Chapter 8
A month has gone by and things have been getting better between Stefan and I. We spend a lot of time at the boarding house just talking and reading books together and just spending time together. It's Friday night and Stefan wanted to cook me dinner. I know that he doesn't have to live off of food but I do. He makes homemade lasagna and fresh garlic bread. After dinner, I help him clean up and we head to his room to listen to some music. Laying on his bed listening to Etta James, because I said she was my favorite, I am listening to his heartbeat. I look up at him and he kisses me softly. I deepen the kiss and he rolls over, hovering over me. I pull his shirt up over his head and he looks at me and asked, "Are you sure? We don't have to do anything." I kiss him softly and whisper and say "Love me Stefan." He kisses me passionately and we begin to undress each other. I looks at me again as if asking permission and when I whisper "Please." He slowly enters me and gives me a minute to adjust. He slowly makes love to me and when we both reach out releases, he lays next to me and pulls me into his side and rubs my back softly.
A couple of hours later, I get home and Caroline comes to my room and asked, "How'd the date go?" I look at her and blush a little and her eyes go wide. Walking in and closing the door, she asked "Did you?" I nod my head yes. "Oh my God. Tell me. How was it?" I smile and say "Care, it was amazing. He was so soft and gentle and perfect." I tell her. After we talked for a while, I texted Stefan goodnight like I do every night.
L: Goodnight Stefan. Thank you again for tonight. It was perfect.
S: You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I love making you smile.
L: Well that you did. I am really, honestly happy.
S: Good. Now, get some sleep and I will see you tomorrow.
L: Night Stefan.
S: Night Princess.
I still can't believe that I actually had sex with Stefan. He is so good to me and I am so happy but I still keep waiting on the other shoe to drop. It always does.
The next day, Stefan picks me up and we go for a drive. We go to the Falls and are sitting in his car just talking and I am curled into his side. "What are you thinking about?" He asked. "You." I respond. "Really now?" He asked. "Yeah." I sit up and look at him and say "I wanted to say something to you last night but I was scared it would scare you off." He looks at me and says "You can tell me anything. I'm not going anywhere." I take a deep breath and say "I think I'm falling in love with you." I look down at my hands and he tilts my head up and kisses me softly and says "Good because I think I am falling in love with you too."
