Zion POV
KB led us up into VIP past the label officials and past AJ and Ni, she gave me an encouraging smile. I'm beginning to think this was a set up. We sat in a circled booth that was the farthest from everyone in a corner. He slid in next to me. His face close to mine while he spoke. His scent was intoxicating, mouthwatering to say the least. The music was loud so I had to lean in even closer to hear him. I rested my hand on his knee as my body was twisted towards him.
"I brought you up here because I saw you on that dance floor and I just had to introduce myself." He smiled at me as he spoke.
"Grinding on someone is how you introduce yourself? Okay..." I rolled my eyes playfully.
"Aye, that's not all me, I just grabbed your wrist, you are the one who threw it back like that. But I'm not complaining." His smirk grew larger as he gave me a once over. I blushed.
"Anyway, I'm Zion. Zion Marley." I removed my hand from his knee and held it out for him to shake. He extended his hand, and I watched as his large hands engulfed mine. A shock ran through my body straight to my core as our palms touched. My liquored mind began to think of all the things he could do with those hands. I pulled my hand away quickly. He chuckled.
"I'm KB, but you can call me Anthony. Or Alexander." He licked his lips again. "You, Naomi's friend right?"
"Yeah that's me." I looked up as a waitress came with a bottle of Cîroc and orange juice and poured us each a glass. I took mine and sipped it. It was hard to distract myself from the way he was staring.
"Why you don't never come to the studio? I told Naomi, she could bring you. She stay talking about you. Well when she and AJ ain't connected at the lips she talks about you." He picked up his glass and turned his body to face me. I laughed at his comment.
"Maybe them being so attached is why I don't come." I smiled at him. "But no really the reason I don't come is because of my job. I just always have so much to do. I wouldn't have time to come to the studio."
"Oh you a hard working woman. I can respect that. What do you do?"
"I am a Human Resource Assistant at TW." His ears perked up as I said the company name.
"Word? That's like right across the street from where I be recording. You must not like my music and that why you don't come by. You ain't gotta lie, my feelings won't be hurt." He playfully looked at me with puppy dog eyes. Lord this man was fine as hell.
"No! No! I actually love your music. I'm not lying, I just really have a lot to do, so I barely have free time as it is." I placed my hand on his knee again and leaned in, so that my mouth was near his ear again. "You have the most amazing voice. I love your song, As She Blooms." He looked at me oddly.
"That song wasn't even on my mixtapes. It was like one of my first songs." He looked at me with this sense of amazement. "How did you hear that song?"
"Well, Naomi is my best friend, and she has wanted to be in PR for the music industry for the longest time. In college she found AJ's sound cloud page and I heard it on that." I remembered the first time I heard his voice. To me it sounded like an angel's voice. So sweet, sensual, and rich.
We continued our conversation for what felt like hours. Getting to know each other, and playful banter. It was clear that we had both forgotten about the party all around us. I didn't notice how late it was until I heard reggaeton in the background.
"Oh shit!" I stood up and looked around the club barely had an eighth of the people it originally started with. I checked my phone and saw that it was 3:46 in the morning. And I had a single text from Naomi, which read
Ni: Have fun 👅💦😏😉
That bitch.
I began to exit the booth that KB and I made ourselves comfortable in. I could feel KB stand up behind me.
"You good ma?" he straightened out his shirt after he stood up stretching his arms above his head and I couldn't help but notice the sliver of abs that shown through. He smirked as we made eye contact again.
No I was not going to be caught in a situation like this. I had to go and see if I could find Naomi, if she took the car home with AJ, how the hell am I supposed to get home?
"Yeah everything is great. I'm just going to see if I can find Naomi." I smiled at him and left the VIP area heading for outside. Once there it was very clear that there was no sign of AJ or Naomi. Just KB's driver and the car. Fuck. And I knew this girl was going to gnore my phone calls, she does that anytime she spends the night with AJ.
"You know you can ride with me. It's not a problem." He smiled that damned dazzling smile that has gotten my panties wetter and wetter as the night went on. "I'm sure Pete can drop you off at your place." He stepped up to close to me and looked down into my eyes. I never noticed how much taller he was than me. I mean I had to bend my head back just to get a good look into his light brown eyes.
"Yeah I jus-" a flash went off to my left, another one to the right. The paparazzi are still here? Don't they have families? KB ushered me into the SUV that was waiting, and told Pete to go.
"Wow that is really disorienting. How do you deal with that?" I looked at him sitting next to me, as he helped me strap in, his hand grazing my stomach lightly.
"Well, I haven't gotten used to it yet. So I just try to ignore it. They haven't really been that bad. But once they got wind that I was officially signing with Cross AG it has gotten a lot worse." He smiled at me as he put his own seat belt on. "So, you want to tell Pete where you live so we can drop you off?"
"Actually there is no point in going there. I don't have the key. I forgot it at home. I wasn't worried about it since I was with Naomi but I should have known better. And there is no spare. So there is no way I can get in." I looked at him sheepishly. I hope he didn't think this was a ploy for me to come on to him.
"What about Naomi?" He asked curiously. I simply gave him a look. "Right, she is at AJ's place."
"Yup." I pouted, my bottom lip poking out. He looked at me and licked his lips then turned towards the window
"Don't do that. It makes me want to kiss you." He said this so calmly, I don't think he realized he said it out loud. My wide eye response prompted him. "What?..." His eyes now grew wide. "Fuck. I said that out loud didn't I?"
I quickly shook my head no, so that we could move on and pretend he didn't just say that. I mean I wouldn't mind him kissing me but come on we just met. And if I wasn't gonna be a hoe for Walter, why be one for KB.
Because KB is much more attractive. Because KB has large enticing hands. Because KB's lips look so fucking soft. Snap out of it. I pulled my gaze up from his lips.
"You hungry? I'm hungry. Let's go to IHOP or something." Pete turned the car around to head for the nearest early morning breakfast stop. The whole ride we stole innocent looks at each other. But we made sure not to touch. I yawned.
"You tired?" His face was etched with concern. "You can stay at my place. At least until you can get in contact with Naomi. I got two bedrooms."
I smiled at him gratefully. It's not like I have another choice really. I just hope I can control myself.
KB's POV
I'm glad she agreed. Even though I'm extremely embarrassed because of my reckless mouth. But I wasn't lying her lips looked so enticing, especially when she pouted. I couldn't help but peek at her as we drove. Baby girl's body was sitting just right, and the jeans was hugging her hips just right. Her top blessed me with a pleasing view of her ample breast and they were sitting just right.
I pulled my eyes away from her body before my mind ran rampant with wild expletive thoughts of what I could do to that body. Like I said I'm ecstatic that she felt comfortable enough with me to come to my place. I just hope I can control myself.
Ooop she spending the night already? Damn she a little fast...
