10. Abel

Abel

I smiled at the sight of my girl and her sister sitting and laughing and god only knew what. Abby liked to say Karol and her were night and day different. And I could see where she was coming from, but they had somethings seriously in common. They were amazing women. The two of them.

I felt my best friend move behind me before he tapped the icy bottle on my shoulder, and I turned to look at him over my shoulder.

"So, I gotta ask man," he started to say and I bit away a groan. I knew where this was going. Exactly where it was going. So much so, I was actually surprised we hadn't had this conversation earlier. But then again, any spare moment I had I liked spending it with Abby and Dan liked to spend it with Karol.

I love her. I cut him off and met his gaze head on. No, I know that. I've known that. But what I wanna know is how did this happen? You waited how long to approach her, why now?"

I don't know man. I shrugged and took a healthy sip of the cool beer. Maybe you inspired me. his brows bunched like he was trying to figure out if I was fucking with him or not. I sighed and glanced over at my princess jsyt in time to see her shyly glance over at me too. when our eyes met, I felt like I could breathe completely, fully.

"You saw a shooting star?" He asked and I shook my head.

"Na man, not that lucky." I mumbled before winking at my girl and turning my attention back at Dan. "I don't know, Danny. I saw you and how you dove right in and shit if your dumbass could manage love…" I teased.

"Shut the fuck up." he playfully flipped me the bird while the two of us had shit eating grins.

"I thought about how happy you looked at the game. How Karol was with you. I wanted that. I'd been waiting like an idiot and I don't know… I was done waiting you know?" I asked and he nodded.

"I'm just asking because?—"

"Because you're worried about your girl's sister." I guessed and he nodded.

"There is absolutely nothing to be worried about with me Dan. You know I wouldn't go there, not with her, if it didn't mean something."

"And does it? Mean something?" He asked even though I had a feeling he knew the answer.

"She means everything." I still answered and his face transformed into the biggest smile. One I sure as fuck wasn't used to seeing from Dan, but love changed a man.

We spent the afternoon with Karol and Dan at my place.

Watching my best friend with his girl, how deep he had fallen was fucking incredible. I was more than happy for him and the fact I had a feeling one day, sooner than later, we'd be in-laws, was just the icing on the cake. Karol had even pulled me aside and had shocked me with a hug, thanking me for helping her sister with her fears. A part of me had felt like a dick. If I had tried to help earlier, if I hadn't wasted time, Abby would have conquered her fears earlier. Or not.. I had hugged her back and told her just how much I loved her sister.

That had been three hours ago.

"What's my girl thinking about?" I asked when we stepped back into my place, our place soon. I followed her to the kitchen. It was finally just the two of us. Not that I hadn't had a good time with Dan and Karol, but I was craving some alone time with my princess.

"That I like seeing Karol all enamorada. Being in love looks good on her." I nodded because I got what she meant. I was happy for Dan.

"Good." I muttered leaning against the counter as I stared at her. I knew better than to try to stop her from fluttering about the kitchen while she wrapped up the leftovers and put them away. She had the fridge open when she turned around with a sneaky little smile on her face. A look that had my body aching really fucking quick.

"What's that look?" I asked. I knew Abby well. That little sneaky smirk had my cock hardening even further.

"I was thinking about our lessons."

"Babe—"

"And if maybe you'd be up for one tonight?"

"You still wanna keep doing them?" I asked with my arms crossed over my chest. My princess' gaze dropped to my biceps, and she licked her lips like she was hungry. When that dark gaze met mine my chest went all warm and fuzzy.

"If it's with you Abel, I wanna keep learning for a lifetime."

"Fuck yeah you will." My jaw clenched and my arms dropped to my side. "What were you thinking about trying out?" I rasped and watched my girl lean into the fridge and turn with a brand new can of whip cream. Oh fuck yes, lessons were on! My mouth started to water at all the ways we were about to use that whipped cream.

"Just remember baby girl," I started to warn as I pushed off the counter. I slowly started my way towards her. "It's gonnna be slippery when wet." I said the moment she was within reach. I lifted my curvy princess up in my arms and she purred, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Lucky me." She murmured before her lips found mine.

We kissed as I carried her to our room all the while thinking, I was the lucky one in this situation.

Really fucking lucky.
