DIONNAH'S POV
I got out of bed at 8. Even though it was a Saturday I didn't like sleeping in. I was always a morning person. Thinking about the day ahead and the new possibilities to do great always got me going.
I loved the smell of the crisp morning air and the smell of Danielle's early morning breakfasts that I looked forward to.
The only thing I had on my mind was relaxing and spending my day by the pool. I got up and fished out a red and yellow polka dot bikini before heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a quick shower.
I put on shorts and a tank top then headed downstairs. Upon entering the living room I noticed it was empty. I strolled to the kitchen to find it empty also. A note was sitting on the counter.
'Morning Dee didn't want to wake you. Jon and I are gone to pick up his brother. Be back in a couple of hours. XOXO Dani.
I sighed, "So much for an early breakfast."
I decided to make an egg omelet with toast. I was wavering between having orange juice or mimosa with my food. I decided to leave the mimosa for the poolside and settled with some black coffee. After pouring the coffee I remembered what Jon had said about adding a little cream to my coffee.
I smiled as I got the creamer and add some to my coffee. I admired how the black coffee and cream blended as I stirred it. Not bad I thought as I took a sip.
I wolfed down my breakfast within minutes. I did the dishes and tidied up before heading back upstairs to put on my bathing suit.
When I took up my bikini from the bed something fell on the floor. When I look down it was my vibrator. It must've been tangled in my bikini I thought.
I reached for it and smiled as a thought came to mind. I was sex-starved so who could blame me?
As I lay on the bed I started stroking my breast. My nipples hardened at the sensitive touch.
I roamed my hand down to the waist of my shorts until I could feel my honey pot. I gently rub my clit until I felt the sensation that I yearned for. I took the vibrator and licked it to give it moisture. I then placed it on my most sensitive bundle of nerve and started moving my hand in a circular motion. I let out a small moan as the sensation started to build up. I pushed the button on the vibrator setting the pulse on high. I had no choice but to start moving my hips as the sensation builds higher and higher. I could feel I was close, I started moving my hand faster and faster while my hips move in the same motion.
My vision became blurry so I shut my eyes and let out a groan as my release came shattering my core most exquisitely. I opened my eyes and steadied my breathing and smiled.
After about five minutes I got up and went to the bathroom to wash up and put on my bathing suit.
I decided to put my hair in a ponytail and headed downstairs.I made a small jug of mimosa and took it outside with me by the pool. I poured a glass and sat on the chair before taking a magazine out of my bag.
I sipped on my drink and sighed.
"How relaxing," I said to myself.
I lay down and started reading the magazine. I was on the third page when my phone starts to ring. I looked at it and saw that it was Jonathan calling.
"What's up, Jon?" I inquired.
"Dee it's Dani," my sister said from the other end.
"Dee we are on our way back. We're gonna stop for food, you want anything?"
"Yeah whatever you're having order the same for me."
"Ok, sis. What are you up to by the way?"
"Nothing really, just relaxing by the pool," I told her.
"Ok. I'll see you soon, bye."
"Later." with that I hung up the phone and checked the time.
It was only 11:45. I sighed as I dropped my phone into my bag and started reading again. I was on my second glass of mimosa and feeling tipsy.
I was a light drinker so I don't like drinking. I put down the glass and decided to take a lap around the pool.
After swimming I laid down on my chaise and continued reading. I was beginning to feel like sleeping so I placed the magazine over my face and dozed off.
I woke to the sound of my phone ringing. It was Jonathan again.
"Yes Dani," I answered.
"We're almost there. Please check to see if there's enough juice and cheese for me. I'm stopping at the store to get a couple of things."
"Okay," I sighed as I entered the kitchen. I opened the fridge and then the pantry.
"So we are running low on juice but the cheese is fine. And please grab some peanuts for me, salted and honey roasted."
"Okay, we'll be home soon."
"Okay bye."
When I looked at my phone I saw some unread emails that I decided to respond to them.
It was after one in the afternoon and the heat was up. I decided to head inside and finish reading the magazine. As I sat in the living room my phone rings again.
