“Hey, Drek. How was work?”

She leaned in with her lips puckered for a kiss. That surprised me. I kissed those pink-glossed lips, then said, “It was good. Even better now. You feel me?”

“Hell yeah, boo. I can’t wait to really feel you.”

I gave her a one-cheeked smile as she drove off, then grabbed her hand and kissed it while she smiled. She seemed so happy, happier than the previous two days. Hopefully, I had something to do with that. “You hungry?” she asked.

“Like a hostage.”

She laughed. “What you wanna eat?”

“Besides you?”

Vashti blushed. It made me smile. She played so hard when we first met, but now, she seemed like this innocent girl that was in love for the first time. “Yeah, besides me.”

She licked her lips, and I could tell she was turned on. Even with a bra on, those nipples had made an appearance to greet me. I lightly rubbed my finger over the one closest to me, and her face reddened. “You like K-Asian? I like their shrimp.”

“I don’t know. I’ve never eaten there, but I’m willing to check ‘em out.”

“If you like seafood, you’ll like it.”

“I do.”

It was only about a mile from the car wash. She parked in the small parking lot and hopped out before I could get to her door. “I was coming to open your door.” She blushed again. “Why you blushing so much, lil mama?”

“I don’t know,” she said, waving me off.

I smirked, then held the door open for her fine ass. There were a few people inside waiting on their orders and all of their attention landed on Queen Vashti. I looked her name up, and the first thing that popped up was Queen Vashti in the Bible. She was banished, because she refused to appear at a banquet the king had requested for her to be at. Sounded like something my Vashti would do.My Vashti.That shit sounded good, even in my thoughts.

When we got to the counter, she ordered what she wanted, then I ordered mine. We sat at one of the tables as I peeped a nigga drooling over her from the corner of my eye. So long as he didn’t say anything, I’d play it cool. She wasn’t mine… yet. “Drek?”

“What’s up?”

“I applied for a job today at St. Elizabeth.”

“That’s good. Good luck.”

I licked my lips and grabbed her hand, and she blushed again. “A’ight, what’s up, girl? Talk to me.”

“What’chu mean?”

“You been blushing since I got in the car wit’ chu.”

She lowered her head. “I guess… I mean…” She took a deep breath. “I like you.”

“I like you too, Vashti.”

She lifted her head and stared at me. “Plus, you please me so well.”

“Oh yeah?” I grabbed her other hand. “You please me too, lil mama.”

She said in a hushed voice, “I’ve never squirted before.”

My eyebrows had risen in shock. As sexual as she seemed to be, I thought that was normal for her. She didn’t seem to be surprised when it happened. “Really? Don’t be puttin’ all that helium in my balloon.”

She laughed. “I ain’t never been one to gas nobody up. So, that’s why I’m blushing so much. You take my body places it’s never been.”

“Damn, Vashti, for real? I thought it was just me. So, what’s up? Where we gon’ take this?”
