The Thunder Rolls

Chapter 9

I woke up entangled in Dean. Our legs and arms entwined, down to our fingers. I was so comfortable I didn't want to move. I looked at over at my clock and it was already 1100. Roman looked up at me and laid his head back down. Dean rubbed his finger over my thigh and heat blazed under his touch. I rubbed my leg against his and he lifted his head a little.

" good morning, girlfriend "

" good morning, boyfriend "

He rolled over putting some of his weight on my hip and kissed me, Running his fingers down my side.

"Ya know, Stella will be awake soon"

"Then I'll be real quick"

He whispered into my hair as he settled on top of me and I wasn't going to object.

A few minutes later Roman got up and jumped off the bed and sniffed at the door and I knew I should let him out. I kissed Dean and pulled my shirt down, I put some shorts on and and walked out to let Roman outside. Dean joined me in his khakis with two cups of coffee a few minutes later.

" I need to shower and get some clothes at my house but I was thinking we could get you a couch today?"

" yeah that sounds good. Just in leesville?"

" yea we gotta go back to work tomorrow so I wanna spend as much time with you today as I can."

" oh so do you want me to go to your house with you?"

" well I was going to ask you to take a shower with me to, we can just stop at my house on the way outta town. Are you getting tired of me already?"

" not even close Dean. I think you are going to have to get tired of me first. There's no possible way for me to get tired of you and the way that you look at me. They way you make me feel."

He smiled and looked out into the bayou

" and how do I make you feel?"

I looked down at Roman who was now between my feet and rubbed his ears.

" you make me feel wanted. Like i have something that you need and when you kiss me, you kiss me like I'm air and you'd suffocate without my lips. It's so intense. You don't make me feel like I'm something you'd like to have, I feel like something you have to have. Anyone can be a girlfriend, but not everyone can complete someone and that's how you make me feel."

His smile was the glorious full smile I loved. He finally looked me in the eyes.

" you get all of that from when I kiss you and what we did last night and this morning?"

" yea "

" good. Cus that's exactly what I was hoping you'd feel.

He put his arm around me and kissed me on the forehead we both sipped our coffee and enjoyed the breeze. Stella came walking out a few minutes later full of energy asking for food. We walked inside and I fixed her some cereal and juice. We both showered while she played and I got her dressed in a cute summer dress afterwards.

We climbed into the truck and this time took Roman with us. He sat in the car seat with Stella as he wind blew in through her hair. We drove to his house. He shared it with his brother Logan and it set back off the road in the woods, like mine.

" I'm just gonna go change and then we'll head out, I'll be a second." He gave me a quick kiss then jumped out and ran in the house.

The wind was blowing smoothly through the trees. I had so many thoughts racing through my head but this was different than it had been before with my racing thoughts. These were all good, these were thoughts of a future. That was actually something I could possibly have with Dean. Something he wanted with me, something I was thinking about having with him. It would be good for Stella. Dean was a wonderful man and would be a wonderful father figure to her, he would set such a admirable example of love for her and Show her how a man is supposed to treat a woman. Then there was me. Dean would no doubt change how I felt about men, He already had.
