Chapter Forty-Six

Crystal

I woke up early this morning in a good mood. Devale and I are back in each other's good graces. He's staying with me this weekend and I want to be able to spend some time with him and DJ. Not to mention, the sexual tension between us is really high.

But to show him that I am not mad at him anymore I decided to cook breakfast for us before I go into work.

"Good morning beautiful." I hear as turned the oven on.

I turn my head and see Devale walking into the kitchen with DJ in his arms.

"Good morning." I said smiling at his word.

"You're cooking?" He asked looking at me.

"Uh yeah I have to go to work for a few hours. My mom is on her way over here." I tell Devale.

"I can watch DJ, ya know?" Devale suggested.

I smile and shrug. "She likes to spend time with him. She said something about some aquarium. But I'm sure she'd love it if you tag along." I tell him.

Devale put DJ in his high chair and when he was done he walked over to me.

"We should talk about last night." He said.

"What about last night?" I ask playing dumb.

"The kiss." He responded.

"It's just a kiss." I tell him.

Devale chuckled before speaking. "Just a kiss?" He asked.

"Yeah I mean we're exes and we kissed. But it doesn't mean anything right?" I ask tucking my hair behind my ear.

"I guess not." Devale said squinting. "So you won't mind if we do it again?" He asked grabbing my hands.

I tried to ignore his cute face and seductive words. But, I failed. Slowly falling into his trap. He grabbed my waist with one hand and pulled me closer. We shared a passionate kiss. Devale tried to put his hand on the button of my jeans but I quickly jumped back.

"You're gonna make me burn our food." I tell him.

He let me go and I went to the oven. I took the biscuits out and turned the oven off.

"Those biscuits don't look better than you. I'm just saying." He said licking his lips.

I could tell by his smile that he all wanted was to get me in a dark room alone so that he could make up for missed time. As much as I love flirting with Devale that I am going to hold out from sleeping with him, until we can figure everything else. I don't want to make anything more complicated than what it is.

"Dada.." DJ called from his highchair.

Devale and I both looked at him.

"What's up big man?" Devale asked walking over to our son.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

I snapped out of my thoughts and went to the door. I opened it and it was my mother.

"Good morning mom, I just got done with breakfast." I tell her.

"Hey baby. Your dad is on the way." She said.

"Okay." I said leaving the door unlocked.

My mom stopped and looked in the kitchen. She looked back at me and smiled.

"Did Devale stay the night?" She asked in a low tone.

I smack my lips. "Yes, but not like that." I said putting my hand up. "I didn't want him to stay the night in the hotel-"
