Derek must have read the room and the signs because he takes another route away from us and leaves making sure to hit the door hard enough as he does. I wrap my hands around Curtis and feel him as I lay in his chest.
"I am sorry about that. Derek just came over to talk that's all. I did tell you about him" I tell him slowly so we can have a calm discussion.
"That was quite a talk if you ask me" he answers as he leaves my embrace
"What does that mean?" I asked folding my arms together on my chest and a little upset by what I think he is suggesting
"Your hair is all wet. You are wearing a very short towel and look..... Another towel on the floor right beside the door' he says as he picks up the towel I had used to wrap my hair that I had lost with my altercations with Derek at the door
"So? I had just got out of the shower when he came and I thought that was you by the way" I tell him
"And you didn't think to put anything on? just talk with your ex half-naked huh?" he says throwing the towel and heading to the kitchen where he emerges with a drink in his hand and still mad enough
"And how did you lose a second towel by the door anyway? A lot of things aren't adding up" he says pointing to me and the towel
"What are you trying to suggest? When I heard the Knock I thought it was you and that you had forgotten your keys like every time" I shout back at him and take a seat
'I thought you had broken up with the guy and I find him kissing you in the living room with your short little wet towel" he continuously
"I thought we did. But she still had issues and we were just talking. I am sorry you had to see that it didn't mean anything"
"You surely didn't want me to see that. Was it the first time or has it been happening behind my back all along?" he asks as he pours another one
"Are you serious? You're going to ask me that after everything?"
"I need to know who I am in a relationship with. I can't have you making a fool of me"
"And what about me? Am I a fool?"
"You? What have I ever done to make you doubt my love and intentions for you?"
"Really? Then you wouldn't mind if we spend the night at your place tonight" He places his drink down and head over to me silently and slowly
"Are you trying to turn the blame on me? Are you trying to say that this is my doing?" he asks and when he gets close to me looks me in the eye
"I just think it's impossible that we have been dating for months and you haven't taken me to where you live. Not once. What are you hiding? Is this even real? Do you have another girlfriend? do you live do you live my place to go to another woman's?" I shout back and head to the bedroom as he follows me there I go to the closet
"Do you think I am stupid? Huh?" I keep shouting at him as I get clothes from the closet and place them on the bed where he is taking refuge at the moment
"Where is all this coming from?" he asks me slowly
"Oh from where? You just accused me of cheating on you while you have been living a double life, you are the cheater and you come in here and pretend to be almighty pointing fingers in all directions"
"I thought you trusted me," he says trying to hold my hand on the bed
"It goes both ways boo .where do you live and where have you been spending your nights when you're not here with me? I have given you my whole life and you kept yours a secret. I don't want any more drama in my life right now"
"What does that even mean? I just found you in the arms of another man while he was kissing you quite literally. I'm not over it and now you're giving me this s***" He suddenly lets me go and stands up while pacing the room
'You know what? Whatever. I'm done be with Dickson or whatever his name is. I don't care but don't give me this crap" he shouts at me and heads to the door
"Yeah. Run off to your girlfriend and tell her I said hi" I shout back as he leaves the bedroom.
I hear the sound of the front door being slammed to let me know he left. I can't believe him, how dare he? The audacity to do that to me. Now I have no date, I am mad and frustrated with the whole argument. I guess I'll just order in get drunk and call it a night.
It's been five days without a sound from Curtis. Not a call, text or email. I think we are done this time. I can't believe I thought he was the one. I don't want to tell Alice because I don't want her to tell me that she told me so and that she was right. I am already hurting I think it's enough punishment.
It's Thursday and I'm off working as I'm getting home so I can shower and go to bed. I bought cake and dessert on the way and that's going to be my dinner. I opened the door and I am met with the smell of food and it smells delicious. I immediately head straight inside and find the table has been set with candles and flowers and chocolates it's all very romantic.
"I am sorry. Please accept my apology" Curtis says as he comes from the kitchen and relieves me of my purse and coat and helps me take a seat at the table
"I love it," I tell him as I take a seat. He kisses my forehead and goes to take his own seat and pours us champagne
"If you love it does that mean I'm forgiven?" he teasingly asks as he raises his glass and I do mine
"it depends on what you have to say for yourself .but first I have to taste the food to know how much I love it" I answer back as I slowly dip my finger into the glass and taste it seductively
"mmh…..!! You're going to have to pay for that later. Seeing as how you have made this dinner the longest thing I have to endure to have you in my arms" he answers as he adjusts himself in his seat and I can't help the laughter that bursts from me which earns me an eye. A very sexy look.
"Why don't we start on dinner my lady" He gestures to the table
"Well don't you seem to be in a hurry" I tease as I take a seat
"Please" he starts serving me before he goes to himself. I look at him and he does as he does while I smile at him. I have to admit that I miss him and I miss these moments here with him and I am so very glad he came back to me
"I am sorry I made you upset. I am sorry we argued and I'm even more sorry because I didn't open up to you as I was supposed to when all you did was love me" he tells me on the couch where we sit having wine after dinner our hands connected
"I am sorry too. I hated arguing with you and worse being away from you" I silently tell him
"You should know where I live. I want us to go spend some alone time there this weekend starting Friday and tomorrow. Please say yes"
"Yes and yes I will Mr Donovan" I answer back smiling and he kisses me. He puts his glass down and does the same with mine. Now our hands are all over each other as we deepen the kiss. He suddenly retracts in a sexy frustrated kind of way as he parts the hair on my face as we both breathe out
"You are done with that Dickson guy right?" he asks still breathing hard as I nod my head
"Answer me with words. Damn it" he asks biting his lip
"Yes, I'm done with him. I have been even before we met. It's you and me babbly" I answer back and he attacks my mouth so hard I think I taste blood
"I missed you so much," he says grabbing my neck and waist while the upper hand goes down into my shirt and the lower goes down into my pants.
