My Sleeping Beauty Mate

The official Date

Keda POV

I woke up the next morning in hopes of my date. I took a shower and picked out my outfit for the day while I ran errands. He said some people would be here around 9:00 or 9:30 A.M. When I got out of my shower, I couldn't help but look at my raggedy towel and my worn-out shower curtain. I felt uneasy about being spoiled because I wasn't one of those people who cared about money or being pampered. I had just finished getting around when I heard a knock on my door.

When I answered my door, I wasn't expecting to see my landlord. He smiled and handed me a letter. "Keda read this when you get a minute. It's about your rent and everything," said Charles. Oh.... ummm..... th....thank you...... I studdered. I closed my door and ripped open the letter he handed me. I sat down as I began to read the letter.

Dear Tenant,

If you are reading this letter it means several things. I am writing the letter to let you know that I have received your next 6 months' rent upfront. I thank you for paying that much even though you didn't have to. Your boyfriend wanted to make sure you were all good for rent. He asked about some of your other bills, but I couldn't help him there. Thank you for being a loyal tenant, and have a great rest of your day.

All I could do was breathe a deep sigh of relief that I wasn't getting evicted. It was the opposite. I hated that he did that, though. I was thankful, but now I felt I owed him. Just as I began putting things away, I heard another knock on my door. UuuHhhhhgggggg.......... What could he want now, I groaned. However, when I got to the door, that was not who it was. it was the people who were helping me pick out a new dress for the date, shoes, makeup, and Mani pedi spa deal today.

With rent being paid, I decided to since my other bills weren't due till the end of the month. I figured it would be OK till Thursday to take care of my bills. Thank goodness I had tomorrow off too. My boss was awesome and let me have weekends off. I would still work if they called me in, but with me working triples here lately, I felt exhausted. Even though I had a team coming over to help me get ready, I still wanted to sleep.

Luckily, when one of the ladies came she said I could sleep on the couch while they did my facial and manicure and pedicure. Thank goodness because I felt so tired. It was a good three hours because when I woke up Luka was already there. I could see the doubt in his eyes about us. I could see how hard he wanted to try though. I touched his hands and I told him I could see the doubt and that we didn't have to go out.

I knew the look of doubt and sorrow mixed together. I had seen it before when one of the girls lost her military fiancé, and she was 4 months pregnant. When she told their best friend who was serving with her fiancé, he stepped up to help with the baby, but she was hesitant only because she had just lost him. Now they have been married for 4 years and her husband finally finished adopting my friend's little girl that she had, just 6 months ago. He loved them both like they were their own. I knew he was going through what she did.

After seeing it over the years with enough people, you get to know the looks and the way the eyes say things. I was good at reading people, and I was hoping to go to be a teacher or a children's psychology. I was hoping to be able to go. I knew I would get some grants to help cover my schooling, but I wanted to make things better, so I didn't want to rely on anyone. Luka knew I would give him time, and I wasn't going to push anything. It was later that night, and he took me to a fancy restaurant, and I, for one, was hungry.

After dinner, we went back to my place. I couldn't help but get into to rush of the heat with him. I was still a virgin, so this was going to be my first time. I just hoped he would be gentle with me. As soon as we made it into the apartment, off came his jacket, and ,my shoes. When we made it to my bedroom, he slowly began to unzip my dress as he tenderly kissed my shoulder where the tattoo of my open book with a butterfly flying out of it was.

He turned me, slowly kissing me again. His calloused hands touched me gently. He slowly took off my dress, removing my bra slowly, as he kissed every inch of my body, making me gasp for air. He laid me down as he began to slowly kiss me down my body all the way down. When he reached the spot where my wet hot core, I could feel all the air come out of my lungs as I moaned and screamed from pleasure. After hours of pleasure and fun, we untangled ourselves from the blanket and cuddled up for the night.

When I woke up the next morning, he was gone. I couldn't believe he was gone, was I really that awful, or did he just hate me? I walked into the kitchen where he had a plate of breakfast made for me and a cup of coffee just how I liked it. I saw the note when I lifted my plate.

Dear Keda,

I am so sorry for leaving. I planned on surprising you with breakfast in bed this morning when I got an important call. Something happened to one of the houses on my property for one of my farm hands. My parents live in a separate house on my land to so they cover for me till I can get there. I had a great time and I hope to have more time with you. I also have something I need to tell you, but I want to wait till we are in person as I want to explain it all and make sure there are no miscommunications. I will come back tomorrow to see you and I will miss you until then.

Sencerly, Luka
