Page 8 of Feeling Blue

“I see.”

“You got our tickets booked?”

“Yeah, we leave tonight at seven.”

Blue’s face brightened when he smiled. He couldn’t wait to get on the plane to California. Even though he was ready to see Forever’s house and the way she lived on a day-to-day basis, he was even more ready to dive inside. It had been too long since he’d had some pussy and he really couldn’t wait. From the moment the judge rendered him a free man, he’d been contemplating catching a quickie as soon as he could, but he wasn’t sure. He didn’t want to ruin their first time together. He owed her too much, and he wanted to make sure she got it.

“You gon’ act shy around me all night?” Blue ran his hand through her long hair before gripping the back of her neck.

He felt her relax against his hand before shaking her head no. “I’m just still trying to process all of this. You really being out and free,” she smiled at him. “I’m so happy and high right now that I can’t really talk.”

“Hell yeah,” he agreed, as they stopped in front of the truck.

His smile grew again when he hit the fob and cranked it up. Forever was right next to him, basking in his excitement. Her happiness made him want to love her up, so he did.

“Aye, let me get some love,” he grabbed her small waist and leaned her against the side of his truck.

His lips and hands were back on her and going to town as his heart beat uncontrollably in his chest. Forever had him so riled up that he didn’t even fight the growing erection that time. Instead, he pressed it further into her and moaned.

“I been dreaming about being inside of you,” he whispered into her open mouth.

“Me too.”

The way she gripped his sides through his suit jacket made him fantasize about how it was going to be when they were both naked.

“You feel my joint rocked up?”

She nodded.

“Let’s go see your people, so we can hop on this plane. When we get to your spot, I’ma fuck you so good, you gon’ cry.”

Forever’s small body vibrated in his hands as she allowed her laughter to take over. Blue enjoyed the moment with her before helping her into the truck and occupying the driver’s seat. He received directives from Forever until they were pulling into the driveway of a big ass house. It was so big, he could hardly contain his surprise.

“Who stay here?”

“Goody and Jerrico.”

“You said bruh a chef, right? And Goody ass still rapping?”

She nodded and began grabbing her things to get out of his truck. He cursed under his breath before reaching for her hand to pause her movement.

“Be still, I’m finna come get it for you.” He told her when she grabbed the door handle.

He winked at her once more before exiting and helping her out. Once they got inside, Blue had to stop to keep himself from crying. He was an extremely emotional man who didn’t mind showing his feelings, so in order to keep them from spilling out, he stood stuck and just took in the scene before him.

The large Welcome Home banner, balloons, table filled with food, and other decorations placed around the living room had him in his feelings bad. Everyone who had been at court was already there with waiting smiles. The three additional people were Goody’s daughter and two older ladies with warm smiles.

One was heavy like his auntie back in Dade and seated on the sofa with a long gray braid hanging over her shoulder, while the other one looked middle-aged and somewhat stylish. She was holding Goody’s baby girl, who he’d talked to on FaceTime a while back, and looked happy to see him.

“You like it?” Forever whispered from beside him.

“You just don’t know how good you getting fucked for this.”

Forever couldn’t contain the squeal she released when his lips brushed against her ear.

“I know what the yell mean. What he say, Rabbit? It was nasty wasn’t it?” Eternity yelled from across the room.

“Chileeeeeee,” Forever sang to her cousin, making all the women in the room laugh.
