Part twenty eight

Monae's POV

I need coffee, a hot cup of coffee.

I yanked the sheets off me before getting out of bed. I looked around for something to wear since I was only in panties. After coming back from class yesterday, I stayed up in my room all day long to study my ass off for the online exams we had later in the evening but it lasted through to 11:30 pm and I ended up exhausted afterwards so right after I took my bath, I slipped on panties and climbed straight to bed.

My eyes fell on a bathrobe on the vanity table, I must have forgotten about it last night. I picked it up, slipping it on the same time I put on my slippers and left to the kitchen after I checked the time on the wall clock, it is still 5:50am.

That means most of the people in the house are still in bed, no one will see me in this short bathrobe if I hurry my ass up to the kitchen and get myself a cup of hot coffee to awaken my senses and body which seem to have fallen numb after the stress last night.

School keeps getting stressful everyday as we level up to more advanced stages. I wish I was done with it already and setting up my own business. I threw back in laughter, "look at you, you haven't gotten to level 200 and you're wising for that." I shook my head and entered the kitchen.

Just like I expected, there was no one around so it was just me. I instantly made for the cabinet where Asabrewaa keeps the coffee powder and tea bags and pulled out one coffee bag then went over to the gas cooker.

I removed the water I had boiled from fire onto the marble counter to allow it settle for sometime as I walked to the fridge, taking milk from it and went back to preparing the coffee.

Bringing the cup to my nostrils, I inhaled the smoky and herby scent of coffee, a smile instantly found its way to my lips before I took a sip of it. I moaned, I usually don't make coffee because it isn't something I like so it really isn't my expertise unlike tea but I can say this coffee tastes phenomenal! I couldn't stop myself from gulping it all down and fixing myself another cup.

As I leaned on the island table with my second cup of coffee in hand, sipping, my thoughts travelled to my adopted family. I wonder how they're faring and if they miss me like I do. I'm sure Imogen would and maybe Rex? Yeah, but I'm sad no one has made any effort to get through to me, you know like try to find out if I'm okay, where I am now or how I am doing.

Sadly, nothing of that sort has happened. I haven't crossed part with any of them, not even Imo who knows where my school is located, she could have come over there to check up on me or something but no.

I exhaled heavily, I guess I wasn't as important to her as I thought I was, she didn't consider me a sister like she always told me. Sadness washes over me as it dawned on me, I meant nothing to her all this while when I found a sister in her, someone I could relate as my own though we weren't blood related.

"Nae?"

Oh that voice!

I quickly wiped the tear that had fallen before I spun around to face Michy. What is he doing here? I asked myself as I took in his appearance, it doesn't look like he had just gotten up from bed. I gulped, feeling a wave of excitement rush through me, my face heating up instantly when I saw his shirtless body standing not less than ten steps away from me.

My heart was beating so fast in my chest, it felt like it was going to burst any minute. I have a weakness for muscular sweaty body and this guy was proudly flaunting his in my face.

I continued to stare as swear trickled down his chest to his flat stomach that I wish was mine till they disappeared into.....

Oh shit!

"My eyes are up here." His voice drew me out of my stare. I blinked twice, averting my gaze to look at his face.

Not again!

He was staring at me with that amused look of his again, his lips trying not to smile at my flustered face. This is so embarrassing.

I had been caught and my tongue seems to be tangled, I can't say anything as I continued to stare at his face and I knew my cheeks weren't doing anything to lessen the fact that I was embarrassed.

Michy closed the gap between us as I stood there rooted like a tree, watching him inch his head closer to my face till his nose touched mine. He sticked out his tongue and I immediately shut my eyes thinking he was going to smash his lips on mine until I felt his tongue lick the side of my mouth.

Strangely, my heart warmed as it continued to beat fast in my chest but I was disappointed when he pulled away instantly. We both looked away, embarrassed by what just happened.

I was embarrassed the most, I not only caught staring and practically drooling, I also closed my eyes as I anticipated him to kiss me.

What is happening to me?

I can't explain or understand what I'm going through. Why does my heart flutter especially when he calls me Nae? Or the way his intense gaze sends ripples of excitement and desire through me? I haven't even talked about the part where he seems to be messing my mind with his affectionate gestures which he thinks I'm not aware of.

That he comes to my room late nights to caress my cheeks, kiss my forehead, knuckles and gaze at me while I sleep.

