Simply Amazing

She ain't perfect, but she's worth it
Every breath I breathe, for the life of me
And I know I might not deserve it
But she loves me, and it's simply amazing- Simply Amazing by Trey Songz

 By the time Jake arrived back at my apartment to pick me up, I convinced myself everything would be fine. I already spoke to my brother. Trevor was going to be there. Jake said he was going to be cool. Trevor didn't know any better, so as long as I kept our conversations PG, nothing would go wrong. And if it did, I knew I all I had to do was run interference to keep things from getting weird. Or awkward. Or hostile.

I dressed casually in jeans and a long sleeved 49ERS shirt. I didn't put on any make-up and just pulled my hair back into a simple ponytail. I grabbed the chili I made and we headed over to my brother's apartment.

When we got there, Cam let us in.

"Hey Bro!" I said, smiling, giving him a hug. He looked ready for the game wearing a Frank Gore Jersey and 49ers cap.

"Hey sis, Jake, come in." Cam said, letting us in.

Jake and Cam shook hands and I said I quick hello to everyone, including Trevor and headed to the kitchen. Jenna and another woman were in the kitchen. I set down the pot and greeted Jenna warmly.

"Lily! How is everything?" Jenna smiled at me, giving me a hug.

"Good, how are you?"  I asked her.

"Just good? A new boyfriend and it's just good?" Jenna questioned.

"Amazing, I mean." I smiled.

"Better. This is my friend Emily." Jenna introduced us.

"Nice to meet you."

"Lily, are you gonna make Jake a plate?" Cam asked me as he joined us in the kitchen.

"Um, did something happen to his arms and leg since I've been in the kitchen?" I asked, sarcastically.

"You're such a brat." Cam told me, grabbing beers.

I stuck my tongue out at him as he left for the living room. I went ahead and made Jake a plate.

Jake smiled at me when I handed him his plate.

"Thanks Cariño." Jake said, gratefully.

"You're very welcome."

"I'll take mine next." Trevor grinned at me.

"Nope. You know where the kitchen is. Help yourself." I told him, heading back into the kitchen. Trevor got up and joined me. We made our plates together.

"So... I noticed you deleted our Facebook conversation." Trevor pointed out.

"Nothing gets by you." I said, simply. Hoping he would get the hint.

"Let me guess. The boyfriend made you?" He asked.

"No one makes me do anything." I snapped at him.

"OK. I'm just saying. He's dressing you now, dictating how you act, monitoring your Facebook... Sounds a little 50 shades of fucked up to me. I'm concerned." Trevor said.

I stopped making my plate and looked at him. "Don't be. If he ever adds a red room to his apartment, then be concerned. For him, not for me. And don't quote that book. It's embarrassing you even know it." I said, before continuing to make my plate.

Trevor laughed at me. "So are we gonna go see it next year?"

"It comes out on Valentine's day. So no, I will be with my boyfriend." I said, finishing my plate. "And besides, I refuse to support that nonsense."

"Bootlegged?" Trevor asked me as I walked out.

"If you can get it," I answered, before joining Jake on the couch with my plate.

"Is that all you're eating?" Cam asked me. I got very little of everything.

I nodded. "I'm watching what I eat before our Vegas trip. We're going for Jake's birthday." I explained.

"You don't need to diet. You look fine." Jake told me.

"Thanks, but my itinerary for Vegas includes drinking, eating and no working out. I gotta balance it out by eating better now." I explained.

"No more all about that bass?" Trevor asked me. Jake remained calm. I smiled at him.

"Nope. That song is officially played out." I answered.

----------------------

The rest of the game was drama free. The only disagreement was when we got into a discussion about all the domestic violence going on in the NFL. Cam thought the new punishment by Roger Goodell suspending Ray Rice indefinitely was too harsh. I agreed, but I felt like the original punishment of 2 games was so pathetic they had to cover their ass. Jenna felt like the first video tape was enough to suspend him for life.

"Why did America need to see the actual footage inside the elevator to understand the severity?" Jenna questioned.

"Because this is America. Innocent until proven guilty." Trevor replied.

"Oh come on Trevor. Why would he be dragging her outside an elevator?" Jenna asked him.

"At first they said she had too much to drink." Trevor shrugged.

"Considering your wingman is patron, I know you've had your fair share of dealing with drunk women." I started. Cam and Trevor laughed at that. "So you know her walking in, perfectly fine and falling unconscious is very unlikely." I finished.

"I know that. I'm just saying from the NFL side of it, why not believe him? Considering this is the first time anything has ever happened with him." Trevor said.

"Even if they didn't see the tape, he was indicted. Meaning a jury thought there was enough evidence to think aggravated assault occurred. No doubt in my mind, they knew that a tape existed when he was suspended for 2 games. Whether they saw it or not, they knew. Like Lily said, the NFL is just covering its ass now." Jake responded.

No one could argue with that. I beamed at Jake.

"Baby, I'm shocked. You sounded like a lawyer or something." I grinned at him.

"Why would you be shocked? He has a degree in criminal justice." Cam said.

I looked at Cam, then Jake. He looked really uncomfortable. "I didn't know that." I said.

