ALEX'S    P.O.V. 💜

  { Continued... }

Back to reality now....!

   Did I really hear the right thing??? Ok calm down he might just be kidding! I'm pulled out of the ongoing havoc in my head with Dan's voice...

"Oh! I'm sorry if it's causing you trouble, you don't have to say yes Lexie... And about not knowing each other, you can ask me whatever you want to and I'll try my best to give you all the answers, you don't have to worry much about yourself though you can tell me about yourself whenever you're ready...." He says in one go without breaking the eye contact that I'm managing to keep for what feels like an eternity!
He takes a deep breath and exhales audibly...

"God! I became impatient... If I knew you'd get so nervous, I wouldn't have asked... Can we just scrap that part out?" he asks with nervous chuckles and stands up reaching out his hand for me to hold on, which I do accept.

"Let's go back, Pup might be missing you already!" He sighs helping me out of the couch...

"Dan!" I call out, without thinking, when he is about to take us out of the gardens....He leans down a little to meet my eyes...and I cannot help but stare into his light green eyes which have a certain glow to them when a thought crosses my mind...

'Even though this seems like a mirage in the dry lands that I have been traveling for ages, I still want to risk running towards it, bare feet, even though it might result in my feet burning with the scorching heat... Atleast I'd be happy I tried...'

Without any further thoughts, I pull him closer and tiptoe to meet our lips!

He is startled at first but soon takes the lead, probably pitying my sloppy attempt, kissing me back deeply. One of his long arms lacing around my lower back and the other at the back of my head as if supporting my trembling figure...I pull away gasping for air, but he cups my face, one hand still on my waist pulling me closer so much that all his heat seems to be warming... No actually burning me at present...he  smashes his lips on mine again and  sucks on my lower lip which makes me moan,

"uhhhnmm".....

Wait!!

'Wtf! Did that sound just come out of me??' my thoughts are interrupted by Dan's tongue exploring my mouth which he had slipped in unnoticed....muffling my moans, he plays with my tongue skillfully and when it becomes difficult to breathe, he pulls away...

I'm officially ice and just have melted with all the heat and overwhelming feelings...
My hands have gone limp and are hanging by my sides and, I'm feeling lightheaded with the lack of oxygen.
Of course, this is my first-ever kiss! And I have absolutely no regrets with the way it turned out!

'Wish I was a goldfish since a set of gills could really help me latch my lips longer to this hottie! ' my Devil pouted...

'For heaven's sake! Stop you little fries in there' I groan...

I'm still in a daze when Dan looks at my face with amusement in his eyes.

"You might want to close that cute lil mouth of yours, Babe, coz I might just end up doing more right here!" He chuckles.

I immediately come back to my senses... As all the blood rushed from my groin back to my head... Yeah, I'm sure I am looking as good as a tomato right now! Well, whatever...

"You ready to go Lexie??" Dan asks taking my hands in his. I nod and we finally head toward the exit....

Before opening the door he suddenly turns back and pecks my lips, then my forehead.

"Thank you! For trusting me even if it's just a tiny bit, I'll try my best to be good enough...." He trails and turns back around to open the door while I am glowing red (if that colour even exists) on my face.

I used to gag whenever people gave nicknames to each other like Baby, Boo, and stuff...
They seemed to be so fake and superficial...
I had witnessed one of the nurses being all chummy calling each one of the 5 people she was dating (at the same time!) with the same cheesy nickname...

But even so, it made me smile like a fool when Dan called me "Babe"..... I might seriously flow into a river with my melted self if he keeps calling me that again!
He already makes 'Lexie' sound all sensual with his deep sexy voice.

 
'Sorry Chocopie' I mentally slap myself for the thought process when Jan's face pops up in my head...

We are back to his apartment or rather a luxurious suite I must say bcoz I can't seem to be getting adjusted to this suite-looking apartment... Before entering I had tried to slip my hand away from Dan's... But it only results in him gripping it tighter and pulling me closer to him... As soon as we enter we hear tiny footsteps running in our direction and we are greeted with a cute angry lil Honeybun....

"Lexie is Jan's friend, Dadda can call Uncle Jeff if he wants to play!" he says pouting cutely. 

Dan smiles at the lil fuming bun and picks him up apologizing to him at the same time... He whispers something in his Pup's ear which I couldn't hear...

'Well might be a son-father thing' I think to myself and shrug it off.

