SOUL TIES

What's Next?

I opened my eyes and it took me some seconds to remember that I was at Jamie's. He wasn't in bed though. I could hear music play lowly somewhere probably in the living room. I got up and the previous night's memories came flooding in. I felt a bit shy just remembering how nasty it all got.

I handled my business in the washroom, washing my face and brushing my teeth. There was a new toothbrush placed beside the sink. How thoughtful of him. I hadn't carried any skin care because the previous night had been totally unplanned. At least he had a moisturizer and facial oil that I used. I was fingers crossed that it wouldn't cause any reactions on my face.

I went to the living room and found Jamie on a call looking all serious and shit. How sexy. He smiled when he saw me. "Ayyt man, I'll hit you up in a few hours. Make sure you follow up on the restaurant." he said hanging up.

"Looking sexy this morning." he said walking towards me. I rolled my eyes playfully. He really doesn't quit. "So, there's fresh juice in the fridge. I was waiting for you to get up so we'd order breakfast." I walked to his fridge smiling. I hadn't said a word yet. He spoke so casually like nothing had happened the previous night.

For some reason, I was feeling kinda shy. "At least you can walk." he said smirking and I blushed. "Stoooppp." I said covering my face with my palms.
"Oh, you shy now?" he asked walking towards me. He picked me up and placed me on the kitchen Island. "We should go out on a date soon." he said. I felt weird when he said that.

"What do you mean a date?"
"You know what I'm talking about. Maybe lunch or dinner somewhere fancy."
I got from the island and walked to the opposite side from where he stood. I felt paranoid for some reason. Remember when I said I'd run when someone told me they loved me? I wanted to run.

" What's that face Ave? You don't wanna go out? It's okay. "he said looking confused. Damn. If he only knew how scared I was. Fucking and hanging out was okay with me. In my opinion, relationship and dating stuff would put a strain on what we already had.

Jamie POV.

I didn't expect Avery to act like she did. It was hard to know what was on her mind. She never gave direct answers to deep questions that I asked. I wanted to know her. I liked her. I was a few years older than her but she handled herself more mature than girls my age. She was hot and would look good on my arm.

She was a complex girl though. I wanted to see some real emotion from her. The only time I felt emotion from her was when fucking. She was a nasty one fr.

I didn't want to rush her so I backed down and let nature take its course. I was feeling her so I wanted to know where her mind was at. We had formed an instant connection and I wouldn't mind her being my girl. On the real, I felt like age was catching up with me. My moms was always calling asking whether I had found a girl. She did put some pressure on me.

Finding a girl who would keep up with my mind and libido was hard. Avery was smart and could fuck. I needed a queen that I would take care of and in turn take care of me. That's what every man dreams about. My businesses were doing well. All three of my restaurants and two airbnbs were doing great. My spas were thriving too and I was in the process of opening up a tattoo parlor. The only thing remaining was a queen to help me hold it all together.

AVERY POV.

We were done having breakfast and Jamie was telling me about his various businesses. This was the biggest turn on for me.
Thank God he had stopped talking about us going on a date. I didn't need that kind of pressure at the moment.

He dropped me off near campus since he was going to check on one of his spas that was around campus. "When will I see you next?" he asked as I alighted his black jeep Rubicon.
