Chapter 09

I woke up before 9 am when I felt someone looming and looking at me. It was Richard. I totally forgot about him. He must be laughing at me now looking so messed up and curled up in the couch.

"Hey Taylor. Why were you sleeping on the couch? " said Richard.

"You sprawled over my bed you brat. How can I sleep there? " I said.

"I'm so sorry. You should have awaken me up so we can sleep together. And thanks for last night. I guess I was just too tired to move. Thanks for putting up with me, " he said.

"No problem. Are you hungry or something? Let me bring something here. I don't know if my folks are here yet, " I said.

"I think they are already here, " Richard said.

"Go change then. We'll go down together in a minute," I said. Richard moved around and looked for his clothes and changed. I stepped on the shower immediately to perk me up. I know my folks wouldn't mind that Richard slept here. I just want to avoid the awkward moments with them.

As we go down towards the kitchen, looking for breakfast, my mom popped out from nowhere and was surprised to see us there. " You are up early, Taylor. And who is this nice looking man here?" my mom said.

"Mom, this is Richard Atkins. Richard, this is my mom Lynda," I said.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Donovan, " he said.

"Just call me Lynda dear. And you are welcome here. Taylor, can I have a second with you? " I rolled my eyes and followed my mom to the receiving area. After few minutes, I went back to the kitchen. Richard was sitting on a stool looking at a tiny person on the side of the kitchen isle. That was my younger sister Jessica.

" Mommmmm !!!! Jessica is harassing Richard here in the kitchen. Can you please remove this tiny person from here... " I practically screamed.

Jessica slowly walked away from the kitchen and chanting, "Taylor's got a boyfriend... Taylor's got a boyfriend...." as she vanished from my sight.

"Sorry about that. I swear she's a Cougar trapped in an 8-year old body. " I said.

"Are you kidding? She's so adorable. She asks a lot of questions though. But I am not telling you the details ," he said.

"Fine. Let's just finish breakfast. I'm starving. " We silently finished our breakfast. It's about 10 a.m. and it looked like Richard wanted to hang out a little longer.

"Are you sure? You'll get bored in here. I'll tell mom you'll be staying for lunch but we have to take it later. Okay? " He just nodded. I led him again upstairs in my room. Maybe we can watch a movie together I told to myself.

"I like this one. Cliffhanger. " Richard grinning. "Seriously?", I responded. Without a word, he inserted the DVD and started to watch. I watched from my bed while he watched from the couch. After half an hour, I fell asleep only to be awaken by Richard as he snuggled near me. His head was resting on my chest as I placed my left arm to rest on his back. We were in that position like for hours. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable with our sleeping position because I was feeling hot like I was going to explode. But Richard fell asleep far too comfortable to be awaken. I could feel the calmness in his sleep. I stared at him for as long as I can remember and finally it dawned at me that at I'm falling in love with this gorgeously handsome guy. I never appreciated this handsome man in front of me because of my prejudice towards him. My feelings changed when I came to know him better.

"It's creepy to stare at people while sleeping, " Richard blurted out with his eyes still closed.

"Jesus Richard. You almost gave me a heart attack. I thought you were sleepong. "

"I was but you were thinking so loud you woke up your neighbors within a kilometer radius. " He said.

"Shut up. I was silent as a mouse here. I wasn't thinking anything at all ? Change you just wake up now? We've been sleeping long enough." I said.

"You can do better than that Taylor." As I looked at his face again, with his eyes still closed, I was tempted to kiss those luscious lips. I moved my face closer to his and without saying a word, I pressed my lips into his. He responded with an equally tender kiss until our passion built up and our kisses became deeper and more aggressive. It felt amazingly sensual.

I stroke his hair with my right hand while gripping his arm with my left. Our bodies moved together closer and more intimate almost rubbing our skin together. We pulled out the kiss as we catch our breath and kissed again and this time, longer and harder. He bit my lower lip softly and I did the same with his. I never realized kissing can this be so erotic too. I was about to pull out his shirt when suddenly, a loud knocking landed at my door.

"Taylor !!! Mom said you should take your lunch now with Richard. Nowww!!!! " Jessica shouting at the top of her lungs.

I'll be damned. My perfect moment is ruined. "I'm sorry Richard but we have to go down now."

"Don't worry about it Taylor. We have enough time for ourselves."
