"You are so good to me," I said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
He eased back against the headboard.
"I did something I am ashamed of," he said.
"You can tell me." It can’t be that bad."
"I fucked Yaritza a few days ago. Well I didn’t technically finish. I did wear two condoms before you ask. I was rough with her and I threw her out naked."
I was in complete shock. "Why?"
"Because I was hurt. She wanted to take Kara. She tried to seduce me and I told her I was throwing her away like she threw away me and Kara. I was wrong to do it and I have been thinking about it for days."
I took a deep breath. "Would you have treated me like that if I had made you angry?"
"Of course not, I was hurt Cadence. This was the first time I had seen her since she dropped Kara off at my mother’s doorstep. That was years of anger pinned up. I didn’t mean to do it it happened and I regret it."
I took a breath.
"She knows about you. She asked who you were," he said.
"What did you say?" I was curious to know.
"I told her it was none of her business. She heard some chicken heads talking about the listening party here the first time we were actually together."
"Oh I see."
"Don’t be mad, please?"
"I’m not mad, but you do need to apologize to her. She can make this more difficult." I grabbed his face.
"Don’t you dare come to me like that. If you do I will rain holy terror on you."
He laughed. "I would never do that to you."
"Pinky promise," I held out my pinky. He looked shaking his head. He hooked his pinky into mine.
"Pinky promise," he said kissing my pinky. I shared my pasta with him until we both fell into a silence. It was nice to have him here and all to myself.
"You know we broke the rules," I said moving the tray and putting my head on his chest. I was so full I was ready to go back to bed.
"Rule or rules?"
I looked at him. "You came to my house, you had sex for free, you didn’t call to make an appointment, you have my personal number should I go on?"
"First of all Ms. Thang, I did call and made an appointment for not just one but two nights starting today so I have paid for services rendered."
I grabbed my phone.
"I asked you if you wanted to meet up, you told me to come over and gave me the address. I will admit I broke the phone rule, but you answered and it was one of the best decisions of your life admit it."
I hit him on the chest. I looked at the phone and sure enough I had a text from the call center that he was coming. How was that?
"How did you do it?"
"I had just finished my reservation when you answered the door."
I shook my head.
"So actually I only broke one rule the phone, you broke the meeting at the house rule. If you report me, I will report you, the best thing to do is not say anything."
"How do I know you won’t tell?" I said looking up at him as he eased my body on top of him.
"I think we should seal it with a kiss," he said with that devilish smile.
"Wait what happened to my dessert?"
He looked at me, "it’s right here," and he kissed me. Those butterflies began to start in my tummy.
"You can have as much as you want," he said before the gates of passion released it’s fury.
..
It was Sunday morning and we had just gotten dressed. We were headed to Cafe Du Monde for beignets. After eating we walked the French Market and took a ride by carriage up and down the French Quarters.
We had taken pictures at the cathedral and danced to the tunes of musicians playing on the streets. Dancers and mimes paraded up and down the streets. He even stopped and spoke to a musician about doing some work for him.
We walked and just enjoyed each others company. We would stop every now and again and kiss or hold hands, there were no strings attached. We were just two people enjoying the city.
"Want to take the riverboat cruise. We could have lunch then hit the aquarium, what do you think?" He asked.
"Sounds good." So we headed down to the river. He paid for the tickets as I offered to buy lunch.
We boarded as the captain came out and greeted us. The hostess had gotten us a private table in the back. We ate, talked and laughed. We just really enjoyed being with one another.
He took my hand and drew imaginary circles on it. "I am having a blast what about you?"
I blushed. "I am having the time of my life." He leaned over and kissed me. The photographer stopped at the table and took our picture. Evan paid for the picture and put it in his wallet.
"Now when I think about you I can see your face whenever I want," he said.
"Awe, that’s so cute," I said.
We finished lunch and we headed to the aquarium. We laughed and joked around. It was fun. We later went to the New Orleans Center where he bought me a birthstone ring, I had fallen in love with. He was slicked he bought it while I was in the dressing room at Prada and gave it to me as we shared a piece of cheesecake.
"You know you didn’t have to buy me this," I said looking at the ring.
"You didn’t have to buy me a dress shirt," he said.
"I had to. I felt bad popping your buttons off last night." He laughed as he put the bags in the car.
The ride in the Aston Martin was relaxing. So relaxing I fell asleep.
