Today there was a beehive of activity at the studio, I had clients packed in for both consultation and make up session. I barely had time to sit. Thankfully I didn't do any home service. I sat in my couch massaging my feet, geez, I'm so tired.
A knock came to my door, I deliberately sat back, Because I didn't place any order so a delivery guy must have mixed up the address. So I ignored it but it's persisted.
I groan rubbing my shoulders as I walk to the door and check the peep hole before opening it. I recognize him as he turned his head and looked at the door and my heart freaks out!
"Zayne?" I asked myself quietly
He knocks again, I tried brushing my hair out of my face and smoothing it down with my hands, but it's a lost cause. I had worked my ass out today and look a mess. I panicked but on a second thought I wasn't expecting anyone after all so I wasn't supposed to be looking like a princess.
The look on his face when I open the door was unsure.
"Finally, had almost thought you weren't home" He looks tired, that's when I noticed that he doesn't look better than I am. "Kay Says I should bring this to you" He holds up a mini bag to my face.
Oh! Now I get it because I was wondering how he found my apartment.
"She shouldn't have bothered you I could've picked it up anytime, She really didn't have to send you" I say collecting the mini bag from him.
He shrugs "Well, she insisted" He puts his hand in his scrubs Pocket as his eyes drop down to my clothes. I chuckled trying to hide my embarrassment.
"Do you mind if I come in" He says running his hands down his face and looking over my shoulder. I contemplated before I move to the side to let him in.
He walks inside and I shut the door behind us. I felt very self-conscious with him in the room, he glances around, puts his hands on his hip as he Faces me. I see he looks a little disappointed but I'm not sure if it's in me or himself. I gently put the mini bag that contains books on the table beside the couch,I will go through the books later.
"I lied, Kayla didn't insists on me bringing the books, I volunteered to" He says with his hands still on his hips.
I fold my arms over my chest and watch as he inhales and exhales a deep breath.
"Why?" I asked carefully for my voice not to tremble.
"I know I said I will find you, and I didn't call, but I wanted to give you space and respect your decision." He has begun pacing my living room talking frantically with his hands "But for the past week I haven't been able to get you out of my head. I don't know why. At work, at home. You are all I think of and how crazy it feels when I'm near you and I need to make it stop, Jodie." He stops pacing and faces me "please make it stop. Just once-that's all I ask. I swear" he rubs his mouth and looks at me. His eyes are still frantic but pleading.
"How well have you been sleeping?" I ask him calmly.
He laughs a little frustrated and rubs the back of his neck "Haven't you been listening to all I've been saying"
I nod "I have. Zayne, you drove all the way here to beg me to have sex with you. Oh let me rephrase that, to have a one-night stand with you and you'll never think of me again" I say as calmly as I could. "Are you joking right now?" I ask
He thinks for seconds before reply "Well...…You make it sound worse than it actually is"
"That's because that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard Zayne" I say throwing my hands in the air.
I walks towards me, thanking my face in both hands and looking into my eyes "Please" he pleaded.
I try shaking my head, even though my body seems to be responding to the sensation in his voice. I can feel his hand slowly trailing down my back.
"Please Jodie! I promise you'll enjoy every bit of it" he says with a sly smile on his face. "I want you so bad, I'm really good at it. I will make sure you do"
I roll my eyes and let out a nervous laugh. Not denying the excitement spreading through my body.
"Let me take that as a yes" he sounded excited.
"I don't look my best right now, I'm all sweaty" I say gesturing my body.
He replies almost immediately "take your time, I will wait". He follows me into the bedroom. Thankfully I'd had cleaned up this week, So everything is still in order. I go to the bathroom door as I turn back to him as he stops gingerly when he gets to the bed. I wonder how this guy talked me into this. He raises a brow in question.
"Zayne, You say this will be a one night stand right, I really do hope you do not come back for more cause I know you will not be able to resist me" I walked into the bathroom before he could reply and shut the door lock in it.
I gently scrub my skin slowly, I listen for the sound from the bedroom but I hear nothing. I dried myself, picking up my toothbrush and brush my teeth. while staring at my face in the mirror. "Have fun with him" Sophie's words came rushing to me.
I quietly open the bedroom door and I see him laying in bed with his clothes on the floor. It wasn't until I got closer to the bed that I realized he was snoring. I lowered myself into the bed beside him but he didn't even budge, I shook him a bit he still didn't budge. I stare at him. He looks so good sleeping. He must be really exhausted, I put my phone in silence turn off the bed lamp. Here I was sleeping naked next to a naked man who badly wants to have sex with me. I laugh.
