〰 Take a redhead that uses her assets to get her way in business, a curly nanny who believes in true love, a dark-haired, drop-dead gorgeous stripper and you've got a curved t(h)reat.
Then add a nerdy personal trainer, a tall, dark and handsome bo...
Ama asks me more about Montell and I gladly share it all with her. We have no secrets for each other and I mean absolutely none. Every sexy detail is shared. She grins and seems to look at something behind me. I finish my Montell rave with: "I could really fall in love with this man Ama."
Her green eyes show amusement and before I can find out why, I hear: "That's really good to hear babe. I feel the same way about you."
You've got to be kidding me! He's here? And he heard? My cheeks heat up and I look behind me at the godlike, tall man smiling down at me.
Ama gets up and says: "Have fun you two. Enjoy the food."
I quickly get up too and pull her closer to me. She chuckles and I know she sent him a message. After all the tears she cried, she ended up doing that. I love her. I hug her and whisper a thank you in her ear.
She's about to walk away when Montell says: "Hold it! I'm not getting a hug?"
Ama laughs and walks over to him for a hug. He hugs her and kisses her on top of her ginger hair. "Take good care of yourself, okay? Have a good weekend!"
She looks up at him and I can tell how much his words and actions affected her. She nods and waves, before practically running away.
Montell raises his eyebrows at the sight and turns his head to me. I sit down and pat the spot next to me. He shakes his head and sits down behind me, hugging my legs with his. I lean back against his chest and enjoy his strong arms around me and his warm body against my back.
"Don't worry about Ama. She's not very used to people caring about her. Thank you for doing that though." He hums and I can tell he's thinking about it. I get a muffin from the basket and offer him a bite. I wait for him to bite it, but he licks my fingers instead. I can't help but moan softly. Oh this man, I could get addicted to the way he makes me feel.
His deep, rumbling chuckle resonates through my body and I feel him biting the muffin. He moans softly and I'm already wet. I try to stop my mind from thinking about what he could do to me, but it's already too late. Having him this close to me has caused my brain to think of only one thing.
He asks: "Where did you get these? They are really good. Take a bite babe."
I take a bite out of the muffin and have to admit he's right. It's really good. He pulls my hair to the side and kisses my neck. I swallow the bit of muffin down quickly and enjoy the way his mouth feels on my skin. He moans softly and I feel electric shocks shooting through my body. He removes his mouth from my neck and sighs.
He whispers: "There's kids here. We should behave."
That snaps me right out of my daze. The last thing I want to do is scar kids for life. Imagine someone telling my boss I was being a ho in the park. I turn around to face him and offer him another bite of the muffin.
He chews on it with his eyes closed and asks: "Seriously. Where did you buy these?"
I admit to him that X bought them and add that he bought them for Ama. I giggle at the look on his face. It's amazing to see he doesn't like the idea of them together either.
I ask him to keep what I'm about to tell him between us and he promises he will. I tell him all about what went down with Ama and X and expect him to laugh at X's accident. But he stays silent and I wonder what's going on in his head.
He says: "I know Ama has been living alone in that apartment since she was eighteen, but does she have any parents?"
I tell him about her parents and what happened when she got that apartment on her eighteenth birthday. And that she works for her dad, but only sees him at work. I don't even mention her mom, because there's nothing to say about that woman.
He looks hurt and says: "Damn. I appreciate my mom and aunt even more now. We didn't have any material things, but we did have a lot of love for each other. We still do."
I tell him about Noah and how the universe seems to work against him and Ama.
He says: "Noah is one of the good guys. She could do a whole lot worse. I run into him regularly at the gym and he is always kind to everyone. And a hard worker."
He intertwines his fingers with mine and says: "Poor Ama though. Now I get why Mike is so protective of her."
I give him a questioning look and he explains: "Mike and I are part of a group of people that work in security and in law enforcement. We have a group app we use when there's something bad happening. One of us just sends the location and we all come running. And we keep each other updated on suspicious people."
I stare at him and can't believe my ears. He shrugs and I pull him closer for a kiss. "Don't shrug it off Montell, that's amazing. I didn't know that at all."
He kisses me again, rests his forehead against mine, and stares into my eyes. "No one knows Mona. We're not doing it to show off. We're doing it to keep people safe. I'm not sure why I told you."
I feel so special right now and before I know it, I've invited him over for the barbecue at my parents' house. He chuckles and I look up at him a bit flustered. He trails his fingers over my face, from my eyebrow to my chin and down my neck. Following the trail of his fingers with his eyes.
He's sending shivers down my spine and whispers: "I was already invited, babe."

That was Mona's POV.
Montell is something else, isn't he? Boyfriend goals right there.
