I woke up the next morning to knocking at my door. It was really werid cuz no one ever knocked on my door. I got up and went to answer it.
“morning sunshine”
It was alex with two cups of coffee and a bag from the bakery.
“hey”
“I brought you breakfast”
“I like you”
“thank you”
He handed me on the cups and came inside. We sat on my couch and ate the donuts he brought.
“so did you crash out when you got home?”
“No, I called my sister in law and my brother”
“oh that’s cool”
“yeah”
“so what do you want to do today?”
“I want to go back to sleep”
“what?”
“it was hard work getting out bed just now”
“oh come on, I brought you coffee and you want to go back to bed”
“my bed is warm”
“seriously”
“yeah”
“can I go see?”
“sure”
He went into my room. He didn’t come back out so I went in to find him. He was under my covers with his eyes clothes.
“what are you doing?”
“you were right it is warm”
“get out of there”
“no, I want to stay here”
“but that’s my bed”
“well you can join me”
“no”
“why not? You said it yourself, it’s your bed”
“because”
“come on”
I debated for a minute but then I just crawled in next to him under the covers.
“I like your bed”
“thank you”
“I like that you’re with me”
“me too”
He pulled me into his arms, my back was to him, he held me tight against him. It felt nice to be in someone’s arms like this again. I ended up falling asleep, I woke when he started to kiss my neck gently and was whispering my name.
“you awake now?”
“yeah”
“did you sleep good?
“yeah”
I turned so I could see his face. He was so cute, I never realized how blue his eyes were. We just stared at each other, he leaned in and kissed me. I smiled at him.
“let’s go out to eat”
“where?”
“anywhere you want to go?”
“okay, but I have to shower and stuff”
“I’ll wait outside”
“okay”
He kissed me again then got out of the bed and went to the living room.
We left the house and he took me to a restaurant on the other side of town. It was a cute Mexican place. We ordered out food and just talked until it arrived.
“so what was the longest relationship you’ve been in?”
“well, I was married for 4 years”
“really?”
“yeah, I got married when I was 21, we had been together for about 2 years before that. So I guess the longest I’ve been with someone is 6 years”
“wow. So what happened?”
“we just……”
I wasn’t sure how to answer.
“we just weren’t meant to be I guess”
“sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories”
“it’s okay, I just don’t like to talk about it”
“well, I’m here if you ever need someone”
“thanks. So what about you?”
“well I’ve never been married, but I was with one girl throughout high school”
“how long did that last?”
“we broke up sophomore year of college”
“oh, what happened?”
“she fell in love with a senior”
“sad”
“yeah, well it wasn’t meant to be right?”
“yeah”
He took me back to his house. It was a nice small house, very clean for a guy. He laughed when I told him that.
“my mom was really strict about being nice and tidy”
“wow, she must’ve have been a good mom”
“yeah, she was”
“so where is she?”
“she’s now living in Florida with her husband”
“so you’re parents aren’t together anymore?”
“my dad’s never been around”
“oh”
“what about your parents?”
“my parents are divorced, my dad lives in California with his wife, my step brother and my baby sister”
“how old is she?”
“she’s three”
“cute”
“yeah and well my mom lives in Minnesota”
“oh, so she’s not far from here”
“no”
“are you going to go visit her?”
“no”
“can I ask why?”
“we don’t really talk anymore”
“why?”
“she didn’t approve of me getting married”
“why not?”
“she didn’t trust my ex at all. I sometimes wish I would’ve listened to her. Now we don’t talk”
“how long have you been divorced?”
“6 months”
“have you tried to call her or anything?”
“why? She’s like me, stubborn she won’t listen to me even though I’m not with him anymore”
“you should try, she might miss you”
“I doubt it”
“well, let’s get that dessert”
“okay”
I followed him into the kitchen. I sat down on the kitchen table and he went to the fridge.
“hope you like cheesecake”
“I love cheesecake”
“perfect then”
He pulled out a big new York cheesecake and got two forks.
“dig in”
He told me as he handed me a fork. We tore into the cheesecake until there was nothing left.
