Chapter 4: A Romantic Dinner For Two
Still Robert's POV:
I had woken up early the next day, not that I wanted to, but I had to go into the office to fill out my paperwork for my promotion. I had gotten to the office before it was even open. I was still on cloud nine from last night…
Flashback:
As I was leaving Vanessa's place, I kissed her. It was hot, passionate and wonderful.
End of Flashback
I must have been spaced out because my boss Elias was calling me, "You ok Rob?" he asked, "Yeah, I'm good, just remembering my date from last night," I told him, "Oh. Ok. Well, let's go inside and sign the paperwork, then you can get back to the girl," he said, and I smiled. We walked inside and he had all the paperwork ready, "Ok, now if you just sign on the dotted line, it will be official," he said, and I signed and handed it back, "Well that makes it official Rob. Congratulations, and I'll see you on Monday," he said, "Thanks," I said as we shook hands, then I left.
As I was driving home I was thinking of what to cook for Vanessa tonight. I decided to cook chicken fettuccini alfredo, so I made a quick stop by the grocery store and got what I needed. As I drove home I called Vanessa, "Hello?" she said, "Hey. Its Rob," I said, "Hey. I was just thinking of you," she said, "Oh really," I said with a smile, "Yeah. I am really looking forward to tonight," she said, "Me to. I'll be over at 6pm," I said, Oh. I was thinking you could come over early and we could watch tv and hang out," she said, "Sounds good. I'll be right over," I said, "Ok. See you soon," she said, then we hung up. I decided to grab a quick shower, didn't want to be smelly for her, them dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, packed up the groceries, got in the car and headed out.
Vanessa's POV:
I had just gotten off the phone with Rob and decided to take a quick shower, I wanted to look nice for him. I dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, comfy casual. I was giving myself one last look when my phone rang, the caller ID was Ashley, 'Shoot. Forgot to call her,' I thought, "Hey Ash," I said, "Hey V. So how was the date?" she said, "It was great. I'd love to tell you more, but he's on his way over," I said, "Oh. A 2nd date?" she asked, "Actually, he's coming over and we're having a nice quiet dinner that he is cooking," I said, "Wow. I'll let you go, but lunch tomorrow, and I want details," she said, "Ok. See you them," I said, then we hung up. About 10 minutes later the doorbell rang. "Hi Rob," I said, "Hi Vanessa," he said as we hugged, then he came inside, and we headed to the kitchen, "So what's on the menu tonight?" I asked, "Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with a green salad," he said, "Sounds yummy," I said, he put the groceries away, then we walked over to the couch and sat next to each other, "Want to watch a movie?" he asked, "Sure," I said, "Pick out something," I got up and popped in 'Love Actually,' then I sat back next to Rob. While we were watching I noticed that Rob had started to hold my hand, it was sweet.
The movie was funny, we laughed. By the time it was over, we had put our arms around each other, and were so comfortable that way I must have dozed off cause by the time I woke up it was starting to get dark out. I didn't get up, but looked over at Rob who was sleeping peacefully beside me, 'he is really handsome,' I thought, "I know you're looking at me," he said with his eyes closed, then he opened them, "How could you tell?" I asked, "I felt you looking at me," he said, I blushed, "Hungry?" he said, "Starved," I said, then we went to kitchen.
Robert's POV:
After the great nap on the couch with Vanessa, which was great by the way, we went in to kitchen so I could start dinner, "Care for some wine?" I asked, "Love some," she said, then I pulled out a bottle of Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon that I had chilling, I poured two glasses, and handed her one, "Cheers," I said, "Cheers," she said, then I set off to cooking dinner. I prepared the salad, grilled the chicken, heated the sauce, cooked that pasta, then as I was about to get out some dishes I noticed Vanessa looking at me, "What? Do I got sauce on me?" I asked, "No. I just really want to kiss you right now," she said, then I leaned over and planted a soft, but firm kiss on her lips, she reached up and held my neck as we kissed, then we came up for air, "Wow," she said, I smiled, then I served up our meal, "This looks great," she said, "I hope you enjoy it," I said. I could tell from the first bite that she was enjoying it. "Vanessa?" I said then she looked up at me, "Yes?" she asked, "Can I tell you something?" I said, "Sure," she said, "I've never met someone quite like you before," I said, "Thank you. I feel the same way about you," she said, "I like you, and when I say I like you, I mean I really like you," I said, "Thank you. I really like you as well," she said. We finished our meals, then I washed up the mess I had made, and put the leftovers in the refrigerator, then we went and cuddled on the couch. "Rob?" she asked, "Yes," I said, "Do you mind if we cuddle on my bed, I'm a little tired," she said, "Sure," I said, then we walked into her bedroom, I'm going to change into something more comfortable. Make yourself at home," she said. I took off my shoes and got on her bed. She came out of the bathroom dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank top, she looked sexy as hell, "Tired?" she asked me, "A little bit," I said, then we got under the blanket and started to cuddle, needless to say, it was great, but I was getting turned on, "Asleep?" she asked, "No. You?" I asked, "No. Just thinking," she said, "About?" I asked, "Promise you won't be embarrassed by what I'm about to say," she said, "Promise," I said, "I was thinking about how much I like you," she said, "I like you to," I said, she smiled and we kissed, "It's getting late. I better go," I said, as I was getting up, she grabbed my hand, "You know, you can stay if you want to," she said, "Only if you want me to," I said, "I want you to," she said, I smiled and got back in her bed, and held her close in my arms and we fell asleep.
