The Ultimate Sin (BWWM)

20. Memories Faded

Emerald awoke the next day, getting ready for work. She felt good. A part of her felt really bad for making love to her fiancé while thinking of another man, while another part of her didn't care.

Work went by smoothly. When she finally made it back to her house, she found it to be empty. Antonio was going to be working overtime.

Emerald took this time to clean up the house a little bit. It stayed clean but they were in the process of redecorating.

The sound of Destiny's Child-'T Shirt' played through the speakers as she packed things up into a box.

At night, when you're far and I'm alone
I feel the fabric from your t-shirt
Flow with my body
I can still hear your baritone
In my ear telling me
You'll take it slow
And I was in the mirror playing role
Like you were here I couldn't turn me on
So I, fell asleep with the music on
Woke up again hearing the same ole song playin'

(Oh) Give it to me deeper
(Oh) Giving me the fever
(Oh) Now you got my feet up
This one is a keeper
Now the second verse is playin'
(Oh) We tried to stand up
(Oh) Hold me while my hands up
(Oh) And the music picks up
Now he sees my shirt off
I'm thinking to myself again

When you're not here
I sleep in your t-shirt
I wish you here
To take off your t-shirt
After we make love
I sleep in your t-shirt
Wake up in t-shirt
Still smell the scent of your cologne

Memories of David and I flashed in my mind. I can still remember like it was yesterday.

I was making dinner, fresh out of the shower, with only a thong and his button up on. Music played in the background.

I was dancing, while chopping up vegetables to sauté.

David walked through the front door, hearing music playing while his nose was filled with an amazing aroma. He took his jacket off, walking further into his lover's house. He found her in the kitchen, swaying her hips, cooking in only his t-shirt.

He crept up behind her, grabbing her by her waist. She jumped and turned but calmed when she saw who it was. "Hey beautiful" he said. "Hi" she replied. She always had butterflies around David.

"I see you got dinner ready"

"Almost, I'll be done in about thirty minutes"

David chuckled. "I wasn't talking about the food baby"

Emerald blushed, leaning in to kiss David.

Her doorbell being rung broke her from her thoughts. She sat the old vase down, getting up to answer the door. She looked through the peephole, seeing David. She was confused.

She opened it, and was immediately greeted by David's smile. "Hi David, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, I was in the neighborhood and figured I'd stop by. You said you were redecorating the place and wanted some work done"

I took in his appearance. He wore a white t-shirt, jeans, a construction hat, and work boots. "Yea, well come on in"

He walked in, looking around. David knew exactly what he was doing. He remembered them passing by her house on the way to his and decided he'd come visit her. Knowing she was hot and bothered from yesterday, he continued to play on that. As much as he wanted to let her know exactly how much he missed her, he figured he'd wait for her to make the first move.
