Outside the Box (28 page)

“Yes.” She answered softly. 

“Yes to what?  Give me a little something to work with Lexi.  Do you actually love my brother?  Because I can’t honestly say that I’m a hundred percent sure he loves you, not since his ex-wife did what she did.”

“Yes to all of it, it’s so complicated Derrick.  I’ve been trying for days to figure out how this could happen.  I’ve tried to make excuses for myself, I tried to get my heart to believe that it wasn’t real love that it was just lust.  I can’t, I love him and it scares the hell out of me.  Derrick I don’t think the feelings you have for me are love, what you feel for me
is
lust, I love you too. (she held her hand up to keep me from interrupting her) I love you and care about you in a friendship but with Spencer it’s…well it’s, I can’t explain it.  I didn’t mean to hurt you, you have every right to hate me and call me whatever you want.”

“Lexi…” I tried to interrupt her.

“I feel so stupid, how the hell did I not put two a two together that you and him are brothers.  He was my professor for a week, last name Scott, same as yours.”

“Hey in your defense there are about eighteen other Scott’s at the campus we aren’t related to.” I told her.

“I’m so so sorry.” She kept apologizing.

“Lexi just shut up okay.  Listen to me, (I cupped her face in my hands) hearing you talk about lust and love really makes this a little easier.  I think, like you, the love I feel for you is more a
friendship love.  I did enjoy the times we spent together, you are an amazing woman, I don’t ever want to hear you call yourself a slut again because you are far from it.  I just hope that he doesn’t hurt you, if he breaks your heart I’m not going to be held accountable for my actions.  I’ve noticed a change in him, hell he’s even been talking to mom, so I think you’re good for him and he’s good for you.”

She sat there blinking at me, silence filled the room then she launched herself at me and hugged me.  “I don’t want you to hate me, promise you don’t.  Promise me we can still be friends, that things won’t be overly weird between us.”

I laughed and rubbed her back, “I can’t say it won’t be weird between us for a while but I’ll get over it.  I’m not giving that asshole my Sundays though.”

She pulled away from the hug, “I’m not sure he’ll take to kindly to what we use to do on Sundays.” She said and wrinkled her nose up.

I tapped the end of her nose, “The added bonus won’t be there but if he can’t handle us watching a movie together and us talking I’ll break more of his ribs.” I gave her a wink, then stood up and so did she. 

“I can’t believe that Josh knew and never told you or Spencer.  I think I know now what he was getting at that day he caught me at the fitness center.”

“Yeah, he should have been able to tell one of us.  I’m not mad at him, he was just doing his job.  He did say that he tried to tell Spencer but got interrupted.  Things will work out just promise you won’t change who you are.”

“Nope, what you see is what you get.” She smiled when she said it. 

“Okay, there my mind just went to the gutter, (I winked), I’ll go out and talk to him.  If his pussy ass wants to go to the hospital for those ribs make sure the driver hits every bump he can.”

“Now that’s just cruel.” She laughed. 

I shrugged a shoulder and laughed when she slapped my arm.  I hugged her again then walked out of the house.

“I’m fully capable of walking you know.” I told Spencer as he carried me, wrapped around him, up the massive granite staircase. 

“Mmm but I like feeling your heat against me.” He told me then opened his bedroom door. 

With me still wrapped around him he winced when he laid me down on the bed, “Spencer you shouldn’t have carried me, I
’ll probably hurt you worse.”

He covered my mouth with his ignoring what I had just said.  “I think something else is hurting worse, this little fucking bikini is coming off.” His hands grabbed the ties on each side of the bottoms and slowly he pulled the strings then lifted my hips and slid the fabric out from under me.  He picked my foot up, kissed the inside of my ankle and ran his finger down the middle of my foot
.  It should have tickled but his touch was so light it felt like he was using a feather against my skin as he continued to move his finger up the back of my leg.  With my foot resting on his shoulder he kissed up my leg but pulled back and started at my other ankle.  “I fucking love your goose bumps, I can practically feel your body humming with anticipation of what I’m going to do to you next.”

My eyes rolled back
and I closed them, when I felt the heat of his breath against my pussy.  He didn’t touch me though, his kissed above it then made his way up my stomach and to my chest, I arched my back so he could reach the ties on the back.  My skin was so hot and feverish but I couldn’t stop the goose bumps that covered me when he kissed my shoulder.  I tried to reach forward and take his board shorts off but he pushed his hips away from me. 

“Not yet, if you touch me now…you’ll think I’m a maniac because I want to be inside you so bad.”

“Please?” I whispered and closed my eyes when he rolled my nipples between his fingers. 

“I’m going to take my time with you Alexia, I want to kiss you, touch you, and make love to you.  I want you to feel my lips everywhere on yo
ur body when we aren’t together.  When you’re in school I want you to feel my lips here.” He slowly circled one of my hardened nipples with his tongue this put his lips around it.  “And here.” He moved to my other breast and did the same thing.  My blood was starting to tingle through my veins with each kiss, each nibble, each word. 