"How did you know that?" Jake asked my brother.

Cam smirked. "Think I would let you around my little sister without checking you out first?"

"Cam, that's so creepy. What's wrong with you?" I exclaimed.

Everyone laughed.

I turned to Jake. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I'm not like you. When we met, you were like 'Hi, I'm Lily. I'm a doctor'" Jake answered.

I smiled. "Did not, but that's not the point. You let me compare you to Observe and Report when you have a criminal justice degree!"

Trevor laughed. "I loved that movie."

"Doesn't mean I wanna be a lawyer." Jake shrugged.

"Lawyers don't carry guns. That's so much sexier." I grinned.

"T.M.I." Cam declared.

"Oh, look who's talking Mr. Background check." Jenna said.

Everyone laughed at Cam.

The 49ERS lost to Chicago in the second half of the game. Jake drove us to my apartment afterwards. On the drive, I got a text from an unknown number.

Unknown: How did y'all let Jay Cutler come back and beat ya?

I called the number back. No anonymous asshole was going to talk shit about my 9ERS. Especially after a close loss.

"Hello?"

I took me a minute, but I recognized the voice.

"Blake? How the hell did you get my number? And OMG, Shut up. I didn't hear shit from you last week when the 49ERS crushed the cowboys! At home!" I exclaimed.

Blake laughed. "Forrest, and you didn't come to the party last week."

"Yeah, cause I didn't wanna rub it in." I laughed.

"Sure..."

We got off the phone after that. I saved his number in my phone.

"Who was that?" Jake asked.

"Remember that Blake kid we played corn hole with? Forrest's friend." I said.

"How did he get your number?" Jake asked.

"Apparently Forrest." I said.

"Why would he think it's cool to give out your number to random guys?"

"Guy. He's not random. We talked at the game watching party. He knows about you. We just trash each other teams." I explained.

Jake nodded. We got to my townhome and went up to my room. After a quickie, Jake got up to leave.

"I have to be at work early." He informed me. I nodded and got up to walk him out.



This past week has been hectic. With Derek, Steven and Christy being gone, we felt disconnected. And without new therapists, we were under staffed. I stayed late all week taking on new patients while still dealing with mine. Most nights I came home, made dinner, talked to Jake and climbed into bed. I woke up early to get a work out in, so by the time I got home, I was exhausted.

Jake told me he wanted to see me on Wednesday, but I told him Thursday would be better. Thankfully, it was my short day. So I would get off at my normal time even with the added patients. I planned to go out to dinner with Jake, but Sandra called me into her office right when I was getting ready to leave. She wanted me to stay to help her work out rehab plans, so I would be late again.

I called Jake to let him know.

"Hey babe. I'm sorry. I'm staying late again. I'm already exhausted." I asked.

"Ok. That's cool. If you're tired, get some rest." He said shortly. I felt bad for cancelling on him.

"I still wanna hang out with you." I said, quickly. "We can go out tonight. I'll be home in another hour. Ok?"

" ok. " Jake replied.

I really was dead on my feet, but I would push through it for Jake. When I got off, I tried to call him. When there was no answer, I just headed home. Sammy was there when I arrived. She grinned at me. Weirdo. I tried Jake one more time as I trudged up the stairs. I was shocked to hear ringing coming from my room.

When I opened my bedroom door, Jake was in my room. Bathwater was ready in the tub and a new pink lace cami and boyshorts set sitting out for me. My face broke out into a smile and I hugged him close.

"Thank you Jake. You're amazing." I gushed.

"You're welcome Cariño. Get naked." He smiled.

I did and hopped in the tub. I sank in the hot water, relaxing. He used bath salts and bubbles. It was so heavenly, I didn't wanna get out.

 I dragged myself out, when the water cooled. I threw on my new pajamas after quickly slathering on lotion. I jumped into bed with Jake where he was waiting for me with take out. We ate sushi rolls in bed while watching Thursday night football. Full and nodding off, I set my alarm for an hour early before I laid down to went to sleep.



The next thing I knew, my alarm was waking us up.

"Lily...you gotta be at work early too?" He groaned at me.

"No. Same time. I just need to thank my boyfriend for taking care of me last night." I said, rubbing my hands up and down his chest.

I kissed down his chest to his penis. I used every trick I ever saw in porn videos to get him off. It worked. He grabbed my hair to hold me in place as he climaxed.

I crawled up on the bed next to him when he finished. I laid my head on his chest.

"You're amazing." He said, breathlessly.

"I gotta keep up with you." I smiled, resting in his arms. "Although I think I just surpassed you."

"You do?" Jake challenged.

When I nodded, he rolled over me. I laughed and we play fought. I tried to get him off of me. He pinned my arms down and began to kiss me. I kissed him back. His grip loosened on my arms, so I was able to break free. I just placed my fingers through his hair. He groaned against my lips as I massaged his scalp. I grinned as I discovered another turn on for him.

"Te extraño. Quiero más tiempo contigo. {I miss you. I want more time with you}" He said, smothering kisses on me.

"I'm right here Jake. Make love to me." I said between kisses.

He removed my clothes and as the sun came up, he gave me exactly what I wanted. And it was simply amazing.
