Chapter 82 - Can't Be Late

"Come on baby, let's go and get some rest," Mekhi says holding my hand pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Okay," I say with a yawn.

I allow him to guide me through the lobby to the elevators where everyone else has already disappeared. The elevator arrives and Mekhi sits the koala on the floor and pull me into his embrace. We hug until the elevator reaches our floor and he hoists my koala over his shoulder once more and takes out the room key with his free hand. Reaching the suite first he opens the door and holds it open for me. I walk inside take my shoes off and go into the bathroom to relieve myself then wash my hands and face. Afterwards I go into our room and remove my sundress and put on a nightshirt as well as my silk scarf for my hair. I go into the living room to see Mekhi at his laptop.

"Ready to lay down," he asks looking up at me from his computer screen.

"Yes, can you come and lay with me," I say wanting to fall asleep in his warm and strong embrace.

"Yes," he says closing his laptop as he stands and walks over to me sweeping me off my feet.

"Ahh," I say as he sweeps me off my feet taking me by surprise and walks back to the bedroom.

"Wait for me here," he says placing me on the bed.

"Okay," I say biting my bottom lip and he removes his shirt while going into the bathroom.

While he's in the bathroom I set an alarm so that we can wake up in time for a late dinner before going out to the club. Lying in bed waiting for him, I can no longer hold my eyelids open and fall asleep. A while later, I feel Mekhi climb into bed pulling me close to him and kissing my forehead.

A few hours later the alarm sounds and I wake up wrapped in Mekhi's warm embrace. I'm resistant to move because I don't want to wake him but I have to turn the alarm off. As I begin to slip out of his embrace he squeezes me tighter.

"What's wrong," his sleepy voice says.

"I have to turn off the alarm. We need to have dinner and get ready to meet our friends," I say to him.

"Okay," he says and releases me.

I roll over to the edge of the bed and grab my phone off the nightstand to turn off the constant ringing of the alarm. After turning off the alarm I see a slew of texts from the group chat with the girls. I unplug the charger, roll over, and sit up to read the messages. I see that there are two sets of group chats with the second chat including Melissa, Naomi, and Jasmine. I click on the first chat that tells me to refer to the second chat so I open it and see that there are flyers for all the clubs that are closest to our hotel. They've already decided which club to go to without waiting for my input. As I'm reading through the messages a new pops up.

Rylie: LENAAAAAA WAKE UP AND RESPOND RIGHT NOW OR I WILL FIND AND COME TO YOUR ROOM AND DRAG YOU OUT!! YOU ARE NOT STAYING IN TONIGHT!!!

Reading her message, I can hear her voice saying the words out loud as she typed and I laugh immediately.

"What's up? What's so funny," Mekhi says rolling over to hug me and I try to stifle my laugh.

"Rylie and the girls are going to come and drag me out of this room if I don't reply to them. I have to reply," I say calming down the giggles enough to reply.

Me: Sorry, I was napping! I literally just woke up cut me some slack! I'm okay with going to the place you guys picked…I need to wash up and eat first!

Rylie: Finally! How can you sleep on vacation??

Me: Because I was exhausted from the busy week I've had…I'm up now it has to count for something

Nova: It counts! Don't you dare go back to sleep!

Susu: Eat and shower first, we've already had dinner.

Melissa: Yeah, we're waiting for you!

Jasmine: And me! I'm not ready yet!

Me: I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one that's late

Naomi: Can't be late to the club, the later we get there, the better

Rylie: I know, I just want to make she's up and getting ready

Susu: Take your time, Isaiah is taking his time anyway

Rylie: Is Mekhi awake?

Me: Yeah, I woke him up laughing at your message

"The girls are ready for us to get up," I say to Mekhi with a smile.

"Alright, we won't be able to eat or get ready if they keep texting you," he says kissing me behind my ear.

"Okay," I say and immediately send a text out.

Me: Alright ladies, we're going to eat and get ready! I'll message when we're ready

"I'm done," I say rolling over to place the phone back on the stand.

"Good," Mekhi says pulling me under him.

He places one hand behind my head and the other caresses my body as he leans down to kiss me. I place one hand on his bare chest and the other on his sculpted bicep as I accept and welcome his kiss. His kiss starts out gentle and coaxing then builds to passion as he continues to caress my body. His every touch and caress ignites a fire and wanting on my skin. My inner goddess stretches from her nap and begins her floor stretches. The long drawn out kiss had me gasping for air and wanting. Wanting more kissing, more of him…just more. He grabs his phone and holds me while typing out messages.

