Loved The Right Way (My Husbands Best Friend)

Chapter Twenty-four

When I awoke the next day, I hopped up from bed and then realized where I was. I guess I had been waking up in the same place for so many years it sort of threw me off. I went into Little L's room, and he was asleep. He looked so peaceful when he slept. He looked just like a little angel. I sat down on his bed, then lay beside him and placed my arm around him. I then kissed him on his cheek, and he didn't budge. I then laid my head on his pillow and watched him breathe.

I then heard a scratchy voice say, "Good morning, Mom. Are you okay?"

"Of course, I'm okay, baby. Why would you ask me that?"

"Usually, when you come into my room, you wake me up by kissing all over my face."

"There is nothing wrong with me, sweetie. You just looked so peaceful sleeping I didn't want to bother you. You also need to stop thinking about your mom and worry about all of this tickling that is coming your way." I said as I started tickling him all over his stomach and sides.

The phone rang. I stopped tickling him and looked at the phone. "It's your auntie. Hello."

"Hey sis" Niecey said with a lot of cheer in her voice.

"Hey what's up." I said as I kissed Lamar on his forehead and stood up from his bed.

"Hi Auntie!" Lamar screamed.

"Hey, my favorite nephew." she yelled. "I was just calling to see how your first night was at your new home?"

"I guess it was okay. I need to get used to it. I woke up this morning and didn't even know where I was." I said as I laughed.

" Well, I'm going to come by so we can have some breakfast. Tell my baby I am coming, and I am bringing breakfast. Does he want anything special?"

I turned to Little L and said, "your crazy aunt is on her way over she wants to know if you want anything special before she gets here."

Lamar hopped up. "Yeah, yeah. I want the new Spider man."

"No, she means for breakfast."

"Don't say that to him. I can stop past a store and pick-up spider man for my nephew if that's what he wants."

"Fine if you want to go to store hunting for spider man early in the morning then go ahead. Good luck. Bye." I said as I hung the phone up.

As soon as I hung up the phone my doorbell rang. " I knew your aunt was outside trying to fool us. Come on lets go and eat." I gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"Yeah food. Let's eat." he said as he ran into the living room toward the door.

"Slow down."

"Okay, I'm going to open the door for Auntie Nee?" as he ran up the few steps to the door.

"Yes, go ahead I'm going to set the table." I walked into the kitchen to get the plates to set the table. "What are you doing here?" I said as I saw Lamar standing there with food in his hand.

"I got your favorite, a waffle with a western omelet and a side of sour cream." he said as he walked into the back toward the bedrooms."

"I already have plans for breakfast." I said as I walked behind him.

"This is a very nice place. I guess you have plans with Mr. lover man, huh?"

"Thank you. And no, I am not having breakfast with "Mr. Lover man, I am having breakfast with my sister if you must know. Not that it is any of your business who I have breakfast with."

He walked into my bedroom and looked around and said, "This actually is really nice. It would be even nicer if I lived here with you."

"I don't think so. You didn't make the last place that we lived look too good." I said as I started making up my bed.

"Why don't you call your sister and tell her that you changed your mind about breakfast and y'all can do it another time." he said as he approached me and put his arms around my waist and turned me around. I just don't know what this man has over me, but it is very powerful, and I wished that it weren't. The bad thing is he knows this, and I know he gets off on that shit.

"Why are you all up in my space?" I said to him as I pushed him but not enough for him to move.

He whispered in my ear. "Now you love me in your space and everywhere else that has to deal with you and your body."

And he was right. "No, I really don't. I like it when you are completely out of my space and out of my life. Now get off me."

"You are not fooling me. I know you love me and still want me." he said as he took one hand from around my waist and moved my hair from the side of my face.

True again. As I quickly changed the subject "What is Little L doing? He is awfully quiet." I said as I pulled his hand off of my waist and started walking toward the bedroom door. I knew that if I didn't get out of that room at that moment, I would do something that I could not take back.

"Go ahead and change the subject. I know that it is true. I don't know why you are trying to fight it."

I didn't turn around I just kept walking out of the room like I didn't even hear him.

When he entered back into the dining area, he gave Little L a kiss on the forehead and said, "Hey man, I'll be back later to pick you up so we can go and play some ball."

"Okay, dad."

"What happened, I thought you wanted to stay for breakfast so badly?" I said as I followed him to the front door.

"Why do you care if I stay or leave? I thought you had plans?"

"I do, but you were just so adamant just a few minutes ago about staying, now you want to leave. I don't care if you leave. I was just saying." I must admit that I was a little upset that he was leaving.

"I already know the answer to what I came here for and I didn't even have to stay for breakfast before I knew." Then he winked his eye.

"Before you knew what?' I asked as I slipped my hip to the side and placed my hand on my waist.

"That you still want me? And I haven't lost my touch." he said as he licked his lips in a seductive way.

"Oh, now I know it's time for you to go. You are delusional." then I walked to the door and opened it.

Niecey was standing outside the door with her fist up about to knock on the door.

"Hey, Lamar." she said with a confused look on her face.

"Hey, Niecey." then he turned around and said, "Hey son I will be back to get you in about three hours so get yourself together and pack some things because you are going to stay at our house tonight." he said he winked his eye at me with a devilish smirk on his face.

"What was that all about?" Niecey said as she walked over and gave Little L a bag and a hug.

"Nothing Lamar being Lamar."
