“How long that car been out there?” I asked Kaylen once I walked into her spot.
“Huh?” she asked me as she fumbled through her purse.
“That car,” I repeated. I opened the blinds so that she could see outside. “That car in front of the house across the street. How long has it been sitting there?”
She looked up and gave me a crazy face. “How the hell would I know? They not here for me, they here to see those hippies across the street,” she replied with a shrug then went back to looking for whatever it was she was searching for.
“That’s my point,” I said under my breath, looking out the window at the car. “Since when do hippies ride around in a Benz on twenty-twos with black ass tints?”
What was really making me feel suspicious about the car was the fact that when I left my spot, there was a black Suburban parked out front with big ass platinum rims on it and black tints. I couldn’t see who was inside, but it seemed out of place for my neighborhood. I didn’t live in the hood. Once I was able to make it out, I didn’t want to ever go back and I never did.
“Why you look so damn paranoid? Will you stop looking out my damn blinds like we cooking crack up in here or something?” Kaylen huffed at me. She was still rooting around in her purse.
“Lost some money? Jewelry?” I asked her with a raised eyebrow. “What you looking for, Kay?”
“My damn wallet,” she said quietly.
“Yeah, I bet. Where is your damn mama?” I asked, walking into the kitchen. I pulled open the refrigerator and grabbed an ice cold water out. As soon as I twisted the cap and put it to my lips to drink, Kaylen’s mama walked up from behind me, scaring me to death and I started choking.
“Why you asking about me, nigga?’ she asked, showing off her gummy mouth and decaying teeth. Her hair was standing straight up on her head as I had become accustomed to seeing it, but she actually did look a little better. She was at least wearing clothes that fit, so it seemed that Kaylen had taken her shopping.
“No reason, Delores. Kaylen missing her wallet. You wouldn’t have happened to see it, huh?” I asked her pointedly.
“Zo, don’t start that shit,” Kaylen warned. She walked over to where I was and gave me a hug and kiss. I returned the kiss and shrugged.
“It was an innocent question,” I lied then tapped Kaylen on the ass. I still teased Delores from time to time but over the past couple weeks, I’d learned that when it came to her mother, Kaylen would forever be on her side so it was best for me to just drop the issue. Delores would hang herself at some point and I was sure of it.
“Well, I got errands to run so I’ll see you two later,” Delores said, scratching at her neck.
I raised my eyebrows in the air about to say something, then I thought twice and took another swig of my water.
“Where you going?” Kaylen asked her, throwing her hip to her side and putting her hand on her hip. I waited to see what Delores would say. I had a feeling that she had already deducted the cash out of Kaylen’s wallet and was heading somewhere to catch a quick high but I wasn’t gonna say shit. I said a silent prayer that her ass would show back up high as hell so I would have a reason to rub the shit in Kaylen’s face the way she did when I found out Salem was still using.
“I’m going to see some of my friends… Why y’all always be in my business?” Delores snapped.
I almost choked on my water and I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying something slick. My first thought was to ask her what she was planning on doing with her friends. All her friends were junkies like her. I knew they weren’t about to post up at a card table and play bridge or some shit. She must have thought we were dumb as hell.
“Go ahead and go. I’ll be flying out tomorrow and I want to spend some quality time with Kay, anyways,” I told her. I grabbed Kaylen and pulled her into a kiss. She kissed me back deeply, rubbing her large breasts against my chest. I bent down and scooped her ass up in my hands.
“Y’all asses nasty as fuck,” Delores muttered and slammed the door behind her.
Soon as I heard the door close, I lifted Kaylen up in my arms and placed her onto the marble countertop. Without breaking our kiss, I grabbed at the hem of her short red dress and pushed it up. I fingered the edge of her panties and slipped my finger inside. Seconds later, I was popping two fingers in her juicy honeypot as I flicked my tongue around the warmth of her mouth.
“Mmmmmm,” Kaylen moaned.
She started twerking against my finger and it got my shit hard immediately. I couldn’t wait any longer. I unbuttoned my jeans, pulled her panties to the side and grabbed her, pulling her close to the edge of the countertop. Then I stood on my toes so that my erection was directly in front of her hole and I pressed forward, entering her swiftly. She gasped sharply and then moaned when she felt me enter her. The inside of her honeypot felt like velvet and I had to will myself not to nut. It was hard because when you loved a woman the way I loved Kaylen, it was hard not to cum.
“I love you, baby,” I whispered in her ear as she twerked against me. I sucked in a breath as I pumped into her. I wanted to make sure that I was able to please her before I got a nut but it was hard as fuck because she felt so good.
