Kel sat on Zuri's bed, scrolling on his phone, trying to kill time until she was done in the bathroom. They were on their way to meet up with Semaj and his new lady friend who he wanted to introduce to his closest friends.
They noticed they'd been distancing themselves from the outside world ever since they became a couple. They couldn't help it though; they were happy.
Kel had been feeling a little guilty though since Semaj was like the little brother he never wanted but loved unconditionally and he didn't want their bond to fade now that their lives were becoming more...serious.
He could admit that being under Zuri had played a part in his quality time with the other people in his life but little did he know, Tone and Semaj didn't blame him for how much time he spent with Zuri. He hadn't been this wrapped up in someone since his senior year of high school.
He and his ex didn't leave off on a bad note but parted ways since they were taking their lives in different directions. Over the course of his college years, Kel had little flings to occupy him and his needs but they never evolved into relationships. The girls he entertained simply never had what he was looking for. He wanted a woman.
Zuri on the other hand didn't see a problem with how much time she interacted with her friends. This was new to her so she doesn't know how to act. Are pop ups okay? Should she call? Are friend dates necessary? Were questions she wanted answers to. She saw herself as the friend that was distant but you knew would be there when you needed them. She liked her space.
But with Kel, she wanted to live in his skin which was new. She didn't try to push the feeling away but instead embraced it openly. She found herself wanting to be under him 25/8 and vice versa.
But they didn't want their relationship to move too fast or make it seem like they were all each other knew. Which is why they were going out.
"Bae, you gon come wit' me to view this apartment?" Kel asked, scrolling through apartment listings. Zuri cracked the bathroom door open and Kel looked up to see steam seeping through the crack.
Ever since Moria gave birth to baby Zikia Noah Queens, she temporarily gave up her one bedroom apartment to temporarily live with Antonio. They both thought it would be wiser so a newborn baby wasn't being thrown back and forth between homes and since Moria was going to be in pain, she'd rather stay put in one home for now.
As for Kel, this meant he needed to find his own space, permanently. Both reassured and joked to him they wouldn't have him on uncle duty and would mind his personal space but Kel ultimately decided it was time to move out and start living in his own space. He would never speak this to anyone, but the only reason he continued to live with his older brother was because he felt the distance between them would alter their relationship.
It had before when Antonio first moved to New York away from Louisiana and Kel felt the shift in their bond. Communication was limited, trips were cut and time was lost. When Kel first moved to the big apple to be closer with him, he didn't see himself moving into his own place and was glad Tone never criticized him for so and instead made a home for him. Kel told himself he wouldn't move out until he no longer felt welcomed but that feeling never came and instead Kel realized Tone was starting a new life, a new family which meant he needed to detach a bit and he was okay with that because he felt he was ready.
He would be 23 soon. He needed this jump.
"If you want. When is it?" Zuri asked from behind the door. Kel shook his head and returned his attention back to his phone.
"Wednesday, 2 o'clock. Imma see if Semaj wanna come too." He licked over his lips when Zuri walked out the bathroom looking as edible as ever. She was only clad in black biker shorts, a grey Nike sweater, white fur lined crocs and a few gold accessories decorated her neck and wrist. Her 30" wig install flowed down her back, was something new and beautiful. And not to mention her bare face, now blemish free thanks to Beans babymomma skin care product which was made from natural oils and herbs.
"What you lookin' at?" Zuri asked walking over to her dresser and spraying on her organic scented coconut body spray with Kels eyes following her every move.
"Shit, you. C'mere." His voice low and serenading as Zuri turned to face him with a goofy smile. She happily walked towards him and stood between his legs, his hands finding their way to the back of her thighs, fingertips accidentally brushing against her lower lips. Zuri's smile never left her face as butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
Silence fell between them as they continued to stare at each other, speaking with their eyes. Zuri slowly wrapped her arms around Kel's shoulders, despite the heartbeat between her legs.
Zuri trailed her eyes over her mans face, in awe at how handsome he was. Mindlessly, she rubbed her hand over his ance free skin; she traced every single facial feature that was his until her fingertips memorized them.