He kissed a trail down my stomach, circled my belly button with his tongue, “Watch what I do to you Alexia.  Watch how much your body needs me.” He told me.  I watched each sensual kiss as he moved lower then spread my legs with his broad shoulder and positioned his head between my thighs.  “I want you to feel my lips and my tongue here…” he spread my pussy lips apart and so slowly licked from my wet opening up to my clit.  “I want you to know that it’s always going to be my
lips, my kiss, my tongue…only me that can do this to your body.”  One of his flingers slid inside of me, then he pushed another inside.  “Grab the headboard baby.” He told me.  I wrapped my hands around the black wooden pillars of his headboard.  His fingers pumped in and out of me slowly but he pushed them deep each thrust back inside.  With his other hand he spread my lips apart, and circled my clit with the tip of his tongue.  He pulled his fingers out slid wetness down my crease to my rear entrance.  “I want this too, not yet though.” He said as he pressed against the taught hole.  My blood was now burning its way through me and straight to my core.  With his two fingers eased back inside of me, and his tongue flicking against my clit, he pushed his pinky against my rear hole.  “Relax.” He told me, “Trust me Alexia, you’re so fucking wet.”  When his pinky slid inside of me he started moving his hand faster but was careful not to make me uncomfortable. 

“Spencer, oh…I’m going to…”I was shaking from the orgasm that was setting my body on fire. 

“Cum for me Alexia.” Our eyes locked on each other’s and my orgasm blasted through my body.  He sucked on my clit causing my body to jerk with each contraction of my pussy muscles. 

My body was covered in thin layer of sweat as he moved back up my body until we were face to face.  “That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever watched.”  I pulled his face to mine and kissed h
im.  My juices covered his lips, mixed with his taste I couldn’t pull away.  He moved to the side and quickly took his shorts off.  I could feel the heat of his length against my thigh, when he rolled back on top of me didn’t move to push inside of me.  We laid there staring at each other, “I mean it Alexia, I love you.  You’ve got the power to break me, I’ll do anything I can to make you happy and make you realize we are meant to be together.”

“I love you.” I told him.  Then he pushed inside of me, while my body adjusted to his girth and length.  He grasped my hands and pressed them against the bed as our bodies moved together.  We took our time not moving fast, we were making love, sharing
our bodies, our hearts beating together, and our breaths caressing each other’s faces.  We never stopped staring into each other’s eyes, every whispered ‘I love you’ was followed by a soul assuring kiss that we would be together.  That I was his and he was mine.  His cock grew harder, he stilled, “I love you Alexia.” He said then kissed me as he cum inside of me. 

We laid there breathing heavy as our bodies come down from the high of our
climaxes. 

“You never did tell me what that perfume is you wear.” He smiled down at me. 

“It’s a secret.” I replied.

He rolled his eyes, “I know it’s a roll on of some kind, Peaches told me that much.  Quit being a smart ass.” He grinned.

“Ugg, fine, it’s Basic Instinct from Pure Romance.”

“I’m buying you an entire case of it, I’ve never smelled something so fucking amazing.”

“You want to know something else about me?”

“Yes.” He answered like he was waiting for the winning lottery numbers.

“I dip my French fries in ranch dressing and ketchup, it’s the only way I can eat them.  Or I’ll dip them in vanilla ice cream.”

“You’re fucking sick, who does that?” he asked with his eyebrows wrinkled.

“Have you ever tried it?”

“Hell no, I think that’s shit pregnant women do.”

“Well I’ve done it since I was about six years old.  So you’re wrong.”

“Fine, I’ll keep unlimited amounts of them in the house.  Hell will freeze over before I try it though.
  Let’s go shower.”

He pulled out of me, when I stood up he looked at the glistening line that was starting to seep out of me and down my inner thigh. 
He wiped it with his finger then pushed them inside of me, “I like it better in there.” He whispered sending chills over my body. 

“Who was that woman you were talking to earlier?  When you were glaring at me from across the pool?” I asked him.

“That was Peaches her real name is Patricia.” He smiled at me.

“Really?
  Why didn’t you have her come talk to me?”

He shrugged his shoulders, and led me to the bathroom so we could shower.

The shower took longer than normal because he couldn’t keep his hands off of me and I couldn’t stop touching his perfectly sculpted body.  When we finally got out it was after midnight, we were both tired, neither of us bothered getting dressed we climbed under the covers and laid down him spooning behind me.  One hand tucked under my pillow the other he held onto one of my breast rubbing the nipple against the soft palm of his hand. 

