"Latch"

Do What It Do

(Melanie's apartment in media)

Later that evening, Shawn was nice enough to make me dinner. I assumed he was in a good mood, because it was very rare that he decided to cook without me having to ask him.

"Babe, is the food almost done? I'm starving! ", I shouted from the living room.

"Yeah! Gimme like 10 more minutes! ", he replied back.

I browsed through channels as I waited for him to serve me.

I didn't tell him about working for August just yet, but I had to because I agreed to start tomorrow. Although he's always been supportive of my decisions and work, I was wondering all day about how he'd feel about me working in another man's presence...in his house at that.

I remember when I did my first body paint photo shoot a few years ago. I was so nervous, but Shawn encouraged me to just go and "break a leg". We weren't dating at the moment, but once I got my photos back and posted them on my facebook, he was slightly jealous. Then, I thougt it was cute. But now, he sometimes tend to overexaggerate his jealousy.

At the end of the day, I believe he trusts me, just as much as I trust him. I never cheated and neither has he. We were in this for the long run. Well, that's what I believed.

"Bon apetit my lady.", he said while handing me my plate of steak, macaroni, and string beans.

"Mmm. Looks yummy.", I said.

Everyone who knows me well, know that I love me some steak. Between steak and alfredo pasta. I could eat that shit all day!

Shawn went to the kitchen and returned back with our cups of hawaaiin punch.

He sat down on the couch next to me, "You can't ever say your man don't cater to you.", he said.

"You been slackin' , but thank you baby.", I said leaning over to kiss his cheek.

I ate a piece of my steak as Shawn started to tell me a little about his day.

"I was chillin' wit Kev today. When I say him and his chic are a trip... they a trip and a half! She came to his crib goin off cuz he forgot to pick her up from work. This nigga told her he couldn't pick her up cuz he had to go get his sneakers before da mall closed. So, she played it off like she was gonna leave it alone and deal wit him later... Nah. Shawty came downstairs wit his sneakers and threw it at him. She marked them up sayin 'Fuck u &your sneakers! / Kiss my ass! / D*ckhead!'...like she just straight violated.", he said laughing. "My boy was heated! "

"I bet he was. But why would he put sneakers before his girl? Or actually tellin her that he did... I would've done the same shit she did."

"Yeah, you females be buggin.", he said.

I put my fork down and looked at him. "So you saying you would've left me stranded at work just to go get some sneakers? "

"No. You know I'd neva do you like dat babe.", he replied.

"Whatever.", I said rolling my eyes. "So that's where you were all day? "

"Yeah. Dats where da money was today. I made a come up so imma give dat to you to put towards da electricity bill.", he said.

"Just hold on to it. That bill aint due just yet.", I said while continuing to eat my food.

"Why should I hold on to it when you can just take it and put it up since you gonna need it eventually? ", he asked.

"I may. I may not.", I said. I wasn't gonna be helping August out for long, but I was sure it would be enough funds to cover this month's bills. I figured now would be the time to tell Shawn that I got a temporary job.

"I found a job.", I said to him.

"Word? Doing what? ",he asked.

"Um... kinda like a health aide... but without the license. Myla hooked me up, so Imma give it a try.", I said.

"Das wassup.", he said. "So you gonna be takin care of some cranky old ass woman or old man...them old men be perverts, fillin out prescriptions for Viagra and shit! ", he joked.

I laughed a little at his comment. "Silly.", I said. "Not too old though." I was starting to beat around the bush, but who cares? At least he knows where I'll be and what I'll be doing.

"Oh aight. When you start? ", he asked.

"Tomorrow.", I replied before taking a sip of my juice.

"Well damn. I was only m.i.a. for a day, planned on takin you to breakfast tomorrow and shit.", he said.

"I gotta do what I gotta do.", I shrugged. "Plus it's only temporary so Imma have to find somethin' afterwards."

He nodded his head in agreement. "You right baby. I ain't mad atcha.", he said. "Hopefully soon you won't have to worry 'bout anything. I don't plan on sellin' weed forever. You know dat. I just wanna stack up so we'd be good and just take it from there.Overall, you know I gotchu."

"I know.", I said.

"Good.", he said. "How's the steak? "

"It's nice and flavorable... but it's fighting me back.", I said dramatically acting like I was having difficulty chewing. "It's mad tough babe.", I said laughing.

"Wow. And I thought I put my foot in it. Make your own steak next time then! ", he joked.

I put my plate on the coffee table and turned to him to give his a peck on the lips. "It's not that bad babe. I love your steak."

He sucked his teeth and put his plate down as well. "Say my steak da best."

I straddled him and threw my arms around his neck. "Your steak is the best.", I said.

He pulled me in for a kiss, steak breath and all, I enjoyed it. I missed feeling his affection and touch being that he was often on the go.

We both allowed our kiss to deepen in the midst of him removing my tank top, revealing my bare breasts. He started sucking on my nipples as I grabbed on to his ears and threw my head back. It was no doubt about the fact that he had gotten me hot and bothered, so I got up and led him to the bedroom for us to finish what we had started.

So sweet of Shawn to make dinner. But tough steak tho? Smh lol

When will Melanie let Shawn know that she'll be caring after &helping August? ...at his house!
