Chapter 45 - Teasing (2/2)
Peter had a small sheen of sweat on his head as he starred at the woman across from him. He still felt a throb from the grip she used to pull him inside. In the middle of the table there was a silver platter covering some type of food. A small voice in his head, was dreading what was under the platter.
'No, there's nothing wrong, it's just a normal meal, nothing is wrong here.' By now he already had his mask off. Felecia gave him a smile and knew exactly what he was thinking. Keeping the smile, she reached over slowly and grabbed the platter, lifting it up to reveal…..
'It's a pizza thank god!' Peter let out a breath of relief, not realizing he had been holding his breath. Felecia let out a small laugh once she caught the look on his face. Peter turned red for a few seconds before shaking his head and reaching for a slice.
Not forgetting to be a gentleman he first placed a slice on her plate before getting his own. A smile had quickly formed on his face. If there was one food he loved in the world, especially in New York, it was Pizza. He knew about every shop in the city, especially when he had to eat more food for his enhanced metabolism.
They both smiled at each other as they ate, it wasn't long before Peter started a conversation, he hadn't gotten to talk to her much the night before. And she had been gone for quite a while; he wanted to know what places she had visited, if she made any new friends, etc.
Felecia was happy for the conversation and they began talking animatedly. Peter figured she had forgiven him for the morning as they continued to talk and before long the pizza was gone. Noticing this fact Peter looked up into Felecia's bright eyes and suddenly felt his heart rate increase.
He knew for quite a while she was beautiful, one of the prettiest people he had ever met, but it was at this moment that the fact sunk in. *Cough* *Cough* Faking a cough and taking a sip of the water on the table, he gave a fake yawn.
”Well it's getting a bit late; I think I should go to bed.” Felecia's eyes flashed again as a coy smile formed on her lips. ”Ok~” giving a small nod she pushed her chair back and stood up. ”Your rooms this way.” Peter gave a nod and followed behind her. Walking over to one of the spare rooms, she opened the door and a simple room appeared before Peter. It wasn't a fancy room, but after having slept on a bench in the open for a year, this was paradise.
Peter gave Felecia a smile and pulled her in for a hug. ”Thank you soo much. You don't know how much this means to me.” He fought hard to make sure his voice didn't break, but was having trouble. Felecia's eyes turned gently as she rested her head on his shoulder for a second. Before a devious smirk came back to her.
”Well you could always share my room. Think of it as a favor for me~” Now, Peter had had enough of being the person teased so he fired right back hugging her a bit tighter, arms slowly roaming down her back. ”Don't tempt me cat, I'll make you purr all night if you're not careful.” The heat from his breath made her body temperature spike upwards.
*Purr* Subconsciously she let out a purr at his words, but before anything else could happen, the warmth of his body disappeared and she heard Peter's small laugh before the door she was standing in front of closed.
Blinking her eyes in surprise for a few seconds, *Crack* her hands cracked as she gripped them tight, talking to herself softly. ”Nicely played Parker. Nicely played.” The frown that marred her face softened into a smile, before she walked over to her room. There would be more opportunities in the future.
Peter who was in his room, with a satisfied and victorious smirk suddenly felt a chill go down his spine. 'Ohh crap, did I just make this worse' He didn't have a good sleep that night, he was sure a certain feline female was going to walk through his door during the night.
