That forced a smile on her face. “Okay, Jayshun.”
Jay kept glancing over at Candi like he was the luckiest man in the world. She sat in his passenger seat, controlling the music and making videos. Her pretty toes were propped up on the dashboard and her seat was pushed to the backseat. They’d stopped and gotten snacks and drinks after going to her house to pack a bag. She looked so cute popping M&Ms in her mouth without a care in the world.
“I might need to call Jolene and tell her that her son is a creep,” she joked, catching his eyes on her.
His chin jerked back. “Oh, I’m a creep?” His brows rose as if he were implying something. Pointing at his chest, he asked again. “Me? I’m the creep? The creep you was begging to fu—”
“Jayshun!” Candi’s hands shot to her triangle-shaped face, looking for cover.
“Nah.” He laughed, slapping her hand down. “Let me see that pretty ass face.”
Cold air swept against her body at the sexual tone of his voice. Thoughts of him releasing all over her face created moisture in her panties.
Seeing the effects of his words, a cocky smirk displayed on his face. “But I’m the creep.” He nodded, watching her unravel.
Being with Jay felt like she was born again. Like no one before him existed and it was all just a figment of her imagination. The woman she was before rehab seemed to be just as unreal as everything else. Jay gave her a feeling of being renewed and free. He made her feel soft, feminine, womanly, and most of all, worthy. It had her figuring out who she was since it was clear that the girl she’d been showing up as in the world wasn’t the real her.
“What you thinking about?” Jay asked, seeing her go inside her head. He’d started to learn about her over the last two days together. It wasn’t hard because it came to him easily when it came to Candi.
Adjusting her body, she turned her body toward him. “You and how unreal you seem.”
“How?”
“You’re perfect.” Her soft hand ran down the side of his face. She traced the tattoo that sat just above his right brow.
Swallowing hard, Jay didn’t agree. “That’s all you.”
“Now I know you bullshitting.” Her head fell back with a scoff-like laugh.
“I feel perfect to you because you make me want to be perfect for you,” Jay explained just as they crossed the state line.
He’d been driving for about two hours, which meant he had another hour to go before he was pulling up to his country abode. He couldn’t wait to experience it with Candi. It had been a while since he’d been back home and couldn’t wait to see his family.
“See. It's shit like that, Jayshun. You can’t say stuff like that and expect me not to fall,” she fussed, pulling her phone out to change the music. Future was currently talking about waiting for someone and she was ready to change the mood.
He lifted her hand to his lips. “It ain’t me. It's you, Magic.”
“Whatever. I know one thing; Jolene made a smooth-talking ass son. I bet you get it from your daddy too.”
He laughed at that. “Shit, I don’t know. That nigga got three kids and three baby mamas,” Jay said.
“How many you got?”
He thought about his little situation but couldn’t claim that baby since he knew for a fact it wasn’t his. “None.”
“Now, I find that hard to believe.” Candi kissed her teeth. “What happened with you and…” She didn’t even want to say Luna’s name. She was a big deal.
He laughed. “You can say her name. She is just a person like you and me.”
“Shit,” she sang. “Like the whole family is goals. They just scream black excellence and cult. Like, if you think wrong, they’ll send someone to your door.”
Now that had him cracking up. “They good people but nothing to fear.”
“Well, tell me about that situation. I feel like I’ve been telling you all my business and you ain’t told me anything.” Candi curled her legs under her butt, ready to hear everything he had to say. She wanted to know everything about him. Wanted to know things no one else knew.
“What you want to know?”
“Nigga, everything.” She bucked her eyes.
