It Was Impossible Not To Fall In Love

Chapter Ten

I wake up and find 10 missed calls from my family and a message from Anita telling me she's no longer coming cause husband's work came through so she doesn't want to come with the kids cause they will leave my house sad. I understand even though I was also looking forward to seeing her. I call her and tell her it okay and also call Junior. It's 10 am, Wow I am such a sleepy head but again I was drinking yesterday. I make the bed and head to the show...... Oh yeah!! I am not in my house so no bathing things but at least there's also a balcony so I go stand there for a few minutes. A knock comes through

"Come in." I shout still standing at the balcony.

"Good morning sleepy head, I bought you these and also you can change to this" Travis says handing a plastic from clicks and grey shorts and white T-shirt. They are his. Eeeer!!

"Thank you."

I can't believe that this guy actually pays attention to things we normally talk about. There was a time he asked me what soap I was using to bath with cause I don't use cologne often because of my skin problems. He bought me the exact soap I told him I use, dove and toothpaste. There are other essentials like a toothbrush and bath towels, a set of three. I mean I'm speechless. Anyway I take the things and go to bath.

I am fresh but I didn't use a roll-on and I have no panties. The clothes fit me nicely for staying indoors and they have his fading cologne scent on them. I fold my clothes and put them on top of the bed. I'll look for plastic to throw them in.

I walk down the stairs to the kitchen and it smells divine. Wait!! Travis knows how to cook? He is in an apron, he was wearing a hoodie then, now he is in his black vest that shows his masculinity and grey sweatpants. Sexy!!!!! Get your mind off the gutter Talitha, my gut voice. But he is sexy!! Yeah and you are now drooling.

"They always say a picture lasts longer" Travis says swaying to the sink with a bowl. s**t!!! Was I really drooling? I need to listen to my inner voice more

"Get out of here" I say. He laughs

"Come eat. What time do you have to leave for your sister" he asks as he settles on the chair

"She cancelled...on me. I'll leave after eating" I say in between yawning

"You can stay till late then" He says. Is he asking or telling me??

"Umm I'd love to but I didn't use roll on and also my...," I stop as I realise I was about to say my underwear is dirty.

"Your what" He gives me the other look I can't decipher.

"Umhhm never mind I just need a change of clothes" I say. What better way is there to say it??

"Are mine not comfortable?" He asks.

"No they are just that....i-need-some-underwear" I say hastily and he looks at me with eyes wide opened

"Don't tell me you are wearing my shorts without that" He says with a smirk. What's there to smirk about.

"No I am wearing the dirty one love" I say sarcastically. He chuckles

"Okay finish up so that I can take you back. My poor pants" He says, looking down at me as I am sitting next to him.

"get lost. It's not like you wear them with an underwear" I say and he gasps

"What did I spill the beans?" I ask with my hand on my mouth. He laughs, like really laugh.

"You are stupid" He says standing up to the sink. I laugh at him

Wait. Where is Ariana because it's Saturday. Can she be asleep till this time?? I decide to ask Travis and he says she went for a sleepover over to Brian's daughter. Wait, Brian has a kid??? Okay I'm going to pretend as though I didn't hear that. After eating I do dishes even though he said no. I am not sitting at the lounge waiting for him to take me back to my place. He comes down wearing a grey T-shirt. Talitha you are starring again, the reprimanding voice.

"I know the look when someone undresses me" he says. Damn me.

"Uhmm...come on let's go" I say. I was actually undressing him and now I feel wet.

We get to my place and this fool is following me. Eeeh was he not dropping me?

"I am going to get bored at my house" He says. Maybe he read my look.

"Whatever love.." I say unlocking the burglar door and he smiles.

We get in and he sits and turns on the tv. Comfortable much huh. I walk to my bedroom to wear an underwear and change the trousers. He will get his clothes after I wash them. I settle for my plain summer dress. I walk back

"I've concluded that you don't like my clothes" He says as I sit on the other couch

"Not even hey. I was without roll on and..." I say. I seriously can't watch soccer. Maybe I should cook. My phone rings

"How much do you want and on which account". He laughs.

"Do I only call when I need money" he asks. Yes!!!!

"The last time I received your call was three weeks back and when I call you your phone is not going through" I say. I know my baby brother well

"It was exams and so I didn't want destruction" He says. I laugh a little

"Okay. How are you"

"I am good and how are you" he asks

"I am good. How were exams" I ask standing up. I am going to cook

"I can't complain. When are you coming home" He asks. Wow I must be missed.

"I don't know. Why don't you come to my place" I ask

"I'll come Wednesday then" He says. So he called just to checkup on me. People really do grow up

"May you please send me 500" He says. I laugh. Wow who was I fooling by people changing.

