She opened the door and the scent of coconut cream and vanilla invaded my senses. She looked at my grinning face with confusion while stepping back to allow me entrance into the apartment. As I walked in and stood there I watched her lock an ungodly amount of deadbolts. "Why does she need that many locks on one door" I thought. As my eyes went to her body I saw that she had on a very sexy shorts and spaghetti strap top, she look so damn sexy. Her caramel skin glowing, her hair was wrapped in a shirt and it looked damped I figured she had just washed it. She turned to look at me with a half smile.
"Hay" she finally said.
"Hi" i said , smiling down at her. Compared to my 6ft 4 she really was short and i found that so fucking cute.
I lifted my hands with the two bottles of wine, one red and one white
"Pops told me you liked wine but I was not sure what we were having so I brought both".She looked at me intensely as if she was trying to read my mind through my eyes. "This way". she said, leading me through the living room towards a kitchen/dining area I good not take my eyes off her backside.
Her apartment was very neat and neutral. Very clean and put together almost too neat.Pointing to a chair at the table that she was sitting earlier, a plate sat on the table with a half eaten spaghetti and shrimp meal. My eyes went to her, she was now standing on tip toes trying to retrieve glasses from the cupboard. I smiled watching her. It was only then that I focused on the tattoos on her back. She didn't seem like the tattoo type but then again neither did I yet my whole back was etched with ink. I also saw a hug scar on her left shoulder.
I will find out in time.
She turned around setting two glasses on the counter before going over to the refrigerator and opening it.
"I have spaghetti and garlic butter shrimp, garden salad with chicken strips and lasagna?". she said, looking towards me.
Pops had told me that she was a gifted person and that she had many talents but her cooking and baking were on another level.
"I will have the first option". I stated."Cool" she said taking the container over to the counter and putting it in the microwave. A few minutes later she walked over to me with my plate. It smelled amazing she handed me the fork and returned to fetch the glasses and a bottle opener. I could not keep my eyes off her ass as she walked around the kitchen. I could feel myself getting excited but I had to remain focused.
I wanted to see what Pops saw in her. I wanted to get to know her but my sexual attraction to her was undeniable.
My grandfather had told me a little about Amanda. He made me promise to get to know her. He has expressed that he hoped we would fall in love. I was so shocked by his proclamation, I sat in his office looking at him for a good minute. I had eventually promised to get to know her but that I was not looking to fall in love and could not promise him that.
She sat down now handing me the bottle opener as she placed the glasses on the table."Red or white?" I asked
"White" she responded going back to eating her dinner.
"Why are you here?" she asked looking me dead in the eyes as I handed her a glass with the white wine. She put it to her lips sipping it not taking her eyes off me.
