Chap 9
Ray fell asleep with Neela's head on his shoulder. When he woke up the next morning her head was on the pillow next to him and her arm was across his chest. Like it belonged there. He gently lifted her arm and got up to make coffee. They were going to need it before they showed up for work today. I am exhausted and in pain. He smiled. In a good way.
Neela awoke to the smell of coffee. She felt tired but good. When she opened her eyes Ray was sitting cross-legged next to her side of the bed in his boxers with a cup of coffee in his hand for her. He is so sexy, I never want to stop kissing him. How do I make him want me forever?
He said, "Good morning beautiful. We need to talk about last night."
"Ray, please. I am not an idiot. I know you. I know about the other women. I know you aren't interested in long term relationships. I can handle it. For as long as it lasts, I am happy just to have you back in my life." I know he loves me but I don't want him to feel trapped.
"Neela, what I was going to say is, that I have changed. There hasn't been anyone since the day you came to ask me if you could move back in. I love you. I want this to work. And, by the way, we won't be needing the extra room anymore because you will be sleeping in here with me. Every night."
"Oh, is that so? I am not sure that works for me." Liar. Actually, the thought of sleeping next to him for the rest of my life comes to mind.
"It better. Don't make me get tough with you."
"Hmmm. That sounds intriguing, will there be handcuffing involved? Sorry, but we have to go to work. By the way, Ray, I love you too." She kissed him. Ray started to deepen the kiss and she slugged his shoulder. "We don't have time." He gave her the puppy dog look again. "It's not going to work on me this time, Barnett. Now go take a shower." He was so handsome. It took her breath away. And she started to rethink the shower thing.
"We could take one together…." He teased.
"Get out of here!" She started to get out of bed and realized she was naked. He stopped walking away and stared at her. She was so beautiful. And she was his. "Ray, you were going to take a shower."
"I am just admiring the view. I guess I'll be taking a cold shower. Not the first time that's happened, being around you." But this time it was making him smile. You are a lucky man. Don't screw this up Barnett.
"Oh, really. I could probably think of some way to ease your pain." She smiled at him shyly, got up and followed him into the shower.
Needless to say, they were late to work, but they were in a really good mood when they got there. Even when he saw Weaver's face it didn't affect Ray's happiness.
