“Spend the night with me.” Kel pleaded the next night.
“Nope.” I charmingly answered
“Please, I wouldn’t do anything you don’t want me to.”
“Fine. Nothing at all okay? ” I warned and he smiled saying. “Thank you.”
By the time it was time to sleep I went to his room after freshening up. He laid shirtless on the bed doing something on his laptop.
“Hey.” he smiled saying kissing me on the cheek.
“What are you doing?” I asked laying beside him.
“Just going through some things, it’s nothing to bother yourself about,” he said shutting the laptop down.
I knew he has been busy for a while. Checking the construction of his new hotel, visiting the one he had. Checking accounts and all.
“I missed having you around,” he said hugging me.
I didn’t know what to say to this and just stroked his hair instead. “Your hair is soft.”
“I feel complete with you. I want to be a better man for you.”
“You’re good in your way Kel. You’re okay the way you are.”
Do you like me this way?” he asked and I nodded trailing down his body.
“Why are you smiling?” I asked laughing
“You said you like me? ” he replied saying.
“Technically I said nothing,” I smirked saying and he chuckled.
“I know you do.” he smiled capturing my lips in a kiss.
When his lips met mine, it sent electricity throughout my body. I was overwhelmed with a flood of longings and a storm of desires. We kissed so passionately and slowly for a while and the next minute he’s carrying me to lay on him and I can feel the hard length of him pressed against me. The deliberate strokes of his hands as they moved up my back to my hair. His hands explored other places before resting on my butt. He gave it a light squeeze and I moaned pulling him closer. I met each thrust of his tongue with mine. Our tongues explored deeper and I felt like my feelings were swimming to the surface. I felt it too much I knew he did too and it was at that moment I realised what we were doing and about to do and pulled out.
“I like kissing you,” he said brushing my hair away from my face.
“I do too,” I admitted and he smiled
“Sleep like this, on top of me.”
“I guess I can do that,” I said getting comfortable.
“Gosh Shayan. Take it easy,” he said and I muttered a shy sorry.
“I’m crazy about you Shay, out of my mind.” I smiled like crazy, his words got to me and I didn’t even know when I said “same.”
He just smiled and I was like oh shìt. His smile is breathtaking and I’m glad I get to see him smile often, glad that I’m the reason behind it. There’s just something about seeing him smile that makes me happy, that just makes me smile simply because he’s smiling. I don’t know if anyone can relate to it, I just admired him.
“I think I’m going to sleep now. Goodnight Kel.” I smiled saying.
“The night’s good already. You’re on top of me in my bed, it’s going to be one of the best I’ve had in years. Sleep tight baby. ” he said kissing my forehead and I simply smiled at his words.
That night I slept with a smile on my face. My feelings for him was gradually coming out and I was torn between wanting him and ignoring it. A part of me still felt like it was a game and I shouldn’t believe both our feelings. I just felt like he’d still leave me and that seems to always make me withdraw from him.
He was still asleep and I was wide awake starring at him. “What am I supposed to do?” I said sighing. Am I to love him or not? How do I even tell him about Evie?
“Follow your heart Shay, that’s all you have to do.” I was startled to hear him talk, I didn’t realise he was awake.
“I know Kel, it’s not easy,” I said and he held my hands.
“It can be. All you have to do is trust me.”
“Good morning,” Evie said peeping in.
“Hey, come inside.” Kel ushered.
“So you slept with him, I was looking for you,” she said jumping on the bed.
She looked so happy, I don’t know why she wanted us to be together that bad.
“How was your night?” Kel and I asked at the same time.
“I don’t want to sleep there again. I want to stay with both of you.”
I looked at Kel, this was awkward. I didn’t have any intention of sharing a room with him after last night.
“That’s fine. Right, Shay?” Kel asked with a smirk.
“It’s fine,” I responded and Evie let out an excited yay.
“Great. Let’s all go freshen up so we can go have breakfast.” Kel suggested.
Evie immediately ran to her bathroom and I laughed as if she could bath herself.
“Let’s go take a shower, Shay,” Kel said wiggling his eyebrows.
“In your dreams Adrios,” I said laughing.
“You’d be happy to know the things that happen in my dreams.” he winked saying. I really should stop saying that. “And you know, sooner than later, those dreams will become a continuous reality.” he leaned closer and whispered in my ear seductively.
“Just go shower alone Kel,” I said pushing him away acting as if what he said didn’t create sparks or send excitement throughout my body.
“Did I tell you that hearing you call me Kel turns me on?”
“Adrios you need a shower, a really cold one.” I chuckled saying and he laughed before agreeing then walking to the shower.
I went to Evie’s room after that, she had stripped off already and was in the tub playing with the bubbles.
“So you love Kel now? ” she asked.
“I don’t know Evie. Not yet though.” I replied.
“Okay. When will I meet daddy, do you love him? ” she asked and I sighed.
“Evie, you don’t know anything about love but yes I did love your father.”
“What about now? ” she asked again.
“I don’t know Evie. Maybe.”
“Are we ever going to be a family?” she asked sadly.
“Evie, I don’t know.” it all depends on Kel.
“OK. I like Kel though.”
“I think I like him too Evie,” I said and she smiled widely.
“I love you mummy.” words can’t even begin to describe the joy I always feel hearing her say that.
“I love you too baby, so so much,” I said kissing her cheeks.
Later the next evening Kel and I were watching a movie after I had tucked Evie to bed by reading her a bedtime story.
I and Kel’s hands were intertwined and my head laid on his shoulder.
“Let’s go out on a date tomorrow,” he said looking up at me.
“I’d love to but I can’t just leave my… ” I stopped realising what I could have said, I nearly said, daughter. “I can’t just leave Evie alone Kel.”
“And who told you she’d be alone? I’d have someone watch over her.”
“This place is foreign Kel, do you trust the person. I don’t want anything to happen to her.”
“I don’t think you trust me if you’d ask that. I know she’s important to you and that makes her important to me. Nothing will happen to her.”
There was something about the way he said it with all sincerity that made me admire him more. I like the fact that he understood how important she is to me and cared without even knowing she’s his, it made me smile.
