Part V: Dreams
The television droned out the sounds of Eddie and Cari making out on his bed. That evening they had decided to 'Netflix and chill' and were doing well in accomplishing both goals. Eddie was wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top while Cari donned his Hurricanes hockey sweater and nothing else.
She looked good in it. The sweater practically swallowed her small size but she managed to look sexy and be comfortable. Eddie had noticed she preferred to wear it so much during the cold months, that he had to get himself another one just to wear to watch the games.
On his bed, their attention was one each other. Cari could feel him getting aroused under her. She slid off his shorts and helped remove his tank top. Eddie looked at her. There, she sat straddling him wearing the white hockey sweater; her bare legs holding onto him. He watched as Cari raised up and took a hold of his cock. She guided it to her wet and wanting pussy. Once inside, Cari began riding him in a slow and deliberate manner.
She closed her eyes as she felt him inside of her. They had been doing this for nearly a year and she believed each time after was better than the last. Also, there was the sense of security she felt with Eddie. He was always there for her. To her, he was her world and she felt the time had come to take the next step in their relationship.
Cari placed her hands on his chest as she continued riding him. Then, she removed the sweater and got off Eddie to lay on the bed. He climbed on top of her and entered her gently. He looked at her beautiful face as he thrust himself inside of her. Cari looked at him and placed a hand on the side of his face. He looked at her, deep into her bright, blue eyes.
"I love you," she said.
Eddie didn't respond. He felt himself releasing deep inside of her. Cari let out a moan as she felt herself reaching her orgasm as well. The two stayed in that position for a couple of minutes before Eddie kissed her and rolled off to the side. He held her close as they watched the movie they had started.
Cari looked up at him. "Do you love me?" she asked.
Eddie looked ahead, like he was thinking about his answer. He knew what he felt in his heart about her but he knew what that would mean moving forward.
"Cari, I care about you a lot. I just don't know if I am ready for a committed relationship," he said.
She looked away from him and focused on the television. She was thinking about what he had just said. For her, the time of having a fuck-buddy had passed. She wanted something more. She got up and began getting dressed.
"Where are you going, babe?" Eddie asked.
"I need to think," she replied. "I do love you, but I want a real relationship that doesn't involve us just sleeping with each other."
She finished getting dressed and collected her things. "I'll call you later," she said before heading out.
Eddie heard the door close and considered going after her. He understood where she was coming from but, both had different expectations as to where they wanted the relationship to go. He reached for his phone and thought about texting her. After looking at the screen for several minutes, he decided against it. He figured she would reach out to him sometime tomorrow.
The next couple of days went by uneventfully. Eddie was busy with work and while he had the occasional distraction of an office intern to pull him away from his thoughts, he was curious as to why Cari had not called or texted him. After he put his phone down, Lesly came over to his cubical.
"Hey, Eddie," she said warmly.
Eddie looked up to acknowledge the greeting. Lesly was a young 21-year old intern who was in the office two days a week. The rest of the time she was studying at the nearby university. Pretty and petite, Lesly was Latina with jet black hair, big brown eyes, full lips and a bright smile. She appeared to have perky little breasts and a nice little ass that were always defined by the outfits she wore. Today was no different.
"Do you want to do lunch?" she asked.
He was hungry but, he wasn't sure if he wanted to be in the company of others. This included the pretty little thing asking him out.
Lesly picked up on his apprehension. "It's alright. We'll go and grab something. Then, we can come back," she said.
"Okay," Eddie said as he put on his jacket.
Lesly beamed her bright smile again. "Great! I know a place not far from here that has the best sandwiches," she said.
The two walked down the street to the corner diner. It wasn't too far a walk and despite not wanting to go out, Eddie was enjoying the newfound company. As they walked, Lesly began talking to him.
"So, how come you don't have a girlfriend?" she asked.
Eddie shrugged. He knew the answer but, a long drawn out explanation was not what he wanted right now. Instead, he kept his answer short and to the point.
"I'm not ready for one," he said.
Lesly looked at him admiringly. She found herself attracted to him but, she was uncertain about being more involved with him due to the large gap in their respective ages. Still, she was curious as to why a good looking guy who seemed to be on top of everything didn't have a significant other.
"Well, maybe that's a good thing," she said with a devious smile.
They made it to the diner and decided to eat in. Eddie ordered a BLT while Lesly ordered the turkey club. The two sat in the booth talking about a variety of subjects but, Lesly could sense something was bothering Eddie. She knew he wouldn't open up but, she figured maybe she could take his mind off things.
Eddie had just finished his food when he felt Lesly's foot rub up against the inside of his left leg. He looked at her but, she maintained the same look on her face while her foot began to explore higher up on his leg and inside his lap.
It was then that it became obvious as Lesly had to slide down a bit to get her foot to rub up against Eddie's cock. She just smiled.
"What are you doing?" Eddie asked.
