“Damn, I thought you got kidnapped or some shit,” Terrance joked when I answered.
I laughed and shook my head. “My bad, man. You forgot I told you I hooked up with Lyric that I went to college with?”
“Oh shit, I sure did. How did that go?”
I went on to tell him about the date, minus the intimate stuff of course. I wasn’t a kiss-and-tell type of dude. I did tell him about the things I had planned for the day.
“I need to stop by her job to make sure she’s even available for the day.”
“Dawg, you did all of that, and she could still say no. Yeah, you gone over shorty.”
Terrance knew how I felt about Lyric, and he knew how I was coming. We had the conversation about her before.
I shrugged, even though he couldn’t see me. “A little, but I have no doubts that she’ll be down.”
“I hope so. I’m not gonna hold you up, Casanova. I have some plans of my own.”
I could tell by his tone that he had a sneaky grin on his face.
“Don’t get yourself into no shit you can’t get out of,” I joked.
“I’m careful. You don’t either.”
“I’m good. Anything I get into with Lyric is wanted.”
We talked for a few more minutes, then I got up to head to the office building where Lyric worked.
During my research on her social media page, I learned about her love of coffee, and I was sure she could use another cup.
I gathered my room key and put my phone in my pocket before I headed out. I noticed it was a coffee shop a few doors down from the hotel, so I stopped there first.
Lyric was in her temporary office when I arrived. She was alone, but looked to be busy, so I tapped on the door. She smiled when she looked up.
When she motioned for me to enter, I pushed open the door. The sweet smell of her perfume circulated in the room.
“Hey, sorry I had to leave you this morning. I didn’t want to wake you,” she said as she stood from her chair.
Today she wore black leggings with a white Tech Angels T-shirt. Her feet were covered with white socks but no shoes.
“It’s cool.” I walked over to her and kissed her cheek. “I got you something.”
Her eyes lit up when I passed her the cup.
“Thank you.” She took a sip and hummed. “This is perfect. How did you know how I liked my coffee?” Her hand flew to her wide hip as she took another sip.
My eyes gravitated to the curves of her hips.
“I have my secrets,” I teased. “I came here for a reason.”
She dropped her hand and put the cup on her desk. “Oh yeah? What is the reason?”
Lyric put her head down and blushed when I crowded her space. I loved how she acted shy around me.
I lifted her chin with my index finger. “Don’t get shy now. You weren’t shy when you had my dick in the back of your throat.”
Her eyes softened and became glossy. “Chauncey.” My name came out in a half-whisper, half-moan.
If given the chance, she’d do it again in a heartbeat.
