Should Have Kissed You at the Park
You Are NOT Him
Tammy POV
“J wake up” I yelled up the stairs. Justin was still sleep and it was already 11:30. Taylor and Chris would be here in a few hours for dinner, and Justin was still sleeping.
I had gotten up so that I could get all the ingredients out for the brisket. Justin decided to put a brisket on the pit and I was going to make some baked beans and pasta salad. He asked Taylor and Chris to come by an hour earlier than the rest of the family so that we could all go over some ideas for the club to generate more revenue, not that the club was doing bad or anything, but we wanted to give it a little more variety. We wanted to be able to serve different crowds throughout the week, become the place to be on any given night in the city.
I did some straightening up around the house before going upstairs to make sure that Justin was awake. Justin and I had been together for almost 2 years and we had just gotten our house about 9 months ago. When Taylor moved back to town, her and Matthew stayed with us for a few months until she closed on her house. The Martins weren’t a real family, but each child had their trust fund which the had access to when they turned 21. All four of them had their own house. She helped me to unpack the house and get it all set up. We got a chance to really get close while she was staying with us, so close in fact I think of her as more like my sister than a friend. Hopefully one day she will be my sister. I trekked up the stairs to see if Justin had even heard me when I told him to get up, and just as I thought, he was still laying in the bed. I walked around to the bed to wake him up.
“Babe, get up, we gotta start cooking” I gently shook him
“Come back to bed baby, we can get things cooking in here” he smiled in his sleep putting his arm around my waist and pulling me down onto the bed
“Mmm, that does sound good, but babe it’s already 11:30, and Tay and Chris will be here in a few hours” I smiled kissing his cheek
“They might be late, you know they got that new love, they all lovey dovey and stuff” he mumbled kissing my neck.
“True, but you know how long it takes you to cook” I laughed untangling myself from his grip and getting out of bed then pulling him up by his arm.
“Fiinnee, I’ll get up, but they won’t be here on time” he grunted getting out of the bed
“Whateva, just go take your shower and get ready” I replied pecking his lips before walking out the room.
I walked back down the stairs to go season the brisket while Justin took his shower and got ready. I took out the hot dog wieners so they could thaw out for the kids to eat. I have to admit, I was kinda excited, it was the 1st time that the family had been to the house. My sister Melissa was even coming over for the 1st time too. I probably should have invited a single guy to come since everybody else was going to be coupled up. I just hope that her and Taylor it off, I’m sure they will though.
Where my girls at, From the front to back, Well is you feelin' that,
Put one hand up, Can you repeat that
My phone rang playing Taylor’s ringtone. I gave her that ringtone because she always has my back and will slap a bitch in a minute if you cross her.
“Hey girl” I answered the phone
“Hey, whatcha up to?” she asked
“Girl, nothing, trying to get your brother up so he can come cook” I laughed taking a seat in the oversized chair across from the couch, swinging my legs over the arm of the chair
“Good luck. He needs to get his ass up, I’m gonna be ready to eat when I get there” she laughed
“Girl, you know it took some work, but he’s in the shower now. What’s up? WAIT, why are you calling me, shouldn’t you and Chris be busy doing it” I laughed
“Shut up T, he’s taking a nap. He got up and made me breakfast this morning, so he’s taking a nap.”
“Probably because your ass put him to bed” I laughed
“Yeah I did” she replied, I could hear her snapping her fingers on the other end
“So, for real what’s up?” I asked
“Oh nothing, did ya’ll need me to bring anything?”
“Nope, I think we got it covered” I said looking into the kitchen thinking if there was anything I needed her to bring
“Well, what’s for dessert then” she asked
“Damn, I forgot about dessert. Ummmm, let me think” I said
“Well, I can make a German Chocolate cake if you want me too. I’ll just make it when I get to your house since we’re coming earlier than everybody else” she offered
“Oooo that sounds good Tay, thanks”
“Girl it’s no problem. So is the whole family coming?” she asked
“Yeah, everybody but DJ he’s got a meeting with the Falcons, he said that he’s going to try to come by when he’s done, but Angie is bringing the kids. Oh and I invited my sister Melissa. I think the 2 of you will get along great, well 3 of you counting Syd” I chuckled
“Oh ok, cool. I can’t wait to meet her then. I talked to Donovan a few minutes ago, so he’s going to drop Matthew off at mom and dad’s house, and they’re going to bring him with they come” she started
“Oh really? SO have you told him about you and Chris yet?” I inquired. I know Taylor and Donovan are cordial to one another on the count of Matthew, but I also know their history too.
