She let out a sigh, looking at me out the side of her eye. "You said you wanted this to happen naturally, but how does that even happen?"
"Believe me, please, it does, but you kind of have to trust me enough to actually touch me, and to let me touch you. It would help if you were being somewhat normal and not worrying your pretty little head. Put your trust in me and fucking relax because you're freaking me out."
Sophie burst out laughing. "I'm sorry." She giggled and threw the blanket off her, sitting up.
"Get over here," I said, holding out her glass of wine and adjusting so that she could sit up against me. She took the wine and edged her way closer.
An hour later things were more normal. Sophie was now curled up at my side, her head resting on my upper abs, her arm wrapped around my waist. My arm was resting around her waist and we lay lazily watching the ending ofThe Wedding Singer.
"You know, I give him props for the public proposal, but how the hell can you take a guy seriously without a ring?"
"What makes a public proposal so special?" I questioned, kissing the top of her head.
"Well, look at him. He is up there risking it all. In front of all those people, he risks the humiliation of her possibly saying no."
"Oh, Sophie, come on. It's totally predictable. I mean, if he thought she would say no, then he would never propose in front of everyone."
"No, I don't agree. I think it totally shows how confident he is and that he fully believes that she will say yes."
"I see. So, do you think that if he proposed in private he wouldn't be risking it all?"
She thought for a second and looked up at me. "I never said that."
"And the ring, what if he forgot it and packed it in his checked luggage?" I shrugged. "You know guys get nervous too and forget things."
Sophie let out a laugh and covered her face, and I took that opportunity to shimmy my body down a bit to lie beside her.
"That is exactly something you would say," Sophie mumbled behind her hands.
"What is?" I whispered as my one hand softly stroked her hair as the ending credits started to roll. It was silky and soft and smelled good, and I suddenly began to question why we had never decided to be friends with benefits. I mean, sure, she had put an end to my fantasy of dating her quickly when we were young, but we had never explored that aspect of our relationship. She looked up at me and grew serious while I stared into her eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" she mumbled, closing her eyes and resting her head on my chest.
I breathed in her scent and closed my eyes, debating asking her what had been on my mind for the last half an hour. I had run over the words in my mind repeatedly. I cleared my throat. "Why didn't we ever do this sooner?"
"Do what sooner?"
"Why were we never friends with benefits?" My cock instantly jumped at the idea.
Sophie lifted her head and looked me in the eyes and shrugged.
"I've always found you attractive, Sophie. I won't lie, and honestly, I don't think I've ever hid that from you either." I leaned in slowly and allowed my lips to graze over hers, my cock hardening instantly behind my zipper.
"Chase, I know who you are. It's not like it’s a state secret. You've been with so many women, and I never wanted to be one of many."
"That makes sense I guess," I said, brushing away the loose strand of hair that had again fallen into her eyes, "but if those are your reasons for why you and I never hooked up, then why did you choose me for this?"
Sophie let out a sigh and rested her hand on my chest and her chin on top of her hand. She was silent for a few moments, and then looked me in the eyes. "This is probably going to sound really stupid, but I know who you are. I also wanted this to be special for me, and I know how you treat women. I've watched you. No matter the state of your relationship, you’ve never treated one of them badly."
I slowly brought my lips to hers and kissed her softly. It was that moment that I decided I would do whatever it took to make sure that our time together was special for her. When our lips parted and she looked into my eyes, I placed my hand on her cheek and slowly brought my lips to hers again. I gripped her ass with my hand and ground myself into her so she could feel exactly how excited I was for this to begin.

Sophie
Ididn't think I would ever forget the look in his eyes when he placed his hand on my cheek and slowly brought his lips to mine. I would also never forget the first kiss that happened tonight; it was so soft and gentle, how he was nipping at my bottom lip as if he were unsure of himself, unsure of how I would react at my best friend kissing me. He lay beneath me and as we kissed, he gripped my ass, grinding into me so I could feel how hard he was for me. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hot for him, and if he slipped his hand in my pants, he would see just how true that was.
We now lay side by side, my head resting on his arm as we continued to kiss on the couch. He pulled me into his arms, squeezing part of my body and pulling me closer to him. My hands shook as I shyly began to explore his body. When my fingers touched the button of his jeans, he gripped my hand and placed it on the bulge behind his zipper and he let out a moan as I gripped him through his jeans.
