“Ma’am never mind him, we’re just here to board our plane to Kentucky.” I said as I stepped up to the counter and Wayne stood back with his arms in the air.
I stood there and giggled to myself as Wayne mumbled and pouted behind me as the woman went through her computer to check our flight.
“Umm, ma’am I’m sorry but there seems to be a delay with your flight. You all were supposed to leave at 1 pm but now it seems you won’t leave until 3:00. I am so sorry for the delay, but we are offering $40 food vouchers to you both that can be used right here at any one of our restaurants.” The woman said as I thought about what a delay could do to the case.
I wanted to get there early that day to talk to my P.I. and see if he had the pictures that captured the plaintiff in the case using the very arms he said were permanently damaged by Emerson’s device. That was the one piece of evidence I knew would win the case, along with Wayne’s interview of the supplier. That’s why just the thought of a delay and possibly having to miss some key piece of the puzzle instantly snapped me out of my cheerful, carefree mood and put me straight in panic mode.
“Oh my freaking God. We need to get there like an hour ago. I need this deal to go through smoothly. I knew we should have drove; Kentucky is nowhere from here. You think it’s too late to rent a car? OMG what do we do?” I said panicking as I turned to look at Wayne and his smiled turned into a serious, look of concern.
In an instant Wayne had snapped back into the professional, kind man I knew mostly and put my weary mind at ease.
“It’s okay Yasmine, no worries. We’ll make it there in good time and you can still meet with the people you wanted to talk to, it will just be a bit late. No need to hyperventilate because you have already succeeded beautiful. Now, take these food vouchers.” Wayne said with his arms on my shoulder, before he turned to take the vouchers out of the woman’s hand and give them to me.
“Take these and go pick the perfect place for us to eat and talk while we wait on our flight. I’m going to go call Emerson, tell Lynworth what’s going on and reschedule that meeting with the rep from Emerson’s Kentucky division until right before the court proceeding tomorrow. That way when we get there, you can go do whatever is so important that it has you freaking out while I prepare some notes or plan our play time; or something. You just stop stressing so damn much before you put wrinkles in your beautiful skin. You’re already amazing Yasmine, no need to try to be perfect. Now, go. I’ll be there in a minute.” Wayne said. I finally took in a breath and stopped the anxiety as it tried to consume me.
I felt a little relief after Wayne’s speech, so I took the vouchers and gave him my corporate smile; even though on the inside I was on edge.
“Okay Wayne you’re right. What do you feel like, Mexican or Italian?” I asked Wayne as he grabbed our bags off the counter and we walked away.
He walked me all the way to the entrance of the food court as I read off our choices of food spots on the flyer the woman at the counter had given us with the vouchers. When we stopped at the entrance and I read the last food choice, I looked up to see Wayne as he gawked at me with a weird look on his face.
“Damn Yass, you so beautiful. A man can just fall in love by looking in yo eyes.” Wayne said in a soft tone with a faraway look in his eyes that made me feel a bit nervous.
I had to look away, his glance was so intense and made my heart race while my coochie got moist. I wanted so badly to ease that sexual tension between us; but that new, apprehensive feeling the way he looked at me brought on, had me on the fence. Wayne could see it too when I looked back at him and he suddenly snapped into the kind, professional man he was before.
“I’m sorry Yasmine, I really am. I know how important this is to you, so I’m going to try to contain myself until our business is done. So with that said, I could really eat some Italian so Olive Garden sounds great. Go grab us a table and I’ll be there in a second to try and not stare into your eyes.” Wayne said as I giggled and began to walk inside the entrance to the food court to find Olive Garden.
“I can’t wait until you let me have dessert though YASSSS.” Wayne whispered loudly behind me as he laughed and I turned around to laugh along with him.
I waved him off after I laughed long enough to release all of my anxiety, then I walked off to find Olive Garden. After I found it I quickly got a table for two and sat down to text Snow.
