Hey lovelies, hope you had a good weekend, and I'm glad you liked the last chapter! Now lets see what happens next
When I woke up the next morning I was immediately reminded of what happened the night before. I couldn't believe that we'd done that, and at the same time, I couldn't wait to do it again. I was content to just lay in bed and replay everything again in my mind, but Chase had other ideas.
"Okay okay, I'll get up," I said as I reluctantly got out of the bed. After throwing on some clothes I grabbed Chase's leash and we both headed out into the morning. It was a nice walk, that was one reason I loved having a dog, as it made me get up and have some form of exercise first thing. We walked to the little dog park near the apartment and I let Chase run around with the other dogs, and I ended up making small talk with some of the other owners.
Once we got home I gave Chase some food and I went to make coffee, I was trying to decide what I should eat when my phone chimed, alerting me to a new message. It was from Magnus, wondering if I was up and wanted to talk. I grinned and then felt myself blush. I wondered if it would be different talking after what we did last night. Without thinking about it I dialed his number, and he picked up after two rings.
"Hey, good morning," he said, and I could feel my insides move at the sound of his voice.
"Morning to you too, or more like afternoon there," I said leaning against the counter.
"How's everything so far?"
"Good, just got back from walking Chase. Now I'm trying to figure out what to have for breakfast, it's quite thrilling over here," I said, sarcasm lacing my voice.
"Hey now, you making food is probably quite thrilling to watch. Especially if you were doing it naked," he said, his voice dropping a little as he did.
"So, this is what will be different."
"What do you mean?"
"Just that now we've…you know," I said vaguely. "Now you'll be dropping in comments about me being naked."
"It's cute you can't say sexted," he breathed out, and I could tell he was smiling. "But you feel free to talk about my being naked as well, don't want you to be left out of the naked talk."
"You're crazy," I said as I poured myself some coffee.
"Only crazy when it comes to you, I think you bring it out of me," he confessed.
"Oh, so it's my fault you're like this?"
"Entirely," he stated. "But, in all seriousness, are you okay with everything that happened last night?"
"Of course I am," I told him, moving to sit on one of the stools at the breakfast bar. "It was amazing, and something I've wanted to do for quite a while now."
"Okay good, didn't want to scare you off," he said sounding relieved. "It was amazing for me, and like I said, I've been thinking about it for a while as well."
"Have you…done that before? I mean, thinking of…ummm…" I mumbled trailing off, not being able to say it out loud.
"Alec, are you asking if I've got off thinking of you?" He asked, and I just knew he was grinning like crazy.
"Oh shut up," I said sticking out my tongue even though he couldn't see me. "But yes, yes I am."
"I have, a few times. You're just too hot so it's not really fair," he told me. I could feel my body grow hot at the thought of that.
"Have you?" He asked, breaking me out of my thoughts, which was probably a good thing.
"Umm, yeah. Also a few times, like after we talked on the phone for the first time. Your voice is intoxicating just so you know," I confessed. I could hear Magnus breathing on the other side of the phone, and I quickly got up and opened the fridge. I needed to busy myself or this talk could slide over to another territory really fast.
"That's…ummm….very interesting information to know," Magnus breathed out.
"I know right, I thought so," I said as I grabbed the carton of eggs.
"So, we should talk about something else. As much as I would like to carry on this specific topic, maybe we should move slowly with this new territory," he said.
"I agree, so what are you up to today?" I asked, bringing out some vegetables to cut up and throw in the omelet.
"Well I have some more papers to grade, which is the never-ending life of an English professor, and that's basically my day," he said. "Not very interesting I know."
"No it is, it's still hot that you're an English prof," I said pouring everything into a pan.
"I am super glad that I chose I profession that can turn you on so easily," Magnus teased.
"Yeah yeah, it doesn't take a lot to get me going," I teased back.
"I like that though, it's pretty hot," he said. "But anyway, what are you getting up to today?"
"I'm very much like you today, I have to try and finish the manuscript I'm reading. I'm about halfway through it and I want to be done before work tomorrow, then I can move on to the next one," I said as I flipped the omelet.
"The never-ending life of an editor," Magnus said.
"It's good that I like reading so much, or else I'd have to kill myself with the number of manuscripts I read in a week," I joked, bringing my food into the living room so I could sit on the couch.
