Chapter 4 Part 1
"Lay your Body next to mine……."
Alem's P.O.V.
Alem awoke with a start hearing the loud buzzing of her intercom. She traipsed lazily out of bed to answer it before inadvertently made her deaf.
"Who is it?" She asked her voice hoarse with sleep.
"Delivery for Ms Alem Kamau." Came an unfamiliar voice.
She buzzed the intercom to let the delivery man in. Opening the door she was met with the most beautiful Orchid plants, two infact.
"Thank you." She beamed.
"Let me get you a tip."
"No ma'am its been taken care of." He said with a wave of his hand.
She let the door close behind her and looked around for a note or a card. She found it taped to one of the pots. The hand writing was a in a scrawl as bad as hers and she smiled at the jumble written on the card. Her father had always told her that bad hand writing was a sign of true genius and it made her feel special because as bad as hers was she must have been absolutely brilliant. Laughing at the memory she opened the note and read it:
"I hope to brighten the day of a delicate flower with two delicate flowers."
........Dapper Dan
It made her heart smile along with the goofy grin that was plastered across her face. She thought back to the dinner they shared. She was a little nervous at first at the close intimate quarters they were in. She hoped he had not caught wind of the blatant staring she was doing at his handsome face. He was breathtaking in person and his large beautiful brown eyes were framed by the longest lashes she had ever seen on a man. They had almost sent her tumbling to the floor when he was staring at her miss matched eyes. The kiss he had later placed on her lips caught her off guard. He tasted like cinnamon and what she imagined had to be heaven.
She had never been lucky enough to find a guy who held he interest for more than a couple of months. She liked being a free spirit, but with Michael she had already told him more about herself than she had with any of her ex's at this stage of the game. It had only been 3 days for crying out loud and she had toyed with the idea of talking to him about her parents but she held back.
"No need to get ahead of myself." She thought.
Listening to him talk about his deep connection to his music and dance, his voice was much deeper, feathery soft and steeped in what she could only describe as syrup it was so sweet to her ears. She walked to the kitchen and made herself a large cup of organic Ethiopian coffee. She looked into the fridge for ingredients to make herself some breakfast but was met with
"I really have to get some groceries." Her stomach growled a little and she frowned.
She had been eating out quite a bit lately. She made a decision to make herself a home cooked meal tonight. She would stop at the farmers market and the groceries after she left the studio later. At least she would get a early start on the mural.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The reception desk was empty when she walked through the doors so she headed immediately to her work area.
"Where is that girl?" Alem thought .
She began setting up her stuff when she felt two hands grab her shoulders.
"Boo!" Sandy yelled laughing.
"Oh my God Sandy what the f*ck is wrong with you." Alem was clutched her chest laughing.
This was the second time this week someone almost gave her a heart attack.
"Where were you just now crazy ass." Alem was still chuckling a little from her fright.
"Oh just delivering Mr Hot stuff and his team some paper work Mr Stork left them." Sandy pointed to Studio A with her thumb.
"Oh." Was all Alem said before a grin began to spread across her face. If she did not know better she thought she was also blushing. This made Sandy give her a knowing look before she made her way towards the front desk.
"Lunch today girl she yelled walking down the corridor."
"You know it, come get me." Alem answered back.
Looking to see if Sandy was out of sight she decided to head to Studio A. She did not want to keep her friend in the dark but she just wanted to keep this 'thing' to herself for now. She wanted to thank Michael for the orchid plants.
She knocked softly on the door.
"Come in." A voice answered behind the door.
She opened the door slowly closing it behind her to find Bruce setting things up with one of the sound engineers.
"Hey Bruce." Bruce spun around to face her.
"Hey miss Alem what can I do for you this fine day." He smiled softly at her.
"Is Mike around." She asked shyly.
"Oh yeah he's in the lounge on a phone call, just go on in. I'm sure he won't mind." He motioned her to the door.
She knocked softly once again and listened for the cue to enter.
"Come in." She heard his voice clearly and her stomach knotted a bit.
She poked her head in and looked to find him. Michael's back was facing her.
"Hey Dan." She called teasingly.
He turned to face her a beautiful smile on his luscious lips.
"Hey girl." He looked at her through his thick lashes.
"I just wanted to thank you for the Orchids before I got to work. They are beautiful and my favorites I might add."
"I figured you would like them." He walked over to her enveloping her in a tight hug.
His aroma kick started her hormones and her stomach grew warm. They both reluctantly released each other. Without even thinking twice about it she blurted out the question that was on the tip of her tongue.
"Hey what are you doing for dinner tonight?"
