Falling for You

Chapter Eleven

I jolt awake in the middle of the night. I turn my head and see Brett. He's even more beautiful in his sleep. His lips are parted, and his eyelids twitch. He must be dreaming. I really need to use the bathroom. I get up in pain. Holy shit, my behind hurts a lot. I take a look at Brett and smile. He really is here. I take a look at the clock above my bed. The clock reads "three forty six AM." I shrug and make my way to the bathroom. I close the door behind me quietly and take a look in the mirror. I look and feel different. It definitely was time for a change. I do what I have to do, wash my hands, and open the door quietly, trying not to wake him. He stirs and groans as I slip back into bed. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me to his chest. Is he awake? He doesn't open his eyes at all. I close my eyes and fall into the best sleep ever.

"Hey. Wake up, it's time to get ready for work." Brett says, looking down at me. I sigh and close my eyes. Just one more minute, shit. "I said get up!" He yells, throwing my blanket to the floor. It's so cold in here, I hug myself. Before I even say anything, Brett wraps his hands on my ankles and drags me out of bed, literally. I let out a loud laugh and as soon as I know it, I am on the floor. Brett plants a kiss on my lips and walks out of my room. "I'll be waiting in the kitchen for some breakfast." He says, closing the door behind him. I look at the clock and it's only seven in the morning. We don't start work until eleven. Perhaps he's hungry. I slip on his white shirt. I make my way to the kitchen and there he is, playing with Milo in the living room. A lot has happened and I had forgot about my cat, I am such a great owner. I smile and Brett looks up. He gets up and he's in my tight boxers. Oh my. He walks to me and he wraps his arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around his neck. We kiss passionately for what feels like an eternity, I hope my morning breath isn't that bad. "Be. Mine." He says in between kisses, breathless. I don't know what to say to that. I continue kissing him, he stops, and stares into my eyes. He's waiting for my answer. Perhaps I should give him a chance. I'm scared he will be like the others. "I really don't know." I say looking into his beautiful, blue eyes. I break free from him, and make my way to the kitchen, he follows. "Why?" He says, I shake my head. "Was it a past relationship?" He says with fear in his eyes. "Every guy said they were not like the others, but the ended up lying to me." Memories of my past relationships flash and tears start to roll down my cheeks, and then the memory of getting fired comes to mind. I collapse on the floor and start crying. "Holy shit, no." Brett says scooping me up in his arms. He puts me on the kitchen island, his hands on my face, wiping the tears. "I promise you, I won't hurt you." He says looking into my eyes. "That's what they all said." I say looking at his chest hair, yum. He kisses me, hard on the lips and looks back at me. "I will never hurt you, trust me." He says. At this moment, I don't care "Okay." I say, he smiles. I throw myself at him, his hands on my behind, and one of my arms around his neck, and my hand on his face. He throws me against the fridge, and kisses me violently, our tongues wrestling. He presses his groin into me and he's already hard. We pull away and look each other in the eyes. Brown eyes to blue eyes. "Breakfast?" I say with half a smile. "I want you for breakfast." He says with his grin. That makes my crotch stand to attention, I am glad for his oversized shirt. "Sorry to ruin your plans, but I'm hungry." I say walking to the pantry. He sighs "same here. I prefer you though." He says looking me up and down. I scowl at him and walk into the pantry. When I walk out of the pantry, he's sitting on the stool, like a little boy. He's so adorable. "Pancakes?" I say with a smile.
