By the time the food and drink were finished had I calmed down and head to the bathroom to wash off. I could appreciate a man that took care of his woman though, because all the cum that should have been caked up between my legs was gone and my body didn’t feel sticky. I wonder when he found the time to wipe me down and why I didn’t wake up? I’m typically a light sleeper. Guess he fucked me to sleep.
In the bathroom I feel my heart skip a beat and smile when I see body wash, clean towels, and a brand-new toothbrush sitting out for me. I would have never thought Channing would be this attentive or sweet. It’s such a huge difference in behavior. After my stay in the luxury spa, which was the bathroom, I dry off with the fluffy towel left out for me and put on a robe that looks just my size. He must have women over a lot. I would have never guessed that Channing liked plus sized women. That aside he has too much girly stuff here.
I’m going to have to talk to him about that if he’s serious about dating me. I’m just not comfortable using another woman’s leftovers. I was just about to go back in the room to see if I could find something inexpensive of his to put on but I hear the bathroom door open and in walks Channing, smiling from ear to ear.
“There she is! I was looking for you to see if you liked the food.” He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. “Mmm, you smell good baby.” He snuggled my neck kissing it and I resisted the urge to pull away from him. Not because I didn’t like him or what he was doing but because now that my head is clear this is all moving so fast and… it’s weird to say the fucking least. Instead of pushing him away though I find myself turning to his arms feeling a comfort I never expected to get from him of all people.
“You keep acting like this and I’ll never want to go home.” He stiffened pulling me tighter against him.
“I’m one hundred percent okay with that Angel. If you don’t want to go, you can stay here as long as you want.” He hugged me tighter and my heart started to hurt because being in his arms felt so good. “I don’t want you to go, stay with me.”
“Aww, that’s so sweet, but I have to go. I must get home because some beast went crazy on me so now I have to relax my body for work on Monday. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I stay here, I’ll be too be drained to leave the bed two days from now, and that’s bad because I can’t afford to take another day off. I have rent to pay. Unfortunately, I’m not worth a billion dollars and own a multimillion-dollar house.”
“Don’t worry about that I’ll allow you to use your paid time off. As for the apartment? Get rid of it, you can stay here.” I looked up at him laughing.
“Haha, very funny, but seriously no thanks I don’t want you to show me any favoritism just because we are seeing each other now.”
“Fuck showing favoritism Angel this IS favoritism.” I could only look at him shake my head at him.
“You’re too much.” Pulling from his embrace I take the shirt and sweatpants that he’d brought in and thank him. “Seriously, thank you. I appreciate it but I don’t need that. Just treat me fairly at work and that will make me feel better.” As I get dressed, I hear my phone ring. Muttering a curse, I throw on the shirt and run to my phone and see it’s my mom. Shit, I forgot to send my mom the payment for my brother’s schooling.
Checking my account, I see groan when I see I have just enough to send the payment for my brother and pay rent. I guess I’ll be eating noodles for the next two weeks.” Using the cash forwarding app, I send my mom the money and apologize for being late.
It was me who told my mom that my brother needed to go to that school three years ago. She wanted him to go a public high school, but I begged her to give my brother the education that he deserved, and now the shit is coming to bite me in the ass. Sitting I put my phone back into my purse and heave out a sigh.
“What’s wrong Angel? Is everything okay?” Not wanting to get him involved, I look up and wipe the exasperation from my face.
“Everything is just great. Why do you ask?”
“I ask because you look tired and sad. Tell me what’s wrong.” I get up and shake my head.
“Nothing wrong here. Anyways I want to thank you for the meals they were absolutely delicious. I also want to thank you for offering me to take PTO on Saturday. You’re so sweet for that, you’ve shown me a different side to you that I may become very found of. That said, can you tell me where my car keys are?” I ask looking around in my purse not finding them.
“NO!” I jump and turn to him almost dropping my purse. Shocked by his outburst I look at him as if he’s lost his damn mind. Since I’ve been here, he has shown me nothing less than a sugar sweet version of himself, so why the sudden outburst? This the type of shit that made give him the side eye. Was last night this morning an act? As I look him over, he seems so be in a state of panic with his chest is rising and falling and his fists balled.
“Are you ok?” I step up to him to comfort him, but he grabs me and pulls me into a hug.
“I'm sorry for yelling Angel. I didn’t mean it. However, I do want you to stay here. If it’s a matter of things you need, I’m a provider and I protect and serve. Just tell me what you need, and I can get it here in an hour tops.” Shaking my head, I pat his belly.
“No its ok. I should get going. I don’t want to overstay my welcome. This is still new between us and I want us to take our time getting to know the real us.”
“We’ve been knowing each other well over three years it’s not that new, and I already know you and I lo-like everything about you.” He let out.
“Channing you know good and well I’m talking about our dating not about us knowing each other. We just started this yesterday. That’s very new.” Why is he being so persistent about me staying here?
“Well none of that matters to me. Our acquaintanceship is long enough, there’s no need to take things slower, besides staying together will be fun.”
“Fun? That’s what you call it? It’ll be more like premature. We don’t even know if this will las-”
“It absolutely will. Don’t even finish that sentence.” Is he for real?
“Okay I won’t but still I need to get going. Today is the last day I have to pay my rent and after that I have to make groceries.” He frowns and hung his head looking like a disgruntled child.
“Can I at least drive you?” Smiling I shake my head no.
“I drove here remember. If I’d taken a cab, I would have taken the ride hands down, but I’ll be fine. Please don’t worry about me, I’ll call you tonight okay?” He looked away pouting and that act alone had me wanting to stay. Too cute. After I get the rest of my things together and he hands me my keys, I stop as I head to the door when I feel his eyes burning into the back of my neck. Giving him one more kiss on the cheek I go to leave and only get as far as my car when he comes out grinning. “What’s got you so happy?” He came up on me kissing my neck.
“Nothing baby I just want you to know that if you ever need me, I'm here for you and don’t hesitate to call me... Anything, and anytime and I’m there.” Seriously why has he waited so long to show me such a sweet side? I give him a ton of kisses because he wouldn't let me go. Finally, inside my car I start it and drive out looking at him from the rearview mirror. The events that took place in his home yesterday and today were so unexpected but I’m surprisingly happy about them? There really is a thin line between love and hate, huh?
