Meeting Him

Riley rubbed his eyes as he sat up on the bed. A smile formed on his face. The previous night made him feel closer to Natasha. Her smile, her laughter, made him feel peace. She was everything he could ever ask for in a friend. He sat with that lovely smile on his face, as his mind wandered around the happy moments he spent with Natasha.

Well, that was until, Natasha's once annoying, but now sweet voice shouted from outside his room.

"Hey Riley, freshen up and come down for breakfast."

He snapped out of his reminiscing but that smile remained there, as he also shouted back.

"Be there in a minute."

He rushed into the bathroom, washed his teeth and had a quick bath. He stepped out, wanting to get dressed, then it hit him hard. He came unprepared.

He wore a bathrobe over the towel and stepped out of the room. As he walked down the stairs, he could hear Natasha's laughter and wondered what or who could make her laugh so hard. It sounded as though she was talking with someone, she could probably be on the phone, who knows.

The kitchen door was wide open and as he approached the kitchen, his nose was hit with different aromas at once. He could hear Natasha's voice, laughter and then a solemn music playing. He was no longer sure if she really was discussing with someone, or if it was the lyrics of the music that made her laugh.

He stopped right at the door, when he saw two figures. One, he recognized, the other was a complete stranger to him.

Even though the stranger's back was all he could see, he still could not help, but admire the person. The person was tall, he could bet that the person was 6ft tall or maybe even more than that, but he was very sure that the person was nothing less than 6ft. The person's black hair rested on the person's broad shoulders, Riley could tell that the hair was very full. The black singlet the person wore hugged the white skin of the person tightly.

Riley didn't know what tempted him, but he really wanted to look down and access the ass of the person. Just as his eyes went down to access the backview, he was surprised to see the front view. He heard someone clear their throat. Riley let out a soft gasp as he slowly looked up. Even though he knew he had been caught staring, Riley didn't deny himself a good look of the person's abs, which were obvious all thanks to how tightly the singlet hugged it's owner's body. As his eyes caught sight of the pecs, his emotions betrayed him by forming a small smile on his face. His eyes lingered there. As his eyes looked up,, his eyes got locked with the person's green eyes. Riley took a gulp as he looked at the face of the young man in front of him.

He forced himself to look away, then he looked at Natasha. Seeing her looking confused or was she surprised, he just couldn't tell at the moment, but he was sure of one thing. The young man he had been staring at was her boyfriend, that was why she looked at him the way she did.

*****

Natasha was busy choosing the sauces they would use, when she noticed the person beside her turn his back to the egg he was frying. She was going to call his attention, when she realized he was actually staring at Riley. Looking at Riley, she was surprised to see him staring at someone's body for so long. And with the way he stared at the person, it seemed the person made him horny. This was the very first time she was seeing this side of Riley. She was just hoping he wouldn't embarrass himself, getting a boner in front of this person. She had to find a way to get him away for the main time.

"Um, Nat, I mean Natasha."

Oh, no, no, she couldn't let him say anything stupid.

"Your brother brought you your uniform, why don't you go back to the room, I'll bring it to you."

"You could have told me your boyfriend was coming over, I wouldn't had spent the night here."

They both said at once.

Natasha who was now beside Riley and holding his arm, in an attempt to take him away, stopped. Did she hear him correctly? Boyfriend?

"Did you just say my boyfriend?"

"Richard came, why don't I know?"

They asked each other the very same time.

"Hold on a second. Did you say my boyfriend?"

She didn't know why, but it sure did sound amusing to her. Just what made him think that the person was her boyfriend.

"Um, yes, I mean, you two look good together."

He chuckles nervously.

"I'm so sorry." he said as he directed his gaze to the young man.

"I'm very very sorry, I had no idea that, see, I and Nat, I mean Natasha, have nothing going on between us, we are friends, just good friends. I'll be leaving soon anyway, I just came to take my clothes."

He was hoping the man would understand, at the very least, he thought the man would say 'no problem'. Instead he was surprised to see the man return to whatever it was he was doing before.

Did he just get ignored?

Natasha was doing her very best to hold back her laughter.

She held Riley's arm and led him out of the kitchen and into the living room. She picked up a paper bag from a chair and handed it to him.

"Why don't you go get changed." she said and gave him a gentle push towards the stairs.

"Oh, and also, that's my uncle, not my boyfriend."

Natasha left Riley, standing there with his mouth agape.

"Just why didn't she warn me beforehand?"
