His Soul & His Shame

I get down the stairs wearing skinny jeans and a crop top with a bit of makeup. Daniel, Mom, and dad are sitting in the living room but Ezra is nowhere to be seen.

"Where is Ezra?" I asked mom, looking for him in the kitchen at the same time Izzy is also not in the living room or the kitchen area.

"He is waiting for you outside," Mom informed me going back to her phone.

"I will come soon and then we can go into the town and have fun," I told Daniel who pouted at me playfully.

"Okay, okay Miss. Moore, I will be waiting for you like a good little boy." I laughed at his teasing and went outside, closing the door behind me.

Ezra is standing near his car with his thick arms crossed across his broad chest and Izzy is eating his ears off with god knows what she is rambling but Ezra totally zoned her out.

"I hope I didn't make you wait for long," I said, walking towards the car and Izzy jumped back like she got caught while doing something she shouldn't.

"No, baby girl! Let's go." He gave me a panty-dropping smile, making my face heat up.

"See you soon, Izzy!" I waved at her, who had a grim expression on her face but she covered it with her usual cheeriness.

Am I seeing something wrong? Why is she angry? Or sad? Or frustrated? Izzy is confusing day by day and I need to talk to her and she didn't even wave back, just smiled at me and turned her head toward Ezra who was already sitting in the

car.

Once Ezra Pulled the car from my driveway I took a deep breath calming myself and shaking every thought out of my head. It's been so long since I spent time with my best friend and I want my best friend back. To make that happen I need to push back the part of myself which loves Ezra like mad.

"So? You didn't tell me where we are going!" I probed again trying for an answer but he is a stubborn fucker who doesn't budge so easily.

"I am not going to open my mouth till we get there," he answered without looking at me, making me playfully huff at him.

"But you just opened your mouth Mr. Mysterious!" I sass back knowing how much he gets irritated when I talk back.

"Yeah! So! I can do whatever I can, Miss. Sassy pants." I narrowed my eyes at his words and punched his arm less strongly to show him how much he gets on my nerves.

"Shut up! And drive Ezra." I grumbled out and turned my face towards the window hearing his chuckle float my way. We always butted heads, as well as stood beside each other when one needs another and the tiny bit of banter we just had made me realize that we will easily fit back into ourselves in front of each other.

Ezra slowed down toward an apartment building making me wonder where he brought me.

"What is this place? You need to tell me something, Ezra. I won't get out of the car till you tell me whose building is this." I crossed my arms around myself making a point of not getting out of the car.

"This is my place, Fay! Why are you being so suspicious? Do you think I'm kidnapping you?" He wiggled his eyebrows playfully at me making me scrunch my nose.

"Ha ha...You are so funny." I got out of the car after taunting him. He left the cat too, following me towards the entrance of the large building trying to intimidate me like a big bad wolf.

We silently stood for the elevator to arrive and once it came we entered and Ezra pressed the P button and we stood silently. I can feel his body heat so close to me making my heart rate increase and at the same time my head is playing all types of scenarios in which Ezra and I are in questionable positions!

Wow! My imagination didn't have any limits.

"Are you alright, Baby girl!" Ezra is looking at me with concern in his eyes as I am squirming in his presence.

The second I removed Ezra's curfew from my head I was feeling all sorts of things for him and now I can't even look him in the eyes without wanting to jump his bones.

"Y.. Yeah! I am fine." I stuttered like a fool and started counting numbers in my head to clear it off of Ezra.

" 'I don't think you are fine, Baby girl." I can hear the smirk in his voice and he clearly knows what effect he has on me.

One more floor to go and then the doors will be open to his Penthouse. His presence, and his scent is clouding my senses and making me feel like I am in heat.

The elevator pinged, opening the doors and revealing a beautiful view in front of me.

"Wow! It's so beautiful Ezra." There is a big glass wall standing tall ahead of me and I can see everything up from here and the view is just so beautiful. If this is my house then I will be gluing myself to this wall 24/7 reading some books and enjoying the view.

"I know right!" I can feel his eyes on me and the intense gaze of his setting my body on fire. The nerves and throbbing between my legs were forgotten by the view of this glass but now he is demanding attention with his gaze which is slowly caressing my body like a feather.

I turned my head towards him slowly.

"Why did you bring me here, Ezra!" I asked, holding my breath to hear his answer. He can see in my eyes that I have thrown away the reluctance towards him and knowing Ezra Irwin he will take advantage of it fully.

"I wanted you for myself, Baby girl. I just need to be in your presence without anyone disturbing us. I hate it when someone comes between us."

He takes a step toward me, desires pooling in his dark eyes and if I look at myself in the mirror, mine will look the same.

I don't want to fight this between us anymore, the consequences be damned.

"I am so sorry, Baby girl for hurting you and making you feel you don't matter to me." in two long strides he is in front of me, in my space filling me with his mouth-watering scent and body heat.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Ezra!" I don't know what else to say other than his name as this is so surprising that I have never thought that he will realize how much he hurt me.

"I am just not talking about that night and after that, Baby girl. I am sorry for always, for not considering your feelings and emotions." He croaked out cupping my cheeks and nuzzling his nose with mine.

"Sorry for flaunting girls in front of you and making you hurt." His soft lips brush against mine, briefly taking away my breath.

My head is buzzing with his words and presence. I don't know if it is a dream or a reality. I never thought that he would apologize for hurting me but we both were young for most of the time after that he just side-eyed my feelings toward him, toying with them as he was always possessive over me regarding boys.

"I know that you are sorry, Ezra, and I want to put everything behind us and move on." This time my voice came out strongly and saying this I am making a deal with him and my heart.

"I am an Asshole for ever hurting you and I don't know how much your words soothe my heart and soul." His lips crash against mine in a searing kiss stealing my breath.

Our bodies were glued together and Ezra's hands were behind my neck guiding my lips to move against his. My hands were on his broad shoulders trying to pull him more into me.

A moan left my lips at the first taste of him. This kiss feels so different from others and I am loving every second of it. I can feel Ezra's hardness pushing into my abdomen and I bet that my panties are ruined by my arousal.

If we don't stop this then we will be in his bed naked within seconds.

We both need time to sort out our feelings for each other and Ezra didn't confess that he likes me, he just apologized. I don't want to get my hopes up again to just see them crumble again. I can't handle it this time.
