I close my eyes and enjoy the ride. Mekhi holds my hand as he drives. Unknowingly I doze off and when he I wake up we're in the underground garage of his gated community. Stretching I take off my seatbelt and get ready to get out the car. When he's done parking he stops at the trunk to get our food then, opens my door. We walk to the elevator holding hands even though he's carrying everything. The elevator ride is the same as before except it smells like pizza and Mekhi's eyes are roaming all over my body making me blush. When the elevator stops at his place Mekhi open's and holds the door open for me. Stepping inside I wait for him to lock up and lead the way to the kitchen.
He turns on light switches as we walk through his home to the kitchen. I look around at his clean and modern bachelor pad trying to decide if I made the right decision coming here. Once we reach the kitchen, he turns on a light that isn't too bright. He places the food and drinks on his massive island and turns to me to take my jacket.
"Let me help you take your jacket off," he says with his hands on my shoulders.
"Okay," I reply and place my bag on one of the chairs at the island.
He slowly removes my jacket and kisses the nape of my neck when he's done sending shivers down my spine and my hairs standing on end.
"You smell lovely," he says in my ear and my heart pounds away in my chest.
"Thank you," I say to him as I shiver from his kiss and his closeness.
"Come, let's eat," he says holding out his hand and leading me out of the kitchen to his powder room to wash our hands.
He hangs my jacket up in the coat closet I didn't notice before. When we're finished we walk back to the kitchen and he opens the pizza box to which smells divine. After getting two plates from his cabinet, he places a slice of supreme pizza on my plate and pushes it towards me then places a slice on his own plate. I sit in the chair next to my bag and he stands across from me.
"Why aren't you sitting," I ask him as I pick up my slice.
"If I sit next to you I won't be able to eat," he says taking a bite of his pizza.
"Hmmm," I say as I bite my own pizza.
It tastes so good that I begin to devour it not realizing that I worked up an appetite somewhere between studying and partying.
"I'm glad you have a good appetite, I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to eat half of this pizza," he says encouragingly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was this hungry," I say to him smiling.
"It's alright, baby. Here, have another slice," he says placing another slice on both of our plates.
"Thank you," I say accepting the slice and he stands up to get our drinks.
"You're welcome," he says taking the lid off of my drink and sitting it next to my plate.
"You're so sweet, were you always like this," I ask him taking a sip of my drink.
"Truth be told, I learn something new with each relationship so you're getting an improved version of me," he says before taking a bite of his second slice.
"Oh, so you improve on what you lacked before, that's good...maybe I should try it out," I say thoughtfully.
"Maybe, I like you the way you are now though," he says.
"Even so, it's just the honeymoon phase. I'm sure something about me will bug you," I reply to him.
"So that means that you're agreeing to take the next step with me," he says with a smile wiping his hands on a napkin then walking around the island.
"Whattttt, I didn't say that," I say feigning innocence standing unsure of what he's going to do.
"You're not denying it either," he says finally reaching me and wrapping his hands around my waist.
"Huh," I manage to get out before he presses his lips to mine, then lifts me up and spins me around.
"You have no idea how happy you've just made me," he says placing me on the counter.
"How did you know that I already agreed to your proposal," I ask him giggling.
"I knew the moment you got out of my car the other day when I dropped you off at home. At first I wasn't sure when we were here and even when we got to the dorms, but something in my mind was just telling me that you'd agree," he says kissing me again.
"That's not fair, I wanted to make you sweat it out for a little bit longer," I say with a playful pout.
"I'm sorry baby, how about we wait until after break to say something to our parents," he says placating me.
"Okay, we can do that," I say to him wrapping my arms around his neck and kiss him once more.
"Do you want to eat anymore," he ask.
"Yes, I only ate one slice and I'm afraid all this excitement has made me hungry," I say to him.
"Here," he says picking up my slice and placing it to my mouth.
"Thank you," I say before taking a bite and chewing it slowly.
Surprising me he takes a bite from my slice as well and feeds me again when I'm done. Other than the occasional kiss or sips of juice we eat this way until the entire pizza is gone. When we're finished he decides to take me on a tour of his place. He helps me down from the counter and steady's me as my legs feel like jelly after dangling from the counter for so long. Regaining the feeling in my legs we start at the kitchen, since we're already there, then he shows me his dining room.
He takes me around to a few more rooms including two guest rooms, an entertainment room, a workout room, and an office. Saving his room for last we finally step into his master suite. He has a king sized bed, two night stands, and a massive TV mounted on his wall. His closet is the size of my bedroom filled with all types of clothes and shoes. Everything from business to athletic and everything in between. After being wowed by his closet he shows me his massive bathroom and I'm stunned. He has a huge soaking tub with jets and a walk in shower as well as heated floors and a double sink. Everything about his home is so sleek and modern yet this bathroom may be my favorite place in the house.
"Do you want to get in," he says to me pointing to the tub.
"I can't, I don't have any clothes here," I say wishing that I had brought extra clothes.
"You could wear some of mine if you don't mind and we can put yours in the washer," he offers tempting me.
"That sounds really good…" I say hesitating.
"You can, I won't join you or disturb you. You could light some candles and use some of the bath oils and just relax," he says and I'm sold.
