Forgotten

Part 12

Nikki's POV:

I woke up with the morning sun streaming through the window, still wrapped in Lexi's arms.  She was still sound asleep.  I smiled as I remembered the intimate moment we had shared last night.   And yes, passion may have overtaken some of my senses last night, but I didn't regret anything we had done.  In fact, I was happy it had happened.  And I only hoped that she felt the same.

In fact, it had been a long time coming.  My feelings for Lexi had been increasingly growing over the last few weeks.  But I don't think I completely realized that until last night.  Up until now, I think I was confused.  Our paths had crossed as mere strangers.  She was in a desperate situation where she needed help.  And I was fortunate enough to have been in a position where I could provide that for her.  But soon we found that we were no longer strangers, and we became friends.  And once I had learned she she was older than I had thought, as she was about to turn 20 in a couple of months, my feelings towards began to change.  

I began to see her as a young woman, not much younger than myself.  And what a beautiful woman she was.  In fact, she was stunning.  She had a body to die for.  She was tall and thin, but curvy, just the way I liked.  And I found her dark blonde hair to be extremely attractive, as I secretly had a weakness for blondes.  And her clear, pale, ice blue eyes were, in my opinion, her best feature.  They were striking, such a rare, clear, solid blue, that I'd never seen before.  And they were mysterious, and held secrets beyond her years.  And I could easily get lost in them for hours.

And laying here with her, never felt so right.  In fact, everything felt right.  And I wanted to lay here with her forever.  Just like this.

But suddenly, she began to stir.  She yawned, then stretched her thin body.  Her eyes slowly opened.  Her eyes focused, and she looked at me and smiled.  And I immediately got lost in those deep blue pools.  God, she was beautiful.  Just so, so beautiful.

I smiled back.  "Hey you", I said softly, brushing a few lose strands of blonde hair out of her face.

"Morning", she said, in a raspy morning voice.

Then without being able to resist, I leaned in to her, and placed a soft kiss on her soft, full lips.

"Good morning", I whispered back.  "How did you sleep?", as my lips grazed her cheek.

"I slept  wonderfully.  Mostly because I was in your arms."  She smiled, and her eyes lit up, and she seemed to also be remembering the events of last night.  So, I took it as an opportunity to ask her about it. 

"Hey, by the way... are you Ok?  I mean.. about last night?  About the kiss?"

Without hesitation, she smiled.  "Yes.  Of course.  I... I liked it.  Very much.  I'm glad we did it."

A wave of relief washed over me.  Because Alexis was sensitive and could easily be overwhelmed and frightened.  And I always felt like I needed to go slow and take extreme care with her, but last night my desire, and quite frankly, lust, for her got the best of me.  But I was glad she was Ok with what had happened.

After that we decided to get up.  It was Saturday, so we had the day off.  And I wanted to make it special because I had something I wanted to ask her.

After breakfast, we sat at the kitchen table, drinking our morning coffee.  

"So, I thought maybe I could cook you dinner tonight, if you want", I said, trying to sound as casual as possible.

"Yeah sure.  I would love that."

I smiled.  "Ok.  Well, I'm going to go to the store real quick to get some stuff to make for dinner", I said, getting up.
