I blinked a few times and walked up closer to her. “But it won’t, because I intend to look at you as long as I possibly can.”
She giggled. “Hello to you too, North.”
“Don’t hello me, especially when you didn’t hit me up.” By now I was so close to her that I could smell the sweet fragrance that she was wearing. I expected her to back up and or look away, but she didn’t.
“I did respond. I questioned what you had in mind. So, if we’re beefing it’s because you didn’t respond to me.” She lightly poked me in my chest. Then she turned and went around the counter.
“Bullshit.”
“I accept your apology.” She winked at me with a big ass smile on her face.
I didn’t respond. I just shook my head.
“But what did you have in mind?” By now she was leaning on the empty counter looking in my direction. “I mean that is if you’re still free.”
“Food and maybe a movie? Something along those corny ass lines.” I was dead ass serious. This shit was new to me, because I had never attempted to ever date a female to get to know her.
She laughed. “Theater, or does that big ass house of yours have a theater room?”
“Whichever you prefer.”
She shook her head. “I don’t feel like being around too many people, so your theater will do.”
Finally, a woman after my own fucking heart. I rarely felt like dealing with people, so I knew exactly what she meant. “What time do you close?”
“Eight, but I’m leaving in a few to situate my son with my father. My closer is in the back.”
I nodded. I was about to say something else, but my sister walking from the back room of the store interrupted me.
“Nor, why didn’t you call me and tell me you were out here? I’ve been sitting back there waiting for you for the last fifteen minutes.”
Omyia laughed.
“Oh, I get it. You’ve been up here harassing my boss.” My sister smirked and walked right past me. “See you Friday, Ommy.”
“You too, baby girl,” she called after her. Then Omyia ’s focus was back on me. There was no fucking way that she didn’t know the type of power she had on niggas just by looking at them with those catlike eyes. Something told me that those eyes and thisbeautiful creature in front of me would definitely be a problem for me.
My eyes went down from hers to those perfect lips of hers. She had the type of lips that hos were paying to get, and I was willing to bet those motherfuckers were pillow soft. “Yo, you got some pretty ass lips.”
She bit into the bottom one, before a playful smile filled them. “So, I’ve been told. They’re characterized as inviting. What do you think?”
Without even realizing it I moved closer to the counter. “Are you inviting me to feel them?”
“Mayb—”
The bell letting us know that someone had walked into the empty shop rang. Then my sister’s voice filled the space. “C’mon Nor, I’m tired and I wanna go home.”
At that moment I wanted to curse Niema’s ass out, but instead I nodded my head.
“We’ll just have to see tonight, won’t we?”
“Nah, I’m a grown ass man who ain’t got much patience.” Before she could ask me what I meant my hand found that spot right below her chin and firmly gripped her neck. Then I positioned her face directly in front of mine before I leaned forward and mashed my lips against hers. That wasn’t all I fucking wanted, but for now I’d settle for it. I let her neck go and pulled back noticing her eyes were still closed.Yeah, she had me on some clown shit.
“See you at eight, Omyia.”
The last thing I expected was to go home and be all in my head about shorty coming over. This was how I knew I wasn’t used tothis shit. I took a shower and immediately gravitated toward the kitchen after getting myself together.
“Are you okay?” Niema asked when she walked in the kitchen.
