Cimani.
"Ezriah, Ermias, and Flocko! Come eat." I yelled through the air bnb as I opened the bag of plastic plates. Ezriah and I had quite a time last night so breakfast was being served kind of late today. It was going on 2 p.m and I was feeling hungry so I decided to cook.
The first person to come down the stairs was Ezriah, a smile on his face as he made his way over to me. He slid behind me, wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek from behind. I giggle as he pressed his erection against my butt. "Oh no. I'm still sore from last night. You're on time out for right now buddy."
Ezriah sucked his teeth as he placed kisses on my neck. "I can't get enough of you baby, I want that shit every day." I felt my cheeks get hot as I plated the food as he held me from behind. "Especially since it's mine now."
Although I was now officially his girlfriend, it didn't feel any different. From the jump we were doing relationship things which is why I tried to tell him that the 'situation-ship' we agreed upon was pointless. "Stop being nasty and eat." I said as I smacked his head playfully.
Ermias made his way into the kitchen, seemingly on the phone with someone who I assumed was Ashley. It better had been her.
"I know yall asses not in here being nasty, yall should've got enough of that shit last night." He said as he scrunched his face up. "Bae, look at these two love birds." He laughed as he flipped his camera so that it was facing us.
Ashley laughed also "Leave them alone Hussle, they're enjoying their time together."
"Yeah but they ain't gotta be so loud." He said as he side eyed the both of us. "They ain't got shit on us though." He said as he laughed
I waved him off as I slid his plate to him. "Boy bye, eat this food and shut up."
"Cimani I love you bookie, but not too much on my man." Ashley joked as she playfully grilled me through the camera, earning a laugh from everyone.
"Whatever girl, tell your man to leave mine alone." I said as I stood on my tip toes and placed a kiss on Ezriah's lips.
We sat down at the table and began to eat as Ashley and Ermias held their own seperate conversation over the phone. After a few minutes Flocko made his way into the kitchen, I avoided eye contact as much as possible because I didn't forget the fact that he tried to talk to me before Ezriah did. I didn't want to make anything awkward but I couldn't help but to feel a little weird being around him, since I haven't seen him since that night at my job.
The tension in the room was thick, and I didn't know why but I knew it had something to do with the three of them so I decided not to speak on it. "Here." I said as I handed Flocko his plate, he shot me a smirk as he took the plate from me. "Good lookin' ma."
Ezriah turned his head towards us, irritation evident in his face. He looked as if he wanted to say something, but Nipsey shot him a look. I raised my eyebrow as I sat back down to finish eating my food. A part of me wanted to be nosey, but I decided against it.
Ezriah whispered something under his breath, which caused Flocko's head to snap in his direction. "Speak up nigga." Flocko said as he started to eat his food.
Ezriah sucked his teeth. "I said why you eating my girl food if you just had so much to say about her yesterday?"
I tucked my lips in as I titled my head. "Wait, what?"
Nipsey sighed as he took a sip of his orange juice. "We not even about to do this." He said as he wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Flocko called you a bitch, and Saint didn't take it lightly. Nobody was really talking shit about you Ci, you know we ain't goin' for that."
Ezriah shook his head. "Nobody should be calling her out of her name, family or not. Ci let's go." Ezriah said as he grabbed my arm, pulling me upstairs to the room he was staying in.
I could tell he didn't want to argue with Flocko in front of me, he never wanted to show me his bad side which I respected. Once we made it to his room I closed and locked the door, placing my plate on the dresser.
"What was that about?" I asked, genuinely curious.
Ezriah shook his head as he sat on the bed. "Nothing. I thought you weren't gonna come yesterday because I asked you to be my girlfriend and that nigga started cracking jokes and shit, so you know I had to check him."
I let out a sigh as I made my way towards him, sitting next to him on the bed. "Why did you think that babe? You didn't think I would want to be with you?"
He shrugged his shoulders, not responding. I scoffed as I crossed my arms over my chest. "Ezriah I can't do this if you're not going to communicate with me. I have no problem telling you how I feel, why is it so hard for you to open up to me?"
His facial expression softened as he face palmed his self. "I don't know Ci. I'm afraid of getting hurt, so yes I didn't think you were coming yesterday because I don't think I'm good enough for you."
