14. Khaleya
The moment the door closed, I looked back at Da’ana, and she was grinning. I rolled my eyes and stepped out of the kitchen to go to my room.
“Don’t roll your eyes now, and don’t think I’m not reaching out to Mama to let her know I’m coming to dinner too. Oh, and don’t worry, I’m driving myself, because we know where you’re ending up tonight. Just remember to wrap it up, I’m not ready to become an auntie yet.”
I flicked her off, and she burst into laughter as I made my way to my room.
I hated how right she was. My last hope was that my family ran this man off, but I don’t think I could ever be that lucky.
I just wanted them to make the decision for me.
But the damn man was lovable, which is my problem currently.
I picked out a pair of ripped jeans and a graphic T-shirt, since I was just going to my parents’ place. I placed them onto my bed, then grabbed a towel to take a quick shower, but not before sending a text in my family group chat.
Me: I’m bringing Myheir to dinner tonight. I figured you might want a heads-up.
I tossed my phone on the bed and turned to walk away when the bed vibrated continuously. I knew they were having a field day in those messages, but they would just have to wait until I got out of the shower.
I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower, undressed, and stepped inside. Then Da’ana knocked on the door and peeked her head inside.
“Leya, your mom is on the phone.”
I rolled my eyes. I’m sure she told her I was in the shower.
I groaned. “Put her on speaker.”
Da’ana walked further into the bathroom and did as I asked.
“Hi, Mom. I’m sure Da’ana told you I was in the shower. This couldn’t wait until I got out?” I asked.
“No, it couldn’t. If you were going to drop a bomb like that, you should have gotten in the shower first, not after. Now what do you mean, Myheir is coming? Is that your boyfriend who everyone else has gotten the chance to meet?”
I rolled my eyes because she loved to be dramatic. This was easily going to be about her when it had nothing to do with them at all.
“The one and the same.”
I chose not to respond to the last part. That would only further this conversation, when I’d already said all there was to be said.
“Well, I already curated the menu, and now I don’t know if that young man might be allergic to any of this.”
I chuckled. “He isn’t allergic to anything. He will be fine. Don’t go changing anything for him, he is a regular man.”
“No. This has done something none of us thought we’d ever see the day it happened.”
“Huh, what are you talking about? And, Mom, can we make this quick? I’m sure Da’ana doesn’t want to spend her time standing in the bathroom with me while I’m naked and showering.”
“Da’ana, honey, you alright? I’m sure you’ve seen what she has before, as you have the same. Would that be a good assumption?”
Da’ana cupped her hand over her mouth to hold back her laughter before responding.
“You would be correct, Mrs. Roslin. Also, can I come to dinner too? I can’t miss this one,” Da’ana added.
I threw my hands up, exasperated with the entire situation. I don’t know why they’re acting like I’ve never had a man interested, or a boyfriend for that matter. They might not have been great options, but I definitely had them.
“The way you’re acting is as if I never had a man before, or a man interested in me.”
My mom chuckled. “Of course you can come, Da’ana.
Oh, no, honey, never that. You got my genes, and we’re good-looking women.
You’ve never had a man who you’ve kept to yourself this long in private but went public with instantly.
So naturally, we’re all confused by this, but I’m sure we’re going to find out what you’ve been up to. ”
I turned and looked at Da’ana, whose eyes were wide. This was the main reason I didn’t want to bring him over there. But with the idea of this being real on the table, we wouldn’t be lying entirely.
“If you say so, Mom. Is there anything else I can do for you? I’d like to finish my shower and get dressed so we can be on time for dinner.”
“You get that smart and snappy comeback stuff from your father, and might I remind you, he is very upset with the way you handled this. He feels like a backup option, instead of the most important people in your life.”
I shook my head. I knew those emotions were hers and not my dad’s.
He wanted me to have someone who could take care of me.
He thought me living the way I was wasn’t safe and a waste of time.
So I’m sure he couldn’t wait to ask Myheir every question he could think of, to make sure he was serious and that I would have proper protection and security.
“I’m sure he is, Mom. Well, I hate that me figuring out what’s best for me in my time bothered the rest of you so much.
I apologize that I couldn’t do things in the manner you would prefer I done them.