They both were stuck in the moment between them not hearing Kels phone ring until Siri read them the contact name and that they were requesting a FaceTime audio.
Kel opened his eyes with a groan and answered on the last ring.
"What Semaj?" Kel immediately asked with annoyance. He looked up at Zuri who was busy applying lipgloss to her lips, not paying attention to him anymore. He unintentionally licked over his bottom lip, watching her.
Zuri could only make out late in what Semaj was saying over the phone, causing her to look down at her newly purchased Apple Watch 5 to see they were indeed 10 minutes late.
"Damn, we'll be there in 5." Kel said before ending the call and sighed. He tapped the back of Zuri's thigh to signal her to move so he could stand.
"Was he upset?" She asked, watching his shirt rise, showcasing his boxer briefs in the mist of stretching.
"Nah, not really. He and ole' girl just ordered some food and just realized we were late." Kel smirked.
"Her name is Malaysia, Ezekiel." Zuri playfully rolled her eyes. Kel always forgot the girls name, and to prevent sounding disrespectful, he insisted on not trying to figure it out just incase he got it wrong.
"Mhm, let's go." After grabbing his keys, Kel led them out of the apartment and the building and towards his car. The entire ride to the Rolled rink, they listened to old school hits, seemingly having a sing-along battle.
"You really think you cut like dat, huh?" Kel smirked, standing behind Zuri as they waited to pay and get their skates.
"I am. I might be a 2000's baby but the 90's era was still in its prime." Zuri flipped her 30" installed body wave hair over her shoulder. Ever since she'd tried a wig for Valentine's for the first time, she couldn't help but try again and she was loving how much of a pretty girl it made her feel. Getting dolled up for no reason what so ever surprisingly made her feel confident in some way. Not that her natural hair wasn't loved just as much but there was something about a new hair do that gave Zuri an extra boost. Same for nails and lashes.
Kel stared at her side profile and couldn't help but smile. Sometimes he couldn't believe she was all his.
"You so pretty, baby." He whispered in her ear, unknowingly sending shivers up her spine. Zuri turned to face him with a hidden blush thanks to her dark complexion.
She leaned up and kissed him. "Thank you, handsome." She whispered back. Just then, it was their turn to get skates after Kel paid for them both.
Finally entering the building, they immediately walked over to the food area and saw Semaj and Malaysia sitting at a table, sharing a basket of fries and laughing amongst themselves.
"Hey folks." Zuri greeted as she approached the two with Kel closely behind, watching their surroundings. Semaj was the first to stand with a wide smile, giving Zuri a side hug and giving Kel a dap.
"Wassam, y'all late as fuck." He joked and Malaysia stood up next, slapping his arm then turned to Zuri.
"We can't even talk, we honestly didn't even know y'all was late." She stated, side eyeing Semaj who waved her off.
"We would've been here sooner if somebody ain't take all day inna' bathroom." Kel gave Zuri a knowing look and she just playfully rolled her eyes.
"Anyways, I wanna skate." Zuri dismissed him and took a seat on a nearby bench and slipped her skates on with Kels help. Semaj doing the same for Malaysia and the boys followed suit.
"Zuri gone buss ha' ass. She can't skate fa' shit." Semaj teased and Zuri flicked him off.
"Not too much, okay. It was my first time." Zuri said referring to the time she, Kel and Semaj went to a roller rink party as a farewell party thrown by the seniors of last year. Let's just say, Zuri left with a aching ass.
"Fuck on, Maj. Last time I rememba', you was grippin' the railin' half the time." All three burst into laughter while Malaysia chuckled, taking note of how playful they were with each other. Also feeling left out.
Zuri seeing the forlorn look on her face, she cleared her throat and stood up from the bench, damn near falling forward but luckily Kel caught her.
"Thanks," she gave him a smile. "Let's go."
Kel was about to stand too but Zuri held her hand out for Malaysia shocking everyone. Semaj glanced at Kel and Malaysia glanced at Semaj then Zuri.