His words made me frown, I grabbed his face with both hands making him look at me. "And why wouldn't you be? Ezriah I don't want to be with anybody else but you. You're more than enough for me, literally." I said referring to his dick, causing him to chuckle as he stared up at me.
"We gotta have better communication if we're going to make this relationship work. Okay?"
He nodded as he wrapped his hands around the small of my back, pulling me closer and placing soft kisses on my lips. "You so perfect." He said as he continued to kiss me.
I kissed him back, my hands still on his face. Pulling away, I examined every feature of his face, something I caught myself doing often. I would never get over how handsome he was, and now he was all mine. "No, you are." I said as placed one more kiss on his lips.
I pulled away from the kiss with a smile. "Wanna help me take these braids out?"
He raised his eyebrow at me, "What you doing to ya hair? Cause I know you switch hair styles like clothes."
I let out a laugh as I made my way to the dresser, grabbing a comb and a pair of scissors. I brought the trash can closer to the bed as I took a seat. "It's this hair stylist I been following for a while now, she does hair in LA. I've always said whenever I come back out here I was gonna let her do my hair."
Ezriah nodded his head as he scooted back on the bed, so that I was now sitting in between his legs. Passing him the comb, I started to cut the braids so that it'll be easier to take out since they were long. "Well what you doing to your hair for tonight? I wanna take you out."
I smiled as he started to comb out the braids, tossing the hair into the garbage can. I sat back a little, just wanting to be a little closer to him. "Umm.. I think I'm going to throw it in a ponytail. I got this nice white dress and I think it'll look nice on me if my hair was up."
"I love when you wear your hair up. Especially when you bare faced, them lil baby hairs be on point. Eyebrows nice, face on ten. I love that shit."
I couldn't help but to smile at his comment, I personally loved my natural face also. I did like to get done up at times also though. "Thank you baby."
Ezriah threw a piece of hair out before grabbing another braid to take out. "You know what one of my favorite features of yours is?"
I nodded my head, intrigued by his question. "What is it?"
"Your eyes." He said lowly. "Them shits captivating, you got them doe eyes. Can't front, from the first day I saw you that's what drew me in. Them big, brown eyes. That ass was right after though, I was like damn she thick as hell." He said laughing lowly.
I let out a laugh also. "Wow, I've always thought my eyes were just regular brown eyes..I guess not."
I stared at the wall deep in thought as I unraveled the braid that was in my hand. "Want to know what my favorite feature of you is?"
"Hell yeah." He said making me giggle.
"Your smile. I love it, it's so sexy. I can't explain it but it's like whenever you smile at me, my heart skips a beat." I laughed. "I know it sounds corny but that's genuinely how I feel. When I first seen you smile, I wanted to fuck you then and there."
I paused for a minute as I felt his hand on my thigh, I don't know why I brought up fucking around this horny ass man. "No.. Saint."
He placed soft kisses on my neck, and shoulders as he pulled me closer to him. I bit down on my lip softly as I felt myself getting aroused. I knew me having a man this fine meant that our sexual desire for each other would have us fucking like rabbits. I didn't mind the sex one bit, I loved it actually. I did want us to slow down though.
"Saint..wait baby." I said as I pulled away from him caressing and kissing on me. I turned around so that I was facing him and he had a bright smile on his face.
I laughed, playfully slapping him across his face. "Cut it out." I said softly. "I don't want our relationship to just be sexual."
He let out a scoff as he sat me on his lap. "Aint nothing wrong with a little sex. That's what keeps the relationship healthy."
I rolled my eyes as his hand traveled up my thigh. I hated how my body betrayed me when it came to him. "I'm still tired from last night though. And that's not the only thing that keeps the relationship healthy. Asshole."
He looked up at me as he sucked his teeth. "I know that Cimani. I'm just saying don't think I'm just with you for sex. Sex is normal in relationships, just cause ya' last nigga wasn't putting down like how I was don't mean you gotta run from me baby." He said with a smirk.
"Shut up." I said a I scrunched my nose up at him. "I'm not running I just, I want us to connect on another level. Not just sexually."
Ezriah took in everything I was saying as he gazed into my eyes. I could tell he felt bad about what had just transpired so I grabbed his hands and pulled him into me. "Dont feel bad for wanting to fuck me Saint, you're a man it's literally your nature. I'm just saying I don't want that to be the only time you enjoy being with me.."
