Chapter 12
Mycah and I spent a little over an hour driving around.
I showed her multiple landmarks, as well as the flower farm.
I also showed her the hospital, the fire station, and other important places.
We rode past a few businesses and stores that I thought would be of interest to her. When we were done, we rode to my house.
I enjoyed spending time with Mycah, and I meant what I said about dating her. She had been the only woman I wanted to try and take seriously in a while. I enjoyed her personality. She was funny but also knew how to keep a conversation going.
I heard her phone buzzing multiple times, but she hadn’t bothered with answering it.
“You still getting those unknown calls?” I asked when her phone went off again, and she pulled it out of her bag.
She looked down at it, then at me. “I am.” She went to put it back in her bag, but I stopped her.
“Let me answer it,” I told her.
“Huh?”
I felt like whoever it was wasn’t going to stop until she answered, and since she didn’t seem interested in seeing who it was, I figured I could do it for her.
“Let me answer it for you. There is no need for you to keep being bothered by it, and it looks like they won’t let up.”
It stopped but started again. She placed it in my hand, and I put it on speaker when I answered.
“Mycah! Mycah!” a dude yelled, and I could tell by the anger in his voice that it was her ex.
I looked over at her, and she looked more annoyed than anything.
“Nah, this ain’t Mycah,” I said. My voice was calm but stern.
“Who the fuck is this?” His tone was full of anger, but that shit didn’t faze me.
“A man you don’t want any problems with. I’m going to say this once and once only. Mycah doesn’t want to talk to you, which is why she hasn’t been answering your calls. Make this the last time we have to have this conversation.”
I glanced over at Mycah, and she nodded in agreement.
Answering her phone was my way of showing her that I would protect her from whatever she needed protecting from.
This dude didn’t know where she lived, at least I hoped he didn’t.
If by chance he found out and did something to her, even just talking, he wouldn’t like the outcome.
He probably didn’t think she moved on or had someone to watch her back, but that wasn’t the case.
She had me now. Girlfriend or not, it was my duty to keep bullshit out of her life.
“Fuck you. And when I find you and her, I’m fucking both of y’all up.”
He probably was the type that talked shit but was afraid of fighting men. Niggas that abused women were cowards.
“Try if you want to. I hope you like stripes, nigga.” I hung up the phone because I wasn’t going to go back and forth with him.
I also wouldn’t be fighting him if we ever crossed paths.
I was too old to fight anybody. I’d rather just lock their asses up.
A worthless person wasn’t going to have me sore the next day.
I dealt with enough stuff at work. But, if it came down to it, I would have no problem showing him or anyone else what these hands could do, or they could look down the barrel of my gun.
I knew how to easily claim something as self-defense.
“I had a feeling it was him,” Mycah said when she took the phone from my hand.
“I did, too, when you told me about the calls. Hopefully, he’ll stop now.”
We arrived at my house, and I pulled into the driveway. I needed to ask her a couple of questions before we got out, though. I liked her for real, but I had to see where her head was at before things went any further.
“Do you think you are healed from that situation?” I opened the windows halfway and shut the engine off.
“I am. I was healed before I even left my home. I only left when I did because he came to my job and busted my car windows. I know every man isn’t like him, so I don’t want to make anyone else pay for his mistakes.
You’ve been nothing but nice to me since the moment we met, and I appreciate that.
Granted, most people are nice in the beginning, but it’s something about you that makes me feel like you wouldn’t be like that.
Everyone at work seems to admire you, and a few people have spoken highly of you.
Am I scared about finding love again? Yes, but that won’t stop me from trying. ”
I didn’t rush to respond, because I wanted her words to really sink in. I also wanted to give her time to say something else if she needed to. After a beat, I turned the key to put the windows back up. Mycah looked confused by my actions, but I just chuckled.
“I appreciate you for being open to trying. I know words are just that, but you don’t have to worry about me treating you the way he did.
My parents would kick my ass if they knew I treated a woman like that.
Again, I may have been in situations that the women didn’t agree with, but I never disrespected anyone.
And I need you to know that I can effectively communicate.
I don’t agree with arguing or any of that toxic shit.
There’s ways to get your point across without yelling and carrying on. ”
“I agree. I also appreciate you for not holding my past against me.”
“I wouldn’t do that, because I wouldn’t want anyone to do that to me. Now that all of that is situated, let’s go inside so we can continue our date.” I opened the door, then went around to help her out of the car.
Mycah held my hand as we walked up the few steps that led to my front door. I entered the house first because I didn’t want her to be startled by Shadow.
“You remember Mycah?” I asked Shadow as he walked toward her.
Mycah bent down to pet him and she talked to him for a minute, before I told him to go to his room.
After I made sure the door was locked and the alarm was set, I led Mycah into the living room.
“Sir, why is it like an icebox in here?” Mycah asked as she rubbed her arms.
“That’s how I like it. I can adjust the temp if you want.”
“Just a little, please.”
I walked to the thermostat as she sat on the couch. My thermostat stayed at sixty-eight degrees, and to me, it was perfect. I turned it up a few degrees to warm it up some.
“My bad. You remind me of my sister. She hates coming over here unless we are going in the backyard. My brother doesn’t care either way.”
“I think most women like warmer temps, so I can see that. Thank you for adjusting it.”
“Of course, I want you to be comfortable. Oh shit, I forgot about the cakes in the trunk. Let me grab those real quick. Would you like something to drink?”
“Water is fine.”
I nodded, then stood. I had to disarm the alarm to go outside, so I did that, then went to the car.
