Page 21 of Regancy & Savior
Once I walked back into the living room, Kale was showing Savior something on her iPad before she looked up at me. “You always say I’m the late one, Mommy, but we were just waiting on you.”
“Don’t blame ya’ mama, Baby K. That one was on me. She was doing me a favor.” Savior looked up at me, licking his lips.
I went to fetch my purse without another word. I was too busy clenching my thighs together because I, for sure, knew what he did with that tongue, and he did it well. A man like him would definitely be the death of me.
SAVIOR
Usually by then, I would’ve lost interest or moved along when it came to a woman, but at that point, that wasn’t the case. Ever since that weekend with Regancy, I wanted more. Something about waking up next to her beautiful ass made me feel like I wasn’t wasting my time. Matter of fact, falling asleep with her cuddled up next to me was enough to have me murdering every nigga who looked in her direction. Somehow, she had become apeaceful space that I didn’t know I was looking for until it wasn’t in my reach. There were plenty of nights that I found myself about to go knock on her door, but I stopped before I could. I didn’t want anything serious, and she was serious. I liked my lifestyle the way it was, and I saw how shit like that went. Niggas met that one bitch, and every-fucking-thing changed. Then before a nigga could look up, he was like six kids and a dog in.Why am I even thinking about this shit?I had to chuckle at myself as I stood back and watched her daughter go from dog crate to crate. For a nigga who didn’t wanna get swallowed up, I found myself doing shit that I didn’t normally do. The fucked-up thing about it was the fact that instead of fighting shit like I wanted to, I enjoyed it. I liked the vibe that shorty had, and I liked her kid, even though I’d only been in her presence a few times. Her daughter was like a mini version of her, and it was hard to even think about the fact that her child was a product of something fucked up happening in her life. From one glance, I could tell that she had a deep ass love for her child, and that alone made her even stronger. She had a certain strength in her that most people only dreamed about. Somehow, some way, I was drawn to it and wanted nothing more than to be in her space. What would’ve been a day of nonstop work and reckless sex to top it off now belonged to her and her baby girl.
Once baby girl picked out her little ugly ass dog, we dropped her off with her grandmother, who gave Regancy an earful before letting her leave. I picked up on the unfamiliarity between them, and that caught me by surprise. It was almost like they were just getting to know one another. There we both were in the back of my range with no destination in sight. She thought I was taking her home, but I didn’t plan on doing that. My time with her wasn’t up, nor did I want it to be. I ended up instructing Beck to take us to the waterfront near where my boat was docked. I didn’t plan on going anywhere, but the space was the onlyplace where everything was peaceful, yet the view wasn’t half as beautiful as she was. I glanced over at her beautiful sleeping frame. She had dozed off a few minutes after dropping Kale off, and all I could do was stare at her. My eyes and mind were both trying to find something that wasn’t perfect on that woman.I just need something to break this deep ass infatuation I have with her.I couldn’t find shit though, and that partly frustrated me. I mean, there had to be something fucked up about her, right? Big Homie didn’t make a perfect soul on the earth, and that was what my mama told me on a daily while I was coming up, but somehow, she slipped through the cracks and landed right in front of me.
“We’re here, sir.” Beck’s voice broke me from my thoughts.
I nodded and leaned over, doing something that I wanted to do since before she fell asleep. My lips covered hers, kissing her passionately until I felt her hand on the side of my face.What the fuck am I doing putting my lips on bitches all randomly and shit?
When I pulled back, I had to remind myself where we were before I spoke. “Come see something with me.”
She blinked a few times before sitting up and looking around. “I can’t do no more weekend sails with you, Sav?—”
“That’s not in the itinerary. I just wanna get to know you in a space with it just being us.” I couldn’t believe that corny shit came out of my mouth, but it had. I watched for her response before she nodded her head in agreement. Once we were out of the car, I instructed Beck to take a minute as I walked her to the dock. With her hand locked in mine, I led her onto the boat and into the cabin. She stood in the middle of the room while I went to secure us something to drink.
“You must like boats.”
I nodded and turned around, looking at her. “I do. I feel like they’re the most peaceful places to think. Gives you a peace of mind like no other while you’re surrounded by water.”
She nodded.
“I wanna get to know you,” I blurted as I walked her drink over and sipped from my own.
“Why? I’m a normal wo?—”
“That’s a damn lie. Yo’ ass is anything but.” I corrected her.
She smiled coyly before taking a seat on the white sofa a few feet from her. “I think I’ve told you everything about me, but you’ve told me nothing about yourself.” She peered at me as I took a seat across from her and set my glass on the table.
I nodded my head. “I was raised by my big mama outside of the city, but I always found myself in the city.”
“Spare me the cover story. Give me the you that you want out of me.” She set her glass on the table next to her and peered at me.
“Like what?” I asked. I’d never had anyone in my space long enough to ask the questions that had me wondering how deep they wanted to go. To be honest, I’d never wanted to go deep with anyone. As deep as she wanted to get with me, I wanted that and more from her. I wanted to know everything about Regancy—including the way she thought and every thought that traveled through her mind.What the hell is wrong with me?
“What made you the man that you are today?”
“I never knew my pops, and I guess you could say my mama abandoned my sister and I because my big mama raised us.”
She nodded her head. “Sometimes parents are a pill.” She shook her head.
“Is that why you seem like you and your mother are strangers?”
She looked at me before she brought he knees to her chest and hugged them. “We are. Before I moved back here, I hadn’t spoken to my mother in almost nine years.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because when I got raped, I kept it to myself. I was young and thought I could put it behind me if I didn’t acknowledge it. However, that was hard when, weeks later, I couldn’t keep anything down, and I felt sick to my stomach anytime I ate. She forced me to the doctor’s office, and when we found out why, she didn’t even give me a chance to explain. She went from putting her hands on me, calling me out of my name for weeks until she finally put me out. She sent me upstate to live with my father. The day I boarded the plane was the last day I spoke to my mother. The only way she found out about what actually happened was my father. He and his wife were my support system. So when I got back here, my father asked that I make amends with my mama. So yeah, our relationship is fairly new, and I don’t spend much time with her, because I feel odd around her. Kale loves her though, so I’d never stand in the way of their relationship.”
I nodded, seeing the imaginary crown on her beautiful head.Where the fuck had this woman come from, and who the hell sent her to me?“Come here,” I demanded.
“No. I just got comfortable.” She smirked a little.
