Thursday, December 6th, 2018 – Miami, FL
Cedric Harvey pulled up to the townhouse owned by the girl who currently had his attention. He smiled as he opened the door and hopped out of his truck before he walked towards the front door wearing his "Wheat" Timbs with black ripped jeans and a white t-shirt with a blue jean long sleeve shirt with his sleeves rolled up. He had his gold chain around his neck and his gold lion head earrings in his ears. He exhaled nervously before he rung her doorbell. It was the first time since he had woke-up on her couch that he would be seeing her. He stood there waiting for a while before she swung the door open.
He was speechless as she stood in front of him wearing nothing but a tied-up bath robe with her wet hair that she was combing through while he looked her up and down.
"What are you doing here at 2 in morning?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"I-I-I was in the neighborhood and I thought I would stop by. And-Um, I'm kind of glad I did." He said as he first started to look her in the eyes before his eyes started to trail down her body. She saw him and gave him a slight smile before she used her finger to lift his head and bring his attention back to her eyes.
"Two things. First, my eyes are up here mister. And Second, if you're that's your line to say that you want a second date then come on in." She said as she moved out of the way and allowed him to walk into her townhouse.
"So, I'm gonna go upstairs and put something nice on and when I come back down stairs, we can figure out the moves." She said as she closed the door and walked towards him placing a finger on his chest before she walked away. As she walked up the stairs, she bit her lip as she felt his eyes trailing her. Cedric chuckled as he walked towards the couch and took a seat. Once he got relaxed and settled his phone rang making him take it out of his pocket to see who was calling making him sigh before he accepted the call.
"Hey Desiree, I'm kinda in the middle of something."
"Okay, I just wanted to tell you that mom and dad are having their annual Superbowl party and they're wondering if you wanna bring this mystery girl along with you."
"You told them?"
"Well, I had no choice. Your mom is really good at telling when people are lying."
"Unfortunately, it's one of her special powers." He sighed.
"So are you bringing her?"
"I guess, I have no choice but to bring her."
"Okay, I'll tell dad to make room for one more."
"Fine." He said before he hung up the phone with a sigh at the end. Just as he put his phone down on the table in front of him, Annalise came down the stairs.
"Is there something wrong?" He heard Annalise ask making him look up to see some black Nike leggings and white Nike tank top that was loose on her.
"No not at all." He lied as he smiled while he looked her up and down. Annalise rolled her eyes as she walked towards him and mounted over him and cupped his face.
"You know I like you." She said to him as she looked him in his eyes. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I feel like there's a but coming." He said while she giggled.
"But I feel like you're holding back with me. Remember you can talk to me." He sighed before he put on a smile and kissed her on the head.
"I'm holding back until you give me a second date." He joked around with her causing her to roll her eyes at him.
"Deal if you promise to talk to me about what's going on with you now."
"It's my family. My sister told my mom and dad about you and now they want you to come to our annual Superbowl party." He said as she smiled now.
"Let me guess your mom is the super judgmental type?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"I wanna go. I wanna meet the woman that made this beautiful child." She said.
"Good then it'll count as our 3rd date."
"Good so I'm guessing after that we can stop counting the dates."
"Yes, we can, it's starting to get weird."
"Babe I think it was weird after date 1.5."
They both chuckled as they looked in each other's eyes. Eventually Annalise leaned down and gently placed a peck on his lips. He smiled as she then started to giggle.
"Sorry I don't know what came over me." She said.
"It's fine I liked it." He said as she then leaned back down and kissed him once more. This time a bit longer than the last time and definitely more passionate and less awkward. When they pulled apart, they both had huge smiles on their faces.
"So, we can get this second date going with a movie and some chinese or we can do this all night. The choice is all yours." He said as he took her hands from being cupped on his face and gave her a kiss on her hand.
"Deal. I'll watch the movie but only if I pick it and I get to lay next to you." She said as she stood up and walked in the kitchen. He got up and followed close behind her taking out his phone and begun to dial the number for the local Chinese place.
"Any way that I can spend time with you is okay with me." He said as she grabbed two of her wine glasses and a bottle of Wine from her wine rack.
(!)
After several hours Cedric woke up in a queen size bed shirtless in his jeans with Annalise lying next to him in the same clothes she was in last night when they started off on the couch watching their movie. Cedric turned his head and saw Annalise sleeping peacefully with her arm draped across his chest and he noticed that his arm was around her while they lay under the covers. He smiled as he looked at her until his smile faded once his phone started to ring.
He sighed as he used his free hand to reach for the phone and pick it up from the nightstand. His stress increased once he saw the number on the phone, Desiree. He kissed Annalise on the forehead before he gently extracted himself from her and grabbed his shirt off the ground before he answered the phone while leaving the room.
"Morning Champ." Desiree said cheerfuly in the phone making him groan.
"I have yet to have my morning workout so I'm still kinda sleep." Cedric said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"You know most people would drink coffee to wake themselves."
"I think me and you can both agree I'm not normal. Now I know that you never call me just to chat so what do you want."
"Well, I'm at the house or office. I can never really think of what to call this place since it's my office but it's your house. I guess I could call it-"
"Desiree focus." Cedric cut her off.
"Right. I'm at the house and you're not here which is odd."
"Well, I'm having a sleep over with Annalise."
"Oh my god, did you two do it yet?"
"What? No."
"Good 'cause I don't want any nieces or nephews unless they're Kala's."
"Do me a favor and at the party do not mention that."
"Mention what?" Cedric heard making him turn around to see Annalise walking into the kitchen now.
"Desiree I'm gonna have to call you back." Cedric said he hung up the phone and walked towards Annalise. He kissed her on her forehead and smiled at her.
"Mention that I have a new goal that I have to reach in my career." He lied. Annalise nodded while she walked over to the coffee machine she had and started to operate that.
"Well, you'll reach it in no time." She said being hopeful making him smile. It was partially true. He wanted to be the NXT Champion by the end of the year and it would help push him once he started off in the Main Roster.
"You're too good for me." He said as he walked towards her and kissed her on the cheek.
