next to the bitch that she knew for sure didn’t like her and be like, “Hey girl,” because that’s the type of shit she does.
“What you want, Candice?” I asked her.
“I’m calling to see how everything is going. Onijae done came home yet?”
“You think I would be answering the phone if he was?” I told her.
“Point taken,” she said, laughing. “So how is everything? You did it just like I told you to, huh?”
“Yes and everything is fine. If I wasn’t running around like a chicken with my head cut off, I’d send you a picture,” I said, pulling the string up out of my ass. That’s why I rarely wore shit like this.
“No need to. If you did everything I told you to, I already know how it looks,” she boasted.
“Ol’ cocky ass,” I told her, laughing. I was about to say something when I heard the garage door opening. “Oh bitch, I have to go. My man is home!”
“Okay now, don’t go making any babies tonight, I’m too young to be an aunt,” she said, laughing.
“Girl, shut your ass up. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
“All right now, have fun and make sure you do everything I tell you to,” she said before I hung up on her. I don’t know why, but I was a ball of nerves. It was funny how I’ve been with this man for years and yet, I still get butterflies whenever he’s around.
Quickly moving, I hurried up and scrolled to my music and chose R. Kelly’s 12 Play album, before I plugged the phone up to my speaker. I then grabbed the single rose, placed it in my mouth and sat down with my legs open. I couldn’t wait to see the expression on his face when he walked through the door. I hope he likes this, because I plan to do something good to him later on.

Chapter 5
Onijae
It was almost nine o’clock at night when I pulled up to my house. I had no intentions on staying over at my parents’ house that long, but once we started having fun, the time just flew by. In fact, if my parents didn’t have to wake up for church in the morning, we’d probably still be sitting at the table right now, clowning and having a good time. Shit, I almost didn’t want to leave, but I knew I had to come home to Bianca.
After parking the car into the garage, I grabbed the plate that my father had sent over for her and got out. I noticed that the house was a bit dark, so most likely, she was probably in there sleeping. I hoped she won’t be too mad about me coming home late.
Opening the door, I was momentarily frozen at the sight before me. Sitting on the table was a candlelight dinner, set for two. Even though I wasn’t hungry, whatever she had cooked smelled good as fuck. Placing the plate on a table in the hallway, I began walking into the kitchen. When I rounded the corner, I was stunned the moment my eyes landed on Bianca. She was sitting in a chair, at the kitchen table, with a single rose in her mouth and her legs wide open. She looked so different that I almost didn’t recognize her.
“What’s all this about?” I asked her.
“I just wanted to do something special for my man,” she said, getting up from the chair. She then walked over to me and handed me the rose. “I love you, Onijae.”
“I love you too, baby,” I said, placing a kiss on her lips. Her lips tasted so good that I pulled her in to deepen the kiss.
“Slow your roll. We’ll have enough time to do that later on. Come on and follow me,” she said, pulling back. Grabbing my hand, she let me over to a seat by the table. “You can sit down, while I go get your plate from the kitchen.” She disappeared into the kitchen. I took a seat and waited for her to come back.
A few minutes later, she returned with a plate in her hand and a bottle in another. She sat the plate and bottle in front of me and walked back into the kitchen. A few seconds later, she returned with a plate of her own and sat across from me. I couldn’t lie and say that I wasn’t stuck, because I was. I had no Idea why she was
