Part Six
Kelly lets out a soft breath as she looks at herself in the mirror. She'd decided to go with her pink dress with white polka dots for tonight. She hopes it's okay for their date. Taking a deep breath, she walks over to slip into her white open toed heels. She needs to stop panicking; it's obvious this is what they both want. She looks at the clock and smiles a little. Just enough time to run down to the office and pay her rent. She grabs her purse just in case Ted arrives while she's downstairs.
When she comes out of the office, she sees Ted climbing out of his truck. She smiles widely as she makes her way over. "Hi," she says. She lets her gaze slide down, taking in his blue shirt and khaki pants. She loves the look on him.
Ted looks over and smiles. "Hi," he replies. "Was wondering if I had the right place."
She nods. "I should have told you that it's an old motel that was converted into an apartment complex."
He grins. "Not a problem. I found it."
She smiles once again. "Glad you did." She chews on her bottom lip as she follows Ted to the passenger side of the truck. She smiles even wider when he opens the door for her. "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
She watches as he walks around to the driver's side, unable to stop smiling. She can't believe this is actually happening. She almost feels like she's going to wake up from a fairy tale dream. As Ted is pulling out of the parking lot, he reaches over to take her hand. Kelly smiles as she looks over at him.
"Do you like Greek?" he asks.
"I don't think I've ever had Greek," she answers.
He nods. "I thought we'd go to this Greek place that I know. It's good. Would you want to try it?"
"Sure, I'm always up to trying something new."
Kelly climbs out of the truck with Ted's help when they get to the restaurant. She licks his lips as she slides her arm through his. "You'll help me find something to eat, right?"
Ted laughs softly. "Of course I will." He opens the door for her and follows her inside. He can't help but let his gaze fall down her body. She looks absolutely beautiful. He stops when they reach the podium. "Hi, two."
"Okay," the hostess says. "It'll be just a few minutes."
"Okay, thank you." He looks at Kelly as they step to the side. "You look beautiful."
Kelly blushes. "Thank you." She licks her lips. "I was just thinking how amazing you look."
He grins at her. "Nice to know we're on the same page then."
She nods. "It is." She sucks in a breath when he slides an arm around her waist. She's slightly surprised by the gesture but thrilled at the same time.
They're seated a few minutes later and Kelly settles in across from Ted. She smiles as she takes the menu. When the hostess walks away, Kelly looks at Ted. He smiles at her as he opens his menu.
"Okay, so I don't recognize anything here," Kelly says softly.
He laughs softly. "Well, if you trust me I'll order for you."
She grins. "Of course I trust you. I wouldn't be here if I didn't."
Kelly listens as Ted orders for them, wrinkling her nose a bit as she tries to figure out what he's ordering. She trusts him so she isn't worried; she just has to wonder what he's ordering for her. She smiles at him when he looks at her once again. "Do I get to know what you ordered me?"
"Food," Ted answers.
She laughs softly. "Good to know." She smiles as he reaches over, taking her hand. "So are your boys giving you a hard time about being here with me?"
"No, not at all. They were giving me a hard time over the weekend because I hadn't asked you to dinner yet." He grins. "I'm glad I finally did though."
"Me too." She licks her lips, running her foot gently over his calf. "I don't think I've smiled this much in a long time."
"Well, I'm happy that I'm the one making you smile."
"You should be." She giggles as she blushes a little. She shrugs. "I don't know what it is about you, Ted. You're just… everything I could have ever wanted."
"I wouldn't say that."
"I would. And don't argue with me."
He laughs. "Yes, dear."
Kelly beams at that. She likes the sound of him calling her dear, even if it had only been in a joking manner this time. Maybe she can get him to call her dear for real. "Thank you."
"You're welcome." He winks at her. "So tell me something I don't know."
She shrugs. "Um… there's really not much to tell. I can't wait to graduate so I can get a job that doesn't require getting whistled at as I pass a table."
"So I should stop doing that?"
She laughs. "No, you can. But no one else."
He chuckles. "Good to know."
They spend the rest of the time there talking about almost anything that is brought up. Kelly had talked about what she enjoyed not just now but when she was younger as well. Ted had talked about his boys growing up. They both brought up where they had thought they would be at this point in their lives. The question that now has Kelly shocked…
"Do you want kids?"
