Oh Lord, Help Me Keep My Panties on - By Lynda Burton Page 0,27
“Damn, girl. Are you trying to kill me?” he asked. He pulled himself up off the floor, crawled into the bed, and beckoned for me to lie in his arms. About thirty minutes later, I got up and went downstairs to get us something to drink, and Kavon went into the bathroom. When I returned, I could hear the shower running, so I knocked on the bathroom door and entered. As I held out the glass for Kavon to take a sip, he pulled me into the shower. He washed me from head to toe, and I washed him. We dried off, went back into my room to watch TV, and fell asleep in each others arms.
“Hmmm, what’s that smell?” I rolled over and noticed that Kavon was MIA, and then I realized that he was in the kitchen, making breakfast. My, my, my, he got real comfortable, real fast, I thought. I got up and went into the bathroom. When I came out, Kavon was walking up the stairs with a tray of food. “I just let your dog out and gave him some fresh water, so please go back to bed so I can feed you your breakfast,” Kavon said. How thoughtful. Breakfast! The man was phenomenal in the kitchen! He had made French toast garnished with confectionary sugar, sausages, bacon, eggs, orange juice, and coffee. Damn, a great fuck and a culinary master. I hit the jackpot and laughed to myself. Where had this man been hiding all my life? Shit, I know damn well, there’s some female, if not three or four, ready to kill for this man. Kavon was sure nuff, a walking, talking, licking, eating, and fucking gold mine! I knew if I continued seeing Kavon I would be in for drama and maybe forced to throw down.
When we finished breakfast, Kavon decided not to wear out his welcome, so he jumped in the shower and got himself ready to leave. We walked down the stairs holding hands and stopped just short of the front door. “How’s your schedule this week? Would I be able to see you?” Kavon asked. “I do have a hectic week ahead, but I should be free after six.” We kissed a long passionate kiss and watched him as he pulled off as I leaned against the door frame. I had to laugh to myself; that I met this man the day before and had the time of my life. Only thing was, I had a funny feeling that the drama was about to begin. As fast as I could blink my eyes, the weekend was over, and I was back to my routine. I got through four days of meetings, deadlines conferences, and briefings. Ugh! Where does the madness end! The bright side of my week was the daily phone calls from Kavon.
It was Friday morning around 9:00 AM when a girlfriend of mine called. Toni and I go way back, about fifteen years in fact. Toni has always been and inspiration, a motivator, a go-getter, and a good friend to have when I need someone to talk to. Toni was a five feet and seven inches bombshell with a fiery personality to match her beauty. She started her own construction company a few years back and was doing very well for herself.
The first thing Toni said to me when she called was, “Haley, I need you to do me a big favor. If you’re not busy, please get on the computer or call the airlines for me. I need to find a flight leaving late this afternoon to the Caribbean. I don’t care where it is, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic; just find the sand for me, girl. I need to get the hell out of here, and I don’t have time to do it.” Oh shit, she must have had a fight with her boyfriend Thomas again, I thought to myself. “Yeah girl, I have some free time to surf the web. I call you back when I get some numbers,” I said and hung up. I called Toni back about two hour later and left the information on her voice mail. Around twelve, I decided to go to lunch with my coworker Lynn and left the office to grab a bite to eat and to do a little window shopping.
Lynn and I had just sat down to have lunch when Toni called back. She confirmed my suspicions, about her having a fight with her boyfriend.
