Page 45 of You Make Me Feel

“What kind of questions?”

He slowly reached out and grabbed her hand, and she allowed it. “Just about how he chose someone else. He knows you love him, right?”

She nodded and willingly went with him while I took a deep breath. This could have ended in a totally different way. One or both of us could have been dead. The officer led her to his car while the other officer approached me to find out what happened. I told him all the details of my involvement with her and filed a restraining order. I also made him aware of what happened in Houston. As he took notes, he slowly shook his head.

I felt the exact same way. This shit just came out of nowhere. She could put a stop to it if she would take her meds. I’d often heard that it was hard as hell to get mental patients back on their medication when they’d fallen off it. I hoped they could provide her some help; somewhere she could go where they could practically dupe her into doing what she was supposed to do.

By the time they left with her in the back of their squad car, it had been over an hour since I’d first gotten home. This foolishness had left me tired as hell. Mya had drained every ounce of energy I had left. I went inside and went straight to the shower, hoping I could sleep before Kinisha called.

“Baby, I wanna come through. I can hear you’re asleep, so I’m gonna come to you.”

I sat up in bed to see it was almost eleven. After wiping my eyes and clearing my throat, I said, “Are you sure? I can get up and get to your place.”

“I’m positive. I’ve already gone home and got clothes for tomorrow.”

“Okay. Be careful, Kinisha.”

“I will. I should be there in about ten minutes.”

“Okay.”

I ended the call, then went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I’d been asleep for nearly three hours, so I knew I needed to freshen up. Then I went to the kitchen and sat at the table to wait for her. After a couple of minutes, I saw her headlights in the driveway. I briefly thought about telling her what had happened today, but when I walked outside to see how tired she looked, I decided against it.

“Hey, baby. You okay?”

“As okay as I can be.”

“Let’s get inside. Have you eaten?”

“Yes. I’m just ready to lie in your arms right now.”

I could tell that something was bothering her, but I would let her work through it in her mind without pressure. I didn’t need her stressing out and raising her blood pressure. She had another doctor’s appointment at the end of next week. The last thing I wanted was for them to put her on blood pressure medication because she was stressed.

Once we got inside, I went to the bathroom and got her lotion. When I came out, she was taking her clothes off. We always slept naked when we were together. It was the way we liked each other. Clothes were only in the way. If she woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to suck my dick, I didn’t need no drawers in the way of that. She’d done it a couple of times already.

As I watched her disrobe, my dick woke up, thinking it was his time to shine, but since she was tired, I would have to restrain myself. “Oliver, can you just do my feet? I’m so tired, I’ll probably fall asleep before you finish.”

“Of course.”

After she got in bed, I grabbed her foot and began kneading it how she liked. Her soft moans weren’t doing anything to relieve my dick of his duties. He was so hard it was becoming painful. When I finished one foot and had gone to the other, she asked, “What are your plans after work tomorrow?”

“I don’t have any. Is there something you want to do?”

“My friends from church want to meet you officially. Braylon and Ramsey. When I got to Ramsey’s, her brother was there. He used to have a thing for Kiana. She used to have to shut his ass down almost every time they saw each other. We all grew up together, though, and he had her back when she needed it most. They’ve seen you around church, but like me, they’ve never spoken to you.”

“Yeah. I don’t really make myself appear friendly. I have to work on that.”

“No, you don’t. I like the fact that people don’t know how to take you. That means they won’t try to cross you.”

I chuckled. “If you say so.”

“Iknowso. Kiana and Lazarus want to join us.”

“Sounds like a plan. Is Braylon single too?”

“No. He has a girlfriend, but he’s gonna go so Ramsey won’t feel awkward being a fifth wheel between us two couples.”