“Bitch our flight got delayed, but I’m not panicking so don’t start talking yo shit. Wayne fine ass got a bitch mind spinning and I don’t know what to do. One minute I feel like I want to fuck with him on some real shit, but most of the time it’s on some just a fuck shit. Girl, I don’t know what to do, it’s like I’m trapped being the new me while the old me keeps showing up. Bitch, I’m tripping sitting here waiting on him to come back from calling Emerson to tell Lynworth about the delay. What the fuck I’m supposed to do Snow?” I typed quickly on my I-phone, as quickly as I could at least with my nails.
I typed my message and then sat my phone down as the waitress came over for my drink order.
“Ma’am can I get you something to drink and will someone else be joining you?” The pretty little dark skinned girl with big glasses on asked me as I scanned the wine list quickly.
I needed a drink after the day I had, so there was no better time than right then.
“Can I have a glass of Merlot please and yes I will be joined by a gentleman. Get him a glass of Hennessy Ellipse.” I said as I tested my knowledge of how well I knew Wayne.
Although we had only met a few times at work functions, I paid close attention to him because I was always attracted and hoped one day I’d get close enough to him to use my knowledge. I was glad I had done that too, as Wayne suddenly walked in on us as the waitress repeated the drink order and he confirmed what I knew.
“Look at that. How did you know my drink of choice woman?” Wayne asked as he chuckled and sat down across from me.
The waitress laughed too before she hurried off to get our drinks and Wayne stared at me from across the table.
“I know about the things I’m interested in Mr. Godwin. So as you can see you’re not the only person who does their research.” I said as I smiled at Wayne and then picked up my menu to offer as a distraction.
I pretended to ignore him as he sat forward and glared at me as he licked his lips. I couldn’t ignore him though, because that tingling between my legs had come back again. I was relieved when the waitress came back with our drinks, so much so that I took a huge sip of my wine as soon as it was in my hand; to help take the edge off. Wayne chuckled as he took a swig of his cognac then sat back in his chair to stare at me. His eye washed over me hot and fast like molten lava, and reignited that fire inside of me.
“You are something else Yasmine, you know that? I find you very interesting among other things. What’s really intriguing is your drive and the fact that you hate to fail at anything. Is that because of Alvin?” Wayne asked which changed my mood in just a matter of seconds.
Any time Alvin was mentioned to me or in my presence I got this knot in the pit of my stomach and I felt as if I couldn’t breathe. That man had hurt me so much, just the thought of failing at something else or to lose something I loved was enough drive to make me go hard every day. I sat there for a minute and thought about whether or not I should go there with Wayne as I got nervously quiet for a second. I could see his mind as it moved and he thought about the right words to say just like I had done.
“It’s okay Yass, if you don’t want to talk about that. Sorry that I asked.” Wayne said as I waved him off and decided to open up freely for once.
Before I knew it I had opened my mouth and let the whole ugly truth spill out. I talked with passion and love at times, but mostly the ghetto girl from the block Yass spoke with malice and regret. I didn’t realize it but the entire time I told Wayne about my pain, I gulped my wine as tears fell from my eyes. By the time my story was over my glass was empty and Wayne had leaned acr
oss the table to wiped away my tears. I tucked away my emotions and got myself together as the waitress walked over to take our dinner orders. After we ordered and she had gone, Wayne got right back into our conversation; pulling me deeper into my feelings as I wondered could I have something with him.
“You know what Yasmine, that’s definitely his loss. I can’t believe he played you like that, you are a great woman. You’re beautiful, hardworking, ambitious, loving, sexy, kind, understanding, and did I mention fine as hell. That man, well excuse my language but that nigga, was a fool to let you go. I knew something was up with him though the last time I saw you two together at a restaurant downtown. I heard the whispers on the streets but I never thought the shit was true, knowing what he had at home. You have to know that was not your fault and that you deserve a man who loves you and can treat you like the queen you are. I can be that man Yasmine. I’m not asking you for forever right now, because I know where your head is at. Just give me a moment. A brief moment in time to love on you and give you the comfort you need. You don’t have to conquer the world and break yo neck to be perfect baby, because to me you already are.” Wayne said as my heart melted and I was tempted to jump on his dick right then.
