Chapter 112 - The Real Surprise (1/2)

Peter had just gotten his second coffee when the door to the shop opened. He instantly spotted her as she made her way into the little coffee shop. Wearing a beautiful white summer dress that stopped at her thighs, her platinum hair instantly drew attention. Hanging around her neck was the small obsidian cat pendant Peter got for her just the other week.

Noticing it around her neck brought a small smile to his lips as he looked at her. They had a small conversation on the phone before she asked for his location to meet up. She supposedly had acquired a new apartment after what happened just last week.

She didn't dwell on what happened even though Peter wanted to know the exact details, but he let it go. In the end she was alright and out of harm's way and that was all that mattered. They didn't get to share much else before she had hung up and made her way out.

Scanning the room, her eyes instantly locked onto Peter's frame as he sat in his small booth, a smile lighting her face. She walked with purpose as she crossed the room to right in front of him. Peter's smile got even wider as he got up and gave her a hug.

They held it for a few seconds before letting go and sitting down. They weren't planning to stay long, so she didn't ordered her own drink. As she sat down, Peter easily noticed the predatory look that entered her eyes as she got an eye full of the current shirt he was wearing.

Peter rolled his eyes as she roamed his body, though his heart rate did increase for a second as she licked her lips in a seductive manner. ”My eyes are up here you know.” Felicia nodded her head even as her eyes trailed lower down his just visible muscles. ”Ohhh I know. I'm more interested in what's below though.”

*Cough* Peter had just taken a sip of his cooling coffee at the words and almost sprayed his drink everywhere at the words. Felicia finally looked up into his eyes and gave him a small wink at his reaction.

The playful smirk played on her lips for a few more seconds as Peter's face turned a beet red, before she finally settled down and gave him a more relaxed smile. Her words came out softly as she looked up at him. ”I missed you Peter.”

As Peter calmed himself down, he returned the smile and words. ”I missed you too cat.” The smile on her face turned bright in a second after he spoke and he couldn't keep the worry out of his voice as he continued.

”I was w-worried when I saw the apartment destroyed…seeing you alright is…good.” Peter wasn't sure where he was going with the words, but they just seemed to have to come out as he looked at her. Felicia gave him another gentle smile as she reached across the table and slowly took Peter's hand.

”It's ok Peter, you have every right to worry.” She could see the small deep seated dread that lingered just behind his eyes as he said the words. He was deathly afraid for her and knowing this only caused a warmer feeling to spread throughout her body.

Her heart rate increased as she got up and moved to sit next to him, his eyes not leaving her at any moment. She moved a little closer as she gave him another hug. The worry in his eyes as he looked at her seemed to drift away as he felt her warmth bringing the smile back to his lips.
