Kindle Notes & Highlights
Did I really need the spark? Not really. I wasn’t trying to fall in love. I was looking for a nut. A big one. Huge. I’d imposed a moratorium on doing it myself. I practically had nerve damage from using my vibrator every night. My poor hand started trembling if it came close to my rose. So, nope. I wasn’t doing it myself. I needed him and his high-pitched voice to get me there.
I deserve a man who knows he has a dick between his legs. Ain't nobody got time for the PBS afternoon special safe words. Call that motherfucker what it is. A DICK. D.I.C.K."
"Yo, you really just gave me that white person smize?" his tone said he was offended, but his smile said he was amused. I could see the subtle gray hairs in his beard that did nothing to age him and everything to increase his appeal. He looked wise.
"You didn't meet me," he corrected, "I don't know your name. You don't know mine."
I cracked up, "Sadly, neither. No, um… I have…" I peered into the living room, trying to see if I could see the girls, then pointed them out. "I have two friends who've laid claims to you. Y'all are gonna have a threesome later." He immediately clutched his invisible pearls, "Oh my."
"Well, yeah, if I was building them. But I'm not. The owner is trying to offload them to keep his ex from getting them. Something about him finding her bent over in front of his stepson from a previous marriage." "Shiiiiiit." "Yeah, it's a wild story. So, he's getting rid of shit, and I'm getting them at practically a steal. They're already well run, so I'd just need to get a few hires in there, and that's that."
We sat there, and each ate two cupcakes, passing the jug of milk back and forth like it was a 40, and I couldn't have been more at peace. There was nowhere else I'd have rather been then right there with her, doing the most lowkey shit ever. "Alright," she turned to me once the cupcakes and milk were gone. "This cuddling…" "Yes, ma'am?" she could say whatever she wanted; my night was already.
Oh, shit. My mouth was wide open as I cracked up. She definitely wasn't supposed to see that. "It's all coming back to me is my shit," I declared unabashedly. "Oh, please understand; it was very clear in your performance." "You should've joined me." "Nah, you had solo act energy. I didn't want to intrude. I was torn between singing it myself and watching your performance.
"I'm glad too." I squeezed her tighter. "Thank you so much for this," she nodded towards the stage. "I didn't have a clue who we were seeing." "I found out this morning." "Well, again, thank you." I thought she'd move from the hug, but she didn't. She stayed there, looking between my eyes and lips. That was all the invitation I needed. There wasn't an ounce of hesitation as I kissed her, on either of our parts. I thought for a split second she might pull away, but she got even higher on her toes to reach me better.

"I even told you when you left Mommy's house. So, stop trying to make this shit seem like a reaction to liquor. You're it for me. I keep telling you. You are absolutely going to be my wife.

I don't want to force you to be with me. It's cool that you don't feel the same way. I need to fall back." That last part was said more to himself than me. "Let's go to bed.
