Loving, Mr Waters

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

THANDO
I woke up around four am today my whole body dancing with excitement about spending the weekend with Matthew. I didn't get much of sleep last night probably because I kept waking up and checking the time and eventually I gave up at four am when I couldn't sleep at all.
I'm like a child who's going on a trip unable to sleep due to excitement.
If this was a normal weekend and I had to wake up early I'd be extremely grumpy but here I am energized this Saturday. I check my phone the time reading ten minutes to six. I'm all dressed up in my pink short yoga pants and an oversized white top with my white sneakers. My hair is all tied up in my natural afro ponytail and I feel all ready for my surprised trip with Matthew.
I wonder where he is taking me.
My doorbell rings and I practically run downstairs to open the door but stop before opening it calming myself. After calming my heart for a minute I open the door and there stands the man of my dreams holding my favorite Tulip flowers.
I can't with this man.
Is he always going to have my favorite flowers with him every time we see each other?
God, I hope so.
Without thinking I throw myself at him taking him by surprise as I kiss him. For a moment he doesn't kiss me back but after a while he kisses me back with passion. His hands goes to my ass like always squeezing it.
Yep, this man is obsessed with my ass and I don't mind at all. He can squeeze this ass of mine any time of the day.
We break our kiss both of us needing air while he's smiling at me.
Where's my phone when I need it?
His smile deserves to be captured and plastered in an art gallery for the whole world to see.
"Now that's a good way to start the day." Matthew says as he takes my hand leading me inside. We walk into my kitchen and Matthew opens the fridge taking a bottle of water to drink.
"Hi, are those mine?" I ask pointing at the flowers he's still holding on the other hand.
"Of course. Where is your vase?"
"Just right there." I point where the vase is and he carefully puts them inside then walks back to me as if him bringing me flowers every time is a normal thing to do.
"Are you done packing?"
"Yes. Let me go upstairs and fetch my suitcase."
"I'll help." He says as he starts walking in the direction of my room.
How is he so comfortable around me and walking so freely in my house?
Matthew has been in my house before but he's never seen my bedroom not even once which is why I'm a bit skeptical about showing him my room.
I block my bedroom door before he can enter. "Anything you see in my room you're not allowed to judge."
"What? You have pictures of me plastered all over your walls?" He raise his eyebrows.
I laugh. "You wish Mr Waters."
I finally open the door allowing him the view of my bedroom for the first time. I wait by the door as he takes in my room and finally his eyes land on my childhood stuff elephant teddy bear.
"Don't start." I remind him when I see him fighting his smile while looking at me.
"I didn't say anything." He raise his hands. "But I must admit I didn't take you for a girl that has teddy bears around her room."
"Excuse you, it's one teddy." I tell him and Matthew shakes his head chuckling.
"Whatever you say baby at least now I know what to get you for your birthday." He tells me as he continues looking around my room. Having him here in my private space feels so intimate and I don't know whether that's because it's him in here or just how I feel.
"You better be joking." I tell him but he ignores me.
"Your room is very neat." He comments after a while.
"Why do you say those words like you're surprised?" I ask.
Surely he didn't expect to find my clothes all over the floor and my bed not made.
"Whoa." He raise his hands in surrender. "I was just complimenting your room." He tells me before he adds. "It's just that the most of the woman I've been with usually have messy rooms so it's refreshing to be in a neat room for a change."
Huh? Interesting.
How many woman has he slept with to know have much information about messy room?
My heart warns me not to ask him but clearly I want to get my heart broken cause I say. "Exactly how many woman have you been with?"
"That's not important." He says uncomfortable but I push wanting to know.
"Well it's important to me. Tell me."
"I don't know."
"What?" I eye him. "What do you mean you don't know?"
"Exactly that. I've had my fair share of woman Thando. I'm not going to stand here and lie to you about how many woman I've slept with." He answers.
I know I shouldn't be jealous especially because I wasn't in the picture but fuck I can't help it.
"Okay." I say trying to act unfazed but of course Matthew notices.
"Are you jealous?"
I take my suitcase about to walk out when he holds my wrists stopping me.
"Don't be ridiculous of course I'm not jealous." I tell him trying to get away from him but he only holds my wrist tighter but not enough to hurt me.
"How many guys have you been with?" He asks.
I scoff. "Easy, three."
Matthew looks at me shocked like he doesn't believe me.
"What? You seriously didn't think I was a virgin right?"
"Let's rather leave it at that. I'm no longer interested in this conversation."
"Now who's jealous?" I ask as he let go of me and take the suitcase heading out of the room.
"Not me." He answers but I can tell he's jealous.
Good for him.
"Sure lover boy." I say smiling.
"Drop it." He warns.
"Alright, alright." I laugh.
We lock my apartment then walk to the garage where I see his car expensive car packed. After we both get inside and fasten our seatbelt we hit the road.
"I bought coffee for you, its there one right there." He says pointing on the cup holder. I take mine noticing his is already half drank.
I take a sit and my mouth is blessed with the best coffee ever. Delicious.
"Now this is good stuff." I say unable to stop drinking it. "Aren't you going to tell me where we're going?"
"No. You've got to be patient and wait."
"Now I'm curious."
"I know but your patience will pay off."

Thirty minutes later we arrive at the airport and even though he texted me to have my passport with me I'm still shocked we're really about to go somewhere that requires us to fly. His private jet is already ready waiting and the staff welcome us as we get inside. I take in the jet that I've been in my whole life now but the atmosphere is different about it today.
I guess it's because I'm not traveling with my friends or his family but with Matthew all on our own.
"Welcome on board Mr Waters and Miss Khumalo." The flight attendant Nicole greets us.
"Hi Nicole." Both Matthew and I say at the same time.
"Would you both like anything to eat or drink?"
"Yes please. I've already asked for breakfast to be prepared?" Matthew tells Nicole.
"Of course. I'll be back with your breakfast in a minute."
"Thank you." Matthew says and Nicole disappears leaving us alone.
Our pilot announces for us to get sit down and fasten our seatbelts as the plane takes off.
"Aren't you scared Nicole is going to tell Kayla or your parents that I'm here alone with you? I'm pretty sure she can tell something is going on between us Matthew." I ask him nervous about our loved one finding out.
"No. No one on this jet will dare say anything to anyone. I already spoke to them not to say anything and I have full faith that they won't."
I can't help worrying but I guess I should trust him on this one. I feel his hand taking mine as he kiss it.
"Don't be nervous baby. We will be the ones who tell our family about us."
"Okay."
Nicole appears with our breakfast and we thank her as we start eating. Matthew and I eat silently both of enjoying the silence and our delicious meal. After what feels like hours the pilot announces our arrival. I don't know how Matthew did it but somehow he managed to keep the secret of our trip and it's only when we step out of the jet that I finally know our destination.
"Welcome to Utah." He says as his hands wraps around my waist and he kisses my neck.
"Oh, you good I'll give you that. I can't believe you brought me to one of my favorite places." I smile extremely happy.
"I'm glad you're happy. The original plan was to take you to Paris baby but my plans didn't go accordingly. But I promise I'll take you there soon."
There he goes again with his promises.
The fact that he's already planning our trip makes me beyond happy. I can't put into words the joy I'm feeling right now I as stand here with Matthew.
"Come on. The day awaits us. We have a lot to do with limited time." He says as he leads me to the car that is waiting for us.