“No, not yet, and if you ask me, it’s really none of his business. Me and him are NOT together and we’re NEVER getting back together, so it’s of no concern to him, you know what I mean?” she finished
“Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Plus, Chris has your back if Donovan even tried to jump stupid with you” I chuckled
“Yeah I know right. Speaking of, Chris asked about me and Donovan today”
“Really? What you tell him?” I was shocked that he asked
“I told him the truth, the whole story. I didn’t want to lie to him about it, it happened, I’m not really ashamed of it, it just taught me what I DON’T want in a man” she said simply
“Well, I just have to ask, and don’t get mad; but after going through all of that with Donovan, and given Chris’s history, aren’t you a lil afraid that you’re getting back into the same thing?” I asked cautiously, hoping that she didn’t get mad or take it the wrong way.
“You know I was wondering when someone was going to ask me that?” she started calmly “But you know what sis, me and him have had that conversation, and he told me the WHOLE story, the one that everybody else wants to know, and I can honestly say, I’m not worried about him being anything like Donovan” she finished, her voice full of relief.
“I’m glad. You know I only asked because I love you and I worry about you?”
“Yeah I know T, it’s all good, I love you too. You’re fam and I know you’re just looking out for me” she was smiling into the phone. “Stop Chris!” she giggled into the phone
“On that note, I’m going to go, sounds like ya’ll are about to get started again” I laughed
“Oh hey, I’m going to call Carmen about doing my hair tomorrow, you want me to make you an appointment too?” she asked before hanging up the phone. Carmen is our hairdresser, she’s a beast too, she’s been friends with Taylor for awhile so when she moved back to town, she introduced me to her, and Carmen’s been doing my hair since.
“Yeah, please do!” I replied running my hand through my hair
“Ok cool. I gotta go, Chris is throwing pillows at me and I need to beat his ass real quick before we get ready to head that way. So don’t be surprised if he has a black eye when we get there” she laughed
“Ok, bye silly, have fuuunn” I sang into the phone before hanging up.
I pushed myself up out the over sized chair just as Justin came down the stairs.
“Hey sleepy head” I smiled as he walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, I snaked my arms around his neck then pecked his lips
“Hey sexy” he smiled back “Who were you talking to?” he asked as he pulled away from me and headed to the kitchen
“Oh that was Tay. She called to see if we needed anything. She’s going to make a German Chocolate cake when they get here in a little while” I replied following him into the kitchen
“Oh cool, Taylor bakes like mama, hell she cooks like mama, a little bit better than Sydney, but don’t tell Syd I said that” he laughed pulling the brisket out of the refrigerator where it had been marinating all night.
“Yeah, I’ll keep that one to myself, because Syd will kick your ass if she knew you said that” I laughed “Well, she also told me that she told Chris the whole story about her and Donovan” I finished as Justin looked up at me in shock
“REALLY?!? Did she say how that went? How did he take it?” he asked preparing to go get the pit started
“Well, she said she was glad that she told him and that he completely understood. From the sounds of them playing when we got off the phone everything was okay, but you know Tay, she doesn’t like to tell you everything right up front” I finished
“Yeah, I know how she is. I’ll talk to him later on and see what he thinks about it. I’ll probably talk to him when Pops and Keith get here, since they know the whole story too.” Justin replied handing me the matches before and opening our back door to go into the back yard
“Yeah, that might be a good idea. Oh yeah, she said that your mom and dad are bringing Matty with them, Donovan’s dropping him off at their house. I’m going to get started on the pasta salad, now that you’re up and cooking” I replied pecking his lips
“Oh ok, that’s fine. Yeah, you go get started on the pasta salad, I’ll get this started and then maybe we can meet upstairs for a lil while before everyone gets here” he smirked licking his lips
“Mmmm, that sounds like a plan then” I smiled back
JUSTIN POV
I got the grill started and put the brisket on it so it could slow cook, then went in the kitchen where Tammy had just put on the pasta for the salad. I washed my hands, dried them and wrapped my arms around her waist, and softly kissed the crock of her neck.
“What are you doing?” she whispered
“Mmmm, nothing” I smiled nibbling on her ear
“Well, lets see what we can get into upstairs” she said taking my hand and slowly leading me towards the stair case.
When we reached the staircase, I stopped and quickly pulled her to me. I leaned over and grabbed her knees and threw her over my shoulder and headed up the stairs.
“Justin, put me down silly” she laughed as she hit my butt with every word.
“Ok, I’ll put you down” I laughed as we approached the bed, and I laid her down. She looked up at me biting her bottom lip and I licked my lips. I unbuckled my pants as she scooted herself back up on the bed on her elbows. I leaned over and kissed her neck as she laid back on her back. I trailed kisses from her neck to her jaw, meeting her soft lips. I ran my hands up her torso sliding her shirt up and off over her head. Kissing my way down her chest, I slid my hand under her back and unsnapped her bra, taking it off to expose her beautiful breast. I kissed each one softly as I continued kissing down her stomach to her waist, to her pelvis, slowing pulling off her pants, while she ran her nails up and down my back. I kissed her pelvis, making my way back up to her chest, I came out of my boxers. As I kissed my way back up her torso, she slowly opened her legs for me to rest between. As I reached her neck, I slowly entered her wet center as she let out a soft moan in my hear, caressing the back of my head. I slowly moved in and out, as she moved her body with mine, softly moaning my name with each stroke I looked in her eyes as she bit her bottom lip in pleasure. I slowly started to speed up with every stroke as she begin to moan a little louder digging her nails into my back. I thrust myself into her one last time as we both reached our climax together. My body fell weak against hers as she wrapped her legs around my waist and I rested my head on her shoulder. I kissed her neck softly.
