Chapter 21
Nessa
“With everything goin’ on it feels like the year just flew by because how is Christmas tomorrow?” I sighed in disbelief as I seasoned the meat for tonight.
“I mean with everything you’ve been dealin’ with I can see how it feels like that,” Yas acknowledged as she stood at the counter peeling potatoes.
“But for me it took forever for the holidays to finally get here. With me takin’ off two weeks this summer I wasn’t able to take off the full month of December like I normally would.
Anywho those last two weeks in December I wasn’t gonna be spendin’ it workin’ in no prison. ”
“I know that’s right. It definitely wasn’t the same with you workin’ the first half but I’m glad you did come with us over the summer. You needed that break too. Plus, I ain’t wanna be alone with Nas ass back then.”
“And clearly that’s changed because now that nigga stayin’ with y’all.”
“Girl, yes. He moved in after the kidnappin’ situation but he’s sleeping in a spare room. I’m still shocked my ass agreed to the shit.”
“Hell, I’m not.”
“Yas!”
“Girl, you the only one still frontin’ like you don’t want that man. And them sleeping arrangements only gonna last but so long.”
“Chyy.”
“Yeah, that’s all yo’ ass can say because you know I’m right. Speakin’ of yo’ BD where did him and Chance run off to?”
“Girl, if you wanna know where Chance went, just ask ‘bout him. They went to go grab some more last minute gifts for the girls.”
“The girls already got more than enough shit piled up in my downstairs room. What more could they need? And I hope they don’t expect us to wrap all this shit up.”
“Oh, you know I already let both their ass know that gift wrapping is on them. Especially since we’re cookin’ Christmas Eve dinner.”
“That’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout I can’t wait for this food to get done so I can walk it like a dog. Is Daphne comin’?”
“Yeah, I ordered her an Uber not too long ago so she should be here soon. She’s gonna occupy the girls and help them build the gingerbread house while we cook.”
“Perfect!”
As I finished I continued to season the chicken, I thought back over the past few weeks with Nas here.
It felt as if he were waiting on me hand and foot with how attentive he’d been with my needs and cravings.
He’d taken the place of Mama Eva because she was the same way when I was pregnant the first time.
To still have that kind of support was refreshing, especially coming from Nas.
Because he was able to cater to every need I had including sexually.
It was maybe night three of him moving in that I got a glimpse of him without his shirt and became putty in his hands as he had his way with me that night.
Yas was right the only thing I could say was ‘chyy’ because I hadn’t been standing on business.
Every time I felt lonely or horny, Nas would end up in my bed.
Sometimes it would be to fuck the shit out of me but most of time it was just cuddling.
With him handling the threat against our family I’d felt safer with him.
Honestly, it felt like we’d naturally fallen into a relationship, but nothing had been discussed officially yet.
“We’re back,” Nas announced as him and Chance entered the kitchen. “It smells good in here.”
“That’s the chicken I just placed in the oven not to long ago,” I admitted as I gathered everything I needed to make some honey cornbread. “Are all of them bags for the girls?”
“It may be a bag or two for you. Why?”
“Because they already got so much shit in that room now.”
“You couldn’t have expected me to take it easy for my first Christmas home. And a nigga got money too.”
“Ok, don’t say shit to me when she expects this same energy movin’ forward.”
“That’ll be just fine,” he stuck his tongue out as they continued through the kitchen to Yas’s room.
The doorbell rung as I filled a big pot with water to boil the potatoes.
Yas went to answer the door just as Nas walked back into the kitchen.
Once we were alone, he pulled me into him before placing a hand on my ass.
With the other hand, he lifted my chin to place a tender kiss on my lips.
This was actually why I’d felt like we fell into a relationship.
“How you and Nash doin’ today?” He asked as he looked in my eyes.
“We’re doin’ good today,” I blushed before biting the inside of my mouth. The way he’d just woken my body up had me ready to fuck the shit out him. “Just happy that you’re home now.”
“Let me find out you missed a nigga.”
“Maybe.”
“Keep it up and watch I’ma have you sittin’ on Santa’s lap later tonight.’
“Don’t threaten me with a good time.”
“Man, take yo’ lil’ horny ass on,” he laughed as he playfully pushed me up off him.
My mom and Yas walked in before I could even defend myself.
It wasn’t my fault that this man was sexier than a muthafucka.