"Nothing I was going to work on some lyrics that have been bugging me."
"How about you come to my place, I'm making a home cooked meal if your interested?" Her sudden boldness surprised her but she didn't care.
"I'm there. Is 10pm too late I won't be finished up till then." His answer was almost immediate.
"Thats cool we could watch another movie if you want. Don't worry I have more that one tape." She joked.
"I'm looking forward to it." He winked biting on his lower lip.
"Oh to be that lip." She thought.
"We have to work on that winking Mike. One eye remember, one eye." She laughed as she walked out the door.
"See ya later girl." He could not help but laugh with her.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The day had gone by rather uneventfully. Alem ate lunch with Sandy and LL and a few guys form his entourage. The conversation was crazy. The guys were having a back and forth about some stupid nonsense as always trying to involve her and Sandy but they managed to ignore them. LL made his usual pass at her getting shot down and that was lunch. She was essentially done with Jimi Hendricks and had moved on to outlining all the other artists. She was now working on David Bowie ala Ziggy Stardust. It was around 6:30 before she remembered she had to stop at the farmers market to pick up some produce and fresh tofu. She bid Sandy a good evening and headed out for her errands. She had just enough time to get everything set up for dinner. She got home and put a bottle of Honey wine in the fridge to chill and poured herself a glass from an already open bottle draining it. She liked having wine while cooking it reminded her of her mom doing the same. She was blearing Eric B and Rahkim's 'Paid in Full' when she heard the faint ringing of the phone.
"Hello." Alem yelled into the phone.
The music as still a little loud so she walked over to turn it down. She heard soft laughter on the phone.
"Who is this?" She sounded more than a little annoyed and it made the person laugh even harder.
"Alem it's Mike you know, Dapper Dan. What are you listening to?"
"Oh hey Dan sorry, Im listening to Eric B and Rahkim."
"You like rap?"
"Yeah I listening to all kinds of music I'll have you know mister." She giggled
"That's cool ,listen I got done a little earlier than expected I hope you don't mind if I come earlier."
"No problem Mike I'm done cooking anyway."
"Do you need me to bring anything?"
"No just yourself is fine." She knew she was shamelessly flirting.
"Ok I'll see you in like 20 minutes or so."
"Ok I'll see you."
Michael's P.O.V
Michael rang the intercom and waited for Alem to buzz him in. It had taken him almost exactly 20 minutes to get to her place. He knocked lightly on the door. Alem opened the door and his breath almost left him. She was in no way dressed glamorously or anything of the sort but she looked extremely sexy. She wore an off the shoulder top that was cropped just enough so you could see the top half of her wing tattoos, black leggings that showed off her very toned backside and she was barefoot.
"Hey Mike come on in, welcome to my humble abode, excuse my appearance , I just like being comfortable at home you know." She motioned for him to come inside.
He had not realized he had not said a word till her heard her ask.
"Whats the matter cat got your tongue." Followed by a giggle and a pat on his shoulder.
"Oh sorry I was just taken by your view." He cleared his throat and pointed to her huge floor to ceiling windows.
It was a blatant lie and they both knew it. She eyed him wryly.
"Thank you for having me for dinner." He embraced her.
"With any luck I could have some dessert later." He thought naughtily.
"Get yourself together man." He scolded himself.
"No problem would you like a tour now or after dinner."
"Now would be nice."
For the next 20 minutes Alem showed him around he large loft space.
"Alem this place is spectacular."
"Thanks I decorated myself." She mentioned proudly.
"Well you have impeccable taste." The living space was one open area and was quite large but was very cozy looking.
"Is this your work ?" His eyes flitted from one large painting to the next.
"Nah these are my parents' work." He heard the hurt in her voice.
He reached over and put his arm around her shoulder as she coughed back tears.
"Sorry Mike. I'm not usually this emotional." She cleared her throat.
"No worries." He tilted her chin up with his index finger and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"They were my world. I miss them so much." She stated simply.
"Q told me they died in an accident?" He listened intently.
"Yeah they were in Ethiopia helping to install wells in my moms village. They were supposed to be gone 3 months. They had all of 3 weeks left before they had to come back home but their hotel exploded due to a gas leak one night. I was only 18 at the time and as an only child, I felt utterly alone. We had no other family. It was just us." She finished up with sniffles.
"How did you get by all those years that young." He asked wiping her tears from her face with his thumbs.
My parents were very well off before they died so you can say I inherited a great deal of wealth. As for emotional support I relied on my parents close friends and there family plus my best friend Zola's family." She quickly broke off.
