It Started With A Story

21

The first three months was the longest and loneliest of my life. Me and Michael didn't contact one another. Work and school were constant distractions. The only thing that kept me going sometimes when I missed him unbearably was the necklace, wrist and ankle jewelry that I never took from my body. I knew in my heart he would wait for me. My plan was to save enough to go back to New York. Get an apartment and continue our relationship. I was half way there. Saving is easy when you have nothing to spend it on.

My cousin was nice enough to give me his old car when he bought another and now that I could drive I decided I wanted to see him. I needed to see him.

The six hour drive had my heart racing the entire way. I have never been so nervous in my life. When I finally made it to his door I stood there for five full minutes fiddling with my necklace before I had enough balls to knock.

When the door opened my mouth widened into a giant grin of relief at seeing his beautiful eyes as they washed over me. I don't think even he could've stopped his own reaction as we both hugged one another tightly. My face pressed against his naked sweaty chest and I inhaled deeply getting his scent back into my system. I looked up and he met me half way kissing me.

Out of breath and excitement coursing through me I pulled away staring at his still sculpted body. It looked even more diesel then the last time I seen him, in fact it was. A smirk graced my lips when I noticed my key hanging around his neck.

"Kia what are you doing here?"

"Does it matter?"

"If your leaving again it does?"

"I will eventually but I always intended to come back."

"But not living with me?"

"I... I need to take care of my self. "

"Then what do you need me for?"

"To love me."

He shook his head sighing.

"Michael?"

My heart literally jumped in my chest.

A woman... A woman had called his name, a woman was in there while he was shirtless and sweaty.

He hadn't waited for me.

"Kia it's not what you think fix your face. "

But I wasn't listening I pushed past him into his apartment.

Green eyes, brown hair, tall and skinny. Hair wet and wearing Michael's shirt and basketball shorts her feet bare.

It was obvious she recently came from a shower. Her eyes widened then without warning she rushed towards me. Stopping just short of running me over.

"Hi I'm Renee. It's so nice to meet you. I've heard all about you. "

"While you were fucking him or while he was wining and dining you?"

"What! I don't understand.... Wait.... You think that..."

Renee burst out laughing and it took everything in me to not punch her in her open mouth. Finally composing herself she wiped the smile from her face placing her hand out.

"Hi, I'm Renee Calloway. Nice to meet you Kia. "

'Calloway'

That either meant she was his wife or his sister. Looking at her closer I started seeing the similarities. The lips, the eyes, the hair color. Relief washed through me and I sighed blowing out a shaky breath.

"Nice to meet you. I'm sorry it's just I assumed..."

"No worries. I wouldn't have been mad if you kicked my ass. I mean the way he talks about you I'd kick his ass if he did start dating someone else. He talks about you so often I feel like we were dating ya know. "

"Renee don't you have work soon. "

"Shit what time is it? Frack I gotta go but I'll swing by again if your here. Well maybe I shouldn't you might be hanging from the ceiling with nipple clams on. "

"Renee!"

"Oh stuff a plug up your ass I'm gone. "

She stuffed her feet in her shoes and even though he was obviously irritated with her a small smile crept on his lips when she kissed his cheek goodbye. He locked the door behind her then turned to me.

"How long before you leave?"

"Four days."

"Not long enough. "

"I know. But we'll make it work. "

"What if I don't want to fucking make it work?"

I just stared back.

"Shit Kia you know I don't mean that but I'm going crazy here. I need you to stay, I need you to be here with me. "

"I want to. You need to understand I will allow you to control many things when it comes to me but not my independence on taking care of my self. It's important to me. "

"Do you have to do it six hours away I mean shit. "

"I came to tell you I was almost done with school. Also I've been saving up. I was wondering if you needed a roommate?"

"What? Are you kidding me? I wouldn't charge you. "

"Not negotiable. "

"How much longer till I have you?"

"A few more months till I'm done but as far as when you can have me now is good. "

He smile broke out and he stood straighter.

"Take off all your clothes. I'm gonna shower be on the bed when I'm done. "

"I will. "

That night for the first time Michael didn't use me as a dom. He didn't dictate or force me to do anything. He came from the shower kissed my body slowly and made love to me the following two hours till the exhausting drive finally caught up with me and I passed out.
