His shoulders melted when he sighed. “That’s fair. I just couldn’t think of what to say to you when you came to the door. I mean, Katana told me what to say, but I don’t think that was the route to go.”
I giggled. “What did she tell you to say?” I had a feeling it was going to be hilarious.
He handed me the flowers and shook his head before dropping his chin to his chest. “I’m sorry for being a clueless jerk. Let me take you to get some food and eat you out in exchange for a fresh start.” I slapped my hand over my mouth as I started cackling. From the time I spent around Katana at his mother’s birthday party, that sounded very much like something she would tell him to say. “That was bad advice, right?”
“I mean, she was on to something with that.”
“Fuck, aight. Let’s go in the house then,” he said, reaching for my hand.
I began to laugh harder. “Wait, wait. What do you mean?”
“I’m about to eat your pussy for my second chance right now.”
I bopped him in the chest with the flowers, making him laugh. “You’re crazy,” I joked. I inhaled the flowers and smiled. “These are beautiful. Thank you.”
He nodded once and blessed me with his smile. “You’re welcome. Were you on your way out, or you saw me out here, geeking?”
I giggled. “Yeah, I was about to go watch the sunset at my favorite spot.”
He rocked back on his toes before looking up at the sky. “Okay, cool. Since I can’t eat your pussy, can I go with you?”
I hummed, loving the thought of feeling him slurping me up again. “If you come with me, you just might end up doing that anyway,” I warned him.
He nodded once. “Okay, bet. Let’s go, baby.”
Hearing that word on his lips made me pause, but only for a second. He started walking to his car parked on the curb. “Oh, no, sir. We are not taking the bat mobile. I’m driving.”
He eyed my car suspiciously. “Is it safe?”
I flipped him off before unlocking the doors. I went to reach for the handle, but he popped me. “Ouch!” I fussed, snatching my hand away. I stepped back to allow him to open my door for me.
“Well, don’t touch doors around me, and you won’t get popped.”
I smirked. “Hm, okay, and what else can I get popped for?”
He leaned down so we were face-to-face. “Insubordination.”
“Good to know. Come on and hop in. We’re on a time clock. The sun sets in like twenty minutes.”
He closed me in before rushing around to the passenger side. Once he was safely inside, I started up and backed out of my driveway. My phone automatically connected to the car, and myGolden Hourplaylist began to play. Ketai took the first minute to adjust the seat to his liking. He was so tall that he had to push the seat as far back as it would go.
I happened to glance over at Tai, and he looked so fine lying back in the passenger seat.Thump!I accidentally clipped the curb, cutting it too close. “Oops,” I giggled when he glared at me.
“Talking about some oops. See. At least I don’t hit shit when I drive.”
I chuckled. “Whatever, boy. Tell me why you showed up at my house.”
He began pulling at the hairs on his goatee. “I wanted a second chance to assure you that I only have the best intentionsin my pursuit of you. I don’t know what you’ve been through with other men, but I want to let it be known that I am dating for marriage, no play-play shit.”
Suddenly, I was in need of a snack because my nerves were super active. I gripped the steering wheel before turning to look at him. “Girl, don’t be looking at me. Keep your eyes on the damn road.”
I quickly snapped my attention back to the road and ended up running a red light. I made a face, hoping he didn’t notice, but when I saw him shaking his head out of my peripheral, I knew he had. He was totally over there judging me about it too.
“You’re the first man to ever be clear with me like this, and I appreciate it.”
“I can be the first man to do a lot more if you give me the opportunity.”
Thankfully, we made it to the lookout spot I found. It was my favorite place to watch the sunset because no one else would be around. It felt like it was just me and God’s artwork when I was up there. I backed into my usual spot, then shut the car off.