Jan starts to giggle after hearing whatever the little secret is...and I give out a breath of relief since I didn't like him looking like that because of me.
Thankfully he isn't pouting anymore, although he looked even cuter with that pout... Dan placed him down and held one of his hands, my Honybear held my hand with his other tiny one and started swaying them giggling with joy.

"Movie time!" Dan suddenly declares excitedly.

"Movie! Movie... Movieee" Jan repeats bouncing up and down.

God they are hella adorable!!!

..................(⁠ ⁠˶⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ꁞ⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠˶⁠ ⁠)

    We are seated on the couch after having dinner. Hearing all the chaos earlier, Arthur had walked up to us and had refused to let the son and father duo to have dinner on the couch while watching a movie. Dan gave up the argument and walked to the dining room looking all defeated. He sure is dramatic sometimes! Arthur had already carried Jan away to the dining and was helping him with his favourite food. No wonder this little Meatball gave up without putting up much fight with Arthur!

The food was delicious just like the first time. We had finished our dinner peacefully and then headed to the living room. It's my first time looking around the house properly... Since the first time, I had fear clouding my thought process. 

In the living room, there's an entire wall full of baby picture frames of my Chocopie....Dan is holding him in some while playing with him in others... Arthur is also seen holding baby Jan in his arms but it seemed like someone had clicked the pictures without his knowledge.... Which has made them natural and super sweet with Arthur's genuine smile.

Beside the wall full of pictures is another wall holding a huge flat screen with a home theatre which I guess we'll be watching our movie on. Jan who was sitting in between Dan and me comes crawling like a baby near me fishing his puppy eyes and I realise he wants to be held... I complied with the silent request and held him in my lap while laying his head on my chest since his eyes looked sleepy but my Babybear was trying his best to watch the movie "Moana" playing on the screen.

"Hey..." Dan's whispering voice falls over my ears and my attention shifts from Jan to his Dadda.

"Hey Babe...Would you like to stay the night here? If that's okay with you?" Dan asks me lacing his arm around my shoulder as he continues his whisper-yelling over the movie voices.

When did this guy reach this close to me???

Jan hears him anyway or rather his Dadda deliberately spoke aloud wanting him to hear! Chubs sits up with his round tired eyes rubbing them with his cute lil hands and looks at me expectantly.....

"Lexie, stay....please.." he says trying to keep his eyes open while fighting with his sleep...

My heart might just explode at the cuteness overloaded! However the offer seems tempting since I might finally get to lay on a proper bed or have a proper shower, I don't want to be a burden or cause any sort of problems...

"You don't have to think much Baby, it's already getting late so it's better to spend the night here. I'll drop you off at your workplace when I send Pup to his kindergarten in the morning." Dan reasons my ongoing internal conflicts...

Since it's just for the night, and I do want to stay a bit longer, I reluctantly end up accepting his offer.

*****

Arthur and I had informed him about the morning events while having dinner. He was sad at first but then felt relieved since Arthur and I were there with Jan. He also thanked me a couple of times, which just caused me to blush since he was doing it with more and more love, kissing the back of my hands every time.

'Forget the hand kisses, just smack those lips here Daddy!' my inner Devil demanded...

 
And I might have teeny-tiny bit agreed with it ~ cough ~cough...

"Let's get you to bed Chocopie" I whisper to the Chubby butt in my arms. He had dozed off, but only after confirming that I was staying back. Even Dan looks sleepy by now.... Maybe he is tired with all the work, plus he had to look after my crying ass instead of resting. So, I offer to tuck Jan into his bed which Dan accepts happily and directs me to his Pup's room which I have some idea about from my first visit.

I placed Jan on his bed which was kinda huge for a five-year-old... but guess that prevented him from falling. The thought of leaving him just like that still has me unconvinced, so I start placing pillows around him. He suddenly jerks and sits up, his eyes still closed but he's swaying back and forth in his sleep. I quickly get on the bed and put him back to sleep... He tries to snuggle closer to me, so I just lay down with him stroking his fluffy hair, which results in him leaning more into my chest clutching my shirt with his tiny hand.... his breathing becomes steady, however, I stay still, looking at his adorable sleeping face, fearing that my Honeybun might wake up if I move.... The bed is soft like it is made up of feathers while the blankets are big enough for both of us, it's so warm and comfortable that soon my eyes start feeling heavy and I end up dozing off myself...