“Damn, Kay. Whose pussy is that?”
“Your pussy, baby. Mmmmm…”
“Then cum on this dick,” I ordered her.
“Shit, baby. Stop!” she yelled.
“Cum on this dick. Cum on this dick,” I whispered in her ear. I pinched her nipple and I felt her pussy jump. She was almost there. “C’mon. Let me feel that shit.” I scooped her ass up in my hand and spread her cheeks apart, dipping two finger into her tight asshole.
“Shit, Zo! I’m about to cuuuuuummmm!” she yelled. I sped up my movements and pumped into her even harder. Seconds later, I felt the vibration of her pussy on my dick. She was cumming and it was at the perfect moment because I couldn’t hold it any longer. I let go and shot my load straight through her. I’d never came so big in my life. Kaylen had the best pussy ever. Hands down.
“Damn,” I muttered against her ear. My dick was still in her, but she was exhausted. Her head had fallen on my shoulder and she was holding on to me lazily. Her pussy was still jumping so I knew that she was trying to come down from her sexual high.
I picked her up and carried her up the stairs. We were still attached at the middle. Her pussy was enveloping my dick and I didn’t want to pull out. The feeling was so sweet and so intimate. I needed my baby at that moment bout as much as I knew she needed me.
“Baby, I love you,” she whispered once I laid her on the bed. I collapsed on the side of her, our bodies separating for the first time since I’d started on my mission to please her. She turned towards me and nestled up against my chest.
“I love you, too,” I told her. I grabbed her and held her tight against me. In that moment, it dawned on me that I had never in my life loved someone or needed someone as much as I needed her. As mad as I got at Kaylen about the shit that she did and the stuff we went through, I knew that I needed her.
“Marry me,” I found myself saying before I knew it. I was shocked when the words left my lips, but I did not regret them. I meant every part of it. I wanted Kaylen to be mine.
“Marry you?” she repeated. She looked up at me and I stared back down at her. Her dark brown eyes had a question in them. I could tell that she was trying to figure out if I was serious or if it was the sex talking.
“Yes,” I confirmed for her. “I want you to marry me. Will you?”
“Uhm…” she started.
I pulled my arm from under her and rolled over to the other side of the bed. I leaned down on the side of the bed and picked up my jeans from off the floor. Turning them around, I grabbed the small box out of the back pocket and opened it. I took one look at the diamond inside, took a deep breath and turned around to show Kaylen.
“Marry me,” I repeated.
Kaylen blinked a few times and looked at the ring in the box I was holding out. I could tell that she couldn’t believe this moment had finally come. She had been dropping mad hints about getting married, but I’d always ignored her ass. I was the man and I was in charge of shit like that. I knew whenever I asked her, I wanted it to be a surprise. From the looks of things, I had picked the right moment.
“Yes,” she said. “I’ll marry you. Yes…”
I pulled the ring out of the box and grabbed her hand. In one single motion, I placed it on her finger and then started kissing her neck, her chest and her nipples. They stood at attention as if they were waiting for me. She moaned out loud when I blew air against the nipple closest to me before pulling it into my mouth and sucking on it.
“I know I loved you in another lifetime,” I said in between suckling her breasts.
I wasn’t sure if she believed me, but it was true. The love that I felt for her was real. Regardless of how we meant or all the shit that we’d been through, there was one thing that was definitely true. I loved Kaylen and there wasn’t a thing anyone could do about it. I wanted her as my wife and I couldn’t stand to live another day without asking her. It didn’t matter how much shit I had to put up with being with her. Her attitude, her stubbornness, her strength…I needed all of that. I needed all of her
I bent down and positioned my face above her mound. She was quiet as she watched me. I knew she was waiting for what she knew was to come. I was ready to taste her. I was ready to love her. I wanted Kaylen to be my wife and now that she’d agreed, I didn’t see her as anything but. I pushed her legs apart swiftly and then dove in, tongue first. I teased the entrance of her pussy before I decided to stop playing around and just dive in. I suckled her until she cried out for mercy, and even then I didn’t stop. I flipped my tongue throughout her folds, sucked on her swollen clit and fingered her until she begged me to stop. It wasn’t until she started thrashing against my face and pleading with me to let go that I finally pulled away and gave her some peace. By then, she had come about three times and I was sure she couldn’t give anymore.
I lay down on the bed next to her and thought about my life at that moment. It couldn’t be any more perfect. The feel of it was almost surreal. Kaylen had agreed to be mine and I was happy as hell. The woman whom I loved more than anything would soon be my wife.