"What are you doing with it" I ask. The next thing I'll be sending money to buy drugs

"My girlfriend is....Uhm I want to use it" He says stuttering

Okay. How is it his problem that the girlfriend needs money. He will have to talk before I send the money. I move up the kitchen gathering what I'll be using to cook. I am making butter chicken and rice with naan bread.

"I am listening and don't lie" I say

"Eiish sis I messed up" Still the stuttering. What has he done. This child

"Talk Trevor" I say.

"Please don't tell dad as yet or the siblings" He says. He sounds so scared. I keep quite. He must talk

"I impregnated a girl sis" He says hastily.

"What?!!. What did you just say" I ask. It even made Travis turn to look at me

Wow. Trevor!!! How am I even supposed to keep such big news to my dad. This child my god. He tells me about the girl and that he is using the money to take her for scan. I stand with my hands on the counter. My dad is going to go crazy.

"You good there" Travis asks

"Yeah am good" I lie. My whole mood changed. I send him the money nonetheless.

I honestly can't keep this away from my dad because the moment he knows I knew he is going to be angry with me. Next week I am going home with the brat. He must be the one to break the news. I continue cooking. Travis is comfortable like it's his place. Unbothered! I take the food to the lounge

"Thank you. It looks appetising" He says as I give him the food

"I don't disappoint" I say going back to the kitchen. I pull the bar stool to sit

"You are not sitting with me?" he asks. Not when he is watching soccer

"You are watching soccer" I shrug

"Come will watch what you want to " He says

I move to the lounge. I don't even know what I want to watch. I make him choose and he decides on an action movie The Losers. I first take the dishes back and come sit down on the other couch. I need a throw.

"Where are you going" Travis asks. I am not Ariana

"To fetch a throw" . I come back from my bedroom and lie on the couch. He starts the movie. It's kinda nice.

"I like the guy who shoots" I state. He is cute and very quiet. He does his job with no talking like the rest.

"He's a sniper" He says.I didn't need clarification.

I wake up with Travis staring at me. Weren't we watching a movie?? Damn I slept. Okay this guy's stare is uncomfortable.

"So much farting" He says with a smirk. s**t! Was I?

"You are lying" I say

"You were even lifting your leg to let it come out nicely" He says with a look that says 'disgusting'. OMG!!!

"Umhh.....I am sorry" I say. I am so embarrassed. Silence feels the room. Then Zweli laughs. Like really laugh

"I am joking, you should see yourself right now". He says, containing his laugh. f**k you. My inner voice.

"You are such a nuisance" I say. He chuckles.

Why hasn't he left? I mean we got here at 12 something and now it's to six. Let me not even ask cause it will sound like I am chasing him away. If this guy has a girlfriend then she doesn't get all the time she deserves. I leave to the loo and come back. He is standing on his feet. Good he is leaving. Damn why am I horny. Cause you f*****g staring and undressing him. The voice. Travis clears his throat

"You want some?" He asks. The f**k!!!! I ignore him

"I was gonna lay it down to you". He says with a smirk. I laugh.

"Are you leaving?" I ask

"Yeah" He says.

Okay it's cool but even though I need company. I am going to get bored or I'll just watch some movies. Why am I sulking? I've always been staying alone.

My phone rings. It's Anita. Another person I can't keep secret from. Trevor really pushed me to the corner. She greets and asks about how I am and if me and Travis aren't fighting anymore. I roll my eyes. Travis saw that. I just answer with 'no' cause the culprit is here. I decide to make her day by telling her that he is with me. I put her on loud speaker.

"OMG my man is there. Kiss him for me" She says. She's crazy on the last part.

"Or you can come get it your self" he says with his deep voice that I didn't know existed.

"Like the f**k Litha, you put me on speaker I'm gonna get you for that" She says and hang up. I laugh a little. Travis looking at me. Honestly this stares has to stop.

"What" I ask

"Your sister's kiss" He says with a smirk. He's crazy

"You are crazy" I say. He gives me a look.

"She said you must give me kisses for her and you didn't say no" He says.

"Because you and her are crazy" I say.

"Okay I am going to kiss you cause I want to kiss her but I can't" He takes a step closer to me. Why is my body failing me. Please move for me.

Too late!! I am already on his hands. The other hand is cupping my side cheek while the other is on my waist. He's looking deep into my eyes and my breathing is on another level.

"Or do you want to tell her that you won't kiss me" he asks. Why is he doing this to me. I shake my head. Can my mind and body cooperate. I was gonna say "Yes" but no my body needs the kiss I guess.

He smashes his lips on mine. His breath smells so good like grip water. s**t I am kissing him back. It gets heated I start touching him. My hands runs up his T-shirt and he groans a little when I touch his body.
