Page 30 of Giving Him Something He Can Feel

Cartrek:You home?

Me:I’mwalking toward the house.About to walk in the building rn.

I slipped my phone into my pocket and proceeded in. Like always I let Adorie press the button as we awaited the elevator. It took a minute, but once it got to the lobby we stepped on. Of course she pressed our floor, while I stood back watching the numbers change as we went up.

“Where do you see yourself in about five years?” his voice was cool and crisp as we sat in the empty suite that he’d rented for our dinner. He was a thoughtful human.

“Five years. Specific huh?” I sipped from the wine glassin my hand.

He nodded. “What, did you want a nigga to say fifteen years? Shit, I’ll be out of my prime.”

I giggled. “No but that was random. Anyway I just wanna be comfortable. Giving my daughter the life she deserves and happy. Not too much, right?”

“Not too much at all. You see yourself letting a nigga be that happiness?” He sat back and looked at me for my answer.

“I don’t know. It depends. I’m not into the idea of allowing a man to be all of my happiness, especially when he’d have the power to strip me of that.”

He nodded. “Well some of it.”

I smiled. “Maybe.”

“I know that Ace nigga still tryna be in the picture, and none of me is mad ‘bout that right now, but the more serious we get the less I’ma tolerate it. I’m a selfish nigga, Vee.” That fast his sentence went serious, and he was giving me the most serious expression he could muster.

I swallowed hard and nodded my head. “And when you say serious, what exactly does that mean? For you of course?”

He chortled showing those perfect ass teeth. “Means when I’m putting all my energy into you, I want all of your energy on me. Serious.”

“Good to know, but until then we’re dating and you’re free to put all your energy into to all of those you’ve been putting it into?”

Laughter escaped his lips. “We’ll see.”

The rest of the night went on, and we continued to enjoy our night void of any Ace or Mafia talk.

The ding of the elevator interrupted my flashback of my date last week with Aylo. I blinked a few times, before my eyes landed on the opening gold doors. Adorie was the first to step off, then myself. When I did step off, I smelled him. Something about Cartrek’s cologne was so potent that it filled spaces leaving anyone smelling it with the desire to follow the scent. Then when I turned the corner, there he was standing at my door with food cartons inside of white bags with the words THANKYOU printed more times than necessary. Though he went missingmore than a feral cat, he sure knew how to show up and have me knowing I’d veer from my plans. Not only had he brought dinner, but he brought dick.What a beautiful night tonight would be.

As soon as Adorie spotted Cartrek, she yelled his name rushing his legs like she had known this nigga her whole life. For some reason that was comical to me because she was such a fickle child.

I reached the door to my apartment a few seconds after she reached him. Once I had it unlocked, I stood back allowing him to walk in first and her little happy ass to follow. He set the food on the counter, while she ran to her bedroom. I already know she was running her ass in there to her iPad.

I was so busy watching her little bowlegs that I didn’t feel Cartrek in my space, until his lips were against my neck and a hand squeezing my ass.

He definitely brought dick.

“How was work?”his question filled the kitchen. Though I couldn’t see him, I know he was clearing off the table from our dinner.

“I didn’t do much there today. I just went in and printed my quarterly reports. You?”

“Long ass day. Nigga needed a moment to just be.” He placed a few plates in the dishwasher, before reaching to close it.

I nodded. “I get that some days are just exhausting.”

“As fuck, but somehow when I come here with y’all…” His sentence trailed off. Something he normally did when he was biting back his words, looking for the right thing to say so he doesn’t come off as too open.

“You get a lil’ boost. I get it, you use us for our energy.”

He chuckled. “Among other things.” Within seconds he was behind me, dick stabbing me in the lower back while his hand restedon my side.

“Good, We got a mutual agreement.”