I just sat there and stared at him out of words; and totally flattered as he reached over and grabbed my hand.
“I’m serious Yasmine give me a chance to be your man…or just let me give you this MAN!” Wayne said as he laughed and broke the intense moment were wrapped up in.
I laughed too as he let go of my hand and my phone vibrated on the table. I quickly picked it up and looked at my reply from Snow as Wayne sighed, and took a sip of his drink.
“BITCH YOU BETTER FUCK HIS FINE ASS OR I WILL. NOW STOP TEXTING ME BITCH AND PAY ATTENTION TO HIM BEFORE I COME SUCK HIS DICK RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. OLE SHAKY ASS. YOU’RE A SINGLE WOMAN YAYA, SO WHAT YOU SO FUCKING AFRAID OF? HAVING A GOOD TIME OR GETTING A GOOD NUT? I LOVE YOU BOO, NOW GO DO YOU!” Snow wrote in all caps.
I couldn’t help but to laugh out loud as I read the text again then glanced up at Wayne. He looked annoyed with his face all wrinkled up as I tried to read his mind, and he helped me to see exactly where his head was at.
“Uh, already cheating on me, huh? You texting your dude or something?” Wayne asked as he laughed, but I could tell he was really in his feelings.
I couldn’t understand where those thoughts came from as I went over what he asked in my mind. That kind of made me want to move towards the straight fuck side of a relationship with him and leave the unmentioned alone. The last thing I needed was another man who would control and monopolize my life to the point I didn’t know who I was again. No, all I needed from Wayne’s sensitive ass was a nut and I decided I was going to let him give it to me, so I quickly smoothed things over with him as I texted Snow back that I was on it, literally.
“Hey now mister. What is that I hear in your voice, jealousy? Ummm that’s not a good luck coming from an engaged man. Besides, I’m only texting Snow. We’re talking about your handsomeness as a matter of fact.” I said as I giggled and got Wayne back into a good mood.
I could see his shoulders relax as he sat forward and laughed while he prepared a witty reply in his mind.
“Oh, I’m gonna give you something to text her after I eat your little sexy ass alive.” Wayne said as he grabbed a breadstick off the table and bit into it with force.
We both laughed and released the slight tension that had built up as our pure animal attraction reignited. By the time our food came, Wayne and I were slight tipsy as we laughed our heads off. We ate and discussed business, life, politics, and even some of our desires. I felt so comfortable as I sat there and talked to him, I revealed secret fantasies I thought I would never say to anyone but Snow. We really bonded a lot over dinner which made me forget how mad and jealous he had gotten when he thought I was texting another man. All I could see was the handsome, intelligent brother who made me feel special and that was all I wanted to see. When our meal was done, Wayne and I sat so close at the table that my leg brushed up against his every time that I moved; and every time that happened I felt my cooder get wetter and wetter as I anticipated his touch.
“I don’t know about you Yasmine, but I’m ready for dessert.” Wayne said as the waitress walked over and asked us if we needed anything else.
I felt like I was about to burst after I ate an entire half of the Tour De Italy so I couldn’t see how Wayne wanted to eat anything else.
“No, I we’re fine lovely, just bring me the check.” Wayne said as I looked at him crazy.
“Why did you say you don’t want anything else when you just spoke about dessert?” I asked Wayne as he leaned in closer to me and stared into my eyes.
His gaze was filled with so much passion I could feel it as it pulsated through my body and went straight to my honeypot.
“I don’t want the kind of dessert they can give me. I want some Yasmine ala mode.” Wayne whispered in my ear as he laughed before he gently licked my neck and sealed the deal.
