Damn, he was good.

A fire was ignited in me that anything he wanted could and should have been his.When Chris finally pulled away, he said, “I want to kiss some other things too.Just need another night.”

“Sir, here you go.”The lady was back, Chris paid her, and we were off to his apartment without another peep from me.

The man hadme in his house and thought we should eat while watching television.I grabbed my food and made myself at home by sitting on the floor in front of the couch.After landing on the most ratchet television show I could find, I began to eat.Manners were out of the window at this point, but I didn’t know the type of man Chris was.He looked at me, the show and my food, then sat down with a beer for him, a wine cooler for me and began to eat.

“Yo, my favorite episode was when Cookie was trying to get Andre on her side against Luscious and Juliana.Then, Nessa kept talking shit and Cookie back handed her.That,” Chris said with a shake of his head, “was priceless.”

My head swiveled all the way around to look at this hippie in the bar, Chinese food stealing, handsome, can afford a modern, yet spacious apartment on the east side of Philadelphia, andEmpire-watching man.With all of the emotions of the day, how I got there, and how Chris had me breaking all the rules, I just burst into laughter.So much so that I started choking because saliva went down my wind pipe.

Chris quickly moved towards me, while laughing and patting my back.

“Here,” he gave me his beer.“Drink this.”

After getting myself together, I shake my head and said, “You do not watchEmpire!”

“Uh, yeah I do.”He raised an eyebrow.“It’s based off ofKing Learand theLion in the Winter.I like the modern and also Hip-Hop approach to the play.”

Well, I’ll be.

“What do you know aboutLion in the Winter?”I asked as I put my chop sticks in my rice box.

“Luscious is King Henry, the second.Cookie is Queen Eleanor.King Henry has three sons but…” Chris started to say but I cut him off.

“What do you do for a living again?”I asked as if he told me and I was trying to remember.

He looked at me with a slight smirk and said, “I’m a coder, and I work for Dan Field Technologies, but I never told you that because you never asked.”

If I was a tad bit lighter, the blush would have been visible on my face.Chris, I was learning, would call me out every time on my bullshit.He was quick, smart, funny, and very persuasive.More importantly, he was dangerous for me.

My head turned back towards my food, where I picked up my chop sticks and began to eat.I felt his eyes on me, but I kept ignoring him and pretended like I was watching the show.By the time it was over, our food was gone and Chris was throwing the containers away.When he returned, instead of sitting back down, he said, “I’m not sure about you but my butt hurts from sitting on the floor.”

“Yeah,” I nodded.“I have more cushion than you in that department.”

His eyebrows wagged, before he murmured, “Oh, I know.”

My head shook as I tried not to laugh at him.Chris sat on the couch and patted the spot next to him, motioning for me to join him.

“Come on,” he said.“Are you a G.O.T fan?”

“Who’s not a G.O.T.fan?”I asked him back.

Chris patted the seat again and held out his arm for me to take.

“Yeah, I knew I liked you.”He was still motioning for me to join him.“I’m telling you, I knew it.”

Instead of my usual, I just laughed at him but also stood, so I could sit on the couch.As I went to move, Chris swung his leg up, so it aligned with the back of the sofa and his other leg, remained on the floor.

“Okay.”I said.“Very inviting.”

“What can I say?I want a G.O.T.woman between my legs.We’re about to watch my favorite episode.”He flipped the channel to his DVR listings.“Come on, get comfortable.Tomorrow’s Sunday.No work.”

He was right but though my mind fought to leave, every other part of me felt like it was on autopilot as I did what the man asked.It resembled sort of a routine, but it was my very first time.

“Which episode is this?”I asked, but I didn’t really care because I loved Game of Thrones.

“The one when John Snow came back to life.”He answered.