Kelly licks her lips. She knows the answer, but she just doesn't know how to answer it. What if Ted doesn't want any more kids? He has three boys as well as four grandchildren with a fifth on the way. How could he want more of his own? She bites her lip. "I um…" She shrugs. "Um…" She nods. "Yes, I want kids. I've always wanted kids. I think I've always wanted them because I wanted to prove to myself that I'm not my parents. Well, there's more than just that. I love kids. And I hope we… I can have kids someday." iOh God, please tell me you had missed that./i
Ted smiles at her. "You'll make a great Mom."
"Yeah? But… I…" She sucks in a deep breath. "I hope they have the same smile your family has."
"I will do my best to make that happen."
That statement nearly melts Kelly. She definitely hadn't expected him to respond like that; though, she hadn't expected to say anything like that. "Well, they all do, so I'd say it's a good possibility."
"Maybe. As long as they have your eyes."
She can't believe they're having this conversation. It's their first date and they're already talking like they've been together for ages.
Ted follows Kelly up to the second floor when they reach her complex again. "How long have you lived here?" he asks.
"Two years," Kelly answers as she stops in front of her door. "I like it. It's small, but I like it." She licks her lips as she looks up at Ted. "Would you like to come in?"
Ted nods. "Sure."
She turns and unlocks the door. "Now remember, this used to be a motel, so it's all one room. Just bigger rooms than what they used to be."
"How so?"
"There were 20 rooms when it was a motel. There are 10 apartments." She opens the door and steps inside.
Ted follows her, closing the door behind him. He looks around, taking in everything. They walked into the kitchen and dining room area, straight ahead is the living room area, and in the far corner is the bedroom area. It's small, but it's well organized. "I like it. And I see you extended your love of pink everywhere."
Kelly giggles. "My kitchen isn't pink. Well, okay, I have some pink cups, but other than that, it's not. Though, there's a new set of pots and pans that I want and they're pink."
"Of course they are." He smiles as he watches her set her purse on the table. He steps up behind her, sliding his arms around her waist. "I had fun tonight."
Kelly turns in his arms. "Me too." She smiles up at him. "And I'm glad you chose that restaurant. It was amazing."
He nods. "I'm glad you liked it." He kisses her softly.
She smiles against his lips. "I don't want this to end, Ted."
"Me neither." He kisses her again, this time with more force.
She lets out a soft moan as she wraps her arms around his neck. He rubs her back softly, loving the way she clings to him. Kelly drops an arm, only to lean down and push her shoes off; though she's on her tip toes now, not that she cares. Having to be on her tip toes is also making her press up against him even more.
"Ted," she says softly. "Please."
He looks down at her. She licks her lips nervously when he looks at her. Maybe she shouldn't have said that.
"I'm sorry. I…"
Ted kisses her as he pulls her tight against him. "Don't apologize." He takes a step back. "Lead the way."
Kelly licks her lips as she starts unbuttoning Ted's shirt. "I didn't invite you in for this. I hope you know that."
He nods. "I know." He lets his shirt fall to the floor when Kelly pushes it off his shoulders. "I didn't expect this when I agreed to come in."
She takes his hand and leads him to the bed. She turns toward him, smiling shyly. "I um… don't have…"
"I do."
She frowns a bit. "I thought you said you weren't expecting this."
"I wasn't. My son put it in my wallet. Apparently he thought I should have one just in case."
She smiles at him. "Well, I'll have to thank him next time I see him. But enough about him." She leans up and kisses Ted. She tugs at his undershirt.
Ted lets her pull it off before he kicks his shoes off. He leans down to pull his socks off. He then turns back toward Kelly and slides his hands up her sides. She shivers a little at the mere touch. She didn't know it was possible for such a simple touch to make her feel this way. She reaches down and undoes his belt, hands shaking slightly.
"Are you okay?" Ted asks.
"Yes," she answers. "Just a little nervous." She licks her lips as she undoes his khakis. "I haven't done this in a long time."
He grins. "Me neither." He kisses her softly. "I'll go slow."
"Okay." She lets him take a step back, sucking in a deep breath when he slides his hands to her back.
He licks his lips as he tries to find the zipper of the dress. "Am I in the right spot?"
She giggles. "No, it's on the side." She tugs the zipper down before unbuttoning the strap.
Ted reaches over to slide the dress down Kelly's body. As if he isn't hard enough already, the moment he sees her breasts fall free, he gets even harder. "Oh wow." He leans down, pressing kisses along the exposed skin. "You're beautiful."
Kelly moans softly. "Oh, Ted."
Neither waste any more time and strip out of the rest of their clothes. Kelly pulls the blankets down quickly before laying down. She smiles as she watches Ted grabs the condom before he crawls onto the bed. He hovers over her, kissing her deeply. She moans, sliding her hands up and down Ted's back.
