Chapter Seven- Dating
Philip's POV
Shane's house goes up for sale, and I buy it immediately. I know my dad will question this investment, but it's in a decent school district. I can easily do a few improvements and flip it. Or maybe I could give the house to my brother. I would figure out what to do with the house later.
I am doing what I can to protect you, Andrea. Now that the house has sold, he will move faster.
We had a great time on our third date at the Garth Brooks concert. You let me hold you close, kiss you, and even stay all night again. You still haven't allowed me to make love to you yet.
I have done so much for you already, but you are holding out on me. I am sure you had sex with Shane on the first date.
So why are you making me wait so long? I blocked Shane from your phone one night when you came over. He wouldn't stop texting you and I really didn't have a choice. I know you haven't replied, but it's better for you not to get those messages. You've practically moved in with me since your breakup.
Not completely, but you started staying all night Wednesday through Sunday. We've had six dates now and I am so in love with you. I know you are still thinking about Shane Walsh, that is fair he has only been out of your life for five weeks. I knew moving on would take time. You are physically here at my home now. But mentally you seem so distant.
"What is your mind on?" I ask, looking at you across the table.
"I was thinking about Amy's spring play. I should probably meet Penny soon if we are taking her with us. That's if we are still going to Florida," she says softly looking down at her dinner plate.
Had we been together for almost a month? I do remember promising to take you home to Florida. Introducing you to my daughter is a tremendous step, especially since we haven't made love yet. But you weren't wrong. Penny and you need to meet. And I had already booked our hotel for the trip.
"Of Course we are still going to Florida. And Penny has seen you around the house already. So meeting her is the obvious next step. She is getting curious about you," I said, squeezing your hand.
You get up and take your plate to the sink. We then walk to the bedroom like we have been doing the last few days. We have sort of a routine going on. Now is cuddle and kissing time, I think.
"I will be glad to met your daughter. I hope she likes me. You will meet my mom, dad, and sister while we are in Florida. I really want you to meet my sister, Amy. She is the most important person in my life," she says, putting her arms around me.
"I'm prepared to meet Amy. I feel like I already know her," I replied.
Penny is already in bed with Sasha, her nanny, keeping an eye on her. Hopefully, I wouldn't need a nanny much longer, I think, looking over at you.
"Yes, she is the star. Meeting my family is a big step and I think maybe we should take more steps forward in our relationship. I know I have been quiet this last week. It's only because I had so much school work. Nothing to do with us," she says, wrapping her arms around me.
She is going to ask me to make love to her, I think. Five weeks of holding you, kissing your neck and cuddling are all leading up to our first time. I couldn't wait.
"I know that our relationship is moving pretty fast. And I hate to ask," she says, her blonde hair that looks straighter is falling in her face.
"Ask," I said, realizing she wasn't going to ask me to make love to her, I feel a little frustrated.
"My hours at the restaurant have been cut. They've really struggled since covid. Now they are only going to be open on weekends. And my lease is up next month. Could I move in with you? If not, I could ask Michonne to move in with her," she says, almost admitting she financially needs me.
"Of Course you can move in. Don't even worry about that job. You are my girl. I will take care of you," I said, kissing her lips.
"I will need to find another job soon. I need to pay off my credit card and I want to help Amy move to New York," she says seriously after we pull away from the kiss.
"Don't worry about getting another job. As long as you're with me, I will take care of everything. For you and your family. I want to give you everything you want," I promised her.
"Everything I want?" She asks, suddenly looking completely sexy in that oversized Whittney Houston shirt with her red panties showing.
"Yes, everything," I said, covering you with my body. I start kissing your neck like I have been every night since your first night in my bed, moving lower on your body. You are moving in with me, why shouldn't I make love to you? I couldn't wait forever for you to ask. We have been a couple for a month now and you will never move on from Shane until I make love to you. I slowly remove your red panties, sliding my fingers inside of you.
"How long has it been?" I whisper.
"So long I can't remember," you lie. I know your last time is with Shane, because I watched the two of you together. I knew it would take several times for being inside of you before you would feel like mine.
"Let me remind you," I said, taking off my boxers. Both of us naked in bed together, our bodies touching.
"Do you have a condom?"she asks casually.
"I do," I said, reaching into my nightstand and grabbing one. I rip open the wrapper, quickly putting it on before she changes her mind. She spreads her legs open, making it easier for me to slide inside of her. I continue kissing her neck as I finally take her right there in my bed.
