(The beginning of something new)
Riya couldn't help but smile when Rick hugged her tightly, she had missed him a lot.
They went inside and he told her to sit so he could set the table. Riya was intrigued that he cooked alone this time, she couldn't wait to see what he made. she sat down and waited for him to come out of the kitchen.
Rick's house was bigger than her's, it had three rooms ensuite, a wide living room, kitchen, and spacious lawn with a garage. He grew up here, but after his parents died he had been living alone here. The sound of a door closing interrupted her thoughts.
" So I made Grilled chicken with a lot of gravy and Salad with some Pasta and deep fried shrimps" he said while placing everything on the table in the dining room.
Riya's mouth started to water at the sight of the food.
" Gosh this looks good Rick well done" she said smiling.
" All for mi Lady" he said bowing dramatically.
Riya rolled her eyes at his statement.
" c'mon sit and let's eat" she said
Rick sat down on the chair close to her and they started eating.
"Mmmm tastes good" she hummed
" Ohh I'm just learning to be a better husband in the future Hun" he said irking her
" Keep your mouth shut Rick, more stuffing less talking" she said glaring at him
" Don't bite me okay, I'm just saying" he laughed irking her the more.
" So sensitive" he laughed harder.
"Punk" she said rolling her eyes.
They finished eating and carried the plate to the sink. Riya went straight to the sink and started washing the dishes while Rick helped in cleaning.
" You know I could get used to watching you clean the dishes in my kitchen" he said smirking.
" You wait, I'll slap that smirk of your face" she said carrying a spatula chasing him with it from the kitchen. They ran around the house for a while till Rick fell on the couch tired and Riya went and took the opportunity to straddle him and gave him soft punches.
They struggled and struggled until Rick immediately switched their position with him laying in between her thighs and her knees around him. Riya was taken aback by the sudden posture then her cheeks burned red in embarrassment.
"Aren't you just full of surprises, one moment you're all strong and miss queen and mighty, the next you're whimpering" he said trying to irk her.
You!!!!!!!!. she screamed and thrashed beneath him.
" Admit it Riya I won" he said laughing and tickling her
"fine fine you won" she screamed and laughed.
He watched her laugh and it was beautiful. He had loved Riya from the very moment he saw her at the bar when her drunk cute self had drag him all the way to the dance floor and danced like crazy. A lot of people would have found it unnerving and off because she was a stranger but he found it quiet interesting, and the reason he kept his distance after that day was because he knew she must have felt embarrassed with what she did so he stayed away, but she had come to him and apologized and ever since then they'd been hanging out. Rick didn't want to tell her how he felt about her yet because he still wanted to take things slow so he doesn't lose her entirely. Discarding his thoughts and coming back to the present, he took the strand of hair in front of her eyes and tucked it behind her ear, this made her stop laughing and looked at him.
" You're beautiful Riya" he said caressing her face.
Riya didn't know how to deal with the situation right now, the way he was caressing her face and that look in those beautiful hazel eyes told her clearly that he had romantic feelings towards her. She wasn't a fool she knew he was in love with her. Rick was a cool guy, every girl's dream, had a lean muscular body that she often took a peek at when he wasn't looking and those perfect looking lips, with hair as dark as night, he was also caring and very considerate, just what a sane woman would want, but she just wasn't ready for such commitments right now. Riya looked at him and smiled.
" Huh..... thanks Rick" she said still smiling.
She noticed that they were still in the awkward position so she tried to get out of it but while she was trying to stand up, Rick leaned in and kissed her.
Riya was dumbstruck at first, she didn't expect a situation like this but she had to admit it felt good. His kisses was soft and coaxing, soon she relaxed into him and kissed him back, she parted her lips inviting him in, she felt his tongue hot in her mouth and just then the kiss became intense and demanding.
When their lips parted, Riya was breathless and lightheaded, it was like Rick tried to convey all his feelings through that kiss and it was intense.
When they both got down from their high, Rick kissed her again and rolled off her and sat upright so she could get up, he looked at her and smiled at her sudden meekness.
"That was amazing" he breathed with his eyes closed.
" It surely was" she whispered smiling.
Not very far from the house, Elijah watched without any interest and just looked away when it started to get intense.
" Humans" he scoffed
" How bothersome" he muttered snuffing out his cigarette when he caught sight of the sneaky demon hovering too, he sighed and walked closer to the house to be close enough to avoid a bloodbath. " definitely bothersome"..
