Say You Won't Let Go *EDITING*

Powerful Gesture ✅

Upon getting dressed again after our pleasurable randevu. He helped me to fit back into my dress and heels again. Currently, I was getting a personal tour of the building by his true.

"You can see here, we've already hired some of the best. Over there are the ones that sown some of the best clothing to be on runways. The next few doors down are the design team, the artists basically. Any idea or thought you have they will draw it, have it come to life. All they need is the say so, not to mention they also have ideas themselves. Lastly, why stop with clothes, you have extra rooms for whatever you want. You can do makeup or, shoes or-"

I cut him off with a hug, jumping up and wrapping my slender legs around his waist.

"You're really giving me this? Why?" I questioned, normally people would usually just take it, it's a free career, he brought me a whole building. He basically is the reason for my dream. He did this and a thousand thank you's wouldn't even be enough to thank him for all he's done.

"I lo- I mean...uh I care for you a lot, and I want you to be happy," he admitted but I heard his slip up. I honestly want to know what he was going to say. I was just happy to know he cared for me. Hearing that was a little saddening because I really did like Bakari. I was hoping he did as well. It looks like I was just getting ahead of myself. I don't know if turning down Lucas so fast was a good idea when I didn't know Bakari's true intentions. I'm putting all my eggs into Bakari's basket right now. Not knowing if he's going to carry them or drop them to carry better eggs.

He seems to want to be with me but does he want to really be with me. Emotionally, that is. He's with me physically but I need him with me spiritually and emotionally. If he's not with me all the way, then I just don't know what I can do with that.

"Thank you Bakari, Thank you so much," I whispered into his neck.

"You are welcome princess". He held me tight, my legs not moving an inch from their place on his hips. They gradually got tighter whenever I felt myself slip.

I knew I couldn't stay like this forever, but I wanted to. Being in his arms felt like a dream, and I didn't want to wake. I had wanted to stay here forever and I would have if the universe had let me. I didn't really care about who was around, or who could eventually come around.

Being in his arms gave me butterflies in my stomach. I shuddered from time to time, not because I was cold but I was liberated. His bigger arms gave me a sense of security that I didn't know I needed until now. Sure, he was older and I was young but I didn't care, right now I was starting to believe the saying

Age is only a number because it was.

Bakari has a double-digit age over me, not too big though. I knew that could stir up some doubt in a relationship between us but I was willing to work things out.

Maybe that's what was holding things back between us, I didn't know why. He looked very young for his age, and even though I was young and full of life as people would say, I wasn't like other girls. I didn't want to go out and party. I was happy with the thought of settling down and having a family.

The thought of going through millions of boyfriends and heartbreaks disgusted me. I didn't care for that, but settling down doesn't stop you from having fun. That's what people fail to realize.

My legs let go of his waist and fell back down to the floor. I didn't stop hugging him because it was just too mesmerizing to stop. I didn't want to seem too desperate, so I let go.

We walked around the building some more, I got to meet some employees that were hired before I knew about this. Bakari absolutely outdid himself.
These women and men were some of the most talented and not only that but they were the sweetest.
