“Meet your daughter in hell.” I put a bullet in between her eyes.
Cairo had the team clean up and made it look like a break in. He didn’t want to burn the house because William needed to hear on the news exactly what happened.
In the meantime, it was time for Lina to do some making up.
CHAPTER 21
Kateri
Standingat the door admiring my work, a smile came across my face. For the last three weeks I’ve picked up overtime and ordered certain things to make tonight special for me and Cairo. There wasn’t any particular reason for what I’m doing and my mother always said it’s the thought that counts when you’re not as rich.
I ordered 12 packs of rose petals that held 1000 pieces in each box. I could’ve gotten them from Hobby Lobby or Michael’s but they only had one hundred of them for $13.99. Amazon had everything I needed for tonight and it made sense to get it all in one place.Unfortunately, it took me forever to separate those damn petals but it would be worth it.
They were pink ones and led from the door, up the stairs and into the bedroom. This wasn’t his main house on what he considered the compound but I wasn’t complaining about being here either. It’s nice as hell and the California King bed gave us a lot of space to be nasty.
Anyway, I ordered this galaxy light projector to illuminate the room and the effect was beautiful. There were balloons, tea candles everywhere and the light up letters that read,“I love you, Cairo”was on the bed with a few bags from one of his favorite stores which was the Salvatore Ferragamo one.
I brought him a Ferragamo gift set, a couple of silk ties since he looked good as hell in a suit. Two different sets of Gancini cuff links and a sports utility jacket that was $1600. I have to say, the stuff was expensive but not only did Cairo deserve it, there wasn’t anything I could buy him that he couldn’t buy himself. I’m hoping the gesture alone makes him smile.
He was the best thing that has ever happened to me and I wanted to show him just how much he meant to me. No one knew about this fantasy I created at his house and I refused to tell just in case he didn’t like it or told me to clean it all up and go home.
Cairo had a sweet and sensitive side about him but he also had an ignorant one as well. In a way I’m happy to have witnessed that first because I probably would’ve left.
Making my way upstairs, I rushed to shower so I’d be ready when he arrived. The lace teddy was laid out on the bed with these YSL sandals he brought me to go out for dinner. We ended up not going so this would be the first day I wore them.
I usually don’t come here without him but he asked me to meet him because he had something to tell me. I asked if he were breaking up with me because that could be done on the phone. Ain’t no way in hell I’d go over there to get dumped. Once he said no, I told him I’d be there.
After getting myself together, I glanced at the time and saw it was 7:50. Cairo said he’d be here by 8 which gave me ten extra minutes. Not knowing what to do because I assumed he would be walking in soon as I got dressed, I went downstairs and into the kitchen to check and make sure all the food for dinner wasready. The chef left right before I showered. Cairo always had him here in case I was hungry so I had him make one of Cairo’s favorite dishes.
“This looks delicious.” I whispered. As bad as I wanted to taste one of the chocolate covered strawberries, I refrained from doing so. I remember Cairo saying it wasn’t sexy to have the seeds in between your teeth. Tonight had to be perfect because well, shit, I’ve never done this before. Me and the guy usually just goes to his place, we have sex and that’s it. All of this intimacy and lovemaking was unknown to me. When I say Cairo opened my eyes to so many different things, he really did.
To be honest, I had no idea there was a difference in making love and just having sex. However, allowing a man to stimulate your mind, body and soul would put you on an entirely different level. It would have you doing shit you wouldn’t normally which was what I’m doing. And I damn sure ain’t never spent that kinda money on any man or worked overtime to do it. He better appreciate this or it’ll never happen again.
Hearing a car pull up, I managed to make it to the door before him. The lights were off and the tea lights lit up the area. I must say it looked very nice and I may have to go into the decorating business.
Opening the satin robe to show the lace teddy, I let my hair down and tossed the scrunchy.
“Here goes nothing.” Blowing my breath as I spoke to myself, the door opened and a smile came across my face. Cairo had a dozen roses and a bag of soul food from my favorite restaurant.
“I’m not sure these flowers and food can compare to what you got going on.” He put the stuff down, kicked the door shut, locked it and walked toward me.
“All this for me?” He licked his lips and spun me around holding my hand. This man had such a hold on me that if he asked me to kill for him, I would.
“Everything in front of you is yours.” I stepped back to strike a pose. He pulled his phone out to snap a few photos.
“Hell yea it is.” He wanted to carry me up the steps but I refused. I had everything planned out perfectly and that included me switching up the stairs in front of him.
Once we were at the top of the stairs, I had him strip but wanted him to leave on his boxers. His body was immaculate to me and I enjoyed staring at it. I didn’t want his boxers off yet because I’d drop to my knees to give him head once I saw his dick and that would interfere with my plans.
“When we go inside, you don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to.” It would hurt my feelings if he didn’t like the surprise.
“I’m not saying shit because I love what you’re doing.” I was shocked to hear that no woman went out like this for him.I’m the first so if we didn’t stay a couple, I’ll always be the one he thought of if another chick tried to do this.
“If you like it, I don’t mind doing it more.” He pulled me by the arm to his chest and leaned down to kiss me. His hands were exploring my body but I had to stop him.
“Not yet.” Backing away, I took his hand in mine and led Cairo in the bedroom.
“What the fuck?” Turning my head quickly to see why he responded like that and saw a grin on his face. He responded that way due to seeing the gifts and the light up words.
