“Thank you for making this mishap a memorable one. I could get lost in you again,” she whispered against my flesh before she planted a kiss on my shoulder.

Removing myself from between her walls, I laid beside her allowing her to gather herself. What we participated in was unplanned events, but it was worth it.

“Can I ask you something?”

“I don’t see why not.” She rolled over and placed her head on my chest. The intimate moment we created hadn’t faded yet.

“If I wanted to explore this further, not just with sex but getting to know you better and wanting to try and build something, would you allow it? Would you give me the time to make you mine for real?”

She laid quietly and I gave her the time to think. I knew what I was asking so even if she declined, it was something I wanted to try to obtain. Charmaine had a charismatic personality and baby girl gravitated toward her almost instantly. I figured why not go for it.

“I’d like that. I know this trip was originally designed for me to ward away men for a while but it’s something about you that I find to be intriguing. I would love to explore this connection. Plus, the way you just worked my body… I need more of that.”

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re agreeing just to receive it.”

“I mean, it’s playing a major factor but along the way I’d like for that to become a plus. I got a glimpse of the kind of person you are, and I’d like to see more of it. Make sure I’m not blinded by your handsome features and good pipe game.”

I laughed at her response, but I was glad that she was acceptive to the proposal. She could’ve easily said no but she saw what I saw and as a hopeless romantic she did what she normally did. However, this time would be different. I was a man that went after what he wanted, and Charmaine was that.

“Cool, cool. Would you like to shower with me and go for another round?”

“Of course.”

I woke up to the smell of a well-cooked breakfast. I knew seasoned food when I smelled it. I sat up and looked at the mess that was made. Charmaine and I went round for round last night, so it was shocking to see she had enough energy to do anything.

I headed for the bathroom to brush my teeth before slipping into something appropriate. Serenity was probably up helping her cook the same way she did me. I threw on a pair of joggers and a t-shirt before stepping out and joining them. When I made it to the kitchen, both of them were flipping pancakes.

“I must’ve done something nice to receive a full course breakfast,” I voiced startling both of them.

“Daddy, daddy!” Serenity dropped her utensils, stepped down from her stool, and came running in my direction. She was greeted the way she always was with a hug and kiss on the forehead.

“What’s up baby girl. I see you made us breakfast.”

“Charmaine helped me,” she said sprinting back to finish flipping her flapjacks.

“Oh, she helped you, huh?”

“She knows more about what you like than I do, so I took directions from her. Hopefully, it’s to your liking.”

“I’m sure it will make the list among other things,” I replied, placing a kiss on her cheek as my arm snaked around her waist.

She shook her head while trying to hide her blushing. In my heart I felt like we were going to mesh well. Her spirit was warm and that was something I needed. Because of her being this person that was so open to love, I could tell that she was the one that always received the short end and not the other way around.

“I talked to my friends, and they acted like women, so you know how that conversation flowed. They’re good though. Theywere worried you did something to me until I called and checked in again this morning.”

“I mean, I did do something to you but that’s none of their business.”

“Exactly. Any who, I checked outside, and the snow is crazy. It looks like I might be buried here for the entire weekend.”

“Yayyy! Charmaine can play barbies with me,” Serenity squealed as she ran to her room.

“If you’re comfortable being under me and my little one for that long, then I’m cool with it. However, if you need me to call someone out here to shovel it and apply some salt, then I can do that as well.”

“Nah, I’m good. I wanted more of you, and it looks like I was granted that. Truthfully speaking, if I would’ve left today without getting more time with you, I probably would’ve had a fit. I wasn’t ready to give you up and face the reality of me having to go back home.”

Hearing her say that, warmed my heart. She genuinely wanted to be with me and that was something I had a hard time receiving from women. Even as a teen, I was wanted for certain benefits.
