“I told you, I’m waiting on you to do that.”
Her head tilted as she smiled before giving me another lingering kiss. “That is my responsibility as your future wife, huh?”
“It is, so you need to get on that.”
“I will. I’ll start researching designers on my next day off. Speaking of which, did you mean what you said earlier about me working here? I don’t want to impose or crowd your space.”
“I never say anything I don’t mean. I want you here, in my home, on my dick… all that.”
“Mm… I can handle that last thing right now,” she said, straddling me.
Unfortunately, being in her walls would have to wait. Parker knocked, letting me know he was ready to go over the case. As much as I didn’t want to, I gave her several kisses and smacked her ass before sending her away.
Evening couldn’t come quick enough…
Iwanted to do something sweet for Mecca. Not only had he been seeing to literally every one of my desires and needs, but he’d been working like crazy. Plus, things didn’t go so well with his parents, and I could tell he missed them. When he tried to talk to them, his anger consumed him, so the conversation didn’t go far. Their pride and his temper were not a good combination, so out of respect, he decided to wait before trying to talk to them again. I hadn’t talked to my parents in person, but I was still in our family group chat. Once I knew everyone was okay, I turned off the notifications for the day.
I asked Mecca to text me and let me know when he was on his way home. Like I said I would, I’d been looking into interior designers to make his house feel homier. Even with the few ideas I had in mind, I wanted help from an expert to truly do his home justice. He offered me a room to do whatever I’d like with plus space for an office, and I was excited to dedicate space to myself.
My apartment was cozy like he’d said, but I could put five or six of them in his home. I hadn’t touched the money I got from working with him and had no idea what I’d do with it. Mecca was giving me money to pay my bills though I told him that wasn’t necessary. It was important to him that he show me what was in store when I became his wife, and I appreciated him for that.
As I put the finishing touches on what I’d done, I beamed with pride. Mecca’s love offering to his grandmother, his garden, was beautiful. It was starting to get to a temperature where he wouldn’t be able to plant and harvest her favorite flowers. I decided to get him a year-round greenhouse. Inside, I had several seeds and holders to get him started. On the floor, I made a pallet full of thick blankets and topped it with everything we’d need for a picnic.
At the sound of the garage letting up, I headed back inside to greet my man. My smile spread immediately at the sight of him, and even though he looked tired, he smiled at me as well.
“Baby,” he called, closing the space between us.
“Hi,” I spoke against his lips before he kissed me so deeply, I almost forgot about the surprise outside.
His hands squeezed my ass as he held me close, and I swear I could stay like this forever.
“How was your day?” I checked, keeping my arms around his neck.
“It was okay. I got a call that the third teen was caught. He hopped in a car while an older lady was putting mail in the mailbox.”
“Oh no. At least they caught him.”
“Yeah, because he crashed.” Mecca’s hand slid down his face as he sighed. “I don’t know what I’m going to do to help these kids, but I have to do something.”
“I’m sure you’ll figure it out, and if anything comes to mind, I’ll share. Just taking on their cases and talking to them will do wonders, I’m sure.”
“You’re right about that. Kids, like men, soften when they are listened to. I just hope I’m not wasting my time trying to get through to them.”
“Even if you help only one out of the four, it won’t be time wasted. You have a heart for kids and it’s going to work in your favor with them. I’m really proud of you, love.”
My declaration led to more kisses and touching, and I got so deep I almost forgot about the surprise.
“Oh!” Wiping my mouth, I tugged him toward the back patio. “I have a surprise for you. Do you want to change before you see it?”
He looked down at his black-on-black suit and shirt. “If it’s outside, yes.”
“Okay. I’ll need to cover your eyes, so you won’t see it through the windows as you walk then.”
“Bae…”
Not taking no for an answer, I took a dish towel and covered his eyes with it, then led him to his bedroom. After changing quickly into sweats and a form-fitting t-shirt, he allowed me to lead him outside. I waited until we were standing directly in front of the greenhouse to remove the towel.
His mouth dropped and eyes watered as he stared at the greenhouse. Mecca released the cutest, quietest laugh of delight as he looked down at me.
