Chapter Ten
Kesia had no problem getting herself into the shower. She located the towels in the small linen closet across the hall from the bathroom. She grabbed two towels, walked into the bathroom, shut the door and locked it behind her.
She placed her bag on the floor and dropped the two towels on top of it.
Kesia looked around the bathroom and noticed that Jarrett's bathroom was really no different from hers at home.
Before getting on the shower, Kesia went through the calls she'd missed the night before on her cellphone. Kesia wasn't surprised by what she found.
Dominic, Letti, & Mia had each called 6 times & Jesse, Vince, & Leon had each called 4 times.
All Kesia did was smirk.
After deleting all her missed calls, she snapped the cellphone shut and grabbed everything she needed for her shower out of her 'emergency' bag.
She turned on the water so that it could heat up while she undressed. Kesia peeled of her smoky smelling clothes, got into the tub and turned on the shower. She put her face under the falling water. It woke her up & cured her headache a bit. Kesia grabbed her soap and shampoo and began to wash up
When she finished, she turned the water off, and got out. She grabbed her towels and quickly dried off. She dressed quickly into a thong, no bra (she never had one on last night & there wasn't one in her bag), low rider jeans and an army tank top. She dried and brushed out her hair. She hadn't taken her necklaces off, so she just left them there. She grabbed the eyeliner and mascara out of her bag and put it on.
When she was done, she put her stuff back into her bag, including her dirty clothes. She looked at herself one last time in the mirror. Her puppy paws were exposed, as was her 'Wild Cherry' tattoo and her thong straps were showing.
Kesia picked up her bag, unlocked and opened the door. When she opened the door a glorious smell hit her nose.
Kesia walked down the stairs and walked towards that glorious smell.
She walked into the kitchen where Jarrett was cooking bacon, sausages, and strawberry pancakes.
"You really didn't have to do that," she said dropping her bag on the floor and walking over to the plate of bacon on the counter.
"I though I'd give you a little something to eat before you leave," he replied while putting the pancakes on the table.
"It seems to me, Mr. Ross, that you're trying to get me to stay longer," she said chewing on a piece of bacon she had managed to snatch from the plate.
"Well, I don't know about that. I think I'll be happy to have you leave,' he said while grabbing the plate of bacon away from her before she could get another piece. ' I invite you to my house and you come here and terrorize the place."
Kesia just smiled at him.
Jarrett walked over to her. "Now, why would I want to get rid of a charming girl like you?"
"I may not be as charming as you think."
"Oh, is that right," he said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Oh, and you know it."
Jarrett gave her a quick kiss, before they both sat down at the table.
Kesia thought she was going to die if she didn't eat.
"Good thing I made extra," he said while watching her pile 3 pancakes, 12 pieces of bacon and 5 sausages onto her plate.
"I girls gotta eat and besides I'm starving," she said pouring syrup onto her pancakes.
"Sorry, I couldn't make eggs. I don't have any."
"That's okay. I ha.or I don't like eggs," she replied while chewing on a sausage.
Jarrett only shook his head and began eating.
They ate quietly until they were both done.
"Sorry if I've been such a pig," Kesia said.
"It's okay. Everybody's like that once in a while," he replied.
Kesia looked at the clock. It was 8:45 am. She had to get home.
"Hey, I hate to say this, but I gotta run, hon," she said sadly.
"Yeah, but it's okay we'll see each other soon," he replied getting up from the table along with Kesia.
Jarrett grabbed her bag off the floor and followed her towards the back door.
"Here you go," he said handing her the bag.
Kesia took the bag from him, but when she did Jarrett grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
Kesia considered a moment, dropping her eyes to Jarrett's mouth. One hand still held hers while the other slid around the cradle of her neck. Kesia shifted her gaze until their eyes met.
The corners of Jarrett's mouth twitched as he tightened his hold a little at the base of her neck. Slowly, he lowered his head towards hers. Excited and a bit hyper, Kesia kept her eyes open, watching his. She knew from experience that you could tell more about people from the eyes. To her surprise, his eyes remained open as well, even as their lips met.
It was a gentle kiss, with no demand. Amazed, Kesia thought she felt the ground tremble under her feet. His lips moved lightly over hers. Kesia's pulse drummed under her skin. Lazily, he traced her lips with the tip of his tongue, teasing them open. Still there was no demand in the kiss, only testing. Confident, Jarrett explored her mouth while Kesia felt her breath accelerating. A soft moan escaped her as her eyes closed.
For a moment Kesia surrendered utterly to him and to the new sensations swimming through her. She leaned against him, straining towards pleasure, sighing with it as the kiss lingered.
Jarrett drew her away, but their faces remained close. His hand was still light on the back of her neck.
"What an incredible girl you are, Kesia," he murmured. "One surprise after another."
Kesia felt stunningly alive. Her skin seemed to crawl with new feeling. "I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Ross."
Jarrett laughed as Kesia felt him slip something into her pocket.
"Now get going before you get into more shit," he said urging her out the door.
"Like I'm not already in enough," she smiled at him.
"Hold up. You're forgetting the something," he said throwing her car keys to her.
Kesia caught them and opened the driver's side door, throwing the bag in the back seat.
Kesia gave him one last smile before getting into the car and driving off.
The drive home seemed like eternity, but when she neared her house fear began to build up inside of her.
What would she face when she set foot into that house?
Kesia had no problem getting herself into the shower. She located the towels in the small linen closet across the hall from the bathroom. She grabbed two towels, walked into the bathroom, shut the door and locked it behind her.