Damn it was Amelia
"Hello Amelia," I answered
"Hey Dionnah, what are your plans for tonight?"
"I planned on going to bed early and getting a good night's rest," I said knowing where this was going.
"Boss you are younger than I am and you act so old, we are going out tonight, I'm coming by to get you at around 7. Be ready." And with that, the call was cut off.
I sighed before getting up to go grab a glass of water.
As I was in the kitchen I heard Dani calling out to me.
"Dionnah we're home. Come and meet Mike," she hollered from the living area.
"Ok, I'll be right there," I shouted from the kitchen.
I wish I went and changed out of my bikini before they returned home. At least it had a wrap around my waist I thought as I entered the living room.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Jonathan's brother. The glass I was holding in my hand was now shattered on the floor.
I could only stare at our guest with wide eyes.The name Mike kept ringing in my ears.How did I not figure it out?
Jonathan's brother Mike was Amelia's friend from college. Blind date Michael was my sister's new brother-in-law.
Fuck my life!
If I had a weak heart, I would be dead. I could die of fright and no one would know why, except for the tall, built, handsome, oh so sexy man standing in front of me. While on our date, I didn't get the chance to appreciate how good-looking he truly was.He wore a Navy-blue T-shirt that hugged his strong, toned torso, his charcoal-coloured jeans pants covered his long-toned legs that could run a hundred marathons without buckling and caving in underneath him. His outfit was completed with sneakers that matched the colour of his jeans. I could see the ink that covered his right arm. It was from his wrist leading up to the length of his arm and disappearing under the sleeve of his shirt. I could make out some of the images. I saw a rose with a name scribbled on the stem, Jesus Christ with his hands clasped, and some teardrops flowing from his eyes. I never thought about tattoos being sexy, but looking at his, I got an uneasy feeling in my stomach. My eyes lingered on his arms, appre
His eyes were like two laser beams burning into my soul. I couldn't take it anymore. “What?” I inquired. He just stood there still, assessing me, scanning me with those damn eyes of his and then he spoke. “Why did you run out on our date?” He asked.“Why didn't you tell them we've met before?” I countered.“Would you rather I did?”“Actually, no,” I blurted. “It was my first blind date, and I wasn't expecting someone like you.”“Someone like me?” He asked with eyebrows raised.“You know, Amelia didn't tell me you were white, and that threw me off. I mean, I've never dated a white guy before. I, much rather prefer men of the same colour as me,” I said, hoping I didn't sound like a bitch.“Oh, now I see. Are you prejudiced?”“Of course not. My sister's fiancé is white, and he's remarkable. It's just not my preference.”“OK I get it,” He smiled.“So, have you ever been with a black girl? – I mean, dated a black girl,” I corrected.“I date all different types of women of all shades, colo
The rest of the weekend flew by quickly. I stayed in my room mostly, so I could finish up some documents on my computer. The fashion show was only a few months away, and I needed to be on track with everything.When I woke up Monday, I felt refreshed. I got up to take a shower when I heard movements in the hallway. I placed my ear on the door and I listened. My heart jumped when I heard a small knock on the door. I bit my bottom lip in order for me not to scream, and then I waited and heard feet shuffling away. I took a deep breath before I opened the door. My eyes landed on the trinkets down below and my breath caught in my chest. There was a light-brown teddy bear wearing a red bow. It was almost as tall as me. A box of chocolates lay perfectly in a heart-shaped box next to a well-put-together bouquet of Lilacs. There was a huge white box with a red bow. I looked up and down the hallway to see if I saw anybody, but I didn't.I hurriedly moved the items inside. I flung the bear on my
