“That’s right. I forgot you’re taking me to dinner.”
“No, you promised me dinner, remember?”
“Vaguely.” She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek and his insides melted. He felt like a twelve year old boy being kissed by the hottest girl in school. “Maybe next time you’ll give me one of those church boy kisses.”
He looked at her smile and knew he was in trouble.
Chapter 25
INSTEAD OF GOING BACK TO work, Sean went for a walk. He enjoyed spending the afternoon with Kyla. He wasn’t expecting her to say some of the things she said, but he liked her candidness. Outwardly, she was exactly what he liked…average height with lots of curves and incredible lips.
There were also, some things about her that could be potential problems. He loved God and it seemed like she didn’t. She was sexually active and he was celibate. She drank and he never touched alcohol. Major differences. He stood at the corner waiting on the light to change and the red color caught his attention. It reminded him of Kyla’s full red lips. His mind drifted back to her invitation to kiss her. He wondered how her lips would feel pressed against his. He knew any kind of social relationship with her was dangerous, but…
He reached inside his pocket for his phone, pressing the programmed number waiting for someone to answer. “Hey, can we talk…sure…I’ll see you in about twenty minutes…Thanks.”
He walked in and the doorman waved him in as he had so many times before. He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor. On the ride up he kept trying to justify his feelings for Kyla. The elevator stopped, he stepped out and walked across the hall to the open door. He pushed the door open and was greeted by a beautiful honey colored lab. He rubbed the dog’s neck. “Hey boy. Where is everyone?” He started walking around and called out, “Hello.”
“Hey Sean, I’m in the kitchen,” a woman’s voice called.
“Come on boy, let’s go find your mama.” He walked down the hall to the kitchen with the dog leading the way.
“Hey Sean.” He kissed the petite, dark skinned woman on the cheek. “Alvin sit down.” The dog trotted over to his bed in the corner and did as told.
“Hi Trina.”
“What’s her name?” Sean shook the baby’s hand ignoring her question. “Sean.”
“What makes you think I’m here about a woman?”
“Because you came to me first.” They both laughed. “Besides, if it wasn’t for your knocking some sense into Chris, I wouldn’t be your godsister.”
“Very true.”
“So, tell me about her.”
“She’s…uhm…she’s not like any other woman I know.”
“That would only be possible, if she weren’t troubled.” She looked at him and smirked and then back at her son. “Tyler, I don’t know what uncle Sean would do without mommy helping him understand women.” Tyler giggled.
“Hey little man, I thought you were on my side?”
“What’s wrong with her?”
“She has a boyfriend and—”
“I’m home,” called out a deep voice. “Where is every one?”
“We’re in the kitchen honey.” Alvin barked and trotted off in the direction of the voice and footsteps coming into the kitchen. A few seconds later he returned and climbed up into his bed.
“Sean, are you here trying to steal my wife?” Chris joked as he walked into the kitchen.
“Like I could.” He laughed and hugged his godbrother.
“What’s going on? Is everything okay?” Chris asked.
Chris and Sean’s moms were best friends and made a pact when they had children, to be each other’s godmothers. Both women made the pact hoping for daughters, but were blessed with sons. The boys grew to be best friends. After college, Chris gave his life to God. It was hard for Sean to understand, so they went their separate ways. When Sean moved to New York he looked Chris up. They got over their growing pains and rekindled
their friendship. It was Chris who introduced Sean to the Lord.
