Loving A Misfit

Chapter 11

"Okay just this once and you sleep elsewhere after the movie," I say with a smile

His eyes light up, but I can tell he's trying not to show too much enthusiasm on his face, but he grabs my hand and pulls me into him.

"Thank you Nala," he says gently kissing my forehead then grabs my hand as we start walking down the corridor I stumble, and he shakes his head with a huge smile on his face and sweeps me into his arms, I laugh. As we reach his room it's just like I imagined he has a king size bed with a dark grey bed set of course, I'm starting to notice a pattern with the grey, he has his own bathroom and a walk-in closet his room doesn't have too much in it or hanging on the walls, but its cozy and he has a huge flat screen hanging on his wall.

"do you mind if I take a shower?" I say with a devious smile, he looks up and nods his head but you can tell he wants to say something but he's keeping it to himself.so I walk into the bathroom and start the shower, I quickly rinse off and wash my hair when I exit the shower I realize I have no clothes and there's only one robe in here so I grab towel and wrap it around me, it barely covers my body so I look around for something else and I see one of his button-up shirts hanging so I dry off and throw it on its just big enough to cover my butt and I walk into the room and Anthony is turned with his back towards me and I notice he has changed into a t-shirt and pair of sweats when he turns and notices me he smiles widely just staring at me

"What?" I say very shyly

"I was wondering what you were going to put on and I'm glad it was my shirt," he says smiling plopping down onto the bed and grabbing the remote.

"Come join me," he says before looking at the t.v

I start to walk over to the bed and I sit down next to him sitting up crossing my legs and pulling the covers over my legs. He puts on a random movie and then looks up at me.

"so, we're supposed to talk you said?" I say looking away on the TV. he sighs

"Yes, Nala I'm sorry I acted that way tonight, and I know what I said about how I am but there's something about you, I-I just can't stay away from you and I'm willing to compromise" he says, I look down at him and once we make eye contact I quickly look back up at the TV

"I'm sorry Anthony but I like slim... I mean Diana and I like you too, but I don't think you're ready to change your lifestyle and especially not for me" He looks at me confused and I try not to notice then he grabs my chin and pulls my face towards his so that I'm looking directly in his eyes.

"Nala your beautiful, and I know I just met you but you're not like anybody I ever met, please stop doubting yourself," he says with a sincere face

"I'm not doubting myself at all, but I just think I'm not what you are looking for," I say as I look away back towards the TV for a minute then I lay down with my back towards him. I hear Anthony blow air out his mouth then he leans over and kisses me on the back of my head.

"Goodnight Nala," he says when he gets up out the bed and before he reaches the door, I turn to him

"I'm not going to be able to sleep unless you lay with me," I say, and he turns back to face me and grins widely

"the pleasures mine" he says still smiling while climbing back into the bed but on top of the covers as he lays next to me on his back not touching me and I can tell he doesn't want to make me feel uncomfortable so and giggle and he looks over at me and smiles "What?" he says with a smirk

"Get under the covers," I say smiling and he does then I roll over and lay my head on his chest and wrap my arm around him, he wraps his arms around me and squeezes tightly.
