"Im sorry. I didn't have my phone out and it was on silent," I said softly.

"Alaysia Im really not trynna overstep boundaries especially because we just met but we just talked about this this morning. I was getting worried about you. If you don't want to become something more than friends, let me know now so I can know to chill out but right now Im trynna make you my girl and I can't do that if you're not communicating with me or being consistent," he said with a level tone while maintaining eye contact with me.

I kind of felt bad because he has been very upfront with me since the beginning and I keep doing the same thing and it's making me seem like I don't like him like that and that Im ignoring him but Im really not trying to.

"Im sorry. I really hadn't checked my phone until I got home. I was occupied with Imani and I didn't mean to make you worried or any of that. I do want to be more than friends with you but I kind of feel like you're moving fast as fuck and it's making me nervous."

He made a face when I said 'fuck' like he already done told me about my language.

"Ok, mami. I can realize that it was a genuine mistake but you're gonna have to work on that because you can't be getting me nervous like that. I also hear what you're saying and Im gonna try to slow down for you because I can realize that it may be a lot for you especially since we just met."

Now that I felt a little better with his reassuring words, I could really take in his appearance. He was wearing gray sweats which definitely did their job, a black nike sweatshirt, some black cats and he had his dreads in a half up half down. He was looking real sexy.

I didn't say anything and turned so I was facing the tv and pressed play on the show.

"What we watching?" he said as he got comfortable and took his shoes off before leaning back on the couch.

"The OA," I said while still focusing on the tv

"What's it about, mami?" he said and I could feel his gaze on me.

I didn't feel like explaining it to him because I wanted to finish the show before I got tired and there was two more long ass episodes not that I didn't enjoy them. "Watch and you'll find out."

He definitely didn't watch and find out because he asked me a question every two minutes which I would then have to pause the show and answer him.

"Can I smoke in here?" he asked while we were waiting for the next episode to start playing.

"Smoke what?"

"Not really smoke but vape," he said with it in his hand.

"Sure," I gave him a short response because the episode was starting. I also didn't really like the smell of vapes but I wanted to make him feel comfortable so I didn't say no. At least he was exhaling it in the opposite direction of where I was sitting so I couldn't really smell it.

~~~~~~~

It was around 2am when we finished the show and yes he was still here and wide awake. He hadn't stopped asking questions even though they were pretty much answered with all the flashbacks that were in the show.

"You wanna stay over? I have a guest room," I said breaking the silence and looking in his direction.

"Nah Im good but I'll text you when I get home," he said as he slid his shoes back on.

"Ok but I can't promise you I'll be up because it's almost 3 and Im tired as fuck," I said as I got up from the couch and turned off the tv before walking him to the front door.

"What I tell you about that mouth?" he said as he walked in front of me to the door.

I rolled my eyes since he couldn't see me and didn't say anything.

"I can come over tomorrow?"

"I guess," I said as he turned around and faced me

"What you mean 'I guess'?" he said as he lifted my chin to make eye contact with him.

"Yes you can come over, Amari but what are we gonna do? There ain't shit to do here though," I said knowing that he didn't like when I cursed but I was gonna do it anyway. It was a part of my vocabulary.

"Keep that mouth up and it's gonna get you in trouble. We can start a new show and it can be our show," he said with a smirk on his face and his hands had moved down to my waist from my chin but not in a way that made me uncomfortable.

It was kind of cute that he suggested we have a show together. If my skin was any lighter, you would definitely be able to tell I was blushing but thank god it wasn't.

"Gimme a kiss, mami."

Umm...

He just went for it before I could give him any kind of response and let me tell you when I say that was the best motherfucking kiss I ever had, not that I've had many, but it was good as FUCK.

He rubbed his tongue against my lower lip, asking for entrance into my mouth and I gladly obliged as he slipped his tongue into my mouth. I didn't even try to fight for dominance because I already knew I was finna lose. One of his hands slid up to wrap around my neck slightly. I let out the softest moan because that was so sexy. I love being grabbed by my neck. He must've known that I liked it because he tightened his grip on my neck and I let out a moan that was slightly louder than the other.

Fuck me, this man knows how to kiss.

He unfortunately pulled away and then placed a small peck against my lips again before wiping my lips with his thumb to dry them off and said, "Goodnight, mami." Then he left me standing at the doorway.

I bit my lip and closed the door before running to my room and grabbing my phone to tell Imani about the best kiss of my fucking life.

She stayed up hella late even though she had work in the morning so I knew she would answer and when she did I gave her every little detail about what happened after she dropped me off.
