The Lust Of Love

The other Morning

After what she said" I looked down at the plush carpeting of the floor. "You, ahhh, mentioned something about us having pretty babies."

"Oh." Well, that was dumb Sophie said   . Sheesh, why couldn't I have kept my mouth shut?

Then I realize that Alcohol was like truth serum for her . Things that she didn't mean to say just spewed out, apparently. "I'm sorry about that," She to apologized to me weakly.

I shook my head. "I'll make you something to eat how about that ." I said"

"Okay." It wasn't lost on him that he didn't address my baby comment. He then goes to the kitchen to make something for me .

She then ventured into the bathroom, combed her hair, and secured it in a braid over her shoulder. She knew that she was stalling but She just needed a minute before facing me . We hadn't even been dating long, and now she is talking about having a baby with me? "Jesus ,help me she said" . And she wouldn't blame me if I went running for the hills. Several moments later She joined me in the kitchen.

I had brewed coffee americano perhaps and was looking through his nearly empty fridge. "That mug's for you, babe. I'm trying to see what I can make you." I said to her.

She then wrapped her hands around the warm coffee cup and peeked around My shoulder and saw the fridge contained an odd collection of condiments and expensive bottled water.

"It Looks like I'll have to go out hunting and gathering to feed my Girl." I smiled warmly, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead. "Anything in particular sound good?" I asked her .

She shook her head. Having any food with my shaky stomach would be a miracle. "She said.

"I've got just the thing I said : Benji's House of Noodles. Hangover-cure food. Trust me. I'll be back in a little bit to get it ." I told her.

She then said" ."That's sweet of you to offer , but maybe I should just head home. I won't make very good company today. I'm hung over and hor*y" I paused. Oops. Hadn't really meant to say that part out loud.

I raised an eyebrow and showed a small smile then said" . "It's okay babe. I'm taking care of you today. It won't take me long to grab the food."

My palate was surely more adventurous than hers . I  was well traveled, and had lived in New York City for many years, one of the most culturally diverse places in the world. She didn't think her queasy stomach could handle curry or anything too spicy or adventurous right now. But She merely nodded and trusted me. But she just didn't trust her stomach.

"Go relax." I gave her a gentle pat on the butt. And told her that the hangover pills are in the bathroom cabinet and I'll be back soon."

She crawled into bed when I left, and though She hadn't expected to fall asleep, the sound of the front door closing woke her up a little while later.

She ventured into the kitchen and found Me unpacking cartons of food on the island in the kitchen. Fragrant aromas of garlic and sautéed chicken and vegetables Pierced through her nose . It smelled terrific and my stomach grumbled at the thought of something warm to fill it.

I then  gathered bowls from the cabinet and dumped the contents of the containers inside. I also told her that she will love this place because It's a favorite of mine when I'm in New York. Just don't tell Fiona because she don't deserve this good food ." His gaze flicked to mine, his eyes wide, like he couldn't believe he'd just spoken her name.

She then involuntarily flinched, but quickly recovered, shrugging it off. " Her lips are sealed." And she smiled.

I smiled in returned as she recovered from my faux past of mentioning she who must not be named.

The sight of the thin noodles tossed in light sauce with chicken and julienned vegetables made my her mouth water. It wasn't a conventional breakfast but considering it was already noon, it was perfect.

I then poured me and her each a glass of ice water from a filtered pitcher in the fridge and took our bowls of noodles into the living room. Settling on the couch and I saw her took a big bite so I watched her, waiting for her reaction.

"Awesome, isn't it?" I said.

"Oh my God," she moaned through the mouthful of noodles. "Don't talk to me she said while she held up her hand and chewing slowly to savor the flavors. "Good Lord, that's good she said ," She confirmed, while digging in for another bite.

I then chuckled and took a bite of my own. And said to her"."Told you. I swear they put drugs in their food. It's f**king addictive."

She then nodded, happily stuffing another bite of the delicious noodles into her mouth. Once her entire bowl was gone, She stopped herself from actually licking the sauce from the bottom of the dish and instead let Me put it in the dishwasher. Lounging back against the sofa, I saw her rubbed her full belly. And thinking , Gosh, this thing could almost rival Fiona's right now. My little food bump. "She said.

She then decided to text Ellie to let her know that she was staying at Mines.

Sophie : A mess and a hangover Ellie and He's taking care of me so I'm gonna stay here. : )

Ellie: Lucky girl. Guys I've dated usually want anal sex when I'm on my period. He's a keeper! Lol.

She chuckled and stuffed her phone back into her purse and said Lord, that girl cracked me up.

"Everything okay?" I asked, an amused expression on my face.

She realized She have just been caught laughing to herself . She didn't want to tell me about Ellie's anal comment. No sense giving me ideas. But she was right, I am a keeper.
