Comfort Zone

Chapter 9

"Papa, can you slow down? I'm scared."

Joshua snapped out of his rage induce psychosis. He couldn't stop thinking about the things his mom had said.

He knew she wasn't going to like the fact that he was dating someone besides Ella. But he didn't think she would go as far as to make comments about her race. It shouldn't matter what race a woman is. Black women were as beautiful as any other women. His mom was supposed to support him and the fact that he had someone who was willing to be with him despite the fact that he was a father, raising his child on his own. But that obviously wasn't the case. He "wasn't supposed to date outside that Italian race" and Amara was an "abomination."

Joshua knew he would date whoever he wanted, whenever he wanted, despite what anyone thought. He wasn't going to let his mom's words get into his head and fuck up his relationship with Amara, who has made him happier in the little time by had been together than any other woman had in the past.

Joshua hurriedly parked in front of Amara's house. He needed her comfort. He grabbed Luca and his backpack before walking to the door. He placed Luca down and knocked rapidly on the door. His rage was boiling over inside of him. The 25 seconds between the time he knocked and the time Amara opened the door were probably the longest 25 seconds of his life.

Before Amara could even say a word, Joshua had his arms wrapped around her and his face buried in her hair. He breathed in her scent, which helped him calm down a little. Amara just wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling how tense he was. After about 15 seconds, Amara felt tugging at her pants leg.

"I want a hug too." Luca said, feeling left out.

Joshua chuckled at his son, knowing how much he loved to be held by Amara. He stepped back so Amara could bend down to pick up Luca, who immediately attached his arms around her neck, smiling widely.

"I wasn't expecting a visit from you guys today. I missed you." Amara said.

"We missed you too Mara. I haven't seen you in forever!" Luca said dramatically while stretching his arms as far as he could to signify how long forever was.

"You just saw me two days ago, bud." Amara commented, laughing at Luca.

"But that was forever ago, Mara. I want to see your EVERYDAY!"

"Okay, sweetie."

"Luca, can I talk to Mara?" Joshua asked. He needed to tell her about what had just happened and what his mom had said. He knew he couldn't keep that from her.

"Okay, papa. Can I watch Paw Patrol, please?" Luca asked, wiggling his body, signaling he wanted to be put down.

"Sure, come on."

Amara led them to the living room, where Luca took his shoes off and sat them together at the foot of the couch, before climbing up and laying down on his stomach. She turned on the cartoon before grabbing Joshua's hand and pulling him into the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Amara asked. She hopped up on the counter, and Joshua placed his arms of either side of her.

"I just came from dinner with my parents. I hadn't told them about you yet because I knew my mom was going to react horribly at the fact that I was dating someone besides Ella. But she went wayyy out of pocket. She made horrible comments at the fact that you were African American, calling you an abomination and saying that I wasn't supposed to date outside of the Italian race. She made me so upset, so frustrated. She thinks that I'm going to stop dating you, stop caring so much about you because you have a darker skin tone, which is absolutely fucking wrong. You're so amazing. You're great with Luca and I, you stayed with me after meeting Ella and seeing how fucked up she is. You're that step out of my comfort zone that I needed. Some might think that we're moving too fast, but there's no time limit on love. I'm going to take my sweet ass time showing you how much I care about you, and eventually love you."

Amara was quiet for a minute. Her mind needed time to process all that Joshua had just said to her.

"Um, okay. First, no offense, but your mom can kiss my ass. It shouldn't matter whether or not I'm black. It should matter whether or not her son is fucking happy. Ella can also kiss my ass because you're mine. You and that amazing little boy in there aren't going anywhere. I don't care what anyone has to say. The fact that your mom can't see past my skin color makes her really dense. Plus, she hasn't even met me yet. I think that I'm a pretty decent person, but she obviously wouldn't care. Your mom or anyone else aren't the ones in this relationship. It's you and me...and Luca," Amara chuckled, "I'm going to give my 200% into this relationship. And I'm gonna take my sweet ass time showing you how much I care about you and eventually love you."

Joshua couldn't believe that he had found someone as perfect as Amara. She was everything he could ever wish for, and more. Joshua used his finger to lift Amara's head up. He stared into her eyes, his eyes shining with adoration, communicating how he felt. Amara wanted to make him laugh, so she crossed her eyes, achieving her goal because Josh burst out laughing. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his chest, and kissed her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, pulling him impossibly closer. His tongue swept across her bottom lip, requesting entrance. Amara parted her lips. Joshua's tongue caressed hers, his hands roaming her body, eventually landing on her ass. He gripped her ass tightly, moving his mouth down to her neck, where he began to mark her skin, eliciting a moan from Amara.

Joshua's hands worked their way back up, grabbing the bottom of Amara shirt when a little voice sounded from the living room.

"Papa, can we go to get ice cream?"

Joshua removed his mouth from Amara neck. Looking at her, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes glazed over in lust. Amara's eyes raked Joshua's body up and down.

"Um, you got something down there." She whispered in his ear, seductively. Joshua looked down to see that he did, in fact, have a boner.

"What are you gonna do about it?" Joshua asked, picking Amara up off the counter, so she was leaning against him, and feeling everything he had to offer.

Before she could answer, Luca yelled out again.

"Papa, I really want ice cream. I've been a good boy. You said if I was good at Nana's, I could get ice cream."

Joshua sighed and placed Amara down on the ground.

"Can you distract him for about 10 minutes, while I go handle this?" Josh asked, looking down and then looking back up at Amara. Amara bit her lip, and nodded. She turned around and started to walk, swaying her hips a little more than usual.

Joshua groaned as he walked to the bathroom.

This woman is going to be the death of me.
