I can't believe how quickly I have grown feelings for him when I have been wanting to not have anything to do with guys, but I just am afraid if I don't act upon it, then I could possibly miss out on something I have been wanting. So here I am.

I do plan to eventually tell him about my ex and explain why I said what I did the other night because I could tell he looked at me curious in wanting to know more. But didn't want to ruin the moment.

He makes me feel safe. Never thought anyone would ever make me feel that way, but he does.

Throughout the next several days since our first date, things have been more 'fun' at the house and we both have been playful around each other and my grandmother has even been happier (which we knew would happen because she has been wanting this).

Today, my Nana gave us the day off from our chores and she wanted to relax and watch some of her favorite shows she DVR's during the day and waits to watch them later.

Tonight, he wanted to cook for me over at his place and I have never had a man do that before, so I was excited.

I drove over to his house and knocked on the door. It took a quick moment before he answered but the moment I saw him in his nice dark denim jeans, his fitted t-shirt and hair slicked back, I couldn't help but bite my lower lip a little. I just wanted to devour him right now.

"You look beautiful." He greets me with a smile and leans in to kiss me.

"You look great also." I replied.

Once inside, I could smell deliciousness through the air and invading my nose. It smelled good whatever he was making.

He didn't want me to do anything or help, so I just sat down at the kitchen counter and watched.

He offered me a drink and as I sat there talking between sips, I couldn't help but get caught up in this moment-one of the best moments of my life actually.

When he finished, he plated the food and then sat down beside me, but turned so we could face each other as we began to eat.

He made a delicious dinner and everything was very thoughtful and yummy. The casserole he had made he said was the recipe he had gotten from one of Maureen's friends at the Bingo Hall, after confessing he asked her what would be a great dish for our date tonight.

"I know it's not Maureen's cookin' but..." He mentions.

"It's delicious." I smiled.

We sat and talked some more and I have never felt I had this much in common with anybody before.

Once we finished dinner, we headed outside in his backyard where he had set up a blanket for us to sit on underneath the stars and moonlight as he had me sit back between his legs with the back of my head on his chest and his arms around me.

"Annie?" He asks.

"Hmm?!" I reply.

"Who hurt you?" He asks me and I swallow a huge lump in my throat.  Well, guess this was the moment.

I sat up and then turned to look at him then took in a deep breath and let it out.

"Months ago, I had left my ex, Danny. I caught him cheating on me and finally decided I was sick of him hurting me emotionally and physically. So I found enough courage to leave. I have been on the run since, sorta-speak." I stopped myself for a moment.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to make you upset. I just wanted to know." He says as he lifts my head to look at him.

"I know. And I need to tell you-somebody, about what has happened. I at first didn't want to come here because I feared he would find me and try to get to me by hurting my Nana. To be honest, I hadn't planned on staying too long. But then..." I stop myself.

"Then?" He asks lowly while scooting a little bit closer towards me with his legs on each side of me.

"Then I met you." I admit while looking into his eyes.

I could tell he cared about how I felt and that he felt bad.

"I just don't want anything to happen to you or my Nana." I look away.

He lifts my chin up and has me look at him again as he gently strokes the side of my face with the back of his hand.

"I promise that you have nothing to ever worry about. Especially your ex because I promise I will never let anyone hurt you." He says and although it worries me. I still deep down can't help but melt more into his hands and start to smile a little.

We both then lean in towards each other and start to make out in a passionate way at first then it suddenly becomes more intense and more intimate, making both of us start to get heated up and he rolls me on my back while moving between my legs as he continues kissing me while on top of me this time.

Oh my god it has been so long since I have slept with anyone and his lips and hands feel so fucking amaaaazing on me right now.