“I love you” I whispered in her ear.
“I love you too” she replied kissing my neck.
I gently pulled out of her and rolled over to lay next to her. Tammy scooted over and laid her head on my chest, I leaned over and kissed her hair. We laid there in the quiet for a few minutes before even moving. I have to admit I loved when he snuck in a quickie before anybody came over or before we left to go somewhere.
“C’mon babe, we gotta get up. You got the meat on the pit, and I know Taylor and Chris will be here before long” Tammy said sitting up and pulling my arm to left me so that I was sitting up. Once I was sitting up, she leaned over and pecked my lips then she headed for the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, she went into the closet and pulled out some clothes to wear. She put on a black t-shirt, some jeans, and some black Vans with some silver loop earrings and a silver heart necklace that I gave her for her birthday a few months ago outfit. Her and Taylor had a thing for Vans, me personally I prefer J’s. Tammy’s personality was much like Taylor’s very calm and laid back, but if you cross her, she’ll stomp a whole in your ass, I guess that’s why I loved her so much. She was my ride or die chick! When she finished in the bathroom, I went in and freshened up, throwing on some plaid shorts and shirt with believe it or not some Vans . I do own a few pair of them. I went downstairs and checked on the brisket smoking on the pit. Tammy was right, Tay and Chris would be here before we knew it. I had a few things in mind concerning the club that I wanted to put out on the table and I couldn’t wait to be able to get them out of my head.
CHRIS POV
“Yeah I know right. Speaking of, Chris asked about me and Donovan today” I heard Taylor say. I could tell she was on the phone even though my back was to her. I decided not to pretend to be sleep just so that I could eavesdrop, not because I don’t trust Taylor, because to be truthfully honest, I trust her with the most important part of me, my heart which is my life. I was just being nosey to be truthfully honest. I wasn’t sure who she was talking to, but if I listened long enough, I’d find out.
“I told him the truth, the whole story. I didn’t want to lie to him about it, it happened, I’m not really ashamed of it, it just taught me what I DON’T want in a man” she said simply. Ok well now I know what she’s talking about, but who is she talking to? I figured I stay still for just a few more minutes.
“You know I was wondering when someone was going to ask me that?” she started calmly “But you know what sis, me and him have had that conversation, and he told me the WHOLE story, the one that everybody else wants to know, and I can honestly say, I’m not worried about him being anything like Donovan” she finished. Ok so she’s either talking to Tammy or Sydney. Were they doubting me? Was her family worried that I would physically hurt her? Are you serious? I thought they were happy for us. Justin, Taylor, and my mom are the ONLY people outside of me and Rihanna that knew EXACTLY what happened. I guess I could understand their concern, especially given all that she went through with that asshole of an ex, but I would NEVER do her like that. I want to protect her from anymore hurt and pain. I decided to get up. I rolled over to see her sitting in the bay window that over looked the front yard, holding her stuffed panda in her arms. I walked over to her and kissed her forehead, then headed to the half bath under the stairs. I used the bathroom, washed my hands and came out.
“Yeah I know T, it’s all good, I love you too. You’re fam and I know you’re just looking out for me” she said with a smile. Ok she was talking to Tammy. Since the room was filled with so much seriousness not only from the conversation that me and her had had an hour or so earlier, but from the one that she was just having on the phone with Tammy, I decided to lighten the mood. I picked up one of the throw pillows and tossed it at her. The pillow bounced off her head.
“Stop Chris!” she giggled into the phone. I laughed and tossed another smaller pillow in her direction as she held up her foot to block it. She grabbed one of the pillows I threw at her and threw it back at me. I caught it in my hands and threw it back in her direction as she got up from her seat, I plopped down on the couch, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. She was still talking to Tammy, but I paid no attention to what was being said.
“Ok cool. I gotta go, Chris is throwing pillows at me and I need to beat his ass real quick before we get ready to head that way. So don’t be surprised if he has a black eye when we get there” she laughed taking a seat in the corner of the couch and playfully hitting me with one of the pillows that I had tossed at her earlier, making me laugh. I grabbed her feet and held them with one hand, while I tickled them with the other hand.
“Chrriiisss, stooopp” she laughed and squirmed, hanging up the phone and putting it on the coffee table.
