Ipulled up to Jatavia’s location and cut the engine. For a second, I rested my hands on the steering wheel and weighed my options. I could pick Jatavia up from whoever house this was and take her back to her apartment where I would spend the night. Or I could drive her ass back to Cali with me and get some better-quality time with her.
I made a mental note before hopping out of the car to ask her ass about work before I just up and took her on a five-hour drive away from home. I had to have consideration for her although I knew she didn’t need the type of job she was working in the first place with me back in the picture.
I stepped out of my truck, hoodie zipped up blocking the cold night air. Soon as I got to the door, I called her number not wanting to knock on the door since it was one in the morning. Jatavia didn’t answer, and I didn’t know who the hell house I had pulled up to for her. I called her ass back-to-back until she answered sounding groggy.
“Dreu?” She yawned into the phone.
I closed my eyes for a couple of seconds and smiled big as hell. To any body on the outside trying to get a clear view of the inside…I probably looked crazy. I didn’t give a damn though;Jatavia was worth every mile and all the gas I burned to get here doing over a hundred on the freeway.
“In the flesh baby, put on your shoes and let’s go, Pancakes.” I hung up.
I was so thirsty, I placed my ear against the door to hear light movement on the other side of the door. Seconds later, the lock clicked followed by the door cracking open. Jatavia stood at the door barefoot. Her eyes were low and red; her pressed hair was all over her hair. She looked confused and beautiful all in one to me. She had on a black cotton gown that stopped mid-juicy thighs.
“What are you doing here?” She whispered lowly.
I stepped up to her until I was able to slide my hand around her waist and bring her ass close. I smelled the wine on her breath soon as I leaned down and kissed her soft lips.
“I told you I missed you; you told me to prove that shit then dropped your location.” I told her pecking the corner of her lip.
I wanted to taste more of her, so I glided my tongue over her bottom lip then sucked it into my mouth. I didn’t need to tell her that I was getting ready to have an interview for a podcast that paid me well to appear for an hour before she dropped her location. I was able to get them to agree to do my interview tomorrow evening instead of tonight. That didn’t mean that I wouldn’t have to hear Rina’s mouth about taking shit more seriously.
For Jatavia, it was worth leaving that damn interview to get to her.
“You really came, Dreu.” She rubbed her eyes.
“I did, Ma.” I reached up, grabbed the hem of my hoodie and pulled it over my head. The night air hit my skin, but I didn’t give a damn. I held my hoodie out to her.
“Put this on.” I instructed.
She hesitated; I could tell she wanted to protest but thought against it. She placed it over her head; it fit her snug as hell and stopped underneath her breasts since they were too big to allow the hoodie to cover her stomach. I grabbed Tavia’s hand and told her to lock the bottom lock. She turned, walked further into the house as I stood at the door waiting.
Jatavia emerged with her shoes on, and her purse slung over her shoulder. She locked the bottom lock, grabbed my hand and let me lead the way to my truck. I wasted no time pulling away from whoever house I got her from.
“Where we going, Dreu?” She asked softly.
“You got work tomorrow?” I glanced over at her.
“No, I don’t.” She rested her head against the head rest.
“Good, we headed to the freeway then. We going back to Cali.” I told her.
“You crazy as hell.” She laughed nervously.
“I know, but I’m serious as hell. I want to really spend some time with you. I’ll even pay you to decorate my house to put me in the holiday spirit.” I chuckled.
“You don’t got to pay me when I’ll be using your money to purchase all the stuff. This will be good; I can have you take me over to the projects in a couple of days to go surprise my mom and dad with a visit.” She stifled another yawn.
“Damn, that weed my cousin had was strong as hell…I still feel high.” She giggled out softly.
I chuckled as I analyzed her words. She said ‘In a couple of days’ which to me meant, she planned on staying longer, which automatically had me already pre-planning all of the things that I wanted to do with and for her.
“How long you plan on staying in Cali with me, Tavia?” I asked lowly.
“I don’t know, I kind of miss the hell out of Cali. I quit my job because they don’t give a damn about my health and when I’m in pain.” She glanced out of the window.
“Health?” I raised a brow.
“Yes, I had severe cramps and couldn’t focus, I tried to take the rest of the day off and my boss said no.”
