FATHER PLEASE;

LOOK AT ME 2

I was blinded by desire, no, I literally was. Father Aryan had shown up dressed in the tightest T Shirts ever made, it was at least two sizes too small for those arms.

“If you stare any longer you’ll pop holes on him.” Danny whispers as she brushed past me, a box in hand.

“I have to pray today, bless the child that threw up on his cassock and whoever made that t shirt.” I murmured to myself as I lift the tiniest of the boxes from the trunk of the bus we arrived in.

“One would think you’d be smart enough to lift the heaviest box so Father muscles would offer to help you.” I don’t know where Danny keeps materializing from, but she was right.

I dump the tiny box in her outstretched hands and return to the trunk, I select the heaviest box, and it was heavier than I anticipated, I curse under my breath as the weight pulled me closer to the ground.

“What the hell is in this thing?”

“Dumbbells, I assume.”

His voice startles me so much, I take double steps backwards and almost crash into the bus. He catches me by my shoulders just before they ram into the bus.

We stay like that for what seemed like forever, his hands on my shoulders lit my skin and set it ablaze. My fingers gripping the box holds it even tighter, for I was filled and consumed with the primal desire to stuff his perfectly handsome face into my chest.

He finally snaps out of the trance and helps me stand upright, he collects the heavy box from me and lifts it like it didn’t almost drag me down to the gates of hell.

“Why don’t I carry this one? To prevent accidents.” He says with an easy smile.

His dentition has me gawking. They couldn't be real. I can’t believe someone with such perfect dentition wasn’t a model.

“You must be the niece I heard about, my apologies for the late introduction, I’m Father Aryan..”

“Father Aryan Geller, twenty seven years old and already on the path of deliberate celibacy. Although I’m not certain why.”

His smile falters but remains on his face.

“I’m sorry, What?”

I wave that away, it wasn’t time for that yet.

“What did you hear about the niece?”

“Again, What?” his laugh is uneasy now, his eyes roam the parking lot, trying to find somebody to save him from this situation. There was nobody here, everyone already went inside.

“I asked what you heard about the niece.”

“Her name is Melanie Rose Patterson, just turned twenty one and is living with her aunty for personal reasons.” From the way he winced, I’m certain he knows what those personal reasons are.

“We have almost the same amount of information on each other.” I nod to myself.

“Excuse me?”

“You were shocked.”

His frown deepens and he looks around again for help. He can’t just leave me alone, no matter how crazy I seem, he is the priest after all.

“I don't understand...”

“You were expecting something else, someone else and then you saw me. I saw your eyes widen. What were you expecting and what did you see?”

He looks caught, his expression frozen as he licked his lips.

Damn, even that was sexy.

“I don't know what you’re talking about. And if you’ll excuse me.”

“I’ll tell you exactly what I am talking about. You weren't expecting anything. And then when you saw me, you liked what you saw.”

Again, his tongue darts out and runs across his lips. I wanted nothing more than to jam my tongue in his mouth, see if it felt as hot as it looked.

“Of course, everyone was born in the image of..”

“Stop. Don't do that.” I say tiredly.

He looks at me, at loss of what to do with himself.

I take a step into his personal space, I watch as he shivers, I liked that.

I drop my voice into a low whisper,

“You know what I’m talking about Father Aryan. Watch your back, I know I’ll be watching it. It’s pretty as fuck.”

With that, he hurries away from me, I see him struggling to cover his butt as he runs away. I can’t help but laugh.

“You scared him away.”

I jump in the air at the sudden sentence.

“Make some noise when you walk goddamnit.” I hiss.

“There would be no fun in that now would there?” Danny say blinking at me.

I sighed.

“I must say, you have guts. What if he goes in there and tells everyone what you said?”

I shrug.

“Then it would never have worked out between us and there would be no use of my time here.”

“You basically told him he was attracted to you.”

I shrug because it was true. He held on to me longer than necessary, he did look shocked, his eyes kept drifting to my mouth.

“What next?”

“He won’t tell anyone about it, and stew in his guilt for betraying his belief, I just have to tempt him more.”

Danny snorts again.

“What makes you so certain?”

I smirk as I replay his arms around me again. He didn’t want to let go, he forced himself to let me go.

“It’s all in the eyes Danny, his eyes held the truth, the desire in them almost drowned me.”

She picked the last box from the trunk and shut it.

“I have waited for months for a reason, you met him yesterday and you already told him of your plans. And I thought we would be friends for a long time.” She shakes her head.

“Who said we were friends now?”

“Me. And the desire you saw in his eyes might have been a reflection of your own.”

I think back to his eyes, that pulsing heat between us didn’t just come from me, it was alive, it came from both ends.

“A priest can’t just see you and want you immediately. He is like I said, a priest.”

“Uhm, a young priest. That’s the difference.”

“Mabel is young too and she hasn’t felt the desire.”

More arguments would have come from me if Aunt Cheryl didn’t rush out of the prison red faced and ready to blow the top of her head off.

“Melanie Rose Patterson what did you say??!”
