I made it home around 5:30pm and immediately prepared for a nap. Slipped my heels off and my skirt went except under garments. Crawling into bed and under the covers felt like a hotel bed, whew and everybody knows what that feels like. I was beat I set my alarm for 7:30 Freedom and I made plans to meet with each other at 9:30. Of course we are meeting up, I don't know anything about this man so I am most certainly not having him pull up to my house, ha just saying. Last thing I remember before closing my eyes was a text from Freedom saying he enjoyed his time today and couldn't hardly wait for the nightfall to see me again. He got me already! Beep Beep Beep I thought it was a dream the beeping sound however it was my alarm to get ready for my date. Once I realized this I jumped up and lit my candle to get my vibe in place. Standing in the center of my walk in closet I was at first indecisive about what to wear. An epiphany to put on a something casual but sexy, came to me. I decided on my floral bustier with the matching teal cardigan, high waisted white jeans with small rips on the thigh area and my favorite clog heels that has the sandal look. I got started with my shower, how good with that look being late for the first date? I take it as a sign of disrespect for someone to tell you a specific or rough estimate and does not commit to it especially when they don't communicate either. The water was perfect I could feel myself waking up with every pitter patter rhythm of water that fell against my skin. Washing my face in the shower always calmed my spirits and helped settle my mind as my thoughts were racing about tonight. What is he like after dark , will he still remain respectful and be the gentleman I met this morning? I shall see. After a thorough cleansing I got out and started getting ready. In the midst of putting on my accessories I decided to shoot Freedom a text to let him know I was finishing up and will be heading out shortly. Sitting my phone down on the dresser, I finished getting myself together. Right when I started to feel alarmed about him not responding he called "Hey beautiful, I am driving to our location to meet, I didn't see your message forgive me." All I heard was "driving to our meet location" wow a man that actually is in route on time, without reminder and without everything else in the world to handle before coming, whew its like a dream come true. There was no need to ask for forgiveness in my eyes but the fact that he chose to off the strength of timing in responding to my message. I may need to be his wife, thinking to myself as I headed out and locked my house up. My Uber's music choice was phenomenal a mixture of all old school genres. The closer we got to Lincoln street the more nervous I became. I just about fainted when the driver pulled up and Freedom was standing there looking like "EVERYTHING" from top to bottom. He wore a tan straw hat with a white short sleeve button down leaving the first three buttons undone to reveal that perfectly chiseled chest, tan cargo shorts and a pair of white Air Force One's lord have mercy He making me want to forget the evening and do something I never done before. I wont though. I haven't been this attracted to a man like this in a very long time and although I'm nervous it still feels damn good. I could hardly gather myself when the car finally stopped, "here we go," I said to myself and got out. He caught a glimpse of me and his face lit up and I loved it! It felt so good to be scooped up in his arms again, he smelled even better than before and the way he just kissed me is as if he's already solidifying us, ha I know right I'm jumping way ahead. He brought me to a place I didn't know existed "Jazzy Soul" is the name. The outside patios both front and back were filled with people having a good time. We made our way to the bar something about this man made me feel dangerous and free inside and I needed my drink to match that. I ordered Rum with lemonade and toasted him Hennessey and coke, I think we are in for a great night! Once we got our drinks Freedom grabbed my hand so gently and led me to a table that had candles lit with a beautiful mini waterfall figure as the centerpiece. For a second we just sat there gazing at one another, our silence said a thousand words the chemistry had definitely ignited between us. Breaking the silence "this place is so nice I never heard of it," I stated nervously. He just looked at me and smiled a reassuring smile that said I had no reason to be nervous. He was absolutely right, I didn't and from that point on I owned my confidence. We literally danced and talked all night we ate good and danced some more. The DJ slowed it down a bit and I was kind of happy I needed to catch my breath. "Freedom, you have rhythm" my face must've expressed what my body meant saying this to him because he pulled be closed and looked in my eyes like he was searching for answers, whatever he wants to know I'm willing to tell. Instead of saying a word he kissed me the kiss was beyond lust and desire maybe I'm wrong and crazy but I felt something more behind that kiss. Before I knew it we were heading to back to his car. Was I foolish for letting down my guard and going to a stranger's house just because I felt a connection and honestly needing to feel good if you know what I mean, lord knows I hope he delivers cause we all know the vast majority can't. I am too intrigued by him to be nervous or afraid my female intuition wasn't ringing so I didn't feel the need to be alarmed. It was almost as if we were both thinking the same thing because every red light he approached we leaned in to kiss I talking kissing with passion it's like we've been here before. Finally the moment I know for a fact I've been waiting for, we pulled up to my house and honey the house matched the man! I couldn't help but smile in hopes that he didn't catch me cheesing. I mean I'm just not used to dealing with guys that have their own so I felt like Cinderella. I let my past get the best of me "you live alone," I asked with a skeptical low tone? He looked at me with a confused yet validating look and his response was completely unexpected. "I wouldn't have brought you here if I didn't and I'm going to assume you do as well or else you wouldn't be here," he leaned over and kissed me "come on sweetheart lets go inside." I literally did not know what to do with myself a man giving me a response without making it seem like I'm asking him to take his life, sheesh this felt so surreal. His home wowed me he had a few clothes thrown on the back of the couch maybe in a rush, In simplest terms he is one of the few men that has a home and further more it's clean. I'm feeling everything about him and since I haven't been exclusive in over 10 years I wouldn't mind working my move on Freedom. He prepared us drinks in the kitchen and told me to make myself at home and if we had more nights like this, this will be my home. Now I'm feeling like he's taunting me because it's in no disguise the desire I have for him, could he be playing on it? It's so sad how a person's past traumas can have them not trusting anyone but it also shows not to put anything past a person. We listened to music and dance all through the living room, he kept the drinks coming and the energy high. I needed to take a seat I couldn't remember the last time I danced so much. I was feeling my liquor tremendously. I propped my arm up on the arm of the couch and rested my head on my fist I felt so comfortable and for a split second I closed my eyes. That is until I felt Freedom lift my legs and slide on the couch next to me placing my legs across his lap he unbuckled my shoes and slid them off placing them on the side of the couch. He gave me a foot rub out of this world, caressing and kissing my feet. I couldn't hold off any longer I repositioned myself so that I could be on top of him I felt so weak for him already I had to find some sense of control. We kissed passionately and he kissed every part of my body until he found my spots and when he did I begged for mercy. I performed for him like I had never performed before and the entire time we gazed at each other. He solidified in this very moment what I had wondered about all day, " I want to be solid with you Spirit, something about you makes me want to get to know the woman that you are." I felt my body and soul flow from me and onto him which let him know I was in complete agreeance with him. Freedom is the type of man you brag about and your proud to come home to. He's the type you could show off cause he stands for something and doesn't need me for anything. I'm willing to see where this goes regardless of how I feel he's innocent until further notice, goodnight!