And I like all these, I like all of them and the way just a single touch of those slender fingers of his on my skin warms me.

But I'm confused as to all this, why do I feel like this? I've read romance books and I know it is love but isn't it rather strange I should be feeling all this for someone I hardly though I live with him? But again, there's something familiar about him and I can't pin point what, it's like we've gotten acquainted before.

Whatever it is that I feel, I think I have to do something about it before it drives me to act crazy and stupefying around him. I have to cut short these feelings yes! I have to, I definitely would.

I haven't dated or been with anyone before but I knew by an unknown experience that love, breaks people and totally destroys them mostly when they don't find it with the right people and since I'm not an expertise in the dating department, I wouldn't be able to know if he was the right one for me or just another of those male species trying to get into my pants.

If that's the case then I'm sorry for this dude, I'm very much going to disappoint him because even with his good looks and the way he manages to take my breath away, I won't allow him to pop my cherry. No, no, I won't let his fine face fool me and lure me into doing that when I've vowed to preserve it till I meet my rightful soulmate. Heck, do I even have one?

"Sorry," He muttered after turning to look at me. "I didn't mean to do that. Uhm there was something smeared there."

I touched my face, letting finger roam it to the part where he licked. I didn't feel any sticky thing, only that place was a little wet with his saliva. It must have been the coffee I was drinking, who knows. "Don't worry." I said, trying not to sound too flustered.

His eyes hovered over my face for sometime before they settled on the cup in my hand. His lips curled into a smile at the sight of the coffee, Michy snatched it from me unawares.

"Hey that's my cup!"

He ignored my protest as he sent drank from it. "Mnh, this tastes great!" He complimented after taking the cup away from his lips. "I know you definitely made this because.." he paused and looked around before he dropped his voice into a whisper, "between you and I Asabrewaa makes the worst coffee."

I rolled my eyes, shaking my head at him. "I'll fix you a cup, maybe then you'll give me mine back?"

He shook his head with a warm smile, I noticed that gleam in his eyes again. "I think you should fix that cup for yourself because this.." He raised the cup to our eyes level, "won't be returning back to you, drinking from the same cup as you makes the coffee even better." He said, his lips forming into a mischievous grin as he took another sip of the coffee. He made a face as if he was moaning afterwards, I know he did that irk me.

So I just rolled my eyes and shrugged like I didn't care, going to the gas cooker. But deep down I cared, yeah I did. I know this isn't much of a big deal but he is sharing a cup with me? Like we just kissed though not mouth to mouth, saliva is shared during kissing and we just did that so.....Why does it feel like we're in a relationship already?

I shrugged again, turning back to him with my new cup of coffee in hand. I realized he had been staring at me all that while and he didn't stop even when I looked at him in the eyes.

Michy drilled me with his eyes and every time I looked at him as I drank the tea, I kinda shivered because his stares kept intense and some what piercing, like he was trying to cut through me and see within me for a reason known to only him.

We both stood there, drinking from our cups and not saying anything while he kept stealing glances at me with those hazel eyes of his.

It was getting uncomfortable, not only his stares but his shirtless torso which I'm low key drooling over because it is my damn weakness so I drank the remaining coffee in one gulp and walked to the sink to wash my cup.

As if knowing I was going to leave any minutes, he came to the sink too but stood behind me and thankfully, maintained an appropriate space between. He put his cup in the sink before he rested his hands at the side of it with me stuck in between him and the sink. I was startled when I felt his lips brushed my ear that I dropped the cup in the process, it hit the sink with a clinking sound.

"Easy there princess, I'm not going to do anything." He whispered in my ears, brushing his lips on it again.

My breathing became ragged as if we had just pulled away from kissing senselessly, just his raspy voice and tingling touch from his lips rendered me in that state when he hasn't even kissed me yet.

Yet?

So I'm I really expecting a kiss from him?

Yes!

With the way things are going between us, it wouldn't take long before we swapped saliva. That tension and pull was there and I'm sure we both felt it given the way he suddenly behaves towards me, only, we both have managed to resist it but sooner than we expect, we won't be able to anymore.

I drew in a deep breath and blew it out as I prepared myself to face him.

But Michy was gone when I turned to him.

