My phone started buzzing again, and once more, I ignored it. She leaned forward and cupped my face in her hands, gently directing me to take my gaze off her chest and look into her eyes. When I looked up at her, she softly smiled at me, pressed her forehead to mine, and said, "This has been a long time coming, hasn't it?" "You too?" asked. Then I leaned forward to plant little kisses along the expanse between her neck and shoulder. reached up and slipped a bra strap down just enough to give me unobstructed access to continue my exploration. She giggled and pressed her full lips to my ear, running them across the sensitive skin as she whispered, "You couldn't tell?" I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her tight against me once more as I lightly ground myself against her crotch with a hard-on so intense that it was in a little bit of pain. "I've wanted you for a while now." "Marcus," she said, "What-" My phone started buzzing again and Natalie cut whatever she had been ready to say short, looking down the general direction of my phone. "Do you think you should get that?" "No," I replied. No. God no. Under no circumstances did I need to answer the damn phone. I didn't care if all my money had been placed in a warehouse and set on fire. Right now, I didn't give a shit. "Are you sure? Isn't that like, the third or fourth time?" I let out of snart of frustration and fished for the phone from my pocket, keeping my eyes locked on her. When I finally pulled it out and looked to see who was calling, I was surprised. It was Phoebe, my neighbor. She never called me, so the worst scenarios possible came to mind. I looked back at Natalie and said, "I have to take this, but I'll make it quick, but don't you dare move!" She laughed, "I'm not going anywhere', Marcus." I smiled back at her and answered the phone. "Hey Phoebe. What's up?" "Hey Marcus. You're not home, are you?" "No. I'm at work. Why?" "Because I think someone broke into your house," Phoebe replied, sounding upset. "Your door is open. I didn't go in there, but I peeked. Your apartment looks pretty trashed." "What?" I sat up straight on the couch and tapped Natalie's thigh. She immediately slipped off of me with a concerned expression. "Yeah. I thought I heard you being pretty loud in there about an hour ago. I didn't think too much about it, but when finally looked out, your door was open, and it just didn't feel right." "Did you see anyone?" I stood up and started idly fastening the buttons on my shirt. Natalie sat on the couch watching me, and I felt a pang of regret for putting clothes back on. At that moment, part of me was tempted to not care about the state of my apartment in exchange for more time with her. "No," Phoebe replied. "But I thought I heard someone in the hallway after things quieted down. I thought i heard someone talking on the phone. That's when I looked out the door and saw yours open. I didn't see whoever was on the phone though." "Have you called the police?" I said, half my buttons done on my shirt. At that question, Natalie's face transformed from disappointed confusion to full concern. "No. I didn't want to call the police without talking to you first," Phoebe said. "Okay, thanks," said, "Could you go ahead and call them for me? I'm on my way." "Sure," she said. "See you soon." "Wait," I said before she had a chance to hang up. "Did you see Jack?" I hadn't seen my cat since I left the house yesterday, and the thought of something happening to him before I got a chance to see him again caused my stomach to tighten. "He was under your bed, Phoebe said, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "I brought him back here to the apartment. Nate's playing with him. I don't think I can keep him long though. Jim hates cats." "Thank you!" I said. "I'll be there as soon as I can!" I said and ended the call. "Natalie, I'm so sorry." said. "I have to go. Someone broke into my apartment." "Oh damn," she said, adjusting the sleeveless top she'd just slipped back on. "What happened? Do you need me to go with you?" I wanted her to go with me, if for no other reason because it was Natalie, and I enjoyed her presence, but she also had things to do. I shook my head, "No. Thank you. That means a lot, but you need to stay here and finish getting set up and be a boss." She nodded. "Okay, well give me a call when you can. Keep me updated." "I will" I took a moment to look at her and she stared back, offering me a small smile. She was obviously as disappointed as I was. "I'm sorry our time was cut short. I wanted more," I said, reaching out with one hand to brush her cheek. She looked at me with heat in her eyes. "I did too." "What is this?" asked, searching her face and trying to bum her beautiful features in my brain as if they weren't already there. "I don't know," she said. "What do you want it to be?" "Something." I said, not knowing what that meant. I just didn't want to scare her off with words like 'relationship'. Natalie reached up and cupped my face in both her hands and offered me a sweet kiss. After just a few short moments, she pulled back just enough to look me in the eyes. "I can work with 'something." She let my face go. "You just got dumped a few days ago, my friend. My relationship ended a month ago. I'm still a little fresh, but you're just raw. Let's just take our time and see what happens." That sounded like a horrible idea, but I didn't voice the thought. However, I must have telegraphed it pretty hard because Natalie's face took on a look of concern. "I'm interested in more, Marcus," she followed up. "I just want to be a little careful about getting into another relationship with anyone right this second. Especially with you. I don't want you to just be a fling." I smiled at that, my heart warming as her words took most of the sting from me. "Yeah. I don't want that either."
