Puzzle Pieces

After hanging out in my room with Lilly for a while, it was time for dinner and we were all sitting around the little table in the middle of the kitchen.

“I don’t need a math tutor! Come on, dad, that’s crazy! I already spend way too much time in school and now you want to me get a math tutor? This is bullsh…,” she stopped immediately.

Dad glared at her.

“You keep it up with that filthy mouth and I’ll hire a lady to teach you how to act,” Dad said as he winked at Lilly.

Of course my family would spend this time arguing in front of a dinner guest. I love them, but couldn’t this wait until we were alone?

I looked over at Lilly and watched as she played with her spaghetti with her head down. She looked really beautiful, but I could tell there was something bothering her. I’d have to remember to ask her what was wrong later when we were alone.

Not that it mattered, but with the clothes she was wearing I could tell that she was slimming down a bit and I silently hoped she wouldn’t get too slim. Those thoughts made me smile to myself.

I’d most definitely come a long way from the tall and skinny girls that used to appeal to me. Lilly wasn’t skinny and she wasn’t tall, but she was slowly becoming everything I could ever want.

She pushed her hair behind her ear revealing her neck and for a minute all I could think about was putting my mouth there. I don’t know how it happened or when it happened, but every moment I spend around Lilly was pure Hell for me. There were moments when we were around each other that all I could think about was holding her close to me. I pictured her smile just after I’d kissed her good and hard. I imagined the softness of her skin.

Sometimes, I imagined doing things to her with my mouth and hands, things that would make her say my name over and over again, things that she was probably clueless about.

I won’t get to be the one who introduces those things to her. Some other man who deserved her would have that luxury, but I’d always have tiny moments like this one. Moments where I watched as she played with her food without knowing my eyes were on her. I’d always have the memory of her smile and the sound of her laughter. It would have to be enough.

Hopefully, once all of this shit was done and over with, I could move easily back into my old role and be myself again. Hopefully, I’d be able to forget about Lilly, with the exception of a few tucked away memories that only I knew existed.

She must have felt my stare because she looked up. She didn’t say a word, but I could see it in her eyes. She was thinking about me, too. Maybe not those exact things, but something that made her blush since her sweet face was the same color as the spaghetti sauce on her plate.
