Beyond A Crush Read online

  I smiled at her. "I don't know."

  "Yes you do, tell me."

  "I picked it because I wanted to see if you can take it. I've been wanting to use it for months, but I was too shy to ask."

  Simone kissed the back of my hand. "You know I will do anything you want sexually. Don't ever be afraid to ask me love. I want to please you just like you please me."

  We laid in bed for about an hour talking. We finally got up, jumped in the shower, got dressed... again, and went to the kitchen. I went to the fridge and got us some water. Everyone was outside swimming. It looked like they were partying without us. Simone and I went outside to hang. My brother was barbecuing. Terri was drinking and dancing by the pool. My mom and dad were chilling in the hot tub. Simone turned the music up and started dancing with Terri. I went to help my brother on the grill.

  "We all heard you and Simone sis. No one wants to hear ya’ll getting it in." Beldon said as he started laughing.

  "Whatever. You're just jealous because I have a sexy ass girlfriend."

  Beldon looked at Simone, then gave me a fist bump, "You're right. She is bad as hell."

  I walk over to my mom and dad and get into the hot tub.

  "I need a hot tub." My dad said. "It's good for my joints."

  "Your birthday is in a couple months. I can make that happen."

  My dad smiled, "You sure do spoil me" He gave me a kiss on the cheek.

  My mom looked at me and rolled her eyes.

  "What did I do?"

  "You need to be more discreet when you have company at your house. We all heard you and Simone. I raised you better than that, so try to have some decency."

  I got out of the hot tub and went into the house. I was pissed! Simone came in after me.

  "What's going on?"

  "My mom! She's so freaking judgmental. I am so tired of her. Everyone heard us making love and she's the one who has to say something about it. She told me to have some decency. She gets on my damn nerves!"

  Simone started to chuckle. "I'm sorry love. It's my fault. I should've listened to you."

  "No babe, it's her. This is our house. I am so glad she's leaving after my birthday party. I can't take being around her. We used to get along so well, but ever since I told her I was a lesbian and you were my girlfriend, she has become a bitch. I'm through with her. If she can't accept me for who I am or that you and I are together, I can't be around her. I'm done talking to her. She will no longer have a daughter."

  Simone pulled me close to her and wiped my eyes.

  "It will get better. You have to give her some time love. Being a mother myself, I can understand what she's going through. She doesn't know how to communicate with you anymore. She sees you as the person you used to be. That's all. Give her a little time. Trust me."

  Simone and I went back outside. I went over to my mom and hugged her. She looked at me like I was crazy. Despite what my mother said, she's still my mother.

  I invited some more of my friends over and we partied all night. We had the music pumping and the drinks flowing. My mom and dad went to bed early, thank God. My brother was flirting with Terri all night. He's always had a crush on her. Too bad it won't go anywhere. Simone walks up to me and pulls me close to her. She starts grinding on me. Her hands were all over my body.

  She whispered in my ear, "Happy birthday love."

  I looked at my watch and it was midnight. I started jumping up and down singing, "it's my birthday… it's my birthday." Everybody jumped in chanting it's my birthday. I'm surprised our neighbors didn't call the police on us. Around three in the morning, Simone and I finally got in the bed. We were so drunk, we fell asleep with our clothes on.

  We woke up around nine in the morning still fully dressed. I opened my eyes and Simone was staring at me.

  She smiled at me. "Hello birthday girl."

  I smiled back at her, "Thank you babe. I would kiss you, but I really need to brush my teeth."

  She laughed, "Me too.

  Simone and I got up and got dressed for the day. We went to the kitchen where we found my mom and dad cooking breakfast.

  "Happy Birthday!" They both sang as they gave me a bear hug.

  "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said smiling ear-to-ear.

  "What are you all cooking?" Simone asked.

  "Any and everything you can think of... bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, waffles, hash browns, fried potatoes and onions." My dad said as he chewed on a piece of bacon.

  "Thank you guys, for cooking. I am starving." Simone grabbed some plates out of the cabinet.

  I sat at the table while Simone made my plate. My brother and Terri walked in the kitchen.

  "Damn it smells good in here. Terri hook me up with a plate." Beldon shouted.

  Terri looked at him and rolled her eyes, "Get it yourself lazy."

  We all sat at the table eating and talking about the impromptu party from last night. It felt good having both of our families here. I never thought I would ever be sitting next to the woman who stole my heart fourteen years ago. My life is complete.

  <><><>

  When Simone and I walked into the restaurant, all eyes were on her. Simone looked like a goddess. Her dress was fierce. She had on a tight, short black dress that was cut low in the front. You could see her breasts slightly. The back of her dress was low cut as well. She looked so sexy. A couple of men walked by us. They were about to say something to her, but Simone slid her hand in mine. They got the hint that she was with me. God how I love this woman. I was looking good too. I had on a black, fitted, custom made suit and some wingtips on. We looked like movie stars. The host took us to our dinner party. As soon as I walked in, everyone started singing happy birthday. I was so surprised and moved. It bought tears to my eyes. After the birthday song, I gave a toast.