"And that would be a real shame," he said. "But I guess I should head off, go grade those papers since my students for some reason want them back tomorrow." I laughed at that.
"Yeah I should get going also, I'd say I'm going to start reading, but I'll probably watch something for the moment," I confessed.
"So jealous about that," he said. "I'll talk to you later Alec," I said goodbye as well, and then we hung up the phone. I was already anticipating the next time we talked.
"So how was your weekend?" Maia asked. It was already the middle of the week, and her and Izzy suggested we meet for lunch. I knew what they really wanted was to hear about Magnus, but I wasn't going to turn down food.
"Oh you know, read a lot, and of course talked to Magnus," I said before taking a bite of my burger.
"And what did you guys talk about?" Izzy asked, giving me a knowing look.
"Oh a little bit of this, and a little bit of that," I said smiling, knowing it was killing her that I was being so vague.
"Oh come on, did you take my advice or what?!"
"What advice?" Maia asked.
"It wasn't advice, she just butted in and wanted to know why Magnus and I hadn't done anything sexual since we've been talking. Then she said that I should ask him if he wanted to since I wouldn't know unless I tried," I explained, rolling my eyes in the process.
"I was wondering that too actually. If a guy I was talking to was as hot as Magnus is then I would have jumped on that the first day," Maia said grinning.
"Yeah well, we did just agree to be friends. We didn't want to get into anything that would complicate things," I told them, popping a fry into my mouth.
"Anyway, did you ask him if he wanted to go any further or what?" Izzy persisted.
"Even though this is none of your business, I know you won't stop asking until I tell you," I said sighing. "So…we may have delved into that sort of stuff…"
"Way to go, Alec," Maia low-key cheered. "So like what did you guys do?"
"Was it on the phone, or did you Skype?" Izzy asked.
"Well we were messaging each other already, and then the conversation kind of moved on to a more sexual nature…so we just continued it from there," I said, and I knew I was blushing.
"Super adorable, your first sexting adventure," Izzy congratulated me. "That must have been hot, when Simon and I do that it's hot."
"I really have no desire knowing what you and Simon get up to thanks," I said shuddering. "But yeah it was actually pretty amazing, and fun. Not as scary as I thought it would be."
"Do you think you'll do it again?" Maia asked.
"Probably, though Magnus did say he wants to do it over the phone next time, so we're just waiting until the right moment," I told them.
"God you guys are just too cute, it's going to be a nightmare when he moves back 'cause then I'll be able to see the cuteness. I may just have to throw up," Izzy teased.
"We'll all have to go out once he comes back, after you two get your fair share of each other of course. The sexual energy is going to be insane between you two," Maia said.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves here," I said. "Magnus still has four months in London, and we haven't talked about what's going to happen between us once he moves back. For all I know he might not even want to start anything with me."
"Oh Alec, of course he does," Izzy insisted. "From what I've heard about you guys, he's crazy about you. No one would keep talking to you this much if they didn't have any feelings."
"I don't know, it's all just so hard this long distance thing," I sighed. "No wonder relationships hardly continue once someone moves away."
"Maybe you should talk about it with him, see where he's at. Or at least talk about the whole just friend's thing, see if that's changed at all," Maia suggested, reaching over to pat my hand.
"I might, though you know how I hate any form of conflict. What we have going right now is great, and I don't want to screw it up."
"Talking about feelings won't mess this up, and I mean if it does then clearly it wasn't meant to be in the first place," Izzy said, and I hated to admit that she was right.
"I'll try talking about it to him this weekend, it would be nice to see where we stand. It would stop me from freaking out and thinking the worst," I said.
"There you go, see I come up with the best ideas," Izzy said grinning. "Now finish your food, we need to get back to work soon."
I went back to eating and thought about what she said. It made sense to talk through things with Magnus. Even though in the beginning we did decide on staying friends, now that we've moved things over to include all things sexual where did that leave us? Friends didn't normally get each other off, at least none that I've ever had. I did hope that he wanted a relationship once he moved back, it was the only thing keeping me sane with all this long distance. But like Izzy said I wouldn't know anything unless I asked. If only she could just do it for me.
I know this chapter was pretty short, but don't worry the next one will be longer to make up for it, I just needed a little filler chapter to set more things in motion. I'll see you Wednesday for a better filled chapter ;)
