Mystery Man

Chapter 15

Autumn and I were getting ready to head to the show. For some reason I felt obligated to look even better than normal especially since Rolando was going to be in attendance. I opted to wear a dress with slits in it that damn near went up to my hips. The dress was burgundy and with this curly fro I know I looked damn good!

"Damn girl who you tryna look good for Rolando or your new girlfriend?" Autumn asked playfully.

"Shut up, let's go", I said doing a once over in the mirror before heading to the door.

Rolando said he would met me there in ten minutes and I knew he was not playing when he said ten minutes. As we headed down to the poetry viewing some random guy came up to me tryna shoot his shot.

"Damn mami que pasa", he asked clearly drunk. Before I could respond get the fuck outta my face I felt arms wrap around me.

"She's spoken for, move", he said in that deep intimidating voice.

I swear in my head I was like "heeeeyyyy zaaaadddy" but I kept my composure as I turned around to kiss him confirming that this was indeed my baby. The dude finally walked off and we headed to the stage where I saw Angelica sitting on the stage. I could tell she was getting in her zone as she sat with her eyes closed. We took some seats in the very front so she saw that we were here. As if on cue her eyes opened and she looked directly at me. Smiling she waved and blew a kiss at me before she started reciting her poem. This time she talked about pain and love, little did she know I could relate to a lot of what she was saying. I felt her on every note and couldn't help but to think back to my ex. Tomorrow I was leaving and had to get back to reality. I looked over to Rolando and caught him staring at me. We haven't truthfully discussed if we were going to be exclusive he only told me I was his. Nowadays that doesn't mean all too much and I know a lot of y'all can feel where I'm coming from on this! I began to worry, maybe this was just a vacation fling and not something I should take seriously. I heard claps which let me know Angelica was done. I stood and clapped as she exited the stage and headed in my direction.

"Naomi, I'm so glad you came", she said as she took me into her embrace. She held me and caressed my back before pulling away.

"You know it was no problem, I love poetry and really enjoy listening to yours", I said honestly.

"You guys want to go have a drink", she asked.

"Girl you ain't said nothing but a word", Autumn said getting up and following Angelica to the bar.

Rolando grabbed my wrist before I could walk in their direction. "Let's talk", he said as we walked to a secluded area with a view of the ocean.

"What's on your mind and don't lie to me", he asked me sternly.

"Us. You and I. Is this serious? Is this just a fling? Rolando you can be honest with me. I've been hurt before and I don't wanna go down that route again. If this is a one time thing tell me before we get in too deep", I plead with him.

He stared at me, his expression unreadable.

"Do I look like a nigga that plays around Naomi? I told you as soon as I met you that you were mine. YOU ARE MINE. I'll never look at another woman the way I look at you. I know we have plenty more to get to know about each other but I want you. And I want you bad." He said pulling me in closer to him by my waist.

My pussy dampened as his lips found mine kissing me senseless almost confirming everything he said to me. I felt like it was real and Rolando did not look like the type to play around at all. Ok I thought to myself. Smiling I grabbed his hand and brought him in the direction of Angelica and Autumn at the bar.
