45. Sinful Book 1

I felt like I was sleeping on the clouds; I was so comfortable, so comfortable that if I was a Disney Princess, I'd wake up with a smile on my face. I turned to the sleeping man beside me, he looked peaceful in his sleep, his hair scattered on the bed like a second sheet, he looked really beautiful, like there isn't a time of day that he looked bad, at all.

"If this isn't a sight to wake up to" Antonio's deep morning voice said, looking directly at me. Shit!

"I- I just woke up," I stuttered.

"Mmmm?"

"Your hair looked like it was suffocating you, so I just-" my excuse wasn't even making any sense to me.

"You know what? Fuck you," I let out, rolling my eyes at him, I looked away, trying to get out of the bed, but he pulled me back to him.

"As a matter of fact, I'd love that very much" his voice was deep and rough, sending shivers down my spine.

I kept my eyes on him, not knowing how to talk or function, I was lost and I didn't want to be found!

"Wait, you actually think I want to fuck you?" He asked, laughing; the question brought me back to my senses.

"What's wrong with me? Why won't you fuck me?" I asked.

"Because that's nasty" he said and made a disgusted face, pushing me off him as he got up from the bed. I sat on the bed looking at him, because I was in awe. This wasn't the Antonio I knew, he felt like a stranger to me; the new side of him was alarming.

"Stop looking at me like that, or I might have to change my mind" he licked his lips and bit his lips afterwards.

"No, no it's fine, don't change your mind, I'll just go to my room" I said to him and he nodded.

When I say I ran out of the room, I RAN OUT OF THE ROOM, Usain Bolt got nothing on me. I ran into my room and locked the door behind me, not that he was following me or something, I just felt like I shouldn't be in that room for another second. I sat on the floor, leaning my back against the door as I thought about what happened earlier this morning, it honestly felt like a dream to me, like what was going on? What was happening? I felt like everything was in fast motion and I was behind like slow motion.

"I feel deep things for you" I remembered Antonio's words from earlier. It wasn't something anyone has said to me before, it was weird but cute. Who was I kidding? The whole confession was weird but cute.

I shook my head and pushed myself up from my sitting position. I picked up my phone from the bedside table to call Melissa.

"Good morning Sewa" Melissa's voice came in.

"Good morning, so I'm not coming in for work today, make an excuse for me, tell them I'm sick or something" I told her lazily.

"I already did" she said, from her voice I knew she was smiling.

"What would I do without you?" I smiled.

"Nothing at all! There are some documents that needs to be attended to as soon as possible though, so do I bring them to you?" Melissa asked and I shook my head; it's how I kept forgetting that people couldn't see me when we are on a call, for me.

"No, I don't want to see any work related thing right now, I might die" I joked and she laughed.

"Well, thank you, bye"

"Have fun" she said and I hung up. Have fun?

Melissa was like a witch, she knew what had to be done and how to do them, when to do them, I was really lucky to have her.

"Hey are you coming out for breakfast?" A knock came in, followed by Antonio's voice.

"Yeah, I'm coming" I told him and let out a breath as I thought about Noah.

I had to call him, I needed to apologize to him, but for some reason I didn't want to.

I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, washed my face and went out to have breakfast.

Antonio was already sitting at the dining table, with a plate of waffles before him, but he was using his phone.

I got my share of breakfast, sat beside him and started eating when Antonio's voice stopped me.

"So, I know this is not something you're ready for, probably because of what has happened and how I've behaved, but uh- I want to try" He said and started eating.

I bursted out in laughter, which earned me a glare from him.

"How do you say something like that ant act like it's nothing?" I asked him and he smiled.

"I don't know how to act okay? It's not like I've done it before, I don't know what I should say next, I don't even know how you feel or if you feel anything, so I jus-" he started to say but I cut him off by pulling him in and placing my lips on his.

I was hoping the kids would give him the answer to his questions.

I started pulling away from him, but he grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him and keeping me in place. It felt like I hadn't kissed him in ages, or like it was the first time I was kissing him. Or maybe it was because it was the first time we were just kissing to show how we felt about each other. In the past, anytime we kissed, it was because we were about to have sex, but this time it was purely beautiful.

"You still have to use your words, Miss" Antonio teased as he broke the kiss.

"I feel deep things for you, Sir" I used his words from earlier.

"Give me a moment, I'm calling in sick right now" he smiled and picked up his phone to call someone.

I didn't know what was going to happen between us, but I sure as hell liked how we were.
