Love me like you do

Chapter 11

"Oh my god guys!", Sarah ran in.

"What is it this time?"

"I am going on a girl's trip this weekend!"

"Cool."

"That's nice for you dear, but call me every day.", my mom said.

"It's just two days."

"What about Avan?"

"He wanted to do some trip with his friends, some convention or some shit."

"Ah, yeah."

When Friday arrived, she packed her last bags and Avan picked her up to drive her over to her friends' house. Then the door rang again.

"Avan?", I opened the door.

"Mason."

"I thought you are on a trip with your friends."

"Lied. I didn't want to join her."

"Fair."

"Are you free tonight?"

"Erm, yes."

"Let's say 19h? At my place?"

"Erm, okay. Do I need to dress up?"

"No.", he smiled and left.

I told my mom and that it could get late, I told her I would go out with friends, but she just smiled.

I just wore a simple t-shirt and the new jeans, I styled my hair and left.

"Hello.", he opened the door.

"Hello."

"Come in."

"So what was your plan?", I sat down.

"Here.", he handed me a huge bag.

"What is it?"

"Just look."

It was the black suit I tried on in the little shop, he even remembered my size, at the bottom was a pair of black shiny shoes, also my size.

"Oh my god! No I can't take it."

"Yes you can. It is a present. Now get dressed, we have a table for 20h.", still not over the surprise I put in on.

When I came out of the bathroom, he waited for me, also wearing a suit.

'Shall we?", I just nodded with a smile.

We were in the city, but he covered my eyes, we walked a bit and then we stopped, I had no idea where we were.

"Ready?"

"Yes.", he let go.

We were in front of the cozy restaurant in the small street, it had a small red door and lamps in the windows. A warm light shining on the pavement.

"This looks wonderful."

"I thought you might like it, it's small, not too full and no one will see us."

Inside were little tables, some in nooks, some in the middle of the room and some at the windows.

We had a table in a nook with a window, a candle on the table.

"This is amazing, I love it."

"Glad to hear, do you know what you want to eat?"

"I think I take some pasta."

"Sounds good. I think I take pasta too."

"It's so expensive."

"Don't worry, I invited you.", he smiled.

"Are you sure?"

'Yes. Sarah, just did a trip to the most expensive hotel in the entire country. I think I can give you a lovely evening.", I smiled with a blush.

"When was the last time you were out?", he asked.

"I'm not very the party type."

"Last time someone invited you out?"

"Can't remember, I don't think anyone ever invited me except my parents on birthdays."

"You were never on a date?"

"Date?", I looked at him in shock.

"Don't stress, I just want you to have a nice evening.", he grabbed my hand and I nodded.

"I got something for you."

"Could you stop giving me presents, please?"

"Just enjoy this day, it's just dedicated to you.", he gave me a small box, I opened it shaking my head.

It was the snow globe I wanted, he really remembered everything. I had to fight the tears, no one ever did something like this for me.

The food was incredible, especially the dessert. We walked back to his apartment through the park, the stars were shining, and the water of the pond shimmered in the moonlight.

Back in his apartment, I took the jacket off, he just stood there smiling.

"What?"

"Nothing. Can I kiss you?", I gave him a sceptical look and nodded.

He pinned me to the wall, kissing me passionately, unbuttoning my shirt.

"Can you give me a t-shirt to sleep in?", I whispered out of breath.

"Do you need one?", he kissed me again.

Soon we fell on his bed, just wearing boxers, he kissed my neck and chest, I closed my eyes and enjoyed his touch, I wrapped my arms around his neck, he was warm and gentle, for the first time in years I had the desire to be loved, and he respected all my wishes.

The next morning, I woke up in his arms, he was behind me, his arm around my chest, it made me smile, he buried his face in my hair, giving me shivers.

"Morning.", he whispered.

"Morning.", grabbed his hand.

He pulled me closer, his naked body on mine, I turned around and kissed him. He put his hands on my back, one wandering up to my neck.

"Want breakfast?", he asked.

"Sure. But let's stay like this a bit longer."

"Whatever you want."

"When will Sarah come back?"

"Not before tonight, but more likely tomorrow morning.", he hugged my tighter.

"So we could spend the day together?"

"Yes.", he stood up.

"Can I take a shower here?"

"Of course. Just down the hallway."
