Page 19 of Not Afraid to Trust Again
“Yes, Elise. I’m perfect. Let’s go eat.” I grabbed her hand and led her to the front door.
An older couple who went to church with my parents came in and stopped me. I talked to them for a minute, but I had to cut it short since we were pressed for time.
“Ooh, I get to ride in the cop car today?” She smiled as I opened the door for her.
“Word has it you’ve been up to no good, so I may have to take you down to the station and keep you locked up for a few days.”
“I have been a bad girl.” She smirked and got into the car.
I had to adjust my dick before I got in the car. If we ate fast enough, maybe we’d have time for a quickie before I dropped her off. It would make a good day even better.
“I guess we’ll have to do something about that after lunch,” I told her when I got in the car.
“You better eat fast then.”
“Oh, I’m going to eat all right.” I winked at her then turned the car on.
I waited for her to get comfortable before I pulled off.
“How are you feeling?” She’d been attending therapy and a support group, so her mood had been so much better, but I liked to check in with her.
“I’m feeling good. Therapy and the group have helped tremendously. I couldn’t imagine experiencing some of the things that a few of the ladies experienced. Just makes you think that sometimes when you think your life is bad, someone is going through something ten times worse.”
I reached over and squeezed her knee before resting my hand on her leg.
“Glad to hear it. I’m proud of you for taking that step and sticking with it.”
She beamed at me when she looked in my direction.
Her hand rubbed circles on her stomach. “Thank you for encouraging it. I have to heal for our baby.”
“And for yourself.”
We continued to talk about how our day had been going so far as I drove us to a secluded area. It had tables and chairs, but it was off a road less traveled and less of a chance for someone to catch us. I mean, if they did, who were they going to tell? I am the police, and my brother was the mayor, so there was nobody to reprimand me, but I still didn’t want us to get caught.
“I guess you are trying to send me back to work with a wet ass, huh?” Kanae asked as we got out of the car.
“No wetter than my dick will be. And it’s not my fault you are carrying around a water park between your legs.”
“So mannish. Can we eat first though?”
I wanted to have her for lunch, but my baby needed to eat first, so I grabbed her hand and led her to the table.
“Are you going to be okay out here? It’s not too cold, is it?”
The weather had been chilly for the last few weeks, but it wasn’t too cold. I was used to the cold, though, so it didn’t bother me. The fall and winter were my favorite seasons anyway.
I helped her sit on the bench before I went around the other side to sit across from her.
“Nope. It’s perfect.”
“That it is.” I handed her a sandwich and water out of the bag I had gotten from the deli.
She did her little shimmy dance as she took the wrapper off the sandwich.
“You’re doing all of that and don’t even know what it is,” I teased.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s food, and I know you wouldn’t bring me something I don’t like.”
