Wanted

“Hey um, I’m ready if you are? I mean I’m not in any kind of hurry or anything I just……” She trailed off as she looked me up and down. She started chewing on her bottom lip. I reached over and tilted her head up towards me and pulled her lip out from her teeth.

“That lip is too soft and beautiful to be abused like that sweetheart.” I said as I smiled down at her. I was pretty sure I saw her whole body shake. A blush started to creep into her cheeks. Damn, it was one of the sexiest things I had ever seen.

“Right….um…so are you ready to go? I just need a bag or something to clean out my locker.” Ellie said as she looked around at everything but me.

“WOW…your room is so…….clean.”

“Why thank you sweetheart. I’m sure my mom would appreciate knowing that all those years of bitching at me to keep my room neat paid off.” I said with a laugh.

Ellie let out a giggle and looked up me.

Jesus….the moment her eyes met mine I swear I forgot how to breathe. I leaned down towards her only to have her look away and take a step back.

Shit.

“Um, okay well let’s find you a bag or something shall we?” I said as I moved passed her and headed down the hall to the kitchen. FUCK. I need to remember what Jeff said…..She needed time and here I was trying to fucking kiss her every chance I could. What the fuck was wrong with me? Christ….I need to think about something else…..football….nope that won’t work…. fucking football gives me a hard on…..puppies……dogs….I think I would like to get a dog…..what kind of dog? I wonder what kind of dogs Ellie likes.

Okay…I will think of dogs every time I have the urge to kiss her.

Oh what the hell Gu

“You sure seem lost in thought.”

I was now standing in the middle of the kitchen…just standing there thinking about fucking dogs. I shrugged my shoulders and started digging through the drawer where Jeff keeps all the extra bags.

“How big of a bag do you need?”  Silence…….

”Ellie?” I stood up and she was standing there just staring at me.

“Ellie what’s wrong? Hey….can you tell me what is wrong sweetheart?” I squatted down so I could look in her face. She seemed so lost…what I would not do to crawl in that brain and figure shit out for her.

“I….I don’t know what is wrong Gu

I placed my hands on her shoulders and turned her around to look at me. Oh Jesus H. Christ she was crying. My heart just took a nose dive right into my stomach. I reached up and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her beautiful face. She gave me a weak smile.

“Oh god I’m so sorry. You must thing I’m a nut case….I’m so sorry Gu

She smelt like Daisies again. I felt my dick getting hard just from having her up against my body.

Holy fuck…….what am I suppose to be thinking about again?

DOGS!…..Golden retrievers, Labs….yellow, black or brown? Big dog or little dog, German Shorthair Pointer??

“Ellie it’s going to be okay sweetheart I promise you it will be okay. I know this is a scary time but you are smart and you can do anything you put your mind to. Please don’t let something your mother tells you to ever let you doubt yourself. I know what it feels like to have someone tell you that all you will ever do is fail.” I said as I took a deep breath and buried my nose in her hair. My god….daisies….all I could smell where daisies.

Ellie looked up at me confused. “What do you mean you know what it feels like to have someone tell you all you will do is fail? Gu

I just laughed and gave her shoulders a squeeze. “Come on Ells, let’s get this show on the road….we have a locker to clean out and a coffee shop to hit up!”

I reached down and grabbed a couple plastic grocery bags. Ellie walked back into Jeff’s room and came out carrying her overnight bag and her backpack.

“Here, let’s switch.” I said as I took her bags from her and gave her the plastic bags.

“I got off pretty easy on this exchange!” Ellie said with a light laugh. Thank god…she was no longer upset. Gesh, how I would like to just knock some sense into that mother of hers, but from experience I knew it would do no good.

We headed out the door and made our way to my truck. I’m not sure why I was so excited to see her sitting next to me in my truck. I’ve had plenty of girls in my truck in the last three years but no girl was or would ever be like Ellie.

CHAPTER ELEVEN

ELLIE ……….

The moment his fingers touched my face as he wiped away my tears I felt the electricity zip through my whole body. His eyes showed so much worry in them that they made my stomach twist in knots. I know he is just concerned because I’m his best friend’s sister but…..

No…I couldn’t let myself think that way. Then he dropped the bomb shell on me! Who was it he was talking about? Who said Gu

We headed out the door and started towards Gu

He walked to the passenger side of the truck and opened the back door and put my bags in. Then he opened the front door and held my arm as he helped me in.

“Did you remember to get your pain pills Ells?” Gu

“You are so goddamn cute you know that?!” He looked like he wanted to lean down and kiss me….YES!.....Come on!!!….A little more….more….just a little closer…..

“What’s your favorite dog?” Gu

“Um?” What the fuck? That just came out of nowhere. Holy shit! Here I thought he was thinking of kissing me and he was thinking of…….dogs?

“Think about it!” He said as he smiled and shut the door.

I watched him walk around the front of the truck and there went those hands threw that beautiful hair. I’m pretty sure he does that when he is nervous or upset. God it is one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen. What is he nervous about?

Dogs? I’m so confused by this guy.

Gu

“What is it? What’s so fu

“Nothin’, you just look damn good sitting in my truck sweetheart that’s all!” Gu

“Oh okay!”
