I called back out to her. “You want something else to drink?”
“Um…just water please. ” She answered me with a smile so sweet my heart about dropped to my stomach. I would give anything to have that smile greet me each and every morning.
“Soooo, you really were planning on just staying home tonight and watching a movie? Seems to me you would have some hot date like Jefferson. A guy as good looking as you surly has a girlfriend. ” Ellie rattled off as I walked up to the sofa and set her bottle water down along with another beer for me.
“Yes, I was really planning on watching a movie tonight and no, no hot date or girlfriend. ” I said back to her with a laugh. “Jefferson would laugh his ass off if he heard you say he was on a hot date!”
I sat down on the sofa and reached around the back and pulled up a blanket for her.
“Do you want me to get you a pillow?” I asked as she looked through the movies.
“Oh no…I can get it. You don’t have to wait on me Gunner. I’m perfectly fine to get things on my own. ”
Good lord I could watch her lips move for hours. I tore my eyes away from her mouth and looked up to see her staring back at me. Yep, this was going to be a long night. We sat there for I don’t know how long just staring at each other before I jumped up and walked into Jeff’s bedroom to grab a pillow and another blanket. I needed to adjust my growing dick as I walked down the hall.
I walked into my bedroom and quickly changed into some sweat pants. If things kept going the way they were my dick was going to be squished in my jeans all night if I didn’t change. On the way back into the living room I stopped in the kitchen to get a bag of ice for Ellie’s hand.
I sat back down on the sofa and handed her the pillow and the other blanket. I also grabbed the small sofa pillows for her to prop her hand up on.
“Thank you Gunner. ” She said in the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard. There goes my heart again for like the umpteenth time today.
“Sure, um…got to remember to keep this elevated. You find a movie you liked?” She looked up at me with the most adorable smile. I couldn’t help but smile back at her. The things this girl’s smile did to me and in more than one place.
“YEP! I can’t believe you have this!!! I love this movie. ” She said with such child like excitement.
I looked over to the movie she was holding and it was Cars. No fucking way!
“You want to watch Cars?” I said with a laugh.
“Hells yeah! This is like my all time favorite movie!! Ari’s little brother and I watch it all the time. You don’t like Cars? I can’t believe it?! It’s like…the BEST movie EVER! Why do you even have this movie if you don’t like it?” She rattled off so fast I had to laugh at her.
“No! No! Cars is perfect Ellie! It actually is my favorite movie also. I love watching it and I’m not afraid to admit I bought it. I have a secret love of saying Ka-Chow when no one is listening!” I said as I took the movie from her hand.
“Cars it is!”
I walked over and put the movie in the blue ray player. I turned back around and if I was not mistaken, I would say someone was just checking my ass out. I gave her a smile and a wink and watched that beautiful blush take over her cheeks.
“Are you comfortable sweetheart, need anything while I’m up?” I looked down at her poor hand. It was still pretty swollen but didn’t look to bad. She was trying to adjust herself on the sofa with all the pillows and the blanket. I let out a small laugh and she looked up at me.
“Glad to know I’m amusing you. I can’t do this with just one hand. ARGH! I feel so useless. Shit!”
She threw her head back against the sofa. Poor thing, I knew she was in pain and was trying to act like she wasn’t.
“Here Ellie sweetheart, let me help you. ” I reached over and set the pillow on the end of the sofa. “Here, lie down. ”
I picked up her legs and the instant I touched her I felt a jolt of electricity go through my entire body. Good lord I can’t even help her with the simplest of things without getting a reaction out of my betraying body.
“Really I’m okay sitting up Gunner. If I lie down you won’t have anywhere to sit!” She practically jumped away from me.
“Don’t be silly Ellie, lay down. Please. ”
I smiled when I saw her relax. She lifted her legs onto the sofa and I adjusted the pillow for her. I took the smaller pillows and put them on the edge of the sofa so she could put her hand up. She took the ice and I saw that she winced when she put it on her hand.
“Do you need more pain medicine?” I asked her as I moved the coffee table over to where she could at least reach over and grab her water if she needed it.
“No, I just took some not too long ago. Gunner really, you don’t have to do all of this. I’ll be fine. Besides the fact that I’m just feeling sleepy I’m okay, really!”
I was now kneeling on the ground in front of the sofa adjusting her blanket.
