FALLEN

CHAPTER 16 I go back over to the table he takes me by the hand and sits me on his lap. He gives me a little kiss. "So what’s the problem. Did you guys have plans today," he asked. "Not really. She was just letting me know she wants to go shopping today." "Ohh, shopping a woman’s favorite pastime." The phone rings again. "Let me get that," he says moving me out of the way. "You sit and eat." Hanging up the phone he makes me a proposition I can’t refuse. "That was my mom, I am going to go and have dinner at my parents house. So I tell you what we will finish our brunch. You will go shopping with Angie and we will see each other tonight sometime but for now how about we go for round two." I go over and dive on him. Boy, could he go. After that I was too tired to do anything. I just wanted to lay there in bask in the glory of finally making love with him. I start to get sleepy as we share pillow talk. I reach over on the night stand and take a peek at my watch, it’s 3:00. "Are you planning on going to your parents house sometime today," I ask. "If you would stop taking advantage of me I could," he says cuddling me and kissing my face. This is so great but I still can’t help but wonder if he’s sure this is where he wants to be. He said a lot of wonderful things last night. He never said he was sure. Maybe I should just be happy and not be so picky. I wouldn’t be able to take it if he breaks it off again. A slap would be the least of his worries. Just as I was drifting off to sleep he said "Okay let me get up before I fall asleep." There was absolutely nothing wrong with him saying that but he scared the hell out of me. Getting up I start getting dressed. Thinking about how much I really need a shower. "Sweetheart, I am about to hop in the shower," he says. "You take this, go shop, and I will call you when I get back," he says and place a soft kiss on my forehead. "Looking down into my hand I realize he’s given me his credit card. "Woo hoo," I think as I head for the door. I love shopping. The only thing I love more then shopping is, shopping with someone else’s money. Back in my room I had to get dressed and out of the door quickly. Angie had been waiting for me now for 5 hours and she was rushing me. We walked around the great city taking in all the sites and stopping at every shop along the way. Versace, Prada, D & G, Kenneth Cole and of course my favorite Donna Karen NY. I was like a kid in a candy store. I was going to have no money to buy anything in London. When we went into Louis Vuitton I wanted to buy a three piece luggage set but was reluctant because it cost 5000 dollars. I’m making six figures now, I can afford it. It’s the frugal side of me making me hesitant. Angie’s all for it. I have to give it some thought. We go over to the Coach store as I am buying a purse, a wallet, and more shoes. I decided to buy, you only live once. Besides how am I going to get all this stuff home.
