Playtime Rules

Rule #19: When All Rules Are Broken Makes New Ones

"Looking good baby, I missed you."

"I missed you more."

Yancy jumped into his arms, wrapped her legs around his waist, and kissed him. It had only been a day since she saw him last. They talked on the phone all night but decided they wanted to sleep in their own beds.

She never felt so alone all night. Missing having his warm body next to hers.

"I see how much," he said with a laugh.

"I think I missed your cooking even more. Please tell me you are going to feed me tonight."

"Of course baby."

The man had the outdoor grill going, making a batch of grilled chicken breast and veggies. He must be cooking to have prepped meals for days. It was so much.

"I'm making you some food prep meals for home, babe. You like my cooking so much."

"Aaaw!" She gave him a long kiss. "You didn't have to do that for me. Why are you so sweet?"

"It's nothing."

"Do I need to pay you? That's a lot of food and costs and-"

"Stop that. Can't I cook for my girlfriend?"

She smiled at that. That was the first time she was called that in years. Since Allistar. She was someone's girlfriend and she liked it. New territory for her.

"Okay, then I am treating my boyfriend when we go to the game tomorrow. Everything on me."

"Deal."

Everything JeVonte cooked was delicious, as always. She stuffed herself, then laid out by the pool in shorts and her bra, rubbing her stomach. JeVonte put things away in the kitchen and then joined her.

He came over to her, kneeled down, and kissed her stomach.

"This body."

She laughed, pushing him away. "Having the best trainer and nutritionist helps."

He scooped her up and lay on the chaise with her. "We're not going to fall asleep out here." He planted kisses all over her neck. "And how long are we waiting baby, I want you."

She felt like she needed to wait, or else tell him about Allistar. That was three weeks ago, and she wished she controlled herself. It was a good thing she did not sleep with Jabari.

New territory. Before she would sleep around from guy to guy. With no strings attached to them, there was never a need to explain. All her rules were broken and she had yet to make new ones. What were the new rules for dating?

"Come on, you can wait for me a little longer."

"Can I?" His hand slid down her shorts, his fingers dipping into her. "I'll wait, but I need a taste."

He pulled his fingers up to his mouth and licked them. "Damn! That's like only licking the icing off the cake but not eating the whole damn cake."

She laughed so hard at him she thought she would bust. After they sat outside and relaxed for a while, they then headed to the bedroom. She took a shower and prepared for bed, and then he did as well. Then all they did was cuddle and kiss a little all night.

The next day, she had lots of work before they would go to the Cardinal's baseball game. She dressed in her Cardinals all red dress, and red Converse, and grabbed a red baseball cap. She was picking JeVonte up from the gym because he could not cancel his last client and was done with them at six and the game started at seven-thirty.

He showered and changed at the club and was also decked out in Cardinals red.

Her season passes were two great seats close to first base. She was a big fan of baseball, having gone to games all her life. Her parents were big fans. They never could afford to go often, it was always a treat once it twice a year. Having season passes felt to her like a big accomplishment.
