It's Me And Not You

34

Rachel's POV

When we get to Dan's living room. The door bell rings.

"Just in time." Dan says.

"Thats my cue." I kiss Dan on his cheek and I go for my overdue shower. 

Dan pouts again.Dan pouting is cute and he looks like a kid being denied his favorite toy.

When I get into the bedroom. I get my overnight bag from Dan's closet. It is a good thing, I made the bed when I woke up this morning. I just don't have the energy now.

Looking at the bed. My body now realises that I am still sore.

Dan knows his thing and he left no stone unturned last night. 

He can can make gentle sweet love that leaves you breathless. 

Or he can be rough and leave you craving for more.

I don't know as to which I prefer. But I can conclude that my sex life is on a peak.

After today. It is going to be harder for me to keep my hands off Dan.Once you have tasted the forbidden fruit, you are doomed.

"I know you are a workaholic Daniel Carter but you should have waited for me." I scold him as I found him in the kitchen making sandwiches.

"Doctor's orders Miss Smith.He said I must eat something and take the medication."

"What did the doctor say?" 

"Nothing is broken. I wont be suing anyone."

"Go ahead and sue my dad. This time he will break your legs and I wont be there to save you."

Dan raises his hands in surrender.

"A man makes one joke here and he is in hot waters." Dan laughs.

We eat lunch and Dan takes his medication. I can see that he looks sleepy but he wants to continue chatting.

"You can go and take a nap. I will just watch t.v." I say.

"No, I want to be where you are. Closer to you."

"But Dan, I am not sleepy. You should get some rest."

He makes puppy eyes. And that gets me.  I open the t.v and turn to the crime investigating channel.

We are sitting on the couch and Dan is holding me. He got his wish.

"Planning my murder are we?" He asks.

"If you don't keep quiet and let me watch this in peace , I might just do that."

He gestures zipping his month.Typical Dan.

I concentrate on the show again. But after a few minutes, Dan tickles me.

"Dan." I warn.

"Move in with me." 

I freeze.

"Rachel, I told you how I felt about you last night. I meant every word I said and it was not just a heat of the moment." 

He looks directly at me. I see the same emotion I saw last night in his eyes.

"Dan , I...I don't ...."

"Shhhh.I know you are not ready to say those words back to me. I will wait for you."

I know I also feel the same way about him but whenever I try to say those words to him. I always hesitate. Maybe Daniel is right. I am not yet ready.

"I love you Rachel. I will put my heart on the line for you.  I will not play games with you.My heart beats for you and you have keys to this lock"

He touches his chest to indicate that he meant his heart. 

He wipes tears running down my cheeks. I didn't even realised that I was crying.

"I don't want to pressure you but my consolation prize is for you to move in with me." 

He kisses me lightly on my lips and returns to his nap.

He is holding me and I am lying on his chest. I can't believe how quickly Dan has fallen in love with me.

"Easy come, easy go." That annoying voice in my mind nags.

I think I might be holding back my feelings because I am scared of getting hurt again.

But what scares me the most is loosing Dan if there is nothing else that he will look forward to.

Am I enough to hold down the world renowned bachelor?
