“Hey baby, I’m outside,” I sang into the receiver.
“Okay, coming to get you. Stay in the car.” I smiled at him being determined to open my door for me. This time around I had the best lover.
As soon asthe call ended, Courtland rushed to my door, opening it wide, holding his hand out for me.
My arms immediately locked around his neck, exhaling the second his arms welcomed me home, burying my face into his chest.
“Ay, baby you good?” I shook my head because I wasn’t. Between life with Quincey and now the news from Nas, I didn’t see a way out.
“C’mon. I got you.” He went to close the door, then I remembered the treats from the bakery.
“Wait, I brought snacks.” He smiled, then held me close and leaned into the car, getting the box and my purse.
We got inside and made our way to the kitchen where he grabbed an ice cream scoop and a container of caramel walnut ice cream from the freezer, making me chuckle.
“You really saying fuck my diet, huh?”
“Hell yeah. I told you. I want all of your calories to keep everything the same. Plus, we can’t have cake without ice cream. It’s a law and I don’t break the law.” I swallowed hard as I let out a nervous laugh and my eyes stretched wide at his words.
Heffa, calm the hell down. He don’t know anything yet.
I cleared my throat that still held a small lump in the back. I was nervous as hell. “You don’t even know what’s in the box.”
“Doesn’t matter. Cookies, cakes, brownies, and pie all follow the same rules. Now, while I set us up, talk to me.” While Courtland opened the box to the assortment of brownies, I blew out a breath and then began to share my whole life story.
Ten minutes later and two brownies gone, all he did was shrug.
So I followed suit.
“What does that mean?”
“It means it’s my turn. I didn’t want you handling this shit yourself anyway. All this told me is that he’s a dirty bitch and it’s time for me to get in the field. Once I’m in the house, it’ll beeasier for me to move around and get what I need. All I need you to do is act normal.”
“Once you’re in? He hasn’t even mentioned hiring you yet.”
“To you. He has an appointment set up. I’m sure it’s about getting some people on you or him. Either way, I’ma make sure I take the job.”
My head shook as I laughed humorlessly.
“First my lawyer said to let shit play out and now you’re telling me to act normal. It’s hard when I’m the one getting notes and threats like this.” I dug out the picture again, this time passing it to Courtland.
He looked at it and snorted.
“Baby, do you trust me?” he asked as he moved between my legs.
“Of course I do. I literally just bared my soul. You know more than anyone in my life.”
“Then trust me to handle this. All I need my queen to do is to focus on regionals coming up. And finally giving me my hug.” That had me tucking my bottom lip until he picked me up, causing me to scream from excitement. We moved to the living room where I was placed on the couch.
“Chief!” His mouth moved to my neck as my legs parted into a V, making space to fit him. The moment his hard dick tapped my pussy, I gasped while he began to trail kisses down my neck to my chest.
“Ah, wait baby.” I barely got the words out before Courtland’s hands were inside my leggings, going below my waist, sliding into my panties.
“Why? So you can prolong what we both said we needed today? I’m not waiting on shit but for you to finally let me lead as your man so I can bring you home with me where you belong.”
His fingers pushed inside, hooking me deep, while his thumb pressed against my clit, working her gently at the same time.My breathing became heavy and loud as I tossed my head back, allowing him to take me there.
When coolness hit my legs, I looked down to see Courtland was now removing my pants, taking my panties with him.
