Thinking Out Loud

Chapter 22: Good night

Blake's POV

I followed Kamri and Trevor upstairs while carrying a cup of gin.  As I stepped inside my son's room, I saw Kamri sitting by the bed and Trevor was on his bed wearing a big smile.  He must have been so excited to hear a bedtime story though Mrs. Simons usually did.  I was totally grateful for all the efforts that Mrs. Simons did for my son.  I was surprised he asked Kamri to read a bedtime story.  Everything seemed so fast.  This morning, he despised seeing Kamri but all of sudden, he kinda liked her.  Somehow, Kamri enchanted my son to fall into her spell.  

I sat down on the couch in front of my son's bed watching them.  Kamri turned her head and looked at me wondering why the heck I was here.

"Is there anything wrong if I'm here and watch how you deliver a story to my son?" I asked crossing my legs and raising one of my eyebrows.

"hmmm... I'm a little bit shy." She hushly replied to me. 

"Kamri... Kamri..  Let's start." My son requested.  He reached for Kamri's hands and sat on her lap.  How nice it was to see a scene like this.  If my wife was here....

"Uhm... "  Kamri cleared her throat and started to tell the story about the three little pigs.  She changed her voice and mimic a pig's voice.  My son chuckled a lot.  Hearing my son laughing and enjoying fattened  my heart.  

Wow, Kamri got a talent in story telling and in making the story more interesting.  She had her moves that was kinda funny.  The more I stared at Kamri, the more I realized how charming she was.  Behind the boyish character she showed to us, a soft and feminine woman was being kept in the dark.  

Kamri finished the story with a twist and it made me laugh as well.  It was a dope story telling and I liked it too. Trevor  opened his mouth and yawned loudly while twisting and turning his body.

"That's all for tonight little sleepy head."  Kamri tapped my son's head and tucked him in.  

"Will you tell another story for me tomorrow?"  Trevor pleaded again though he was almost falling asleep.

"Hmmm..... maybe, if your dad permits me." She winked at me while pulling the sheets up.  

"Daddy?" Trevor cutely asked.

I stood from my seat and went towards the side of his bed.  

"Scoot over." I demanded Kamri who was at the side of the bed.

"What? Show some manners for a lady."  She replied with a frown.

"Lady?" I hissed. 

"Ok... no problem my dear. Sleep tight. Okay?" I caressed his forehead and face.

"Daddy? There's no monster, right?" Trevor asked.  He frequently asked this queer question over and over again. I gave him a kiss for goodnight and he smiled at me.

"Daddy, why didn't you give Kamri a goodnight kiss too?"  He blurted out of the blue.  I was dumbfounded when my son spoke those words. 

"No.. no.. no... I don't need it Trevor." Kamri reacted hesitantly.  She took a step backwards slowly. 

"But Daddy, you said before good people deserve a goodnight kiss."  He strongly reminded me of the words I told him most of the time to remind him that being good receives a goodnight kiss reward. 

"Daddy? Daddy? I think Kamri is a good person like me and she works hard.. and.... and... and...and... I love her bedtime story."  He explained. 

I looked at my son. He pouted his lips while uttering those words. 

" Okay.. okay.... I will give her a goodnight kiss. " I said just to end the persistent request of my son.  His eyes glimmered with happiness from what I said.  He giggled again. 

I stood up and turned towards Kamri.  She was two feet away from me.  She grinned to me and her eyes told me not to do what my  son was requested.

"I don't think I need a goodnight kiss.  I'm big enough for that."  She said while stepping backwards. 

I took a deep sigh and.....

Now, I was inches away from her and she was frozen stiffed. Her eyes were restless and couldn't focus on me.  

"Goodnight, my dear mutilated assistant." I said. Her face turned sour.  This time she showed off her tiger look and I could sense she wanted to implant a punch on my face. 

I placed my hands on her shoulder and leaned forward giving her a kiss.  Suddenly..... 

whooosh......

Someone pushed me from behind.

"Hahahahhahahaha... Daddy, make it quick!" Trevor was standing behind us and laughing.

When I turned my head, I didn't realize that I was already embracing her and she was too close to me.  

"Did you hear your son? Make it quick! I feel awkward now."  She said frankly while she was still in my arms. 

"Where is my goodnight kiss?" She jokingly asked.  She must have regained her pace of annoying me.

"Wait, after this, I badly need to wipe my fucking lips to get rid of the bacteria and germs feasting on year skin." I hissed.

"Wow, you such a clean freak.  What do you think of me? "  She kept on speaking and speaking.  I guessed I somehow lost my mind and I had no idea what I did.  

I let go of her and she was still frozen stiffed.  Her eyes grew bigger and bigger as if she was at the state of maximum shock.  Trevor gave me a thumbs up.

"Goodnight Trevor. C'mon.  We still have to finish the boxes for tomorrow."  I demanded Kamri.  I turned off the lights inside my son's room and headed downstairs.

Kamri was following quietly.  She didn't say any words. I couldn't believe myself that I kissed her on her lips.  Did I lose my mind? I had never done it in my entire life.  I usually kissed alluring and sexy women.  Not Kamri. She was never my type. 

Two hours passed but Kamri hadn't spoken yet.

"Hey, I couldn't take the silence at all.  Speak."  I commanded.

" You know, I need to keep it off my chest! Why did you kiss me? Trevor said only goodnight kiss on the...... fore.. head! Not lips!  "  She said with teary eyes.

"Hey, why are you so emotional?"  I asked.  She panicked a bit and I wondered why she reacted too much. It was just a kiss.  

"Do you know, you stole my first kiss."  She shyly replied.  Her face turned red.  I smelled the scent of embarrassment inside the living room.

"First kiss?" I laughed out loud.  " What? In that age,you haven't kiss anyone?"  I couldn't bear laughing but she looked  furious and serious. 

"Yeah, it is true! I'm saving it but I lost it from my boss.  What?  This is scandalous! "  She said with an angry face.

"Knock it off. Forget about it. At least, you tasted my mouth and felt the softness of my lips."

"What? I think you need to show a little respect and modesty Mr. Blake Davis."  She demanded defiantly.

"But we are outside the company premises now." I added. 

The whole night, we kept on arguing like kids.  Honestly, when I was with Kamri, I felt like a kid.  I felt comfortable when I was with her.  I enjoyed getting into her nerves.  I didn't understand this kind of fetish. Now, I found out she hadn't kissed anyone in her entire life and me being her first kiss..... was kinda cool.
