Chapter 25

My heart was pounding, beating so loud that I could hear it

My stomach was filled with butterflies flying around

I looked at him and smiled awkwardly, I was confused, he hugged me

" I know you're confused right now, but you could say yes now because of the people, then think about it" he whispered into my ear

" Thank you" was the only thing that escaped my lips, he pulled back as I inhaled his cologne and held my hand walking towards the front yard

***********************

I woke up feeling weird and dizzy

Today's the burial!!!

I jumped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower

I rushed and and creamed my body after drying it and put on my suit I had dry cleaned the previous day

Deep inside of me, I hoped to see Jamal that day, I looked into the mirror and smiled

My phone beeped...

I picked it up and opened the message I just received

Alex, I smiled

" Good morning babe, I'll be waiting for you and Aunty Jane in the car in 20 minutes, Love you" I chuckled and put the phone in my purse

I walked to the front of the mirror and pouted then looked up trying to decide what wig to wear

Hmmmm... Nah

I picked up my pitch black derby hat, put on some perfume and walked out of the room, down the staircase and into the kitchen

I picked up a bottle of water and opened the door

" Aunty Jane good morning, I'm at Alex's house!!" I yelled so she could hear and walked out the front door and shut back once I was outside

I hopped over to Alex's house, I literally hopped

I pressed the door bell as Alex's mom opened the door

"K.C, how are you??" She gave me a brief hug and smiled

" He's up in his room" I nodded and started climbing up the staircase

I knocked on his room door and opened it slowly

" Babe??" I callhed walking around the room

" In here" he called from the walk-in closet

I dropped my purse on the bed and walked into the closet

" Are you looking for something??" He turned around and grabbed my hand bringing me to the front of the shelf he was

" I can't find my black tie" I looked at him, he was putting on joggers and nothing up...hmmm

" Where have you checked for it??" I looked up at the shelf and started moving the clothes out if the way

" I give up" he walked out of the closet and sat on the bed watching me stretch up to the upper shelf

" Why are you staring at me??" I asked after glancing at him

" Nothing" he smiled. He stood up, walked back into the closet and stood behind me

" What are y-" he lifted me up from my waist and put me on his shoulders

" Can you reach them now??" I chuckled and grabbed the tie that was stuck between the wall and the shelf

" Where exactly did you look??" I waved the tie in front of him, he brought me down from his shoulders and back hugged me

" What's this for??" I could feel his boner, I just chuckled and turned around putting my arms around his neck before locking my lips with his

" Get dressed or we'll be late" I let go of him and pick up my derby hat walking out of the closet

" Yes ma'am" he replied and I chuckled

I sat on the bed and waited for him

" How do I look??" I stood up, looked at him from his glistering black hair to his black polished moccasins

" You look amazing but one final touch" I walked up to him and loosed the tie throwing it on the bed then loosening the first two buttons

" I took my time to look for that"

" You look more irresistible this way" he bent forward to kiss me but I placed my finger on his lips

" Just a peck" he begged and I removed my finger wrapping my arms around his neck and locked lips with him

***Knock***

" Alex honey, Miss Jane is downstairs" I smiled pulling back and picking up my hat and purse

" Okay, thanks mom" he replied

" We'll continue this later" I chuckled
