Chapter 18
She stares out the window with her half open eyes trying very hard to stay awake. Oh the buzzzzzz. Out of no where, her stomach begin to growl loudly with Tik hand reaching out to touch it.
"Don't touch me." She bark, pushing his hand away.
He chuckle. "Oh, there's going to be plenty of touching tonight but first, we got to get you some food."
"I'm not hungry." She let out a big yawn.
"No yawning. There's no sleeping tonight." He made a quick right turn into a burger drive-thru and order food.
"Says who?"
He pull out his wallet and paid before grabbing the food. "Says me." Tik pull into a parking spot and parked. "Eat." He place the bag on her lap.
"I told you already I wasn't hungry." With a blink of an eye, Tik reach over and cup the side of her cheek with his lips crushing on hers. She try to pull away but couldn't. Not after his tongue was tangling with hers. After a brief minute, she shove him off. "Stop. We're not kids anymore." She wipe her lips in disgust while her mind travel back to memory lane when they used make out in his car.
Tik lick his lips and settled back into his seat when his cellpphone beep. Text Message from Tom: "I know you're not sick..."
He smile and look over to Aff who wasn't looking at him. Yes, Tom is too smart for his lame excuse. When he saw Aff walking toward the side exit, he knew he had to get out of there even though it was rude to leave Lavedee hanging...Tik shift the car back into D and sped off. They got home within 15 min. Both walk in the quiet house and up the stairs to his room. Once the door shut, he didn't bother to turn on the light and hug Aff from behind.
"Tik..." She mutter, clamping on his hands.
He turn her around and kiss her hard while moving them toward the bed.
She tried to fight the kiss but her heart yearn for his lips. Finally, a gasp of air. "Why do you keep kissing me when i told you that my lips are off limits!"
He chuckle and shove her on the bed to lay flat. He hover over her and smile. "Those lips were already mine to begin with Aff."
"But now it belong--" Tik cover her mouth immediately.
"Don't you dare." Aff bite her lips. She didn't have the energy to fight. The buzz was still in full effect.
He kiss her again but this time soft and gentle with his fingers slowly undoing her buttons.
She closed her eyes and felt the softness of his kiss touching the core of her heart. He pulled away and started taking his clothes off. Aff got up, clutching her open shirt and tries to go to the bathroom but Tik pull her back to face him. They both stare at each other using the moon light to see. His hands undo her pants along with her panty and strip it down to the floor. Next, he strip her shirt and bra off. Now they were both naked... Tik lift the comforter and nudge Aff to get under. He didn't waste a second longer to have her.

After all night of ravaging, hunger kick in full gear. Aff lay in bed, hungry, while Tik was taking a shower. She didn't know if she had to go into work. Once the bathroom door open, out came Tik in his towel. She couldn't help but stare at his chest and arms. When did he become so buff?
He looked through the mirror and notice her eyes on him which she quickly look away. He turn around and smile.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Nothing." He reply and turn back around to select a tie to go with his shirt.
"Johnny said you don't have any work for me today. So do I have go in?"
"No, you can stay home today." He watch her smile through the mirror and it agravate him. "I have to go in the office but I'll be back at noon so behave and stay in."
Aff roll her eyes and reach for towel to wrap herself so she could go the bathroom.
Before she could make it to the door, Tik yank her into his arms. "There's nothing wrong with walking nude around me." He smirk with his eyes.
She hiss and pull back before closing the bathroom door.

Tik arrived in office not too long when Tom show up. He try to make himself look "sick."
"Hey Tom." He let out a hard cough.
Tom started laughing. "Don't pull that cough sick on me. I'm not 5 here."
Tik try not crack. "What's going on?
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"
"Uh. Get to to the point?"
"That's the Tik I know, never beat around the bush." He grin. "Are you getting involved with Aff again?"
He guess he has to beat around the bush this one time. "No."
"You're lying. I can smell it a mile away. Ever since she showed up in the picture, you have been acting strange."
"Like what's so strange about me? Tell me."
'Like how you blew off that important meeting before Aff showed up..." Suddenly a light bulb went off inside his head. "Was Aff the one staying with you????"
Tik nearly choke on his coffee. "What? No."
Tom laugh loudly. "Don't lie to me. I told you I'll have my ways of finding things out."
"Wait-- listen to me. It was not Aff. You already know we're history."
"Maybe for her but you, Tik, I know you still can't forget about her after all these years." Tom got up. "After all, she was your first love. Perhaps still... But first love are usually the hardest to forget."
Tik got up also, trying to remain calm. "Whatever man... let's not preach about love."
"Fine. I'm going to end it here. So if you're not seeing Aff then come out to lunch with me then. Laveedee is going to be there with Jen."
"What's with you setting me up again? I'm--"
"You're busy, right?" Tom eye him suspiciously.
Tik run his hand nervously through his hair. "A little but I'll go to lunch with you. And I'm telling you, you gotta stop setting me up. It'll never works."
"Maybe if you can forget about Aff, then it can work." Tom walk to the door. "Meet me down at the lobby at noon."
"Alright."
After Tom left, Tik let out a deep sigh. Now, he can't go see Aff at noon...