"O-okay." She said and stood up, stumbling a bit but Zuri grabbed her hands and Malaysia chuckled. "Just like you, I can't skate fa' shit."
Zuri smirked. "Guess we gon' learn together." Then they skated off onto the rink, leaving the boys behind.
Semaj and Kel sat with amused looks.
"Look at my baby. She growin'." Kel cooed. Watching her be as social as she was just then warmed his heart.
"Ha' antisocial ass." Semaj threw in and Kel shook his head.
The two finally made their way onto the rink, trying to keep up with the girls, even though it wasn't that hard since they were going at a steady pace to prevent either one falling.
"You been off the grid fa' a minute." Semaj finally broke their concentration from the girls. Kel quickly glanced over at Semaj and cleared his throat.
"Yeah, I just...I'on know. I been..." Kel trailed off, trying to find the right words but he really couldn't think of a good enough reason for ghosting his best friend. They never went days without speaking or hearing from each other and it's been weeks. They only spoke unless they passing by on campus or quick phone calls and that was less than what the boys were used to. They were brothers. Kel hated how much he'd withdrew himself.
He didn't want to lose the bond he and Semaj had because their lives were going in different directions.
"I honestly can't give you a reason, man." Kel sighed and Semaj nodded.
"I think I know." He stated gaining Kels full attention, swerving around a little girl who fell and Semaj mugged her then looked around to see everyone else skating around her, causing Kel to chuckle.
"What you know?"
Semaj didn't say anything, instead he glanced infront of them and nodded his head at a particular someone, Kel frowning.
"And befe'e you think anything, I don't blame you. Shit, I would be cooped up in da' crib 24/7 and sayin' fuck the world if I had someone makin' me just as happy as Zuri makes you. I ain't gon' front and act like I'on feel some kind of way, cause we brotha's, but I would neva' reign down on you fa' being in love. Plus, I ain't neva' seen you 'dis bright. I'm really happy fa' you man." Semaj finally got what he'd been wanting to say off his chest. He knew Kel was feeling bad, the last thing Semaj wanted his bestfriend to do was regret choosing his heart.
Kel sighed and shook his head. "I—yeah. She do make me happy man, and...I can't even explain in words." Kel looked back at Zuri who was laughing uncontrollably while trying to help Malaysia off the floor who wouldn't cooperate cause she was laughing too. "That girl got my whole heart and right now, words can't, prolly won't ever express how far deep I am."
Semaj smirked at Kel. "You so lovesick, boy." Kel chuckled and waved him off. "But forreal, don't fa'get about me when y'all get married and move ta' the Caribbean's and have 5 kids."
Kel grinned at Semaj who started laughing. "Nigga, fuck you."
"Oh my god! Malaysia!" They heard Zuri's voice shout and laughter follow. They looked over at the girls to see them both on the floor now, trying to get up but couldn't stop laughing.
They skated over to them and stared down in amusement.
"Hell done happened?" Kel asked, extending both hands to help the girls stand while Semaj had pulled out his phone and took a picture watching them all fall back down.
"Maj, stop playin' and help me." Kel stood back up and after Semaj sobered up, they successfully helped the girls back up. They dusted themselves off.
"Y'all shoulda' never let two people who don't know how to skate, teach each other how to do it." Malaysia said, resting her hands on her hits, out of breath.
"That part." Zuri co-signed.
"Man, both of y'all can—" Zuri and Malaysia glared at Semaj prompting him to cut himself off and throw his hands up in surrender.
Kel shook his head and held his hands out for Zuri. "C'mon, mama. Imma teach you." Zuri happily grabbed his hands and they went off on their own while Semaj helped Malaysia.
They started off slow, Zuri keeping a steady pace infront of Kel with his hands on her hips, guiding her.
"Yeah, just glide one foot and push back— yup, just like 'dat. Why you made it seem so hard?" Kel chuckled seeing how fast she caught on.
"No, you just made it sound so easy to follow your instructions." She continued to keep a slow pace, feeling Kels hands feeling up and down her sides. "This is eas—no! Don't let go." She quickly said feeling his hands pull away, she grabbed them and pulled them around her waist.
