Deep Talk/Still Scheming

Desire

I was leaning back against the tub and August was leaned back on the other side. We stared at each other and smiled. I grabbed my wine glass and took a healthy sip, not once taking my eyes off August. He was just so damn fine. I took my right foot and caressed his inner thigh. He smirked at me and I smiled coyly. He grabbed my foot, bringing it to his tatted chest. He started massaging it and it felt so damn good.

"Damn. Let me find out you massaging my feet." I winked and took another sip of my wine.

"You my lady, so why shouldn't I do shit like this?" He said as he continued massaging my foot.

I moaned deep in my throat because his hands were working wonders on me. He was a man of many talents and I would be a fool to let him go. He put my right foot down and grabbed the other foot, giving it the same treatment as he did the other. There was a moment of comfortable silence and I thought about something I wanted to ask him. I wasn't sure if he was gonna give me the answer or not, but I was going see anyway.

"August."

"Huh."

"Can I ask you something?"

"You kno' you can ask me anythang." He replied looking at me intensely.

I bit my lip and stared at him for a second before I asked my question. "What happened in your last relationship?"

I could see how his facial expression had changed and I was afraid that he wasn't going to tell me. He clenched and unclenched his jaw. He looked at me and what surprised me is that he reached for me to come and sit inbetween his legs. I went to him and he moved a tendril of hair off my neck. He placed a lingering kiss on my neck and wrapped his arms tightly around me. I placed my hands on top of his forearms and waited for him to speak.

August

I sighed and leaned my head back as my mind conjured up all tha' thoughts from back then. I finally decided that I wanted to tell her. She deserved to know.

"I was in love just like any otha' young nigga. Everythang was good. I thought that we was gon' be togetha' through everythang, but she fooled tha' hell out of me. I mean I was doing things fa' her that at the time I couldn't really afford, but I did it anyway cause I loved her." I paused and to get my thoughts togetha.

"August you okay baby?" Desire turned and looked at me. I could see the concern all in her beautiful eyes. I was so blessed to find a woman like her.

"Yeah, bae I'm fine, but let me continue."

She nodded her head and waited for me to finish saying what I had to say.

"To make a long story short, she cheated on me wit a nigga that was supposed to be my home boy. It's one thing to cheat, but she got pregnant by him. For a long time, until I met you all I did was hit and quit it. A nigga didn't want any emotional attachments."

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but sometimes things are not meant to be. I know at the time you may not have been able to see that, but everything happens for a reason."

"Real shit and I'm so glad that we met, although it was a weird situation at first. You made me want more than just some good pussy and head. I let you get under my skin and you are the first woman since then to get this close to me."

Desire turned around and straddled me. She placed her arms around my neck and stared deep in my eyes. I stared back in her honey ones. I knew then that what I felt for her was deeper than just care. I loved her, I was in love with her and that scared tha' shit out me. I wasn't looking for love, but tha' shit was lookin' fa my skinny ass.
