Hot Coffee [Calista]

“Oh, that’s it! You lacked the conviction to walk up to a relative stranger and engage in conversation about our rival houses.” Cali laughed at the thought of her being intimidating. She shrugged a shoulder. She could see where some could think that; especially if they don’t actually know her. She did stick out like a sore thumb anywhere she went. Cali smiled at the image that produced. Unlike tom’s firewhiskey goggles on the day they met, Cali saw past the arrogant, conceited veneer. She saw the potential of the man underneath.

Cali saw something pass across Tom’s features. Unsure of what it was, she thought of everything it could be. Jealousy would have been way down the list. Yet, something told Cali to watch his expressions. He wanted to ask her something. What could that be? Cali ran her fingers through her hair, her bangs always getting in the way of being able to see out of her right eye; not that it mattered.

Cali smirked. ”so that’s what it was…Jealousy…never would have thought of that…” Cali thought, trying to hide her smile at the thought. ”I doubt there’ll be any you’ll have problems with. The bludgers on the other hand are a different story. Some always stray into the watching crowd…” Cali giggled softly at the thought of Tom batting away the fly away bludgers. It was an interesting visual.

Cali smirked as her own thoughts ran rampant. She could just imagine what sort of trouble they could get into with those boots and some candle wax. She shuddered at the soft touch of Tom’s hand running up and down her leg. He wasn’t looking at her again, at least, not her face again; which gave her a chance to smile without him catching her.

Tom rubbing her legs comforted her while her thoughts drifted again to their earlier encounter. She was beyond scared when Lucas hit Tom with that spell. All that blood Tom lost; Cali paled just thinking about it. She was still kind of shocked that her spell worked. She buried her face in the crook of Tom’s shoulder and neck, trying to hold back the tears that came to her eyes at her thoughts. She didn’t want to think about a life without Tom and his sarcastic comments; or his sweet comments.

Cali smirked at Tom’s mocking comment. She shook her head before looking at him ”You just love mocking my words don’t you?” Cali asked, but there was laughter in her eyes. She had said those words, but now, she was thinking of taking them back. Was there a need for them anyway when her thoughts kept drifting to them?

Cali trembled slightly when Tom moved his arm to her hip opposing him. She shuddered at the words he whispered into her ear. It was pure seduction at it’s finest. Cali’s whole body quivered as Tom bit her ear lobe and his tongue darted out to run along it. She squealed slightly as tom slipped from the counter, Cali held snuggly against him. Quickly enough, she wrapped her arms around his neck. ”My hero, carrying me off to a secluded place…” Cali blushed at her words, and she was truly happy now she didn’t have any roommates. They’d just get in the way…if anything ended up happening; which Cali sort of wished something would.

Tom felt his chest rise, pleased to hear that she had no other admirers, at least none that she was aware of. He would have to make sure to keep a look out at surrounding eyes when he was out with her, for all those nuisances she was unaware of or too humble to admit. But Tom furrowed his brow, trying to push back the feelings that the thought of other men ogling Cali brought on, he did not want to become the psycho jealous boyfriend he knew he was capable of.

"All the same, i'm sure someone out there wants my head... crying in a corner wishing he were in my place." Tom laughed at the idea, becoming more proud than jealous of other men wishing they could be as close to Cali. He reached up and brushed some of her hair out of her face, she seemed to have difficulty taming it. Tom smiled, letting his finger tips graze down from her ear to the base of her neck. Any excuse to touch her was taken advantage of, and with every meeting of their skin came a rush of endorphins coursing through his brain.

Tom shivered as her face collided with his neck, a tingling sensation at the roof of his mouth told him that was one of his spots. He chuckled through closed lips at the feeling that made it impossible to speak. Her reasons for hiding were not caught onto by him, he was too caught up in the feeling to catch onto the subtle indications in her body language. Sighing in satisfaction, Tom tilted his head so her soft hair brushed against his cheek. He was in heaven.

"It's not just your words that I love. But we can discuss that in intimate detail later." Tom smirked, not realizing the full weight of his words, and what exactly he had just hinted at. But the feeling that was building in him made him say things he didn't fully understand. Was that what it felt like to speak from the heart? It was confusing to think about as Tom went over his own words in his head. He shook his head, it practically sounded like an admission, and not a very well-thought out one.

Tom began the walk out of the kitchen with Cali in his arms, beaming with pride at who he was holding. "Your hero? I could get used to that. But if I recall, you were the one that saved my life back there. If anyone is deserving of that tittle, it's you." At that note, Tom continued out of the kitchen, the girl in his arms having saved his life in more ways than one.