  "I want to thank everyone for coming out and celebrating me." I started laughing and everyone joined in. I took Simone's hand so she could stand next to me. "I want everyone to know how lucky and blessed I am to have Simone in my life. She is definitely the best thing that has ever happened to me."

  I caressed the side of her face and kissed her passionately. Everyone clapped and cheered. Even my mother. Simone was beaming the rest of the night. Dinner was awesome! The food and drinks were incredible. Everyone was enjoying themselves. During the course of the meal, I opened some of my gifts. Simone had a little box wrapped up. I opened it and screamed. There were the black diamond earrings I was eyeing a week ago. I hugged and kissed her. This was truly one of the best birthdays ever.

  The party was coming to an end. The restaurant was closing soon. Simone and I were getting ready to leave. I excused myself and went to the bathroom. As I was washing and drying my hands, an attractive woman walks in. She walks up to me.

  "You don't remember me do you?"

  I looked at her face. "Yes I remember you."

  She lifted her skirt to show me she had no panties on. "The last time we were in a bathroom together you banged the hell out of me with those lovely fingers."

  I looked at her confused. "What are you doing?"

  "I want you to do me again, just like you did before."

  "That's not going to happen."

  I can't believe this is the woman I was with over a year ago. I tried to walk around her to leave, but she blocked me. She got on her knees and reached for my zipper. As soon as she does this, Simone walks in. She looks at the woman on her knees and sees she has no panties on. She then looks at me and runs out the bathroom. I pushed the woman to the floor and ran after Simone. She ran to the car, jumped in and started to leave. I jumped in front of the car and she stopped.

  "Simone... wait please! It's not what you think. I know it looks bad, but I did nothing with that woman. I'm just as surprised as you are. You know I would never do anything to hurt you... to hurt our relationship. You know this!"

  Simone put the car in park and I got in. She drove to a secluded area overlooking the city. It was a spot we used t
o go to when we first started dating. She turned the car off and stared out the window. I sat in silence with her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes.

  "Simone I did not do anything with that woman! I was trying to get out of there. You have to believe me. You know I would never do anything like that."

  "I know. Seeing her on the floor grabbing at you... I..." Simone trailed off as she started crying.

  "Don't cry babe." I grabbed her hand and kissed it.

  I handed her some Kleenex and she wiped her eyes.

  "I'm sorry for ruining your birthday. I didn't mean to run out like that."

  "It's fine babe. Let's just talk about it and put this behind us."

  Simone shook her head in agreement.

  "The woman in the bathroom was the woman from the bar last year. I didn't know she was in the restaurant. She came in the bathroom and started coming on to me. Simone, I love you too much to EVER cheat on you."

  "I know love. I know. Sometimes I wonder will you still want me when I'm old and grey. There's so many young women your age who would love to be with you. I just want to make sure I'm not standing in the way."

  I shook my head at Simone. "That's crazy talk babe."

  I got out of the car and went over to Simone's side. I opened the door, took her hand, and helped her out. We walked over to a bench and sat down.

  "Simone, I want you to picture us years from now. What do you see? I see us... together... loving on one another... married and enjoying our lives."

  I reach into my pocket and pull out a small, silver wrapped box with a bow. She look at me surprised. She covers her face with her hands as I get on my knee.

  "What are you doing Jamie?"

  "Simone I've loved you since I was sixteen. I have been in many relationships, but they never lasted. The reason they didn't last is because you always had my heart. Even if you didn't know it. I don't want to live my life without you. I love you Simone. I love everything about you. I love your smile. I love that sexy thing you do with your tongue." Simone laughed. "I love how you love me and make me feel. You add to my happiness. You encourage me. You give yourself to me. You see me."

  Simone had tears rolling down her face. I open the box and take the 5 carat ring out.

  "You talk about these young women I could be with, I already have my young woman." Simone blushed. "Simone you are my forever. Will you marry me?"

  Simone grabbed my tie and pulled me to her lips. She said yes. She kissed me like her heart was filled with joy. I put the ring on her finger.

  "I love this ring! I don't even want to know how much you spent on it. It's perfect." She kissed me again.

  "I'm glad you like it. Terri helped me pick it out."

  Simone said surprisingly, "She did. She knows?"

  "Yes she knows. I told her I wanted to marry you, but I needed her blessing and she said yes. She said she could see the love and how happy you are."

  When we got home, everyone was sleep. Simone grabbed a bottle of wine and two glasses. She whispered, "Let's go celebrate."

