A Few Days Later | Wednesday, November 2nd

7 PM

I step onto his verandah, knocking lightly on the wooden door to announce my presence.

Hearing shuffling behind the door, I step back, waiting for him to open it.

It's been days since we last meet, and me kinda anxious...

In just a few seconds, we're face to face, and my heart can't help but skip a beat.

"Yuh look pretty mama" he declares, a slow grin spreading across his face, as he motioned for me to step into his house.

Keep your cool.

"Yuh want me so bad" I taunt, as I place my purse down on his center table.

"Yeah, but that's nothing new though, right?" he challenges, and I can tell he's smirking.

I turn to look at him, a playful smirk is pulling at the corner of his lips.

Just as I thought.

He steps closer, forcing me to press up againts the back of the couch.

"Yuh do sumn new to yuh hair?" he questions, grabbing ahold of my face into the palm of his hands.

"Mhmm," I say shyly, batting my eyes as I look up at him, "Colored it, and cut off a few inches."

I needed sumn different.

"Me like eh, brings out your features more" he replies, leaning down ever so slightly, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Him wah feel di cocky?

"Thank you," I tell him, my gaze never leaving his.

"It's my favorite look I've done"

I could feel my cheeks heating up, it was clear that I was enjoying the interaction a little too much.

"Yuh eat dinner yet?" he questions, licking at his lips as he speaks.

I continue to close the gap that separates us, pushing my torso forward.

Alex who?

"No, not yet" I answer, tilting my head as much as I can, "You?"

Shaking his head, his breath hitches in his throat before he answers.

"Yuh wah we guh get sumn now? Then we can fawud back up yasso..."

He didn't release my face, grazing his fingers over my skin as he held it in place.
