No Ordinary Love (32 page)

Sharae sighed. “What do you mean, you’re going to be late?”

King cleared his throat. “Rae, I didn’t get in until after twelve am this morning.”

She ignored his excuses and went in on him. “How is this your job and you slacking?”

“I’m tired as shit—”

“It’s cool,” she said with disappointment. She had been looking forward to their kick boxing match to relieve some of the stress she’d been feeling. “I have my music, but know that you owe me two extra sessions this week.”

“Naw. I will be there,” he yawned sitting up. King dragged his hands over his face and glanced down at the woman lying beside him. He got out of the bed and moved around the darkened room. Kyrie was about to be pissed that she was going to be rudely awaken and sent home so he could meet Sharae at the gym.

“Where you going? I thought you said we was gonna sleep in,” Kyrie purred as she sleepily looked up at him.

Kyrie knew that King thought she was sleeping but she had been listening since the moment she felt him reach for his phone in the dark. An instant pang of jealousy twisted in her stomach. She hated that she couldn’t roll over to him when the sunlight crept through the blinds in the mornings because he was always rushing off to meet Sharae.

“I have meet Rae at the gym. Would you like to go then we can come back here and lounge ‘til my next appointment.”

Kyrie frowned, “I don’t think so, King. You know what time it is?” She wanted to roll over and just get lost in the massive king sized bed but knew that he wasn’t having any of that. King had a rule that all guests exited his house when he did. No one had a key to his place except for Sharae.

Kyrie was still trying to figure out if she’d ever used it for matters that extended beyond them being best friends. For the life of her, she couldn’t figure out why the two of them weren’t dating each other. When King had introduced her to Sharea as his best friend she had been surprised, she was beautiful and successful. They were comfortable in each other’s personal space, had even completed one another’s sentences. She assumed that since they’d known each other for over ten years that they were oblivious to their reactions to one another.

Kyrie frowned as she thought that Sharae must have been blind or completely happy with her man to not have been attempting to hook up with King. He was fine. His skin complexion reminded her of milk chocolate, the hair on his head was a dark set of waves, he’d let the hair on his face grow a little longer than a natural beard, resembling a Muslim man’s beard. King stood six feet three inches tall, he was lean like a basketball player and his body was toned perfectly. It surprised her that King had been single and that there had been no drama with other women since they’d began dating six months before. Single black women were always on the lookout for handsome, heterosexual, and successful black men to snag as their own. With the way their relationship was going, this might be Kyrie’s opportunity to get hers.

“I could have stayed home for all of this,” she pouted as she climbed to the edge of the bed. She stood up on her knee in front of him.

King sent her a sideways glance with a bright smile that showed off his pearly white teeth. “And missed out on all this good dick this morning?” he smirked as he stepped closer to gather her up in his arms.

“Ummm. You bout to pass out some more?” She inquired as she let her arms settle around his neck. Her eyes sparkled in anticipation.

He glanced at the clock and grinned back at her. “I got a lil’ bit of time,” he murmured coaxing her onto her back.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I have been writing since I was fourteen years old and have enjoyed reading various genres of literature since then. I love romance and all of its ups and downs, all the joys, some of the pain, the heart lifting and heartbreaking, and let’s not forget the funny and outrageous. I love creating characters that people can relate to and reflect back thinking that they know and love someone just like that. I hope to promote and build literacy in the African American community and to provide quality reading material in an entertaining way that reminds readers that everyone is human. I feel that real life is not black and white but filled with many colors in various shades so our literature should be as well.
I am the mother of two beautiful children. I work very hard to show them that they can have everything they dream of if they have enough drive, skill and ambition to make it happen.

So here’s me making it happen….

I’m currently working on my next novel.
