Physical Therapy

(Roxy’s POV)

Getting lunch ready, which consisted of sandwiches and chips, was a hard task with Geno trying to kiss me and touch me. I finally got it ready and we sat down at the table to eat. It was silent for a while but I just thought of something I needed to share with Geno.

“Hey, are we going to tell people?” I asked him and bit into my sandwich

“What you mean?” he asked in between bites

“I mean are you going to tell the guys? The organization doesn’t really like people that work together to date.” I said

“Oh, I no tell if no want” he said putting his sandwich down and taking my hand. “I no want you in trouble”

I smiled at his sweetness “You are too sweet” I said and leaned over the table for a kiss. “I don’t think I will get in trouble just looked at differently, like that is why I wanted the job. I just think we should keep it to ourselves for a while.”

“I no tell” he said finishing his sandwich “We keep secret, till you ready”

“Thank you Geno” I said getting up to wash the dishes. As I was standing at the sink I felt his arms wrap around my waist and squeeze tight. He also kissed the side of my neck.

“Geno, we need to start painting if we want to get a room done today.” I said and turned around

“Ok, let go” he said pulling me into the living room.

“You mean let’s go. Put an ‘s’ on the end of let.”

He turned around “thank you, but what different?”

“When you say let go, it means don’t touch me and when you say let’s go, it means to go somewhere.” I explained

“Oh, I get it. Thank you for help, English no good.”

“Don’t say that, when did you get to America?”

“Um, 7 years” he said looking at me

“It is amazing that you can comprehend English let alone speak it” I told him “If I moved to Russia without knowing the language I would still be looking things up after 10 years.” I said laughing.

“I make deal, you teach English, I teach Russian” he said smiling and holding his hand out to shake.

“Deal, I would love to learn Russian” I said putting my hand in his to shake but he pulled me into his arms and kissed me deeply.

“Seal with kiss” he said pulling away smiling.

“I like those deals” I said getting out of his arms and going back to the paint “I will make you a deal, how about you do the top of the room and I will do the bottom?” I asked as I poured the paint into the pan.

“That good, I get high and you get low. I tall, you short” he said grabbing a roller and kissing my shoulder. I loved how sweet he was and the little things he did that made the butterflies appear in my stomach. Like kissing me on the shoulder, his goofy smiles, and his broken English.

It was quiet for about ten minutes the only sound was the paint being rolled onto the walls.

The Geno said “We go out for real?”

“What do you mean?” I asked from my spot on the floor.

I could tell he was thinking of the right words, so I waited patiently. “Will you go on date with me?” he asked slowly trying to get the words right.

“Like in public? I thought we were keeping it a secret? Not that I don’t want to go out with you, I just thought…” I stopped myself because I ramble when I’m nervous.

“No public, my place. Dinner, please?” he asked with the most adorable puppy eyes I have ever seen and his cute accent, how could I say no to that?

“Of course, I would love to go on a date with you Evgeni.” I told him standing up and walking over for a kiss. It was a quick kiss and then he pulled away.

“You call me Evgeni, why?” he asked

“I like your name, am I not allowed to call you that?” I asked joking

“You girlfriend, call me whatever you want” he said hugging me and I was frozen in shock on the outside but my insides were warm from the label. I guess he picked up on my frosty outside because he pulled away to look at my face. “Unless you no want to be girlfriend.” He said sadly looking away from me.

“No, of course I would I was just shocked. I would love to be your girlfriend Evgeni” I told him and was excited about this new news. We hugged again and it felt like I was a puzzle piece, fitting perfectly with his body. With a smile I pulled away and went back to painting.

(Geno’s POV)

When she said she would like to be my girlfriend I felt like I was flying. When we hugged she felt like a missing puzzle piece, she fit perfectly. I wonder if she noticed too. She smiled pulled away and we went back to painting. Around 5 we had most of the room done and I was getting hungry again.

“When sister get home?” I asked “We tell her?” wondering if that was okay.

“Um she should be home soon for dinner and we can tell her, I think she would get curious if we hung out a lot and were not dating.” He said still painting

“I’m hungry” I said putting down my roller and going to the couch to sit down.

“Me too, but we are almost done” she said as she walked over and sat next to me.

“Can finish later?” I asked as I put my arm around her and pulling her closer.

“Well what do you want to do now?” she asked looking around the room.

“Eat, but first” I said and took her chin in my hand and kissed her full pink lips. I couldn’t get enough of them; she kisses better than I imagined she would. I imagined it alot since that day we almost kissed. I traced my tongue across her bottom lip and she opened her mouth for me, she tasted better than I could ever imagine. Bending over was starting to hurt my neck so I picked her up and put her in my lap so she was straddling me. I was running my hands up and down her back, she was so soft and yet firm at the same time. It was heating up quickly and I was getting turned on more as I kissed down her neck and she made those sounds that drove me wild.

