A New Beginning

The following morning, I woke up in Alex’s arms; we went through another round of sex last night, but that time turned out to be rougher compared to our first time earlier that day. I had no desire to go home, at least until the morning because I need to shower and a change of clothes. Not to mention, Iris is going to want to talk about how my day... and night went.

“Good morning.” I said crawling on top of him.

“Good morning.” he said.

I pulled him into a kiss.

"How'd you sleep?"

"Amazingly. You?"

"The same." he said, making the kiss deeper.

His hands traveled down my back and to my ass.

“Alex.” I said firmly.

“What?”

“We can’t.”

“Why not?”

“I need to go.”

The look on his face was sad and pathetic.

“You sure?”

“Yes. I need to get back home. I have plans today.”

“Ok.” he said defeatedly.

I pressed one more kiss to his lips before I got off his lap. His eyes were on me as I gathered my tossed clothing before putting them back on.

“Enjoying the show?”

“Absolutely.”

When I was putting my shirt on, he got out of bed and walked to the bathroom. I met up with him five minutes later in the kitchen where I saw him cooking something on the stove.

“Whatcha cookin’?” I said, drawing out the second word.

“Scrambled eggs and bacon. I was hoping you’d like some breakfast before you leave.”

“I can always eat breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day. Isn’t it?”

He turned around and smiled at me. Oh God, that smile is infectious.

"It certainly is."

"So, I told you I had plans today. What are you up to?"

"I'll tell you if you tell me what yours are. You never elaborated."

"Well, I'm gonna talk about my eventful day with you and take a long, hot shower."

I attempted to say the latter statement seductively and apparently that got a reaction out of him.

“You’re such a tease.”

I leaned over the kitchen island, grabbed a hold of his shirt and kissed him.

"I swear that you're gonna be the death of me."

I laughed and sat back down.

"You'll live."

He playfully rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, I'm probably just gonna lay around today."

Less than ten minutes later, breakfast was ready and Alex set my food in front of me before sitting down beside me.

“Thank you.” I said before taking a bite.

“You’re welcome.” he said, kissing my cheek.

"This is delicious."

“I appreciate that.”

I finished my food quicker than I wanted and I was about to leave. Alex washed the dishes while I double-checked to see that I had my belongings.

"You know how much I hate that you have to leave right now?" he asked with his hands on my hips.

"Yes and it's adorable." I said, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Are you making fun of me?"

"Of course not. It's sweet how much you hate that I'm leaving."

He blushed before smiling at me. I kissed him and didn't want to let go as we kissed for about six seconds.

"I'll talk to you soon. Ok?" I said after a moment.

"Ok. Have a great day."

"You too."

When I got home less fifteen minutes later, I couldn't wait to shower and have a girl talk with Iris. I walked in and noticed that she was on the phone with her mom. She waved before I proceeded to headed to the bathroom. After I did what I needed to do, I walked out with a smile on my face and saw that my cousin was still on the phone. I sat down beside her and waited; when I heard her hang up, I turned to see a grin on her face.

"So, how'd yesterday go?"

"Almost perfectly."

"Almost?" Iris asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, when he wrapped his arms around my stomach-"

I was interrupted.

"He did what? That's so cute."

I loved how she pretty much answered her own question.

"When we were taking a break from hiking, someone texted him and I told him to answer, but he said it could wait. I felt so special, but Kyle and I's song came to mind and I cried."

"Aww... did he notice?"

"Of course and he made me feel better. He kissed me with such passion and I was on top of the world."

"How'd the day go from there?"

"Incredibly well, aside from the downpour. We went back to his place and ended up changing into some of his clothes while our wet ones were in the dryer. We snuggled on the couch..."

I continued smiling as I was on the precipice of my favorite part of the story.

"We were both in the kitchen and the topic ended up going from food to the hunger I saw in his eyes and I felt the same way."

"You two had sex! How was it?"

"So fucking amazing. You realize how long it's been since I've had sex? Afterward, I said, 'talk about sexual healing because it was the first time in I don't even know how long that I had sex with someone who was being faithful to me."

"Holy fuck. I'm so happy for you. Did you go another round?"

I laughed.

“Yes and it was much rougher that time.”

“I’m jealous.”

“Why?”

“You have a guy who’s sweet, sexy as fuck, hilarious and apparently amazing in the bedroom. Not to mention, he’s in a well-known band. Have you made things official yet?”

“No. Not yet, but I might ask him next time I see him. There is just too much chemistry.”

"You have any idea when you're gonna see him again?"

"Only time will tell. I hope he's thinking the same thing."

"I have no doubts about it."