  Chapter 8

  I've been working long hours this month due to a project I'm heading. Being a department head has its ups and downs. I've been so tired lately. I haven't made love to Simone all week. She tells me she understands, but this is new for us. We've never had this long of a stretch not making love to each other. I felt so bad working these long hours, I decided to surprise her. I told her earlier this week I was taking her to Punta Cana. She was so excited! One more hour to go and my vacation starts. I can't wait!

  <><><>

  I walked in the house and our luggage was stacked by the front door. I see someone is ready to go. I called Simone's name, but I didn't get a response. I went to our room and Simone was in the shower. I took my clothes off and joined her. I opened the shower door and she kissed me.

  "I see you're packed and ready to go. Do you need that many bags?"

  "Yes I do." she said.

  Simone lathered my breasts with her hands. "We better not start, or we'll miss our flight"

  Simone whined, "Do we have time for a quickie?"

  "Nope." I slapped Simone on the butt as I got out of the shower.

  "I packed the 10 inch". When we get to Punta Cana, you better blow my back out. My body is craving your touch."

  I started laughing hard. "I got you. Now let’s get going before we miss our flight."

  <><><>

  Punta Cana was beautiful! When we got to the hotel, they had drinks and refreshments waiting for us at check-in. Simone looked at me with amazement. I grabbed her hand and kissed it. Before we went to our room, we walked out back to look at the beach. The white sand and turquoise water was breath taking.

  "Simone, you ever had sex on the beach?"

  "No I haven't. Have you?"

  "No, but it's something I'd like to do."

  Simone winked at me. "I think we can make that happen."

  Simone pulled me close to her and kissed me on the cheek. People in the lobby were staring at us. She whispered in my ear how much she wanted me. We stepped into the empty elevator. We were about to kiss until someone jumped in. She looked at the both of us and smiled. She was attractive and looked around Simone's age.

  "Are you two together?" she asked.

  Simone pulled me closer to her. "Yes we are."

  I never thought of Simone as possessive, but she damn sure let this woman know I was hers.

  "Cool! Some ladies and I are getting together tonight on the beach. If you're not busy, please come out and hang with us. By the way, my name is Michelle."

  "Nice to meet you Michelle. I'm Simone and this is my fiancé, Jamie."

  "We'll try to make it out tonight." I said.

  "Great! We'll be out on the beach down from the resort. If you see a bonfire, that's us."

  Michelle got off on the third floor.

  "She's cute."

  Simone gave me a look like "don't play with me". I laughed and grabbed her just as the elevator doors opened. I opened the door to our room. Simone walked in. She turned around and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. She couldn't speak. She held her hand over her mouth. She was not expecting a luxury penthouse suite. The penthouse had several rooms. The bedroom overlooked the ocean. The windows opened out to the patio. The patio was huge with a pool attached to it. The living room area had a bar that was fully stocked with liquor, beer, wine, water and juice. And the bathroom, OMG! The bathroom was so damn sexy! The tub was big enough for four people. The shower had five shower heads and a sitting area. Simone walked over and grabbed me by my shirt and kissed me with so much passion and joy. She pushed me against the wall. Tears were running down her face.

  "Why do you love me so much?"

  "Because I do Simone. You are my world."

  Simone stepped back from me and begin to undress. I couldn't take my eyes off her. I could tell by the look in her eyes she wanted me desperately. She took her time taking her clothes off. She took my hand and put it inside her panties. She was beyond wet. We started kissing while I was rubbing her. She undid my tie and started taking my clothes off. Every touch from Simone had my body on fire. She grabbed both sides of my panties and pulled them down to the floor as she kneeled in front of me. She kissed and licked the inside of my thighs. I brushed her hair with my hands. Simone opened my legs wide enough to stick her fingers in me. Her fingers felt so good. She pumped in and out of me and flicked my clit with the tip of her tongue. I played in her hair as she licked me. She pulled her fingers out of me and sucked each one as she stared at me. She stood up and kissed me. I could taste myself as I sucked on her tongue. Simone turned me around aggressively. She planted kisses all over my neck as she grind on my butt.

  "I can't feel you babe. Take your panties off."

  Simone took her panties off and pushed her body against mines. She started grinding me again. Our breathing was heavy. Simone had one hand on my breast and the other one on my stomach. She slid her hand down between my
legs. She pinched my clit lightly. I thought I was going to come right then and there. She rubbed my clit slow and in circles. Simone was moaning as she continued to grind me from behind. I was about to lose my mind. So much was happening to my body all at once. Simone and I came one after the other. I squeezed her hand between my legs. Simone held me close and hugged me. Afterwards, we sat on the lounge chairs near the pool.

  "Thank you so much. I love this place." Simone said.

  "You're welcome babe. You want to get dressed and go hangout on the beach?"
