Oh My God
Seosy! I love you!!!!
Here is my revised version...I cleaned it up a bit...fixed some of the grammer and stuff:
Entering the living room of the small apartment Benji looks around and spy's what had come for. Donyelle lay sleeping on the sofa her foot propped up on a mountain of pillows, probably everyone she could find, a half melted bag of ice lying haphazardly across her foot, no where near the large angry looking toe she had intend it for. He silently walks over to her and to get a closer inspection of the offending limb. Donny had spent a good portion of the week pretending it was getting better, but he seen how she walked when she thought she was alone, and he knew better. Today it had been his idea that she 'catch a nap', claiming she looked tired from they're late night practicing the night before, but truly he was just worried about her and wanted her to get off her foot. Leaning down he squints hes eyes in a scrutinizing look at the large purple lump that used to be her "pinky" toe. This was the first time good look he was getting. It seemed that every time he asked her to see it she quickly changed the subject or found there was something else the needed to be doing. Frowning at the swollen appendage he felt slight frustration bubble up. He had a hard time understanding her sometimes. He just wanted to help, but she seemed to have a strong need to appear strong to him.
Sighing he placed his hand on her ankle, expecting it would wake her but it didnt. Ever so softly be begins running the back of his fingers up and down the thin brown skin of her foot, up to the big toe and down to the ankle, but still she slept on. Gazing at her face he was struck by peace he found there. Knowing she could catch him gazing at her he took the opportunity to take in her features. Almond shaped eyes, perfect nose, full lips, and that piercing that he found so very attractive on her, as he evaluated her he could feel his heart beat raise slightly. Since the first day in Vegas he had been taken by her. Even then he had thought she was beautiful, and now that he knew her he found her breathtaking. Reaching down he picked up the melted bag of ice off her foot.
The removal of the cold from her skin lured her to consciousness. She looked up at him, question on her face, but a smile on her lips. He cant help but smile back as he threw the half melted bag on to the coffee table.
"Hey sleeping beauty how was the nap?" He asked
Yawning and smiling at the same time she answered "Great, can I have another 8 hours?"
"If it were up to me I just sit here and watch ya sleep for as long as ya want" he said smiling at her. "But Shanes expecting us at the studio in about an hour and I think we should grab food before that. Its going to be a long night.
"Okay", she says drowsily and stretching her body out. During the full body stretch she accidentally brush the large toe against the pillow, unable to contain is a soft whimper escapes her lips.
A look of concern and frustration comes across Benjis face. "Donny why didnt you tell me it was still this bad?" His voice is stern, but his actions show he isnt angry as he kneels down to be more eye to eye with her. Reaching down he grabs her hand brings both their arms up into an "arm wrestling type pose. Absently he rubs his thumb over her knuckles.
"You should have said something". he says sounding disappointed.
Donny changes theyre hold, intertwining they're fingers. "I know, I just wanted to forget about it. Unfortunately the damn thing wont let me." she says with a smirk and a please forgive me smile.
"We're partners; you need to tell me when you need a rest, or a bag of ice or an Advil or a foot massage, He gently teases her. Ive been there, injured, and I know it must hurt like a mother." With this statement he brings his chin down resting it on their intertwined fingers. "I'll do what I can to make this easier on you. We can work with the choreography, I know Shane will understand."
Looking at him she could help but feel the compassion, understanding and affection rolling off him in waves. He would do anything and she knew it. But she didnt want the dancing to suffer, so she would do what had to be done to make it the best routine she had in her. Shaking her head she lifted her index finger from their clasped hands and placed it on his chin near the corner of his mouth. When their eyes met she gave him a level look and shook her head, communicating her thoughts without words...they didnt need them.
A slight sigh escaped from him and he leaned his head into her outstretched finger.
On impulse she raised her finger running it lightly over his lips. She watched her own finger in disbelief, it traveled tentatively across the plains of his lips, reaching the other side of his mouth it turned to make its slowly journey back again. She looked up at him he's eyes were frozen on her; she couldnt even tell if he was breathing. Then he did something she never expected. He pursed his lips and lightly kissed the tip of her traveling finger.
They're eye's lock for what seems like an eternity. "What now" she thought, "what now? I started this! Now What?" Panic grip her chest but it quickly replaced with the electric feeling of excitement, excitement of what was about to happen.
