I Want You To Stay

Affectionate

Teri's POV

I can't stop thinking about her. Who? Sherri duh. After what happened between us this morning I haven't stop thinking about her. I'm now laying in my bed at 12:00 at night. I'm having a bad time trying to close my eyes. I don't know why but every time I close my eyes I see Sherri getting ready to touch my breast before she slid from underneath me. I could just go to her room but I don't want her to run away like she did this morning. I honestly felt sad so upset. I soon hear a knock on the door which throws me out of my train of thoughts. "Yeah come in," I whisper before the door slightly opens and Cierra comes in. "Hey love bug what's wrong? Why are you still up?" She comes over and jumps on my bed before snuggling under the covers next to me. "I couldn't sleep. Can I sleep with you Tete?" I smile and put my arm around her while she lays on my chest. "I could never say no to you. What the floor got too uncomfortable?" She laughs and nods her head. "Yeah," I smile and kiss the top of her head. "Well maybe the floor thought it would be safe for you to start sleeping on beds now," she giggles again. "Probably. I just like sleeping on the floor since we always had to sleep on the floor in Brazil. Mama didn't have any money for mattresses," and she says she didn't need my help. "Oh well sweetie you're lucky you have me. Why didn't you go lay with your mama?" I asked her. "Because she's usually asleep at this time. And when I was asleep in the car yesterday you said that you have trouble sleeping at night," wow well this one is a light sleeper. "Well I thought you were sleep but I see you're a light sleeper huh?" She nods and leans up kissing me on my cheek and laying her head back on my chest. "Goodnight Tete," God how much I love that nickname. "Goodnight Cece," bet she loves that nickname too. We fell asleep in each others arms all night.

Sherri's POV 

Morning arrived and all night I couldn't sleep from thinking about Teri. Damn she was killing me yesterday morning. I really did want to touch her breast but it's too early for sexual contact with her. We just met for gods sake. Slowly getting out the bed and rolling over to put my flippers on to go check on Cierra to see if she's awake. When I knock on her door and open it I see that she's not in her usual spot on the floor. "What the," I then go check in Teri's room and open the door slightly and notice my baby is cuddling wit Teri in her bed. I smile just looking at the both of them. Teri soon turns around and stares at me for a minute. "Good morning lovely," I love the pet name she just gave me shit. "Good morning," I push the door open enough so I can slide in and close it behind me. I stand right in front of the both of them staring and Cierra peacefully sleeping on Teri's chest. "Come here," Teri moves over and Cierra turns her back towards us and moves to the edge of the bed. She pulls my arm and I instantly put my head on her chest while she plays with my curls. "That's better," she sighs and I giggle. "Ah ha ha. Your pinning me down to your chest. I would have moved my head already," I could of swung she kissed the top of my head. "I don't want to let go of you baby girl," FUCK TERI! "Oh really," I move her arm so I can get up but she pulls me down again. "No, no don't go. I need you baby," TERRRRIIIII! "I'm baby huh?" She giggles and become quiet. She quiet for at least 2 minutes before she talked again. "Am I moving too fast?" I was thinking the same thing. She is going to fast we hardly know each other. "To be honest Teri. You are moving a little too fast. We hardly know each other and your already being affectionate," hey look I'm telling the truth don't judge. "Well you're killing me here. You're so god damn beautiful it makes me want to," she then moves her hand in my shirt almost touching my breast before I stop her. "No," I get out the bed and leave the room. Ughhh why do I keep running away from her. It's not like I don't like her I really do. I think I can't let her touch me that way because she'll be a new person touching my body besides my husband.

