Crossroads

Ch. 35: Birds and Bees

"Babe," I heard as I was being shaken from my sleep.

"Mm?" I turned over and tried to get more rest but the bright sun shining in my face disturbed me.

"Get up. Here, I made you breakfast." Daniel shook me more.

I groaned and wiped the sleep from my eyes. I looked at him and smiled when he placed a kiss on my forehead. I sat up in bed with my back against the head board.

I watched him set the tray of food on my bedside table. He was shirtless with only a fresh pair of white Calvin Klein boxers on. I assumed that he showered already.

I swung my legs off of the bed and stood up. Pain struck me between my legs as I limped to the bathroom. Damn, he put it down good. After we spent the day with Cameron and Stephanie, we came back home and resumed or sex session. We went all night. We really took advantage of my parents not being home.

I laughed at my reflection in the mirror. My curly hair was a mess. I wrapped it in a bun quickly and started to handle my hygiene. I decided to shower and get it out of the way. I left the bathroom door open and I saw Diggy take the sheets off of the bed out of the room.

The warm shower relaxed my muscles and soothed the sore feeling in my thighs. I didn't take long because I didn't want my food to get cold.

By the time I walked into my room wrapped in a towel, Diggy had already changed the sheets and there were presents all over the bed but he wasn't in the room.

I took a sip of the orange juice and bit into his infamous breakfast patties. I moaned at the taste of the various flavors. I was guessing be remembered how much I liked it the first time and wanted to be nice.

I stood at the side of my bed and watched the gifts scattered over my bed. The first thing that caught my attention was some shoe boxes. The first box was a black Balenciaga speed runner shoe and the other was a pair of cream colored Bottega Veneta heels. There was another box with some maternity clothes that read cute slogans like "You glow mommy" and "My boyfriend says I'm not fat". I giggled as I went through the clothes. There was a beautiful Rolex that looked like it belonged in a glass case for showcase. There was a box from Tiffany & Co. I opened it to reveal a beautiful matching set of earrings, a necklace, ring and bracelet. The pendent on the necklace was a diamond encrusted infinity symbol.

I knew exactly why he bought me another set of jewelry. He didn't like the fact that I wore the ones from Khalil.

I felt his hands wrap around me and he kissed my neck. "You like the gifts?" He said into my ear and I giggled as his facial hair tickled me.

"Yes, babe. You're so sweet." I turned around in his arms and wrapped my arms around his neck. "But you know you don't have to be buying me stuff, right? And especially a Rolex, Daniel? You really shouldn't have. That's mad expensive."

"I know. I wanted to treat you. Show you you're appreciated." He kissed my lips and smiled.

"Aww, thank you, baby. And you think you're slick. I know why you bought me a new set of jewelry."

He let me go and sat on my bed. "I bought it because I liked it." He said in a normal tone.

"Babe, if you don't want me wearing the ones from Khalil then just say so." I sat on his lap sideways and swung an arm over his shoulders.

"I don't want to be selfish because I know how you felt about him. But it just bothers me to see you wear the ring everyday. Nothing's wrong with wearing them occasionally but not everyday around me. Makes me feel like you still want to be attached to him or something. I'm not saying you can't wear it. I'd just appreciate it if you didn't so often." I eyed him as he spoke. I sighed and took the ring off of my finger. I stood up and placed it in its rightful place in my jewelry box.
