“Yeah.” The defeat in her voice was on full display. “I should get out of here. You probably need to get to the shop.”

“You’re good. On Fridays, I usually run my moms around, take her to do her grocery shopping and her little errands. But today, she doesn’t need me, so I’m free. I’mma probably get a few things taken care of for myself.”

The light reappeared in her eyes, and she gave me a smile.

“What’s that smile about?” I applied deodorant to my armpit.

“I think it’s cute that you take your mom to run errands.”

“Yeah, Bianca is the homegirl. I love her. Enjoy her company. I wanna spend as much time with her as I can. Nobody knows when the clock is gonna run out.” I wanted to bite back the words the second they left my mouth. “Aye, lil bit?—”

She cut me off, even though her eyes brimmed with unshed tears.

“Don’t feel bad about saying that. You’re right. I appreciate every moment I got to spend with my daddy.”

We were quiet. I stepped into a pair of gray jeans.

“Oh,” she said, like an idea had just popped into her mind. “I should get ready to get out of here. You need to go.”

I walked over to the bed and let myself fall onto it, landing directly between her legs and caging her in with my arms.

She fought to cover her mouth. “No, Nico! Don’t get in my face. I don’t want you to smell my morning breath.”

“Why not?” I pushed her back on the bed. “You didn’t mind my nose being buried in your pussy all night. You wouldn’t let me come up outta that thing. Clearly, you love getting your pussy ate.”

“I do.” She turned her head to the side. “Besides, my coochie smells good.”

“Taste good, too.” I eased down the pants and drawers I’d just put on.

“Nico.” She whined.

I didn’t pay attention to whatever she was talking about. Instead, I slid into her. A sigh of contentment escaped from my mouth as I buried myself inside her.

“Shit.”

She reached behind her and put the pillow over her face.

“The fuck?” The move almost took me out of the moment…almost, but her pussy was so good that I didn’t think there was much that could take me out of the moment of being deep inside her.

“I wanna moan, and I don’t want you to smell my breath.”

“I wanna see your face.” This was a conversation that I could honestly say I’d never had during sex.

“Just let me get in doggy style then we can both enjoy the encounter.”

I considered her suggestion for a millisecond before agreeing. “Yeah. Flip over.”

I convinced Julianna to hang out with me while I ran my errands. Part of it was that I liked being with her, and I wasn’t ready for her to leave my presence. The other part of it was that I kept imagining her sitting at home alone and sad.

The first stop was the detail shop.

“So, this is where you always bring your car to have it detailed?” Julianna asked as we pulled up toPlatinum Plays Wash & Detail.

“Yeah. My homeboy, Play, owns it. We used to…work together as kids.”

“What kind of work were y’all doing as kids, Nico?”
