Page 23 of If I Gave You My Heart
I was excited about going out with Adonis. Talia and Dom had been dating since we had met them, and I was waiting for my turn.
"Where are we going so I know what to wear…"
"I'm not telling you, just wear something regular. If you have them, toss on a pair of ripped blue jeans and a white t-shirt."
"Umm, okay…"
I didn't question why he had the outfit picked out so specifically. I did know that I had both, so I could make it work.
"Did you eat yet?" he asked.
I was snacking all day, but I didn't have a meal yet, which was sad because it was damn near four in the afternoon.
"Nope."
"Okay, good. Well, be by my crib by six o'clock. Is that cool?"
"Yeah, that's cool."
"You need the address again?"
My memory was good as hell, so I had the way to his house stored in my memory just by Talia driving us the only time I had gone over there.
"Nah, I remember how to get there."
"Okay, pretty lady…"
He let his last word trail off, and for a moment, we just stared at each other, which made me smile.
"Ooooh, that girl's blushing," he teased.
"Bye, see you in a bit," I quickly said before hanging up.
I didn't even bother to fold up the blanket I had all over the couch. I had to shower, do my makeup, and then get dressed. I was excited about whatever Adonis had planned for us for the day. Since moving, if I wasn't going somewhere with Talia, then I stayed in the house. Getting out could definitely do some good. She had been gone for four days already, and I couldn't wait for her to return.
It didn't take me long to get ready, and it even took me a shorter amount of time to get to Adonis' house. As I pulled into the driveway, I parked behind a gray Charger. Adonis was sitting on the porch dressed in blue ripped jeans, a white t-shirt, and a pair of white Yeezy sneakers graced his feet. I got out of my Jeep with a smile because I now realized that he had wanted to match with me.
"Aw, you're the matching type?" I asked as I walked up the driveway.
"You're not?" he raised his eyebrow as he stood from the chair on the porch.
His robust frame hovered over my small one. He gave me a quick hug before he grabbed his keys out of the chair and then pushed a button on the key fob to start the engine.
"We taking ya car?" I asked.
"Yeah. Back your truck out and take my spot after I pull out."
"Umm, okay…"
"You good?" he quickly asked.
Adonis picked up on my being hesitant, and I appreciated that. I had a .22 in my purse, so I didn't know why my nerves were bad. I was so attached to the self-made arsenal that I had in the trunk of my vehicle.
"Yeah, I'm okay."
I walked to my Jeep and then hopped in to back it out of the driveway. It was the look he gave me as I walked away that did it for me. It was filled with lust, and depending on how the evening went, I was prepared to give him exactly what I knew he wanted. Once I pulled into the park, I got out of my car and made sure to hit the locks. Adonis was getting out of the car, which was confusing to me.
"Did you forget something?"
