EroticReverie

Roman

It's at least an hour and half before I hear the apartment door open and Daphne's quiet steps into the apartment. And I know she had more than breakfast with Hunter.

I'm laying on my bed, and don't get up, I fight the urge to get up and meet her in the hall and listen as she goes into her room. 

My phones dings a few minutes later. 

"Home. Gonna shower. Wanna go for a walk after?" 

I look at my phone, waiting a second as I smile. 

"Sounds good."  I say. 

"Give me twenty minutes?" she says.

"Take your time." I reply. 

----

Once she's in the shower, I jump up out of bed, and check my hair, check my pits, and add more deodorant just incase, and then look at myself and scrub my jaw hating how nervous I am to just go on a walk with her. 

I change my shirt. Wearing jeans and a long sleeved plain white t shirt, and then grab my black sherpa lined winter jacket. 

It wasn't too cold out today, but still cold and I wondered what she'd wear. She'd look hot in anything. But I selfishly hoped for a loose sweater that wouldnt distract me. 

I sat on my bed, staring at my phone and groaned at how fucking eager I was, how fucking nervous. I watched Giselle's name pop up and cursed. 

"Flip's tonight" she says with a kiss face emoji. 

"Pick me up at 10" she adds and I roll my eyes. 

"No." I reply. 

"I waxed my pussy Roman." she says. I clench my jaw, because , shit, I couldnt help but think about her pussy when it was freshly waxed and how damn smooth it was, how good her bare pussy lips felt hugging my...no. Shit. 

"Dont fucking care Giselle. Go throw that shit at someone else. I dont want it." I type. 

"lol, you're funny. See you at 10 baby" she said. 

I groaned and rolled my eyes. 

I almost drop my phone when there's a knock at my door. 

"yeah?" I ask. 

"I'm ready." Daphne's voice comes from the other side of the door. 

"Alright, coming" I say and hop up and take a few deep breaths and crack my neck and shake out my nerves. Shit. 

I opened the door and walked out and she was waiting at the end of the hall , standing in a pair of dark skinny jeans, with knee high tan heeled boots, a tight little white ribbed long sleeved sweater, with a long tan jacket sweater type thing cardigan, whatever the fuck it was, but she looked cute.  And those tits, were not doing me any favors in the tight little sweater. God her body was insane. 

I looked at her and she smiled.

"you look nice." I say. 

She smiles. "thanks, you do too."

I walk over, my mouth missing hers, wanting a redo of that fucking kiss that I forced on her like a fucking bastard. Her mouth was so fucking soft, so much more fucking sweet than I imagined and I was all i'd been thinking about. 

"Where we walkin to?" I ask shoving my hands in my pockets so I don't touch her. Cause I really want to touch her. 

She shrugs. 

"Figured fresh air would be good, just wanted to take a walk." she shrugs again. "You have any ideas?" 

"Theres a few spots, there's a little park with a small garden, well...in summer theres a garden, right now, there just, uh benches, and probably some left over snow and muddy dead grass." I say and rub my neck. 

She smiles. "Sounds perfect." she teases. And I smile , appreciating that it seems like I'm not still being punished for how I acted. 

We make it downstairs in the awkward silence of the elevator and I walk beside her as I gesture to the way of the park. 

I watch her as she lifts her chin, letting the cold hair kiss her face as she inhales deeply. 

"I love the smell of winter." she says and I just stare, as her dusty rose colored hair whips behind her in the cold breeze. 

"You arent cold?" I ask and she turns to look at me. 

"No" she smiles. "I'm fine." she says and looks back ahead as we move to the side for an older couple walking down the sidewalk and she waves to them the old man and women smiling wider when they see her wave and they nod to her and wave back. I give them a nod and a smile. I smile more though, because of how she's always done that. Everyone brightened up around Daphne. 

"Oooo, come on" she says, and reaches for my arm, her hand sliding down and grabbing mine and I swallow as she just pulls me into a small little bodega. 

I look around at the few guys hanging out at the counter talking to the guy who works there and nod. They eye Daphne up and down as she ooo's and ahhh's over the rack of candy.  The guys give me a little smile and nod and then go back to talking. 