We were in our own world that is why we didn’t hear the door open up but we did hear the clearing of a throat. I don’t think I have moved that fast in a long time as I looked up at Sarah from the couch.

“Hey guys, what’s going on?” she asked and looked at us.

Before I had the chance to open my mouth Roxy was off of me and dragging her sister into another room. I heard whispers but couldn’t catch the entire conversation, I heard girlfriend, what are you doing, and be careful before Roxy came back out and smiled at me.

“Um, I think I want to talk to Sarah alone. Is that okay?” she asked me

“Yeah that fine, see you tomorrow?” I asked getting up and making my way to the door, not wanting to go.

“Definitely, see you tomorrow. I will call you later or something” she said as she opened the door. I leaned down for a kiss and said goodbye again. I really hoped that conversation would go good; I didn’t want Sarah to hate me. I grabbed some food and made my way back to my house.

After I ate I checked my voice mail to see that Kris had called when I was out and asked if I had made any progress with Roxy. I decided to text Roxy to ask her if I could tell Kris.

‘Hey, can I tell Kris?’ I wrote and a few minutes later I got a text back saying,

‘If he can keep the secret :)’ I smiled because I know Kris can keep a secret.

I decided to call Kris back as I waited for him to pick up I turned on the TV.

“Hello?” he said

“Hey, what up?” I asked

“Nothing just watching some TV before I go to bed” he said “You?”

“Same, I just got home from Roxy” I said smiling

“Oh? And?” he asked

“Can you keep secret?” I asked knowing the answer

“Of course” he told me

“We together, she girlfriend. But want no one to know.” I told him sternly

“Why? Is she ashamed of you?” he asked laughing

“No it for job, she no want people look at her different. Like dis why she got job.” I told him

“Oh I get it, she doesn’t want to be looked at like a puck bunny or a gold digger” he said

“Yeah, so you no tell?” I asked him

“I won’t tell anyone until you say it is okay” he told me

“Thanks man, I owe you” I told him “Well I tired, going to bed soon. See you tomorrow” I told him as I walked into my bath room to take a shower.

“Yeah, see you tomorrow for practice” he said “Bye”

“Bye” I told him and hung up, as I was getting into the shower I was wondering if Sarah was okay with me and Roxy together. I can only hope for the best.

(Roxy’s POV)

Geno had just left after I told him I wanted to talk to Sarah alone about us. I know he didn’t want to go but did anyway. I’m actually glad we stopped, not that I didn’t like it I did; we were just going too fast. I turned around to find Sarah standing there looking at me like I have lost my mind.

“What the hell was that?” she asked “I thought you were going to ignore him? I also thought he had a girlfriend?”

“Will you let me explain everything?” I asked sitting down on the couch, she nodded her head and I started telling her everything. I told her about the almost kiss, the club, the hotel room, this week waiting for him to make up his mind, the note, and about today.

“Wow” was all she said when I was done

“Yeah, so now we are dating and I really like him” I told her

“Yeah I saw that” she said smiling

“Hey, let’s not go down the walking in on each other road.” I told her smiling “Let’s see Josh, Steve, Tommy, do you want me to go on?”

“Well this officially started this morning, but we have been flirting for the past week.” I told her “He has told me I am not his rebound girl that is why I asked him to wait a week to make sure his feelings were real”

“Well there is not much I could do to stop you, as long as your happy.” She told me getting up and going to the kitchen to get dinner ready.

“Nope you can’t stop me but I give you full permission to kick his ass if he hurts me” I told her smiling while she was making dinner I decided to text Geno.

‘Hey’ I said

‘Hey how she take it?’ he asked

‘Good I guess, but I told her she can’t stop me but has the permission to kick your ass if you ever hurt me.’ I told him

‘I never hurt you on purpose’ he said,

‘I hope not or you would be in a world of pain’ I told him smiling

‘From Sarah?’ he asked

‘She would probably pay someone to hurt you rather than do it herself. Plus I would take you down’ I told him smiling

‘I won’t hurt you’ he said

‘What did Kris say?’ I asked

‘He happy we together, he also keep secret’ he said and I smiled

‘Thanks Geno’ I told him

‘Welcome’

‘Well I am going to eat dinner then get ready for bed. I will talk to you tomorrow’ I typed back to him as I walked to the kitchen.

‘Sweet dreams, see you tomorrow’ he said sweetly

‘Good night’ I typed back. After that I had dinner with Sarah, took a shower and got ready for bed. Tomorrow should be interesting with Geno and I being a couple and not telling anyone. I hope we can pull it off.
