patience and forgiveness inside of you that has to be rare. I’ve been a real jerk over the years and yet, you still seem to always give me a second chance. So, thank you.”
My jaw dropped to the floor as I watched him speak the words. Never in his life had he said something so kind and genuine. I started to wonder just what kind of tequila we were drinking. It was acting more like a truth serum than alcohol. An even more unique side of Danny was becoming exposed.
“Wait, did you just...thank me?” I asked.
I had to get the affirmation, or else I wouldn’t have believed it. Danny nodded and then reached his hand forward, bringing his glass to mine.
“Thank you,” he repeated.
Then he took the shot. I watched him in silence for a bit, still shocked by what he had said. He was so different. I couldn’t even look at him as the same person that I used to know. After a moment, I took the shot, this one burning much less than the first one. I started to feel the alcohol fill my blood, and a warm sensation coursed through my body. The buzz was kicking in.
“You sure have a way of surprising me,” I said, as I set the glass back on the table. “I feel like this is the first time you’ve ever shown me who you really are.”
Danny began pouring another shot for us. “I’ve just had a few humbling experiences lately. The motorcycle thing earlier was definitely one of them, but that’s not all. I guess joining the Marines caused me to grow up. When I first got back, I tried really hard to be the same Danny that you used to know. That’s why I pulled your hair and gave you crap when I first walked in the door. I wanted things to feel like normal. I wanted everything to be the same as it always has been. But it’s not any more, Nikki. Things just aren’t the same. I’ve changed, you’ve changed and even our parents have changed. But I think I’ve changed more than anybody.”
He let out a long sigh and then sat back on the couch. I looked him over, noticing how the top button of his shirt was undone. His muscular, tattooed chest was exposed and I couldn’t help but sneak a glance before bringing my eyes back up to his.
“I guess you’re right,” I responded. “We’ve all changed. Maybe we’ve all grown up over the past year.”
Danny nodded as he stared at me. Then I watched his eyes slowly moved down to my chest and then back up.
“Yeah,” he agreed. “I’d say we’ve all grown up.”
The sexual tension in the air was obvious. It might have been the tequila that was triggering it. I wasn’t sure. All I knew was that I could feel it. It was like an invisible pull, drawing my energy toward him. I found myself scooting a bit closer. Our thighs weren’t more than an inch apart. The heat from our bodies collided. I wanted so badly to lean into him, kiss him, taste him. It was wrong, of course. But I was starting to care less and less about that. I wanted to feel him like I had in my dreams. I wanted to see that side of Danny, too.
Our eyes were locked and I began to lean toward him. The invisible force had complete control over me. The attraction between us was like a magnet, electrified and powerful, causing my body to move toward his without the approval of my mind. When our faces got near, the strength of the magnet increased. My lips hovered in front of his, and his green eyes gleamed in the light of the living room.
Just one kiss. That’s all. Just a kiss.
Again, it may have been the tequila talking. Or maybe it was simply the truth finally coming out. I wanted him. I wanted him badly. I guess the tequila finally exposed that. And judging by the fact that Danny had done nothing to stop me from getting close to him, I had to assume that he felt the same way.
Just a single kiss, that’s all.
Danny brought his face toward mine. Our lips grazed each other’s, just barely touching. It sent a tingle through my body and caused the desire between my legs to increase substantially. Then he did
