The Nitty Gritty 2 of 3

I prop us up against the headboard, she's resting on my chest sitting on my lap. She allowed me to feed her so I fed her some bacon and some fruit then hand her the mug of tea. I ate some food as she drank, we finished eating in silence just enjoying each other's presence. But I needed to tell her some things, like how I wanted her to stay here with me and how much I truly cared about her amongst other things. I really wanted to run my fingers through her hair so I slowly popped the rubber bands holding her ponytails together,

"What are you doing? I just got my hair done yesterday." She says pouting then I massaged her scalp. Her voice does sound much better now. That gave me an idea,

"How about every weekend we go to the spa. Would you like that, Mami?" She grins and says,

"That sounds like fun, but I've never been to a spa before Manny." I frown staring at her, not because she's never been to a spa, but because she didn't call me what I wanted her to call me. My friends and family call me that but to me she's more than family, she's my better half.

"Call me, Papi, okay baby that's all I want you to call me from now on." I say firmly to show her I'm serious. I hear her swallow hard, she nods and exhales before she turns and says,

"Ok Papi, you got it! But what will you call me?" She's giving me a sly smirk.

"My Keya, or Mami but my favorite is My Chocolate Princess." I say before I started tickling her sides and abdomen she's giggling like mad and trying to get away from me, I growl playfully at her, she giggles, "Papiii!"

"You make me so happy baby, I'm sooo glad I finally found you!" I picked her up turned her around and hugged her into my chest, nuzzling her neck, rubbing her. Everytime we touch I feel these crazy but pleasurable tingling sensations all through me. It's magnificent! Which brings me to my next request. Although she may protest, I'm still gonna ask.

"I know that you still do a whole lot for your family but I would love if you can stay over with me sometimes. It's so lonely here by myself and my siblings have their own lives to keep them busy. So they visit when they can but I understand that they have kids to raise and businesses to run." I tell her, she nods saying,

"I'm sure that Grammy wouldn't mind me staying over here with you at all. You heard her last night, she practically gave me to you!" She giggled. I love the sound of it.

"If anything, it'll most likely be the weekends though, and maybe we can do some holidays together?" She says excitedly.

"Unless you're gonna spend that time with your family?" She says shyly. I cup her face gently, staring into her eyes intensely,

"Mami, you are my family now and you come first in my life, do you understand me?" She needs to know just how important she is to me! Her eyes started swirling, the dark blue mixing with her caramel irises, it was breathtakingly beautiful.

Wow, he's dead ass serious about us being together. I've never been in a situation like this before. What do I do? 'Look, I think you should wait for our mate! But I'm getting nothing but good vibes from this guy,' Ja'el says confidently. I trust her. I don't know why I just do. So...

"Ok I believe you and I understand, it's just all happening a little faster than I expected is all." I wrap my arms around him. He growls softly. I just had to ask, "Papi, why do you growl at me? It's so... weird, are you mad?" He looked puzzled then said,

"No, I'm not mad, Sweetie, and I honestly didn't start growling until you touched me that day in my Tios' restaurant. Truth be told, my whole life changed when you touched me, and I wouldn't change it for the whole world!"

His kiss was tender and loving. It melted away whatever doubts I had and replaced it with positive vibes. What was he doing to me..? I slowly, yet quickly felt myself falling rapidly in love with him. Being with him just feels right!

------☆------

I broke our kiss slowly and looked deeply into her eyes,

"I want us eventually to get married and have kids. All of my siblings have kids and are married. And I felt left out and alone till I found you. You make my dreams a possibility and a reality, Mami! If you stay with me, I'll make sure to love, cherish, protect, and honor you while supplying all of your needs."

I say wholeheartedly, and I meant everything I said. Fuck it, I'm just gonna come right out and say it!

"Keya, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you allow me to show you what life with me can be like?" Her eyes were swirling again. It was mesmerizing.
