It takes two to love

CHAPTER ELEVEN 🔞🔞

CATHY'S POV

Daniel and I spent the rest of the night dancing, with each other, with Eunice and Hugo before they went off. Glad she was able to impress the pants off him like she wanted. I chuckled at this thought as Daniel came back with our food, we'd gone to a restaurantas we were both starving. He had gotten burgers and fries, my stomach grumbled so hungrily.

"Do you even eat at all?" he asked me, a sheepish smile tugging at the edge of his lips

"I'm learning to eat more" I said, sticking my tongue out at him

He chuckles as we sit down to have our meals, right after we were done. The limo drops us off at the house, my dad's house at the outskirts of town. My dad was having a date with Beth today and I really didn't want to interrupt or impose on them, moreover I wanted to spend tonight with Danny.

We walked into the house and it felt different, almost new. Daniel went to the kitchen told me he was making a drink. I went upstairs to change; I got into the shower after taking off my dress. The warm water felt really good on my skin, the day had been so overwhelming. I heard Daniel walk into the room, I turned off the shower and walked out with a towel wrapped around me, he handed me a drink.

"Thank you" I said sitting next to him on the bed

"So what happened with Bill?"He asked

"We talked, he had asked me to prom; I said no so he was surprised when he saw us there together"

"Okayy, what does that mean for us?"

"Bill & I's relationship ended a long time ago. It has nothing to do with us, I'm with you."
I said

He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back; in the blink of an eye he kissed me. He placed his hand on the back of my head and pulled me closer; I kissed back harder wrapping my hands around him. He gently laid my back on the bed, our lips still connected.

I don't know how long we kissed for; our hands were all over each other. When he pulled back, I felt light headed my heart pumping with insane excitement. He looked me in the eye, his thumb stroking my jaw.

"Hey"

"Hey" I said as I smile back at him

"So"

"Shower?" I said to him, trying to diffuse the awkwardness in the room, I wanted this to happen but it wasn't something I'd done before, I'd never gone that far with any of my boyfriends. I knew what they wanted so it made the whole idea of being intimate with them pointless.

"Hey, we don't have to do this" Daniel said to me and I realized I had just been standing there, not moving or saying anything.

"Hey, hey, hey" he came closer, he'd taken his jacket off and I didn't even notice.

"I haven't done this before" I said

"Its fine, we don't have to do it. Whenever you're ready"

A tear dropped from my eye as I realized how vulnerable I was around him.

"Cathy, its fine, you don't have to be scared around me" he said

He hugged me, we walked into the bathroom together, and he took off his clothes after repeatedly asking me if it was okay, he treated me so delicately. He came closer to me and kissed my lips, I let my towel drop as his eyes wandered around my body. I could see his own body instantly react to me.

I looked away as I blushed furiously, I hear him chuckle as he came close to me and turned me around. He walked me into the shower, slowly lathering soap on my body. He took the sponge and gently scrubbed my back with it as he massaged the soap into my hair. It felt nice, I felt exposed but it felt amazing. I let my thoughts slip away as I basked into this moment.

DANIEL'S POV

She looked beautiful, like an angel that had fallen from the sky. Her skin, the way her body curved, her lips; her luscious lips. She looked incredible, I couldn't wait to have her but I could see how shy she was, how resistant and scared she looked. I wouldn't rush her into anything she didn't want, if she said she never wanted to forever, it'd be hard but I'd do anything she wanted.

As I washed her back, and massaged her scalp. I felt myself get hard again, I gulped as her magnificent body stood before, she turned to face me and washed me in return. After the shower, I changed into some of her dad's clothes I found in the house.

We lay together in bed, slowly making out; then we cuddled till she dozed off. I watched her for a while, her chest rising and falling with ease. She was beautiful and she's mine. That was the last thought on my mind before I dozed off.

I woke up really early the following day, I made sure she was sleeping and took a taxi out into town; by the time I got back, she was awake, sitting on the couch. Watching that series she loved so much, I rolled my eyes as a silly smile crossed my face. I started singing at the top of my voice.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you princess, happy birthday to you"

She ran up to me, tears brimming at the corners of her eyes; she was jumpy as she looked at the cake I had gotten her like a baby. I laughed and she pouted at me.

"Good morning princess, happy birthday"

I handed her the cake and a gift bag. She went to the kitchen, dropped the cake on the counter as she excitedly unwrapped the gift I had gotten her. I really hoped she liked it, I had asked Eunice for advice a week ago and she'd told me what to get. I stood with my arms crossed as she screeched and jumped into my arms, almost knocking me off my feet.

"Oh my God" she kept saying

I had gotten her a gift box, it had a necklace, watch and three fancy rings in it, the gift bag also contained two books from John Grisham, Eunice had told me he was her favorite writer ; I was grateful for the guidance. The last gift was a small teddy bear, white in color. She kept screaming so happily, her reaction made my heart flutter. She kissed me as I spun her around.

"Okay, get dressed princess. Let's go"

"One more surprise?" she said and ran for the room, screaming all the way before I even replied

I laughed heartily as I sat on the couch waiting for her.

CATHY'S POV
As I got dressed, I kept looking at the teddy; I didn't know yet what to name him... Evan maybe? I screeched again excitedly. I ran downstairs s I saw him turn his head to look at me.

"Ready?" he asked

"Yup, thank you so much for the gifts"

"You're welcome, you're an adult now. Welcome to adulthood!" he said

I smiled, looking at him; his eyes portraying the most excitement. He looked really handsome when he was happy, then all of a sudden, the look cleared from his eyes. He seemed scared, almost; like he wanted to just hide away.

"Hey, hey, you don't have to hide from me, not from me" I cupped his face in my hand, looking up at him. He rubbed his head in my hand, just like a dog would and I laughed. He laughed back and caught my lips with his as his two hands cupped my face, we kept on laughing in between kisses.

"Alright, lets go"

He said as we both walked out of the house together.
