Sweet Hearts

Kisses

     She woke up with a start as memories of last night came flooding back to her. He had kissed her and his lips were what she had imagined; soft and warm.

After the kiss, they had cuddled up and stared at the stars before they came home. But she feared an awkward meeting with him this morning after the kiss last night. She turned to his side of the bed; it was empty.

She heaved a sigh of relief and climbed out of the bed wrapping her night coat around her body. She walked out of the room, going down the stairs she met Chris climbing up with a tray. Her heart missed a beat as he stood in front of her giving her a peek of what was in the tray. On the tray was a steaming cup of coffee and a plate containing toasts that made her mouth water.

"Oh! you're up". He said.

She nodded and wrapped herself with her arms "What are you doing?".

"I'm trying to be sweet". He replied and moved past her to continue his ascent up the stairs, then looking over his shoulder he said "I wanted to serve you breakfast in bed".

"Break...fast in.. bed?". She stuttered.

"Yeah, and you ruined it by waking up before I served you".

Lara chuckled "We can still do that".

He gave her a genuine smile and walked up making her giggle.

This wasn't awkward at all, she thought to herself.

Within her, she was excited. Excited that their kiss meant something to him. She smiled and followed him into the bedroom, after she had closed the door behind her, she turned to him with a smile.

"Am I supposed to lie back on the bed or what?".

He gave her a playful glare and placed the tray on the reading table.

"You can lie on the table if you want but you're eating this in this room".

Lara rolled her eyes and walked to the table, he pulled out the chair for her and stirred her coffee.

"This is really nice". She giggled and took the mug from him "I didn't know the almighty Chris Donald had this side of him".

Chris folded his arms making his muscles bulge "And who knew the almighty Omolara Donald loved to be pampered".

Lara chewed on her toast and swallowed with a sip from her coffee, then she looked up to him "Every woman loves to be pampered".

"I hear". He replied and looked up to the antique clock hanging on the wall "I need to get to the studio, Paul and Kcee are waiting already".

"Paul?, I thought you hated him".

He shrugged "I still do but I have to do this because he's featuring my next song".

"Can you sing a song about me, please?". Lara asked with a pout.

He leaned towards her, making her heart beat erratically against her chest and he captured her lips in a slow kiss. He broke the kiss to breathe, his breathe still fanning against her face.
"I will".

She blushed furiously and looked down to her plate.

How was he able to make her feel giddy?.

Chris chuckled as though he heard her thoughts and walked into the bathroom.

                      °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
    He pressed his forehead with his thumb and index finger. He let out a sigh while tapping the tip of his fountain pen impatiently, he looked around him;Paul sat across from him and was blabbering something to Kcee who looked like he wanted to be somewhere else.

Mr. Ore walked out from the isolation booth wiping a fluffy towel on his face. "Ready guys?".

"Yo!". Paul yelled and stood from his seat.

Chris didn't miss the relief that went through Kcee's face, he shook his head to suppress a chuckle and walked into the isolation booth with Paul.

They wore headphones and from the headset he could hear the thumping sounds of the beats,  Chris removed an ear and yelled to the record producer.

"We're free styling, abi?"

The record producer; Mark nodded and motioned them to continue. Paul began and weirdly his voice sounded nice over the beats.

"🎶Tell me how you feel....
I'd tell you mine.
Walking with you in my mind
I think I'm going crazy🎶".

He gave Chris a thumbs up; a signal  for him to take over, Chris gave him a small smile and continued.

"🎶I love your small laughs,
Your giggles
And the way you make me feel....
I wonder when you're going to see...
How crazy you make me feel ....🎶"

Paul took over on a high pitch
"🎶I think you're perfect and simple
I love the little things you do
Tell me...
Cause I think I'm crazy
Crazy about you...🎶".

Paul finished as the beats stopped, Chris turned to him in a smile and shook his hand.

Paul might be a weirdo but he sure was a good singer, Chris thought.

Mr. Ore and Kcee applauded them with loud hoots and cheers as they both walked out of the booth.

"That was splendid". Kcee said walking to him.

"Who knew a collabo with Paul would be this nice?".

"I didn't know he could sing". Chris replied wiping his sweaty palms on his trousers.

Kcee chuckled "That's because you've never listen to his songs".

Chris rolled his eyes "It's not my fault".

Mr. Ore walked to Chris and patted his back "I told you that you two would make a great team". He paused "That freestyle you guys did was awesome, we're going to work on it".

Chris nodded and gave him a small smile. "It's not a problem".

Mr. Ore nodded and walked towards Paul leaving Chris and Kcee behind.

"So, you and Paul huh?". Kcee asked.

"Dude! seriously you sound sick". Chris replied with an eye roll.

"How's Lara by the way?"

A smile stretched out on his face as what had happened in the morning played in his head.

He kissed Lara!.

"Lara's fine".

"Did something happen?". Kcee asked wriggling his eyebrows.

"I kissed her twice". Chris blurted out.

Kcee's eyes widened "Wow!, Cecilia?"

"I don't know man, I don't".

"Lara's good for you, but you have to make your decisions yourself".

Soo, what do you think??.
