Rebecca

I let the curl fall onto my shoulder, "Wow." Andre moans coming out of the bathroom, "That shower is amazing." He says and walking towards me with the towel around his waist. His bare chest is left uncovered and his tattoos are visible now more than ever. The drops of water coming from his hair roll down his skin leaving my mind to wander off.

He opens his bag and changes into some underwear, but I got to see his cute little butt. He slips on some basketball shorts and rubs his hair with the towel, "We need a shower like that babe." I smile, he isn't wrong.

I begin to curl another piece as someone knocks on the door, "Who is it?" I ask feeling the heat from the iron on my scalp, "Me." The door creeks open and a face pops in the door, "Can we come in?" Jack pushes through the door and Kaitlyn hangs onto the door for support.

Andre slides on a t-shirt, "I mean you're already in here so?" Kaitlyn kicks Jack, "Ass hat." I shake my head and Andre disappears back into the bathroom, "I came in here to tell you something." She says closing the door, "Guess who's coming to dinner." She bites her lip, "Martha Stewart?" I say ending yet another curl, "No smart ass." She sits down on the messy bed, "Harley and Penny." I sit the iron down.

"No they're not." I say and she nods smiling, "They heard about the news." I raise my eyebrow, "What news?" I ask and Andre comes out of the room, "Probably me." He shrugs and Kaitlyn nods, "They want to see for themselves, well that was after I told them he's black." I send Andre an apologetic smile, "Which isn't a problem." She turns to Andre, "They just can't believe that Becca brought a man home despite of mom." Andre sits down in the desk chair, "Are they friends of yours?" He asks.

I nod, "I mean we were friends in school." I say picking up the curling iron, "I can't wear that one dress now." I whisper to myself, "What dress?" Jack asks eating an apple, "Just a dress." I shrug, "I have to pull out the white dress." I look at Andre and he smiles, "Are you sure?" I nod, "Why not?" I ask and he leans forward resting his elbows on his thighs, "The dress is backless." Kaitlyn gaps, "Please wear it." I chuckle finishing off the last curl.

I turn off the iron and begin running my fingers through the curls to relax them, I did my make up earlier before my hair and it still looks pretty good. I lean back in the chair, "We should probably go get dressed." Jack says walking to the door and Kaitlyn follows, "Can't wait to see you guys." She says excitedly as she closes the door.

Andre smiles, "Guess we have to get dressed?" I nod getting up and walk over to him, he spreads his legs and I sit down on his thigh. He rests one hand on the small of my back and intertwines his fingers with his own from the opposite hand. I hold his face in my hands, "I'm really sorry-" He cuts me off connecting our lips.

The kiss is gentle and loving, "I knew what I was walking into babe, please stop apologizing for the sake of my own sanity." He smiles cheekily and I rest my forehead on his, "I wish it wasn't like this." He sighs, "I mean I do, but we have to run with the cards we got dealt." He says running his hand up and down my thigh.

I lean up and press my lips to his, they're so full and soft.

I LOVE THIS MAN.

I get up and pick up the white dress from inside my bag, "Will you help me with my shoes?" I ask and I feel him hit me in the back with his shirt, "Excuse me?" I stand up and he's smiling like a goon, "I had to." He says taking off his shorts, "Just get dressed." I throw the shirt back at him.

I slide out of my clothes and into a white lace cheeky, so you can't see it through the dress. I hear the zipper on Andres' pants and begin slipping on the dress. The dress is a white long sleeve, backless lace mini dress. My back is fully exposed to anybody and everybody.

Andres fingers bring the two neck pieces together and fasten the button. His hands travel down my body and smack my butt, "I love this dress on you." He says spinning me around, "Why thank you." I smile tilting my head to the side, "Your welcome." He copies me by tilting his head the same way. I shrug him off and fix the collar on his shirt.

His suit is a dark navy blue, almost black, "How did you get dressed so fast?" I ask giggling. I look down at his feet and see his socks and shoes are already on, "I'm used to getting ready quick I guess, does it look like I know how it happened?" He says laughing. I roll my eyes and tie his tie.

His eyes never leave my face, "You're so beautiful." He says and heat rises to my face, "Even when you're blushing." I tighten the slim tie, it was the same color as the rest of the suit. He slides on his jacket standing in front of my full length mirror.

I wrap my arms around his waist, "God you're so sexy." I watch his lips turn into a smirk, "Oh really." I nod resting my chin on his shoulder, "Well I mean I guess I don't look half bad." I take back my arms as he strikes a pose. He runs his fingers over his beard, "Not bad, not bad at all." I roll my eyes and go to my suitcase. He bends down and picks up my heels before I can.

I sit down on my vanity chair, "What do you call these things again?" He asks sliding one on my foot as he kneels, "Chunky heels." I say and he clicks his tongue, "And that's because the heels thicker?" I nod smiling, "I'm getting it, slowly but I'm getting it." He says chuckling. He puts on the other one and it's my turn in the mirror, "Guys?" The door creaks open and Kaitlyn walks in.

I smooth out the dress and turn to look at her, "Wow you're hot." She gives me a big smile. Her dress is a deep red where the thick straps cling to the tops of her arms to hold up the dress. The back of the dress is longer than the front and the black heels set off the dress, "Says the hottie from down the hall." I say walking towards her, "Mark is here and I'd bring him in here, but ya know it'd be better out here." She says gesturing to the clothes littering the room.

I chuckle grabbing my small, light tan clutch for the night. Inside it held all the essentials, from lipstick to my phone. I look back and see Andre buttoning one of the buttons on his jacket, "After you." I smile and spray myself with perfume and he rolls his eyes, "Shut up." I slide out of the door and Andre behind me.

I look at the man standing with Kaitlyn and my eyes go wide, he's hot. His suit is black and hugs his arms. His hair is messily pushed to the side and his jaw line is as sharp as a tact and his eyes are a dark emerald. Kaitlyn smiles, "Mark this is Rebecca, and this is Andre." Kaitlyn points to us.

I pull Mark in for a small hug and then he shakes Andres hand. I stand next to Kaitlyn and give her a smile, "Girl I know, you don't even have to say it." She throws her hair over her shoulder, "Why do you think I show off the ring?" She whispers making me laugh.

"Hey!" I look behind me and see Jack at the bottom of the steps tapping his watch, "We're gonna be late!" He yells using his hands as a cone around his mouth.

The boys follow us down and I see Grams coming out of the downstairs guest room. She's wearing a army green dress with small black heels, "There's my girl!" She throws her arms up, her bracelet jingles as she shakes her wrists.

I smile as my mom sends us a glare as I speed walk to her, "He's not going to take his eyes off of you all night." She wiggles her eyebrows, "Spin." She commands with a smile and I do a slow 360 degree turn, "By the looks of the back of the dress his hands won't leave either." She winks and I just laugh, "Grams I think they want us to go." I say and practically have to push her in front of me to get her to go.
