Frowning, I stepped directly in his line of vision because he had been doing this shit the entire afternoon. I was cool with it at first because I had some facial creams and body butters to whip up, but now it was time for him to show me some attention.
“Kehlani.” He frowned.
“Javyous.”
Sighing, he shook his head and pulled the headset off, tossing it to the side. He powered the game off next. I smiled and held the cards up in front of him again.
“Spoiled ass,” he mumbled. “Fuck is this?”
“A date night idea I found on TikTok. Pick.”
Laughing, he eyed the cards trying to decide which to choose.
One readDrive thru - your choice, the other readDine in - my choice.
Leaning forward, he snatched the bottom card and looked at me.
“How are you taking me on a date, but the restaurant is your choice?” he fussed.
“Because I’m planning. Now choose.”
The two new cards readdress upordress down.
This time he grabbed the card on top. We both smiled at each other before I grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the couch.
“Come on, we have reservations in an hour.”
“How?” He laughed as I pulled him along. “You didn’t even know what I was going to choose.”
“I kind of did which is why I went ahead and started to get ready. I’m dressing in Jocey’s room, so hurry.”
“Wait, why?” he asked after pulling me into his arms and raining kisses down my neck.
“Because of this… move, Javyous,” I whined. “We have reservations.”
“I’m not hungry for food.”
“I am,” I responded, trying to wiggle free from his arms. “Your baby is hungry.”
He paused and scowled at me.
“Why you have to go there?”
“It’s true.” I laughed. “Now hurry.”
I rushed into Jocey’s room and locked the door to keep him out. I didn’t think that he would try anything in her room, but that was just to be on the safe side. I had already done my makeup, so all I really need to do was dress and fix my curls. I’d gotten my hair blown out by Sheniq, one of the best hair stylists in Crescent Falls, so I had her pin curl it so my curls would last.
I slipped into the tight-fitting, silk, red dress that I’d gotten from The Shops at the Falls. Javyous loved the color red, so I wanted to wear it for him. He claimed to like any color on me, but I saw how his eyes lit up any time I wore red.
After dressing, I went into Jocey’s bathroom and started on my hair. I pulled all of the pins out of my head and used my fingers to rake through the curls. They came out big and perfect; just how I wanted them.
I applied some red lipstick followed by a coat of gloss then grabbed my black, strappy heels. I gave myself a once over in the full length mirror that sat in the corner of her room. My stomach was still nonexistent since it was early in my pregnancy and I was glad. I wanted to still be able to wear whatever I wanted without a belly interrupting it for as long as possible.
Javyous was knocking at the door, which meant time was up. I was done dressing anyways, so I walked over and pulled the door opened. My breath got caught in my throat seeing him dressed in a black, slim-fitting suit with a red dress shirt under it that complemented my dress perfectly.
“You look good as a mothafucka, Lani,” he said, breaking the silence that surrounded us.
“You too.” I grinned, pushing out of his arms when I felt him getting too touchy. My phone vibrated, letting me know that the car I’d ordered from iDrive was outside.
