Chapter 2 -- Netflix and...
Alex watched Sam lead her to his car and open the door for her. "what a gentleman" she laughed, batting her long eyelashes at him. "that is how I'm known" he smiled at her and walked round the car to the drivers' seat. Alex's heart raced and she squeezed her hands at her sides, worried that she would be unable to stop herself from jumping on him and fucking his brains out as soon as he got into the car.
Sam started the engine and Alex casually let her dress fall to the side so that one of the slits revealed her leg all the way up to the top of her thigh. She turned her head to look out of the window and smiled in satisfaction as she heard Sam shift in his seat and clear his throat. "So! what have you got planned for us then?" she asked, shifting her gaze from the passing landscape to his gorgeous face. She watched him intently as his mouth lifted slightly at the side and he ruffled a hand through his hair, making it spike up in little peaks. God, she wanted him. Lust and maybe even love coursed through her body and she didn't hear a word of what he said until he glanced at her and smirked. "Sorry I was a tad distracted, what did you say?" she blushed a little and looked ahead at the road. "I was just suggesting we make ourselves a light lunch and sit in the garden for a while, I have a few films out that you can choose from for later but if you don't like them there is always Netflix". She chuckled, "I'm sure I would like anything you have to offer". Alex watched as a light shade of pink spread across his cheeks and had to close her eyes, for her emotions were so overwhelming at that moment she thought she might burst.
Pulling into the driveway, all thoughts of seduction were tossed aside as Alex turned her attentions delightedly to the house she hadn't seen in years but had many memories of from her childhood. "Mais Sam! Γ§a n'a pas du tout changΓ©!" she gasped and turned to beam at him. "I've missed it here. I've missed spending time with you." He looked at her earnestly and leaned in to place a kiss on her cheek. "I've missed it just as much. I'm so happy you're here." Alex felt a small tear slide down her cheek and she laughed, embarrassed, "so how about some salad?". Sam grinned and hopped out the car, "c'mon then, tout de suite!"
Once inside, they tossed off their shoes and headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Alex was on Salad duty and Sam on quiche. She tied her long hair up in a top knot and picked up a knife and a tomato. "Fuck!" a small trickle of blood came out of her finger and she cursed herself for being so clumsy. Usually a whizz in the kitchen, she hadn't been able to stop herself from being distracted by Sam's presence and had sliced her finger open. Sam's face was a picture of concern as he approached her. "Let me have a look at it", he took her small hand in his and gently brushed his thumb over the wound. "come upstairs and I'll put a plaster and some antiseptic on that." He took her hand and led her up the stairs to the family bathroom.
Alex had nearly fainted at the skin to skin contact when he looked at her cut but when he took her hand, all senses left her body and she felt as though she could collapse and die right there. Dramatic she knew, but her feelings for Sam, having built up over many years, were all consuming and she just couldn't help herself.
Alex sat at the edge of the bathtub as Sam went searching through the cupboards for the necessary items. He crouched on the floor and set to work, carefully covering the small slice with some white cream before placing a plaster on it. The room was deathly quiet, and Alex held her breath as Sam's eyes raised to meet hers. They stared at each other and time passed at a painfully slow rate, the air laden with sexual tension.
