Don't .
"No you did not" I laugh uncontrollably as August tells me a story about one of his earliest memories.
When he was a baby he would always walk around the house in his superman cape which was one of his bed sheets and underwear with a brush in his hand putting on little performances, can you imagine that
"I did, I did" he laughs some more as he looks at me.
We just finished our dinner, Aug had got a steak and some fries while I got chicken tenders and fries.
Chicken tenders will forever be my favorite I don't care how old I get. Now we're eating desert. I took a bite out of my cheescake for the first time listening to him talk
"Mhmm" I moaned softly into the fork. This cheesecake was so good.
It had caramel with bread crumbs at the top with some type of soft creamy cream. Aug stopped mid sentence and looked at me as I took the fork out of my mouth.
"Think you can roll your lips on the wood that good?" He asks
My ears perk up and I choke on air, my ears must not be registering correctly. Did he just say what I think he said. I decided to ignore his comment and change the subject
I look up at him to see him smiling as always. I advert my eyes, I don't know why but looking someone in the eye makes my uncomfortable especially for a long time
"Marian?"
"Yes?" I answer looking up at him this time
"Why do you always do that?"
I decide to play dumb, and act like I don't know what he's talking about "do what?"
"Not look me in the eye?"
"I uhm.. I don't know" when secretly I knew the real reason why.
My insecurities don't show always, but they appear every now and the In conversations.
He continues to look at me before he drops the subject. I still can't get over how surreal this is.
"August why me?" I ask looking him in the eye this time, I wanted the most honest answer there was and I wanted him to mean it
"Why not you? You're beautiful for one, you have this shy aura about you that I like, I've never been with a women that wasn't all over me and you shyness drew me in. You're like one complete mystery that I'd love to get to know that's if you give me the pleasure. You know how to he your own, you're successful from what I can see and you're so damn sexy" he says, licking his bottom lip slowly and rubbing his hands together.
It sends a chill down my body.
I watch his lip closely before the waitress comes up and gives us a check. "Did you have a good time mr.Alsina?" She asks. Smiling a little to hard
"Yeah, it was straight" he replies looking at her. She bends down on the table so her breast are exposed and looks at August.
She skips him a piece of paper and winks. I sigh internally, and say a silent prayer. I don't wanna have to beat any body's butt in here but she's asking for it.
By the look on my face I guess August could tell I was pissed. The audacity of this girl.
"Maria-..." He starts but gets cut off by the waitress. "Your sisters so pretty" she smiles turning around to look at me.
I camly tap the table and stare at the girl.
"You have two seconds to move away from this table, for one you know I'm not his sister. I look nothing like this man. Soo on that note, get your artificial patrolmen gel lopsided looking breast off this table or imma jump over this table and beat you like you deserve. Trust me I mean every word I say, this is your ONLY warning" I take a deep breath
"I'm gonna close my eyes and count to two, If you're not gone by then.. Well" I smile "I won't be welcomed in here anymore"
The girls face is priceless, I guess she couldn't believe I had it in me. I close my eyes and count
"One.. Two" and when I opened my eyes she was gone.
A couple of wondering eyes were drawn to me from other tables. I looked at August only to see him looking back at me. I hate when people underestimate me, just because I didn't grow up in the projects and I'm not a "ghetto" black girl doesn't mean I can't hold my own
"I can't believe you just did that" Aug says "didn't know you had it in ya" he smirks.
I laugh and tell him there's still a lot he doesn't know about me.
I pull my wallet out my purse and get the money out for my half of the ticket
"The hell you doing?" Aug asks
"Uhh paying for my food.." I laugh once again
He puts my hand in his and looks at me like I'm crazy
"Momma raised a gentlemen, I asked you out on this date. I'm paying"
"But.." I sigh
"Marian, I'm not playing put your money away man" he says his voice raising a little. Why is he so mad 😳
I put my money back in my wallet and zip up my purse. Aug gets up and I follow he puts a 100 dollar tip on the table and we're off.
IN THE CAR
"I had a good time tonight" I smile "I'm sorry you had to see me like that I just don't like being disrespected, I promise that's not me at all"
"It's fine, I understand"
he looks back at me. "Does this mean I get a second date?" He smiles a cheeky smile
"Maybeee" I exaggerate the E
He chuckles as we pull up to my house. He gets out his car and walks over to my door opening it for me.
"Thank you" I smile. "You're really sweet"
"I try my best" he says taking my hand as we walk to my front door.
I feel like I'm back in high school again, I can't help but to think back to The princess diaries and the foot popping kiss
I look over Aug taking in his frame. this is reality. I can't believe this.
I get out my keys from my purse and jiggle them. August comes closer to me and grabs me by my waist.
"You look beautiful, I know I've said it multiple times tonight but you look amazing ma" he runs his tongue over his bottom lip again.
I grip his arm tighter to keep from falling, my knees buck from under me the thoughts going through my mind right now. Ever seen a man so fine it makes you wanna cry because you know God took his time? That's how I feel about August
"And you look very handsome tonight too" I say breathlessly "sexy even" I smile.
I guess the word boosted some confidence in him because the next thing I know his lips and on mine. I'm too shocked to kiss back at first but he slaps my butt causing me gasp.
I kiss him back and wrap my arms around his neck. The sexual tension is most definitely there. Our tongue battle against each other for a while before he bites my bottom lip softly causing me to moan. I need to take a breath so I break away before I end up inviting him in.
"Guess I'm better than cheesecake?" He smirks, causing me to laugh
"Nah, no one can compete with my cheesecake" I laugh, but to my utter liking he was the best kiss I've ever had
"We'll see" he says still smirking.
He pecks my lips again "have a great night"
he winks before walking away and getting back in his car. I walk into my house and lock my door. I can't believe that happened
