"And it's a home run!"
Cory silently padded down the wooden hallway towards the living room where what she guessed was 'Sports Center' blared from the television. Her eyes were greeted with the sight of Jake's large body lazily spread across her plush floral patterned sofa. Cory quickly turned on the balls of her toes to change before letting Jake knew she was awake, but the creak of floor made him turn his head towards her. "Good morning Sleeping Beauty, how ya feeling?"
Cory consciously wrapped her arms around her waist. "G-good morning. I'm feeling okay, I guess? W-what about you?" She stuttered feeling exposed in the thin material of the coral baby doll that dipped low exposing the explosion of breast that her push bra created and reaching midthigh.
"I'm good, just watching the tube. Hey are you hungry? I was thinking we could go grab a bite."
"Yeah, I am. Umm I can actually make some breakfast for us; it's not a big deal. Plus to be honest I really don't feel like putting on going out." She said while rubbing her head slightly
Jake greeted her response with a smile, "Okay I'll help you, I can do a thing or two in the kitchen. " Jake stood up and Cory realized that he only his boxers on, she swallowed hard trying not to focus on the hard contours of his chest and the way tiny speckles of hair lined his muscular arms and his stomach leading to-. "So you ready to cook?" Jake's voice invaded her thoughts
"Umm yeah, of course, let's go." Clearing her throat, Cory led the way to kitchen. Jake's eyes followed the sway of her hips and as she began taking things out of the fridge he took a moment to examine her from her red painted toes to her curved backside. A pair of lacy crème colored boy shorts could be seen through the sheer material of the flimsy baby doll she wore. Jake licked his lips and leaned casually against the counter to enjoy what he hoped would be his breakfast. The image of Cory leaned over the counter as he traced kissed down her backside came to mind.
Cory knew she was hiding in the fridge, and decided it would look awkward if she just stood there and never brought anything out. Finally she collected butter, bacon, eggs, and milk from the fridge and laid them out on the counter space. Moving to the pantry she took out more ingredients and tried to focus on cooking; a task that usually relaxed her, but for some reason she couldn't focus, maybe it was the fact that she felt Jake's eyes boring into her. I know I'm not skinny, but am I seriously in that bad of shape, that he has to do that? I've been working out at HIS gym, geeze. It must be easy to be in great shape and feel like you can judge the "chubbies". Stop it, Cory you're being rude, even if it is in your mind and your mother raised you better than that. Just be a good hostess, fix him a nice breakfast and then he can go home. But he's so cute, damn. Cory's face played a series of emotions, before Jake finally stepped in.
"Okay what do you need me to do? " Jake deep voice was in her ear and Cory who dropped the egg she holding on the counter.
Cory jumped and turned to find Jake right behind her, the warmness of his body radiating heat on her slightly chilled skin. Cory brought up a hand over her chest to soothe the drumming of her heart. "I didn't mean to scare you." Jake took in her beautifully disheveled appearance, from her slowly rising chest, to the way the soft curls of her hair looked messy and sexy. Her makeup had smudged a bit giving her eyes a sensual appearance. Her hazel eyes seemed to see everything about him he'd ever want a woman to and show everything he'd wanted to see in a woman's eyes. Her skin glowed and he wanted to taste the sweetness of her lips.
"It's okay, why don't you got watch TV and I'll cook. It's the least I can do; you did take care of me last night. "
"Are you sure, I don't mind helping you, I actually would like to-"
"No, really I insist, please. Let me do this for you"
Jake looked at her once more, before turning and heading into the living room, as soon as she heard him head down the hall, she let out a long sigh. Cory, felt that she could finally focus. Lord that man makes me feel things I never thought I would.
An hour later, Cory went to let Jake know breakfast was ready, and Jake once again followed her to the dining room, surprised at what he saw. Before him was a feast of eggs, bacon, sausage, quiches, oatmeal, biscuits, waffles, apple fritters and grits? Corry saw the look on Jakes face and immediately felt a little self conscious. "I-I didn't know what you liked so I thought better safe than sorry. Sorry about that."
"No, don't be, thank you, this is really nice. "
The two sat down and ate exchanging questions and answers. The two found that they had more in common than they thought, such as their love for dogs and the outdoors. Cory learned that after years of being the 'fat kid' Jake got in shape and eventually opened his own gym. She also learned that he was very close to his family, and that he was a Native New Yorker and avid Yankees fan, the last fact made her crinkle her face in dislike, which Jake found both cute, and hilarious. Jake learned that after graduating from college Cory had decided to move from Georgia to New York to see if she could make it in the Big Apple, she and her mom talked everyday and her dad and she often went to football games when she was in town. The attraction felt by the two seemed to grow more as information was exchanged and Jake thought he was in love when he asked Cory where she had bought the biscuits and she had politely informed them that she had made them.
After eating, Cory rose to began clearing the table and was surprised when Jake held a hand motioning for her to sit before he began gathering the dishes and loading the dishwasher. Cory went to the kitchen to help and was told by Jake to go wait for him in the living room. When she hesitated Jake gave her a look, before swatting her on the behind. Cory slapped his hand before stalking off to the living room and chose to sit on the loveseat, because she knew it would put some distance between, because he would be forced to sit on the sofa. She didn't want to get her hopes up and throw herself at some guy who had no interest in her whatsoever.
Jake strolled into the living and looked over at Cory who was curled up on the loveseat; damn she's so beautiful he thought to himself. He was surprised to see that the channel was still on ESPN and that Cory actually looked as though she was interested. "So you watch a lot of sports?"
"Yeah, I do."