Kel leaned forward, his lips brushing against her ear. "I won't, promise."
Shiver.
The couple were cuddled up in Zuri's small minimalistic apartment. After washing away the days festivities with hell like water, they were laying on a pallet on Zuri's living room floor, watching the night sky through the open doors of her balcony.
"Uhm..." Zuri said in discomfort when Kel started to move around between her legs as he lie on her stomach . He quickly looked up at her with a worried look.
"You straight?" He asked concern lacing his voice. Zuri leaned up on her elbows to make eye contact with him. The only light that surround them was from the crescent shaped moon and starry night sky.
She bit her bottom lip and nodded her head. "Yeah, just been having back pain for awhile and that fall from earlier might've made it worse." Kel quickly raised himself from her lap.
"Why you ain't say nothin'? Didn't they give you pills fa' shit like this?" Kel asked with sternness. After Zuri's accident, she suffered from a fractured neck, two ribs and her spine which was partly the reason for her temporary paralysis. Every time she brought up discomfort, pain or ache within her body, he took it seriously every time because the doctors did say there might be time where Zuri's legs gave out and became temporarily paralyzed so he made sure the both of them didn't overlook anything.
"Yeah, but—"
"There shouldn't be a but, Zuri." He cut her off with a blank face and emotionless tone. He wasn't too thrilled with the revelation and especially the fact she's been having back problems. Zuri pouted and looked down, staring at her palms. She hated when he acted like this towards her. Disappointment from anyone never settled well with her.
"I'm sorry." She said meekly which had made Kel face soften and stopped to calm down. He sighed and sat Indian style in-front of her and used his index finger to lift her head up by her chin.
"I'm not tryin' ta' hurt yo' feelin's ma, but you can't overlook things like that. You heard what them doctors said. I'm just—I don't want 'dat shit fa' you whether it's temporary or permanent. Hea' me?"
She looked across his beautiful, hazel brown eyes which always brought her comfort. "I do." Kel nodded and brought her in for a quick kiss.
He then released her and stood up from the floor pallet and held his hands out. Zuri looked between his hands and his eyes, confused.
"C'mon. I'm bouta treat you." He spoke lowly, looking down at her.
"Treat me to what?" Despite her curiosity, she took his hands and he expertly pulled her up from the ground.
"A massage." He said then kissed her nose which brought a bright smile on Zuri's lips.
Kel walked to the back of the apartment after instructing her to strip from her night gown, which would leave her in nothing but her black panties.
She was hesitant at first but realized it was only Kel who she loved and trusted and did as he said. When he returned he seen she was taking off her gown and quickly turned around so she could finish undressing. Zuri smiled at the gesture.
"Okay, I'm ready." Zuri spoke in a small voice, and if she wasn't nervous while tearing off her article of clothing, she definitely was now when Kel turned around and just stared at Zuri's entire backside in awe since she faced away from him. He knew Zuri had a body on her and although he had never seen her fully unclothed and tried to look away when she wore certain things, looking at her from behind with only underwear to cover her bottom had his mind racing with unholy thoughts.
"Damn, Zuri." He mumbled and licked over his lips. Zuri couldn't help but blush and finally turned around with her hands covering her small chest.
"Stop staring." She spoke shyly and Kel snapped out of it. He rubbed his hand down his face and walked towards Zuri. He placed a kiss on her cheek and took a seat back on the pallet and motioned for Zuri to sit in his lap. She straddled him, while keeping her chest covered and Kel could feel how tense her body was at the moment.
"Just relax fa' me mama. I got you." He said and it took her minute but she finally eased her nerves a bit and relaxed her body.
He pulled her forward so her body was leaned against his. He took the body oil he grabbed from the bathroom and lathered it onto his hands and didn't waste time placing his hands on Zuri's backside. The moment they made contact with her skin, Zuri shivered.
He deeply and expertly moved his hands along her back, applying pressure where needed and Zuri's body just seemed to melt. She needed this.
