Just the two of us

JUST THE TWO OF  US

Narrators POV

***************** 

The diagnosis of his mother with kidney failure left Chris shattered, it felt as though his heart was about to be ripped off his chest. He had no relationship with his father who had died when he was just five months old. According to his mum, he had gone to the mall to get a new set of diapers and on his way home, he was hit by a drunk driver. The police had come home to deliver the news to her about her husband's death. She never remarried after that and decided to focus all her time on bringing up her son.

Chris walked back and forth in the small living area as his mind flashed to the past, he was horrified and devastated at what the future would hold for him and his mum. Death was not an option that he was willing to consider, losing his mother now was not something he was willing to dwell on.

Glancing at his wristwatch on interval he waited for Selena who was supposed to have arrived by now. He hoped her father had not seen her on her way over and stopped her from coming. Falling in love and being happy with your partner was not supposed to be this hard nor should it cause so much heartache. Mr. Harry Delacroix has become a thorn in the flesh and he was not an easy man to be appeased.

The door handle twisted suddenly drawing him out of his reverie, he hoped it was Selena and not a neighbor wanting to borrow something, or coming over for a chit-chat.

 When he sighted Selena, he heaved a sigh of relief.  He loved how selfless she was, always putting others above her, when she had called him earlier he knew she would insist on coming over and he was not sorry for being needy at this point, he really needed and wanted her around.

As  Selena unpacked the groceries she brought along with her, Chris drew her into his arms. He had only wanted a tight hug from her but suddenly he felt deep arousal and needed to make love to her. Tipping her oval smooth face to the side, he kissed her deeply on her soft succulent lips. The kiss grew deeper and he wove his tongue into her mouth thrusting them deeper and savoring the sweet taste of chocolate she had eaten on her way to his house. Selena matched his passion, he was irresistible and she could never have enough of him.

“Chris.” Selena said breathlessly as she separated her lips from his, “we have to stop now, remember we have a plan to wait till we graduate.” 

“Yeah, I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.” he wiped his face with his bare hands “can you help me with a bottle of water in the fridge.”

“Sure.” she handed him a bottle and looked at him,” what did the doctors say about your mum.”

Heaving heavily “her kidneys are failing and she has to start undergoing dialysis by Thursday”

“Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry,” Selena said trying not to weep or lose control in front of Chris, she felt that she needed to be strong for his sake.

Shrugging “it’s okay, we will get through this.”

“Do you have health insurance to cover the cost?” Selena asked, she was always practical in everything she did.

“No” he shook his head “but we have some money saved up, it would do for now.”

“I have some savings too, I can send it to you.” giving him her savings would not affect her at all, there was still her inheritance from her mother and the trust fund her dad opened for her since she was born.

Smiling now “thank you Selena for loving me, but what we have now is okay. I would let you know if and when I need more.”

‘Promise.” she said, making smug faces at him

“I promise.” he made a gentle jab of his forehead on her before pinching her nose playfully

“Shake on it.” their sudden burst of laughter filled the whole kitchen, Chris grabbed her hands and swirled her petite frame around.

MINUTES LATER

“I’m famished, I haven’t had anything to eat since breakfast,” Chris said after their laughter died down.

“I will whisk up some spaghetti, it won’t take so much time to prepare.”

Chris stayed with her in the kitchen as she made dinner for both of them, they ate the meal standing by the kitchen counter talking and laughing. What Selena loved most about her relationship with  Chris is the ease at which they both flowed with each other, they both found great solace in each other’s company

It was almost nine-thirty pm when Chris glanced at his wristwatch “it’s late Selena, I hate to see you leave but you have to go now it is getting dark and I don’t like you driving alone late at night.”

“I plan to spend the night here” suddenly unsure of herself “that's if it’s okay with you.”

“I like that a lot.” his face creased with a thoughtful frown “but what about your dad, he would kill  me if he finds out you are here.”

“I lied to him that I was going to visit Cherry, I already planned with her so she knows what to say to dad in case he decides to call her.

“I would bet my last dime that he would put a call across to her just to make sure your story tallies, you know your father doesn’t like losing especially to me.” he grinned at her

“Stop it, Chris. Enough about my father. I need to take my bath now and prepare for bed.” 

Eyes bulging with mischief  “do you need some company in the bathroom.”

“Stop Chris.” Selena blushed “your mum is in the next room”

“She is deep in her sleep already.” with two giant strides he reached where she was standing close to the bathroom, “I mean what I said.” he kissed her deeply leaving her panting for her breath. Their hormones were already going haywire with desire.

Biting her lips she smiled seductively at him and walked into the bathroom without saying a word. Her heart started to beat faster in her chest as she didn’t know if he was coming or not. When he did not come in after her, disappointed but relieved she opened the shower and allowed the cold water to run through her. 

The strong arms that wrapped around her bare flesh made her gasp and the bulge she felt sticking at her back made her horny, and aroused sensuous parts of her body.
