CHAPTER NINETEEN

Neve

“Neve, hurry up. If you really want to do this then we have to leave in …” There’s a pause in Blake’s rant from the other side of the bathroom door. “Well, we should have left five minutes ago.”

“We’ll get there when we get there. There isn’t any rush.” I’m standing in front of the mirror applying a coat of gloss to my lips to complete my look. It isn’t my intention to stall, but the more I think about it the better off we’ll be if we arrive just as the ceremony is about to begin. If we cut it close, we’ll miss all of the chat outside of the church, and hopefully save myself at least an hour of humiliation and derogatory comments from my relatives.

“How about we just stay here?” Blake calls, opening the door. He appears over my shoulder in the mirror, his jet black suit, white shirt, and black skinny tie taking me aback. His hair is ruffled but it’s as though every spike has been perfectly placed, and he’s clean shaven. I can feel his smooth skin grazing my cheek when he rests his head on my shoulder and his arms grip me around the waist. “I can think of plenty more interesting things to do if we stay here. Robbie’s not even home so we have the place to ourselves.” His voice is low and filled with restrained desire. Placing a kiss at the nape of my neck, his lips part and his teeth lightly scratch my skin.

The action causes me to lean back into him with a whimper. He’s become more confident with showing his affection towards me as the weeks have gone by. His actions are bolder and I’m trying to do the same. Things are settling down between us as we find our rhythm, but that’s not to say there isn’t the odd awkward moment, mostly a freak out from me.

“Blake, please …” I moan, but whether it is out of protest or longing I can’t be sure. I think it’s mostly begging him not to rehash our argument. Countless times over the week he’s tried to convince me this is a bad idea, and even though I agree, I’m still following through.

He smirks at me in the mirror then kisses my cheek quickly. “Come on, you’re pretty enough.” Without giving me a chance to protest, he pulls me from the bathroom. I struggle to keep up with him because of my heels as he drags me through the flat, but also because I’m trying to grab everything I need on my way out. Phone, keys, iPod, Kindle, make-up … pepper spray, Taser. My thoughts run away from me with the last items, but at least I seem to be in good spirits with my dry sense of humour. We’ll see how long that lasts, I think as Blake locks the door behind us.