Teri's POV

I really need to figure out what's up with Sherri. How come every time I touch her she runs away? I honestly though she wanted the same thing. Maybe I need to take 4 steps back? Clearly I'm 4 steps ahead. Sherri is right I am moving too fast and I need to slow down. I can't touch her like that with out her permission. "Tete?" I turn my head to the left and notice Cierra was staring at me the whole time I was thinking. "Hey Cece. Good morning love," she smiles and puts her head on my chest. I guess my chest is way more comfortable than a floor. "You like my chest or something?" I asked her. "Yeah it's like sleeping on a floor," well she just told me my chest his hard like the floor. I'm a little hurt right there. "Ouch hurtful," she then kisses my cheek and gets out the bed running out the room. "HEY WHERE YOU GOING LOVE BUG!" I yell. "I'M HUNGRY TETE!" She's just like her mother. I got up myself and made my way down stairs. On my way downstairs I smelt some waffles and bacon being cooked. Wait BACON! Running down the stairs and jumping on Sherri's back. "BACON!" Ooops I almost made her drop the pan hahaha. "Jesus Teri you scared the living crap out of me. Yes we are having bacon now can you get off my back before I really drop the pan on my feet," no fun. I jump down and fix my shirt walking over to Cierra and sitting next to her. "Tete, I finished your drawing," Cierra says sliding the drawing of Jordans next to me. "Oh wow, love, this is nice," I notice all the details in the drawing. It looks like a real Jordan. "I didn't know what was your favorite color so I couldn't really color it your favorite color but these are my favorite. The Retro 13's," Sherri slides the bacon onto my plate and comes to stand behind me while I eat the bacon not taking my eyes off the drawing. "Wow baby that's cool, you really know how to draw," I turn my head to smile at her which makes her smile the biggest before Sherri whispers in my ear. "I need to talk to you after your done with your bacon," I nod slowly and watch her while she sits the pan down and walk up stairs not looking back.

Sherri's POV

I can't believe I'm telling a stranger about why I'm not letting her touch me. I still don't know shit about this women but I'm allowing myself to open up to her. Damn it Sherri! Well there's no turning back now. About 4 minutes past buy before the door slightly opens and Teri squeezes in the room closing the door silently. "What's wrong love?" She ask me sitting on the bed 4 inches away from me. "I'm not letting you touch me because..." she cuts me off. "No you don't have to explain to me I understand why I can't touch you. I know I'm crossing boundaries I need to slow down. And.. And I know that we hardly know each other. And we need to get to know each other before we come that comfortable around each other," she takes a deep breath and loos down at her hands. I soon scoot myself closer to her leaving 2 inches of space in between us. I take her hands into mine causing her to look in my eyes. Man those hazel eyes are so intense. "Look, yes that's why I don't want you touching me but another reason is. When  Cierra was little her father died and I lost my virginity to him. He's the only person who's seen my body besides my mother and father. I didn't trust anyone looking at my body or touching me without consent," she nods slowly and leans her forehead against mine. "That's all you had to say sweetie. You know I'll understand right," I nod. "Okay, look at me, I'm not a judgmental person at all I promise okay?" I nod again. "Okay, but tomorrow night I'll have to ride to the airport and fly to Texas I have to go help the people in Texas who were affected by the hurricane. I wont be back until that week Friday. Are you okay with that?" No I'm not okay with that. I would of thought that she'll quit The Corps and be a police officer or something since her bestfriend died. But I lied anyways. "Yeah I'm fine with that," I nod and she removes her head from mine. "I'll look for Cierra a school tonight and I'll help you find a job tomorrow. Maybe a easy one for now like a fast food restaurant or a regular restaurant or something. Is that okay with you?" God she is so helpful. She reminds me of Kamar. "Yeah. But I got a question. Why didn't you quit The Corps since your best friend died? I would of thought you'll quit and be a police officer in San Diego or something," she clears her throat before answering. "Just because Danny died doesn't give me the right to quit. He would of wanted me to stay and finish my years here. And I'm not doing this for Danny I'm doing this for my father," she never did talk about her father I want to know more. "What happened to your father? Umm if you don't mind me asking?" She nods and clears her throat again. I notice that's something she does when she's uncomfortable and her nose twitches. "My father died when I was younger he was only in his 20's when he died. He was apart of The Marine Corps and his father was and his father father was. So I wanted to continue the generation. I don't think I'll be having any kids. If my wife would like to have kids I'll love to have one with her. Not that I have a wife," did she just admit to me that she's gay. WOAH THERE TIGER. "Oh, okay," she then uses her thumb to rub my cheek which makes me whimper some. "Does that feel good," I bite my bottom lip and nod slowly closing my eyes. She then removes her hand and leaves the room. "I'll see you later I'll be in Cierra's room she's teaching me how to draw Jordans," I roll my eyes and giggle before she leaves. FUCK I WANTED HER TO KISS ME SO FUCKING BAD! WHY DIDN'T SHE KISS ME!