Benji couldnt believe when her finger touched his mouth. It was light touch, soft, barely touching, but at the same time felt like it was burning though his lips to his teeth and gums. He had kissed it, completely on impulse. He couldnt imagine doing anything else but that. As these thoughts rolled around in his head he realized her fingers journey back to his face had stopped and was stationary right were he had stopped it with the kiss. It was hovering, lightly brushing his mouth. He knew this was the moment to decided...get up and go to dinner, brush this off as a friendly gesture or see where she wanted to let it go. The debate with in his head didnt last long. Gently he pressed his lips to the finger again, all the while eyes locked to hers, searching for a sign to stop...there was none. Slowly he raised his chin and disentangled their grasp and took her hand by the wrist, he lower his lips to her next finger, kissing it lightly, then proceed to the next and the next until he had planted small kisses on the pads of all her fingers and thumb. He then tilted her palm up and covered it with the same light tentative kisses. Placing the last one on her wrist, right on her rapidly beating pulse.
She found herself holding her breath. It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done to it up his face, starting at his chin, up his cheek, to reach up behind his right ear. He had found it was an especially sensitive area for him by accident weeks earlier. She watched as his eyes slid closed on the contact. The look on his face made her heart jump in her chest. He looked content and scared and happy all at the same time. She hadnt planned on letting things go in this direction with him, but at the moment couldnt think of a clear reason as to why. In the end the answer she was searching for was lost in the desire to just see what it would feel like to kiss him. With the hand cupped behind his ear she began to pull him forward to where she still lay. He came willingly but kept his eyes closed. Reaching her face up to close the gap, she placed a soft kiss at the corner of his mouth, and then repeated the action to the other side. Pulling back slightly she opened her eyes and looked up at him, this time he was looking back at her with an intense gaze. She didnt realize it, at the time but she was waiting for him to make the final move.
Benji looked down in her face and knew what had to happen, he had to kiss her, and she wasnt coming to him. This sent his heart racing. She was older, more experience, what if she thought he was childish? He glanced down at the slight smile on her mouth and all the worries disappeared. He knew her and he knew she would never feel that way. Ever so slowly he placed one hand under her chin and the other came up to caress her cheek, and then he slowly lowered his mouth towards hers. He watched as her eyes sparkled as they looked back at him then slid closed in anticipation. He had kept is eyes open up until the moment of contact. Then his lips touched hers, his head began spinning. She was so soft and sweet, he could barely keep is balance.
His kiss was soft, gentle, respectful, kind, and sweet. A thought surfaced amidst the hazy of first kiss blissthis is the best first kiss Ive ever gotten Just then his thumb began to made lazy circles on her cheek. She couldnt suppress the urge to sigh at the tenderness of the touch.
He felt her sigh and its made his heart skip a beat. I did that to her? The quick thought passed thought is mind. With the sigh encouragement from her, he moved the hand that was caressing her cheek back and into her hair, entangling his fingers in her braids. The action reminded him of the end of the Viennese Waltz, she had grabbed his hair and pulled his face impossibly close to hers, he had wanted to kiss here then. With that memory in mind he used the hand in her hair to pull her closer and renew the kiss with slightly parted lips.
She couldnt believe that the person currently kissing her and kissing her very thoroughly mind you was the shy, flirty boy she had first met. She had known he was more than what he appeared to be, but she hadnt counted on this. This she could get very used to. Strangely enough it felt natural to hernot awkward like she thought the first kiss might have been. But those were thoughts for another time; she had something better to do at the moment.
After long moments they reluctantly parted for air. Theyre eye met immediately. They were both smiling like fools.
Well Donyelle said with a shy smile crossing her face.
Not ready to talk Benji placed an index finger across her lips an shook his head. Leaning down he place a light kiss to the piercing in her lip, then gathered her up into a tight hug. Donny, I
Just then Travis and Heidi entered the apartment, calling out their names.
Benji pulled away smiled and gave her cheek one last rub as the two interlopers entered the living room.
Donny watched him stand and immediately missed him. She reach out a hand clasped to his as he stood. Swinging her slightly shaky legs to the floor she sat up and looked up at him. He was looking down at her a sweet smile meant only for her on his face. He then turned and looked at the new arrivals.
Sorry guys, I was having a heck of time waking sleeping beauty here up. He said in explanation as to why he and Donny had not appeared downstairs where Travis and Heidi had been waiting for them to go to dinner.
Look down and tighten his grip on her hand he smiled and asked, You awake enough now to get something to eat?
She smiled then winked so just Benji could see, Never been more awake then I am right now, lets go.
