From The Start

Nathan

Candy and I worked to get past the obstacles that we were facing now. We accepted the fact that things would change as our relationship grew and progressed.

My birthday was in two days and of course I wanted to spend it with Candice. She told me she had a surprise for me and as much as I didn't like surprises, I couldn't wait to see what it is she had prepared. My phone vibrated at the nightstand and I reached over from my bed to look over the caller ID. I dropped the book I was reading for school and answered immediately.

"Hey baby, what's up?" I greeted cheerily.

"Oh, well someone sounded like they expecting me." she giggled cutely and I couldn't help but crack a smile.

"Well, that could be a possibility. What are you doing?" I sat up and propped my elbow onto my folded arm to support my hand.

"Oh nothing, just planning out a certain surprise for someone." She indicated and I sighed playfully at the mentioning her surprise every chance she had.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it, what ever it is."

"Good, because I know you'll like it." She sounded so confident and sexy.

"I'll hold you to that!" I added and suddenly, I couldn't help but to ask. "So babe..."

"Hmm?" She hummed.

I couldn't help but to hold my breath. "What are you wearing?" I asked in the most subtle, seductive way possible and I could tell she was apprehensive to answer at first.

"Oh, just my pajamas." she spoke nonchalantly. It definitely wasn't the answer that I was expecting to hear.

"What do those pajamas look like?" I continued to pry.

"Um, well there's lace involved." She stopped and my breath hitched at her obvious tease. My mind wandering to the endless imagery of her undressing, right here, in my room... "Oh! And I have on a pair silk pink panties." My eyes widened.

"What kind of pajamas are those?" I perked up in curiosity.

"The ones that are easier to take off." She revealed in a low growl. I knew she was teasing but all I wanted was to indulge it.

"So, are you hinting that I would be the ones taking them off of you?" I eased into my bed frame to get more comfortable.

"It really depends on what you're willing to do?" She let out a melodic chuckle that created butterflies in my stomach and awakened my friend. I tried my best to keep composure, even though I made it pretty clear that I wanted her not only mentally and emotionally but physically.

"Nate, baby, are you there?" I didn't realize I was so deep in thought, as the sound of Candice's was faint.

"Yea, I'm here."

Thank God it was Saturday. It was day of Candice's surprise and she told me to get out of the house and come pick her up. I pulled up to her house within an hour like she instructed and went up to the porch to ring the bell, but the door swung open before I could place a finger on the button.

"Hey Nathan, how nice of you to drop by," Rey emerged with a pleasant smile.
I did a double take.

"Isn't this Candice's house?" I responded confused. She just giggled and snatched up my hand to pull me into the house. I hesitated initially but then the smell of something floral and sweet bathed in my nose and I froze mid-way. "What's going on?" I looked around at the dimly lit house and the gaping silence worried me. "Where's Candice?" Nothing...