My eyes searched his and I could tell just by his facial expression that he was now confused. "Wait, Ci huh?" He said as he released his hands from mine. "Have I been making you feel that way?" He asks as he stared back into my eyes.
I shook my head. "No, no! I'm just in my head about us being in a relationship I don't know."
"I enjoy being with you, even if we just chopping it up. I love hearing you talk, shit I even catch myself watching you sleep sometimes.. I don't care if we don't fuck for weeks Cimani, I enjoy your presence. I enjoy being with you. I love y-" he started but then stopped.
"I- I love spending time with you whether we fucking, fighting, or fucking salsa dancing. Okay?"
My heart skipped a beat as I heard him stumble over his words. He loved me? Hearing him almost slip up made me come to the realization of the way we've both been feeling all along. Here I was in denial thinking that Jared was the only boy I've ever loved in life, whole time I've been falling in love with the one standing in front of me for a few months now.
Whether we said yet or not, we both knew the love was there. I was quiet because I didn't want to put him on the spot, I just placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Let's finish this." Was all I said as I took a seat on the bed, sitting in between his legs like I was before.
Omniscient.
The silence in the room was eerie, both of them knew how they felt but neither of them had the courage to say it. Ezriah's reasoning being that he wasn't sure if she felt the same. A part of him felt as if he just put his fear of getting hurt aside, maybe he'd be able to confess his love to her.
He was on of the toughest niggas in New York, people were terrified of how ruthless he was. To them? Ezriah wasn't afraid of a thing, not even death. Yet here he was, a street nigga who didn't mind putting a bullet in a nigga with the quickness—scared to admit that he was very much in love with that girl who sat in front of him.
He was also a little embarrassed to admit he loved her, in his mind he was the main one preaching about not wanting a relationship, he thought Cimani would laugh in his face if he admitted he loved her.
Cimani on the other hand, was ecstatic. She knew she loved him, her feelings for him were strong since they met. She just thought maybe it was too soon for everything. She didn't know if she was ready to admit it either.
As they sat in silence, taking out Cimani's braids the tension in the air was thick. Ezriah's erection kept hitting her lower back as he reached to throw the hair out. "How many you have left?" She asked starting a conversation between the two.
"Uhh." Ezriah said as he counted the amount of braids he had left. "Four." He said as he started to take out the fourth one.
"I got two." She said as she ran her fingers through her curly hair.
Ezriah eyes couldn't help but to take in the head full of hair she had as she ran her fingers through it. He knew they had fucked for a while last night, and he didn't want to wear her out but he wanted her bad. Since he couldn't bring him self to verbally tell her that he loved her, he wanted to show her.
Cimani scooted back a little bit as she tried her best to contain herself. She wasn't even facing this man and just his touch alone, had her hot. Ezriah finished taking out the rest of her braids and ran his fingers through her hair. His front was now pressed against her back, his hands massaging her scalp as they both breathed heavily.
Their chemistry was so intense, and neither of them knew why. Cimani's hand rested on his thigh as she closed her eyes and relaxed into his arms. Deciding to give into her desires, she grabbed Ezriah's hand and placed it back onto her thighs.
Ezriah's eyebrow raised as he inched his hand closer to her pussy. She slowly caressed his thigh as she scooted back a little, giving him the okay to touch her there. He slowly slipped his hands into her pants, letting out a low groan as he felt how wet she was.
His fingers caressed her folds, slipping through as he trailed his way up to her clit. Cimani opened her legs a little more for him as he massaged the spot that drove her crazy. "Mm." She moaned lowly, taking into consideration the fact that the entire house heard them yesterday.
"Take these off." Ezriah said lowly as he slipped his hands from under her shorts. Cimani wasted no time kicking the shorts off of her, now only in her red lace panties. Once she seen the look on Ezriah's face, she slipped those off too.
Ezriah slipped his shirt from over his head, and pushed Cimani back so that she was laying on her back. Opening her legs, he ducked his head down and wasted no time attaching his plump lips to her clit.
Cimani's breath hitched as she threw her head back, the feeling of him sucking on her clit was intense. Her back arched as she bit down on her lip.
