"You're right, but you were the one who brought church up."
Being in A'Mylo's presence brought me joy. I was glad he showed up tonight, even if I didn't know he was going to be here. I had never been at ease with him as I was now.
He eyed me intently, causing me to feel breathless. It had me wondering what was running through his mind.
"You know, tonight made me realize something," he stated.
"Oh yeah, what?"
"I believe in fate, and I never would have expected to see you here. But I did, and that's something I'm not about to take for granted. You know I'm feeling you, right? There's no need for me to beat around the bush about it either. Since I laid eyes on you and have gotten to know you a little better, it has helped me see what you need in your life."
I scrunched my face up and eyed A'Mylo in confusion. I was about to say something, but he continued.
"I was never open to having a relationship again. Being burned by love would do that to a person. Hell, it did it to me. Still, you have opened my eyes to a lot of new things."
I understood all of what A'Mylo was saying, but how was he going to skip over what he said about what I needed in my life? According to my friends, I needed some dick, but I didn't think I needed it. Still, I could be honest and admit that I wanted A'Mylo's dick.
"Let's backtrack a little." I rolled my hands back, indicating the gesture. I saw I had his attention, so I continued. "What is it you think I need in my life?"
A crooked grin spread across his face. "You need me. With all the flirting you were doing, you need some dick too."
My cheeks warmed at A'Mylo's bluntness. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you."
He shrugged. "The only thing you can do is let me be me."
I scoffed, picking up my glass. "It seems to me, I don't have a choice."
"You damn right," he confirmed, picking up his beer bottle to down the rest of it.
Later that night, A'Mylo walked a tipsy me to my car. As I leaned on him, I felt him rubbing against me. A giggle slipped from my mouth at his boldness.
"I think you were looking for a reason to touch me."
We weren't the only ones walking to our cars after a night of fun at the bar. Loud chatter and laughter were heard as we made our way across the pavement. We walked side by side with myface buried in his neck. A'Mylo's scent was intoxicating. As much as I wanted to lick him, I didn't.
"I don't see you complaining," he quickly replied. "You smell all fruity and shit. You gon' make me eat you."
If only he knew what his words did to my insides. A feeling pierced my heart with an emotion I didn't understand.
"Where are your keys?" he asked when we reached my car.
I didn't want to move away from him, but I needed to get my keys. Regretfully, I pulled away from him. "Here they go," I stated, pulling the keys out of my purse to show him.
"I'm going to drive you home, and my homeboy is going to follow me in my car to your house."
I frowned as if he could see me in the dark. "Why?"
He pointed at me. "Your ass is tipsy. Hell, I might as well say drunk. I wouldn't feel right if I let you leave here like this without driving you home. I texted my homeboy while we were still in the bar. He's waiting at my car now. I just need to get your drunk ass in the car."
It was sweet that A'Mylo wanted to do that, but that was something I didn't need him to do. I'd never had a man show care as much as he did, and I didn't know how to take it.
"You really don't have to do that."
He hummed. "I'm going to do it, anyway."
I threw my hands up with a huff, not in the mood to argue with him. "Okay, whatever."
A'Mylo's hands went to his chest as he let out a dramatic gasp. "Oh shit. No back talk. It's going to rain tomorrow," he joked.
