"Are you trying to get me drunk?" I ask as Nayel hands me another glass of wine.
Nayel chuckles softly, his hand squeezing my thigh gently.
We just got done with dinner and were sitting on his couch in the living room, talking while I was admiring the beautiful view.
"This is literally the best view," I say dreamily looking at the skyscrapers and blinding lights, taking another sip of wine.
"Mine is better," Nayel says, I look over at him to see him staring at me making my cheeks heat up.
I roll my eyes, "You're so cheesy sometimes" Nayel takes the glass from my hand and sets it on the coffee table. Nayel sets his hands on my hips and before I know what's happening he's picking me up and setting me into his lap making me straddle it.
"I was just being honest," Nayel says his hand caressing my cheek, "you are my favorite view," Nayel says looking into my eyes lovingly.
I can't help but blush and lower my gaze, why do I get so shy sometimes around him.
Nayel chuckles softly, "You're so adorable" Nayel cups my face in his hands and presses his lips onto mine. I move further into his lap wrapping my arms around his neck deepening the kiss.
Nayel's hands fall from my face to my thighs, pushing his warm palms against my bare skin and rubbing my thighs.
Nayel's tongue grazes against my bottom lip trying to slide inside my mouth but I pull away from the kiss and Nayel just smiles at me bringing his hand back to my face and cupping my cheek.
I gulp, "So what is happening here?" My tone was a little breathy.
Nayel smirks, "Well Ria, right now you're sitting on my lap"
I roll my eyes, "What do you want to happen here with us?" Nayel asks, his tone serious but his features still soft as he caresses my cheek.
I sigh, "I don't know" I drop my hands from his neck, "Our personalities and attitudes clash like right into each other," I say earning a low chuckle from Nayel, "We are oil and water we clearly don't mix so what is this?" I ask pointing between us, "just sexual attraction?" I ask raising my eyebrows, "because I am not going to be one of your conquests, one of the girls you get to tick off from your list" I say narrowing my eyes at him in confusion.
Nayel smiles, his fingers soothingly grazing my cheeks making me feel warm and fuzzy inside, "Do you really think I only want you for your body?" Nayel's eyes soften, a little sad even as he looks into my eyes.
I bite my lower lip and shrug, "Wow I must be really hard to read huh?" Nayel chuckles sadly.
"Kinda," I say.
Nayel sighs, "Ria, you're a people's pleaser, you're an optimist who sees the best in everyone and every situation. You're always putting everyone else's needs over your own and I don't understand how you live like that, it's absurd." Nayel rolls his eyes, "It's like you're sabotaging your life and making it difficult for yourself for what reason?" Nayel furrows his eyebrows.
I open my mouth but Nayel smiles, "That wasn't a question baby" he says, "I'm just explaining my thoughts" I felt my heart explode when he called me baby, he's never called me that before. I don't think any guy has ever called me that before. Nayel has only called me that once when I jerked him off, suddenly my cheeks heat up and I remember I did that, Nayel was staring at me with a smirk as if he could read my mind making me lower my gaze. He chuckles to himself squeezing my waist with his free hand and resting it there.
"Anyways" Nayel smiles, "I've never been attracted to women who weren't like me before, never a girl like you"
"So you've only dated cold-hearted girls like you?" I blurt out.
Nayel laughs, "Yes actually" His thumb circularly rolls around my cheek, "I actually haven't been attracted to someone the way I am to you in years as I said I don't really date and I don't know how but you have this effect on me, I've been hooked on you for the past 2 years to the point where all I want is you, you are the one thing that roams in my mind rent-free and I don't understand how you just walked into my office that one day and turned my life upside down" Nayel bites his lower lip staring into my eyes, "This is definitely going to come out wrong but I don't understand why I like you so much don't get me wrong you're amazing and beautiful every guy you meet probably falls for you but as someone who has been completely desensitized to romance and relationships and hasn't felt anything for anyone in years."
Nayel shakes his head, "But yet your smile lights up my day, you're so funny and hard-working, I enjoy arguing with you, I love seeing you be mean to me, you have a heart of gold, you care so much about everyone and everything all the things I find annoying and hate about people opposite of me I find them endearing when it comes to you while anyone else just makes me want to punch them in the face" Nayel smiles, "and you're hands down one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, inside and out" Nayel licks his lips.
I shake my head, blushing profusely, "Stop" I say.
Nayel's eyes grow darker as his thumb pushes against my lower lip, "Pardon my french but you have the sexiest lips I've ever seen, I had to fight the urge to not kiss them the first time I saw you and to stop myself from not kissing them every day after that" Nayel bites his lower lip.
I was probably red as a tomato, is this actually happening?
"Don't even get me started on your body otherwise I will get a hard-on which will be hard to get rid of" Nayel pauses smirking, "No pun intended" He jokes causing me to giggle.
Nayel pulls my face closer to his and presses our lips together, I smile into the kiss as I wrap my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. His fingers gently stroked my cheeks driving me insane. However, Nayel pulls away from the kiss less than 10 seconds later, "Sorry can't help myself" He shrugs making me smile.
Nayel stares into my eyes, his fingers still stroking my cheek, "I don't want to sleep with you and get it over with. I have this craving and desire for you, to be around you all the damn that can't just be resolved with sex. I don't know how to put this into words accurately" Nayel laughs, his head falling back as he thinks, "I want to get inside your head and spend all of my time with you?" He questions, "What does that mean because that is what I want," Nayel says, his eyebrows lowered as he doesn't know what I will say, "Does that make sense? Is that okay?" He frowns in confusion.
