“I really don’t need this much, Makai.”
“But I need to give you that much, so take it. And call me if you find something you like. Don’t leave until you sign the lease.”
“Okay.”
“Here,” he said, again, this time handing me a card.
“What’s this?” I asked, staring at the thick, black card that was sleek and weighty.
“Your American Express card. It’s attached to my account so you ain’t worried about shit.”
“Baby, seriously?”
“Yeah. If you find something you like, call me. I want to make sure everything straight before you sign a lease.”
“Okay. Can I go now?” I laughed, knowing just how painful it was to release me.
My heart already longed for him as well, but I had business to tend to. Ironically, it was business he’d set in motion for me.
“Get ya big head ass on, then. Acting like I’m getting on your nerves.”
The smirk on his handsome face made me curl my fingers, stretching them to meet his collar and pulling him forward. My lips and his rejoiced, making contact again for the twentieth time since I’d awakened.
“I’ll see you soon. I promise.”
“Aight, Mommas. I’ll be somewhere in the city… waiting on your call.”
We parted ways, finally, the silence in the car leaving me with my thoughts. Makai was growing on me so heavily. Had I felt alone, I’d be concerned. I wasn’t alone. He exposed himself and the adoration we shared each day.
“I’ve never seen him like this,” Aeir averred.
Tilting my head in her direction, I rested my eyes on her immaculate brown skin.
“I’m in love, babe.” I dragged my words as I ran a hand down my face. “My God. Is it too soon? We’re going on five weeks.”
“Almost five weeks. Girl, why did it take more than five minutes? What’s wrong with you? It only took me one minute and I knew I had fallen for Lawe. To make matters worse, I was at work, where I was supposed to not even notice men for real,” Kleu blabbered, startling me. It wasn’t until then I realized why music wasn’t playing.
“I knew I loved Milo the first time I saw him on campus. From the beginning, we were stuck to each other like bees on a honeycomb.”
“I fell in love with Malachi through dreams and visions of him that confused my head. However, they never confused my heart. And the first time I heard his voice on the phone, I was ready to toss my body in front of him and demand he love me back.”
“So, I’m a late bloomer?”
“Not at all. I saw it in your eyes while we were on vacation. That’s why I assumed you had been dating for months. I would’ve never known that was your first date if you hadn’t told me.” Nonchalantly, Aeir comforted me.
“Okay. This makes me feel better. Now, I want to turn around and kiss my baby again. Shopping for condos don’t seem so fun now.”
“Good thing you aren’t, then.”
“What do you mean? He said—”
“Because he doesn’t want you to feel as if he’s making such huge decisions for you and not considering your personal desires. Makai has already chosen your condominium. He’s just hoping you choose the same one so that he doesn’t have to rework the papers.”
“Seriously?”
“Yes,” she confirmed.
“It’s as if he just keeps getting better with time. I’m almost afraid to find out when it all will end.”
