    BIDDING HER FRIENDS FAREWELL, Renae exited the classroom with a pep in her step. Jemari would be picking her up and she was excited to see him, especially after all that happened between them yesterday. A blush flushed her cheeks as the memories came rushing back. . . After they'd cleaned up themselves, they chatted for a while and she asked if he attended her solo. He admitted to being there and it made her heart surge that he'd show up for her without her asking him to. After they got done talking, she accompanied him to the gym where she met his friend Tyler and playfully threatened him not to mess with Jemari's face again.

Seeing Jemari's car, Renae strolled over to him, face brightening by how he was looking at her. There was always such adoration in his eyes for her, it left a swarm of butterflies in her stomach.

"Hey," she greeted, coming to a stop before him.

Instead of a verbal reply, Jemari held beneath her chin. Renae went on the tips of her toes, placing her lips against his and smiling into the kiss. She wasn't used to public displays of affection from him, so she savored the moment until it came to its end.

Pulling away, Jemari gave her that boyish smirk that had her insides tingling. She almost cursed herself, she was twenty and in college yet this man always had her blushing like a schoolgirl.

Taking her seat, Renae patiently waited as he closed the door behind her then went behind the steering.

Jemari drove off before he asked, "How was your clinical?"

"It was. . . something," she said with a shudder, remembering how she was taking blood from a person who failed to alert her that they were scared of needles. The person had fainted and Renae almost did the same, thinking she accidentally injured them or worse.

Seeing the horrified expression on her face made Jemari chuckle. "I want to ask but I know you won't answer."

"Exactly," she said with a cheeky smile before looking through the window. She felt Jemari's hand brush hers and she looked over, realizing that he was trying to take her hand in his. She gave him her hand with a smile and he briefly looked away from the road to flash her a grin. Looking back through the window, she frowned. "Yaa kidnap mi, Jemari? This isn't the way to my house."

"We're going to my house."

"You have a house?"

"Recently bought."

"Oh. . . okay," she said, relaxing into the seat. Soon, they parked before a nice-looking bungalow. Jemari led them inside and Renae looked around in wonder. "I love it."

"Thanks," he replied. "Time for me to move out of Dad's house until I'm back on tour."

She nodded in understanding. "Can I use your shower?" she asked, her skin felt icky being in a hospital all day.

"Yea," he said, leading her to the bathroom. and giving her supplies to take care of herself.

After showering, Renae found him in the office tapping away on his desktop. Jemari glanced up, eyes trailing over her and sending chills throughout her body. Feeling self-conscious, Renae pulled at the bottom of the shirt, wishing she had asked him to make a stop at her house first.

"Come here," Jemari ordered, tapping his thigh. "Have a seat."

Her heart leapt as she walked over to him. She sat on him, feeling cold air hit her bare cunt. His hands found her waist and inwardly she swooned, realizing he had a tendency to do that.