Giving my mom a hug, I stepped into the living room to call the girls downstairs.
Within seconds you could hear their little footsteps before you saw them.
They weren’t too far behind me when I returned to the kitchen.
Nyla acted as if her grandma wasn’t in front of her and went straight for Nas.
“Oh, dang you don’t see yo’ granny sittin’ here?” My mom inquired after she broke her hug with Chanel. “That’s how you do me, Nyla Pooh?”
“Sorry,” Nyla apologized as Nas placed her on the ground. She beelined over to my mom who welcomed her with open arms. “Hey, Granny.”
“Hey, Granny’s girl. Are you and Chanel ready to build a gingerbread house?”
“Yesss!” They exclaimed in unison.
I watched as the three of them left out before I placed all the peeled potatoes in the pot.
Nas eventually went back into the room, so that he and Chance could start wrapping gifts.
It was a little after five and with everything they had they’ll be wrapping until midnight.
Two hours later, everything was cooked and sat out on the table.
I’d cooked smothered chicken, homemade mashed potatoes, collard greens, baked mac and cheese and honey cornbread.
For dessert I baked Nas’s favorite red velvet cake with half of it covered in pecan toppings.
Our Christmas Eve dinner went off without a hitch, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it.
To have Nas home for the holidays was the best gift despite the rocky reunion we had when he came home.
Christmas hadn’t felt this peaceful since Mama Eva’s death.
She was truly missed around this time but like tradition me and Nyla were going to her gravesite to place flowers on her headstone.
This time it would be even better because Nas was coming with us.
After dinner was completed, my mom bathed the girls while me and Yas cleaned up.
With everybody staying the night here I was thankful for the five bedroom house that Nas forced upon me.
Once everything was cleaned up, I went upstairs to shower before calling it a night.
Getting into bed, I looked at the time and noticed that it was ten minutes until midnight.
I pulled out my phone to send Nas a quick text.
Me:
Still down there playin’ Santa?
Him:
Almost done. Wassup?
Me:
Tryna see if I can get a lil’ of Santa’s candy cane tonight.
Him:
Look how you do me. Only usin’ me for sex.
Me:
Is that a no?
Him:
Hell nawl. After I place these gifts under the tree I’ll be right there.
Me:
Don’t have me waitin’ too long, Mr. Claus.
Him:
I won’t, Mrs. Claus.
The door of my room crept open slowly causing me to become giddy with excitement.
I pretended to be asleep as I watched Nas move about my room through the tiny slit of my eyes.
Once he went into the bathroom and the shower turned on, I hopped out of the bed.
The naughty Mrs. Claus lingerie I’d secured for tonight was tucked in the back of my closet.
After I changed into that I got back into bed and wrapped myself up in the covers to wait for Nas to get out of the shower.
“You can stay pretendin’ to be sleep,” Nas chuckled as he stepped out of the bathroom. “Next time you wanna pretend to sleep how ‘bout you remember to breathe ‘cause that was yo’ dead giveaway.”
“Dammit,” I cursed before sitting up in bed still hiding my outfit with the covers. “Why you ain’t say nothin’ when you first came in?”
“Because I had to clean my dick. I’ve been rippin’ and runnin’ all day; I’d be a foul ass nigga to give you some sweaty ass dick.”
“You gotta point.”
“Exactly. Now you gonna show me whatever is that you’re hidin’ under the covers?”
“It’s your Christmas gift, so close your eyes.”
He did as I instructed before I eased out of bed.
Making my way over to him, I stood in front of him with my little belly, I’d start to form poking out a little in the skintight thong one piece.
As I held a mistletoe over both of us, I stood on my toes to give him a kiss.
He slowly opened his eyes as he took me all in.
The sly smile that graced his face as he rubbed his hands together let me know that he liked what he saw.
“This how you kick off Christmas,” he grinned before smacking my ass cheek. “I’m about to fuck the shit out of you. Merry Christmas Baby.”
“Ooh, I’m ready for you to do just that. Merry Christmas Daddy..”
In one swift motion he picked me up and carried me over to my bed.
He carefully placed me on the bed before standing over me.
I gasped when he grabbed ahold of my feet and started sucking my toes.
Once he was finished with my toes, he kneeled in front of me as he pulled me closer to the edge.
With his teeth, he moved my thong to the side exposing my bare pussy.
