Whispered Promises

Chapter Fifteen

"Elizabeth are you up?", I'm awakened by my cousin banging on my room door.

"Yes, I'm up", I yelled back.

"Are you at least dressed? We need to leave soon.", She attempted to open the door, but it was locked. "Why is your door locked?".

I looked over to see Daryl lying beside me half naked. I smiled and as much as I tried to reminisce about the events last night, my thoughts kept getting interrupted by the excessive banging coming from the other side of my bedroom door. I get up from bed and put on a robe to cover myself. I slightly opened the door, to see Alijah already dressed in her bridesmaid's dress. It was a lilac form-fitting dress with a square neckline that stopped right above her knees.

"Why are you banging on my door like you're the police?", I slightly scolded her.

"I would have to if you woke up on time. You need to start getting dressed. Your mother is downstairs stressed out because my mother is late. And where is Daryl?".

"Girl, I don't know. Check his room.", I lied. "I'll be ready soon".

"Yeah, okay", Alijah sucked her teeth.

"What's that supposed to mean?", I asked her.

"Nothing, just get dressed, we have to leave soon.", Alijah said before walking away.

I turn around to see Daryl lying on his side, "She knows I'm in here.".

"No, she doesn't. We're fine.".

He sits up and signals me to come to him. I walked over to him and straddled his lap. "Your mom is gonna go ballistic if she finds out I sleep in your room.", he says as he's rubbing my thighs.

"She'll be fine. My mother has a lot more to worry about than what's going on in my bedroom".

Daryl reaches for my chin and leans in to kiss me but stops at the sound of someone knocking on my bedroom door.

"Daryl, someone is on the phone for you", Alijah yelled through the door.

"I told you she knows I'm in here", Daryl laughed.

"Shush, She doesn't know anything", I covered his mouth.

"Daryl is not in here", I yelled back.,

"Daryl, they said it was urgent.", now with an annoyed tone.

Daryl smacked my butt, "Alright, get up so I can get the phone.".

I firmly planted myself and started to grind against him slightly. "And what if I don't want to?".

Daryl grabbed a hold of my hips to stop me. "Stop it or you're gonna get yourself in trouble.", he growled against my lips. "Maybe I like trouble", I whispered in his ear before I added pressure against him. He groans.

"Daryl not in here", I yelled out again to Alijah. I started to slowly move my hips against him.

"You're such a troublemaker".

"Yeah, but you like that", I leaned down to kiss him. The moment my lips touched his, his hand reached my face. As he held me, he kissed me gently but desperately. He moved his lips from mine to my jaw, down my neck, and continued to my collarbone.

"Daryl~", I moaned.

I could feel him reach for my robe to take it off but stop at the loud banging on my door.

"Y'all are disgusting horndogs! Separate or we'll never be ready for this wedding.", Alijah yelled through the door. I let out a sigh of disappointment and rested my head on Daryl's shoulder.