Zuri rested her cheek on Kels bare shoulder since he wasn't wearing a shirt and was in just pure bliss as his rough, callous free hands worked on her aching back. It was as if they were touching every single part of her body to point she couldn't help the moan that escaped her lips.
Kel didn't fight the smirk that played on his lips because just from hearing her low and quiet moans let him know he was doing a good job.
The young woman knew her man was skilled with his hands but he'd only ever massage her legs and feet since that's were most of the pain resided. She couldn't believe she passed up an opportunity for his hands to work their magic on other parts of her body.
"Kel..." Zuri mumbled in his ear when the ball on the palm of hands rubbed up and down her spine.
"Wassup mama?" He spoke lowly in her ears and Zuri faintly smiled at his voice. She was so far gone and relaxed that her hands were no longer covering her chest and she'd unconsciously pressed her body further into his and lazily wrapped her arms around his neck.
The soft music from Zuri's apple home device lowly played "Best Part" by H.E.R ft. Daniel and the Lakewood scented candles that burned on Zuri's tv stand set the mood.
Just as Zuri felt herself falling asleep, Kels euphonic voice played through her ears as he sang along with Jhene. Harmonizing with her.
"...Where you go I'll follow, no matter how far..."
He sang in a deep steady voice, which vibrated through Zuri's body. It wasn't until Daniel's verse where his voice plus the lyrics really did something to her.
"It's the sunrise
And those brown eyes, yes
You're the one that I desire
When we wake up
And then we make love
It makes me feel so nice"
He kept a slow and gentle rhythm as he continued to massage her back. The ache in her back no longer there but she didn't want the moment between them to end. Neither did he.
"You're my water when I'm stuck in the desert
You're the Tylenol I take when my head hurts
You're the sunshine of my life
I just wanna see how beautiful you are"
Zuri lifted her head from his shoulders, stopping his hands and making eye contact with Kel.
"You know that I see it
I know you're a star
Where you go I follow
No matter how far
If life is a movie
Then you're the best part, oh oh oh
You're the best part, oh oh oh
Best part
If you love me won't you say something..."
Their faces were merely centimeters apart so while Kel sang, their lips brushed against one another. Not being able to take the feeling she'd been fighting since she woke up next to Kel that morning, she connected her lips with his.
Kel tightly wrapped his arms around her waist and flipped them so Zuri was under him. The heated kiss never broke as she wrapped her legs around his waist, bringing his lower half pressed against hers. The only thing separating them were her thin piece of underwear and his briefs and basketball shorts.
Kel reluctantly pulled away from Zuri's lips and trailed kisses from her chin, to her neck down to her chest. Before proceeding he made eye contact with Zuri who was watching him intently, waiting or whatever was next.
"Can I?" he asked with his lips only inches away from their next destination. Zuri stared into his beautiful brown abyss that he called eyes and slowly nodded her head. Without hesitation, his lips attached to her dark brown, almost black like, areoles, flicking his tongue over her erect nipples.
Zuri didn't know what to expect at the feeling but this was better than she ever imagined. She'd never been touched in such a way, not even at her own hands but she was one hundred percent sure she wouldn't be able to touch the feeling Kel brought upon her.
A soft moan left her lips, she threw her head back as Kel switched and showed the same attention to the other breast. He then kissed down to her belly button until he was right above her panty line.
He made eye contact once again and was about to speak but Zuri beat him to it. "Don't stop." She said barely above a whisper and Kel smirked, slowly removing her panties. She lifted her hips to help him a bit.
This was it. Zuri thought. She didn't know what would come from this and just only hoped she enjoyed it. Never in a million years had she ever thought about letting someone see her in a sexual way. She was always reserved and couldn't care less about sex growing up but Kel somehow always have her this feeling that she tried hard to suppress but she didn't know how long she'd be able to bury it. So, this was it. She was letting the feeling run.
The butterflies in her stomach felt like attacks rather than flutters as Kel opened her thighs wider and stared down at her freshly waxed and dark labia. Moria had somehow convinced her to try a wax a few days before she went into labor. It hurt like hell.
