Page 13 of His Strings Make Her Legs Sing
Citrell gave me that sexy smirk that had me swallowing his dick not too long ago.Calm down, Sundae, with your hot ass coochie.“How are you, Miss Sundae? I would say that it’s nice to meet you, but you know.”
My eyes bucked as they side eyed him, then looked down at Callira. Her attention had already shifted to Wynsdae. I heard the mention of the song that we would sing together.
Citrell’s hand touched mine and brought my attention back to him. “Do you want to tell me about your place? My mother spoke highly of you.” He stepped into my personal space. “I mean, I know a reason to speak highly of you, too, but I’m thinking that her reason is different from mine.”
I choked a little on my damn spit.I can’t believe he just said that.I needed to get myself together. I was not in his laid-back bar about to sexually seduce him with my voice. I was at my place of business where education and my children were the priority.
I straightened my back and summoned my professionalism to me. “Yes, your mother, Rella, is an amazing woman as is your daughter. How about I first give you and Callira the tour? After the tour, if she’s comfortable with my sister and me, you can discuss whether you would like Brilliant Minds to join you on her academic journey.”
“That sounds like a plan. Sundae, you can say my name.” When I paused to look at him with tight eyes, he chuckled. “Not like that, nasty ass girl. You can address me by my name. If you want to keep the professional mode, it’s Mr. Wick.”
I glared at him for a moment. He was finding comedy in my uncomfortableness. I wanted to slap him, then fuck him, but more so slap him. I just walked off. “Callira, would you like totour my place? Maybe if your Grandme and daddy say so, you can come learn with me and Wynsdae after school some days.”
“Yes, I want to. This is your place?” she asked with widened eyes. “Wow! This place is great. Is this where we’re gonna sing?”
My sister smiled. “That’s the plan if everyone agrees. Come on, so we can show you what we do here.”
For the next half an hour, we toured our center and talked about what we did and how it could apply to Callira. Citrell confirmed my thought about her down syndrome diagnosis. Based on the curriculum that Rella taught Callira, she was in the third grade. I currently had three other special needs students on that grade level that I believed she would fit in with. Two were autistic and the other also had down syndrome.
After our tour, Wynsdae and Callira went over to our reading nook to further look at our book collection. It delighted my reading soul when she said that she loved books. Citrell and I weren’t too far away at one of the tables to discuss business further.
“So, what are your thoughts? Do you think this is somewhere that would be a fit for your daughter and her educational needs?” I asked him once we settled at the table.
Citrell glanced around our main room in the center where we sat. “Yeah, this place is definitely a fit for her. I think it’s more that you are a fit for her. My mother told me how you handled the situation in the grocery store. You have no idea how grateful I am that you snuck out of my house, then went to the grocery store where you ran into them.” His brow arched.
I couldn’t hold my laughter anymore. “Why are you like this? Sir, I’m trying to have a conversation about your daughter’s education.”
He didn’t join in with the laughter. “Sundae, I knew that I was going to let her come here when my mother told me about how you interacted with her in the store. That was before shehanded me your business card and I saw that it was you. We can start her off at one day a week for the first month, then pick it up to two a week and work our way up to three if that’s alright. I don’t want to overwhelm her with the change.”
“Oh, yes, that is perfect,” I said enthusiastically. “I am so excited to have her join us. I can send over the contracts electronically for you and your mother to review. The tuition can be paid weekly, monthly, quarterly, or by the half a year. We provide various payment schedules to accommodate almost everyone. Since we are going to work on a buildup schedule for Callira, I’ll give you the tuition breakdown for the first three months.”
His stare was intense as he listened to me.Why is he looking at me like that?Before he responded, he leaned forward on the table. “That’s cool. You can send over an invoice for the first month with the contract. We’ll all keep an eye on her adjustment to know how we need to change the schedule if needed.” I agreed, then jotted down notes on my tablet. His next words caused my head to pop up from my tablet. “Now that that’s over, are you going to let me take you on a date?”
I wasn’t sure why I was surprised that he asked me out. I mean, I did fuck this man. My mind went blank for a split moment. “Um, I need to speak with my sister for a moment.”
I didn’t give him a chance to respond before I jumped up from my seat. “Wynsdae, I need to see you in my office please.” I didn’t give her a chance to deny the request before I pulled her behind me.
“Damn, girl! What’s wrong?” Wynsdae asked with concern dripping from her tone. “He doesn’t want to enroll her?” Disappointment seeped through.
I waved her off. “Girl, no, he wants to enroll her. I’m sending him and his mother the contract and invoice for the first monthafter he leaves.” I paused for a quick beat. “He asked me out on a date.”
Her face tightened before she peeked over her shoulder. She walked to my office door, then closed it. When she turned to look at me, I knew she was about to cuss me out. “Bitch, I know good and well you didn’t pull me back here because the man that you let smut you out actually asked you on a date. I know that’s not what it is.”
I waiteda few days before I decided to come through to see Sundae and Wynsdae’s business. I didn’t want to go the day after she was in my bed. She might have thought I was a stalker or some shit. I planned to come in alone, but my mother told me that would be weird to come in without Callira since she should have been the focus.Good point, Ma!
I took the time to look up the center before I came in. They had social media pages, a website, and were heavily reviewed. Yeah, I told Sundae that it would have been a yes because of her interaction with my baby in the grocery store, but that wasn’t 100 percent true. Yeah, I was appreciative of her selflessness with my mother and daughter, but if the reviews hadn’t addedup, I wouldn’t have stopped in. Well, that was a lie, too, because I needed some more of that pussy at the bare minimum.
To see how Callira reacted when she saw Sundae stirred something in me. My daughter wasn’t even that excited to see her fucking mama. Sundae did most of the talking when we toured the center. I loved that she not only talked to me, but she included Callira in the conversation to learn about her likes and dislikes. It was evident that my daughter felt comfortable with Sundae and Wynsdae because she touched them and allowed them to touch her. Callira was not a child who liked physical touch from people she didn’t trust.
Sundae was sexy in the general sense. To see her with my daughter made her sexy in theI could possibly wife hersense. I needed to find out if I could wife her. “Now that that’s over, are you going to let me take you on a date?”
It was like I factory reset her or something because her stare at me was blank as hell. She set her tablet on the table. “Um, I need to speak with my sister for a moment.”
She jumped up like the damn seat was on fire.The fuck!After she pulled her sister to the back, I went over to the reading nook with Callira. “Hey, baby girl. What do you think about coming here some afternoons after school with Grandme?”
It took her a second to pull herself from the book that she flipped through. “I would like that. Is Sundae and Wynsdae going to be here when I come?”
“Yes, baby. Miss Sundae will be another teacher of yours like your Grandme,” I told her. “She’s going to teach you new stuff.”