“Nope” I laughed scooting closer to her, still tickling her feet
“C’mon baby please?” she begged through her laughter
“Not until you say uncle” I laughed
“Ok, Ok, UNCLE” she screamed. I stopped tickling her and kissed the top of her foot, then laying it down on my lap and slowly started to massage it. She playfully kicked me on the side of my butt with her free foot
“Punk” she laughed
“Whatever, I can show you otherwise” I winked
“Whatever” she playfully rolled her eyes at me.
“Babe, can I ask you something?” I said, my smile slowly fading and my tone turning a lil more serious
“Yeah baby, what’s on your mind” she said pulling her bear close to her chest and inhaling it’s scent
“Are you scared of me?” I asked not wanting to even look in her direction, scared of what her eyes may say. Scared that she would actually say yes, and if she did what was I gonna do. I never want her to be scared of me, but I also never wanted to be without her either.
She quickly scooted up in her spot on the corner, causing her foot to quickly slide out of my hands. She got off the couch, stood up between my legs, then sat on my lap. She took my face in her hands and looked me dead in my eyes.
“Chris, what happened that night was you defending yourself. I know it was a mistake and that you would never hurt me. You’re a kind hearted loving person. No baby, I’m not scared of you. You are EVERYTHING that I want in a man. I’m not scared of you, I just love your big head ass Chris” she smiled with that last sentence, making me smile
“I just never want you to be scared of me or that I would hurt you like Donovan” I replied wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her close to me, so close that we looked almost like a chair.
“Baby, you are NOTHING like Donovan. You took the time to be my friend before we got together. You took the time to get to know me for me, and in the process of us being friends, I fell in love. A real true honest love, not with the idea of us, or with CHRIS BROWN, I got to know CHRISTOPHER, and that’s who I fell in love with” she smiled
I didn’t say anything, I leaned in and allowed my lips to meet hers as we entered into a passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I put one arm under her knees and with the other one around her waist, I lifted us off the couch and carried her into the bedroom. She pulled out of our kiss and smiled at me. As we walked I gently laid her on the bed I gave her quick peck on the lips, then with a wink I set up and went into the closet.
“Tease” she laughed throwing my pillow at me.
“What?” I shrugged my shoulders trying to sound innocent
“You know what! How you just gonna kiss me like that, then leave me hanging?” she laughed scooting off the bed.
“Well, baby, you know once we get started, we can go all day. We have to get ready, we’ve got to be at J’s in about an hour, and you know it takes you forever to get dressed” I laughed pulling out some shorts and a red plaid shirt to wear.
“Whatever” she called from the bathroom. “I’m jumping in the shower now, I’ll be ready in like 30 minutes” she said turning the shower on.
“Wait for me” I yelled, lightly jogged from the closet to the bathroom, just as she was taking her shirt off. I smiled a devilish grin her way.
“Stop, you just said it takes me forever, if you get in this shower playing we’ll never make it there” she smiled holding her hand up to keep me away slowly backing up as I slowly walked her way. I reached out and grabbed her hand and quickly pulled her to me, wrapping my hand around her waist I gave her the look. The look that I knew she couldn’t resist
“FINE, but we’re just showering this time, we can finish when we get home” she smiled tipping up on her toes to kiss me. “I hate when you pull out the puppy dog eyes on me” she smiled
We got in the shower, and actually just showered. Don’t get me wrong, I am a man, so there was to touching and feeling going on, a WHOLE lot of kissing and flirting, but that was it.. Taylor turned off the water, and we got out the shower. I wrapped a towel around my waist, kissed her neck and went to the bedroom to get dressed. I put on the shorts, red and black plaid shirt and my red Vans that I had taken out the closet before getting in the shower. When I finished getting dressed I went in the kitchen to get a drink. BUZZZ BUZZZ BUZZZ, my phone went off in my pocket. Just by the vibrations, I could tell who it was. I pulled my phone out my pocket, glanced at the LCD, then answered
“Hey ma” I smiled into the phone
“Hey baby, did I disturb you?” she asked
“No, what’s up?”
“Nothing, I just haven’t heard from you, thought I’d check up on you, that’s all. I can do that can’t I” she chuckled
“Of course you can” I said sarcastically
“Don’t get smart with me boy! What you doing today?” she laughed
“Oh nothing really, just going to hang out at J’s house with Taylor. Justin invited us to dinner” I replied
“Oh ok. So you and Taylor are getting serious huh?” I could tell she was smiling on the other end. She’s met Taylor’s family before when they invited her to dinner one time that she was in town visiting, but Taylor wasn’t there. So she has yet to meet her.
“Yeah, I guess we are mama. I’m crazy about this girl. She’s not like any other girl I’ve met” a smile on my face as it always is when I talk or even think about Taylor
“Well, I’m glad to hear that son. You deserve to be happy, and if Taylor makes you happy, then that’s all that matters. I can’t wait to meet her” she replied in her soft sweet tone
“I can’t wait for you to meet her too. I miss you ma. How’s Tootie and DeShawn?” I asked of my sister and nephew
“They’re good. DeShawn is on his way over in a few minutes. You need to call Tootie, I think that would definitely make her day” she half way scolded me.
