Page 74 of Awakening
“Damn,” Knox muttered, whistling low.
“You’ll never guess who my biological father is, though,” I muttered, still in disbelief.
Bother Knox and Ajaih had their brows raised as Ajaih anxiously asked, “Who?”
“Senator Malcolm fucking Everett.”
Shocked registered on their faces in tandem, “This shit is like a Tyler Perry movie. ‘Can’t keep it in his pants, Everett’ is your pops? Gahdamn,” Knox chortled, making me and Ja laugh.
“Apparently so,” I nodded, “But the real shocker? My parents and JJ are moving here. Like to Winston Hills.”
Ajaih gasped, “Wait, what?”
“Deadass. JJ took an engineering job here, and my parents said being close was the first step in showing they actually give a damn. I cried like a bitch in the therapist’s office. Ugly tears, nose running, voice quivering, and everything.”
Knox smiled and leaned over to kiss my cheek, “Proud of you, babe.”
Ajaih hopped off the counter, coming to where I was, and jumped into my lap, cupping my face gently, kissing my lips as I rubbed her soft thighs. “That’s big, Mav. I’m proud of them for honoring you and taking the steps toheal what they broke. You deserve to heal and feel whole.”
“Thanks, y’all,” I mumbled against her lips, “But uh… speaking of big things…”
Ajaih narrowed her eyes, “Uh oh.”
Knox sipped his coffee like a shady housewife on Bravo, “Here we go…”
“I ran into Yanna last night during the shift I was covering. She had an emergency surgery, and we ended up grabbing something to eat on our break.”
Their heads snapped toward me in unison.
“And?” Ajaih asked slowly.
“Andddd, we had an amazing convo. She talked about being offered Chief of Staff. I talked about maybe going back to school to become a cardiologist.”
“You’re gonna do it?” Knox asked, excited, Ajaih’s face shining with pride, “I’m thinking hard on it. And she’s down to help me through it all.”
“That’s dope,” Ajaih smiled, “But I feel like there’s more…”
I exhaled dramatically, “So the whole time we’re talking, I’m staring at her like a puppy who just wants to sniff her and lay in her lap. We’re flirting back and forth and I tell her if she keeps playing with me, I was gone fuck her in my truck. Her fine ass tells me to make her a believer, so…after I paid the tab… in my truck…”
Knox straightened like he’d been electrocuted. “Don’t you fucking say it.”
“Oh, I’m saying it. I let Dr. Layanna Black give me the ride of my fucking life in the backseat like I was in a damn scene from Fast & Curious.”
Ajaih snorted coffee coming out of her nose, “Fast & Curious?!”
“Deadass,” I said, grinning, “Sweet as pie, smells like heaven, fucks like she’s been doing stunt work in adult films for a decade. I see why every damn body we know is half in love with her. She’s like…if a cinnamon rolls was an M.D. and could make you cum in 5 minutes flat.”
“Completely in love,” Ajaih corrected, “You standing there dreamy-eyed as we speak,” her laughter echoing through the room like my favorite song.
Knox dropped his mug onto the counter, thankfully empty, before clutching his heart. “I wanna experience cinnamon roll M.D. back-breaking sex! This shit ain’t fair.”
“That’s not even the best part,” I boasted.
“I don’t wanna hear shit else, nigga,” Knox said jokingly, “I’m lying, go head, tell us the rest.”
“After we cum, I find myself staring at her pretty ass feet, and next thing I know she got me moaning like a bitch as she gives me a foot job. I cum all over her feet, and she bends over and licks my cum all off her feet and moans in satisfaction. I—I almost brought her home so we could fuck her to sleep. Fuck,” I recalled, my dick starting to get hard.
Ajaih and Knox both looked at me with their mouths hanging open, lust washing over their faces. “Damn.” They said in unison.