Ezriah happily licked up her juices, his pace slow as if he was making out with her pussy. She tried to contain her moans as he slipped two of his fingers inside of her, "Ooouu, shit." She whispered as she sat up on her elbows, looking down at Ezriah as he went to work.
Her chest heaved up and down as she bit down at her lip, the sight of his beautiful face in her pussy had her toes curling. She was close to cumming as she bucked her hips against his face. Ezriah held her legs up by wrapping his arms around her thighs, he looked up at her as he lifted his head up, locking eyes with her as he lifted her up a little. He licked from her clit to her ass, and then back up.
Cimani's legs trembled as she tried her best to hold in her orgasm. "Saint.. I'm gonna cum." She moaned as her mouth formed into an 'O' shape as her eyebrows furrowed.
That only made Ezriah bury his face deeper into her pussy. Cimani felt her stomach knot as her legs trembled. She let out a few soft moans as she felt her pussy contracting from the way Saint had his lips wrapped around her clit. Ezriah placed a soft kiss on her pussy before pulling his face away, his beard wet as he stared up at her.
"I love watching you cum." He said shamelessly as he placed another kiss on Cimani's other set of lips. Cimani laid back with her hands above her head as her body shuttered a little. Saint never failed to satisfy her, in every aspect.
Ezriah stood over her, taking in her beauty. He didn't even care if he didn't get off, his dick was throbbing for her but he seen it in her face that she was tired. Leaning down, he placed a kiss on her lips and then her nose, and her forehead. He could tell by the look in her eyes that she was reminiscing about what had just occurred.
He loved that he made her feel good, he wanted her to know that he loved her. Sex was the only way he knew how to express his love, a coping mechanism he had picked up after the situation with his father. He was trying to break out of that habit though, especially after the conversation him and Cimani had.
...
"Cimani! Let's go." Ezriah shouted as he adjusted the Patek Phillpe on his wrist. He sported a pair of black Purple-Brand skinny jeans, a black and white Off-White T-shirt, and a pair of Off-White 'for Walking' black and white sneakers.
"I'm coming!" Cimani shouted from the bathroom as she stood in the mirror, fixing her edges. She was satisfied with how her look came out for the night. She wore a white bodycon dress that clung to every curve, a pair of pink, mint green, and light blue pastel slides and a light green Chanel bag to match the shoes.
Her hair was up in a curly ponytail that was in the middle of her head. She opted for a no makeup look for tonight, she loved that Ezriah made her appreciate her natural beauty.
Once she was done with her edges she applied a little bit of mascara before hitting the light in the bathroom and making her way out. Ezriah sat in front of the full body mirror, examining his outfit. Cimani applied a little lipgloss before she picked up her phone and made her way towards him.
"I'm ready." She said as she checked herself out in the mirror. Ezriah's eyes examined her from head to toe. He couldn't help but to lick his lips as he took in her appearance.
The dress she wore complimented her body, and her skin in his eyes. "You look beautiful." He said as he placed a kiss on her cheek. She smiled. "You look great too ."
Ezriah couldn't help but to notice the picture that was displayed on her phone, her brightness high enough for both of them to see. "Damn, you so pretty baby. Send me that."
"Stop it." Cimani blushed as she sent the picture to his phone. She didn't expect him to do anything with it, but to her surprise he uploaded it onto his instagram story.
Cimani laughed at his caption, she sometimes forgot about their seven year age difference. Being that her and Ezriah were born in two different eras, she always teased him about being an 'Old head' he still used hashtags and barely knew how to work instagram.
"Babe, you're such an old head." She laughed as they made their way outside to the car he was renting.
Ezriah sucked his teeth. "I'm only thirty, I'm not that much older than you. And plus hash tags still in style, right?"
Cimani let out another laugh as she put on her seat belt. "Notttt really.." she said dragging out her words.
The ride to the restaurant was smooth, Ezriah played some music as he drove and in no time they pulled up to LA Prime, a popular steak house.
Ezriah didn't hesitate to open Cimani's door for her, grabbing her hand and closing the door behind her. They walked into the restaurant hand in hand. They were seated in no time, they sat at a booth right across from each other.