After I had the cakes, I went back inside to put them in the fridge and to get some water.
I wasn’t sure how long Mycah would stay since she had to get back to her dog, but I would keep her for as long as she allowed me to.
I handed her the water, then sat next to her on the couch.
“Did you enjoy yourself?”
“I did. Thank you for showing me around. I saw a few places I’d like to check out one day.”
“You’re welcome, and if you need some company, let me know.”
We sat so close that our knees touched. Her perfume was sweet this time—like strawberries and marshmallows. I liked that she always smelled different, and each scent worked for her.
“Do you want kids?” I asked.
“I do, but I’m also okay if it never happens. I’m not one of those women that feel like my life is incomplete if I didn’t have one. There’s plenty of kids that need homes, so if it’s meant for me to adopt instead, then that’s what I’ll do. Besides, Cashmere is my kid for now.” She giggled.
“I feel you. Coming from a slightly bigger family, I always wanted kids, but it hasn’t happened yet. There’s been a scare or two, but that’s it.”
“Whew, pregnancy scares are the worst, especially when you didn’t want a baby by that person in the first place.”
“Tell me about it. The ones I had were definitely by women I wouldn’t want kids with, but shit happens. And before you ask, I did strap up.”
I didn’t go around sticking my raw dick in every woman I dealt with. In fact, I could say I only hit two chicks raw in my life. The first one was my high school sweetheart, and the second one was an ex of mine a few years ago. Other than that, I made sure to wear a rubber every single time.
Mycah threw up her hands. “I didn’t even say anything.” She laughed.
“You didn’t have to. I knew what you were thinking.”
“I guess.” She shrugged.
“Let me be clear, because I never want you to have any negative thoughts about me. I’m very careful about who I give my time and energy to. I also get tested on a regular basis.”
My health was important to me, so I made sure I was always in the best shape I could be.
I went to the doctor regularly. I walked every day and worked out a couple of times a week.
I didn’t overdo it with sweets. The main thing I indulged in was the donuts I had every morning.
With the exception of those, I rarely ate high sugar things.
My dick health was just as important as everything else.
“I’m glad you do. I do as well. It actually has been a while since my last time, but I made sure I was tested afterward.”
Hearing Mycah say it’d been a while made me want her even more. I turned so I was facing her and cupped the side of her face. She stared into my eyes as her breathing increased.
Her pink tongue slowly licked her lips.
Without asking for permission, I leaned forward and kissed her. Her lips were soft like pillows against mine. When her mouth slightly parted, I slipped my tongue inside. The fruity taste of her drink she had at dinner lingered in her mouth. My other hand went to her waist as she gripped my shirt.
A low moan rumbled against my lips that caused my dick to brick up.
I wanted to fully bask in the moment, so I took the opportunity to slowly lower Mycah’s back to the couch, so she was lying down.
She followed my movements with no hesitation.
I lay on top of her without putting too much of my weight on her.
I took my glasses off and placed them on the table near the couch.
My hand traveled from her face down the side of her neck as I deepened the kiss.
Mycah opened her legs enough for me to get settled in between them.
The heat stemming from her middle made my dick jump.
Mycah put her hand on the side of my face when I broke the kiss.
“Is something wrong?” she asked, her tone full of concern.
“No, doll baby. Everything is perfect. I just wanted to make sure this is okay with you. I want you bad as hell, but I don’t want to cross any boundaries if you don’t want to.”
A smile graced her pretty ass face as she rubbed her thumb over my cheek. The slight touch sent chills up my spine.
“I want whatever you want to give me, Chief.”
I crashed my lips into hers again, but this time, it was way more passionate as I felt myself become unraveled. I had never wanted someone as much as I wanted her at that moment. Her legs opened even wider, and the scent of her arousal made my mouth water.
One of my hands traveled down, and I pushed her dress up enough to slip my fingers inside of her panties, kissing her all the while.
My fingers were immediately drenched when I rubbed them up her slit.
“Mm.” Mycah moaned, and precum leaked from the head of my shit.
With her being so wet, it was easy for my finger to slip inside of her. Her walls tightened around the first one, so I just had to add another one. I massaged that soft spot inside of her, and she broke the kiss as she cried out.
I removed my fingers so I could free my dick because I needed to be inside of her.
Once I had my pants and boxers down enough to give me space, I slid inside of her.
We moaned a sigh of relief at the same time.
Mycah felt perfect—like she was made specifically for me. I didn’t want to move because I didn’t want to cum too fast.
When Mycah pulled me down to kiss her again, my dick pushed even further inside of her.
She moaned against my mouth as our tongues danced. I slowly moved in and out, and I had to close my eyes because the feelings that shot through my body had me ready to moan my damn self.
This wasn’t what I had in mind for the first time, but I didn’t mind it at all.
“Kairo.” Mycah moaned as her hands gripped my shirt. Her walls had me in a vice grip, and I knew she was on the verge of cumming.
“I know, baby.”
Only minutes ticked by before Mycah came, and I was right behind her. This had to be the quickest session I’d had since I was a teenager, but there were no regrets. I was confident that I’d have plenty of opportunities to show her what I could really do.
“I didn’t expect it to be over so fast,” I said before kissing her lips.
“It was enough for me.” She smiled and caressed the side of my face.
We stayed in that same position for a few minutes before we got up and went into the bathroom to clean up.
Mycah insisted on going home since she didn’t have anyone to check on Cashmere, so when she was ready, I took her home.
We shared a kiss in front of her door, then I headed back home.
The date had gone exceptionally well, in my opinion, and I couldn’t have been happier about it.