Michy's POV

I tossed and turned in bed, unable to stop thinking about today. I gave up trying to and sat up on bed before taking out the AirPods from my ear as my thoughts travelled back to the events of today. From that time in the kitchen and afterwards, they were still in my head vividly.

I remember coming back from the gym at home, as usual, I had woken up after having a rather explicit dream of Nae which frustrated me to the core. I decided then to go to the gym and cool off and while I'm at it, get fit too. I was done with it for that morning so I left but not straight to my room, I needed a glass of water to rehydrate me after all that exercise.

Going into the kitchen, I didn't expect anyone to be there at that time of the morning but I did meet someone that too, the very person who was the reason I woke up earlier than I intended to.

I must say she was looking quite sexy in that skimpy bathrobe she was wearing and I guess I was looking sexy as hell too. She couldn't take her eyes off me especially my chest when she saw me and I had to restrain myself from chuckling or worse, laughing because of how she was staring at me.

The girl was practically drooling and she got embarrassed after knowing I caught her, I was glad she was embarrassed, she was feeling what I felt when I woke up this morning with a bulge somewhere and an adult like me, wet my bed. It was so embarrassing, even for me.

As I stared at her too, I saw she had stained the side of her mouth with coffee. I could have used my thumb to wipe it but I used my lips, I wanted to get her flushing the more and in the end, I got excited. I loved how her velvety caramel skin that I fancied running fingers in tasted and I pulled away before things got messy like at the sink.

I had to pull away and I did but I couldn't stand there anymore when the dream came back to memory. I left before I spun her around and kissed the living day light out of her.

All through this day, I've been in my room. I didn't know how it was going to be like around us. Just like me, I know Nae has that pull I have towards her, only I'm not so sure.

Neither was I sure how she was going to relate with me. To prevent getting hurt by her distance from me, I rather kept to my room for the rest of the day and called Asabrewaa up to my room to serve me my share of dinner. I skipped lunch because somewhere along the line, I fell asleep and woke up at dusk.

A knock sounding on my door makes me drag my body out of bed but before I went to the door to check who it was, I went into my closet and rummaged through the tops section, pulling out a hoodie and got into it.

I was still shirtless after taking my bath and I didn't want what happened between Nae and I at the kitchen occur again even if she isn't the one at the door, though I wish it was.

It seems my invisible fairy godmother granted my wish, I opened the door and found Nae behind it.

That wasn't the only thing that made me happy, my heart warned seeing her holding a tray of food. She looked down at it then at me before looking past me into the room. "Uhm well can I come in?"

"Yeah, of course..come in." I said, feeling giddy with excitement. I opened it wider and helped her with tray as she stepped inside.

Nae walked over to the couch and set the tray on it then turned around with a cute smile on her face as she fiddled with her fingers. "These are for you, uh I didn't see you down during dinner and you didn't eat lunch too. I knew you'll be hungry so I brought these."

I looked past her at the food, vegetable salad with shrimps, boiled potatoes and sauce. It looked really yummy but I was full from eating the dinner Asabrewaa brought me and I can't refuse this as well knowing she thought of me and prepared it.

"Thank you." I said, pulling her in a for a hug and when I broke apart, I tenderly pressed my lips on her cheeks. "For thinking about me and preparing it. It really means a lot to me." I told her in all sincerity.

Her kind gesture did mean a lot to me and I was also relieved to see she wasn't being distant after our little 'party' in the kitchen this morning. I felt as if a heavy weight has been lifted off my chest as I thought about that, I wouldn't have been able to bear it if she was.

She gave me a wide smile and nodded before glancing at the food.

I also did as well, "I want you to eat with me." I said after looking at it and realized it was rather much for one. I still would have wanted her to eat with me even if it wasn't.

I looked over at her, waiting for her respond.

Nae met my gaze and beamed. "I'm not hungry but sure."

And that was how the day ended. Waking up from bed today after having a wet dream, I never imagined it was going to turn out like this, that the very person who gave me a boner was going to cook dinner for me, eat with me and feed me after I requested her to.

I wish everyday was going to be like this, Nae and I in my room at night, keeping each other company though I would want us to cuddle and kiss too, I have to make do with just sitting with her.

Our kissing and cuddle moments isn't up yet but I have a feeling it will very soon and truth be told, I can hardly wait.

Everyday without her beside me on my bed as I cracked jokes for her to laugh or waking up to her pretty face and tasting her is a pure torture that I'll find a way to end.
