Because Of The Journey.

39.

Nicole's POV.

I drove from my house to the complex. I didn't stay there no more well I still do but not for now. I broke things off with Mikayla. I got what I wanted and I'm good now, I couldn't just kick her out so I just told her to stay there for some time till she finds a place to stay. But it's been 3 months and she's still there.

I know for a fact she got some money for another place to stay but she's just not willing to leave that apartment. Honestly I wouldn't mind her renting another one of mines but I guess she's just stuck up on that particular one.

So I was taking Shane out on our first date ever, I don't know if it's too hyped or what. I had no idea on where to take her but something came into mind. I had booked us a hotel room you know the romantic kind. Rose petals, lit candles and of course a great meal and some delicious dessert before the actual dessert.

I got to the complex and texted her to come out. It took her a few minutes before she came down holding her overnight bag. I told her that after the date she's spending the night at my house. I got out the car to go open the car door for her. She looked so beautiful. When her eyes met mine I got goosebumps and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach.

By this time it wasn't no butterflies but a whole zoo. She looked at me and smirked, with her naturally arched eyebrows that made her look like she was the 'don't fuck with me time' but I swear to God that excited me.

"Cole why you looking at me like that?", she asked licking her lips. "Uhm I.." I was tongue tied. I just leaned in and kissed her, she immediately kissed back and I know nothing about electricity but I definitely felt some electric sparks going into me I hope she felt them too. "Damn" she said out of breath.

I opened the door for her, she smiled and said thanks. I quickly rushed to my side and got in. "You good?", I asked starting the car. "Yeah, I'm straight. What about you?", "I'm good too thanks" I said focusing on the road.

Being around her made me nervous and excited at the same time. I didn't know if she was going to like the surprise I had for her or what. Shane has to be the most confusing person ever, trying to read her won't help you at all. I tried most times but failed.

"Cole where are you taking me?", I heard her ask. "It's not called a surprise for nothing yow. Relax I'm not taking you anywhere creepy" I said squinting my eyes at her. Okay so I was really going to do this, what if she says no? But would she? Nah, she wouldn't. But..

"You're sweating, you feeling hot?", she asked placing her hand on my thigh. I looked at her hand growing more hot from her touch. "I'm cool, for real" I said trying to make her believe that when it was clear enough that something was bothering me. She kissed my cheek and smiled sitting comfortably in her seat. I swear she's going to be the death of me.

I parked 5 minutes away from the hotel and looked at her. "So here's the thing, I need to blindfold you", "Oh, yeah? Why though?", she asked. "Ask no questions hear no lies, so here" I said giving her a blindfold. She took it and blindfolded herself, to make sure she couldn't see nothing I held up my middle finger and she said nothing meaning she couldn't see.

"Just trust me Okay?", I said holding her hand as we were heading to our room. "If I fall I swear it won't be nice Nicole", "The government, Okay chill. I got you" I said.
We arrived and I opened the door, I held her hand and directed her in. I smiled at my good work looking around. "It smells good in here" she said. "Uhm, yeah" I said going around her to let loose of the blindfold.

"I'm removing the blindfold now. Please keep your eyes closed", "Alright" she said. "Are your eyes closed", "Oh my God, yesss! Can I open them now?", she asked making me nervous all over again. "Yeah" I said. She slowly opened them and held her hand over her mouth. "Nicole! This is beautiful", she said looking like she was about to cry.

The room was dark but was lit up by the candles and the rose petals were everywhere. She gave me a warm smile accompanied by a hug. My face was now a light shade of pink. On the inside I was rejoicing that at least she liked it.

"You ready to eat?", I asked. "Ready to eat you? Anyday" she said licking her lips. "Not me, at least not yet. I'm talking about the food", "Oh the food, the food yeah I'm ready" she said before releasing a small laugh. I led her to the dinner table and pulled the chair for her.

We were laughing and talking about everything that came into our minds. The conversation wasn't awkward it was heartwarming. Everytime I have a conversation with her I realize that everything she says makes a lot of sense, I grow and learn from her and I honestly love that. I mean she's beautiful and got brains too. I'm honestly the luckiest woman on Earth right now.

"Thank you so much for this", she said. "For you I'd do anything but this is absolutely nothing. Come here" I said. "Yow, there's more?", she asked standing up. "Yessirr" I grinned. I led the way to the bedroom, following the petals. So we were going to have our dessert on the right side of the bed. I had written my question on the bed using the rose petals. The bedspread was white so you know the Valentine's vibe.

I slowly opened the door and allowed her to go in first. I said a little prayer before following her in. "Oh no Nicole you didn't", "Yes I did, you like it?" I asked noticing she hasn't looked at the bed yet. "I don't like it, nigga I love it!" she said. She turned and lifted her eyes to bed. "Oh my God! Yes, yes, yes!" she said jumping up and down. I had written WILL YOU OFFICIALLY BE MY BABY? And she said YES! I did the Milly Rock and couldn't help but smile.

I passionately kissed her pouring all my feelings into the kiss. She smiled during the kiss making me smile too. Cute things like these make me fall in love with her every single second. We took off our shoes and made ourselves comfortable while sitting down and admiring the view from inside our room. It was definitely heartfelt how the both of us managed to stick around for each other when one would've just left.

We were seated eating strawberries and chocolate, with my arm around her. She would look at me and just giggle like a little girl and I would kiss her forehead and give her a peck on the lips. "What would beautiful blue skies be without weed?" I asked pulling out some fresh rolled blunts I had for us. "Definitely nothing", she said smiling.

I placed the blunt in between my lips and lit it up with my eyes directly looking at hers. I inhaled, held the smoke in and blew it out. I inhaled yet again, held the smoke in for a little longer still looking at her while she smirked. As I was blowing it out she leaned in and inhaled the smoke. I won't lie the eye contact was doing something to me. I then passed her the blunt. My Intuition by Sy Ari Da Kid ft. Verse Simmonds started playing. I don't know how to sing but for her I'd definitely sing like Verse.

"I been looking for the right one to give my name to,
Waiting for the right time to tell you it's you, yeah.
'Cause you a vibe like the music in the 90's,
Sitting on the hood, smoking 'til our eyes Chinese,"

She laughed at that part,

"Listening to Jodeci, yeah, oh, we listening to Sy Ari, yeah"
I

finished off.

I sang to her making her blush. The weed was loosening me up a lot more. By just looking at her I just wanted to devour her. I wanted to taste her and I wanted my juices to flow into her mouth. The chorus came on and we both sang,

"My intuition says you're a real one,
I got my hopes up, lose some, you win some, yeah.
Peace, love and wisdom, yeah, yeah.
'Cause any time now, you might miss your chance

And I, I, I, I want you
To realize I, I what you wan' do
Say I, I, ,I (yeah, yeah)
My intuition says you're a real one."

She started kissing up on me and my clit occured a heartbeat. Damnnn! I moaned in her ear and she looked at me before whispering "Let's take this to the bed."