“Yeah, I need to call her. I’ll give her a call later on tonight” I told
“Well, I was thinking about coming down next weekend to visit. Do you have any plans?” she asked
“No, I don’t. That would be great if you could come down to visit” I said. I have to admit I was excited like a kid on Christmas morning about my mom coming to visit.
“Ok, well, I tell you what, I’ll call you later this week, probably tomorrow with the details”
“Ok cool. I look forward to seeing you, and you meeting Tay” I smiled
“I look forward to seeing you to, and I can’t wait to meet Taylor. Tell her I said hi and I’ll see you guys next week” mama said
“Ok I will. I love you mama” I replied just as Taylor walked up behind me wrapping her arms around my torso.
“I love you to baby, I’ll talk to you later” she said before hanging up.
I hung up my phone and slid it back in my pocket before turning around to wrap my arms around my girl. I turned around to get a good look at her. She looked incredible in just some black jeans, a tank top with pink lips on it and her black and pink J’soutfit. He hair was still damp from our shower, she had just pulled her wet hair into a ponytail which was starting to make soft loose curls as it dried.
“WHAT?” she smiled
“You know I love it when you wear your J’s” I smiled licking my lips
“Boi, come on, lets go” she smiled taking my hand and leading to the garage.
“J wake up” I yelled up the stairs. Justin was still sleep and it was already 11:30. Taylor and Chris would be here in a few hours for dinner, and Justin was still sleeping.
I had gotten up so that I could get all the ingredients out for the brisket. Justin decided to put a brisket on the pit and I was going to make some baked beans and pasta salad. He asked Taylor and Chris to come by an hour earlier than the rest of the family so that we could all go over some ideas for the club to generate more revenue, not that the club was doing bad or anything, but we wanted to give it a little more variety. We wanted to be able to serve different crowds throughout the week, become the place to be on any given night in the city.
I did some straightening up around the house before going upstairs to make sure that Justin was awake. Justin and I had been together for almost 2 years and we had just gotten our house about 9 months ago. When Taylor moved back to town, her and Matthew stayed with us for a few months until she closed on her house. The Martins weren’t a real family, but each child had their trust fund which the had access to when they turned 21. All four of them had their own house.

I walked around to the bed to wake him up.
“Babe, get up, we gotta start cooking” I gently shook him
“Come back to bed baby, we can get things cooking in here” he smiled in his sleep putting his arm around my waist and pulling me down onto the bed
“Mmm, that does sound good, but babe it’s already 11:30, and Tay and Chris will be here in a few hours” I smiled kissing his cheek
“They might be late, you know they got that new love, they all lovey dovey and stuff” he mumbled kissing my neck.
“True, but you know how long it takes you to cook” I laughed untangling myself from his grip and getting out of bed then pulling him up by his arm.
“Fiinnee, I’ll get up, but they won’t be here on time” he grunted getting out of the bed
“Whateva, just go take your shower and get ready” I replied pecking his lips before walking out the room.
I walked back down the stairs to go season the brisket while Justin took his shower and got ready. I took out the hot dog wieners so they could thaw out for the kids to eat. I have to admit, I was kinda excited, it was the 1st time that the family had been to the house. My sister Melissa was even coming over for the 1st time too. I probably should have invited a single guy to come since everybody else was going to be coupled up. I just hope that her and Taylor it off, I’m sure they will though.

“Hey, whatcha up to?” she asked
“Girl, nothing, trying to get your brother up so he can come cook” I laughed taking a seat in the oversized chair across from the couch, swinging my legs over the arm of the chair
“Good luck. He needs to get his ass up, I’m gonna be ready to eat when I get there” she laughed
“Girl, you know it took some work, but he’s in the shower now. What’s up? WAIT, why are you calling me, shouldn’t you and Chris be busy doing it” I laughed
“Shut up T, he’s taking a nap. He got up and made me breakfast this morning, so he’s taking a nap.”
“Probably because your ass put him to bed” I laughed
“Yeah I did” she replied, I could hear her snapping her fingers on the other end
“So, for real what’s up?” I asked
“Oh nothing, did ya’ll need me to bring anything?”

“Oh ok, cool. I can’t wait to meet her then. I talked to Donovan a few minutes ago, so he’s going to drop Matthew off at mom and dad’s house, and they’re going to bring him with they come” she started

Carmen is our hairdresser, she’s a beast too, she’s been friends with Taylor for awhile so when she moved back to town, she introduced me to her, and Carmen’s been doing my hair since.
