Reclaiming my love- A that supurses time Chapter 12 - Rebound?
I move uncomfortably in the passenger seat of Kane’s car. I wish I had opted to drive to the engagement party. Charles insisted on picking me up, he thought it would be nice if we showed up together. I just didn’t bank on him bailing on me. I can’t believe he left me standing there, he embarrassed me. I move around in the seat again and Kane turns to look at me. “You’re good?” He asks looking back at the road. “I’m okay, I just need to get home and get out of this dress.” I say telling him half truth of the source of my discomfort, the dress is tight but it’s not why I’m so uncomfortable. He is. We’re so close to each other that I can smell his cologne. His scent is all around me and I know it’s going to take a long time for me to forget it. “I was hoping to show you something before I take you home.” He says stopping at a light and turning to look at me. The red light illuminates his face as he looks at me hopefully. “Do you have to show it to me tonight?” I ask looking at his fac
Reclaiming my love- A that supurses time Chapter 13 - Space
“Why are you looking at me like that?” I ask him when he hands me a glass of wine. “How am I looking at you?” He asks standing in front of me. He sits next to me waiting for me to say something. I take a sip of the wine and look at him. I can’t believe he’s playing the dumb game. He knows how he’s looking at me. I can see the lust written all over his face. I might have been out of the dating game for a long time but I can tell when a man is looking at me with lust. He needs to stop looking at me like that because I’m not sure if I can keep my hands off of him. Tonight was a very emotional for me and being here with him is adding to that emotion. I have a lot of sexual tension stored from all of the lack of sex. I was hoping Charles and I would get to the sex part but he bowed out so quickly I didn’t know what hit me. “How is your son taking to living with you?” I ask changing the subject. “He hasn’t moved in yet” He says smiling a little. “Why is that?” I ask moving a little bi
Reclaiming my love- A that supurses time Chapter 14 - Unexpected company
“What the fuck?” He says looking up at me. “Are you expecting company?” I ask looking back at him. “No.” He says but he doesn’t move to go to the check the door. “Are you going to check who it is?” I say trying to move from under him but he doesn’t move. “It’s probably my brother.” He says looking between my legs longingly. “I think I should get dressed.” I say and he looks at me sadly. “I’m going to punch whoever is at the door.” He says looking at the hallway angrily. “I’m going to hug whoever is at the door.” I say and he smiles at me. “Saved by the bell?” He asks getting up and standing straight. “Yes.” I say getting dressed. He looks at me silent for a few seconds. The door bell rings again and he groans. He heads to the door leaving me sitting on his sofa. I breathe slowly trying to come down from the charged situation we just had. A few more seconds we would have been having sex. I didn’t think that one through. Can I jump into bed with him just like that? Shouldn’t I w
Reclaiming my love- A that supurses time Chapter 15 - Morning after
“Wait, so you had sex and then you ran away?” Noni asks staring at me confused. “Did he kick you out?” She asks looking at me her face scrunched up. “No, I told you. I left.” I say and she looks at me like what the hell girl? “Was the dick that bad?” She asks looking at me like she’s really trying to figure me out. “No, it was amazing.” I say feeling goose bumps form around my whole body. We had an amazing night. He was amazing; I have never had a night like that with anyone. My body is still buzzing from the way he made me explode. “Then why did you leave at the first sign of sunlight. If it was as good as your face is telling me it was then you would have stayed. I don’t get it, what went wrong?” he says concerned now. “I got overwhelmed. He made me feel things. I opened my eyes and panic set in. I didn’t know what to do. I saw the door and I ran.” I say feeling so open and exposed; I don’t know what to do with the way she’s looking at me. She looks like she’s judging me hard. I
Reclaiming my love- A that supurses time Chapter 16 - Explanations
“Hi.” Kane says when I come back into the house. “Hi.” I say walking to sit next to him. He looks at me smiling. “I missed you when I woke up this morning.” He says looking at me his eyes filled with intensity. His voice is low and calm but I can tell he’s holding back his emotions. “I know I should have said goodbye.” I say looking away. I feel bad for leaving him like that. “Or you could have not left.” He states looking at me closely. “Why did you leave?” He asks his brow wrinkling a little. “I…” I say and then the words leave me. He looks at me confused. “I got scared.” I say remembering Noni’s advice. I need to talk to him, tell him the truth and if he can’t handle it I’ll get rid of him faster. “Why were you scared? Did I come on to you too hard? I thought you wanted to.” He says looking at me with a look of horror on his face. “It’s not that, I wanted to, last night was incredible.” I say quickly trying to stop his mind from running. I don’t want him to think that he coer
Reclaiming my love- A that supurses time Chapter 17 - History
“This looks and smells amazing.” I say sitting at the kitchen table Kane and my mother set up for our lunch. “Turns out Kane can really cook. I was just helping out.” My mother says smiling at him sweetly. They exchange a knowing look between them and I look at Kane curiously. He seems so comfortable around my mother. What happened in this kitchen in the last half an hour? “I picked up a few skills in Cuba.” He says smiling at me. “Well thank you both for making lunch.” I say smiling at both of them. “Shall I say grace?” My mother asks offering both of us her hands. “Sure.” I say taking her offered hand and bowing my head. She says the prayer and we start eating when she’s done. “Kane tells me you two have known each other for a long time.” She says and I look at Kane like what the hell dude? He looks at me confused. Why would he tell my mother that? She’s going to bring up all the times I sneaked out at night in high school. She and I would fight all the time when I sneaked out
Reclaiming my love- A that supurses time Chapter 18 - Thankful
“I wanted to thank you for allowing me to spend time with your mom.” Kane says looking up at me from his stove. “It was fun having you around. My mother can’t stop asking me about you.” I say and smile at me. “Really? I had such a time with her. I didn’t expect to enjoy her company like that.” He says and I nod in understanding. “I get that, you never know what people are like until you spend time with them.” I say and he looks at me thoughtful. He stops staring in the pot, closes it and then he looks at me in thought. “That’s not what I mean.” He says walking to sit down next to me. “Your mom made me feel like I matter. My mother died when I was young so we never got to have a relationship. And the older people I grew up around always had this air of authority and standoffishness about them. But your mom is so open; she didn’t distance herself from me.” He says looking at me closely to see if I get his meaning. “I’ve never had that before.” He says and I look at him with so many q

“Why are you so far from me?” I ask Shalom who is sitting at the edge of the bed looking at me nervously. “Come here.” I say offering my hand to her. She looks at it and then at me but she doesn’t move any closer. I can see in her eyes that she’s not sure and she’s hesitant. I know that she has some misgivings about me and my new single status. But that is not something she has to worry about. She’s who I want to be with, she’s right where she’s supposed to be. I’ve tried to let her know that everything that happened in the past has no effect on the now but she doesn’t seem to hear me. I know that it’s going to take more than words for her to trust me full and I get that I have some work to do, but I can’t lie and say that this is easy. I am holding myself back to give her the space to make her mind up about us, when all I want to do is grab her and make love to her forever. I want her so bad, every time I’m with her I wish we were naked and intertwined. My body is drawn to her,