"Yo' pussy so pretty, ma." Kel mumbled and Zuri blushed at the fact he was just staring at her. Kel was thinking about how wet she was. He'd barely done anything and she was leaking like no other.
Once again, Kel looked up at Zuri. "You sure?" He asked and Zuri slowly nodded her head. Kel kissed her inner thighs, teasing the young woman. She was ready to feel his mouth on her.
"Kel—oh." Zuri was about to start with him until she felt his tongue flick over her clit. He sent a long and wet lick from her opening to her clit before attaching his mouth and sucking up her leaking juices.
"F-fuck!" Zuri's voice came out shaky. She threw her head back, trying to comprehend the pleasure. It was nothing short of amazing.
Kel dipped his tongue in and out of her, loving the taste of her and just when Zuri looked down at him, his eyes were closed as if he was enjoying it.
The sound of him slurping and licking at her pussy could be heard along with "Pussy Fairy" by Jhene Aiko not to mention Zuri's quiet moans that she was trying to conceal.
"Lemme hea' you mama." Kel replaced his mouth with his thumb.
"I—oh. Shit!" Her mind was running wild. To the point where she couldn't form a sentence. Right when she felt a feeling in the pit of stomach, she also felt something entering her.
Kel had slowly slipped his middle finger into her wet pussy, penetrating her slowly all while keeping his eyes focused on her facial expressions. They were as pretty as she were.
"Kel." She moaned. She started to tweak with her hard nipples and threw her head back.
"Wassam, baby, dat feel good?" His voice was deep and gruff. Just then, he reattached his mouth onto her clit, sucking on it vigorously all while his finger moved in and out of her at a slow pace, keeping in mind to be gentle.
"Yes, fuck yes!" Zuri choked out and at this point her legs started to shake as her breathing started to leave her. Kel then added another finger and that drove Zuri over the top when he started to penetrate faster. She tried to close her legs but Kel uses his other hand to hold one down.
He moved his head side to side, her juices starting to cover the tip of his nose while running through his beard.
"Shit! Baby, I'm cu—" before the words could leave her mouth, the feeling in the pit of stomach exploded right out of her. Kel felt her clenching around his fingers while she screamed for him to stop but he wasn't letting up. She tried to pull away from but he used his free hand to hold her down in place.
"Oh my!" She drawled, her legs shaking and her voice getting caught in her throat. The amount of pleasure Kel was bestow upon her was becoming overwhelming, not to mention the overstimulation. She felt her eyes roll to the back of her head.
Kel ate her like his life depended on it, like it was his last meal. Despite her climaxing already, he wanted something more. He took his mouth off her clit, continuing to penetrate her faster and faster.
"You look so pretty, mama." He said watching as her eyes continued to roll back and the look on her face was one of pure pleasure. He leaned up and attached his lips onto hers, letting her taste herself in a sloppy kiss. Her eyes found their way onto his but she closed them and released a long and drawled moan when she felt that feeling return in the of her stomach but it was magnified this time.
Kel looked down to see her juices running down his hand but didn't stop knowing what was coming.
"Shit, cum fa' me. Let dat shit out." He coached her through what was about to be her second orgasm.
"I have—wha— Fuck!" Zuri's legs shook violently. She attached her hand around Kels wrist and released herself everywhere as Kel snatched his fingers out from inside her and rubbing her throbbing clit to help her ride it out. Watching her juices squirt.
"Thea' you fuckin' go, ma." He cooed watching her chest rise up and down and legs continue to shake. Zuri rolled her head to the side trying to catch her breath and understand what just happened. Kel brought her face towards him and kissed her deeply. He released her lips and licked his fingers clean of her while she watched him intently.
"You taste so good." He said pecking her lips over and over but Zuri was speechless. She was also trying to come down from her high.
She finally sat up on her elbows, still in a high and now tired, the lazy smile on her face and low eyes proving so.
"You—I ju—you know what, let's call it a night." She countered, the smug look on Kels handsome face not allowing her to want to speak on her thoughts.
"Whatever you say, love." He chuckled and kissed her lips.