“Yeah, please do!” I replied running my hand through my hair
“Ok cool. I gotta go, Chris is throwing pillows at me and I need to beat his ass real quick before we get ready to head that way. So don’t be surprised if he has a black eye when we get there” she laughed
“Ok, bye silly, have fuuunn” I sang into the phone before hanging up.
I pushed myself up out the over sized chair just as Justin came down the stairs.
“Hey sleepy head” I smiled as he walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, I snaked my arms around his neck then pecked his lips
“Hey sexy” he smiled back “Who were you talking to?” he asked as he pulled away from me and headed to the kitchen
“Oh that was Tay. She called to see if we needed anything. She’s going to make a German Chocolate cake when they get here in a little while” I replied following him into the kitchen
“Oh cool, Taylor bakes like mama, hell she cooks like mama, a little bit better than Sydney, but don’t tell Syd I said that” he laughed pulling the brisket out of the refrigerator where it had been marinating all night.
“Yeah, I’ll keep that one to myself, because Syd will kick your ass if she knew you said that” I laughed “Well, she also told me that she told Chris the whole story about her and Donovan” I finished as Justin looked up at me in shock
“REALLY?!? Did she say how that went? How did he take it?” he asked preparing to go get the pit started
“Well, she said she was glad that she told him and that he completely understood. From the sounds of them playing when we got off the phone everything was okay, but you know Tay, she doesn’t like to tell you everything right up front” I finished
“Yeah, I know how she is. I’ll talk to him later on and see what he thinks about it. I’ll probably talk to him when Pops and Keith get here, since they know the whole story too.” Justin replied handing me the matches before and opening our back door to go into the back yard
“Yeah, that might be a good idea. Oh yeah, she said that your mom and dad are bringing Matty with them, Donovan’s dropping him off at their house. I’m going to get started on the pasta salad, now that you’re up and cooking” I replied pecking his lips
“Oh ok, that’s fine. Yeah, you go get started on the pasta salad, I’ll get this started and then maybe we can meet upstairs for a lil while before everyone gets here” he smirked licking his lips
“Mmmm, that sounds like a plan then” I smiled back
JUSTIN POV
I got the grill started and put the brisket on it so it could slow cook, then went in the kitchen where Tammy had just put on the pasta for the salad. I washed my hands, dried them and wrapped my arms around her waist, and softly kissed the crock of her neck.
“What are you doing?” she whispered
“Mmmm, nothing” I smiled nibbling on her ear
“Well, lets see what we can get into upstairs” she said taking my hand and slowly leading me towards the stair case.
When we reached the staircase, I stopped and quickly pulled her to me. I leaned over and grabbed her knees and threw her over my shoulder and headed up the stairs.
“Justin, put me down silly” she laughed as she hit my butt with every word.
“Ok, I’ll put you down” I laughed as we approached the bed, and I laid her down. She looked up at me biting her bottom lip and I licked my lips. I unbuckled my pants as she scooted herself back up on the bed on her elbows. I leaned over and kissed her neck as she laid back on her back. I trailed kisses from her neck to her jaw, meeting her soft lips. I ran my hands up her torso sliding her shirt up and off over her head. Kissing my way down her chest, I slid my hand under her back and unsnapped her bra, taking it off to expose her beautiful breast. I kissed each one softly as I continued kissing down her stomach to her waist, to her pelvis, slowing pulling off her pants, while she ran her nails up and down my back. I kissed her pelvis, making my way back up to her chest, I came out of my boxers. As I kissed my way back up her torso, she slowly opened her legs for me to rest between. As I reached her neck, I slowly entered her wet center as she let out a soft moan in my hear, caressing the back of my head. I slowly moved in and out, as she moved her body with mine, softly moaning my name with each stroke I looked in her eyes as she bit her bottom lip in pleasure. I slowly started to speed up with every stroke as she begin to moan a little louder digging her nails into my back. I thrust myself into her one last time as we both reached our climax together. My body fell weak against hers as she wrapped her legs around my waist and I rested my head on her shoulder. I kissed her neck softly.
“I love you” I whispered in her ear.
“I love you too” she replied kissing my neck.
I gently pulled out of her and rolled over to lay next to her. Tammy scooted over and laid her head on my chest, I leaned over and kissed her hair. We laid there in the quiet for a few minutes before even moving. I have to admit I loved when he snuck in a quickie before anybody came over or before we left to go somewhere.
“C’mon babe, we gotta get up. You got the meat on the pit, and I know Taylor and Chris will be here before long” Tammy said sitting up and pulling my arm to left me so that I was sitting up. Once I was sitting up, she leaned over and pecked my lips then she headed for the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, she went into the closet and pulled out some clothes to wear. She put on a black t-shirt, some jeans, and some black Vans with some silver loop earrings and a silver heart necklace that I gave her for her birthday a few months ago outfit. Her and Taylor had a thing for Vans, me personally I prefer J’s. Tammy’s personality was much like Taylor’s very calm and laid back, but if you cross her, she’ll stomp a whole in your ass, I guess that’s why I loved her so much. She was my ride or die chick! When she finished in the bathroom, I went in and freshened up, throwing on some plaid shorts and shirt with believe it or not some Vans . I do own a few pair of them. I went downstairs and checked on the brisket smoking on the pit. Tammy was right, Tay and Chris would be here before we knew it. I had a few things in mind concerning the club that I wanted to put out on the table and I couldn’t wait to be able to get them out of my head.
