Chapter xix

We sat by the garden enjoying the barbecue that was being prepared by Michael. He was good at it and i figured that was what inspired Cheng to become a chef even if he didn't know it but i saw how easy his father moved on the grill. "Ok people, dig in", he said placing the final plate of ribs on the table. Cheng made our plate, yes we were sharing and it made everyone look at us with Anthony making a chocking sound getting a smack from their mother. "Where do you want to sit?", he asked me holding our plate and gesturing for me to pick up the drinks that Lucy had placed on the table. "We could sit by the pool", i pointed at where Nikita and her husband were sitting. We sat right infront of them Cheng making sure that i was close enough to lean on him. "Hey guys, how are the kids?", he asked Nikita's husband who smiles so wide. "Hey man, they are amazing. Hi Lina, am Travis, pleasure", he said offering me his hand to shake which i did. "Does this mean that you are finally going to baby sit?", Nikita asking wiggling her brows. "What makes you think that?", Cheng asked eating the rib like he has not eaten in ages. "Well last time you said no because you had no one to help you but this time around you have Lina", she said with a big smile. "We are not living together", "I know that, but you gotta have sex at some point and by the way you are boring, i bet that you wouldn't want to have sex outside your house", my eyes were as big as oranges at this point and i couldn't believe how comfortable they were talking about sex like who does that? We went on eating and me listening to them chat about Nikita and Travis's kids who seemed to terrify Cheng to the fullest.

I was busy helping Lucy clean the dishes when Michel entered the kitchen and sat on one of the kitchen stools. "So Lina, how did you break him? I was so sure that he was unbreakable", he told me making Lucy giggle. "Am not that bad", Cheng said entering the room making me smile. "Stop trying to chase her away", he said hugging me from behind. I felt shy, doing it infront of his parents but it was so obvious that i was the only worried about it. "Son, am pretty sure she is here to stay, i know love when i see it", Michael replied smiling at me. He walked to Lucy kissing the top of her head and pulling her out of the kitchen. Cheng turned me towards him, "Hey", "Hey", i replied smiling. "I think this is the best birthday i have ever had", he said then pulled me in a kiss that made me forget that i was at his parent's house. "Get a room", Mia shouted from the door making me laugh in the kiss and Cheng pull back. "Cock blocker", he told her with a smile. "Whatever", she said playfully then came closer. "Hi, am Mia, his favorite sibling",she whispered making me smile back. "It's nice meeting you Mia and your secret is safe with me", i said with a wink. It was now approaching two am so Cheng told me to say my goodbyes because he had plans for me. The way he said it made me understand the meaning right away making me smile.

I fell asleep the moment we hit the road and was woken up when we were at his apartment. He helped prepare a bubble bath for me then gave me the privacy. When i was done i did the same for him and waited between the sheets for him. I was fast a sleep when i felt him pull me to his chest and i snuggled deeper hearing a chuckle but i was so tired to open my eyes.

"Good morning cupcake", he whispered in my ear making me moan. My hands went to his neck pulling him closer as he hovered over me. I felt his lips on my neck kissing me lightly on his way to my jaw then finally my lips. I gave in, i wanted him, i craved him. His tongue entered my mouth exploring every inch of it. The feeling was out of this world. He pulled back and removed my clothes leaving me bare infront of him. I smiled as i saw him licking his lips, his face full of lust. He removed his pants and searched side table drawer. "Fuck! Cupcake i really want you but i don't have any condoms", "It's ok am on a pill", i said pulling him back down. He entered me ever so slowly making me hold on tighter to his neck. "You feel so good Cupcake", he whispered making me moan even louder. His pace was slow as if he wanted me to get used to him before letting go. He kept on kissing my lips and my neck slowly as he did it making me feel so good. It had been a while since i last made love so this was amazing and i was happy that he was the one i was with. As much as i wanted to deny it. He was the man for me. I am in love with Cheng, i just hope that he loves me too.
