Chapter 4 A Time of Firsts 1 of 2

  • Abijah's POV
  • On my way walking to the bus stop this lime green and black Dodge Charger pulls up along side of me and the window lets down. I stopped walking, eyeing it cautiously, bending down I see this gorgeous man smirking at me, "Hey beautiful, I'm Shawn and you are..?" he asks looking me up and down, my breath caught in my throat, whoa he was fine!
  • "Abijah" I say a bit shy at him openly checking me out. He licks his lips tantalizingly slow then slowly repeats my name. I felt wildly aroused by this action and gulped.
  • "Where are you going, would you like a ride?" he asks me in his deep sultry voice. I can hear a Spanish accent but it wasn't thick.
  • "I'm on my way home and I have a bus pass but thanks anyway." I say kindly, turning to leave, he chuckles.
  • "Are you single?" He asks, my eyebrows rose and my mouth popped open with a little pop noise. I blinked, nodding slowly.
  • "I'd like to go out with you, if you'll have me?" he said looking arrogantly hopeful. "Sure, I'd like that!" I grinned at him. "Well can I give you a ride home now?" he asks more confidently I nod getting in the car. We talk and get to know each other on the drive, I live a good 35 minutes away by car, over an hour via public transportation.
  • I told him about myself which wasn't really much and I learned that he's a widow with an 8 year old daughter. He's 32 yrs old and is a crane operator at the local recycling center it’s literally 4 blocks away from where I live. He's also from Chicago but moved to Milwaukee after his older brother, Javier, got gunned down in a case of mistaken identity. He is half Puerto Rican and Italian, whoa no wonder he's hot! He has hazel green eyes, short medium brown hair, huge muscular build and he is about 6'6". He has a slightly chiseled face with minimal facial hair and tanned skin.
  • By the time we arrive at my aunt's house we agree to go on a date this Saturday. I was overly excited, it's my first date woohoo! I couldn't wait to tell my aunt. I saved his cell number in my phone and he kissed my hand before I got out. I waved him goodbye, checked the mailbox and went inside. I passed her the mail and kept my own saying, "I met a guy today and we're going on a date this Saturday!" I squealed excitedly. She looked at me surprised, "What? Really? Gurl is he fine, how old is he, is he working? Gimme the details!" she was as excited as I was lol. So I told her about him.
  • "I'm so happy for you niecy poo, just be careful k, you never know what species people are these days!" she says sincerely, giving me a hug. "So how was work?"
  • "Cool, I've finally started remembering folks names now so that's good." I chuckled taking off my shoes and opening up my mail. It's an invitation to the 'Back to School Ball' at the Alpha & Lunas' palace! WOW! I'm invited? That's freaking awesome! Oh no, it's Saturday, this Saturday! Maybe I can reschedule my date with Shawn? I don't want to be rude to the Alpha and Luna. So I dial Shawns' number.
  • "Miss me already beautiful?" I giggled, jeez he's cocky. "Umm, I just got an invitation to the ball being held by the Alpha & Luna, and its gonna be on Saturday.. did you want to reschedule our date to Sunday or another day?"
  • "No, I'm gonna go with you!" he sounded kinda pissed. "Oh um.. ok" I checked the invite it does allow for a plus one, great he can come. "Okay that'll be perfect! We only have two days to prepare and I have no idea what I'm going to wear... hmm I'll do the pack colors. Purple, teal and gold I'll go today and look for something." I say.
  • "How about I come pick you up and we go get our outfits together." he suggests, but it doesn't sound like he's asking. "That's a great idea, well I'm ready. I'll just be here waiting for you." I tell him.
  • "Ok let me turn around, I'll blow my horn when I'm outside, okay sweetie?" I giggled, sweetie. "Ok"
  • I hang up and let my aunt know what's up. She was excited because she was gonna be able to see him. Five minutes later he honked and she nearly raced me to the door lol! I put on my shoes and head out to see him opening the door for me. "He's a handsome gentleman Abie, buy something sexy!" she whispers to me while I make my way down the stairs. I gasped, swatting at her playfully giving her a amused look. "Hi, I'm her Aunt Sandria!" he waved, "Nice to meet you I'm Shawn." "Thank you for opening my door." I say smiling, walking towards the car.
  • I gasps because he startled me by wrapping an arm around my waist and planting a kiss on my cheek. I was so stunned, my face was a billion degrees! He had a huge smirk on his face when he let me go so I can get in the car, he closed my door and came around to get in. I was nervous the whole drive to Mayfair Mall. He turned on some music, I love singing and I have a great voice so I sang along to the songs I knew. It helped me calm down a bit, that was until he put his hand on my thigh.
