It was after a week that Christopher finally forgave Kate and they made up. Kate said she has accepted Christopher will never see her as more than just a friend and she was okay with it if it means they get to still be in each other's life. Amira was reluctant to overlook but Christopher persuaded her and she apologised for slapping her. After some time the tension was gone and we were all cool. We had orientation a few days after and soon newly admitted students will resume school.
Khalil and I made up and we agreed to talk when I come home.
Christopher and I have been seeing each other privately since the incident at the beach house and we were growing close very fast. I didn't even tell Amira, I wanted it to be official before letting her know anything and I don't even know if it's official because we haven't had that conversation.
The first week of summer came and we all went to England for a vacation as we all planned before lectures fully start. This time it was Anderson's beach house with five rooms. The house is a bit bigger compared to the Stone's beach house and the furnishing is more expensive. This is going to be fun.
"Guys, go pick your rooms but leave the master bedroom that's mine" Christopher said. The others hurried up the stairs to pick their rooms after Jabari chose the one downstairs close to the living room. Izzy and Kate chose to stay in a room together and Aya decided to be alone in hers. Amira chose for us and Christopher had the master bedroom.
"Your house is beautiful" I said as we all gathered to eat dinner in the dining hall. Christopher paid for a part-time cook to cater for our feeding and a part-time cleaner to clean during our stay.
"Thanks" He said as he put his hand gently on my lap and gave me a light rub.
"Amira you are staying alone in yours right?" Christopher asked.
"Of course not, Zee is staying together with me" Amira answered.
"Oh, sorry but my girlfriend is staying in my room" Christopher said abruptly.
"Oh my God, finally!" Amira said screaming.
"Christopher" I said blushing hard. He called me his girlfriend for the first time and it made me happy.
"I have a boyfriend now y'all" I said happily, imitating Aya's accent.
"She's your girlfriend now?" Kate asked without emotion.
"Yes, she is" Christopher answered and kissed me on my cheek. I could feel the butterflies in my stomach.
"Congrats guys" Jabari said with a smile on his face.
"Y'all are cute together" Aya said sweetly.
"Happy for you guys" Izzy said with her mouth full of food.
After dinner, we all retired to our various bedrooms. We were all exhausted from the journey. I spent time with Amira in her room before leaving when she wanted to facetime with Gregory. I entered the master bedroom and it was like a honeymooner's room. It was large and so beautiful and there were lit candles surrounding the bed area and rose petals laid out on the bed in a romantic setting.
"Christopher" I said as I blushed hard.
"Do you like it?" He asked.
"Yes, when did you have the time to do all this?" I asked with surprise.
"Why did you think Amira dragged you into her room?" Christopher said with a confident smile.
"Oh wow, sly boy" I said playfully.
"I've run a warm bath for you if you'd like to take a bath and relax" He said as he rubbed my shoulder softly.
"Aww thanks, babe" I said giving him a warm smile.
I made my way into the bathroom and it smelled fresh and nice. There were lit candles too and rose petals laid both on the floor and in the bathtub. I undressed and entered the bath gently and lay in it resting my head on the edge of the bathtub. I took a deep breath as I felt the warm water settle on my body. Just beside the faucet, I saw a small handwritten note in Christopher's handwriting.
You started in my dreams and now, lucky for me, you're here in my life!
Thank you for making my heart feel light and my life feel bright!
Love,
Christopher.
I was blushing so hard and held the card to my chest. He is so sweet and thoughtful. I don't mind being this way forever. After a few minutes, I stood up from the bath, cleaned my body and put on a bathrobe. I feel fresh. I made my way to the room and saw Christopher smiling from where he was sitting on the bed.
"What?" I asked with a cheeky smile.
"You look beautiful" He said as he tapped a space beside him for me to come to sit. I sat beside him but could not meet his gaze. I was too shy to look at his bare and broad chest. He pulled closer to me, his fingers tilting my face up to meet his.
'Are you shy?" He asked.
"I don't know' I whispered.
He pulled me gently and sat me on his lap. My heart skipped a beat.
"You don't know?" He asked in a seductive voice and I could feel my heartbeat pounding in my chest as he leaned in closer to me.
"I don't know" I repeated. He brushed his hands softly on my thighs teasing me in the process. His lips delicately graze my lips and his eyes starred deep into mine. His arms pulled me close, his lips rested gently upon mine and I kissed him back with passion.
He gently placed me on the soft bed and lowered himself down on top of me with my lips still locked with his. I let out a deep moan when his hands went up my thighs.
"Christopher" I called out.
"I'm I going too far? I'm sorry" He said as he sat up on the bed feeling bad.
"No, it's okay. I want this" I whispered as I pulled him back to face me.
"Are you sure?" He asked with concern.
"I'm sure" I said as I loosened the knot of my bathrobe.
He looked at my hands as they slowly loosened the bathrobe and exposed my bare skin.
"You look sexy" He said as he kissed my navel. I smiled at him whilst blushing hard.
"Thanks" I answered.
He smiled at me and kissed my forehead. I ran my hand playfully on his bare chest, and we made love. He went easy on me and it was both painful and pleasurable at the same time.
