look around to see any fancy lady who must have accompanied him hear but couldn't. my heart constricts at the thought but why do care. Not finding any one in particular I continue
"Well... whomever you came here with and I well, I can find myself someone... who is not you"
I look at him hopeful. But soon the realization of what I just admitted sets in and I clamp my hand over my mouth to not let anything else slip away I certainly cannot have him know the affect he has on me.
His eyes go wide as he looks at me with amusement.
"What did you just say?"
"Nothing" I shake my head "nothing that should concern you Mr. Doctor"
"Noah" he says
"What?"
"My name, Noah Adam"
Fancy, I take a drink that was been carried by a waiter and gulp it in one short before I speak again.
"So, Mr. doctor Noah Adam we are good to go our way right?" I give him the best possible smile and turn around to look for Lili who is still MIA
"You are hear for what...Eve?" he growls from behind.
"Which part of none of your business don't you get?"
I am yanked to the wall and caged between him and the wall in mille seconds. His eyes travel to my lips and back
"You're looking for some guy to__" I cut him off I am done with him acting the way he is
"Replace, to get you out of mine. And your presence is not helping. Happy, so now will if you'll excuse me" I try to leave.
"Eve" one word and it sounds like heaven coming from him. Looking in to his black eyes that hold me captive with such intensity that it's getting hard to for me to breath. His body to close making my world shake.
"You should go" I tell him before I do something stupid like kissing him because he looks damn kissable right now.
"You're making this impossible." He throws a gesture between the two of us.
My lips struggle to form the word. "Us?"
As if there was an us to talk about.
"Yes, us" My confusion sharpened as Noha growled out his confirmation.
"This is my biggest failing. The one that keeps me up when I should be sleeping. The one that turns my morals inside out. The one that turns me into a complete bastard for wanting to gauge every man's eyes of off there head, that looks your way. I can't help myself when I know what is going on in the minds of every fu***** looking at you in this god damn dress it's like they want to..."
"Want to?"
He lets out a rough breath and without answering he continues
"I know it's none of my business but you can't be looking for someone else when you want_"
"I am more interested in what is going on in your mind" I say my voice more breathy.
"I am no saint, angel. His voice turned dark. Smoky.
"But that does not mean I am good for you"
"Stop, you can't say thing like that looking at me like you want to kiss me Dr. Adam"
"I don't" he says with horror in his voice but his eyes deceive him when they travel back to my lips just like they did a millionth time today.
"Off course you don't "
"Well then go back to the lady you came here with, poor thing must be looking for you and please leave me alone"
"What makes you think I am here with another women?"
"You are not? I mean its Sunday..."
"You don't understand Eve" he says leaning in closer. His eyes looking pained.
"And I don't want to"
I look into his black stormy eyes as I demand
"kiss me Noah"