Ted slips the condom on. "If you need me to stop, just say so."
Kelly nods. "Okay." She sucks in a deep breath when she feels him press into her. "Oh wow."
"You okay?"
She nods. "Yes." She smiles at him. "Told you it's been a while."
He kisses her as he pushes the rest of the way in. He stops to let her adjust. "Tell me when you're ready."
"I'm ready."
He starts moving slowly. She whimpers as she presses up against him. It's better than she could have ever imagined. He feels so amazing.
"So good, Ted. Oh God, so good." She slides her hands up Ted's back, curling her fingers. She ends up digging her nails into his shoulder blades.
He kisses her neck as he continues at this steady pace. He could easily move faster, but he wants this to last. He wants her to continue to moan for him. He's going to be selfish and make this last as long as possible so he can feel her completely lose it in the end.
Kelly whimpers as he continues at the slow steady pace. "Oh God, so good, Ted." She turns her head and kisses him. She slides a hand up, tangling it in his hair. "So close." She can't believe how little he has to do in order to make her lose it. He's amazing.
"Oh Princess, come for me."
She whimpers as she arches up, reaching her peak. "Ted…" She buries her face into his neck to keep from screaming out.
Feeling her tighten on him is enough for Ted to reach his own orgasm. "Oh Kelly." He carefully slips out of her, nearly falling apart again at the noise she makes.
Kelly runs her hands up and down Ted's back. "Oh, that was amazing."
Ted kisses her softly. "You're telling me."
Kelly reaches over and shuts the alarm off the next morning. She licks her lips as she wipes her eyes. She wishes she could just stay in bed all day. Too bad they have to go to school. She rolls onto her back, expecting to find Ted. She frowns when she sees the space next to her empty. Sitting up, she takes a look around. She smiles when she can hear movement in the bathroom. Good, he hadn't left. Her smile widens when Ted emerges from the only closed off space of the apartment.
"Good morning," Ted says. He smiles as he walks over. Leaning down, he kisses her softly.
"Morning," she says. "What are you doing up already?"
"I'm usually always up this early." He shrugs. "Can't manage to sleep in anymore."
"Oh." She smiles up at him. "I'm glad you're still here."
"Of course I'm still here." He sits down on the bed and kisses Kelly again. "I wouldn't leave without saying anything to you."
"Good." She runs a hand through her hair. "I guess I need to get up and get showered."
He nods. "Okay. How about some breakfast?"
She smiles. "Breakfast sounds good. I don't have much right now."
"I'll find something. You go shower."
Kelly walks into the kitchen after she gets dressed. She smiles at Ted who's standing at the stove. "Smells good."
"Good, it should." He smiles at her. "Just in time, Princess." He dishes out the eggs onto two plates and walks over to the table.
Kelly sits down and looks at Ted. "Have I told you that you're amazing?"
Ted chuckles. "No."
"Well you are." She starts eating. "I mean that."
"You are too." He winks at her.
"Are you leaving after breakfast?"
He nods. "Yeah. I need to head home so I can shower and get my books."
Kelly nods. "I'd say you can shower here but all I have is girly stuff."
"I figured as much."
She chews on her bottom lip. "Maybe I should buy some stuff for you to keep here."
Ted grins. "Okay. But better yet. You buy your things to leave at my place and I'll buy my stuff for here."
Kelly smiles at that. "That sounds good. I was hoping you wouldn't think I was crazy for saying that."
"Not crazy at all. It makes sense. May even open up a drawer for you to keep a few clothes there as well."
She smiles wider. "Really? Just like that?"
He laughs softly. "Just like that."
She probably shouldn't be surprised, but she is a little. This is the start of something amazing, she can feel is. She wonders if this is what true love feels like. She knows it's way too early in the relationship to know that but it certainly feels like it.
A short time later, Ted is getting ready to leave. Kelly doesn't want him to go just yet but knows he needs to; besides, she'll see him in a couple of hours in class. She licks her lips as they walk to the door.
"Thank you for last night," Kelly says. "Everything."
Ted looks at her and smiles. "You're welcome." He leans down at kisses her. "I'll see you in a couple of hours."
She nods. "I'll be there."
"You better be." He kisses her again. "Bye, Princess."
"Bye, Bear." She steps out onto the walkway with him and watches him walk to the stairs. She can't stop smiling. This is an amazing feeling; one she doesn't want to lose. She waves when Ted looks up at her one last time before climbing into his truck. Yes, this is definitely it.
