Irik

four years later and all grown up, I think???

Devin above^

AN/  SO here we are four years later and and both irik and kim have found stable jobs after graduating in their respective fields.  Irik moved into a high rise apartment building that his "uncle" left him and  he then offered the empty one across from him to kim.

Kim's p.o.v

"So..just exactly where are you going tonight and with whom?" Irik grilled me via phone

" don't be so nosy....I will be fine, just dinner and  conversation around the corner at la belle restaurant. " I state

And hang up...knowing full well what woild happen I stand next to my apartment door. Three...two. ..one, the pounding on my door begins, I open it with a wide smile on my face.

"Hello lovely, how are you darling? Long time no see" I sing sweetly to him

I hold back my laughter at his serious expression. He eyes turn that lovely dark grey when he is upset. I know it's wrong to annoy a friend on purpose, but he makes it look so gosh darn cute. " you know I hate when you do that!" He says

" do what?" I feign innocence

Out of know where he brings a hard hand down on my butt.

"Ouch!" I say rubbing the sting away

"Why?" I ask him

And he hugs me  and says " so you know im not joking, I get worried that something happened to you when the line suddenly goes dead you know."

"Its not like I'm a candidate for being kidnapped or something. ..but i promise I won't hang up anymore." I reassure him

"So silk chocolate,  where are you going?" He asks releasing me

" you know, you are very strong and a solid wall of muscle for someone who has never played a sport ever. " I say to him while walking back into my room

" I like to keep fit for the ladies." He replies

We both know that is a lie....I haven't dated in years and I swear since we have met neither has he.

"Oh? Why don't you double date with me then...call up one of your many chicks." I challenge him

"Ok." He gets out his phone and starts dialing. Two minutes later he has a date lined up.  Smh, only he could pull that off I swear...women just melt for him.

I think nothing of pulling my robe off in front of him, we have been friends too long to be shy around each other. I swear he is the only friend I have made since college.

We have shared the same bed a time or two after a long night of food, movies and wine. In my bra and panties set I lotion up and put on my body oils, while he reads the newspaper in the chair by my bed. See, no interest in me what so ever.  I just slip into my pumps for the night when I nudge him with my finger on the side of his head. He looks up at me and asks if I'm ready to go. " sure am, but aren't you gonna get freshened up?" I ask

" um..I was fresh when I walked over here mik." He states

For some reason he gets a thrill out of calling me mik...which is kim backwards. He says it's a nickname for me by only him, which is true....everyone else calls me kimmy or kim. He gets up and grabs my keys from me and insists we car pool.

" how will that look to my date huh, another man driving me to the date and walking me in?" I ask him

" no worries he will be ok with it once we explain there is saftey in numbers." He laughs
