Forever Yours: How it all Began

Chapter 10

The rays of sunshine woke me up. I turn to look at the clock to see that it's 11:30a. I've never slept this long. I wasn't much of a club girl so I guess the dancing, the drinking and the encounter with Andre must have tired me out. I rolled to sit up on the side of the bed and noticed there's a bundle of covers on the floor. Dang I must have been really tired. Why would I throw my blanket and comforter on the floor?

I get up walking towards the bathroom and step on the comforter. Andre popped from under the covers looking wild eyed.

"You stepped on me."

I was so confused. I don't remember Andre coming home with me.

"How? What? You didn't come home with me?"

"No I didn't come home with you. I stayed behind and helped LaShae pack up all the food. We brought it back here and she suggested that I stay since it was so late. I didn't think you would have a problem with your friend sleeping on the floor in your room; though I'd much rather have been in bed with you."

I rolled my eyes and walked over him making my way to the bathroom. After taking a nice long shower, I started the rest of my routine of brushing my teeth, washing, toning and moisturizing my face. Grabbing the cocoa butter, I realize that I only have my towel wrapped around me. 

Normally no one is in my room, so I can walk out of the bathroom buck naked. I open the door to see that Andre is still buried under the covers so I slowly make my way to the dresser to get my panties and bra, and to the closet where I pull out a cute little denim mini dress. As I was about to step over Andre, he turned and tripped me up. The towel falls from around me and I'm holding on tightly to my clothes.

Andre peeks from under the covers to apologize but sees me in all my glory. His eyes go wide as I'm frantically trying to retrieve the towel to wrap around me. He grabs the towel and gives it to me. I hurriedly wrapped the towel around me and ran back into the bathroom.

Once I'm fully dressed, I exit the bathroom. Andre has now folded up the covers and is sitting at the foot of my bed. He's looking at me with that sexy smirk and laughing because of the little event. I told him that I didn't think it was funny. He said that I looked like I'd seen a ghost when I realized that he was looking at me. When he calmed down from laughing, he apologized again for tripping me up. He said he was rolling over and didn't even know that I was back in the bedroom. Still a little embarrassed, I told him it was ok and to erase what he'd seen from his memory.

Volleyball season has kicked off and it's my last year to grace the court. Since I've graduated, I have more time to spend in the gym and practicing on my own. After my five mile run, I make my way back to the apartment.

So ready for some rest, I get my lounging clothes out and head for the shower. The hot water is just what these muscles needed to relax. I wet my hair and slathered the conditioner throughout making sure to massage my scalp. After the deep conditioning, I rinse out all the remaining product and wrap a towel around my hair. After detangling and twisting my hair, it was time to hit the sack and allow sleep to take over.

As soon as I was comfortable under the covers, my phone rang. Dang I forgot to call my mom. I picked up the phone to see it was my mom and answered.

"Hey mama. I'm sorry I didn't call you as soon as I got back to the apartment. My mind was set on getting a shower and getting in bed. What are you doing?"

"I'm meeting your father for dinner."

"You're what?"

"I'm meeting your dad for dinner baby girl."