"Okay, I guess I'll be troubling you and staying here tonight," I say to him with a shy smile.
"It's no trouble at all as long as you're happy," he says hugging me.
"I am," I say truthfully and realize that it's been quite a while since I've been this happy.
"Then let me start the bath for you, I have an extra robe in my closet," he says walking towards the tub and turning on the water.
I walk to his closet and get the robe that he spoke of before going back into the bathroom. I lean against the counter as I watch him place and light candles around the massive tub. As the steam from the water picks up the fragrance of the candles the bathroom is filled with that heavenly scent. Mekhi then pours a few different oils into the tub causing the water to foam and flips the light switch off. Watching him work is making me hot, he's already so handsome yet seeing him do something specifically for me and willingly makes him so much more attractive. I could really get used to this.
"The bathroom is all yours, enjoy yourself," he says leaving the bathroom and closing the door
After he closes the door, I hear some movement around outside the door and when he stops I place my phone on the counter and play some smooth Jazz. I begin undressing and folding my clothes neatly on the counter. After a few deep breaths I put my foot into the water and immediately let out a sigh of relief as I let the rest of my body sink into the water. Relaxing I grab a clean wash cloth, wet, ring out, and place over my face letting out a moan of satisfaction as he has turned on the jets and they massage my body. Feeling relaxed I dose off in the bath until I hear Mekhi knocking on the door.
"Baby, are you alright," I hear him ask sounding worried. I take the wash cloth off of my face and look around to see that I am still in the tub and the candles have burned considerably lower. Before I could answer Mekhi walks into the bathroom and I look down to see that there's still foam covering my body.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I was so relaxed that I fell asleep," I say with a weak smile.
"It's alright, I was just worried. It's been over an hour that you've been in here," he says leaning over to touch my head.
"Really," I say surprised.
"Yeah, I've had my shower already," he says and I see that he has on a pair of pajama pants and a t shirt.
"Oh wow, let me wash up and get out," I say to him.
"Okay, I'll be outside," he says standing to leave.
"Alright," I reply and watch him walk out of the door before I grab the body wash he left out for me and begin lathering and washing up.
After washing up, I turn off the jets, then let the water out of the tub. I grab a towel and dry my feet and legs before stepping onto the floor and drying the rest of my body. I use the toothbrush he took out for me and brush my teeth until they are clean and there is no trace of pizza left. All dried and clean I wrap the towel around my body then do the same with my robe before exiting the bathroom. When I step into his room he's laid back on the bed watching TV.
"I took some clothes out for you," he says pointing to the neat pile of folded clothes at the bottom corner of his bed.
"Thank you," I say picking up the clothes and taking them back into the bathroom.
As I'm getting dressed, I notice that he even gave me a pair of his underwear. Smiling to myself I don his boxer briefs before pulling his t shirt over my head and finally pulling on the pajama pants. When I'm finished I grab my clothes as well as the towel, washcloth, and robe then leave the bathroom.
"Umm, where's your washroom," I ask him.
"I'll show you," he says hopping off the bed and leading me to his wash room that's on the first level.
"Thank you," I say to him as he helps me load the wash machine.
"It's no problem baby. I guess you'd better get some rest seeing that you fell asleep in the bath," he says wrapping his arm around me as we walk back to his room.
"I was too relaxed in the bath, it was wonderful," I say to him with a small yawn.
"I'm glad that you're relaxed then," he says.
"Besides I have to stay up to make sure my clothes make it into the dryer," I say to him.
"I can help you with that," he says lifting me off my feet carrying me into his room and dropping me on the bed.
"Hey," I say giggling when my body hits the bed and h tickles me relentlessly before getting on the bed and lying next to me.
"See you aren't tired anymore," he says with a smile.
"That's true," I say to him.
"So what do you want to do," he asks.
"We can do whatever you were just doing if that's alright with you," I say to him.
"I was just watching TV, let's find something else to watch," he says and we settle on a cooking channel where this guy goes around trying different food.
We watch TV and talk while cuddled in his bed. When we think the wash machine has stopped we both go down to put the laundry in the dryer. We go back to his room and cuddle that soon turns into kissing and touching until we can't handle it any longer and decide to just talk. We talk until we fall asleep. When I awake my head is on his chest and his arms are wrapped around me. I move a little and he tightens his grip before opening his eyes and seeing that I'm still in his embrace. He smiles and kisses my forehead.
"Good morning," he says.
"Good morning, did I wake you," I ask him.
"No, you're fine. We have to get you home soon right," he says and only then do I remember that I have to go home.
"Yeah, my parents are coming back today and I have to pick up the twins," I say.
"Alright, let me hold you for a few more minutes then we'll get up," he says sleepily with a yawn.
"Okay," I say agreeing and a few more minutes turned into an hour.
When we finally get up and get dressed it's eight in the morning. Feeling refreshed and relaxed the ride home is peaceful and harmonious. I blush as I think about last night and smile to myself feeling happy beyond measure today. He calls and orders me breakfast at the diner which he picks up on the way to my house. Finally arriving home, he walks me to the door and makes sure I have everything before kissing me goodbye and leaving.
