Southside

Chapter 11

Ghost

I woke up feeling a minor headache coming on, I quickly got up and handle my hygiene before taking some medicine. I tied my locs up into a bun and went downstairs to find something to eat.

Surprisingly Dutchess wasn't up but I figured she was really tired from Risse's party. I thought back to last night and how we kissed, it was unexpected but I wasn't mad at it. There was a connection but I had a job to fulfill and I couldn't get caught catching feelings. I was cooking some shrimp and grits when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Good Morning," said Dutchess as she entered the kitchen. I turned and looked at her. She had on a champagne colored silk night dress and a matching robe, and her hair was tied in a scarf. She looked beautiful as she walked next to me to see what I was cooking.

"It smells good in here, what are you making," she asked.

"My mom's famous shrimp and grits," I said looking over at her.

She didn't say anything just looked at me and then went to sit on the counter.

"I didn't know you could cook," she said.

"There's a lot you don't know about me," I said. She looked at me but didn't say anything else.

"Well there's a lot you don't know about me, too,"she responded back. I looked at her and smirked before turning off the stove.

"Also I wanted to apologize for kissing you last night, I was super drunk and emotional.  I just don't want things to be weird between us," she said.

I turned and looked at her, "you cool shawty I was not upset about it," I responded back.

She opened her mouth to say something but stopped. "I mean the kiss was alright my memory was kind of fogged," she finally said.

I leaned against the counter looking at her and I could tell she was getting nervous. I smirked at her.

"If I remember correctly you kissed me twice," I said.

"Well clearly you remembered wrong because I only kissed you once," she said.

I looked at her as I walked close to her. "Why you so nervous,Dutchess," I asked her. She looked away from me nervously and I could see her squirming and trying to avoid eye contact.

"Why are you so close to me," she responded back.

I looked at her before licking my lips and kissing her. It started off slow and sensual and quickly became more than that. She wrapped her arms around my neck bringing me closer to her as our tongues intertwined. I moved to her neck placing soft kisses there as she let out soft moans. I was ready to lay her out and fuck her on the counter. I moved back to her lips and slightly grabbed her neck as I guided her closer to me. I grabbed the hem of her shirt and began pulling it over her head just as the door bell rang.

"Don't worry about it," I said as I kissed her lips.

"I have to get it, Risse and Amber said they were stopping by this morning," she said breathlessly.

We kissed one more time before she hopped off the counter and went to get the door. I went upstairs because my dick was hard and my cousin didn't need to see that.

I laid down on my bed and replayed what happened in the kitchen. I really didn't mean to kiss her but something about her just drew me in. I took a shower and got ready for the day. I was going to stop by my uncle's house to discuss some things with him.

I heard muffled voices as I walked by Dutchess's room. "I'm about to head out, come lock the door," I said to her.

She got up and followed me down the stairs and to the door. "Where are you going?" she asked once we made it to the door.
