Sinclair nodded her head in agreement. “Now since you’re staying, why you don’t you pull your car into my garage while I finish making this.”
“Come here,” she said to Kingston softly. “No more tricks I promise.” Sinclair crossed her fingers to Kingston.
Kingston had reluctantly made his way to a standing Sinclair.
Sinclair hugged Kingston and kissed him on the check. “That’s for knowing what I need even if I don’t know that I need it myself.”
“Well you are very welcome. You knew I needed those Figs yesterday and I know when you need to relax and unwind. We are a team and we look out for each other, that’s how a real relationship works. We take care of each other just like vessel I told you about before,” Kingston explained while still holding her in his arms.
“Let me go move my car, I’ll be right back,” Sinclair said as she slid out Kingston’s arms.
When Sinclair and Kingston finished eating dinner they snuggled together on the couch. They cuddled in the family room while sipping on Kingston’s secret punch.
“This is perfect.” Sinclair said while relaxing in Kingston’s muscular arms.
“My secret drink or our perfect dinner we made together? Or us cuddling together?” He asked as pouring rain pounded the house.
“Sinclair turned and looked in Kingston’s gray eyes. “All of the above,” she replied while inching closer to Kingston. “You’re keeping me nice and warm especially with this crazy rain.”
“Well I’m doing my best. I don’t know about you but it seems like it rains every other week. Not just grab your umbrella rain but hurricane rain in the summer time.” Kingston said while holding Sinclair in his arms.
“I am so over this rain it’s not even funny. I think maybe Mother Nature got Washington DC mixed up with Washington State where it rains all the time.” Sinclair joked as she lay staring at the ceiling fan.
“I agree, this is perfect.” Kingston said sipping on this drink. “So can you figure out what I put in my drink?”
“Not exactly sure but I think I taste lemon and…” Sinclair said as she sipped her drink again. “Maybe sugar or something sweet. Not lemonade but something else.”
“You are close but I am going to make you figure this out and we have all night long.” Kingston explained.
“Whatever you put in here it takes delicious and at least I know I’m close so I will figure it out.” Sinclair said as she placed her glass on the coffee table.
“You know I was talking to my parents about you,” Kingston said as he placed his glass on the table next to Sinclair’s.
“I hope you didn’t tell them that I can’t cook,” Sinclair laughed.
“I actually told them that you put a master chef to shame.” Seeing Sinclair’s confused look. “I am speaking it into existent. The only way to believe that you are something is to breathe life into it. You will not only learn how to cook but you will be great at it too. You will be a great cook and you will be cooking for me while I put my feet up.” Kingston responded as they both laughed.
“Okay. Whatever you say Pastor Carter,” Sinclair winked at Kingston.
“Anyway getting back to what I was trying to tell you. I told my parents about your agency and what you do. They would like to donate some items to help you.” Kingston went on as he sat back on the sofa. “They weren’t sure what you needed so they asked me to ask you. I told them you would welcome any donations and that it didn’t matter what they were because you need donations period.”
A surprised Sinclair hugged Kingston. “Oh my God! That’s great. I could really use the help. My supplies are running low right about now.”
“So what do you need?” Kingston asked Sinclair.”
“Let me see.” Sinclair said as she got up to grab her cell phone to look for her list.
“Wait; let me get some paper and a pen so I won’t forget anything.” Kingston began as he started searching for the items in the counter draws. “Okay, I’m ready.”
“Are you sure because, it’s a lot?” Sinclair replied with uncertainty in her voice.
“Yes I’m sure, now let’s go.” Kingston said while waiting for Sinclair to begin.
Reading for her notes in her cell phone Sinclair began. “I need tooth brushes and toothpaste. Feminine hygiene products, deodorants and backpacks. I also need bottled water and….” Just then thunder roared so loudly it caused Sinclair to jump spilling their