CHRIS POV
“Yeah I know right. Speaking of, Chris asked about me and Donovan today” I heard Taylor say. I could tell she was on the phone even though my back was to her. I decided not to pretend to be sleep just so that I could eavesdrop, not because I don’t trust Taylor, because to be truthfully honest, I trust her with the most important part of me, my heart which is my life. I was just being nosey to be truthfully honest. I wasn’t sure who she was talking to, but if I listened long enough, I’d find out.
“I told him the truth, the whole story. I didn’t want to lie to him about it, it happened, I’m not really ashamed of it, it just taught me what I DON’T want in a man” she said simply. Ok well now I know what she’s talking about, but who is she talking to? I figured I stay still for just a few more minutes.
“You know I was wondering when someone was going to ask me that?” she started calmly “But you know what sis, me and him have had that conversation, and he told me the WHOLE story, the one that everybody else wants to know, and I can honestly say, I’m not worried about him being anything like Donovan” she finished. Ok so she’s either talking to Tammy or Sydney. Were they doubting me? Was her family worried that I would physically hurt her? Are you serious? I thought they were happy for us. Justin, Taylor, and my mom are the ONLY people outside of me and Rihanna that knew EXACTLY what happened. I guess I could understand their concern, especially given all that she went through with that asshole of an ex, but I would NEVER do her like that. I want to protect her from anymore hurt and pain. I decided to get up. I rolled over to see her sitting in the bay window that over looked the front yard, holding her stuffed panda in her arms. I walked over to her and kissed her forehead, then headed to the half bath under the stairs. I used the bathroom, washed my hands and came out.
“Yeah I know T, it’s all good, I love you too. You’re fam and I know you’re just looking out for me” she said with a smile. Ok she was talking to Tammy. Since the room was filled with so much seriousness not only from the conversation that me and her had had an hour or so earlier, but from the one that she was just having on the phone with Tammy, I decided to lighten the mood. I picked up one of the throw pillows and tossed it at her. The pillow bounced off her head.
“Stop Chris!” she giggled into the phone. I laughed and tossed another smaller pillow in her direction as she held up her foot to block it. She grabbed one of the pillows I threw at her and threw it back at me. I caught it in my hands and threw it back in her direction as she got up from her seat, I plopped down on the couch, grabbing the remote and turning on the TV. She was still talking to Tammy, but I paid no attention to what was being said.
“Ok cool. I gotta go, Chris is throwing pillows at me and I need to beat his ass real quick before we get ready to head that way. So don’t be surprised if he has a black eye when we get there” she laughed taking a seat in the corner of the couch and playfully hitting me with one of the pillows that I had tossed at her earlier, making me laugh. I grabbed her feet and held them with one hand, while I tickled them with the other hand.
“Chrriiisss, stooopp” she laughed and squirmed, hanging up the phone and putting it on the coffee table.
“Nope” I laughed scooting closer to her, still tickling her feet
“C’mon baby please?” she begged through her laughter
“Not until you say uncle” I laughed
“Ok, Ok, UNCLE” she screamed. I stopped tickling her and kissed the top of her foot, then laying it down on my lap and slowly started to massage it. She playfully kicked me on the side of my butt with her free foot
“Punk” she laughed
“Whatever, I can show you otherwise” I winked
“Whatever” she playfully rolled her eyes at me.
“Babe, can I ask you something?” I said, my smile slowly fading and my tone turning a lil more serious
“Yeah baby, what’s on your mind” she said pulling her bear close to her chest and inhaling it’s scent
“Are you scared of me?” I asked not wanting to even look in her direction, scared of what her eyes may say. Scared that she would actually say yes, and if she did what was I gonna do. I never want her to be scared of me, but I also never wanted to be without her either.
She quickly scooted up in her spot on the corner, causing her foot to quickly slide out of my hands. She got off the couch, stood up between my legs, then sat on my lap. She took my face in her hands and looked me dead in my eyes.
“Chris, what happened that night was you defending yourself. I know it was a mistake and that you would never hurt me. You’re a kind hearted loving person. No baby, I’m not scared of you. You are EVERYTHING that I want in a man. I’m not scared of you, I just love your big head ass Chris” she smiled with that last sentence, making me smile
“I just never want you to be scared of me or that I would hurt you like Donovan” I replied wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her close to me, so close that we looked almost like a chair.
