The Heart Wants What It Wants. (𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.)

- Two.

Letitia's POV.

            Tuesday May 4th 2022.

I rubbed my forehead in frustration trying to fix Dominique's car. It seems like whatever we do, nothing can fix it. We've been working on it for about 2 month's officially now and at this point she just needs to replace it.

"So if you haven't been driving this car, how are you getting around ?" I spoke as I was screwing in different parts. "I've kinda just been ubering and catching rides from friends." She shrugged while watching me closely. When she first watched me closely I'm not gonna lie it annoyed the fuck out of me but now I'm fine with it.

"What's so special about this car anyway?" I asked fixing my posture due to my back pain. "Well it was my dads." She looked down at the ground as I gave her a sympathetic look. She then stared at me with hope as I screwed on the final piece.

"Alright , try to see if it works." I moved back as she got in the car and put the keys in the ignition to start it. The car was finally running.

"Yes!" I held my hands up in victory as the girl screamed in the car. "Thanks Tish, I appreciate you so much!" She got out and jumped in my arms as we spun around. We suddenly tripped over one of the steps in her garage and she landed on top of me. Her big brown eyes were staring at me with so much..lust. And sadly , it was almost hard to refuse. I was about to place my hand on her waist. It was like a magnetic pull. So close yet so far.I cleared my throat as she got off of me and dusted herself off. The only thing on my mind was Cinnamon and I couldn't help but feel guilt.

"Um, if you need help with anything else just um, let me know yeah?" I scratched my head and got up grabbing my keys. She nodded as the tension began to rise higher than a New York skyscraper. I waved bye then walked out of the open garage door getting In my car. On top of what just happened I promised Cinnamon to pick her up from work and I'm 20 minutes late.

After a 15 minute speed drive I pulled up to her workplace and she wasn't anywhere to be found. Fuck this girl is going to kill me. I dialed her number before driving off as my insides turned from nervousness. She sent me straight to voicemail. I sighed pulling up to the complex as I ran inside,took a trip on the elevator and made it to our apartment. When I got inside I seen her on the couch watching tv with a pint of cookies and cream ice cream. She didn't even look my way.

"Hey babygirl." I walked over to the couch and sat down slowly. She glanced at me then went straight back to the tv. "Look I can explain." I started.

"No need to." She blandly said picking up the remote flipping through channels. I sighed loudly as she snapped her head at me.

"I'm not the one who forget to pick up their fiancée from work. You don't get to do the huffing and puffing." She rolled her eyes as they soon lead back to the tv. Her attitude sure has a way of getting under my skin even when I have no right to get upset.

"Baby I really apologize. It was a simple mistake that'll never happen again. I promise." I held out my pinky and looked at her with pleading eyes. She looked at my pinky and hesitantly latched hers as we both kissed it. I smiled at her seeing a grin appear on those glossy lips. "I missed you sweetheart." She said lowly.

"Oh really ? Then give me some kisses." I said getting on top of her as she screeched due to me being dirty and smelling like motor oil. "Baby get your dirty ass in that tub nowww!" She tried pushing me off which of course didn't work.

      "Come with me then." I smirked as she glared at me. "I'll beat you there." There was a moment of silence before we both scuffled off the couch and ran to the bathroom. The girl was indeed fast but I love a good competition. I grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back hearing her scream out in joy. "Cheater!" She said kicking her feet while I was running to the room to throw her on the bed. "Don't hate the player baby!" I danced in victory while she picked up a pillow and hit me straight in my face.

    You on games tonight O?" I picked up the pillow and walked towards her. Her expression was absolutely priceless. It was like a deer in headlights. After a couple of seconds of her pleading I threw the pillow so hard that her body laid back on the bed and bounced back up. "You know what?" Her hair was all over the place as I covered my mouth to keep from laughing.

   These are the best moments of our relationship. Us being silly and being our best selves to each other. How could I ever leave a woman that's so down for me? How could I almost let another woman get so close to me and tempt me so bad when I have the love of my life right here?

     I couldn't help but to just stare at her.. her laughing and smiling not knowing that another woman got so close to me.
