Once he exited, the rest of his family followed behind him. Aaron, Imani, and I were the only people remaining in the large conference room.
“Is this real?” I asked Aaron.
“It’s very real. You are now the owner of Mrs. Baxter’s estate in Brookville. The deed has already been transferred to your name.” He slid me an envelope with the deed and the keys to the house.
“I can tell by your reaction that you’re surprised by all of this. During the time that I knew Mrs. Baxter, she spoke of you more than she did of everyone else in this room. She intended for you and her grandson to have the house. However, once she found out he was divorcing you, she changed her mind. Here is my card. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me,” he said.
After a few minutes of silence, I gathered the envelope as we left the office. The lobby was clear as we made our way to the elevator. I was still too stunned to speak. Granny Tab’s home had been in the Baxter family for generations. I didn’t even care that she left me the house. I would cherish her last words to me forever.
Imani and I eventually hailed a cab and made our way back to my place in Brooklyn. During the entire ride, we sat in silence.Imani knew me well enough to understand that sometimes I needed to be in my own world. Tears streamed down my face as I reminisced about the times I spent with Granny Tab. I wiped my face before we exited the cab in front of my place. After doing some digging in my purse, I found my sunglasses. The sun had come out when we were a few blocks away from my place. Once we were inside my place, I went straight out to the patio.
“What are you going to do about the house?” Imani asked.
“I have no idea. This is too much. Mason isn’t going to let me have the house without a fight, so I won’t get too attached to the idea of keeping it for now,” I admitted.
“Yeah, the man-child was mad as hell. Granny Tab was a mess, talking about how his ass needed to get closer to God. He deserved that for how he treated you,” Imani stated.
“Granny Tab didn’t play about me, not even when it came to her own grandson. I’m really going to miss her. I can’t believe she passed, and I wasn’t there. That guilt is going to be with me for a long time,” I confessed as I put my head down.
“By her final words to you, she understood. The two of you built a very special bond. She knew how much you loved her. In her last days, she remembered how you were there for her. Don’t be too hard on yourself,” Imani advised as she walked over and hugged me.
For the rest of the afternoon, Imani made me share only happy memories of my time with Granny Tab. It was nice to reminisce on the positive. I vowed that was all I would focus on when it came to Granny Tab. She was a hell of a woman.
To the Future
After Imani left,I called Jacob. He answered right away. “Hey, love.”
“Can you come over?” I stated in a whispered tone.
“Is everything okay? I have Jada, so I can’t leave,” he informed me.
“Don’t worry. It’s fine,” I murmured.
“Why don’t you come over here? Pack a bag. I’ll stay on the phone with you until you get here. We can talk about whatever is bothering you when you get here,” he offered.
“No, you don’t have to do that. I’ll be fine.”
“Love, I can tell something is on your mind. You don’t have to be alone. Come on over,” he urged.
He was right. I didn’t want to be alone. Jacob stayed on the phone while I packed a bag. I called a cab, and we talked the entire ride. When I pulled up in front of his home, Jacob came to get me out of the car. Once we were inside, he closed the door.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked.
I didn’t have any words, so I shook my head. Jacob led me to his bedroom. I figured Jada was asleep because she didn’t greet me at the door. Jacob got into the bed, and I did the same. He understood I would share when I was ready. I loved how Jacob understood me so well. He never pressured me to do anything I didn’t want to.
When I began pulling my clothes off, he followed suit. In that very moment, I just needed him. My Aquarian spirit needed passion that only he could provide. We spent our evening making love. Jacob gave me the passion I desperately needed all night.
I had been up for a little while, just in my thoughts. Jacob’s hand found my thigh as he woke up from his sleep. From my thigh, his fingers found my honeypot and dipped into it.
“Easy, baby. She’s sore,” I purred as a moan escaped my lips.
“Not too sore for your ass to be moaning in ecstasy,” he teased.
Jacob turned me over and smacked my ass. He lifted the T-shirt he gave me last night over my butt. I felt him tightly grip my waist before he inserted his dick into my honeypot.
“Remember to use the pillow. We know how loud you get when you orgasm,” he whispered in my ear.
“You’re lucky we have baby girl here, or the entire neighborhood would hear me,” I teased in between moans.