"Well thats enough about that lets eat before the food gets cold." She had closed off as quickly as she opened up by changing the subject and forcing a smile.
He decided not to push so he just followed her over to the dinner table.
They sat down to a dinner of stir fired tofu, spinach salad and Honey wine. They talked for the next hour about any and everything and he found that he and Alem had as much in common as they did differently.
"How do you deal with being hounded all the time Mike." She asked off handedly.
"It's a very lonely existence at times. I never get to really just step out and walk down the street like a normal person in fact I can't even remember when the last time I did as myself. Sometime I resent it but I love my fans so much. They made me what I am you know so I sacrifice a lot of myself for them and what I do." He finished taking the last swig of
his wine.
She reached over and put her hand on his and caressed it with her thumb.
"I could never imagine living like that Mike." She sounded sympathetic.
"So you never get out on your own?"
"Sometime I sneak out in disguises but that does not work all the time."
"Well I'm going to jail break you one of these days and show you New York Alem style." She grinned cheekily.
"I would love that, honestly." He reached over the table and moved a loose curl behind her ear.
They were both staring at one another chins propped up by their palms .
"Hey you want to watch that movie now. You could go find one while I put this stuff away."
"No let me help you." Michael offered.
"No boy you go ahead I got it." She laughed.
"You sure?"
"Yes." She shoved him on his shoulder and motioned him to the living area.
He walked over to the floor to ceiling shelves that housed endless books African sculptures her videotape and record collections. She was not lying when she said she listened to all kinds of music. He flipped through her collection and smiled, she had good taste in music. He moved on to the videos to choose a movie. She had movies from all genres.
"Hey Alem do you want to laugh, cry or scream." He yelled.
"Well I would not mind laughing." She called back .
He decided to go for Beverly hills cop with his close friend Eddie Murphy. Him and his brother Charlie never failed to make him laugh.
"So did you choose." She plopped down on the couch kicking her legs up.
"Where's your player?" He asked.
"On the shelf over there." She pointed to the shelf under the tapes.
She got the remote and pressed a button and a large projection screen lowered from the high ceiling.
"Nice." He grinned walking over to join her on the couch.
She dimmed the lights with the same remote and started the tape.
She went to move her legs to make room for him but he stopped her picking up her legs and scooted his body under them laying them on his lap. He rested one arm on the back of the couch and the other rested on her calf. The movie started and Eddie took them for a ride. In the middle of the movie he was taken with a sudden boldness and started massaging her leg down to her slender feet as his other hand joined in the kneading and rubbing.
"You don't mind me doing this do you." He said in a whispered tone.
"No it actually fells good Mike."
He glanced over at her. Her gaze was fixed to the the screen. Not being able to resist her pull any longer he scooted closer to her and now she was practically on his lap. He turned her head around to face him and looked into her eyes. He licked his lips moistening them. Looking down at her small pillowy pout he leaned in and kissed her softly before pulling away to look back into her eyes . He leaned in an claimed her lips again this time more passionately. Their lips massaged each other, slowly as he ran his tongue across her bottom lip and sucked it into his mouth pulling it lightly with his teeth. Her hands clasped around the nape of his neck before she buried them into his hair. One of his hands held her neck securely and the other rested on the bare skin of her exposed waist. His tongue slipped into her mouth meeting hers in a sensual dance. She moaned softly into his mouth causing him to grow beneath her legs.
His hand slowly moved up from her waist and rested tentatively on her ribcage just beneath her breast. He pulled apart from kissing her and rested his forehead to hers. Her eyes were closed and her breathing was ragged. He moved his hands further up and cupped her firm breast as his thumb flicked across her tightened peak causing her to moan again. He brought his mouth back to join hers as their tongues wrestled each the for dominance. She pushed him up slightly and straddled his lap. He pulled her shirt over her head tossing it behind him and resumed their tongue dance, his hands rubbing up and down her sides. Her arms enveloped his neck. He broke the kiss moving down her jaw to the crook of her neck he began to feverishly lick and suck at her flesh as his hands massaging her ass.
She ground her heat into his growing erection causing him to moan loudly. He kissed his way down to her right breast to love it. He circled her areola before sucking her nipple into his mouth and flicking it with his warm tongue.
"Mmmmmm, ooohh Gawd Mike." She moaned softly.
He moved over to the left one and gave it equal attention. He kissed his way back up to her ear.
"You smell so good girl, just like chocolate." He whispered.
He pulled her down and ground his engorged manhood into her center.
"Do you feel what you do to me Alem, I want you so bad." He moans licking the shell of her ear.