"Remember when we would spend all our allowance on candy and soda, and eat it all at once until we were sick?" she asks as she runs her fingertips over one of my favorites as a kid. Pixi sticks. She plucks them from the rack and holds them and shakes them. 

"this still your drug of choice?" she asks and I smile, and chuckle slightly. 

"Havent had them since we were kids" I say and she scoffs. 

"Well, we're clearly getting these." she says and I smile and start to finally relax, appreciating her for, just being, Daphne. 

After she's got an armful of candy and we each choose two sodas, just like we used to, we go to the counter and check out. The guys eyeing us like were freaks when we drops probably 30 dollars worth of candy onto the counter. 

"Hi" Daphne says to the cashier and he smiles. 

"hi" he says. 

I watch her as she talks to him as he rings up our junk and she even talks to the two guys who were eye fucking her when we walked in and she laughs at something they say but I cant even pay attention, because I'm just always in awe of how she does it. Of how she makes everyone love her instantly. 

"Thanks!" she chirps to the guy after I pay and he hands us a bag. 

"Come visit me" the guys says. 

She laughs. "I'm sure I'll be back for more candy" she says and waves her hand to them all as we turn to leave. 

"I cant wait" she says and turns and then opens the brown paper bag at the top as I hold it and I laugh as she plucks her red mountain dew from the bag and a bag of pop rocks. 

"these things are still so cool" she says and I smile as I walk along with her as she rips it open and places the wrapper from the top in the bag. I watch her tip her head back as she shakes some of the candy into her mouth , giggling instantly as she turns and leaves her her mouth open and holds my arms as she brings her face closer to me so I can hear and I smile and nod. 

"yep, they still pop" I say and she laughs and closes her mouth and turns and keeps walking and opening her soda, and takes a drink. 

"Open" she turns back around and I stop and I open my mouth.

"tilt back a little" she says raising the little bag of pop rocks. 

I tilt my chin up and she pours some in and I laugh, smiling as they pop on my tongue, and I close my mouth and look at her as she watches me with those pretty eyes of hers. 

"Want more?" she asks. I laugh. 

"I'm good, you take the rest." I say as mine still pop in my mouth. 

She pours the rest into her mouth and holds her mouth open as we walk and I cant help but silently chuckle as I watch people look at her like she's a lunatic. But they all smile as she waves at them anyways. 

"you're a lunatic" I say and she laughs and closes her mouth and chew them and then swallows them. 

"everyone loves pop rocks" she says and then her little paws are fumbling through the back as we walk and I hold it down for her. 

"Mmm" she says pulling out a Nerds rope. 

She rips the wrapper off. 

"You really DO plan on making yourself sick off of candy don't you?" I ask. 

She smiles and scrunches her nose. 

"don't tell on me Roman" she says and  takes a bite of the ners rope as she tosses the wrapper in the bag and then lifts it to my mouth and I take a bite and she smiles and turns. 

She walks beside me, and eats her candy and drinks her soda as we talk about the time, she tried to hide her candy in her underwear when we came back from the store, but her peanut butter cups fell out and dropped to the floor when she walked by her parents.  I laugh, because I wasn't there for it, and she'd never told me about it. 

"they didnt want me buying candy anymore, but...I needed to buy candy, so i figured id sneak it in , in my superwoman panties" she shrugs and I laugh. 

Ten minutes later were a few blocks away and the little park with the garden looks like nothing special. The small little gazebo sitting in the middle and she walks towards it and up into it, and sits on the one bench and I sit on the same, but set the bag of candy between us. 

She rifles through it and pulls out my pixi stix and opens them and opens me an orange one and I smile. 

She smirks. 

"You remember" I say. 

"Yeah I remember, because orange is disgusting and you're clearly a psychopath if you choose anything other than blue first." she says and I laugh.

I watch as she rips of the end of a blue one and lifts her stick to mine. 

"cheers" she says and I smile and nod. 

"cheers" I say and we both sprinkle the sugar into our mouth. 

She sucks in her cheeks her eyes blinking. 

"they're more tart than i remember" I say and she nods. 

