Vacant Dreamer (BWWM)

chapt. 15

6 months later:

"Oh shit!" Salecia exclaimed as her wine poured all over her light blue shorts.

"I'm so sorry. I think that the lights went out." Christopher said as he fumbled through the darkness.

"It's alright, I'm going to shower now anyways." She shrugged my shoulders, brushing off food crumbs on her shorts and gave a small smile.

Standing up as well, he cleared the table "The water might be a little cold, if that's alright with you?"

"I won't mind." I stated, manuvering my way around his living room. She quickly climbed up the stairs and entered his bathroom. Salecia tried to shower faster than she usually would because due to the fact that she was in someone else's bathroom.

Salecia hopped out of the shower and secured her towel around herself. Moments after she exited the shower the lights flickered back on. What am I going to wear? She thought as she remembered her wet and now stained clothes.

"Hey Chris, do you have anything that I can wear?" She yelled from the bathroom.

"Yeah, I laid some on the bed for you." He yelled back.

Salecia made her way to Christopher's bedroom consciously aware of the fact that she was naked and walking in his house. When she opened the door she met a pair of plaid boxers and an oversized shirt that said 'Fall Out Boy'. She smiled at the reference on his shirt. She folded the waistband twice and tucked in the shirt at the front. She flopped onto his bed and checked for notifications on her phone. After a couple of minutes, Christopher cautiously walked.

"You scared the fuck out of me." Salecia said literally jumping out of her skin.

"Oh, sorry. I thought that you were still in the bathroom." Christopher said bashfully.

"No, it's fine." Salecia finally managed to speak after realizing that she was staring at his naked torso.

"Oh." Christopher said as he realized why her words came out delayed. "Some of the wine spilled on my favorite shirt so I came up to change hoping you weren't here."

"Oh, I'm really sorry for that" I sincerely apologized.

He took a seat next to her and as their thighs touched, her heart sped up. Salecia subtly gazed at his v-line, wondering where it lead to.

"Salecia, are you checking me out?" He asked as a smirk rose to his mouth.

"What?! No!" She said, turning her head to the side to avoid being laughed at.

"You totally are, it's okay, I check you out sometimes as well." Christopher said, with a knowing smile.

"You do?" Salecia questioned, surprised at his comment.

"Yeah, why do you seem surprised at that? I'm sure that your past boyfriends have told you that you're... attractive." Christopher said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well, I've never had a boyfriend before." Salecia admitted so quietly she wasn't sure he heard.

"That's because you're smart. If you were a quote you would be... 'Books before boys.' " Christopher laughed, trying to lighten the mood.

Salecia couldn't help but smile. She loved it how the smallest things he would do would be monumental to her. She wondered if he knew.

The t-shirt that she was wearing slung down from her shoulder because of the fact it was a little big on her. Christopher instinctively pulled it back up, but let his hand linger around her shoulder as he brushed his fingertips against her collarbone and planted and planted a kiss on the most prominent part.

"Well, I like you." Christopher said, his voice low and husky.

 This caught Salecia off guard for a moment. "How much do you like me?" Salecia teased to stop herself from stammering.

He kissed her gently at first and Salecia let her hands rest behind his neck. Christopher slipped his hands under her thighs and hoisted her onto his lap. Salecia responded by wrapping her legs around his waist,  pulling herself closer to him. Christopher felt his erection rise as she straddled his waist, and Salecia seemed to notice as well. The kiss slowly progressed to something more passionate and desperate, his lips moved onto her jawline kissing it up and down. 

As the music seemed to drown in the moment, Salecia hadn't really known what the hell was going on but she did know that both she and Christopher were left in their underwear. She sat on his lap and ground into his waist, and his large hands roamed her body and he slipped his hands under her shirt, cupping her breast squeezing it so that a soft moan escaped her lips. At the of back her mind, she felt self conscious, her thighs and boobs weren't exactly model material and she wondered what he had thought.

Christopher's fingers trailed up the clip of her dark navy bra. After what felt like forever, he unclasped her bra and it fell to her lap. Salecia knew for sure that he intentionally did that just to tease her. She hastily discarded it onto the floor. Salecia suddenly felt exposed and self conscious because of the fact that she was sitting on Christopher's lap with nothing on but her panties. 

"What's wrong?" Christopher asked softly cradling her face in his both hands.

"Nothing." Salecia lied, refusing to make eye contact.

"Tell me." Christopher pushed, tilting her head toward him  so that she was forced to meet his gaze.

"I don't feel... beautiful." Salecia admitted quietly, tears brimming her eyes.

"That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. How can you  of all people not feel beautiful?!." Christopher stated with genuine disbelief. "I thought that I'd done something wrong." He said furrowing his eyebrows.

"No, you didn't do anything." Salecia said absently tracing his eyebrows as a stray tear obstinately fell from her eye. Salecia didn't think Christopher noticed, but he did.

He brushed it away with the back of his hand carefully. "You will always be beautiful to me." Christopher said into her hair as he pulled her into a warm embrace.

"I'm sorry." Salecia said regretfully.

"For what?" Christopher said, chuckling slightly to try and lighten the mood.

"Ruining our night." Salecia said look remorsefully into his eyes.

"Hey, you didn't ruin anything. We can do this another time." Christopher smiled, handing Salecia back his over sized F.O.B shirt.

"Thanks." Salecia smiled gratefully.

Salecia and Christopher layed down in his bed with songs playing soflty from his stereo. After what seemed life a blissful infinity of laying together staring at the ceiling, Christopher kissed Salecia on her head and  mumbled something into her hair.

"As clique as it may sound, I love you."

"I love you too." Salecia laughed.
