I Will Wait For You

As soon as I’m dressed, I call Alexa. I don’t know if I can go back downstairs, after what I just did. I’m scared of what he might say or do. I need to talk to her. Hopefully, she can reassure me as to what to do now. She’s going to be so shocked, when I tell her.

She answers the phone on the third ring, “Hey, Lake!”

“Hey! So, I have something to tell you, and I have a feeling you’re going to need to hold you jaw.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“Matt came over to my house about ten minutes ago. I had just gotten out of the shower, so I was only wearing a towel, when I answered the door. I forgot to look to see who it was, before I opened it.”

“That’s not that bad, could’ve been way worse. It could’ve been that creepy mail guy.”

“Yeah, but that’s not the part I was warning you about. So, I invited him inside, and told him I was going to get dressed, and then we could eat breakfast together.”

“Aww! You like him!”

“Would you stop? I haven’t even gotten to the good part, yet.”

“You had sex with him, again, didn’t you?!”

“No! Just listen… I was walking upstairs, and I knew he was staring at me, so I took my towel off, and exposed myself to him.”

There’s a fit of laughter coming from the other end of the phone, before she answers back. “You did not.”

“I did.”

“You did?! Oh my gosh! You have balls, my friend! I can’t believe you did that! Did he follow you upstairs, and try to attack you after that?”

“No.” I say, a twinge of disappointment in my voice. Really? I want to sleep with him right now? I don’t even know him well enough!

“Wow. He must have some control.” She says, and I laugh. “I can’t believe you.”

“I know. I’m bad.”

“You are so bad! I could never do that to Brian… at least not yet.” I can tell she’s smirking, through the phone.

“You are totally hot for him.” I smile, as I tease her.

“Hey, at least I’ll admit it!”

I laugh at her. “I better get back downstairs. He may not even be there, after the stunt I just pulled. I probably scared him away!”

“Girl, I doubt you scared him away. If anything, he’s down there drooling over the thought of you.”

“I’ll talk to you later; let you know how things go.”

“Okay. See ya!” She hangs up.

I put the phone in my back pocket, as I walk downstairs. I find Matt sitting exactly where I left him.He’s turned away, so he hasn’t noticed me, yet. As I get closer, though, I realize he’s on the phone with someone. I decide to leave him alone, so I go to the kitchen to get started on breakfast for us. I try not to make too much noise, since I’m sort of eaves dropping on his conversation.

“I don’t know what to do, man. She totally stunned me . . . I don’t know if that’s a good idea. . . Fine, I’ll mention it to her, and see what she thinks. We might see you later, then. . .Don’t you dare tell anyone about this, or I’ll have to kill you. . .Okay. I’ll see you later.”

Assuming that he’s done on the phone, I make a little more noise, to let him know where I am. He finds me in the kitchen, and sits down on one of the stools at the island.

“So...” He starts, awkwardly. He looks nervous, again.

“What would you like for breakfast?” I ask, before he has a chance to go on.

“I’ll eat whatever you fix.” He smiles.

“How about omelets?”

“That sounds good.”

I bend down to get a pan out of the drawer, making sure to take my time, knowing that his gaze in on me, again. I straighten up, and set the pan on the stove, and turn back to him.

“Would you like some toast, too?” I smile, and very slowly run my tongue along my bottom lip.

He shifts, ever-so-slightly on the chair, and then stares at me right in the eyes. “I will eat whatever you provide me with.”

I feel a shiver run through me, at his words. I turn back to the stove, thinking to myself, as I prepare our meals. What has come over me? I’ve never acted this way with a guy! Especially one that I hardly know! I have got to get a grip, unless I want to end up underneath him on kitchen floor.

I smile, thinking that doesn’t sound like such a terrible idea. Then I mentally have to kick myself for thinking that. I really don’t know what is going on right now. It’s like I can’t control myself around him. My hormones are going crazy.

I finish cooking, and dish our meals onto some plates. I set the plates on the counter, and take a seat next to Matt.

“This looks amazing.” Matt smiles, looking down at the plate that I’ve set in front of him.

We eat in awkward silence. Once we’re finished, I clear the plates, and do the dishes I’ve dirtied. Matt sits quietly, until I’m done.

“Do you have plans for today?” He asks, as I take a seat next to him.

“Not really. I was just planning on chilling out here at him.”

“Would you like to go with me and my friends to the beach? Brian invited Alexa to go, as well, so she’ll be there.”

“Oh… Umm… Yeah, I’ll go.” I smile, reassuring myself that I’ll have fun. Oh, boy could I have so much fun with this man right here, right now. Ugh, I’ve got to stop thinking like that!

“Great.” He smiles. I could stare at this man and his beautiful face all day. I can’t wait to see his practically naked body at the beach later. “It’s almost ten, now. They said they’d be there around eleven. They’re planning on having a picnic on the beach for lunch.”

“That sounds awesome.”

“I’ll drive us there, if you want.”

“That would be great.”

“I’ll have to run by my house beforehand, and grab some swim trunks.”

“Okay.”

“So, what would you like to do to pass the time, until we leave?” I think he’s prompting me to say something, something along the lines of how I really want him to take me right here and now, but I’m not giving in that easily, I’m going to make him say it, first. I decide to tease him a little.

“I could think of a few things.” I say, biting my lip.

“Just a few, huh?” Oh, he’s playing along. He knows my game. Of course, the whole towel tipped him off.

“Just a few.” I smile, innocently.

“I can think of one thing that I’d just really love to do right now.”

“Only one?”

“Only one.”

“What’s that?” I ask, innocently.

He leans closer to me, so that his mouth is right next to my ear. “I think you know.” He whispers.

I pull back and look at him. I decide to go for it, so I lean in and kiss him. He kisses back, hungrily. I wrap my arms around his neck, and my legs around his waist, as he stands, taking me with him. He skillfully carries me up the stairs, and into my bedroom.He lays me down on the bed, and his hands are all over me, roaming my body, unbuttoning my shorts. I grab his hands to stop him.

“We can’t.” I say, breathing heavily.

“Is there something wrong?” He asks, looking concerned. He sits back on his feet, taking his away. My body is aching for his touch, but my conscience says that this is wrong, that I should know him better. Screw my conscience, though. I’m leading this man on. He wants me. I want him. We should be able to just let go, and enjoy ourselves.

“I’m sorry, Matt. I don’t mean to lead you on. I’m not ready for a relationship.”

“To be honest, I’m not sure that I am, either.” He says, looking down at his hands.

“You seem really great, if it’s any consolation. You’re really handsome, and you have the most amazing smile.” I smile at him, feeling myself blush a little.

“You have a pretty amazing smile, too. You’re absolutely gorgeous, but I think you already know that.” He smirks.

“No.” I smile.

“Don’t lie. Why else would you be showing yourself off to me? You don’t know how tempted I was to chase after you.”

“Were you?” I smirk.

“I really was. It took all of my control not to.”

“Oh. Some control you must have.” I sit up.

“It was really difficult.” He adds, inching closer.

“I know what you mean.”

“Do you now?”

“You’re pretty irresistible, yourself.”

“Am I?”

“Don’t act like you don’t know it.” I say, and he smirks. He leans over, and kisses me.

“I really… really… want… you… right… now.” He says, pausing between words to trail kisses down my neck.

“Fine.”

“Fine?” He stops to look up at me.

“Take me.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, please.”

“Gladly.” He smiles, and plants a kiss on my lips.
