Page 19 of If I Gave You My Heart
"Damn girl, you don't play when it comes to eating."
I grabbed a nearby napkin to clean my face. Just as I was about to give Adonis his props on his grilling skills, moaning sounds from above our heads started.
"Uhhhh… fuck…"
I bunched my eyebrows in disgust and then looked up to the second story, where the noises were coming from.
"Well damn, they ain't waste no time," Adonis said before taking a bite of one of the ribs.
I sighed in annoyance because all I wanted was my bed. I yawned and didn't even mean to.
"Looks like you're staying here for the night, pretty lady. You can have my bed. I'll sleep on the couch."
I really wasn't down for staying, but I was already too damn drunk for the thirty-five-minute drive back to the house. Talia was a lightweight, so I knew she was done for if I was three sheets in the wind.
"You sure? I can sleep on the couch and be good."
"Girl, I'm from the trenches. A damn couch is a privilege. I'm good," he reassured.
Adonis quickly wiped his hand and mouth and then stood from his seat. He held his hand out to help me up from my seat. At first, he seemed mean, but he really was a gentleman at heart. I didn't know who had a hand in raising him, but I wanted to meet them to thank them personally because they had instilled qualities in him that these niggas nowadays were not walking around with.
I grabbed Adonis' tatted hand and allowed him to lead the way. I followed him up the stairs, and then we walked toward the first door in front of the stairs.
The loud music and moans could be heard from the only closed door on the second level. When we walked past an open door to head for his room, I saw it was the bathroom. I broke our locked hands to walk to the restroom, but he called after me.
"The toilet in there is clogged. I gotta look at it tomorrow, so you'll have to use the bathroom downstairs."
I thought about just holding my pee because I hated stairs, but the liquor was sitting on my bladder heavily. "Aight, be right back."
I rushed down the stairs and then went to the half bath on the first level Dom had pointed out earlier in the day to handle my business. As I was walking back up the stairs, I saw Adonis patiently waiting at the top for me.
Seeing him standing there waiting for me had my delusional ass thinking how he would look waiting for me at the end of an altar.
"You good, gang?"
So muthafucking hood.I smirked as I thought to myself. I just shook my head up and down to let him know I was straight.
The door to Adonis' room was cracked. When he pushed it open, I was impressed with his setup. He had a chocolate bedroom set with this big ass bed. On the wall where his television hung was this ugly ass green color. I could tell that was his accent wall because the rest of the walls in the room were colored white. Talia had that same weird-ass green in the bedroom that was now mine in her house. Seeing that hideous ass color reminded me that I had to have someone paint my room white.
"This is nice," I complimented. "So, is this where all the magic happens?"
"No," he quickly answered. "The remote to the TV is on the nightstand, and my iPhone charger is plugged into that wall over there. Goodnight."
Before I could respond, Adonis had walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.Well, damn,I thought to myself once I was left alone in the room. I was too tired and drunk to even address whatever that was that had just happened. I took my gun out of my purse and placed it under one of the pillows before getting into the bed and attempting to get comfortable.
Adonis
"These muthafuckas are going like some rabbits," I whispered to myself as I tried to get comfy on the couch in the living room.
I could hear the rocking of the bed above my head. Just hearing it made me think about how I hadn't gotten any since I left Lima. Being so preoccupied with trying to get some money, the thought of pussy hasn't been on my mind. I wasn't even in any bitches' faces since I moved down here. I wasn't up when I first moved down here, and I'm sure it showed in how I carried myself, so the females down here were taking their time with dogging me.
Bitches were out here losing their minds for hot girl summer, and that was cool. I give myself a couple more months to have my shit together. Fuck boy fall was approaching, and I was headlining the shit. I had something for all the women that wouldn't even look my way. I was driven to prove a point, so entertaining a female was the last thing on my mind.
Now that Nyoka, she was something, though. I don't get that weird ass feeling in my stomach when I meet most females. I can probably count on one hand how many of them gave me that butterfly feeling, and Nyoka was definitely one of them.
She was pretty, fun-sized, thick, and she could drink her ass off. Me and her ass were having a ball while Dom and Talia were tucked away being sluts. We took turns playing DJ, and surprisingly, we had the same taste in music. She was putting me on to some New York shit I hadn't heard before. I was lowkey salty that she was drunk as fuck and tired because I missed her company. I wanted to learn more about her because I wasn't given the chance with us turning up and all. I tried to busy myself with my phone as I tossed and turned on the couch. I had a little blanket and pillow but couldn't find my comfortable spot. It was funny to me because the couch I was having difficulty getting comfortable on was my bed for four months before setting up my room.
"You can't sleep either?"