MICHAEL'S POV Fifty-six hours, twenty-two minutes, and twelve seconds. That's how much time had passed since Dionnah and I shared the most exhilarating kiss. 13, 14, 15. I kept counting the second hand on the clock that was sitting on the nightstand. Fifty-six hours, twenty-two minutes, and eighteen seconds. That's how long since I've seen Dionnah. Was she avoiding me? Did she enjoy the kiss? Now I felt guilty because over the years I've kissed many women and ghosted them after. Maybe this was my retribution. I went up to her room door a couple of times contemplating whether or not I should knock, but I was told by Dani that Dionnah was engrossed in her fashion show project. My heart stung with heaviness as I longed to see her face. Was this really how a woman felt after a man hit it and quit it? If so, then I feel awful because I'd done this to so many women. I didn't have all the time in the world to make a tally of how many hearts I left in shambles. It was Sunday night, and the
DIONNAH'S POV I was just sitting there, gritting my teeth and staring daggers at the three people making fun of my blind date fiasco the other night. So, what if I ran away because the man was white? I just didn't date them and that was that. “Haha haha!” Dani threw her head back, giggling like a lunatic after she recited something funny at my expense, again. Her luscious lips, which were similar to mine, trembled as she belted out the most unladylike laugh I had ever heard her give. I was angry at her for outing me and letting everyone know I don't normally dress like this. I watched through squinted eyes as Jon wiped his soon-to-be wife's mouth. She laughed so hard that she began to drool. “And then I said, Dee, Don't knock it till you've tried it," Jonny added, sending Dani into another fit of laughter. She threw herself into Jonny's arms. Both of them held each other as they laughed their asses off. Those two, Dani and Jonny, were like two peas in a pod. A part of my insid
M.I.K.E.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Miller, this is Dionnah Delaney from Delaney Designs. I am calling to confirm our meeting next Tuesday. Looking forward to doing business with you." Dionnah sat at her desk making business calls, trying to get that hot piece of work out of her head. She couldn't stand their heated encounters but yet, she secretly desired them. The adrenaline rush and the heat he emitted when he got deeply agitated made Dionnah more turned on than ever. Maybe she was a little crazy, she thought. This behaviour was a little toxic. “Hmm," she hummed attentively while she listened to her potential client on the other end of the receiver. M.I.K.E.Y.“Yes, Mrs. Miller, we do offer top-notch service and I guarantee satisfaction, if not, you get 50 percent of your money back." M.I.C.H.A.E.L.“I hope so, too. Thank you for considering Delaney Designs. Have a lovely day," Dionnah chimed in her best customer service voice as she ended the call. She wanted to ensure she gave nothi
“How dare he! How dare he!" Dionnah fumed, throwing her pen across her office. Michael had built up her heart with excitement and the possibility that she could love again, only to shred it by accusing her of cheating. After what dirty Derick did to her, she not only promised herself not to date anyone white, but she also made a vow that if she managed to get into another relationship, she would never cheat or give her partner any doubts about her fidelity. “Oh, shit!” She whined to herself. “This man is driving me crazy."She paced around the room, ignoring her office phone that kept on ringing non-stop. “What am I thinking? How can I cheat on someone I'm not even in a relationship with? Why am I so bothered by this?" The phone kept on ringing. “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" She grabbed her purse and slapped the phone over and over with it until it fell off her desk. “Oh, My God! I think it's dead." Amelia entered the office just in time to see Dionnah murdering the office phone. “
Dionnah was flustered and out of breath, feeling awkward standing there gawking at the Mountain of sexiness in front of her. He was just standing there glaring at nothing in particular. His hands leisurely tucked into the pockets of his grey sweatpants that hugged his bow legs appreciatively. His dark silk muscle shirt was sleeveless, baring his biceps to Dionnah. Her tummy somersaulted as she marvelled at the handsome man before her. His arm tattoos hit that sweet spot between her thighs every time. It was like each moment her eyes met him; they tricked her brain into thinking it was the first time they were seeing him, causing her to forget how to breathe. But she pushed through her uneasiness and spoke. "Michael, I'm here." She chomped down on her bottom lip, trying hard not to run and tackle him to the ground and kiss him until both their mouths wither and turned into dust. She lingered for him to reply. She noticed his shoulders tensed at the sound of her voice, like he didn't e