“that was good”
“I don’t think I’ve ate so much cheesecake”
“so now what?”
“I think I should get home”
He looked at me.
“what?”
“why not spend the night?”
“I don’t think that’s such a good idea”
“why not?”
“I don’t know, it’s just…”
“I’m not going to jump you or anything. I just…I liked this morning and well I thought that maybe you would spend the night with me”
He smiled at me and I felt myself melt inside. He was so sweet and I decided why shouldn’t I be able to enjoy myself. It’s not like I was with anyone else.
“okay”
“really?”
“yeah, do you anything I could sleep in?”
“is a t shirt and a pair of boxers okay?”
“perfect”
“alright, come on”
He was so cute, he was so excited he bounced to his room. He got a out a white t and some boxers out of his drawers and handed them to me.
“you can change in the bathroom”
“okay”
I went into the bathroom and changed out of my clothes and into his. I came out of the bathroom and I found the lights off and candle lit around the room. There was soft music playing and Alex was already laying in his bed under the covers. I clicked the bathroom light off and went over to the bed.
“are you decent under there?”
“yes”
“are you sure?”
“yes”
“okay”
He pulled up the blankets and I climbed in. He pulled me into his arms and I put my head on his chest.
“thanks for staying.”
I didn’t answer. I didn’t have anything to say. He kissed the top of my head and played with my hair until I fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning I was by myself. Then I heard a knock at the door and he walked in with a tray.
“hey”
“hey”
“I brought you breakfast”
“more coffee and donuts”
He smiled at me.
“not today. I made pancakes and bacon”
“I didn’t know you cooked”
“yup, I’ll show you tonight that I can make a good pasta casserole”
“who says I’m staying for dinner?”
“you’re not?”
He looked so sad, I thought it was so cute.
“of course I’ll stay for dinner”
“good. You’ll love it”
“I’m sure I will”
We just hung around his house all day. My sister in law called me, but I didn’t answer. I’d call her when I went home after dinner. I’m sure she was dying to know what was going on right now.
“so what are your brothers like?”
“they’re cool. They love me a lot and are very protective of me”
“really?”
“yeah, they can be very intimidating towards guys I date.”
“really?”
“yeah, I can’t tell you how many guys they’ve scared off.”
“oh”
“are you scared?”
“no”
“you sure?”
“maybe a little”
“don’t be, as long as you don’t hurt me. They’ll be nice…at least for the most part”
“that’s comforting”
I smiled. He grabbed my hand and held it up to his lips and kissed my hand then turned it over and kissed my palm. I felt myself get shivers. He smiled at me.
“I’m going to get started on dinner”
“do you want any help?”
“nope, you can just chill and relax”
“okay”
He went into the kitchen and started making a lot of noise. I just watched t.v. and waited for him to be done.
“dinner is served”
“alright”
I got up and joined him in the kitchen.
“wow”
The table was set nicely with two table settings, napkins glasses, and candles.
“it’s so pretty”
“thank you”
He pulled out a chair for me and I sat down, then he sat down across from me. We started eating and I was in heaven. I absolutely loved pasta and he knew how to cook. I could tell that he was happy I ws enjoying it so much. After dinner I helped him clean up and wash the dishes.
“I think I should get going now”
“really?”
“yeah, I do have to work in the morning”
“yeah, that’s true”
“I had a lot of fun”
“good. Maybe we can do again next weekend”
“maybe”
“alright, I’ll take you home”
We got in his car and he took me home again. I got out of the car and he so did he. He walked me to my door and stopped there.
“well, have a good day at work tomorrow”
“I will”
“I’ll call you”
“I’ll be waiting”
He smiled, then leaned in and kissed me. Softly at first then I felt myself melting into his arms. He wrapped them tight around my waist as mine went around his neck. The kiss became more intense and passionate. Finally we both pulled away and smiled.
Where was she exactly in the begining of the story? At work or what?
& she just trusted him like that. Kinda wierd. Hope he doesn't turn into a wierdo. lol
