Persuasive
A one night stand is prolonged by a persistent partner.
Keith:
Fuck he was persuasive... I don't even really remember how he did it, but he fucking did. He had me in bed faster than anything i've experienced. And now he's motionless, lifeless almost. His arms wrapped tightly around my waist as he sleeps. He went from 0 to 60 and back to 0 in no time at all. I decide to let him sleep, I don't have anything planned for today, so I might as well just lie here. He looks kinda cute like that, just dead asleep, eyes shut tight. Now I really can't wake him up... He's still purring, and I can feel it as much as I can hear it. I love the sound, it may not be music, but It's my favorite sound. I slowly extend my arm to my nightstand, as not to wake him. I grab my phone and unlock it, might as well entertain myself while I wait for him to wake up on his own. Or I can take a picture... Yeah, that's a good one. I close the camera app and open my texts, reading through the pile of things from my friends, who i'm happy to say still keep in touch with me. I spend a couple of minutes going through and replying to most of them, and then I open my blog. I spend another half hour on that, just posting things I haven't gotten to. I put my phone in front of me and lie my head back down. If I were to look at myself from above, i'd be sure I was staring at a picture, neither of us moved the slightest bit. I stay like this for another couple of minutes before reading some articles on my phone, anything to pass the time.
Cole:
I wake up to a face full of soft fur, and regain my bearings in a moment, leaving a small smirk on my face. I move my thumb side to side in a little arc on his stomach and he responds instantly, his tail tip flickering about at the end of his bed. I yawn and nuzzle my nose into the back of his neck, he responds with a little twitch and quiet huff. I smile for a moment and then frown, remembering i'm not going to spend the night again. Too many bad experiences like that. I'm not sure when to tell him, but now is not the time. He's happy and i'd like for him to be, as long as I can give him. I pull him a little bit closer to me and relish the warmth of his back on my stomach. I'm sure he enjoys it as well, since he's purring. Well, purring faintly, but purring nonetheless. He turns his muzzle to face the ceiling, not moving his neck.
"So, you have any plans today?"
I lift my muzzle to his ear and whisper to him.
"Not that I remember..."
He nods and lies his head back down, I follow, my nose up against his neck. He and I stay like that for a little while, the only thing to be heard is our purring. Until he speaks up again.
"So, you wanna go out for dinner again tonight?"
I frown, not really any way I can get around it now. I sigh and frown. There's no real way to sweeten the pill.
"I... I don't plan on staying."
"But, why not?"
His disappointment is almost tangible and I now is when I regret all the other times I have done this to guys.
"I'm not one to stay. It's just not my thing. It's nothing to do with you, you're wonderful."
He sighs and nods, but he's not gonna take that as an answer.
"But why are you 'not one to stay'?"
I frown again and formulate my response, he deserves one different than the one I give other guys.
"I've had bad experiences with relationships. I don't want to end up disliking you."
"Well, would you be willing to give a second chance?"
I shrug and close my eyes.
"I just, I'm not sure I want a relationship. It usually ends up with me trying to make someone happy, when all that makes them happy is sex..."
He sighs again and nods, I hope he understands.
"Can I persuade you, i'm not that kinda guy."
I take a moment to think, If i'm going to ever give it another chance, he's my best bet.
"Hmm, i'll think about it. But I wouldn't for most people."
He turns to lie on his back, and turns his head to me. I look at him and he's giving me the puppy dog eyes. It's accentuated by the tear mark characteristic of cheetahs. I roll my eyes and he cuts the act, opting to kiss me instead. I was a bit surprised at first, but gave in and kissed him back, a little blush emerging from under his golden fur. I chuckle when he breaks the kiss and look back into his eyes. If he's trying to get me to say 'Yes', he's doing a hell of a job. Because I can't bear to see him any other way.
"Alright alright. I'll give it a second chance."
He smiles and kisses me again, his eyes bright and dazzling. He looks amazing, but I really could care more about his personality, which I like. He was pretty funny when I was talking to him last night. I probably would've liked him just as much if he was not as nice looking. But dressed in that tight shirt and less so jeans, I had to at least spend the night. And now I have to spend a few more at least. 1 week and then i'll decide if I want to be in a relationship again. I'm not sure how to feel about him. If he's like this all the time, well i'd marry him. But people aren't that simple, sadly.
Keith:
I feel nice and warm inside when he says he'll give me a chance. I've been in a couple of relationships, and i'm normally not the one to end it, or cause problems. And i'll try to be a great partner for him, i'm upset he's had bad enough relationships that he's inclined to not want them at all. I elicit a genuine smile and lick his muzzle. He chuckles and kisses me in return. I'm excited that he's staying and we might as well make plans for dinner, my treat.
"So, back to the earlier question. Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?"
He shrugs and nods a second later.
"Hmm, sure."
~I'll definitely make another short story about their date and stuff, but I wanted to get this uploaded on Jan 1 2015, a new story to bring in the new year! I guess, maybe it's silly.~