The following morning I woke up alone in his bed, I looked around the room, the walls were painted a pale grey color, his bed was a massive California kin
g sleigh style bed, the sheets were a deep maroon and the comforter had dark blues, greys, and red stripes on it.  I glanced at the clock and bolted from the bed when I read that I only had forty five minutes before class would be starting.  While I was in the shower I realized that I didn’t have a change of clothes with me, and I didn’t have time to go back to my apartment to get any.  I hurried out, dried off and wrapped the towel tightly around me I searched the room for my purse but couldn’t find it.  I walked out of his bedroom and down the stairs, when I reached the bottom step the smell of bacon hit me causing my mouth to start watering. 

“I’m glad you are so thoughtful to cook me breakfast but I need to get some clothes I’m going to be late for class.” I said as I rounded the corner.  I jumped and screamed when two
Spanish women that appeared in their mid-fifty’s turned around.

“You must be Alexia, I’m
Jocee this is my sister Victoria, Spencer didn’t want to wake you he said to tell you he was going to the warehouse to get you some clothes.  He should be returning any minute.  Sit eat.” She spoke with a thick accent.

“Uhmm.”
I looked down at my towel. 

She waved a hand, “You’re covered, ain’t nothing we don’t have ourselves, yours is just in better standing.  Gravity not your friend at our age dear.”

I laughed then sat down at the table, she put a plate with bacon and eggs on it, I was actually really hungry since my stomach was in knots the night before I hadn’t been able to eat.  Just as I finished my food Spencer walked in with two bags, “Peaches picked this stuff out of your room, if you are going to class you’d better change so I can get you there on time or Professor German will dock your grade.” He said while grinning at me and looking at my legs.  I took the bags from him, ran up the stairs and pulled out a pair of underwear, matching bra, capris, a tank top, and flip flops.  I twisted my hair up into a French twist then ran back downstairs.  Spencer was eating a piece of toast and stood when he seen me, “Ready?”

“You need to eat, I can have a driver take me…”

“Nope, I’m taking you.” He told Jocee and Victoria to have a good day and lead me out the door to a black Hummer H2. 

“Why Hummers?” I asked since Derrick drove one too.

“It was dad’s lame attempt to buy us back into his life.” He shrugged a shoulder and opened my door for me. 

On the drive to the school he didn’t say anything for a few miles, “Is everything okay?” I finally asked.

He looked over at me, grabbed my hand and kissed the top, “I want to know when you’re going to move in.  Obviously you and Derrick live in the same building so now I know where you live.  I just want to be with you every night, your schedule is so busy if you stay in the apartment I’ll only get to see you for a few hours during the week.”

“Spencer, I can’t just move in with you, that’s way too fast for me.” I whined.

He clenched his jaw, “No it’s not.”

“Are we really going to argue about it?  Cosmetology school only lasts a few more
weeks then I’ll have more free time.”

“We’ll have this discussion tonight, do you want to stay at my place or do you want me to stay with you at yours?” he asked.

“I’ll let you surprise me.” I smiled.  We arrived at the college, he got out of the vehicle and opened my door for me.  He pressed me against the side and kissed me passionately, “I’ll see you this evening after your night class.”

****

Over the following four months we would take turns spending nights at either his place or mine and Destiney’s apartment.  Frank had warmed up to him immediately, and Spencer warmed up to her.  I found him laying in my bed one night when I got home from school with her curled up on his chest while they both slept. 

Each Sunday he would try to talk me out of spending time with Derrick but that ended after only about a month when he started dating a lady he had met while out of town for a soccer tournament.  We all went out clubbing one night, while Derrick and Spencer were at the bar getting us drinks Amber moved around the booth so she could talk to me
without having to yell across the table.

“I’m glad I finally got to meet you Derrick is always talking about you, (she cleared her throat), he uh, he told me about everything that happened.  I just want you to know that
he really does care about you and values your friendship.  It was his idea to stop spending Sunday’s with you because he didn’t think it was fair to Spencer or me.” She laughed a quiet laugh at the end. 

“He’s really a great guy, you two seem to be happy.” I smiled at her.

“I like him, he’s very sweet.  I hope someday that I have a man that looks at me like Spencer looks at you.  That man is so in love with you, the way he’s always touching you and kissing you.” She covered her heart with her hands.  “I want that for myself.”

“Give Derrick time, he told me he’s scared that he’s going to get hurt…again.  Just take things at his pace and you’ll see he’s a genuinely nice guy.”

Amber and I talked on the phone almost every single day after that, if she didn’t call me or I didn’t call her we were texting each other.  She kept me updated on how things were going and so did Derrick since they lived six hours away.  She was going to be graduating and moving to New York so Derrick and her could have a closer relationship.  Every time they were together I could see the love that they shared for each other when they looked at each other. 

I was relieved to graduate from cosmetology school so I would have a little more free time to spend with Spencer in the evenings.  After having a long discussion with Peaches, that I later learned was actually Patricia, Destiney, and Amber one night over drinks they convinced me that I should go ahead and move in with him.
