Finally Grounded (Sequel To The One Who Grounds Me)

Chapter Forty-Eight

Tristan

Tiana closed, my laptop lid. Removing the device from my lap, she straddled me. Her off shoulder, blouse dipped low showing off those perky breast of hers.

My mouth watered at the mere sight. Curling, my fingers around her neck, I pulled her in for a chaste kiss. Tiana yip in glee.

"So where did, you disappear to early this morning?" I asked, against her lips.

Her eyebrows furrowed at that question. "Running. I needed to clear my head."

"Sounds serious, do you want to talk about it."

"No!" She said, pulling away all of a sudden. She tugged on one of my buttons sheepishly. ".... I mean I have this under control. It's cool."

There was just this nagging feeling at the back of my head, telling me that Tiana was hiding something from me. I wanted to enquire about it, but at the same time. I didn't want to scare her away. So it was best if I wait, until she was ready to come clean with me.

"Also.... I got this earlier from uh.... Martha." She removed a black USB from her pocket.

The ache in my chest, returned at the sound of her name. It's been two days since I last spoke to her.

I wanted to know the truth, but I feared that if I allowed Martha to tell me what really happened all those years ago. I would start to hate my mother.

Taking a deep breath, I took the USB from Tiana.

"I will check it out later on."

"How are you holding up?"

"I'm fine."

She scowled. "You're not fine. You need to talk to Martha, get this whole thing sorted out."

"Tiana can we not talk about this!"

"Tristan I just really, care about you and I hate seeing you like this. You're smoking harder than usual, and you keep on getting yourself drunk and I hate it!"

I groaned, in irritation. Reclining back in the chair, I rolled my head to the side. Tiana leaned over me, her sweet vanilla scent enveloped me.

"Yah! Are you listening to me."

"No I'm not."

She pushed my hair to the side.

"Look Tiana, I do NOT want to think, or talk about that woman. Today is my birthday and I would like to enjoy my day without, this heavy weight sitting my shoulders."

"But...."

Using my index finger and my thumb, I clamped her mouth close. "No buts. I will deal with Martha tomorrow."

"Mhm."

"Besides, I have something else you could be doing with that pretty little mouth of yours."

Her cheeks were stained red. I rubbed my thumb across her bottom, lip teasingly. Tiana's lips parted.

"Now is not the time to think about Martha. Right now it's just me and you, nobody else."

She let's out a throaty moan.

"Get on your knees."

Tiana's eyes, bugged out of her head. "Right now? Tristan, your friends are in the kitchen!" She hissed.

"And I don't care. I want to feel those sexy lips, of yours wrapped around my cock."

Tiana shivered at that.
