“Rennix, stop playing with fire. I’ll figure it out soon, baby.”
That wasn’t good enough so I dropped the lit match on the carpet and she screamed my name louder than ever.
For a minute I stood there and watched it burn, until she threw water on it and put it out.
So I lit another. “It’s gonna take you much longer to keep going to get water if I keep lighting fires. Carpet is gonna be Dalmatian patterned.”
“Not if I throw the next cup of water on you and wet the matches in the process.”
I smiled , dick bricking up at the sight of her. I had just come in from being with Rem and she was just natural. Her hair was in a high messy bun, threatening to spill out. On her body was a heather grey cami, letting me know she had no bra on. Then on her bottom a pair of black biker shorts, hugging that ass of hers just right, showcasing those thick ass thighs and the gold elephant anklet that for some reason turned me on every time I saw it on her. I was attracted to every fucking thing about Caya. Nothing was ever too small or too big, everything with her did it for me. If she changed her fucking earrings, I was bricked.
“You wanna test that theory, thug?”
She sighed. “No. Fine. I’ll call and schedule movers in the morning. Also don’t forget to put a couple dollars on the coffee table, you fucking maniac.”
I laughed and set the matches on the island before I approached her. The feel of her body in my embrace had to be the equivalent to heaven. It felt so right.
A knock at my door interrupted my flashback, making me open the drawer to the left of me and pull my pistol out. After getting shot I was a bit more paranoid.
“Since when you start locking doors?” Rem’s voice alerted me to it being him.
“Since a motherfucker thought they were about to make me maggot food and go about their business.” I pressed the new addition to my office and buzzed my brother in before closing the drawer with my gun.
He walked in holding a fucking food carton, of course, when did he not? Reminisce ate more than anybody I knew with his hungry ass.
“Nah, I’m not hungry, Rem, thanks for asking,” I said aloud, watching him set himself up at the coffee table to have lunch like this was a popular lunch spot.
“Good, I ain’t fuckin’ offer.”
I laughed. “It’s cool, ’cause my sister is coming through a little later.”
He waved me off, eyes finding the TV that was usually on, but off today. “Yeen watching none of that feeling sap shit?”
I shook my head. I hadn’t been watching too many interviews because I feel like I wasn’t bottling things up anymore. Caya and I discussed and debated everything. We probably even had pillow talk, but all in all we communicated in a way neither of us was really used to but craved.
“So, you get a girl and you’re just off that shit? No more damaged TV? She must be saving your soul, huh?” It was hard to tell if he was joking or serious because Reminisce’s dry humor could be mistaken for seriousness.
“Something like that. She’s moving in with me,” I revealed, grabbing my phone to track Jade’s always late ass.
“How you feel about that?”
“What do you mean how do I feel? I asked her. Well maybe not asked. I forced her hand a lil bit.”
Rem laughed. “So, you strongarmed her into moving in with you.”
I shrugged. “Probably. I just did the necessary. Life is too fucking short to be moving according to somebody else’s plan. I’m moving on my own from now on.”
“Alright, man with a plan, what else you got in mind?”
“Not sure yet. I’m letting stuff come to me. When I figure it out I’ll let you know.” I winked at him just to fuck with him.
He flipped me off.
I was about to say something when my phone vibrated and I glanced down and saw it was my baby. She had requested to FaceTime.
“Look I’ve done as much packing as I’m gonna do today. Don’t come in my place starting fires today.”
“We’ll see. If that closet ain’t empty, I’m for sure lighting some shit up. I might come in with some wood tonight.” I winked into the phone.
