I giggled and looked over my shoulder.
“Now I have to leave here with a wet ass pussy.”
He bit his lower lip, then slapped my ass. When his beeper went off, alerting him to either an emergency or just anappointment. I wasn’t sure. He quickly helped me put my shit back on and then led me back to the front before rushing off.
I did my best to make it as quickly as possible out of the hospital without anyone noticing a difference. But then again, I didn’t give a damn. I’m sure the nurse at the front saw the difference in my walk. I made it out of the hospital quickly, head down, praying nobody else noticed. But even if they did, so what? My ponytail was crooked, my legs unsteady—oh well. Let ‘em wonder.
The drive home was a blur of replaying what just happened, my body still buzzing from his touch. By the time I pulled into my driveway, I was grinning like a teenager who'd just had her first kiss.
Once I got back home, Darby was walking towards the front door with a knowing smile.
“Oh, you had that man fucking on the clock.”
I walked around her with a smirk.
“And,” I yelled over my shoulder as I rushed upstairs to shower.
I could hear her sayingYassssin the distance, causing me to laugh. I still can’t believe I almost talked myself out of that.
SUNDAY DINNER…
Ilooked down at my watch once more. I had already dropped Esa off at my parents’ place. I had a feeling Yara was going to act as if she didn’t have any clothes in her closet. It seemed even when we made small runs, she couldn’t find the right thing to wear.
I don’t know who she was trying to impress; my parents weren’t going to give a damn, she could bet that. I liked her in anything, but at this point, I knew saying that wouldn’t matter not one bit.
“Baby, why are you acting like you’ve never met my parents?” I asked.
She was deep in her closet when she stepped out in a red dress that clung to her waist and ass. She did a spin in front ofme, and I almost reached out to bite the bottom of her ass cheek. She almost had me barking in this bitch.
“What do you think of this one? You know what, no. I see the look in your eyes. If I wear this, your parents and Veronica’s parents are going to wonder why you have a harlot around Esa.”
I burst into laughter, then covered my mouth to try to catch it. This damn woman was off the chain. She groaned and then walked back into the closet.
“They definitely wouldn’t have thought you were a harlot, baby. But they definitely would have seen how fat that ass is.” I pointed out.
She peeked around the corner with a frown.
“I’m glad you’re taking this as a joke, Desmond. I just want to make a good first impression.”
“For who? My parents already met you.” I told her.
“Not as your girlfriend, they haven’t, and this is also my first time meeting Veronica’s parents. Not to mention, I don’t need to be wearing anything distracting when it’s not about me. Oh, brown, casual. I think I know what I should wear.”
“Late is an impression, too. So wrap it up, baby.”
I laid back against her bed and closed my eyes briefly. I didn’t want to say it aloud, but I was just as nervous as Yara about tonight. It had nothing to do with my parents meeting her and everything to do with how Veronica’s parents reacted to Esa.
Esa has only ever known my parents. It’s not like I didn’t let her know who they were. She also understood the reason she didn’t see them was because they were having a hard time without their daughter. I remember the day I had to have that conversation with Esa.
She couldn’t understand why some of the kids in her school had two. I guess they had a grandparent’s chat with the kids at Yara’s academy. They even explained that sometimes kids hadonly one set of grandparents. It made sense when Esa came home asking about her mother’s parents.
I had to explain it to her as if they were on an emotional vacation, and when they came back, they would come to see her. In her eyes, they had been on vacation this whole time. I didn’t even tell her they were coming today. I didn’t want to disappoint her if they didn’t show up.
“Okay, I think this is it,” Yara said, interrupting my thoughts.
I sat up in bed and smiled at the sight of her. This was the Yara I fell for.
She wore a pair of blue jeans with a nice brown shirt, flats, and her hair was in a ponytail, with a few curled pieces hanging in her face. While wearing a pair of dangly gold earrings. I stood from the bed and walked a few steps to kiss her.