Cimani wasted no time picking up a menu after she told the waiter to bring her a cup of ice water with lemon. Saint on the other hand was scrolling through his instagram, looking at the dosage of DM's that he was receiving.
Most of them were from people being nosey, a few haters, and others were complimenting Cimani. "You think it was too early for that?" Cimani asked him as she seen what had his attention.
Ezriah shook his head as he took a sip of his water. "Nah, what we waiting for? We together as of today, December 16th, 2023. If anything this was the perfect time to post you."
Cimani couldn't help the smile that grew, she finally felt appreciated. "Look at you, Mr. 'I don't want a relationship.' I honestly wanna know, what changed your mind?"
Before Ezriah could answer, he was cut off by the waiter coming back. "You guys ready to order?" He asked as he held his notepad in his hand.
Cimani glanced down at the menu, already knowing what she wanted. "Yeah, can I get the Rib eye steak, with mashed potatoes and asparagus?"
Ezriah chimed in. "I'll get the same, I want the lobster Mac and cheese on the side though."
The waiter nodded as he wrote down their order. "How would you like your steak?"
"Medium well." They said in unison causing them to cut their eyes at each other.
"Perfect, your order will be out shortly." The waiter said as he made his way to the kitchen to put the order in.
Ezriah took another sip of his water as he glanced over at Cimani. He was thinking of the right way to answer her question without sounding like a dumb ass. "Honestly, my mind been made up. That night at the club when I seen you with him. I don't know that shit made me feel some kind of way."
"Not even that, whenever it's just me and you chopping it up, watching movies, sleeping together every night I just felt myself falling for you. I knew I wanted you to be mine for a while now, I was just scared to be in a relationship because of what happened in the past." Cimani's face softened as she took in his words. This was the most he had ever expressed his feelings to her, and she was glad he was finally opening up to her.
"Wow. Thats the most I've ever heard you talk about your feelings." Cimani stated as she looked at him with a glimmer in her eyes. "I'm glad you trust me enough to want to be with me. What you've been through in the past is something no one should have to, I could imagine how hard it is for you to trust women."
Ezriah nodded as he bit a piece of the bread that was on the table. "Yeah.. I was fucked up for a little minute behind that shit. But in all honesty, that situation opened my eyes. I'm glad I'm working on my communication skills and shit though, cause I want us to work out. For real."
"Me too." Cimani said as she placed her hand on top of his. "Oh. I almost forgot to tell you.. Jared came to my job the other day." She could see by Ezriah's facial expression he didn't like the sound of that, she kept her hand over his as she continued. "But, I shut him down and told him to leave me alone. For good."
Ezriah scoffed, "And you think he really will?"
Cimani shrugged, knowing the answer but not willing to say it out loud. "I don't know, but what I do know is I don't want either of you to end up dead because of me."
Saint couldn't help but to roll his eyes at her words. "Just know it ain't gon be me, long as he leave you alone I don't got no issue with his scrawny ass."
Cimani shook her head as she sat back in her seat, folding her arms over her chest. "Saint. Promise me you won't hurt him."
"But what if he ends up hurting you? What im pose to do then huh?"
Ezriah's question made Cimani's heart race, Jared didn't have a history of putting his hands on her but she knew if he did it once he probably wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Still, she didn't want anyone dead because of her. She didn't want to lose her man, and she didn't want Jared's mother to lose her only son.
"I know how to protect myself Saint. Trust me."
"Do you though?" Ezriah challenged as he glared at her. "Ever shot a gun?"
Cimani let out a scoff as she sipped some of her ice water. "Yes, but thats besides the point. Just promise me you won't hurt him?"
"Did you make that nigga promise like how you making me?" He asked with an annoyed expression on his face.
Cimani scoffed as she gave him a 'nigga please' look. "Ezriah please, if it came down to it you know who has the upper hand in situations like these. I heard about you in the streets Saint. You're not an easy opponent to be up against."
Ezriah sat quietly as he decided he couldn't argue with the truth. "Now, promise me you won't kill him?"
He didn't want to start their relationship off with lies, but he knew if he didn't promise her that he wouldn't hurt little bitch boy, then he wouldn't hear the end of it. A part of him wanted to let her know that whatever he was on, is whether or not he enjoyed his free will to live. Because when it came to her, he didn't mind taking anyone's life.
"I promise."
...
