“Ma!” Blue yelled as I tossed her into the swimming pool, it was a hot Saturday and she suggested
swimming. I laughed at her, she’s full of drama. “oh, I am so getting you back” she made a mean look face and I continued to laugh “I’m sure you will” I responded.
After swimming we made lunch and I misplaced my phone and asked Blue to look for it, “your girlfriend is mad” Blue said as she gave me my phone, wait what girlfriend? I looked at my phone and it was text a from Onika. “why did you snoop?” she giggled and said, “I didn’t, I picked it up and the messages came through while looking at the screen” Blue left to go inside.
Onika- can you give me a chance?
Me- for what exactly?
Onika- talk
Me- I did and you kept quiet
Onika- I know, it’s not easy
Me- you are making it hard for yourself. You are not gay, that’s what you said to me and you let me kiss you.
With no reply from her, I locked my phone and went in the house to take a shower. Later at the night once again Onika asked me to come over and said her kids were away. I should had said no but here I was outside her apartment knocking on the door.“Hey, come in” Onika greeted and stood aside to let me in. “hi” I replied and got in, it was 7pm and she was in her night wear already. I put my phone and car keys on the kitchen counter and looked at her, I wanted to ask why she asked me over but before I could utter any word she kissed me.
The kiss lasted for 15 seconds, after she broke the kiss and held my face with her eyes closed. Once she opened her eyes she started to pull away, afraid of my reaction but I pulled her flush against me and looked her straight in the eyes. She could understand what I was asking with my eyes as she nodded and I quickly smashed my lips with hers.
We kissed all the way to her bedroom, as she was about remove her gown I stopped her and she started apologizing “I’m sorry, I thought this is what you wanted” I couldn’t believe my eyes.“You thought that’s all I wanted, sex?” I raised my voice, she didn’t say anything and just sat
down on her bed. “No, I just didn’t think you would want me for me…” she chocked up and I felt bad immediately.
I sat next to her and wiped the tears off her face. “don’t cry, I hate seeing you cry” she sniffled and looked at me, “I like you so much…” said Onika, “I know you do” I pulled her in for a hug. We ended up inside the blankets in silence and she spoke up “I am gay” it’s like she was telling herself. “I dated a girl in high school and my mom caught us kissing in my room. She promised not to tell my dad if I stopped.” My gaydar had never let me down before, so I was confused with Onika at first but now it’s clear. “It must had been tough for you” I replied and she nodded.
I slept over and for once I was content with her in my arms, I had a good feeling things would work out between us.
I was first to wake up in the morning, I took a pic Onika sleeping, she looked amazing and I saved it as my lock screen. I went to get breakfast while she was still sleeping and when I got
back, I found her in the sitting room. “I thought you left” she stood up and hugged me, “of course not, just went to get food” I replied as I let go of her and opened the takeaway bag.“I should get going” I told her, it was around 11am as we laid on the couch. “do you have too?” she asked with her head on my chest. “yeah, Blue is alone” she nodded and raised her head. Before I knew it she enclosed her lips with mine.
“See you tomorrow” I pecked her lips at the door and left. We had yet to talk about us but I think I know where we stand.
“So when am I meeting your girlfriend?” Blue asked, we settled in my bed after dinner. “what
girlfriend?” I counted back. “the one you keep meeting at night” she gave me the duh look and I laughed at her. “for what it’s worth, I am happy for you…you deserve it” I pulled her in for a hug and kissed her temple. “I love you” I told her, “I love you, ma” she replied.
Monday morning; I woke in a great mood, I sent Onika a good morning text and went to get
ready for work.While eating breakfast with Blue I checked my phone and saw her reply;
Onika- good morning, can’t wait to see you
I dropped Blue off at school and went to work.
Surprisingly Onika was professional through the entire day even though she wore an extra smile when I interacted with her. “Ready to go?” I asked her as she entered my office. “yes…” she replied holding her bag.
I was dropping Onika home “what are you doing this Saturday?” she put her phone on her lap “no plans, why?” great, I thought. “I want to take you out” she kept quiet for a minute and
suddenly said, “I’d like that” I was anxious for a minute there “great”.
We arrived at her place and sat in the car for a good 5 minutes, “the nanny is probably ready to leave” Onika said. “alright, want me to fetch you tomorrow morning?” she shook her head, “no, I manage well.” She pecked my lips and got out of the car.
Saturday
I planned of taking Onika out for dinner but with the way she acted in the car, I don’t how she’d react being on a date with me a woman in public. I have to hope for the best.
I knocked on the door and waited for her to answer, “Hey…” she opened the door and I was speechless, she looked amazing. “wow” I said and she blushed, “you look gorgeous” I said as I got in. “you too” she looked like she was ready but I still asked, “ready to go?” she nodded “let me just get my purse”.
I had reserved a table for two at the ‘Views’ restaurant, the name says it all. The dinning was at the roof top and the view is amazing “this is delicious” she pointed at her steak, I nodded in agreement. I couldn’t help but admire her as she ate, I wanted this picture engraved in my mind.
Dinner turned out great, her smile and great mood was an indication.
She agreed to sleepover and the drive to my place was sweet, she held my hand the entire way. It was 11pm when we arrived, I borrowed her my night wear as she went to take a shower first.
After we were both done we settled in bed “I had a great night” Onika said cuddled up to me. “me too” I caressed her cheek and her cheeks turned pink from blushing, I was happy and content. We fell asleep after a session of kissing.
It was the morning after and after breakfast we sat outside under a tree. “the kid’s father, is he around?” I asked and she tensed up “no” I knew when not to press. “I had Blue through IVF with a sperm donor” she only nodded, as though she had no interest in the topic which was just plain weird and rude but I let it slide.
I took Onika home in the afternoon and on my way back I fetched Blue from her cousin’s place.