I smile, I cup his face in my hands, "Yes, that's fine" I push my lips against him, Nayel grabs my hips pulling me towards his body as I slide my tongue into his mouth catching him off guard temporarily. Nayel squeezes my hips making me gasp as I slowly grind myself against him earning a groan out of his lips. Nayel and I tongues roll around together in each other's mouths savoring each other as I tug at his hair while his hands rub up and down my thighs.
We pull away from the kiss, catching our breath, a look of hunger appearing on both of our faces. Nayel leans forward and places a few gentle kisses on my neck making me close my eyes and bite my lip.
I open my eyes and they fall to the New York City view. "What time is it?" I ask Nayel.
Nayel lifts his wrist, his eyebrows raised as he nervously laughed, "Wow it's 12:15"
My eyes widen, "What?" We really lost track of time huh?
"I should get going," I say to Nayel who nods.
"I would drop you home but I've had a few glasses of wine," Nayel says apologetically.
I smile, "It's okay, don't worry about it."
"I don't feel the best sending you home alone in a cab this late in the night" Nayel's face laced with seriousness, "Your house is on the other side of town, it's almost 35 minutes away plus with traffic"
I actually hate traveling alone at night but we don't have another option so I simply shrug.
"You could just spend the night?" Nayel suggests.
I chuckle, "I do not know what impression you have of me but I do not put on the first date sir," I say getting off his lap.
"Just stay the night, I'll sleep in the spare bedroom if you don't feel comfortable," Nayel says sliding his hands in his pocket, "I just don't want to risk something happening to you"
I smile shaking my head, "I can't believe you think you're not a good guy" Nayel rolls his eyes, "But yeah I could stay I guess"
Nayel smiles, making my heart flutter, "Great" He says excitedly.
We walk upstairs and I'm still in awe of how beautiful his house is, "I feel like I'm in a movie right now"
Nayel turns around chuckling at me.
"Is this your room?" I ask as he opens the double doors.
Nayel nods, "Oh wow, I have thought about what your room looks like for ages"
Nayel smirks, "Oh you've thought about what my bedroom looks like, why?"
I roll my eyes, "Shut up, not cause of that"
Nayel chuckles as we step inside the huge room. It was painted in a caramel brown, with the furniture consisting of other shades of brown, there was a chandelier hanging in the middle of the room. The room was decorated very nicely and just like the rest of his house, the room was spotless.
"So? Live up to the expectation?" Nayel asks leaning against the wall.
"Yes, and No" I tilt my head, "On one hand I expected it to be like black or red or a really dark color which it is but at the same time not brown but it's also not a bright color I never expected." I look back at Nayel, "I like it though".
Nayel smiles, "Brown is actually my favorite color"
"Yeah?" I ask walking toward him.
"Yeah, I think caramel brown, the colors of the wall is my favorite shade," Nayel says, "It's also the color of your hair," Nayel says running his fingers through my hair making me smile.
"How convenient for you" I joke causing Nayel to chuckle slightly.
"You can stay here, I'll sleep in the guest bedroom" Nayel smiles.
"Why?" I furrow my eyebrows, "The bed seems big enough for the both of us, or will you just not be able to keep your hands to yourself?" I tease him.
Nayel smirks, "I make no promises"
"The bathroom is right outside" Nayel grabs my wrist leading me out the room. Suddenly I glance down at my attire, I was still wearing the maroon bodycon dress I was wearing all day, how will I sleep in this?
Nayel noticed me distracted or seemed as though he read my thoughts, "Do you want me to give you one of my shirts you can sleep in?"
I smile, "I mean if you're offering" causing Nayel to playfully rolls his eyes. We move to his closet and Nayel finds a button-down navy blue shirt.
"Thanks," I say grabbing the shirt and walking towards the bathroom.
The shirt fell a few inches below my knees which was fine enough for me, I decided to keep my bra and panties on as I brush my teeth with the spare toothbrush and wash my face.
Am I really wearing Nayel Jefferson's shirt and planning on sleeping in his bed? What the fuck has this night been and why can't I stop smiling?
I walk back into the room to see Nayel had changed into loose grey shorts and a short-sleeved grey t-shirt. I can't help but wonder if he's wearing boxers underneath those shorts as they are very loose making me blush at the thought but luckily he didn't notice.
Nayel sets his phone on the bedside table, his eyes looking me up and down, "Seriously is there anything you don't look hot in?" Nayel grunts moving to grab my hips but I push him away slightly.
"Hands to yourself remember?" I joke causing him to groan.
I climb into the bed as Nayel goes to the bathroom, I run my fingers on the silk sheets. I'm in Nayel Jefferson's bed, in his shirt. What is going on? I can't believe I'm actually here.
Nayel walks back in a few seconds, turning off the lights, and sliding under the sheets next to me. I turn to my side, facing away from him instantly, he moves behind me, wrapping an arm around my waist making me smile.
"I can't believe you're in my bed" Nayel whispers in my ear.
"Your dreams are coming true Mr. Nayel" I joke causing him to chuckle.
"Good night Ria" Nayel whispers in my ear as he places a soft kiss on my neck making me feel giddy as we fall asleep in each other's arms as if we were lovers for years, so familiar with each other's touch.
