Under These Circumstances

11.

Michael

I woke up and looked around. I was in Alexis' place on her couch. I smiled remembering the night before.

After Alexis finished her sketches we didn't do anything. Not that I didn't want to but the moment had died after she took about 2 hours finishing up her work. We just watched some more movies and ended up falling asleep.

But I wasn't upset. I was the complete opposite. After the first time I kissed her, I thought she had blocked me out but she didnt. I was surprised she even let me kiss her again

I looked at my phone. 7:47. I smelled something good coming from the kitchen. I walked in the kitchen and found Alexis, half dressed at the stove. She had on some dress pants and a bra.

"Morning." I said walking up behind her. I knew that I made her nervous and it was so cute to me.

"Hey." She said turning around to look at me but unable  to meet my eyes. She kept her eyes fixed on my bear chest. I smirked and tilted her head up by her chin.

"My eyes are up here." I said towering over her small figure. She was only 5'2.

"Sorry." She said. I smiled and lightly pecked her lips, teasing her to see if she would do more. She looked away from me.

"I made grits, bacon and eggs, if you want." She said. I smirked. I was a little disappointed that she shut me down but I understood.

"Yh. I'm hungry as hell right now." I said as she got two plates and took up some food.

"Ain't you always." She said laughing.

"I could eat anything." I said.

"I would love to test that." She said not looking at me. Was she making an inappropriate joke? I chuckled to myself. She sat my plate in front of me on the bar stool and sat next to me with her plate.

"Oh my god..." She whispered.

"What?" Putting food in my mouth. She looked at me sheepishly.

"I'm not wearing a shirt." She nearly whispered. I chuckled at her.

"Neither am I." I said. She gave that 'really' look.

"I'm serious Michael." She said.

"It's ok lex. It's not like I ain't enjoying the view." I said winking at her. She looked away and blushed.

"I am going to get a shirt." She said going upstairs. I laughed to myself and shook my head.

She came back downstairs in a camisole, so I guess that was suppose to be better. She came back and finished her breakfast as we talked.

Some one knocked at her door and she got up to go get the door.

"Morning." I heard Mr. J voice.

"Shit." I mumbled. Hopefully he stayed at the front door.

"Daddy, what are you doing here?" Alexis said.

"I came to tell you about the meeting with the investor on Thursday." He said.

"Ok I'll be there. I have to get ready for work so-" She said trying to get him to leave.

"Something smells good. Did you c-" He stopped in his tracks seeing me.

"What are you doing here?" He said.

"Daddy...." Alexis said walking in behind him.

"What is he doing here Alexis?" He asked her.

"He's my friend. All my friends are welcome in my home." She said folding her arms.

"Even the male ones Alexis." He said disapproval dripping from his voice.