His thick tongue slid across my opening as I relished in the moment.
After he finished eating me off the bone, I was flipped on my stomach before he pulled my ass up in the air.
With the perfect arch in my back, I bit down on my lip as I waited for him to fill me up.
The way he eased into me as we both moaned out had me dripping wet instantly.
As I matched his stroke, I threw my ass back in circular motion.
He sent another smack to my ass before he grabbed ahold of my hair.
“I fuckin’ love you, Nessa,” he confessed in my ear as he kept dick’n me down.
“I love you too, Nas,” I whimpered as I felt another orgasm coming.
“You creamin’ all over this dick baby it gotta be good. Daddy’s dick good?”
“Yess! This dick so fuckin’ good!”
“You gotta keep it down while you keep takin’ this dick. Can you do that for me?”
“Yes baby!”
After I agreed to keep it down, I buried my head into the sheets because that was the only way I could keep my word.
Especially when he started pulling his dick all the way out and shoving it back in.
That shit had me about to suffocate with all the erratic breathing I was doing.
When I came up for air, he wrapped his hand around my neck as his speed increased.
That final thrust was so deep and powerful that I flew off the dick just as his nut shot out all over my sheets.
“Look at you got me makin’ a mess,” he laughed before going into the bathroom to retrieve a rag to clean it up.
After he cleaned off my bed, he cleaned the two of us up before getting in bed.
With the dick coma I was in, I could barely move as he cuddled behind me.
“I know we ain’t put no title on it, but I need to make it crystal fuckin’ clear that you’re mine. Understood?”
“I hear you,” I downplayed before smirking.
“Nawl, ion need you just to hear me. I need you to understand that if you ever give that good ass pussy between yo’ legs to another nigga I’m killin’ him and lockin’ yo’ ass up in a tower guarded by a fuckin’ dragon. Do you understand?”
“I understand, baby,” I conceded as I turned around to face him. “I promise you don’t have to worry about that ever happenin’.”
“Good. Now turn that ass around ‘cause I need that fat ass pressed up against me so I can go to sleep.
“This is the best Christmas EVER!” Nyla exclaimed as she opened her last gift under the tree. “I got everything I wanted. Well, almost I didn’t get the pony.”
“I think Mrs. Claus told Santa to hold off on that,” Nas explained before he looked over at me.
“I’m sure she had good reason for doin’ so,” I challenged before rolling my eyes. Reaching for the gift I had tucked away, I became nervous about Nyla opening it. “I think I just found one more gift for you Nyla.”
“I wonder what it is,” she stood to grab it from me before shaking it. When she didn’t hear anything move around she snatched away the wrapping paper. She held up the shirt that was inside. “Promoted to big sis. Wait a second! Does this mean…”
“Yess! You’re goin’ to be a big sister,” Nas happily finished her sentence. “And it’s a boy!”
The both of them jumped up and started doing their happy dance.
Everyone laughed while my mom recorded a video of it.
As I sat back taking in the moment, I prayed that the holidays would stay like this moving forward.
My phone started ringing in my hand as I turned it to see who was calling me so early.
When I saw that it was Nina, I hurried to answer before she hung up.
“Merry Christmas, Nessa,” she chirped as she came into view on my screen.
“Merry Christmas, Nina,” I smiled. “We miss you over here.”
“I know I’m mad I couldn’t make it but hopefully next year will be different.”
“I gotta feelin’ it will be. Did y’all tell my girl about the bundle of joy?”
“Yes, chyy. Look at her and her daddy cuttin’ up ‘bout the news.”
I flipped the camera so she could see Nyla and Nas dancing. She laughed like the rest of us did before taking a screenshot. When Nas noticed me, he walked over and grabbed a hold of my phone.
“I should’ve known she was talkin’ to you. Merry Christmas, Ma,” he expressed as he took over my FaceTime call.
“Merry Christmas, Son. I’m not gonna be too long because I got some business to handle, but I just wanted to make sure that you’re still comin’ to the family reunion next month.”
“I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
“Good to hear. Tell everyone I said Merry Christmas for me. Love y’all.”
“I will and love you too, Ma,” he assured before tossing me back my phone. “Okay, so since the ladies did and amazin’ job with dinner last night it’s only right the guys throw down for breakfast. Then after breakfast we’ll go visit Mama Eva, sound good?”
“Sounds good,” everyone agreed.