"Mmmmmm I want you too Mike." She stood up and held her hand out for him to take it and she lead him to her bedroom.
When they got in the room he pulled her into his arms and kicked the door shut. The only light in the room was the light coming from the large wall of windows. He bent down and stuck his tongue back into her mouth exploring every crevice. He walked her backwards into the large canopy bed.
"Lay down girl let me look at you.
His large brown orbs now blackened with lust , flitted from her eyes down to her supple breasts and he hooked his fingers in the waistband of her leggings and she helped him shimmy them down her hips, leaving her in a pair of small black lace panties.
"Sssssss, Mmmmmmm. Just like I thought ,incredible."
He hissed the words before he stripped himself from the confines of his clothes leaving him in his boxer briefs. Alem propped herself up on her elbows and beckoned him to her with her index finger. She parted her legs for him to rest his body in between them. He buried his face in her neck and sucked and licked the skin there till he left a mark. He found her lips and devoured them once again. He pulled away from the kiss and traced his fingers down the valley of her breasts to the rim of her lace covered V. He bent his head and took her nipple hostage in between his lips as his fingers eased into her panties and circled her clit slowly.
"So wet." He looked up to catch her gaze as he continues his tongue assault on her hardened peak.
Her hand flew to the back of his head and she arched her body into his mouth. He plunged two fingers into her opening and began pumping them in and out languidly. She pulled his head from her breast and sucked his tongue into her mouth. The feeling of small jolts of lightening rapid fired through her senses as his fingers picked up speed bringing her to the edge. He withdrew his fingers from her tightness and brought them to his mouth sucking her juices from them.
"Ohhh you even taste like chocolate girl." Wanting more he kissed down her body to her tattoo tracing every inch with his tongue before reaching his ultimate goal.
"Ahhhhh, sssssmmmmm oh Gawd." She moaned as his tongue swiped her wet slit.
"So goooood." He whispered.
He wrapped lips around her clit and sucked it into his mouth while easing two fingers back into her core , pumping her.
"Does this feel good baby?"
"Yessssss so good." Her body began to shake uncontrollably and she clenched at his fingers with her core muscles.
"Oh God Mike I' m gonna cummmmm." She screamed.
He could feel her juices flow down his hand and he licked and sucked her till there was none left. He climbed back up her body plunging his tongue in and out of her mouth. She could taste herself on his velvet tongue and it sent her senses into overdrive. He pulled away from the kiss to look at her glistening visage.
" Tell me what you want girl." His gaze was intense and dark.
"I want this." She reached down between them and stroked him through the fabric of his briefs eliciting a loud groan from his lips.
"Inside me now!" She added.
"I want you to make love to me Mike." She whispered pulling his earlobe between her lips and sucking on it.
Hooking her thumb into the waistband she freed him from his fabric prison. He was nibbling her neck at a fevered pace as her hand slowly pumped him up and down his cock dwarfing her tiny fist. Putting two fingers into her wetness he maneuvered them in and out briefly to make sure she was ready for him. He was quite large to say the least and he did not want to hurt her. He took hold of his base and found her opening. He stopped briefly.
"Are you on the pill?" He cocked his head and looked her in the eyes.
" Yes Mike don't worry."
"Are you ready baby." He rubbed the head of his shaft up and down her slit.
She answered with the nod of her head her voice lost to her euphoria. He entered her slowly till he was up to his hilt.
"Oh f*ck Alem baby your so tighttttt." He groaned as he began thrusting into her catching his rhythm.
She wrapped her legs snugly around his waist. The only sound that filled the room were their moans and the sound of their bodies meeting with each thrust.
"Deeper baby. Aaahhhhhh."
Alem finally found her voice. Michael responded by pulling her leg over his shoulder. His name fell from her lips in a steady mantra. He picked up the pace slamming into her tightness. Her nails albeit short dug into the flesh of his back. They were both on the edge now as he could feel her clenching around him.
"Cum with me baby.... Cum for daddy."
He could feel her warm liquid flow down his shaft and spill out of her as her pussy milked him hard he shot his seed deep into her. With a few more pumps he released her leg and collapsed onto her. Both searching for air to fill their lungs again.
"Oh God.... that was out of this world." Alem gasped slapping her palm to her forehead lightly.
"Yeah...yeah that was." He chuckled, his face still buried in her neck.
Rolling off of her he brought her into another heart wenching kiss. He pulled her securely into his body and covered them with the cool cotton sheets. It was not long before the loving arms of sleep reached out and cradled them both in it's welcoming embrace.
