He calls Me Princess

The Wake Up Call

At the rate I'm going, this story will be over pretty soon. But things are pretty rough. I'm really stressed lately and I'm moving, so I'm spending a lot of time packing and cleaning. I'm so sorry guys. I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Ring. Ring. Ring Ring. Ring.

"OH MY GOD, IM GOING INSANE!!! I CAN ALREADY HEAR THE VOICES!!!"
I scream, bringing the fluff on my lap to full attention as he searches for the threat.

"Oh wait, it's just the house phone. Whoops." I say grabbing the phone off of the coffee table.

"Hello?" I say calmly, as sterling rests his head on my lap once again.

"Hey Princess, it's me Alex. I just wanted to let you know I'm picking Aana up from daycare now. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"No I'm fine. And although that's really sweet, I actually wanted to cook you cuties dinner. If its ok with you and baby."

"Baby?"

"Aana."

"Oh. Why don't you ask her yourself, she's right here."

I hear a 'gimme' and an annoyed 'pleeease'.

"Hi Princess!!! I'm Aana." she giggles.

"I know baby, I wanted to ask you a question."

"Me? Ok!!"

"I want to make dinner for everyone. Would you like that?"

"Even me?"

"Even you." I chuckle.

"YEA!! I love that!!"

"You love what?"

"Um, whatever you're making!!" she squeals.

"Ok then. I'll get started right after I talk to your big brother. Can you hand him the phone?"

"Hey Princess. Its Alex."

"Looks like I'm cooking dinner. I'll get started right now. How far away are you?" I ask selecting ingredients.

"Maybe 10 minutes."

"Ok. Bye Handsome."

"Bye Princess."

I get started on the meat for the main dish. I take out some ground beef and puff pastries. This isn't the traditional way to make empanadas, but it'll do.

While I'm cooking the meat I hear the front door open and close. Aana came running at me, full speed and almost broke my knee caps.

BOTH of them might I add.

But she is so cute I can't get mad. Then Alex comes into the kitchen with a big smile on his face.

"What's got you so happy?" I question.

"I come home to the smell of good food, a sleeping dog, and a beautiful woman in my kitchen. What would I be frowning for?"

He says grabbing me by the waist and pulling me into him. I put my arms on his shoulders and smile.

I've never been so comfortable around a stranger in my entire life. But he's not really a stranger, he saved my life. I've known him for only 2 days but they've been the best two days of my life. I'm treated like a queen, I love this little girl, I really like Alex, and I sleep with a 150 pound bag of fluff and love.

I planted a peck on his lips, teasing him. Then I let him go and try to turn around. And it almost goes to plan, except he still had a good grip on my waist, so he pulled me into him with my back to his chest. He leaned in close to my ear and whispered "If you can tease, so can I." he said gripping my inner thigh, Then he let me go.

My knees went weak and I wanted to take him right there, but sadly our relationship was too young and so was his sister.

I stood locked in place for a good minute and a half, because I know if I were to take just one measley step, knees would've buckled under me. I hear him laugh at my frozen state.

After my trance broke I went back to cooking. I made empanadas with a side of rice and beans and salad.

"Is it done yet?" Aana asked dramatically holding her tummy.

"Yep. If you and Alex set the table I'll serve everyone."

"Ok! C'mon Alex, dinner is ready and I'm dyiiiing."

But Alex had already set the table and was patiently waiting against the fridge.

So we set the food on the table along with the coconut soda Alex had bought. As I was slightly bent over serving Aana, Alex smacked my ass and said "Nice butt Princess."

That smug little, UGGGH. Ok, it takes 2 to tango buddy. "I know." I wink, purposely saying from side to side as I finished serving Aana.

We sat at the huge table for 22 as We dug in.

"Wow, princess this is really good!" I blushed as Alex stuffed his face with rice and beans.

"Yea! It's really good Onyx!" Aana said biting the the empanada. I'm not eating.

I'm just not hungry.

"Princess, don't do that. It's bull. You're beautiful. Eat some. You did an amzing job cooking, don't just watch us. I can hear your stomach begging for it." he said serving me. He placed the plate in front of me and I just stared at it.

"Princess look at me."

I looked at his face but only at the bridge of his nose.

"In. My. Eyes."

Something in his tone brought my eyes to his and I want to eat. I really do. I looked down at the plate of hot food. I didn't even know I was eating while I was doing it. My mind was just blank. All I felt was hungry. So I ate everything he served me. We all finished around the same time.

Everyone enjoyed the food and went to bed. Me and Alex snuggled up in the master bedroom.

"Did you really mean that?" I asked.

"Every word. Look at you. You're gorgeous. Whoever tried to make you feel different is jealous. And it's obvious why."

Why are you so perfect?" I thought to myself. And while I was falling asleep, with my back to his chest, his big arms around me and our feet tangled under the sheets, I could have sworn I heard him say "I was just born that way."
