Unexpected Love

Take my time..

Robyn

I awoke snuggled up in a bed that I knew wasn't mine. Feeling the bed empty, I looked underneath the covers and saw the unfamiliar clothes that were on me. That's when I smelled the familiar scent that I liked and remembered where I was. I got up out the bed and exited the room then made my way to the living room where I saw Chris sleeping on the couch. How sweet of him to put me in his bed as he slept out here. His gentleman ways were highly appreciated and it was scoring him extra points with me.

I checked the time and saw it was 4:30 in the morning. We still had a couple hours to sleep and from the night I had, that's definitely what I was gonna do. I tapped on his shoulder to wake him up. He wasn't making any type of moves so I bent down next to him and whispered in his ear.

"Chris, wake up."

"No mommy, I'm tired," he said in a raspy sleepy voice.

I started rubbing his leg, "Chris get up," I whispered again.

All of a sudden, his hand grabbed mine and his eyes shot open, "Keep rubbing my leg girl you gonna start some shit in here."

I giggled, "We wouldn't want that now would we?"

"Hell yeah, fuck is you talkin' bout."

I looked at him up and down, "Oh really? So you want to fuck me?"

He slowly sat up and stared right in my eyes, "Yeah I do, but I also wanna make love and take my time with you. I respect you too much to just fuck you, but it can happen babygirl, don't forget that," he winked at me then got off the couch.

"So what you woke me up for? It ain't morning yet," he asked as he stretched.

"I woke you up so you could come get in the bed with me."

He stared at me wide-eyed, "What? For real?"

"Nah, for fake. Yes for real Chris. I don't want you out here hurting your back while I'm all comfortable in your bed."

"I'll be good ma-

"No Christopher, you're gonna go in that room, get in that bed with me and we're gonna go to sleep. Do you understand?"

He began to smile, "How you know my full name?"

"Um, you told me remember?"

"Ohhh, that's right," he started laughing at himself.

"Yeah smart guy, I think you need some more sleep."

"Yeah I think so too, lets go," he held out his hand and I grabbed it then he led the way to his bedroom. We both got in the bed and as I laid on one side, he moved closer to the other side.

"Chris you know you can move closer if you want, I won't bite."

"What you talking about? I am close to you."

"Look at all that damn space between us," I turned around and so did he as he was able to see the big space.

"Oh, um you sure Rob?"

"Chris if you don't move closer, I'm leaving."

He chuckled, "Nah don't do me like that girl. I got you."

He moved his body closer to mine and I did the same so our bodies were now touching each other.

"Is it alright if I put my arm around you ma?"

I looked at him and smiled, "Of course."

He put his arm around me as I put my head on his chest and I wrapped my arm around his body. As we laid there, I began thinking about the moment. The fact that I was this comfortable with him was astounding and I was enjoying it. Being in this close proximity with a man after what happened to me, I didn't think it was possible. I had a gut feeling that was telling me to trust him and I couldn't help it. Everything felt right being with him and it was as if all my problems and troubles went away. He was a great person to talk to and I knew if I ever needed anything he would be there. I wasn't too sure about the sex part yet but if things go well between us, you never know what might happen. It was good to know that he didn't just want me for my body. This was something I could definitely get used to but I don't wanna get my hopes up too high. You never know what could happen.

I awoke a few hours later to the loud sounds of Jon B.'s "They Don't Know." The sunlight was the next thing to hit me as it shine brightly in my face. I looked and saw the bed was empty and I knew Chris had to be the one out there. I groggily got out the bed and exited the room towards wherever the music was coming from. It was playing loudly on his gigantic speakers that were in his living room beside his t.v but he wasn't in there. All of a sudden, I could hear singing coming from the kitchen so I followed it. There was Chris, cooking what smelled like bacon, shirtless and singing along to the song. I was very surprised at how well he sounded. I sat down at the island behind him and watched in awe at his freeness. I guess he didn't notice me come in because he continued dancing and singing until the next song, which was "One in A Million" came on, and that's when he finally turned around.

"Fuck Robyn! You scared the shit out of me."

I started laughing, "I'm sorry Chris, I didn't wanna interrupt your Aaliyah moment."

"So you was watching me the whole time?"

I nodded my head. He came around slowly to my side and looked down at me with those beautiful seducting brown eyes.

"You liked what you saw?"

"Y-yes," I breathlessly said.

"Do me a favor," he leaned closer to me with his face inches away from mine.

"How about you go and brush them stank ass teeth wit' yo hot ass breath?"

I looked at him in horror and quickly covered my mouth with my hands.

"I'll be back," I mumbled and ran as fast as I could out the kitchen to the bathroom.

"They're on top of the cabinet!," he yelled after me.

As soon as I reached the bathroom, I hurriedly grabbed the box of toothbrushes on top of the cabinet and ripped them open. Grabbing the first one I saw, I immediately brushed my yet not once but twice. After I was done I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my major bedhead. As I attempted to fix it, I got the feeling that someone was watching me and when I turned my head, there was Chris leaning on the doorway, staring at me.

"What are you looking at?," I asked him, a little caught off guard by him.

He shrugged his shoulders, "Just admiring the view."

"There's not much to admire, I look a hot mess."

"That's where you're wrong Robyn, you look amazing. Even with a little bedhead, you are still beautiful. I'm surprised you don't know that."

I blushed at his compliments and put my head down and stared at the floor.

"T-thank you Chris."

"Your welcome princess."

As soon as he said that, I could feel the butterflies flapping away in my stomach.

"Put your head up ma," he demanded and I did what he told me.

"So you like what you see?"

He walked towards me, never breaking eye contact and stood directly in front of me with our bodies nearly touching.

"I love it," he said as his hands slowly caressed my arms.

He closed his eyes, looking like he was preparing to kiss me so I quickly closed mine and waited for his lips to meet mine. I was quickly disappointed when I instead felt his lips gently kiss my forehead.

"I'm hungry and I know you are too so after you done in here come out so we can eat," he said and sent me a wink before exiting out the bathroom.

I'm not gonna lie, I was really anticipating for him to kiss me but I guess this was his way of showing me how slow he wanted us to go and when the time comes for us to do that, it will. But the way he's acting towards me, I hope I'm patient enough to see all the things he has to offer me, before I explode from no body contact.

I looked in the mirror one more time before taking a deep breath and joining Chris in the kitchen.
