After dinner, we had both showered and retreated to his bed, where he stood at the foot looking like a full-on creep. I couldn’tkeep my attention on him though. I was too annoyed by the cool air blowing through the fan at the foot of his bed. It was sure to give me the sniffles by morning.
“Can you turn the fan off tonight, Taurus?” I asked. I didn’t understand his point of having the fan on when he made sure the central air kept his house in the frigid temperatures.
“Hell nah. That’s the only way I sleep, baby. If I don’t have my fan on, then I’ma wake up with a nosebleed because I get hot as fuck in my sleep, and you refuse to sleep yo’ ass on yo’ side.” He cut the lights out and crawled into bed with me.
I smiled in the dark.My side.
“How are you cold under all these covers, baby girl? It ain’t that cold in here,” he murmured, getting comfortable.
“How? You have your house on sixty-seven all day, every day. It’s hard to believe anything in here gets hot.” I tried to bury my body under all his covers because I was borderline freezing at that point.
“Yo’ ass is dramatic. It ain’t even that fucking cold.” He got under the cover and pulled my body into his. We just fit, and believe it or not, in that moment, my path had never been so clear. I wanted to be with the man who made me feel so comfortable being myself that it was impossible to be anything else. The man who made me feel secure just by draping his arm around me and pulling me near. I wanted to be with that man, and I wanted to create nothing but memories with him.
“I wanna be with you,” I said in a slight murmur while my head rested on his chest, listening to the beat of his heart.
“You’re already with me. Unless it’s something you haven’t told me.”
I smiled. “I am?”
He sat up and forced me to fall back against the pillow before he hovered over my face. “Woman, you been mine ever since you let me put my lips on you in that parking lot.” He pressed his fulllips against mine with a smirk. Then he pulled back. “Now I’m just wondering if I gotta knock a certain tax attorney off.”
I could see the smile on his face. He almost looked crazy the way he peered at me before his lips closed in on mine. There was no better feeling than the one I felt right then.
CHAPTER
SEVEN
SAVIOR
I’d never been so entrancedby a fucking soul, but Regancy was different. Though I moved ahead and made the shit exclusive, it didn’t even feel that way. Besides the obvious fucking expectations, the shit was easy. Hell yeah, I still looked at other bitches and admired them. What nigga didn’t? Shit, to be honest, I hadn’t seen a female as bad as or even close to Regancy. She told me I only thought that because I was between her legs every night, but I disagreed. Even when I wasn’t between her legs, I still believed she was bad as fuck. Then the fact that she was a lil’ nutty bricked me up every time. I was one of those niggas that stayed away from the females with the crazy eyes, but that shit was different with Regancy. It was so fucking different that she had me doing shit that I would never. She had me out there like a bitch holding this ugly ass dog’s leash while she took lil’ mama into the ice cream parlor to get a scoop or two. I looked down at the little ugly motherfucker and shook my head. What child took their ass into a pet shop and picked out a French bulldog? Most lil’ girls wanted those lil’ fluffy high-maintenance ass dogs, but not Kale. She got that lil’ smush-facedmotherfucker and had the nerve to name him Bernard. I swear she was funny just like her fucking mama.
“You sure you didn’t want any?” Regancy walked out of the parlor with a milkshake while lil’ mama had an ice cream cone that was too damn big for her.
“Nah. I’ma just drink yo’ shit.” I grabbed the cup and passed her the leash.
She giggled. “Did he do anything while we were in there.” She looked down at mush face.
I shrugged my shoulders. “How should I know? I wasn’t all in his business.”
She mugged me momentarily before lil’ mama got her attention.
“Mama, Bernard is using it,” Kale squealed.
I cracked up laughing at the expression that plagued Regancy’s face as Kale held out the bag.
“Nope. That’s your dog.”
“But Mama you call him your other child, and I have ice cream.”
“Fine.” Regancy had the funniest, pissed-off expression as she picked up the dog shit with the little bags and disposed of it. Then it was comical the way she hauled ass back home to wash her hands. First, she was talking about how nice a walk in the park would be, but she was like fuck that walk.
Once we reached her place, Kale immediately dragged her mush-faced ass dog back to her room while Regancy was in the washroom most likely scrubbing her hands raw. I never thought I’d be the type of nigga to get used to shit like that and actually like it, but then again, there was always that moment in my life where I was reminded of who I was.
The moment my phone rang, I pulled it out and glanced at it. Of course it was Taurus calling, and something in me waspraying that it didn’t have shit to do with work. I pressed talk and put the phone to my ear. Before I could even speak, he did.
“I know you’re on your family man shit and all of that, but some shit just went down. Time to pick up a glizzy and blow off some steam over at Che’s.” Once he finished his sentence, he hung up, not even giving me the chance to respond. I needed to get my ass to Che’s.
“Why do you look so tense?” Regancy’s voice interrupted me from my deep thoughts before I stood.
