Chapter 6
Carrie couldn’t believe her ears when he said she was different. “What do you mean?” She asked.
He moved around nervously and finally spoke. “I can’t stop thinking about you. I dream about you, and you are on my mind all the time.”
“Okay, so I don’t know what to tell you.” She stated. “I can tell you that I’m not some easy girl though, I don’t want to be another notch on your bed post. That’s not how my mother raised me.” She said.
“No, I don’t think of you like that at all. I mean if I did, I would have already tried to talk you into going upstairs.” He told her.
Carrie studied him closely, she wondered if he was lying to her. She heard stories of how guys would tell a girl just about anything to bed them. Johnny was a real player and he would most likely always be one.
“So you’re practicing patience with me?”
“No, it’s more like I want it to be special with you.” He said slowly.
She didn’t know if she could accept this as truth or not. It all sounded too good to be true. How would Johnny Strom stop his ways? Or was he just talking about bedding her, and having all those other women too?
“I don’t know Johnny; I’m not the type of girl who wants to share with others.”
“I wasn’t asking you to do that.” He looked at her quickly.
“Then what are you asking me?”
“I don’t know.” He held her gaze. “This is new to me.”
Carrie took her bottom lip into her mouth and bit it lightly. She always did that when she was nervous and unsure. She found that most of the time around Johnny, at least right now, her lip was in her mouth.
“If you keep doing that I’m not going to hold back though, I will kiss you.” He told her.
She looked up at him, her lip still captured in her mouth. He moved closer to her and covered her mouth lightly with his. The kiss was gentle and sweet, and far too short for her liking.
She closed her eyes; she swore this was a dream. To test it out she leaned into him and placed her lips over his. He pulled her into his arms and deepened the kiss.
Carrie sighed loudly at the passion she could feel in the kiss. “I don’t know if I can sleep with you though.” She pulled away from him finally.
“I’m not forcing you to sleep with me. Did I say we should go upstairs? Carrie, I’m not going to push you into anything. I’m also not going to lie to you; I wouldn’t stop if you said yes. I want you more than I have ever wanted another girl or woman in my life.” He told her.
All logical thought left her mind at the sweet words, she wanted him too. Carrie kissed him again, but in her mind she could hear the words, don’t do it.
But she couldn’t say the words; she couldn’t invite him up to her room. He didn’t push her into it either. He held her and kissed her occasionally. Carrie almost gave him when he skimmed his fingers over her nipple. She felt the nub grow hard and her body react to him more.
“I want you Carrie, but I don’t know if you are ready. It’s getting late and I have to go, we have a big game tomorrow.” Johnny said.
“What time is it?” Carrie asked.
“It’s already 2 in the morning.” He told her.
“It’s been that long; it’s only seemed like a little time.”
“I know, but we’ve been out here for a while.”
“I’m sorry you missed the party.” She said.
“No I didn’t miss anything; I had the best night ever.” He told her.
“Really, but we didn’t have sex.” She said confused.
“Carrie, darling, you don’t have to have sex to enjoy a night. You of all people should know that, you are a virgin right?” He said.
She blushed, “Well yes I am, but how did you know?”
“If you weren’t you would have been all over me in a second. But you hold your values high, and I respect that. This is why I won’t force you into it. I had fun touching you and kissing you though. I swear I want much more too.”
She smiled up at him. “I don’t know I’m scared of letting you have my heart.” She admitted to him.
“I know, trust me. I told you this was different from anything I’ve ever felt too.” He said. “Are you coming to the game?”
“Of course, I wouldn’t miss it for anything.”
“I’ll see you after it is over. Maybe we can go and get something to eat.” Johnny said as he stood up.
“Sure, but don’t you usually do something as a team?”
“I’d rather spend it with you.” He pulled her to his chest and kissed her deeply once more. He let her go and she watched as he left.
Carrie wanted to all him back, tell him to come upstairs. But it was far too late, and he had to play tomorrow. She would only hurt his chances of performing on par. So she watched as he left, he turned around and blew her another kiss. “Until tomorrow, sleep tight my darling.” He said.
