The Woods [Book One]

Ten

"Toni, c'mon baby. Damn." I said rolling my eyes.

"I can't find my other shoe!" She whined from upstairs.

"We gon be late girl." I said looking at my silver Rolex. "Maybe if you put them bitches in the boxes you wouldn't have this problem." I mumbled climbing the stairs to go into her room.

"Shut up Eric!" She said when she seen me come into her room.

"I'm just trynna help yo ass before we be late." I said looking around for her shoe.

I looked under the bed, in the bathroom, in her closet, in her shoe closet, until she screamed and I ran back into her room.

"The fuck you screaming for?"

"I found it baby!" She said coming into her room.

"Great, let's put it on, so we can go."

She put her shoe on and it took me a minute to realize what she had on.

She had on this long, silk burgundy V-cut dress that showed off her curves and had her titties looking right. Her hair was in a slicked back side parted ponytail and her face was beat like hell. Baby knew how to work her magic, I guess that's why it took her ass almost four hours to get ready and we still ain't left her house yet.

When she stood up she walked over to her dresser and grabbed her clutch and I smirked and grabbed the back of her dress pulling her towards me.

"Where you think you going in this tight ass dress?" I asked.

She laughed.

"I'm serious Toni, this shit," I spun her around. "Gon get you fucked up." I bit my lip.

"Nope, lets go. We're late." She patted my chest and walked away from me leaving me in the bedroom.

I bit my lip and shook my head before leaving her room and jogging down the stairs. She waited by the door with her hand out for me to take and I grabbed it pulling her close to me and opened the door letting her step out first. Ya know, be a gentlemen for ya girl.

I helped her into my truck and closed the door and going over to my side and getting in and starting the truck. I pulled out of her driveway and headed towards the restaurant where we were meeting my mama at.

I noticed when I pulled up to the red light she was on her phone taking selfies and shit.

"You think you cute or sum?" I laughed looking at her.

"Uh, I am cute." She scrunched up her face.

"Sike." I laughed.

She grabbed my face and turned it towards her and pouted her face and I mugged her while she took the picture. Before the light turned green I leaned over and smacked my lips over hers.

"Take the picture." I grumbled kissing her lips. She laughed and took the picture and I broke away from her just in time to drive off from the light.

Fifteen minutes later

"Mama." I said dragging Toni up to the table she was sitting at.

Her wild hair was pinned up in a up do and she wore her face clear of makeup. That's one thing about my mama, she didn't wear makeup and she didn't need it, she was gorgeous. The only thing my mama might've wore, was chapstick.

"Oh hey baby! Hello Miss Toni." She stood up greeting us with a hug.

I let go of Toni's waist and hugged my mama then let Toni hug her.

"You smell great sweetheart." My mama told her when they pulled apart.

"So do you, you smell better than I do." She laughed.

"Nonsense." I pulled my mamas chair out for her and then scooted her in and then moved to Toni helping her in her chair.

"So Toni, how did you and Eric meet?" I closed my eyes for a brief second hoping she wouldn't say anything about us meeting at the club and then looked at her licking my lips.

She held her glass of water to her lips and took a sip before she put her glass down and grabbed my hand.

"Johnny."

"Oh, you know Johnny?" My mama asked.

"Yes ma'am, Me and his younger sister Jackie were best friends growing up."

"Didn't Jackie pass away? A few years ago?" My mama asked.

My baby put her head down slightly. I could tell she was getting choked up.

"Oh Toni, Im sorry." My mama said reaching over to grab her hand.

"No, it's okay." She lifted her head and smiled at her then looked at me. "I'm fine babe." I nodded and pecked her lips.

"So when did you two make it official?" My mama asked looking directly at me.

I'll admit, my mama wasn't the first one to know about me and Toni. Maybe like the LAST.

"Um, I would say maybe two weeks ago? Right baby?" Toni asked looking up at me.

I twisted my lips like I was actually thinking.

"Yeah babe, sounds right." I smirked and she smacked her lips and my mama giggled.

"His father used that same line on me when we went to dinner with my mother." My mama shook her head.

"Im my daddy's son, what can I say?" I shrugged laughing.

"Both, smarts and humor." My mama said which made Toni laugh.

"Whatchu laughing at?" I looked down at her.

She looked at me with those eyes that made me wanna take her ass down right now. If I had no class and my mama wasn't right here? Miss Toni would be bent over that bathroom sink right now. She looked like a FUCKING SNACK.

"Eat your food." She mumbled blushing.

I looked at my mama seeing she was busy on her phone to be paying any attention to us. I leaned over to Toni and whispered in her ear.

"Im trynna eat you." I pulled away from her looking her up and down and she hit me in my chest and I started laughing.
