“Can you make me dinner tonight?”
Robin asks immediately we arrive in his house.
That question baffles me because I've never cooked the rich people's food. I only eat them in restaurants.
“Mm...aa.. I don't know how to... ”
“No problem dear. I'll teach you.” He cuts me short, coming to my rescue. “The cook is taking a leave this weekend so the kitchen will be all yours.”
He adds, grinning from ear to ear. His smile is quite intoxicating.
Ahhh! I'm quite relieved!
The house is as cool as I left it last time. The fan is on and the cold air hits my head making me feel at home. It's quite an intriguing feeling.
True to Robin's words, the cook is not around except for the maid who's busy doing some laundry. I make myself comfortable on the cosy leather couch as Robin rushes upstairs then comes downstairs moments later with a laptop. He informs me that he needs to do some work online therefore I should make myself comfortable. I nod in understanding and I pick the remote, scrolling through the channels for a suitable programme.

“Honey...” Someone is tapping my shoulder. “Don't tell me you slept!”
I open my eyes with difficult. I didn't realise I had fallen asleep on the couch.
I smile as I blink my eyes to adjust to the light in the living room. It's already at night and the lights are fully on.
“Sorry I slept...” I mumble.
Robin giggles. He doesn't seem to be bothered by my abrupt slumber.
His cologne hits my nostrils and I'm tempted to inhale it loudly. He seems to have just stepped out of the shower because he's clad in a t-shirt and a short. He looks breathtakingly cute.
“It seems we aren't eating home cooked dinner.” He says. “But don't worry, I've ordered some pizza for dinner.”
Ahhhw. So caring and understanding.
I yawn and stretch in the most unladylike manner while rubbing my eyes.
“Thank you for understanding me.” I murmur as I muffle a yawn. “Again, I'm so sorry I slept off.”
“You must be tired. Lemmie show you to the bathroom to freshen up before the delivery guy arrives.”
We've already discussed about spending the weekend at his house therefore I follow him upstairs to his bedroom.
As we ascend the colourful staircase, I can't help but smile within myself, marveling at how luck I am for finding a great guy such as Robin.
To say I'm shocked will be an understatement. I'm flabbergasted! I'm beyond myself with shock when I get a glimpse of his vast bedroom.
There's a large bed standing at the centre of the huge room, well spread and an intoxicating smell coming from within. A side table is set next to the wardrobe with all sorts of books and reading materials and I'm surprised because Robin didn't mention being a lover of books. What am I even saying? He hasn't told me that much about him either!
He helps me sit on the bed amid my surprise and walks to the closet where he retrieves a crispy white towel and hands it over to me.
I'm still awed by the magnificence of the room. I can't stop admiring everything.
“This is your home darling. You can as well shift as soon as you're ready.”
Wow! Just wow!
“Thanks Robin.” I say politely. I've not started calling him sweet pet names...not just yet!
After giving me the towel, Robin heads outside, closing the bedroom door behind him.. I know it's my cue to strip naked. I do the necessary and I throw my clothes in the laundry basket. I turn and walk to the bathroom. I turn on the faucet and I let the calming warm water to cascade down my head towards my back.
Ahhw! What an intoxicating feeling...I can stay under this water forever!
I can't help but fantasise about Robin and I being one big family with our own kids. Wow!
He'd make a kick-ass dad and I on the other side would learn a few things from him and maybe become the best mum in the world.
That thought of having kids gives and raising them up as one great and loving family gives me goosebumps. I've never been committed before but for sure, I'll give this one a try. Robin seems promising...
I'm so much engrossed into thoughts such that I don't hear him calling out my name.
“Tammy... Are you there?”
I rinse my body quickly and I wrap the towel securely around my body then walk out giggling like a teenager.
Loh! I'm all wide mouthed as I get a glimpse of his bare chest. He's facing the bathroom door after getting rid of his t-shirt. He's picking another one from the bed and I gulp in loudly.
What a sight?
“Here are your clothes. Change into them after you're done ogling at me!”
Oh no! Shame on me.
Blushing, I turn and walk towards the bed where there's a clean pair of sweatpants all beckoning me to change into them.
I'm still shy and I don't have the courage to change in his presence therefore I turn to check him out once more. He has already covered his tantalising abs with another t-shirt and he's already on his way out. Thank God he has made it easier for me.
I can't keep the thought of living with him under the same roof all my life, trailing my fingers across his well outlined abs...or better still, resting my head into his broad chest...as he holds me from my back, caressing it and smoothing my hair with his fingers. Oh my!
I quickly slip on the sweat shirt and the pants then after checking myself in the mirror, I step out and walk down the stairs towards the living room. I'm just wishing and praying that all those thoughts I'm having aren't just but wishful thinking.
Robin is already seated on the dining table, a large package of pizza placed in front of him and some plates, forks, knives, glasses plus a packet of juice. I'm already gulping in as I covet the mouth watering snack.
Oh! This life is becoming sweet oh! Isn't this the kind of life I've been praying for?
