No Love Greater

CHAPTER NINE

I opened my eyes to find Lewis still lying with his right arm wrapped over me and facing each other. My breasts were on full display while his upper torso was exposed. He stirred a little and I knew he was about to wake up.

"Hello baby", he said in a husky voice with morning breath fanning over me.

"Hi Lew", I replied.

"Did you sleep well", he added.

"Couldn't have slept better", I said blushing.

"Come here", he said and dragged me closer to him and kissed my forehead.

We stayed in the comfort of each other for a while before I spoke up.

"I think I need to use the bathroom"

He then released his grip and I tried to get up but remembered I wasn't wearing anything under.

He burst out laughing.

'Sel, we were at it for hours last night, we've seen our bare bodies completely", he said still laughing.

"But", I said and he objected.

"Baby it's no big deal", he said getting up and exposing his full body and walked towards me. He dragged me up from the bed and we left for the bathroom together.

The plan was to have my bath and get ready to leave but that wasn't what took place. We ended up making love twice after soaking ourselves in the bath tub.

Like horny rabbits.

I was wearing one of his shirts without any piece of underwear and seated on the bed while he stood in front of me in grey sweat pants.

'We need to eat before we both pass out', he said.

With that being said, we walked to the kitchen to whip up something to eat.

I was sat on one of the kitchen stools watching him maneuver his way around different cabinets before we started making pasta and alfredo sauce. We talked about different things while cooking and when the food was ready, we dished out on two separate plates and went to the dining.

"So, how's your family", he asked.

'Where do I start?", I said.

"Anywhere Sel, I want to know everything about you', he added

"Fair enough", I responded.

Lewis got to know every single thing about me that day, from my mother who passed many years ago, to my grandparents who practically raised me, my best friend Kayla who lived in Greece and my estranged dad. He ended up wiping away tears as I spoke to him and hugging me.

We stayed in that position for a while then he spoke up.

"I haven't had it easy too but you've been through it all", he said looking at me.

He talked about his background, parents' divorce, growing up and how he came about racing. He didn't really share a close bond with his father but he never denied that it was he who made him develop love for racing.

"Sel, I want to be there for you, I want to be present in your life and I want you to be in mine, I've not really met anyone as genuine as you", he said

I was dying inside to know where this statement was leading to because whatever we had was not yet defined but I smiled while he continued talking and he took my arms in his.

"I know we have put the cart before the horse but we can still make amends", he added with sincerity.

"I want to have something real with you, where our first priorities will be each other", he said.