But you’re meeting him now, so please don’t do too much, or I will be single by the end of this dinner. ”
She kissed her teeth. “There goes that sarcastic behavior. We’re not going to embarrass you.
I’m going to go make sure things are good on our end.
Oh, and don’t come in those ripped jeans and T-shirt that I’m sure you have pulled out.
Put on a dress. It doesn’t have to be super fancy, but act like you want to keep this man, Khaleya. ”
I opened the shower door and peeked out. Da’ana was beyond amused.
“I’ll wear what makes me most comfortable. See you in a few hours.”
I mouthed hang up to Da’ana, and she shook her head with wide eyes. I waved her over, since she was so damn scared to hang up. If she didn’t, she would be in here with me throughout my full shower.
“Khaleya Dawn Mathers.”
I interrupted her. “See you later, Mom.”
“Mm-hm, bye, girl.”
I quickly hung up, not allowing her to say another thing. She said bye, so I didn’t actually hang up on her. I handed Da’ana her phone back, then closed the shower door.
“Don’t answer if she calls back. You better go get ready, because now she is going to do the most about being late,” I told Da’ana, while rubbing my soap all over my body once again.
Da’ana nodded, then rushed from the bathroom.
I finished my shower, brushed my teeth, then put on my First Class body oil all over.
I’d even made a perfume to match it, so I sprayed that over my body, then slipped into a brown maxi dress with long sleeves, fluffed out my curls, making sure they were still defined.
I added my gold jewelry, then did a spin in front of the mirror after I lined my lips with my brown liner and added lip gloss. I was ready to go. I grabbed my slide-on shoes, because I wish I would wear a pair of heels to my parents’ place—it wasn’t that deep.
It seemed as if an hour had gone by before a knock resounded at my bedroom door.
“What’s up, Da’ana?” I called out.
I was bent over adding a bit more oil and butter to my legs so they stayed hydrated throughout the night. She didn’t respond, so I looked back to see Myheir standing there running his tongue across his lower lip, like he saw something he could eat and couldn’t wait to get his hands on it.
“Big, stop looking at me like that.”
He walked up until his dick was firmly pressed up against my ass and his large hands were swallowing my hips.
I called him Big for one reason, and that was his persona, but clearly it could go for more than just that.
If this is what he was working with soft, I had my work cut out for me, but I loved a challenge.
“How am I looking at you, Doll? It’s not my fault you had all that ass on display.”
I popped his hands and stood up straight. He leaned in and kissed my neck, causing my girl to thump between my thighs and a moan to slip out. I stepped out of his embrace like I felt something scalding hot.
“Cut it out. We have plans. Now, if you act like you have some sense, I might be able to treat you later.”
Myheir chuckled. “Doll, you act like you’re talking to a damn dog. But, on the second hand, I do like to bite, and I damn sure like treats. So keep it up, and I’m going to have to put a little action behind my words.”
“You’re so damn mannish. Da’ana let you come back here?” I asked, needing to change the subject before our plans changed for the night.
I wouldn’t be able to live it down if we didn’t show up to dinner, especially after the mess my mom just hit me with.
“She did. According to her, you naturally take forever to get ready. I figured I’d come back here and give you a little motivation.”
He bit his lower lip with a smirk.
Yeah. We definitely needed to go. My pussy was practically on hands and knees, begging me to let this man do everything his eyes told me he wanted to. I walked around him and towards the door.
“You better come on. All that energy you have, you gone need it for these people.”
I turned to head out of the door when a throat clearing stopped me. I turned around, and he was holding my phone up.
“Aren’t you forgetting something?” he asked with a smile.
I rolled my eyes and held my hand out.
“Nah, come here and get it, like the lady I know you are.”
I chuckled and looked away for a moment before looking back at him.
“Big, bring yo’ ass. I’m not coming back over there.”
He crossed his arms against his chest. “You scared.”
He said it like it was a statement. I knew he was just trying to goad me into coming closer, and my silly ass went for it. I walked back into the room and reached out for the phone, only for him to take my hand into his, then pull me into his chest.
His cologne was so damn rich and everything him. Myheir leaned down and kissed me like he hadn’t been with me all day practically. He released his hold on my hand, and I wrapped an arm around his neck, standing on the tips of my toes. His hands gripped my ass.
