My eyes adjusted to the light through the room. Then I focused my eyes and a whole man was in front of me. Lorenzo's curls were dusted over his forehead. Cute. His face was completely relaxed. His hand was rested on my thigh.

I slowly raised his hand from my leg and rested it on the bed next to me. Slipping out of the bed, I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and l slowly crept out of the room.

I went downstairs and got to working.

I swayed my hips to the music as I sang along. It's kind of old, but it's a classic, you can't be mad at that.

"Do I love you, my oh my. River deep, mountain high, yeah yeah yeah. If I lost you, would I cry." I sang along with Tina Turner. Spotify has really opened my eyes. I flipped a pancake before laying it on a plate. I danced around, my curls covering my eyes. I turned to put the plate on the counter when I jumped nearly out of my skin. Lorenzo was leaning against the wall near the stairs. He was shirtless with black sweatpants hanging off his hips.

"You are thick! You just refuse to admit it and I just can't understand." I opened my mouth, but bit my lip and pulled his shirt farther down. "Stop looking at my butt, creep."

My cheeks burned and I turned back around. I poured some more pancake mix in the pan. 'Rain On Me' by SWV blasted through my phone speaker. Lorenzo's hand gripped my waist. His chin rested on my shoulder. I sang along softly.

I reached over to grab the butter and my butt rubbed on his crotch. My eyes widened when I felt it, but I played it off. I heard him groan. His lips attached to my neck and I groaned. He bit on some skin and I clenched my jaw.

I bumped him with my butt go move him and he did. "Hey."

"Breakfast is almost ready. Go sit down somewhere." He huffed and sat on the couch. My phone skipped to the next song.

'Touch Me Tease Me' played. I shook my head and skipped to the next one.

'Bump n' Grind'

'In My Bed'

'Freakin' You'

'Age Ain't Nothing But A Number'

I yelled out in frustration while Lorenzo cackled behind me. "Babygirl, I think that's a sign." I turned around a scowled. "You! Shut up!" He got up and walked toward me. My chest tightened with every step.

His hand gripped my chin, looking down at me with a smirk on his face. "You think you're so tough, don't you?" I pursed my lips.

"I- I am." My voice cracked. "Oh yeah. So tough." He smiled, then kissed my lips. I smiled into his mouth before I stopped. "You should really stop doing that." I squinted my eyes. "Stop what?"

"Pulling away." Lorenzo whined, putting his head on my shoulder. I messed with the hair. He wrapped his arms around my torso and pulled me into his body. His thumb ran circles on my back. My breathing relaxed. While I ran my fingers through his curls, he softly pressed his lips against my neck.

"Princess?"

"Hmm?"

"That pancake is burning." I gasped and turned around. Smoke was wafting from the pan and I yelped. I quickly dumped the pancake in the garbage and put the pan in the sink, running cold water over it. I glared at him.

"You suck. You know that don't you?" He nodded.

"Yeah yeah. I know."

After we finished eating, Lorenzo and I found a movie on the couch. I was laying down, and he was cuddled close to me with his head on my stomach and his legs tangled in mine. Once again, INSECURE, but I can't just tell him that. I ran my fingers through his curls some more. God his hair is so soft.
