Opposites Attract

Chapter 5

I wake up so something soft being pressed lightly against my forehead. My eyes flutter open to see a scruffy jaw and long hair. Brian presses his lips to my forehead multiple times while making kissing noises. I giggle and pull Brian close to me, cuddling my face into the crook of his neck.

"Good morning gorgeous" he says. His morning voice is rough and sexy and I miss the feeling of his lips on me.

"Good morning handsome" I say with a smile. He scoots away and cups my face with his hands.

"I uh, didn't expect you to stay" he says nervously.

"Yeah. I'm sorry about that Brian I really didn't mean to, I just fell asleep and I thought maybe you would wake me up but you didn't and you fell asleep too and I'm sorry" I rant. I don't think he wanted me to stay, maybe he thinks we're moving to fast. My mind races and literally pole vaults to every fucking conclusion.

"Jens, it's okay. If I had a choice I would choose you laying next to me every night" his words are soft and comforting.

My cheeks turn pink, "really?" I ask.

He chuckles and pulls me close to him, "yes. Really. Are you hungry?" He asks.

I nod at him and he gets up making the couch feel empty. Well, besides his cat that curls up next to me. I scratch his head and he purrs.

"Does bacon and eggs with toast sound good to you?" Just the thought makes my mouth water. "Definitely" I reply.

"That's my girl" he says. His words repeat in my mind, 'my girl'. I am his and he is mine and that's how it's been all along. Brian and I were meant for each other.

Not long later Brian is bringing me a plate and is next to me again. He scans through the channels and ends up choosing animal planet. Thank god.

"Thank you Brian" I say.  Of course I want to thank him for breakfast but I want to thank him for so much more. For making me happy, for letting me stay over, for introducing himself to me, for coming in that bar that night, for constantly putting a smile on my face, and I want to thank him so much for saving me.

"You're welcome Jens, anything you ever want just tell me" he says. He then leans in and plants a gentle kiss on my cheek. "Anything in the world"

We enjoy our delicious breakfast as we watch prairie dogs build a little underground society. Brian keeps staring at me and I can't help but smile when I notice.

When we are done with our breakfast he sets our plates in the sink and plops down right next to me again.

"Jensen, will you stay with me again tonight?" He asks. I didn't even have to think about that answer, because that was exactly what I wanted. "Yes Brian" I say and he smiles a big cheeky smile.

He pulls me close to him and hugs me. "You're so perfect Jensen" he says. He then leans back a little and looks me in the eyes. He brings his hands to cup my face and continues to stare at me. And I stare back, his chocolate brown eyes make me want to melt.

And then I see it, those perfect eyes flicker to my lips for less than a second and I realize exactly what he wants. And I want it too.

We both lean in at the same time and our lips meet. It's a soft perfect kiss, his lips taste amazing and feel amazing against mine. They fit so perfectly it's meant to be.

He pulls back for a second and we both grin but soon later kiss again. This time it's longer and his lips work against mine. Fireworks explode and the perfect sensation rains over me.

We both pull away to catch our breathe. "That was amazing" he says. "Yeah" I whisper.

I didn't realize how much I needed that. How much we needed that. It seemed to fit the last piece of the puzzle together.

Sorry it's short but it's something 😍🤤😁
