"I want to help Ivan" I say as I take the vegetables and place them on the cutting board that Ivan once again takes from me. I try to get up from the stool to take it from him and wince in pain. I sit back down and Ivan approaches me. "You want to help but you can't manage to even stand up, it's okay Charlotte I'll cook tonight, you can help another night ok?" he says placing his hands on the counter to keep me locked in. "fine..." I say and give him a smile that he returns and soon after he gives me a kiss. He removes his arms and continues cooking.
"So how long have you been living alone?" I ask as I place a spoonful of spaghetti he had made that's so good. This guy is hot, one of his priorities is work, and he cooks. "Um, since I was 20... so 5 years now, you?" he says, taking his last swirl of spaghetti in his mouth. I swallow what's in my mouth and reply to him. " well... I was 21, almost turning 22 so a year and a half I think" I say to him getting up from the table to place the dishes on his sink. Since I've been moving around it's been helping with the pain. I can hardly feel it anymore.
"What's your plan in life?" he asks me and I just look at him. "What do you mean?" I say loading the dishwasher which he decides to help me with. "Well... do you plan on getting married? Kids? Buying a house?" he says and closes the dishwasher. I'm a little stunned by him asking me these questions but then again we are just trying to get to know each other.
"Well I do plan on getting married maybe not right now but in a couple of years I want at least 2 kids no more than 5 though, and I don't know about getting a house on my own maybe when I get married" I say to him, putting my hands on the counter and pulling myself up to sit on the counter. "What about you?" I ask him as he starts to walk closer to me and stands between my legs which I notice are only covering a small amount of my thighs since I'm wearing only his shirt and underwear.
"I plan on getting married in a couple of years, I want a big family so as many I can convince my wife to push out" he says laughing. The thought of having a family with Ivan seems to cross my mind. And I can't help but to wonder if we maybe are meant to be or if we aren't. "What are you thinking?" Ivan says pulling me out of my thoughts. I feel like it's too soon to talk about these things right now so I try to dismiss his question by shaking my head. Which seems to just make him ask me again. "What are you thinking Charlotte?" I look at him and I think to myself that it's better to just tell him if not he won't stop insisting until I tell him. "It's just... I know it's early in our relationship... just the thought of a future together came across my mind, that's all" I say looking down at my fingers that won't stop fidgeting with each other.
He places his hand on my cheek and starts caressing it, making me look up at him and I see him smiling and I just give him a shy smile. "It crossed my mind too" he says and I look at him surprised that I wasn't the only one thinking this. "It's a beautiful thought but we are just still getting to know each other so let's not rush ok?" I say to him and he agrees.
