Unravel Me

Chapter 17

Bryanna had finished the last painting for Steve over the next couple of weeks. It came out perfect, black tones and a bit of blues. She found time to finish balancing her time at the bookstore, the studio and coming up with new moves, and her little 'dinner' dates with Steve. She was hooked to him- mostly his cock but you get the point.

Also coming up with new moves for Henry's charity event that was next week. She had trouble trying to find a song but then made up her mind by choosing 'I like it' by Cardi B.

With how busy she was, she didn't even know her birthday was coming up.

Although Sharon didn't tell Bryanna nothing, her gut feeling felt like she knew about the whole Peggy and Steve thing.

After a long day from work, Steve shot Bryanna a text as soon as he got off of work saying to be ready for the two can go out to lunch.

The date was going amazing as always, Steve always being a true gentleman the entire time they spent together. Steve had asked her to choose the place she wanted to eat at, of course, not hesitating she chose to diner.

The only problem Bryanna had was how she felt so hot, she worked her ass off at the studio today, non stop sweat had dribbled through her bodies. So she thought it was still the adrenaline rush that was kicking in.

But as much as she wanted to put her hair up in a bun, she couldn't. Or else she'll reveal every speck of love marks Steve had left all over her neck.

Fanning herself with the menu board, she grabbed Steve's attention. "You okay sweetheart?" He said. "Just a bit hot." She replied, adjusting her hair more to the front.

"You don't got to hide them ya know?" Steve teased her, knowing exactly what she was doing.

She squinted her eyes at him, giving him a scolding look. "I don't want fifteen year olds to see my neck covered in a hickey necklace." She spoke, picking up her milkshake and taking a sip.

"But we're not around them, are we?" He said, leaning in and grabbing a hold of her hand. "Still." She responded. "It looks un lady like."

He chuckled as he shook his head, deprecating himself as Hope came with their meals. Both digging in on the amazing cuisine, chili cheese fries with a cheeseburger, Bryanna's all time favorite.

It's human to want to seek validation. Whether it be from a friend, family, or your partner. But Bryanna craved the acceptance from Steve, wanting to belong somewhere with him as she wanted to be loved too.

As their relationship escalated, Bryanna couldn't help but think about a future with Steve.

"Thank you for feeding me till I gain a few pounds." She joked as she put her seatbelt on.

"Of course doll." He smiled. "And even if you were to gain weight, i'll still obsess over you just like I do now." He reassured her.

A white long sleeve crop top that showed her skin, her short pastel pink plaid skirt showing off her shiny and juicy thighs. Steve couldn't help but stare at the cleavage of her body, so many dirty thoughts going through his head.

"You know." He began. "Your birthday is tomorrow." Steve said as his eyes focused back on the road.

"Oh yeah." She replied. "I totally forgot about that."

Steve glanced at her, noticing how she didn't react surprised for her birthday. "You're not excited?"

"I never really celebrated my birthday ever since my mom passed." She replied, a friend appearing on her face. "Me and her would always plan something together, but now that she's gone it's hard to do that with someone else."
