Almost His

Chapter Ten

ASH
I slept in Chad's bed last night. I don't know why but I slept better when I was with him. I don't understand the feelings I have for him. He made me happy. I loved the way he spoke to me, how his eyes lit up whenever we talked about novels. I loved the fact that despite the fame he wasn't a proud guy. Most of all I loved him. Wait... what?
Oh shit! I was in love with him. This wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't even sure he loved me. I still didn't know a lot of things about him. This isn't happening.
I sat up and watched him sleep. I love him! I love Chad!
I quietly let myself out of his room and went to the bathroom in my room. I took off my clothes and turned on the shower. I sat on the floor like I did whenever I was confused.
I sat there for a while trying to wrap my head around everything that was happening when I noticed someone standing at the door. It was Chad. The man I was in love with. The reason I was here in the first place.
He stood there watching me. Then he smiled, "How are you?"
"I-I'm Okay" I stuttered.
"You don't look okay." He joined me in the shower.
I couldn't send him away. He was the reason I was confused yet I wanted to be close to him. I wanted to hold tight and not let go. So I acted on impulse and hugged him.
"What is it?" I heard him say.
If only he knew. He had to know. I had to tell him. Tears plopped out of my eyes.
"You know you can talk to me" he said holding me tight. I nodded.
"Did I do something wrong?" When I shook my head he continued, "Then what's the problem?"
I looked into his eyes, "I'm in love with you"
"Ash I need to tell you something_"
"You don't have to say anything. I know the feeling isn't reciprocated. I just needed to tell you and get it off my chest"
"Oh Ash. I don't know what to say. I like you a lot but I'm not sure if I love you" he said quietly, a confused look in his eyes.
"There's no problem" I said.
We stood there in silence for a while. I lifted my head from his chest and looked at him. He looked into my eyes and his mouth came crashing down on mine. The kiss was sweet and slow. My love for him overwhelming me. I whimpered as he slid his tongue into my mouth, tasting me thoroughly. Our tongue swirled in circular motion in my mouth. He nipped at my lower lip and sucked the pain away.
He trailed kisses down my neck. I shivered. Taking a nipple into his mouth, he sucked it hard. One hand on my ass, he placed his other hand on my other breast, caressing it. He pinched my nipple and I moaned.
He began to rub my clit in circular motions slowly. I could feel my orgasm coming, I let go. When I was done he knelt and began to trail kisses on my thighs, his eyes on locked on mine the entire time. He finally found my center and kissed it first. Then he used his mouth to work his magic. I placed my hand on his head and held on to the wall.
I quivered at the pleasure as I reached my peek and orgasmed hard.
He tried to touch me and I slapped his hand. I knelt before him and took him into my mouth slowly. I pulled him out and licked his tip, he groaned. I liked the sound. I began to suck him hard and fast.
His hand on my head he said through gritted teeth, "You're so good at this. If you keep this up I might cum in your mouth."
I quickened my pace, sucking faster and harder. I felt him harden, then he came.
"Wow!" he said breathlessly.
He carried me and wrapped my legs around his waist. He slid into me slowly. He pulled out and jammed into me. His thrusts were slow at first, then fast, then faster.
My back on the wall, I held on to him, matching his thrusts. It felt so good. God I loved him!
"I love you" I said reaching my peek. My orgasm hard and fast.
"Ash" he groaned joining me.
He dropped me and smiled, "That was amazing"
I nodded and smiled. He carried me to the bed and climbed in.
I placed my leg on his thigh and felt him hardened.
"Do you ever get tired?" I joked.
"I could never get tired of you" he kissed me.
Did he understand what he just said? Maybe there was hope for me. Maybe he wasn't going to discard me after all.
He was above me before I could talk, a mischievous grin. That grin meant he wanted to have his wicked way with me and I let him.

We showered again and went to the kitchen. Steph was alone with Ally.
"Where's everyone?" Chad took a banana from the counter.
"Dannie is in her room sleeping while Denver and Syd went to the studio to pick up something. They said to tell you that there's no need to worry."
"Morning" Ally said cheerfully. She served us eggs and bacon.
I groaned when I took the first bite, "Ally you are a kitchen goddess"
"I know right? You should have tasted the waffles she served us. They were better than yours" Steph chuckled.
"Hey! Don't lie to me, young lady. I know Ash's waffles are better" Ally rolled her eyes.
I chuckled, "She's right. I've never really gotten the hang of making waffles"
"She's just trying to be humble" Chad said with food in his mouth again.
"You talk with food in your mouth a lot" Steph said, "One day you'll choke" she glared at him.
"Well, now I know my enemies. BTW if I die, Syd would be too busy arranging my burial to pay attention to you." he shrugged.
Ally and I giggled.
"Can I take one of your cars out?" I said.
He swallowed, "Why?"
"I need to go shopping for dinner tomorrow night cause I didn't bring any gowns for dinner dates."
"I'm coming with you" he said.
"No way! I hate going shopping with guys. You're probably just going to grumble and complain throughout." I turned to Steph, she had a silly grin on her face "Please come with me"
"I think I'll pass" Well that was a first. Steph never rejected shopping. She loved shopping. It was her thing.
Chad whooped for joy, "It's settled I'm going with you" and left.
I turned to Steph, "What the hell?"
"You guys need to spend more time together"
I pretended to get angry, "I'll get you for this. God I hate you!"
"Stop lying to your self honey" she walked out, smiling from ear to ear.
Ally laughed. Exasperated I went upstairs to get ready to go shopping.
We went into town, walking from boutique to boutique searching for the perfect dress. Chad kept complaining but he enjoyed it whenever I tried on clothes for him.
After searching for a long time and Chad buying all the dresses I tried on. I finally found the perfect dress and a pair of shoes and clutch for it.
We loaded everything in the car and went to get some ice cream.
We were on our way to the car when I got a text from Shar.
"I'm about to board the plane. We'll land by tomorrow evening."
"Don't forget to call me when you get to his house, to tell me how it went. I bet he's going to be so excited."
"LOL. I will. Got to go. Talk to you tomorrow 😂"
"Have a safe trip❤️" I texted back.
I couldn't wait to see her when she got to Owerri. I hadn't seen her in years.
Chad's phone rang and he ignored it and smiled at me.
"Ready to go?"
"Ready. What if the call was important?" I asked.
"It wasn't." He said distractedly.
We got to the house just before lunch. Syd and Denver were back and Steph and Dannie were with them on the basketball court.
We played some basketball till 5pm then I went inside to help Ally with dinner. Dinner was ready shortly after, we sat in the living room to watch television later. We watched Night School starring Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish. Whenever I saw any of them in a movie I knew the movie was going to be awesome. They were really good.
The next day went peacefully with Chad and I in bed reading a novel together in the library. I actually read to him while he listened, his head on my lap.
We separated to go get ready for our date. The others were on their way to a concert.
I can't believe today was our last day here. I'd missed the environment and the relaxation. Taking a break from school and business to come on this trip was a great idea. I felt much more relaxed and at peace with myself now.
