ICU TOO

Chapter Thirty-One

Devale

"Wait—I'm about to—fuck!" Crystal moaned into my ear as she rode my dick at a steady pace.

Her body shook and I could feel her hands holding onto me for dear life. She finally came and collapsed on top of me just as I finished inside of her. We both lay there catching our breaths. I planted a kiss on her cheek making her smile. She rolled off of me and grabbed her phone.

"We need to go to sleep." She said playing with her now curly hair.

It was silk pressed in a cute style but our session started in the hot shower. After ten minutes, I realized I'd made her hair return to its natural state. I like the curls better anyway, it's sexier.

"Our bed is wet," I said chuckling.

"From what? My hair?" She asked winking.

I nod, "Mhm let's go with that." I said grabbing at her arm.

She lay back down and got under the covers with me. We both looked up at the ceiling still breathing kind of heavy. It feels good to be in this space with Crystal. I literally could've been murdered a few hours ago. But, I'm alive and now I wanna spend every second of the rest of my night .

"So you really don't wanna be a CEO anymore?" I ask Crystal making her sigh.

"Today was just... a lot." She replied quietly.

"I know but you shouldn't give up a good job. Plus, when was the last time a hospital had a black female CEO?" I ask making her smile.

"I'm gonna look for someone else who can fill the position and if I can't then I'll keep my job. But, I miss just being a doctor and coming home to my family, well now we have two more additions." She said shaking her head.

"And we're doing a good job." I tell her. "Terrell called me dad, tonight." I said smiling proudly.

Crystal smiled up at me, she was smiling so hard I thought her face was gonna pop.

"I'm happy for you." She said massaging my beard. 

"And I'm sure your time is coming soon." I tell her she chuckled. 

"I wouldn't bet on it, he has a lot of motherly trauma. I don't wanna rush anything." Crystal said shaking her head. "He never knew his dad so it doesn't matter but he knew and loved Rachel at some point. It's gonna take some time." She said as a yawn came over her. 

She snuggled up against me and I wrapped my arms around her. 

"What happens when Rachel is ready to regain parental rights over him?" I ask closing my eyes. "And the day they sit down and have a conversation, do we no longer hold that place in his heart as parents. Will he want to go be with his biological mom. I feel like when it comes to kids we just keep experiencing lost after lost, whether their our babies or not." I waited for a response from Crystal but when I didn't get one I finally looked at Crystal and saw her sound asleep on my chest. 

I kissed her forehead before reaching over to the lamp on my nightstand and cutting it off. I turned back to Crystal and wrapped my arms around her tightly, going to sleep in peace.

"Good morning, good morning!" DJ said running into the living room fully dressed. 

Crystal was walking down the stairs with a bottle of curly hair product in her hand. 

"You did not have to do this to me." She said playing in her curly hair.
