“I was gone for an hour, and you were sleep so probably about two hours.” I answered her.
“Wow. You place does something to me and knocks me out.” She joked. “You know, it’s been three days Halo. Eventually I’ll have to go home and return to work.”
I looked down at her, “I know boo. I just wanted you here for a few days. You went through a lot and needed a minute.” I squeezed the side of her thigh.
“I know but I don’t want to get used to being here. I know it’s not permanent.” She sadly looked down at her knotted fingers.
Instead of me going into that overthinking shit I decided to be straight up. “Do you want it to be permanent?”
Story sat up straight and faced me all the way. “What—
“Naw Story. Be straight up with me and tell me what it is you want.” I said it stern, but I was calm.
“I want you to tell me to stay. I know we haven’t been together in a long time and---”
I pulled her to me and kissed her deep for a while. It was the first one since we left Blake and Siren’s housewarming.
“All that other stuff you were about to say doesn’t matter Story. I want yo’ ass to stay right here with me. I don’t want anyone, but you and I promise on everything I love that I will do right by us this time.”
That deep single dimple she had appeared on her face from her smile. “I want the same thing. I love you Halo, I never stopped.”
“I love you too.”
Story let me push her back on the couch and we went back to kissing. We were naked in seconds, her legs were around my waist, and I was inside of her.
“Ain’t nobody ever getting this dick again but you. Just like nobody ever getting this pussy again but me. The outcome will be the same as the last if you play with me.” I looked her in her eyes and told the truth while I rounded my hips and pushed deeper inside of her.
“Uhhh babe, never. Uhhhh…it’s you and me.”
I sucked on her chocolate nipples then said, “Mmhm, you and me for good. I’on want not a soul but you.” I started sucking on her neck until she came. Then I pulled out and kissed my way down her body.
Our fingers interlocked as I ate her pussy so good that she almost fell off my couch. This was the girl I wanted from the minute I walked into her sister’s braid shop. I would never let her go and planned on making her the happiest.
Epilogue
Story
October 2022 seven months later
“Boo, what’chu in here crying for.” Halo walked in our bedroom and sat next to me on my vanity chair.
“Tonight is your big night. You’ve waited a long time for this, and you must show up with a huge fiancé whose nose has spread and ankles look like croissants.” I broke down crying after I told him.
I looked at Halo in the mirror, and he had his head turned laughing.
“Glad you think it’s funny!!”
He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the side of my neck. His hands rubbed my new six-month-old belly. These months have moved fast, and my life was so different. The first two weeks of us being back together. Halo and I did a road trip to Arizona so he could meet the rest of my family in person.
We stayed for a week, and they got along very well. My dad had a million questions for Halo about how he planned to treat me this time. Halo stood strong and answered every single one. Jesse and Pixie had a few of their own and my mama as well.
By the end of the first day Halo won them over. I showed him where I went to school with and we went to The Grand Canyon. Once we returned to Michigan Halo paid for me to break my lease and I moved in with him. I found out I was pregnant a week later and we were ecstatic.
There was no plan on how we would tell everyone. We just did it the next day. My parents took a second before they hopped on the train of us having a baby. I think they thought it was too soon but there was nothing they could do.
I was not getting another abortion, and Halo would have went crazy if I did. The next month we hired Brian as a realtor and started house shopping. We wanted a two floor five bedroom with a big backyard and a finished basement.
I wanted another kitchen and full bathroom in the basement. It took two and a half months for us to find the perfect house for us. Moving in was extremely easy because all we had was clothes and shoes. Halo wanted us to start over with everything, and I was fine with that. The only problem was this pregnancy.
