Because I Said So

Chapter Ten

So, he took me to a French restaurant called Le Coup de Foudre. He rented out the whole restaurant for the night and we ate on the rooftop with the stars in our view. It was a very romantic experience and I loved every minute of it.

We talked about work and he got to know me even more. I even mention Weston trifling ass and how things ended. This is the first time in 5 years that I mention this to anyone else besides family. The look on his face after I was done telling him the story was shocking and disappointed.

"No wonder you built that wall. I'm sorry that happen to you baby".

"Shit happens" I replied.

I never thought that I would try foods outside of my comfort zone, but this French meal was amazing. Its basically the same thing we eat except different spices were added to it. We had the lamb with roasted potatoes over veggies and a very elegant chardonnay.

Not the stuff out of Walmart but true wine. A nice oaky taste to it. A bitch can get use to this type of shit. I thought this kind of stuff only happen with white folks, but we can experience the same things too if our coins are right. After we finished our meal, he asked me to dance.

"With what music" I said chuckling.

He went back inside the restaurant and came back with a small band. He told me that they could play any song I wanted, and I told them to play Getting Late by Floetry.

Since he got me hooked on this group, I figure this song would be most appropriate to explain the relationship between us. We slowed dance and the female singer was singing the song ever so beautifully. I buried my head into his chest and just close my eyes and listen to his heartbeat.

In a short while he asked me, "Is that how you feel Vicki?"

I looked up at him and shook my head yes. We danced for a few minutes more and he assured me that he would never hurt me. He understands what I went through, and he told me that he would never put me through something like that, ever in my lifetime. The words that was coming from his mouth put my mind at ease and I relaxed a little.

I thought he was just saying that to get some pussy tonight, but my heart knew better. I trusted him with my whole being. I never thought I could trust another man again, but the way he's been treated me has shown me otherwise. If this is a dream, don't ever wake me up.

He asked the band to play the song Say Yes by the same group and a big smile grew on my face. We slowed dance all over again, and I felt the warmth from him enter my heart. He was truly changing my views on love, and I loved every moment of it.

He interrupted the silence between us, and he said, "I'm planned a trip for us this week to celebrate our birthday".

"Really" I said while looking at his eyes.

He looks at me and kisses my forehead. "Yes Queen, we fly out to the Bahamas tomorrow and we're gonna stay there for four days and just enjoy ourselves. On Saturday, we return home and we have our birthday party at Charles' club, Dynasty".

I liked this idea and I knew whatever he had planning for us a while back, was gonna be amazing. But not this amazing at least.

I looked up at him again and said "Thank you. Nobody has ever planned an actual birthday party for me. I always had to do it".

"Well as long as you're with me, you won't have to worry about any of that. I got you baby. I'll protect you" he said.

My heart feels happy and full.

On Tuesday morning we took our flight to the Bahamas and stayed until Friday. We did all kinds of different activities throughout the week. Snorkeling with fishes, riding on dolphins, even ate dinner on the water every night with the fish swimming underneath our feet.

Can yall actually believe a bitch went swimming with pigs! Fucking pigs yall! Them shits we eat for breakfast and at thanksgiving time! Chile, I was so damn scared and Deontay just laughed at me when them big bitches got close to me. I know one thing, that shit is scratch off my damn list. Never again! Ugh the shit I do with him makes me laugh.

Real talk, I know people fall in love in all different points in their relationship, but could it be too early for me to feel this way. My grandma always told me that everyone is created differently, and we experience love in different ways. But she told me when you find your soulmate, you'll know.

It's the little things that they do that makes you happy. Being able to wake up with them each morning, and saying I love you before going to bed. Just being in their presence brings joy and this man right here is everything and more.

If he asked me to marry him right now, I wouldn't hesitate. He feels like what I've prayed for long ago. A man who would love me and protect me and not based everything off of sex. Someone who helps me mentally and truly cares. He feels like my soulmate. I hope he is.

On Saturday morning we were back at his house and I decided to wake up early to make him breakfast. Pancakes, scramble eggs, bacon, toast, orange juice with a splash of vodka and strawberries with whipped cream on the side.

I brought the breakfast tray to him and woke him up with a few kisses. He open his eyes and said he was happy to see me. He's been saying that since I've been here and every day, I feel more special inside. We ate breakfast and talked about what we were going to do for the day till the party.

"Do you need anything to get dolled up for our birthday" he asked me

Normally I would have a list as long as a CVS receipt for the shit that I needed to buy, but this time I shook my head no.

"You sure?" he asked me.

"I can just pick something out of the closet to wear tonight" I suggested.

He shrugged at me.

"No, you will not" he said.

He grabbed his wallet and pulled out his black Mastercard and handed it over to me.

"This is your special day as well as mine, you get your nails and hair done and pick out something for the both of us to wear. The theme is white and gold".

I smiled as I was putting the card on the nightstand by me. I walked over to his side of the bed and move the tray. I sat in his lap and started kissing those juicy lips I love so damn much. He kisses me back and tries to throw me on the bed, but I didn't let him.

"No baby let me show you how much I appreciate you" I said with a seductive voice.

I kissed his neck, softly and started making my way down. He lets out a moan every now and again. I pulled the covers back and starting sucking on his massive dick until it got just hard enough. I told him to stand over me as I was hanging upside down on the side of the bed.

"Come closer" I said.

He walks over to me and I sucked his dick while I was upside down. His crazy seductive eyes let me know that I was doing my job just right. After a few moments he came into my mouth, and I just swallowed every ounce of him. He immediately sat on the bed and told me nobody has ever done that to him before.

I just smirked and sat up to kiss his lips lightly and said "Happy Birthday babe. Now Imma go get ready to get sexy for us tonight."
