She leaned her forehead against mine and sighed. “You should come with a warning label Mikey because I’m pretty sure you’re going to do all sorts of damage to my heart.” She whispered.
I didn’t know what to say to that because like everything else Nikki’s words split me in half. The logical half of me tells me that I should shut this shit down before I did hurt her. I wasn’t looking for a girlfriend and when her aunt introduced me to Nana as Nikki’s boyfriend, I nearly had a stroke but then the stupid as fuck part of me told me I liked the sound of it. I liked being the man in Nikki’s life despite knowing I wasn’t capable of giving her anything she deserved. I could love Nikki that wouldn’t be the problem because when I love I love big, but it seems like whoever is on the receiving end of my love is always destined to be torn away from me. I accepted my fate a long time ago knowing that I was meant to live this life by myself. It never bothered me before in fact, I was relieved by the solidarity, but that was before Nikki. She makes me think I can be good. She makes me think I could be the man that loves her like she is supposed to be loved. She makes me completely delusional. That’s when I realized that she too should’ve come with a warning label.
Chapter Twenty One
It had taken a few hours for us to settle into Aunt Gina’s house, but once we convinced Nana that if we needed her help we’d call on her it was smooth sailing from there. I forgot how crazy they could be. Aunt Gina was a bit more subdue than Nana, as it was she was only interested in getting laid apparently. Something I didn’t want to discuss anymore. Not ever. Nana was a hand full though she cursed like a truck driver and I had a sneaky suspicion that she was packing more than just a shotgun. She was a sly little old lady, but Mikey just kept feeding her cigarettes so he wouldn’t have to deal with her he was raking in the dough too. She’d slip him a five dollar bill each time he palmed her another stogy. I was out a pack of cigarettes, but Nana was quiet and Mikey didn’t look so out of sorts anymore.
Aunt Gina showed us to our rooms I won’t lie, I was a little disappointed that Mikey and I weren’t sharing a room, but I didn’t question anything, seeing as how I wasn’t sure what my father had told his sister. My room was down the hall from Mikey’s and he was right next to Aunt Gina’s. I think she has the hots for Mikey I caught her checking him out a few times batting her false eyelashes and puckering her collagen lips. I’m not sure if Mikey noticed or not the poor guy looked like he wanted to sleep for a month.
He also looked pained that we wouldn’t be sharing a bed either, but I planned to change that. I opened the door to the room I was in and scoped out the hallway. The house was dark, but I learned earlier that didn’t count for much around here so I quietly tiptoed down the hallway, careful not to let the floorboards creak underneath my feet as I made my way to Mikey’s room. I slowly turned the doorknob and poked my head inside the darkened room. Mikey was laying on his stomach in the center of the bed snoring his body twisted in the sheets that were riding low on his bare ass. I closed the door softly, leaning against it as I took in the sight of him.
I stripped out of my clothes and padded naked across the room to join him in the bed. The thing was there was no room for me to just lay beside him and seductively wake him. He was sprawled across the full size bed hogging up all the room. I kneeled onto the edge of the bed and leaned over him as I pressed my breasts against his back and nuzzled his neck running my tongue along his skin.
“Dear Lord, please be Nikki and not Aunt Gina.” He groaned into the pillow.
I laughed against his skin throwing one leg over the side of him so that I was straddling him.
“So you noticed she has a bit of a crush on you.” I said my fingers traveling the length of his back. I wanted to kiss every inch of him, but first I wanted him on his back because there was so much more to appreciate from the front. I slapped his ass playfully as I lifted my hips. “Flip over.”
Mikey turned onto his back, his groggy eyes widening slightly as his gaze traveled the length of my naked body. I didn’t feel bashful in the slightest welcoming his heated stare as it ignited a fire inside of me a fire that burned only for him.
