Perfectly Unexpected - Finished

Chapter Four - The Date

We talked about work and kept things light until we were several drinks in. It took us about an hour of drinking to loosen up and get to the good stuff.

“Enough about work, Kassie. We work all day, c'mon.” Sam said, the blush from the booze on his face highlighting his high cheekbones and striking green eyes. He was very handsome. The drinking was making it harder to keep in control of myself. I hadn't had s*x in two years and that was front and center in my mind.

“What do you suggest we talk about instead?” I said, lowering my voice in an attempt to be sexy. I bit my bottom lip. I hoped I wasn't failing at seducing him.

“Well. You said you don't commit, why?” He asked. I hadn't expected this question.

“Oh, I see, the serious stuff. I moved here two years ago because the guy I was dating since I was a teenager randomly dumped me after five years. It sucked, I was really heartbroken and I think the only reason I made it out of that tough time was because I was working and going to school, and Jasmine and Daniel.” I said.

“I'm sorry to hear that, sounds like a dumb bastard to me.” Sam said, knocking back the rest of his whiskey.

“I'll ask you a serious one.” I said.

“Go ahead.”

“Favorite color?” I said, smirking.

“Uhhh... blue. Don't dig so deep, you're killin me.” He laughed, grabbing his heart to be dramatic. We both laughed, I finished my drink. “Would you like to come home with me?”

“I'd like that very much.” I said. He called for an Uber on his phone and helped me down from my barstool before paying our tab and walking out.

We got in the Uber and I suddenly was feeling a little out of place. I felt like I had talked a big game in the bar, and now was feeling a little less than confident. We sat on the opposite sides of the backseat and were quiet.

As if he could read my mind, he made the first move. Thank God. He reached over to grab my hand and gently encouraged me closer to him. He placed his hand softly on my chin, pulling my face closer to him and placing a small kiss on my lips. I think it was an unspoken rule that we did not want to make a scene in front of our Uber driver, so we left it at that. He left a hand on my thigh for the drive home. My heart was beating out of my chest and sparks were flying through my body.

When we got to his house, he led me inside by the hand. His daughter was at her grandmas and his wife was also staying out for the night. The outside of his house was beautiful. A garage, a beautiful stone walk way and a lot of well-kept flowers. He unlocked the front door and it led into a beautiful living room. The entire house looked like it was straight out of a movie. He gave me a tour of the house. A large living room with a wall-mounted flat screen. A beautiful kitchen with all of the equipment you could ever dream of. A grand dining room. We went upstairs and he pointed to two closed doors.

“My daughters room, and that's my bedroom.” He said. I was confused when he continued leading me down the hall. “Bathrooms there, if you need it.” He said. “And, this is the guest bedroom. We'll be in here tonight out of respect for my wife.”

I nodded. He opened the door to the guest bedroom, which was as immaculate as the rest of the house. I froze a little as he began leading me towards the bed.

“Are you alright?” He asked.

“I haven't had s*x in a while. I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I've only had s*x with one person.” I said.

“Don't worry, I'll lead the way.” He said, pulling me by my waist in close to his body. We began kissing furiously, his tongue tracing my bottom lip. My whole body was on fire.

He took hold of my hips and began pushing me toward the bed without breaking our kiss. He guided me to a sitting position and I kicked off my heels. I laid back and he got on top of me. We were still kissing, and slowly pulling clothes off of each other. We got more and more handsy during our make out session, until I couldn't wait anymore. He was ready to enter me, giving me a quick look to confirm I was still okay.

It was the most amazing s*x I'd ever had. We eventually pulled apart, breathing heavily and smiling.

“I'm going to go clean up, can I get you a t-shirt to wear to sleep.” He asked.

“Yes, please.” I said.

We fell asleep cuddled up in bed.

I woke up and got dressed. I hadn't thought through spending the night and didn't have anything but my dress to wear home. I was going to quietly sneak out and call an Uber – I didn't know the proper protocol.

“You weren't even going to say anything?” Sam said, standing up and sliding pajama pants on.

“Sorry, I wasn't sure if I should.”

“I'll drive you home.” He said. We both finished getting dressed and started to head down stairs. When we heard the front door close, we both stopped on the stairs. I gave a panicked look and he waved it off.

“Honey, is that you?” Sam called out.

“Yes.” A woman called back, it must be his wife.

“Kassie is still here.” He said, placing a hand on my shoulder.

“Oh. Hi Kassie.” His wife called. She peeked around the corner, I gave a small, shy wave. This was awkward.

“Hi.” I said.

“I'm Shannon.” She said. “Don't worry, I knew you were coming.” 

“I'm going to drive her home, I'll be back shortly.” Sam said, we finished getting down the stairs and he gave her a quick kiss before we walked out the door to his car.

“Last night was amazing.” I eventually said to break the silence.

“I agree. I would very much like to do it again.”

The weekend came and went. We were texting and flirting all weekend. On Monday morning, he sent me a text to tell me how beautiful I looked and asked when he could see me again.

I was hesitant, but this felt good.

I was daydreaming about the next time we saw each other when Daniel and Jasmine walked into my office.

“My little sister is graduating in June.” She announced. “And going to college a few weeks after.”

“Someone thinks she needs six weeks off for it.” Daniel whined, rolling his eyes.

“My boss was very cool and approved it, especially since it's UNPAID.” She said, sticking her tongue out at him. “But what I'm really here for is... well, tell me everything?”

"Oh my god, shut the door." I hissed at her, and began recapping the weekend.
