I got to the bar just in time for my drink. The fellas had ordered a round, and I was happy. I needed this straight and fast. I knew me and if I didn’t calm down, I would be back at that restaurant. My pregame buzz was gone, so I took the shot straight to the head.The music was blasting, and I was feeling it. We headed to the dancefloor. I didn’t want to kill the vibe, so I danced to the music. We were standing off to the side but still dancing, and having a good time, until I saw her. This had to be someone’s sick idea of a joke. She was on the dancefloor with the same guy. They must’ve been on a date. Maybe that was her man, and if so, I had made a complete fool of myself. But my heart didn’t believe that. I could feel it; it was something more to it, to us. I watched as they danced, wishing it was me. I paid attention to her body movements, and his hands. The way they danced could tell the whole story.After the song was over, they went back to their table. He left, and she was si
Eve…I awakened to an empty apartment. I had no idea when, but Janet and Marshall left. I stretched and looked around for my phone. I had no clue what time it was. I do know I had a good time last night. Immediately the thoughts of all that happened came fluttering back. I smiled at the thought. I thought it was a dream, but I knew better. I never drank enough not to remember things that went on. I was definitely with Black last night. I definitely danced with him, and he definitely said that Stu was temporary. I smiled again, Mr. Black was talking heavy last night, and I was all in.I found my phone just in time to hear it ringing. Looking at the clock, I had slept until almost noon, wow. It was Mrs. Schaeffer, so I answered immediately. “Hello Mrs. Schaeffer, is something wrong?” “Hi Eve dear. No nothing is wrong but I do need you to do me a favor. I seemed to have left my phone on my desk. It is no worry for me to get it before Monday, but if it wouldn’t be too much trouble do you
He nestled down into my neck as he sang in my ear. I could hear his soul cry in his voice. So, I pulled him in tighter, letting him know he was safe with me. “Yes”, I kept saying to him, as I stroked the back of his head. He began kissing my neck and before I knew it the song had gone off and come back on as his face slid up to mine. He looked at my lips, asking for permission as his jaw clinched…so sexy. I looked at his lips, bit my lip and looked back into his eyes. He low moaned and I was spent. He gripped tighter as he brought his lips to mine. His tongue immediately invaded my mouth. It was like candy, as I tossed it around in my mouth. It was perfect. His hands ran through the curls in the back of my hair as he tugged softly. He licked down my neck and came back up to stare into my eyes.He began walking back to the couch, pulling me with him. He sat down and put his head into my stomach. It was like he was the one who couldn’t believe it as he shook his head from side to side.
I woke up a few hours later, refreshed. I looked at my phone to see what time it was. There were several text messages. I had slept like a rock because the chiming would usually wake me. One from Janet who was supposed to be coming over for the cooking class, which she cancelled. She was going out with Billy, figures. One was from Stu, asking was I good. He knew I was spending Saturday to myself as I always did. I felt bad, I would text him back later. I had two from an unknown number. The first one said, “I’m sorry.” The second one said “I miss you already.” Butterflies started to flutter in my stomach. It was him, I could feel it but I couldn’t respond, although I wanted to. All the feelings came back; and I was doing so well. I read them about six more times as I moved through the rest of my day.I got all my stuff together for this online class. I needed a distraction, and this was perfect. I turned my music on and grabbed my apron. We were making Chicken Marsala. I poured my w
We sat down and he looked at my now cold dinner sitting on the table. He looked from it to me and back to it. He busted out laughing and I looked down at the table then back to him, trying to figure out what was so funny. “I am sorry. You are not going to believe me, but I had that same thing for dinner.” I was a part of this cooking class with Chef Anna” we both said in unison. He pointed to me and we both laughed. “Yeah, I was in the class today also.” I smiled and he rubbed his chin with his index finger. “Hmmm. So, we were together in class today huh?” “I guess you could say that.” We sat in silence for a minute.“Okay, so what was so important that you needed to see me?” He broke out of thought and said “I just needed to see you.”“Okay, so you’ve seen me.” I tried to hold a serious face but he looked pitiful, so I laughed. He said “oh you got jokes?” I shrugged my shoulders and we both laughed again. “So, what are we watching?” I took a double take. Was he about to chill in my ti
After breakfast, we spent time laughing and talking. He was a normal dude, nothing like I imagined. We talked about light stuff, but I was still too afraid to ask the big question. I didn’t want to know but then again, I did. What if he said no, and thought I was crazy? Or what if he said yes, then we both would be crazy...right? I didn’t know what to do, so I did nothing! After some time, he decided to go home to get showered and dressed. He wanted to see me later but I let him know that he had already interrupted my me time. I was used to spending Sundays meditating, regrouping and resting. He appreciated it, and left.I called my Momma, because I needed her to know I was okay. “Hey Momma, how are you?” “Well, well, well. Look who decided to call their Momma back.” We both laughed. “Sorry, it has been crazy these past few days. I got to meet and talk to him. His name is indeed Adam Ma, but I was too scared to ask him.” “Scared? You? I have never heard those words come out of your mo
I tossed and turned all night. It was the worse sleep I have ever had in my life. I saw her when I shut my eyes and when I opened them. I talked to my mom and God when I got home last night. But it still didn’t stop her from flooding my mind. I was still laying there, looking at the ceiling and thinking of her. Enough, get up man and get yourself together. I rolled out of bed and hit the shower. After getting cleaned up, I was ready for a run. Running always made me feel better. The cool air would do me some good. I jogged my way right to the job. I had some lose ends to tie up, but I didn’t feel much like working. Although maybe some work would refocus me, because I was all over the place. I knew needed a distraction, and my cooking class wasn’t until later. But being home wasn’t the move.I walked in and immediately wanted to go up to her office. “No, that was not the plan.” I tried to convince myself. I was supposed to be trying to take my mind off of her, and all my heart wanted w
She nodded and I pulled her down onto me. I grabbed her head and began to kiss her with intention, as we continued to move to the music. I wasn’t about to hold back. She needed to understand exactly what this was and who’s she was. I wanted no doubt about how I felt. The intensity was too much and we ended up climaxing, it was uncontrollable.She laid in my arms as I looked at her in wonder. She had no idea how long I’d waited for her. I had spent so much time alone, unable to give all this love to somebody because they weren’t her, now she was here. God really made someone just for me. He literally dropped her in my lap, now she was in my arms. I was grateful. A tear came to my eye as I praised God in my head. She held me tighter as I thanked God over and over in a low tone. She immediately jumped up, grabbed her bag and ran out. I called for her but she kept going. By the time I got to the elevator, the door closed in my face.I had no idea what happened, and although I wanted to go
