Wayne makes his move but makes the wrong move at the wrong time.
"Aren't you going to invite me inside for, um...coffee?"
As if he was locked out of her house and abandoned to wander the streets, Wayne looked behind her at her apartment while hoping for an invitation inside. Not interested in having a cup coffee, he was more interested in having sex.
"Inside my house?" She looked from him to her house before looking back at him as if he was asking her for money. "No, I can't do that," she said shaking her head from side to side as if she needed that extra measure of negativity to make him understand that no meant no. "Uh, uh. I, um, live with a roommate," she said skewing her face that made him suspect that she was lying.
She didn't mention a roommate over dinner. He figured someone who looked like her was too selfish to share her place and her life with anyone, especially with someone who looked like him. He figured she definitely lived alone. No doubt, someone who looked like her didn't want to share her bathroom and/or her mirrors with anyone else but herself. No doubt, someone who looked like her needed the personal privacy so that she could get ready for her day. No doubt, someone who looked like her needed her private space to have sex with whomever she wanted and whenever she wanted to invite someone in her bed.
"Oh," he said.
"I'm sure she's already sleeping by now," she said looking at her watch again and smiling up at him again.
A loss for words, "Oh," he said again.
In the way her eyebrows raised with her words, an involuntary reaction, he knew she was lying. He could just tell she was making excuses not to invite him inside.
"Besides, my place is such a frightful mess," she said. "I don't pick up the place until the weekend. I have clothes everywhere."
Believing some of the things she said and not others, he believed that she had clothes strewn everywhere. Just waiting for him to touch them, feel them, and sniff them, Wayne imagined her sexy bras and colorful, aromatic panties strewn everywhere. He'd love to be sitting in her house while she was in the kitchen making coffee while he was feeling her bras and sniffing her panties that were left all over the floor by his feet.
"I see," he said.
"And, a busy day with preparing for a staff meeting, I have to get up early for work tomorrow," she said making another excuse incase the first two excuses weren't enough. "You know me, the office manager and the first one in to open the doors and turn off the alarm."
"Some other time," he said overwhelmed with disappointment that he wouldn't be having sex with Susan, not tonight anyway.
"Yes, another time would be better," she said.
Knowing there would never be another time, wanting to pin her down, he wanted to ask her when. Instead he asked her what he really wanted to ask her.
"Okay, if you can't invite me inside, then how about a goodnight kiss?" He looked at her pathetically while not giving up hope that she'd kiss him.
He knew she wanted him. He could just tell. Why else would she paint her lips red with lipstick if not to kiss him? He knew that one kiss would lead to so much more. Maybe instead of asking for a goodnight kiss he should have just leaned in to kiss her. Only, rejected once too many times, he figured this was a better strategy with her. With him feeling her body and her feeling his cock that already throbbed and hardened out of his pants and that was barely covered by his tented up shirttails, soon he'll be inside of her apartment and on her bed naked while he fucked her as if she was a dog in heat.
"A goodnight kiss?"
"Yes, one for the road, so to speak," he said with a carefree laugh and a cavalier attitude as if her kissing him wasn't as important as it was.
She looked at him with empathy as if she hadn't even considered kissing him before he mentioned it. No doubt willing to kiss him to be free of him, she looked at him as if he was just another frog that she needed to kiss before running away to masturbate herself in her room or in her bathtub. No doubt, with her working so much overtime and not having a life of her own other than work, she's been masturbating a lot. As if trying to decide if she was going to kiss him goodnight or not, she looked at him looking at her.
"Sure, I can do that. What the Hell, it's just a goodnight's kiss," she said with a shrug as if talking to herself. She smiled an uncomfortable smile while leaning in to him with her eyes closed to kiss him on the cheek.

She was so beautiful. With her long, blonde hair, and bright blue eyes, she reminded him of a taller and bustier version of Emilia Clarke when playing Daenerys Tagaryen, Drogo's queen, in the Game of Thrones. Savoring this moment for ever while hoping that this one kiss would lead to so much more, he moved closer to her.
Only when he leaned into her and quickly turned his head to her, instead of her kissing him on the cheek, he kissed her square on the lips. As soon as his lips touched her lips, as if the gates of Heaven opened for him and beckoned him inside, he heard angels singing. Already, he could tell that by kissing the most beautiful woman he's ever seen that this kiss would be the best kiss of his life.
