TABITHA

I have honestly had the best time in two months with Xavier than I had during my entire 10 years with Darius. it may sound harsh but I don't really give a fuck. Xavier makes me feel safe and wanted.. I haven't felt that in a while. we are still taking things very slow of course. my trust is still fucked and i don't know if I want to ever tell him how I feel. I'm so happy around him and I'm sure he feels the same. enough about that though im doing a lot better, walking too! all i have left is this body brace around me but it should be coming off in a couple of weeks. Xavier has been very attentive, if you know what I mean. 😏

"do you want to cook something tonight?" Xavier said turning down my favorite song "get you" by Daniel Caesar.

"I guess I could let you taste some good home cooking, my mom and grandma taught me everything i know what would you like?"

"I'm willing to try anything you make, i have a feeling it's gonna be delicious." he said looking at my eyes, lips and neck during the process. he was always flirting in different little ways. last night he put flowers on the nightstand in the spare room he eventually gave me. and plus our therapy sessions were always filled with laughs and he never made me feel uncomfortable. he knew i wanted him to wait and i knew he would. it was sexy how his eyes always lusted but i could tell its more than that. he desired me..

"well how about I whip up some fried chicken , mac n cheese, lima beans and jasmine rice, cabbage, and my favorite honey cornbread?" I said licking my own damn lips.

"that sounds great, can I have you for dessert?" I choked on the spit in my mouth cause huh? what? 🥳

"we'll see but let's go to Publix and get the groceries, plus they're chocolate chip cookies are to die for.🤤"

as we walked in the store I immediately started seeing what I needed so I hopped to it. Xavier just followed suit trying figure me out I guess.

XAVIER
this is who i want. no doubt about it i will be as patient as a lion would be with its prey except I will shower her with endless love. she's about to say something I can tell by that look. 😩

"are you allergic to anything on this list?"  she asked stepping a little closer, i could smell her sweet scent.  I wanted to grab her right then, but i played it cool.
"the only thing im allergic to is not being around you." i said seriously. she started to blush but tried to play it off, nah baby daddy see you. 👀

we shopped a little more and by that time the basket was filled like we were together buying groceries for our house, together. 😈 "damn you sure you got enough greedy?" she burst out laughing and elbowed me softly. i love that she has a sense of humor and won't take everything to heart when im joking. I looked up and she was going towards the checkout. we bagged and purchased and on the way home grabbed something light from chick fil a. we got chicken sandwich combos w/ lemonade. when we got home she headed straight toward the kitchen, she finished off her sandwich and got right to work. that's what i like no procrastinating.

TABITHA
I started cooking as soon as we got in the house I wanted to impress him, show him what i was working with. I immediately put my beans and turkey wings on in a crockpot and got to making the water for the mac and cabbage. i got those started took a ten minute break and started preparing the chicken. (y'all I'm hungry as hell typing this I love homemade soul food.) 🤤 I started playing some alina baraz to add a calm feel he can't see this ratchet side yet. 😂

"what you over there thinking about?" he said taking me out of my thoughts. "I'm thinking about how you gonna try to marry me after you taste this bomb ass food." I looked him straight in the eye saying that. jumping back at his little word play. I could tell he wanted to kiss me. so I walked up to him i was ready to see what it felt like " what?" I said slowly getting in his face, he was on the stool and I was standing. before I even processed what I just walked myself into, he grabbed my waist so softly I could just melt. he cuffed my face with his other had and stroked it before pushing my face to his. wowww. it felt like kissing your school crush but only difference is you wanna do more than just kiss your crush in this predicament. i started tonguing him before I knew it dawg he was just so fine. all you could hear was our mouths and tongues making noise. it was getting steamy as hell.

Xavier
it was really happening, she was taking chances with me and that's all that mattered. before i could let her get too excited i stopped her in the middle of our tongue kiss so she would have something to think about. 👅 "the water is boiling." i told her, that made her head back to the kitchen. she can't some of me rn she could only have all of me. my self control is more than likely worse than hers. im deeply sexually frustrated but i would wait however long for her she just has to say when.

later on ...

tab that was the best food i have ever tasted, honestly. you have to cook more like everyday more, like breakfast too.

"whatever you want, you have been so nice to me these past months. no one has ever treated like this in while or just period. I owe you more than think." she said sternly drinking her pink lemonade she made from scratch it was bomb as hell just like that food.

"so where do you want to get your ring?" she looked at me with a blushed face.

"I don't even know, why don't just surprise me?" she said not able to contain her smile.

"bet." i said grabbing her onto my lap and kissing her soft warm cheeks. it's over ... she MINE.