“Baby, you are NOTHING like Donovan. You took the time to be my friend before we got together. You took the time to get to know me for me, and in the process of us being friends, I fell in love. A real true honest love, not with the idea of us, or with CHRIS BROWN, I got to know CHRISTOPHER, and that’s who I fell in love with” she smiled
I didn’t say anything, I leaned in and allowed my lips to meet hers as we entered into a passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I put one arm under her knees and with the other one around her waist, I lifted us off the couch and carried her into the bedroom. She pulled out of our kiss and smiled at me. As we walked I gently laid her on the bed I gave her quick peck on the lips, then with a wink I set up and went into the closet.
“Tease” she laughed throwing my pillow at me.
“What?” I shrugged my shoulders trying to sound innocent
“You know what! How you just gonna kiss me like that, then leave me hanging?” she laughed scooting off the bed.
“Well, baby, you know once we get started, we can go all day. We have to get ready, we’ve got to be at J’s in about an hour, and you know it takes you forever to get dressed” I laughed pulling out some shorts and a red plaid shirt to wear.
“Whatever” she called from the bathroom. “I’m jumping in the shower now, I’ll be ready in like 30 minutes” she said turning the shower on.
“Wait for me” I yelled, lightly jogged from the closet to the bathroom, just as she was taking her shirt off. I smiled a devilish grin her way.
“Stop, you just said it takes me forever, if you get in this shower playing we’ll never make it there” she smiled holding her hand up to keep me away slowly backing up as I slowly walked her way. I reached out and grabbed her hand and quickly pulled her to me, wrapping my hand around her waist I gave her the look. The look that I knew she couldn’t resist
“FINE, but we’re just showering this time, we can finish when we get home” she smiled tipping up on her toes to kiss me. “I hate when you pull out the puppy dog eyes on me” she smiled
We got in the shower, and actually just showered. Don’t get me wrong, I am a man, so there was to touching and feeling going on, a WHOLE lot of kissing and flirting, but that was it.. Taylor turned off the water, and we got out the shower. I wrapped a towel around my waist, kissed her neck and went to the bedroom to get dressed. I put on the shorts, red and black plaid shirt and my red Vans that I had taken out the closet before getting in the shower. When I finished getting dressed I went in the kitchen to get a drink. BUZZZ BUZZZ BUZZZ, my phone went off in my pocket. Just by the vibrations, I could tell who it was. I pulled my phone out my pocket, glanced at the LCD, then answered
“Hey ma” I smiled into the phone
“Hey baby, did I disturb you?” she asked
“No, what’s up?”
“Nothing, I just haven’t heard from you, thought I’d check up on you, that’s all. I can do that can’t I” she chuckled
“Of course you can” I said sarcastically
“Don’t get smart with me boy! What you doing today?” she laughed
“Oh nothing really, just going to hang out at J’s house with Taylor. Justin invited us to dinner” I replied
“Oh ok. So you and Taylor are getting serious huh?” I could tell she was smiling on the other end. She’s met Taylor’s family before when they invited her to dinner one time that she was in town visiting, but Taylor wasn’t there. So she has yet to meet her.
“Yeah, I guess we are mama. I’m crazy about this girl. She’s not like any other girl I’ve met” a smile on my face as it always is when I talk or even think about Taylor
“Well, I’m glad to hear that son. You deserve to be happy, and if Taylor makes you happy, then that’s all that matters. I can’t wait to meet her” she replied in her soft sweet tone
“I can’t wait for you to meet her too. I miss you ma. How’s Tootie and DeShawn?” I asked of my sister and nephew
“They’re good. DeShawn is on his way over in a few minutes. You need to call Tootie, I think that would definitely make her day” she half way scolded me.
“Yeah, I need to call her. I’ll give her a call later on tonight” I told
“Well, I was thinking about coming down next weekend to visit. Do you have any plans?” she asked
“No, I don’t. That would be great if you could come down to visit” I said. I have to admit I was excited like a kid on Christmas morning about my mom coming to visit.
“Ok, well, I tell you what, I’ll call you later this week, probably tomorrow with the details”
“Ok cool. I look forward to seeing you, and you meeting Tay” I smiled
“I look forward to seeing you to, and I can’t wait to meet Taylor. Tell her I said hi and I’ll see you guys next week” mama said
“Ok I will. I love you mama” I replied just as Taylor walked up behind me wrapping her arms around my torso.
“I love you to baby, I’ll talk to you later” she said before hanging up.
I hung up my phone and slid it back in my pocket before turning around to wrap my arms around my girl. I turned around to get a good look at her. She looked incredible in just some black jeans, a tank top with pink lips on it and her black and pink J’soutfit. He hair was still damp from our shower, she had just pulled her wet hair into a ponytail which was starting to make soft loose curls as it dried.
“WHAT?” she smiled
“You know I love it when you wear your J’s” I smiled licking my lips
“Boi, come on, lets go” she smiled taking my hand and leading to the garage.
