DESIRE

Atracción

DEREK'S POV:
I moved my hand across my face, trying to move the other. The beeping sound coming from the alarm disturbing the moment. I reached for it, pressing the button and it was quiet again. I can't believe I fell asleep. Who wouldn't when you are with someone like Lillian. Her head resting on my right arms. She smiled in her sleep revealing how cute deep dimples. I had to get out of her before I started thinking about things I shouldn't. Trying my best not to wake her up, I took her head up slowly with my left hand. Her her falling down as I did.
I had this unfamiliar urge to move my hand on her hair. We had sex all through the evening. Short cuts to bathe or have food. I had to be on my way home. My legs moving slowly, trying not to make noise as I got my clothes, dressed up and prepared to leave.
My phone beeped. Thank the heavens it was on silent. Couple of text from James. Few others from Mark asking if I could make it to family's dinner. Not like I would even dare to miss it. James would have my head. It had become a family tradition, I was always included. Texting back that I would be there by 6pm. I made my way to the door quietly turning back once more to get a view. Would be nice if I had a picture. Nah it's creepy. Get your ass outta here.
2 minutes later, I was on the bus, scrolling through the news feed. A couple of crimes, death stories which was like every new day report. I felt alive, hadn't slept that long in a while. My phone beeping again. Sweet lord. Paycheck is here. Typing away I divided the money and moved the other half to my fixed deposit account. I had been saving for a bigger house, I wasn't planning on staying in that small shack forever. A few more months and I'll be out. James had many times asked me to come stay over with Mark begging every damn day.
I just wanted a little space of my own. We were three crazy men and me coming in would made it more crazy. New girl every weekend. Nah, I think I've had my fill. I'll stick with Lillian for a while.
My head leaned back against the window, few more blocks and I'll be home. I should wear cologne next time, she smelled way too nice. Memories of what we did came back, as I smiled. I got off at my stop and took several strolls before getting home. I had a shower, took my coffee and cleaned my place up. I admit, it was messy, cleaned the dishes and did the laundry. A satisfied look on my face, realizing how great it felt to have a clean room. I almost felt like the dirty one. Now time for a good breakfast. Eat, sleep and wait for evening dinner with James and Mark.

Lillian's POV:

Eyes closed, slowky opening. Dang the room was messy. I chuckled remembering what happened yesterday. He must have left when I was asleep. My hand reaching for my phone. Jesus! 10:45am. I rose, trying to get everything ready and in place. I had better ditch doing to church today. I wasn't ready to have a confession, I did like this sin. It was wonderful, yet crazy. I was late anyways.

By the time I was done. It was 12:15pm. Yikes, talk about skipping lunch as my stomach growled. I breathed then ran to get the left over apple pie I had in the fridge. Warmed it up and filled my cup with milk. Yeah I know, too much calories. I'll dance it off later. Once I had my bathe and dressed into a cute peach colored dress, I began to work on my computer, brushing my hair whenever I felt a writer's block. Switched to my emails, accepting sales and getting straight to more designs for my drawing.
Phone beeps...I raised my head looking around, at the view outside. It was already evening. I hadn't stepped out since morning. I took my phone.
Derek: "hi". "I didn't want to wake you up. Wanna meet up sometime?"
"Sure" I texted smiling. I could get used to this. He was actually nicer than I expected. "How about Wednesday. I know a nice bar if you want to get a drink or too". He was sure inviting. To go or not, I needed a break from the indoor life after all. "Sure. What's the occasion?"
" Nothing really, I'll text you the address".
Somehow, I was expecting a good night. It just never came.
