The Love Within

25

Janet

She kissed everywhere on my body when I tell you make up sex is the best it really is. This girl be making me cry, like it just be that strong.

"I'm sorry baby, please forgive me."

"It's oh— fuck." She had the strap deep in me.

"Look at me." She grabbed my chin making me look her in the eyes. She kissed me slowly sliding her tongue in my mouth. Her strokes slowed down as I realized we won't fucking no more but making love. It made me nervous it was if she staring into my soul. I hated her for that, I hated her for making me feel the way I do. I feel as if I can't love anybody but her, as if I can't be with anyone else if it isn't her. I was handicapped by her love, by her mentally and emotionally.

"I fucked up baby, I'm grown I can admit that. I'm so sorry, you didn't deserve that. If you wanna find someone else you can do that and I'll understand fully. I just don't want you to leave me without letting me have another chance. Please say you forgive me."

"I do daddy, I do."

"I love you baby."

"I love you too, and Toni?"

"Yea love."

"I'll be honored to carry your last name." She stopped to look at me as she kissed me passionately if there was no tomorrow.

"God, I thank you." I just smiled; we kissed falling back into the bed with the sheet over us.

It'll always be Toni and I, not nobody else but us...

Toni

After last night I took Janet back home and went out to the court to practice some more. I haven't gotten all the way rusty but I was getting there. I've been out here since 11 and it was now 4.

I turned around to see Janet looking and smiling at me. I shot my last shot looking at her hearing it go in. I grabbed my ball walking over to her

You're pretty good there."

"I'm not all that good, but thank you. You're Janet aren't you?"

"Yea."

"It's true you're even more prettier in person. Mind if I have a seat?" Janet slid over allowing me to sit beside her

"Thank you, may I ask what's your name?" She asked for my name just how she did when we first met right out here on this court late that one summer night

"Oh I'm sorry, mi nombre es Toni."

"Ok a little Spanish." We shared a short laugh smiling at each other.

"A lil sumn sumn ya know."

"Yea I know."

"So 4 in the afternoon what are you doing out here alone?"

"Just needed to clear my mind some."

"I understand."

" and you, don't you have class tomorrow."

"Nah I'm done for the year, I just only go because I play varsity."

"Oh we have a smarty pants and a athlete."

"You could say that, what school you go to?"

"I don't actually, I just pick up from here and there. I'm never in town long enough to take a full semester."

"Wow, I bet some of the places you've been are beautiful."

"They are, and so are the people. Especially you." She said to me giving me that same look she gave tears before

With the tip of my finger I lifted her head so that their eyes would meet.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Care to join me in a little 21, or if you want to talk about you're problems I'm willing to listen."

"I'd like to and I appreciate that Toni." We got up walking over to the basketball court.

"So how you play?"

"It's simple, you just shoot until one of us reaches 21. Come here." Janet stood beside me listening actively as I went over the line and shot points all over again

"Got it?"

"Got it, I love you." I picked her up and kissed her passionately putting her back down.

"I love you more, you never forgot how we met I see."

"The same goes for you too. Though I could probably cut your ass in 21 now."

"You think so?"

"I know so."

"Bring it."

"You're on..."

We stayed out here til dusk dark playing 21 and reminiscing on how we officially got started all the way up to now.

I truly loved Janet and I think I felt that since the first day we've met. She was meant for me and I'll never jeopardize our relationship again. She's my lover, my wife for the rest of my life. The greatest to ever come into my life. We were one before I asked her to marry me and we'll be one after. She's my forever, and I'll never let her go.....
