Chapter Twelve
Remi
––––––––
“Well, I’ll give youraunt this. Sheisa damn good cook.” I plop down on Kaia’s bed, rubbing my overly full belly.
Despite Kaia’s concerns, Yiya did not attempt to kill me when I walked into the door. Then again, I think she was probably debriefed before I arrived and knows the whole thing was one big fucking misunderstanding.
I take the blame. I should have been more direct with Kaia and not just sent her some vague message like that. Maybe then, none of this would have even happened.
Weirdly, I’m not sorry that it did, though, because seeing how upset she was... As much as it gutted me, it also made me deliriously fucking happy. Seeing her get so worked up over me, it told me more than words ever could.
She’s really into me and thank fuck for it because Lord knows I’m into her, probably more than I have any right to be given that I really haven’t known her long.
“That she most definitely can,” Kaia agrees, taking a seat on the edge of the mattress next to me.
“Why are you so far away?” I lean up just enough to snag her around the bicep before hoisting her up next to me.
She settles into the crook of my arm with a satisfied sigh.
“What time do you have to leave?” she asks, glancing up at me through thick lashes.
“Leave?” I snort. “I’m just getting comfortable.”
“You know you can’t stay. Yiya may not care that you’re in here because, well, I’m a grown woman. But I think she’ll draw the line at having to listen to us... You know.” I watch a soft pink suffuse her cheeks.
“Who said we were going to?” I arch a brow. “I mean, don’t get me wrong. I want to. Like really, really fucking bad. But I have no intention of disrespecting your aunt by fucking her niece into oblivion.” I smirk.
“Oblivion?” She visibly swallows.
“You keep looking at me like that and I may forget everything I just said,” I warn her, already growing hard under her gaze.
She stares at me for another long moment like she might actually want to test me on this before her cheek finds my chest.
“I’m really sorry about earlier,” she speaks after a long moment of comfortable silence passes between us. “I don’t know what came over me. I’ve never been that kind of person. You know, the kind who just flies off the handle in a jealous fit.”
“That was nothing. If I had witnessed what you had, not a chance in hell would I have remained in that car. I probably would have beaten that motherfucker black and blue before you ever had a chance to explain what was happening.”
“Possessive much?” She chuckles, her hand sliding across my abdomen.
“When it comes to you.” I run my hand through her soft waves. “Extremely.”
“When it comes to me?” When she glances up at me this time, I can’t resist the urge to lean in for a brief kiss.
“I don’t know how to explain the chokehold you have on me, Kaia,” I tell her bluntly, smiling when her lips part in a silent O. “From that first day...”
“I know,” she cuts in. “Because I feel the same way. You make me weirdly crazy but in the best way possible.”
