The Next Day

De'arra's Pov

It's around 9 in the morning and I was currently checking my work emails and week schedule for my manager. I had some rescheduling and cancelations to review before finalizing my weeks. I sat on the sofa downstairs with my laptop since DeMar had went back to sleep I didn't want to wake him. We both got up early, well he woke me up for some action and you know I had to give it to him. We showered, had breakfast and soon after he went back up to lay down. The rain was pouring heavily since 6am. The sky was pitch black with the occasional lightning and thunder. I think a storms coming. I hope DeMar makes it back in time.

I quickly finished what I was doing and ran upstairs to see what DeMar was up to. He was laying down with his hands behind his head and the covers half way up. He didn't have on a t-shirt so all his muscles and tattoos were on full display. I crawled onto the bed and under the covers to join him. I rest my head on his strong chest while one of my hands massaged his upper body. I inhaled his intoxicating smell which was always amazing. Everything felt so peaceful. The sound of the rain and the perfect silence between us. I lifted my eyes to his handsome face, examining his features. Everything so perfect. His lips were my favorite. His head turned in my direction and he opened his eyes and gave me a look.

"What you looking at?" He asked in low voice.

"You. You so handsome."

"You so beautiful."

"I don't want you to go. I wish you could stay." I said with a bit of sadness.

"I wish I could stay too but you know I can't."

"I know."

We cuddled and caressed each others body, often switching positions until I was laying on top of him. My small 5"5 body was nothing compared to his 6ft 8inches. One of his arms held around my waist while the other was laid on my ass. I just wanted to stay like this forever and we did until we dozed off.

12:24 p.m.

I was woken up by DeMars phone ringing off the nightstand. I slided it into my hands and saw that it was his coach. I shook him until he was awake and handed him his phone. I can't believe he was knocked out that quick.

"Shit, coach gonna pissed." He exclaimed before answering. I checked the time on my phone and saw that it was already past 12. He was supposed to be on his way to the airport already. I just know he's gonna be speeding to get ready to leave once the call ends. I couldn't take away anything from the conversation because all he was saying was "Yeah, no, ok," and other one word replies. I just knew our cuddle session has ended when I saw him end the call and walk out of the room.

As soon as I was about to find him he then came back and got under the covers which confused me a bit.

"You gotta go huh?" I asked nervously.

"Nah, we on storm watch, all flights delayed until the weather passes so he told me come back no later than midday tomorrow."

"Yay."
"DeMar, can we talk?"

"Uh, yea."

He laid back under the covers and waited for me to speak.

"You see that little fight we had lastnight, that's the last time we do that. I hate seeing you getting angry cause that's not you. You're a real cool and chill person and nothing hurts me more than seeing you mad because of my stupid mistakes. So from now on if there's any issues we sit down and discuss it ok? And no jumping to conclusions until we talk everything out. You my baby and I don't want us to end because of an argument or misunderstanding. I love you too much and I'm not letting you go that easy. I know it's a year and some change but I see myself with you forever and I want to let you know that I appreciate you and the things you do. I know you tell me I make you feel as though what you do isn't enough or I never show you any appreciation but I do and-"
