Down the Rabbit Hole (Stuck On You)

Chapter 11: Maybe

"You drive me crazy, you know that?" he whispered. I smiled smugly. It was the little moments like this that I actually liked Hayden. He leaned down and kissed me gently. I pushed him back. I looked at him and bit my lip softly.

"Beg and I can drive you even crazier," I smirked. He groaned and closed his eyes briefly. I smiled and went to kiss his cheek. He turned his head at the last second to meet my lips with his. I laughed and turned to walk to my room. He followed me.

"I have to take a shower," I said over my shoulder. Hayden jogged past me and laid out on my bed. He smirked at me and put his hands behind his head. I sighed before I pulled off my dress. I tossed it in my hamper and went to my drawers to grab a big shirt and some shorts. I felt arms go around my waist. Hayden kissed my neck before I moved his hands from my hips. "Hayden, stop, I'm tired and I need to take a shower," I said. He chuckled and kissed my ear.

"But Jo," he said mocking me. I pushed his hands off of me again. I laughed and turned to him. He raised an eyebrow at me. "You can't just go flashing around lace underwear like that and expect me not to do anything," he said. I slipped past him and headed to my bathroom. He got a hold of my hand.

"Hayden, stop playing around. Let me go," I laughed. He kissed me deeply and wrapped his arm around my waist again. I fell back on my bed and squealed. He smiled and ran his hand down my side. He kissed me again and I let my eyes close. He groaned and I chuckled. "You're impossible," I muttered against his lips. I felt him smile. His fingers ran against the underwire of my bra.

"Feel like begging?" he muttered. I pushed him back and laughed as I shook my head.

"I feel like taking a shower," I said, snaking around him to stand up. His eyes ran over my body and I laughed. I jokingly did a little turn and swiveled my hips. He bit his lip gently and looked over my body again. I laughed before I grabbed my change of clothes before I walked into my bathroom. After my shower, I walked out to find Hayden still lying on my bed. He was in different clothes, so I assumed that he went to take a shower as well. He held his arms out for me. I chuckled and took the towel off of my head. My hair was back to its normal curly state, only it was damp now too.

"So how was your date?" Hayden asked. I walked over and straddled his lap. I smiled down at him.

"It was good. I still don't see why it's any of your business," I said. He sat up so that I was just sitting on his lap. His face was inches from mine.
