"Jesse."
Rob's voice wakes me up, together with his finger poking my arm. I open my eyes but don't see a lot since the room is dark. He must have blown out the candles when I already drifted off to sleep. However, I don't see any daylight peaking behind the curtains either, so I couldn't have slept for that long.
"What time is it?" I ask with a groggy voice. I feel him reach over me and a light turns on.
"Four," he answers.
I rub my hands in my eyes, trying to focus. Parts of last night are flashing through my head, making it hard to concentrate. Let's just say that when we were done, that frown was no longer on his forehead.
"Four what Rob?" I ask.
"Four in the morning."
An internal alarm bell goes off in my body and all of a sudden I'm fully awake. I sit up abruptly, which seems to startle him a little. "Everything okay? Is something wrong?" I ask him. Why else would he wake me up? Apparently the concern in my voice is noticeable, because Rob immediately starts shaking his head.
"No, no don't worry. Sorry I had to wake you up," he says, while tracing circles on my chest with his finger, trying to get me to relax again. Before I can say anything he continues, "And I am really sorry about this, I really am, but you have to go."
He looks me in the eye, and I feel some butterflies twirl in my stomach. While we got more urgent matters at hand, I can't help but think about we did – apparently just a few hours ago. I've never been intimate like that with a guy before. For some reason I thought I would regret it, or feel gross, but with discernable relief I realize I don't. I just feel light and happy, even though it is 4 AM. Focus Jesse. Right, focus.
I frown. "What do you mean?" Why would I need to go? Maybe he didn't like it as much as I did. God, I hope that's not it.
He sights. "Stefan. You can't be here when he gets back. I mean you can, but not unless you want him to know. And I thought you might not want him to know."
Of course, why didn't I think about that? Probably because I was still thinking something else – other rather someone else.
I nod, "I understand." I smile, albeit a bit sad, and softly press my lips against his, caressing his cheek. Then I get up and start looking for my pants.
Still very apologetic Rob follows me through the apartment as I pick up my clothes and get dressed.
"I'm sorry. I would've waited until like six in the morning or something, but then you would have to get out by daylight and I don't want to run the risk of anyone seeing you." His eyes meet mine and I see that he really means it.
I take him in my arms. "Rob please, don't be sorry. I get it. Tonight was so much more than I could ever hope for. This is just us. We got to keep it a secret."
His eyes light up. "So you liked it?"
"Of course I did silly, I must have told you that about a million times," I chuckle, "Are you just fishing for compliments right now?"
He chuckles too and avoids my gaze, "Maybe."
"Well in that case," I say, "You were amazing, like truly."
We kiss. "The secrecy kinda hot, no?" He asks with a smile. I kiss him again, "Very." And I mean it, it is exciting that nobody else knows about us. So exciting that just for brief moments in time I forget that I am risking not only my reputation as a respectable family man but also said family. Rob has that strange power over me. When I look in his eyes the only thing that matters in the universe is him. Everything else seems to temporarily disappear.
When I sit down to tie my shoelaces, I catch him looking at me funny. "What?" I ask. He is standing by the kitchen counter, only wearing a pair of sweatpants. "Oh nothing," he giggles, "Just thinking about how you're my little, naughty secret."
I cannot help but laugh. "Yeah, very naughty," I say, teasingly slapping his butt on my way to the door.
"I'm sorry," he says again. I smile. "Don't be, I get it." We share one last kiss. I hold him tight, not sure when I get to again.
He opens the door. "Okay," he says, "Let me see if anyone is out there." He pops his head outside and looks around. "Nope," he says after a few seconds, "Coast is clear."
I step outside and see that Rob is still standing in the doorway, half-naked and smiling. I jokingly wave my hand, "Bye sexy."
He giggles, "Bye."
*And that's chapter 16! What do you guys think, will Stefan find out? Anyways, have a lovely evening :)