'Geesh! I don't know how much longer I can keep up these pent up sexual urges. I feel as though I'm going to explode sooner than later.' I pout to myself.

"Alright let's get freshened up so we can have dinner and meet our friends," he says pulling me from my thoughts.

"Okay," I say getting out of the bed and stretching my body.

After stretching I go into the bathroom for a quick shower and to freshen up. Using one of the fluffy white robes provided by the hotel, I go into the room to sort out my outfit for this evening's activities.

"Come and eat love, I've ordered dinner. You can find your clothes later," Mekhi says from the door shirtless and in dress pants.

A real feast for the eyes!

"Okay," I manage to say after I tear my eyes away from his body.

"Are you sure you've looked long enough," he asks with a chuckle gesturing to his body.

"I don't know, but since there's food I guess I've looked long enough," I say biting my lip.

"Good grief, come and eat woman," he says shaking his head.

"Okay," I say giggling while I fix my robe and follow him out to the dining room.

He pulls out my chair and I take a seat. He walks to his chair and removes the covers from the dishes that has been brought up before taking his seat. We hold hands and bless our food before my plate is loaded with food.

"Kai! I can't eat all of this food! How can I dance the night away if I'm too full to move," I yelp as he adds food to my plate.

"You will be fine of course. You said that you planned on having a few drinks, you can't drink on an empty stomach just because you want to dance the night away. That would be irresponsible of me," he says easily without giving it a second thought.

"But this is too much," I say pointing to the food on my plate.

"Eat as much as you can," he says looking at the food he piled onto my plate.

"Okay, I'll do my best," I say with a sigh.

"That's all I ask," he says with a smile consoling me with the touch of his hand on mine.

We eat our dinner quietly. Surprisingly I finish most of the food Mekhi placed in front of me and I'm not full in an uncomfortable way.

"I'm going to get dressed," I say standing and stretching.

"Okay, close the door behind you," he says and I nod my head.

I go into the bedroom and close the door as I was instructed to do. First, I brush my teeth and rinse my mouth. Next I fix my hair, I style it with two braids that go up into a tight sleek bun exposing my neck and collar bone. I let a few curls hang loose at the back and on the sides. Then, I apply make up for a night out, complete with smoky eyes and a bold lip. Finishing in the bathroom, I turn the light off and exit and go to the closet to find something to wear for tonight. I decide to wear the deep red backless dress Mekhi picked out on our shopping trip after pulling on a pair of sexy lace panties. I thank the heavens that my breasts are perfect for the dress and my many years of practicing martial arts for my in shape yet curvy figure. I put on a pair of heels and check myself out in the mirror. Satisfied with my look so far, I put on a few accessories and finally spray some perfume. I go to the bathroom to check my hair and makeup once more, when I turn around Mekhi is standing at the door.

"Do you like it," I ask as I meet Mekhi's burning gaze.

"Ahem, I like it. I like it a lot," he says after clearing his throat.

"How do I look," I ask him gently biting my bottom lip while leaning against the counter.

"Like we could just spend the night here in the room," he says stuffing his hands in his pockets while his greedy eyes roam all over my body.

"But we can't! Our friends are waiting for us," I say a little seductively standing and letting my nails softly scratch his exposed chest as I walk by him.

"We still have a little time," he says following me into bedroom then living room.

"How do you want to spend our time waiting then Mr. Eason," I say turning around and grabbing the collar of his blazer.

"I can think of a few things to do but then you'll have to get ready all over again," his velvet smooth voice says into my ear sending a chill down my spine.

"As tempting as that sounds, I'm into the waiting game," I say almost regretfully.

"If I hadn't promised myself, I would like to see how long you could wait it out," he says seductively turning the tables.

"Well it doesn't seem as though it's an appropriate time for you to find out," I respond standing my ground.

"Okay, you win," he says wrapping his arms around my waist and laying his head on my shoulder.

"Yay," I say smiling and he lifts his head and pulls me over to the sofa.

We wait until we get the message that everyone is ready and to meet in the lobby to (my surprise) board the party bus. Finally heading out for a night of fun, dancing, and drinking we (us girls) are overly excited.
