Chapter 25

The next morning Maya woke up to the sound of her alarm clock on the first beep. She showered and got dressed quickly. Ten minutes to nine and she was all ready and waiting. She even had her morning coffee. Apparently when she did not have to go to office she prepared herself pretty quickly. Sad realization, but true. At exactly nine o clock her doorbell rung and Maya could not help but wonder if he was already outside and was waiting for the clock to reach the precise time of their date. Because that kind of punctuality was just unreal.

“Goodmorning Maya” he said before bending and giving her a kiss on the lips, as if to remind her where they had left off the previous day at work. As if she could forget. The remembrance of that kiss lulled her to sleep the previous night.

“Goodmorning to you too Nicolas. Do you want to come in for some coffee?” she offered.

“No thanks you, I was wondering if you would like us to go and get some breakfast in a cafe I know near here. If you haven't had any already, of course.”

“No I only had coffee. We can go if you like, let me get my jacket” She took her clothes and her purse and they left. A few minutes later they were outside of the cafe. It was actually very close to her place but she had not noticed it before. As they entered the waitress saluted Nicolas.

“Well hello there stranger. Long time no see”

“I was out of the country Glenda. You now that if I am here you are feeding me the weekends.”

“You better. Or else no triple layer chocolate cake for you.” She winked at him. “Ahhh I see you brought a lady friend with you. Well it was about time you got something this sweet permanent to your life” she said as she seated them at a table. “What would you like sweety?” she asked Maya

Maya was looking them astound.

“A cup of coffee and some of that cake you mentioned please.”

“And she dares eat that many calories? You have a winner there sport, don't loose her.” Glenda said and left to go bring them their order

“So you come here often?”Maya said sarcastically to a laughing Nicolas.

“Yes I come here often. Glenda is a college friend of my mother's. They were roommates when they were studying but when they both got married they left for different towns. Glenda and her husband own this place and when I moved around here she self appointed herself my replacement mother. That explains her attitude.”

“So what was that about you not bringing any girl here. I am sure you date a lot. Some of them had to be serious. I mean it is our second date.”

Nicolas looked at her wide eyed and Maya realized how blunt she had been. She hadn't meant to say that out loud.

“Did I just say that? Let's pretend I did not speak my inner thoughts right now. Let's just enjoy our time together.” She was starting to panic now.

Nicolas did not answer for a couple of minutes. He then took her hand in his own and said.

“I want to tell you why I brought you here. You are special to me. I know that we don't know each other long but I have grown to care about you this past week much more than any other relationship I had over the years. You are kind, sincere, passionate about your job, you don't advertise your personal life, you don't use it for your gain, you like being independent, you value family and from what I have seen you have a healthy appetite and you eat everything. All that is how good you are on the inside. On the outside, you are so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Your body is just perfect. Full on the right places, lean and on the rest. And your face. Oh my god with all your delicate features, you are like a little fairy. My little fairy. You are a gift to me. And I am not giving you back.” He concluded hotly.

Maya was looking him open mouthed. She was not expecting that kind of a declaration from him. She knew she was falling fast for him but she never thought that he would return the sentiment. She did not know what to say. She was saved by Glenda that came bringing their order. Glenda sensed the tension between them and left without any further comments. Maya took her plate of chocolate cake in front of her and took a spoonful in her mouth. It was delicious and she groaned at the sear bliss it brought her. All that chocolate made her brain start working again, and she tried to say something to Nicolas that was waiting for her stoically, not even drinking his coffee.

“Look. I know that you mean what you said. I can see it in your eyes, and I would be a total hypocrite if I told you that I haven't developed feelings for you too. But everything is going too fast. Let's just slow down things a little bit and let this thing between us develop on a steady pace.”

“The ever rational Maya.” Nicolas shook his head “And the bad thing is that I adore that about you. Alright we will take this on your own pace. I am adamant on one thing though.”

“What?”

“This thing between us as you said. It is not a thing. It is a relationship. We are on relationship. An exclusive relationship. Do you agree with that?”

Maya blushed at his passionate response to her. She was not used to such devotion. Usually she was the one to ask exclusivity, and most of the time she was the only one keeping that deal.

“I agree. As long as exclusivity is granted for both parts.”

“Oh little fairy I don't intent to sleep with anyone but you.” He said with a smile that was both radiant and wicked, full of promises. Maya's insides got heated instantly and a burning ache started developing in her nether areas. She resumed eating her cake to destruct herself. It was so good that it managed to break her concentration from the gorgeous man siting opposite her.

“You like the cake?” Nicolas asked

“It is by far the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten. I need to congratulate Glenda for it.”

“I am glad you like it. I am glad that you are eating it for that matter.”

“Why wouldn't I eat it? It looks and tastes deliciously.”

Nicolas gave her a humorless laugh. “Most girls I have dated never ate sugar. The last one ate only vegetables and after a while she decided that I should not eat anything else either. She went to my place and dumped everything else. Imagine me returning late from work to find in my fridge only juice and vegetables. I mean she even threw away my beers.” he said looking scandalized. Maya could not help but laugh. She thought that she would feel pretty weird about him talking about his ex girlfriends, but he made it sound do funny that she relaxed even more.

“So it is not that you did not want to bring any of them here. You just did not want them to insult Glenda's cake” she teased

“I never felt the need to bring any girl I dated here, until now, until you.” he said adamantly. After that he switched the conversation to more carefree subjects.

They left the cafe and drove to the mall. There they went in and out of a dozen shops. Apparently Nicolas wanted to totally renew his wardrobe and he wanted her to approve each and every one of the things he bought. He was holding her hand every time they were not in a shop and could feel his warmth to invade her body. After he was satisfied with what he bought, he took her for lunch in a cozy restaurant that was situated next to the mall. They talked while eating and she felt more close to him by the minute. After they finished lunch, he told her he had one more stop to make and he took her to a jewelry shop. There he chose a beautiful ring for her. One that was intended for her middle finger. Maya had a huge quarrel with him inside the shop but in the end he got his way and bought it for her. He explained to her that not only she deserved that and much more, but that he wanted to see everyday something of his in her.

Afterwards he took her home for her to get ready for the opera. When he went back to get her he was speechless by her beauty. It was going to be very difficult for him to take it slow with her when she was so mouthwatering gorgeous. They both enjoyed themselves at the opera. It was a secret passion of his and he was glad that he could share it with her. The more time they spend together, they both felt the bond between them strengthen.

After the opera he took her home and escorted her to the apartment door. She unlocked it and turn around facing him.

“I know I said that we are going to take it slow so I am not going to ask you to invite me in. But I am not leaving here without my goodnight kiss.” He told her right before he crushed his lips to hers. The kiss was so passionate Maya was surprised they did not set the hallway on fire. They kissed for a long time and finally Nicolas was the one who reluctantly ended the kiss, turned around and left. If he stayed one second longer he would break his promise and take her straight to bed.

Maya closed the door behind her and went to her room sure that in her state of arousal she would not be able to sleep for some time.

“Me and my big mouth. Why did I have to make him promise to take things slow.” She huffed right before she went to bed.