All resistance was down when his warm, wet tongue touched my skin and every nerve in my body came alive. I could barely contain myself as he kissed up my neck and breathed on the wet spots. That shit sent chills all through my body that made me quiver and forget everything that I had said. All of the professional, wait until the job is done bullshit was out of the window as Wayne continued to nibble on my neck and run his finger tip up my arm. He had me in that moment and I was ready to do whatever he wanted me to as I leaned closer to him. Suddenly a voice came on the intercom and announced it was time for our flight to board and broke our intense moment.
“Ugghhhh, wrong damn time.” I said as I smiled and pouted while I moved away from Wayne.
I couldn’t even hide my disappointment as I gathered my purse and phone and then stood up. Wayne stood up too with an amused look on his face before he paid the bill and picked up our bags.
“Don’t you worry, you beautiful little vixen. Bigg Daddy got something for you on this plane. I’m about to help you scratch something off your bucket list. Help you become a member of the mile-high club.” Wayne said as he laughed and walked over to pull me close to him with one arm.
We stood like that for a few minutes with nothing but lust between us, then he leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips like I was a precious jewel.
“Shall we Ms. Anderson.” Wayne said once he let me go and held his arm out.
I quickly looped my arm in his and replied as the waitress stood by the table and watched us with a smile on her face.
“Yes we shall Mr. Goodwin.” I said to him as we walked out of the restaurant arm in arm and boarded the plane.
Once we were in our seats in business class, I sat down and got straight to work. I pulled out my laptop and began going through evidence as I created my court notes for the next day. Wayne ordered us drinks and a small carton of vanilla ice cream as I continued to work, but paid attention to what he was doing. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye as the stewardess came back with what he ordered and he sat holding the ice-cream like it was the golden ticket. I couldn’t help but laugh to myself as I turned back to my work and concentrated on how I could get everything done while I was on the plane. I tuned Wayne out as he cursed about an email he had received and angrily wrote one back. After a few minutes there was announcement that we were at cruising altitude and we could get out of our seat again. As soon as that was said I found out what Wayne had waited so patiently for as he leaned over to whisper in my ear.
“You ready to let me love on you Yass? Ready to join the mile-high club? I can make you forget every bad thing a man has ever done to you. Just give me a chance Yass. Just give me a chance to make you feel better than you ever have before.” Wayne whispered in my ear before he stuck his tongue in my ear and caused the damn to break between my legs.
Before I could say anything or make a decision on whether I wanted to do it or not, Wayne was up on his feet with the ice cream tucked
under his shirt as he pulled me to my feet. To my surprise I didn’t resist one bit, instead I took control.
“Wait here one minute until I get in the bathroom, then you come.” I whispered in his face before I kissed him gently on the lips like he had done me.
“Oh by the way. I don’t have any panties on!” I whispered before I licked him on the face, grabbed my purse, and dashed away.
My heart raced as I walked down the aisle and all of the men turned to look at me. I spoke to a few of them and smiled at the envious women before I continued to my destination. As soon as I got into the tiny ass bathroom and closed the door I went into panic mode as I quickly stuck my hand under my dress to check how my cooder smelled. I was still fresh from my shower a few hours before but I knew I could be fresher, so I quickly took a feminine wipe out of my purse as I heard Wayne speak to people as he walked down the aisle. I quickly washed my chucha and rubbed on some Victoria Secrets lotion just as Wayne bust into the small bathroom.
As soon as he came through the door it was on as our passion exploded all over one another. Wayne grabbed me in a tight embrace and kissed me deeply as he moved his tongue around in my mouth while he removed the ice cream from his shirt. He continued to kiss me all over my face and neck as he sat the ice cream on the back of the sink and lifted me to sit on there too. I was amazed by his strength in such a tight space because I was no little girl at 5’6”, 177 pounds, with my flawless chocolate skin and big brown eyes.
