Strawberry

Chapter Nine

Xavier's POV

The feel of the warm sun kissing my face wakes me from my sleep I open my eyes to see that I am in my apartment I turn looking at the time when I feel someone move. I look down at Abbigail as she sleeps her head on my chest and she look so peaceful.

I place a light kiss on her head getting out of bed a lot has changed in my life over the past few weeks. Things between Abbigail and I are perfect she is just so amazing I never thought I would see the day where I would find someone that I could not only work with but play at the same time.

Going into work everyday and knowing that she is there seeing her smile or secretly kissing her lips before and after every meeting is amazing. We try to keep things as professional as possible but there are times when things get hectic and we just lose control.

Like last night we were both working late on this project and she was so stressed out about I convinced her to take a break and go for a walk on the roof. We were on the top of our building looking out and she started getting some ideas.

We were brain storming and her ideas were so good and exactly what we needed seeing her in action just got me so turned on that I couldn't resist taking her on the roof. We have been sneaking around for a while now and I know that she is worried about her reputation and what people will say.

But I don't think this is just a fling it feel real serious we have shared personal details about each other I took her to my beach house I don't normally do that, and she has kissed my tattoo this is serious. I want to tell the other important people in my life about her I just hope she is okay with that.

"Xavier" a soft voice comes from behind me I turn around to look at Abbigail.

She walks up to me rubbing her eyes like a little kid who is just waking up she looks up at me green eyes tired and it's my fault. I had her up late these past few nights between work and having my way with her she must be spent.

"Did I wake you baby" I wrap my arms around her kissing her head and she nods holding me.

"Your bed is too big for me one, I need you" she says, and I smile.

That's the other thing I love about her she doesn't hold back what she feels ever, and she isn't afraid to admit that she wants me whether it's in bed or just to hold her tells me how she feels, and I love that.

"Okay, let's get back to bed" I pick her up walking back to my room.

I lay her down putting the covers over her getting in bed with her wrapping my arms around her and this calm comes over me and I feel at ease.

When I wake again it's still light out I look over at the time and it's after one in the afternoon I look over at the empty space in my bed I wonder where Abbigail went. I pull back the sheets getting out of bed I walk into the living room I hear talking as I near the living room.

I look up to find her sitting on the coach talking on her phone she is laughing about something and that makes me smile. I walk over to her taking a seat next to her watching as she talks.

"I know dad I will be there...ok love you...bye" she hangs up looking at me green eyes happy and that makes me happy. "Hi"

"Hi" I smile.

We sit in this comfortable silence before I decide to break it I want her to meet my family I haven't brought anyone home in years but with her I feel like I need her to meet my family.

"I have something to ask you and I want to know if you'd be okay with it" I say, and she frowns.

"Is it something bad?" she asks I shake my head telling her no.
