I felt her body tense then, “I don’t know. They… they would really have to impress me. I’m all he has, Daemon.”
“He has me,” I told her with every ounce of honesty and loyalty that I could.
I could tell that statement meant a lot to her, because she pushed herself further into my body, and all I did was tighten my hold on her.
“You trust them?” She asked me after a few silent moments.
I buried my face in her neck and whispered, “It’s the man and woman that took me in and raised me.”
Her entire body relaxed then. “Let me meet them, then I'll decide.”
I nodded and then pulled my phone out of my pocket, and called Melanie. She answered on the second ring, “Hey, sweetie. Everything okay?”
“Yeah, Mom. But got a question to ask,” I told her as I pressed another kiss atop Aliyah’s head.
She was running her hand over my arm that was wrapped around her belly.
She chuckled at that, she wasn’t lying when she said, “This is a first. What’s up?”
“Do you, Dad, and Lily, wait, hang on,” then I pulled the phone from my mouth.
And asked Aliyah, “Is tonight, okay? Or do you and Crew already have plans?”
She turned her head and then smiled, pressed a kiss to the underside of my jaw, and said, “Tonight is fine.”
I winked down at her, “Thanks, baby.”
With that I put the phone back to my ear, “Sorry, Mom. I’m back. You still there?”
She sounded so giddy that I shook my head, “I sure am.”
“Okay. Do you, Dad, and Lily have plans tonight? I have two people I want y’all to meet and I wanted to ask you and Dad for a favor.”
I didn’t know what I expected her to say, but the words that came from her mouth sure weren’t them, “Are these the same two people from that game?”
I smiled, “Yeah, Mom. They are.”
She squealed so loud I had to pull the phone from my ear, which had the woman in front of me giggling, “Then consider any plans we had canceled. Dinner is at six.”
“Thanks, Mom.” I was about to pull the phone from my ear when she said, “Wait! Daemon, the little boy, any allergies?”
I shook my head, “Nope. But he loves peanut butter.”
She let out a loud hallelujah, and then she was gone, and I had no doubt she was already planning the menu out.
When it was time to head back to our other classes, I pressed a kiss on her lips, then I told her, “I’ll pick y’all up at five-thirty. That okay”
She nodded, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to my own lips, and then she headed in the opposite direction for one of her art classes.
And when I knocked on the door, she answered it with a smile on her face and she had on the prettiest plum-colored dress I’d ever seen.
And seeing her in those black heels. Holy shit.
I didn’t realize I had been staring when she and Crew giggled, and then she asked, “Is this okay?”
“You look. Fuck. But you look amazing, sweetheart.” I took in all that was her and realized I was going to be staring at her all night long.
Her blonde hair was curled in some half-up, half-down number.