"Yep" she says, then pours the rest into her mouth. 

"Do they still sell the giant ones?" she asks. 

I shrug. "Dunno" 

We sit there, each of us taking two more pixi sticks and mixing the flavors in our mouths and laughing, sugar flying from our mouths.

After we eat more of the garbage we bought we both sit there with smiles on our faces and she sits back, leaning against the wood of the gazebo and takes a deep breath. 

"So..." I say and she turns to look at me. 

"So..." she answers. 

I look at her mouth, her lips stained red , and purple, from the candy, and I wonder how good her mouth tastes right now, how sweet her tongue is. 

"I want to start this over." I say and she just leans her head back against the wall and looks at me with a soft smile. 

"You scare the fuck out of me...and I'm probably gonna mess it up again without even trying to" I say and she reaches over and grabs my hand. 

"Calm down" she says gently seeing me start to get worked up and nervous. 

"I just want to erase these past few days...up until being on the couch with you..." I say and she squeezes my hand. 

"God, I want you Daphne" i say and shake my head. 

"I've always fuckin wanted you...and god, fuck...you drive me crazy...you drove me crazy that night...in that little dress....jesus..." I say and she just listens to me. 

"I wanted to kiss you the second you got out of the uhaul...it was crazy...thinking id gotten over my crush on you....it was clear the second i saw you, that not a thing had changed about the way I felt about you." I say. 

"Giselle, was a mistake. I felt like it was some sign, her showing up, that I wasnt supposed to make a move on you...god..it sounds so fucking dumb...and god I was such an asshole for trying to kiss you that night....god I hate that youre with him" I say and lift my hand into my hair.

I look at her and she's just looking at me. 

"He's good to me." she says. 

I grit my teeth. 

"I could be good to you." I say. and she smiles softly. 

"You stole our first kiss." she says and I feel like I'm slapped, and I feel like an asshole, cause she's right. I ruined what should have been perfect. 

"You ruined something i've dreamt about since I was a kid Roman" she says and she's not being cruel, she's calm and calmer than I deserve for what I did. 

"I know...fuck....I know." I say and sigh and put my head in my hands and then lift it and look to her and she's just watching me again. 

"Give me another chance" I say. "I dont deserve it, but I want it Daphne...I really fucking want it." I say. 

She smiles. "Is that not with this is?" 

"Is it?" I ask. 

"I know you feel bad....and I appreciate you apologizing to me...and...I'm..." she pauses.

"You're what?" I ask and sit up straighter and turn to her and move the bag of candy to the ground and slide closer. 

She looks at me, her nose pink with the cold. 

"I'm really confused right now." she says and I deflate. 

"Because of Hunter?" I ask and she nods silently. 

"I know you don't want to hear about him....but I've been honest with him about you." she says.

"I really only planned on hooking up with him, because I was angry with you about Giselle. Not very mature, I know. But, it's what it is." she shrugs. 

I nod, because I knew that's what it was. And part of me hated it, the other part didn't fucking blame her. 

"But he's funny, he makes me laugh...like...a lot....and he...pisses me off a lot too" she says with a little smile and laugh. And I hate that she's smiling thinking about him. 

"But he's all for this." she says.

"All for what?" I ask. 

"Me and you." she says and my brow lifts in question. 

She tells me some of the discussions they've had, about what he wants, about what she wants. And, part of me wonder if he's playing some hidden angle, or if Hunter Gibbs may actually not be a total douche bag that I thought he was. 

"So he's cool, with...what? He thinks he's going to keep sleeping with you while you and I date?" I ask. 

She shakes her head. "No. And I don't know if I want to date you." she says. Another fucking slap. 

"then why bother talking to me like this?" I ask. 

Her brows pinch. 

"Ouch." she says and turns and face forward, not looking at me. 

"What? What did I say?" I ask and she looks over at me and sighs. 

"I bothered talking to you, because you're my friend." she says and I can hear the hurt in her voice. 

"Clearly you only care about what I think or how I feel, if it means you might get the chance to screw your best friends little sister." she says and looks away again and stands up. 

"Thanks for the walk Roman." she says starts to walk. 

"Daphne, wait!"
