Before we left the party my aunt Michelle said to me, "I love her, Manny, she is definitely a keeper, don't you mess this up by being too aggressive with her, okay? I will kick your ass!" she said laughing but serious. "I can tell that she is a gentle soul and she'll fit right in here with us, I love you and you take care of her and yourself," she gave me a hug and Keya a hug and kiss. I had to get Keya home she was so sleepy. I see her smiling and can see that she's had a good time, so did I. She makes me so happy and I know my aunt means well, that I can be a bit bull headed sometimes but, I'm really trying to work on it, believe me. I've prayed for this girl and if I fuck it up with her, I'm not sure if I can forgive myself. She is so cute sleeping...
We make it to her grandma's house and she is still knocked out sleep, I lift her up out of the car, she is so lightweight that I can carry her with only one arm. I grab the pan of food with my other hand, good thing her brothers are outside to open the front door for us. "Hey y'all hungry? I brought some food back" I tell them. "Yeah!" they said and came inside to eat.
Grammy is sitting in her recliner watching the Food Network again and turned to see me carrying Keya in. "What the hell you do to her?!" she yelled at me. "She ate a lot of food and got sleepy, that's all, I promise you" then she heard Keya snoring lightly, she exhaled sharply, "Okay, boy don't scare me like that, put her on the chaise lounge over there" I did, then put the pan of food in the kitchen on the table and her siblings just went at it, and started with the questions again, "Do you wanna play Sega Channel with us?", "You wanna play army men?", "I have Legos and Lincoln Logs", "How old are you?", "Do you really like my sister?", "How tall are you?", "Do you like Pokemon or Digimon better?", "What cartoons you like?", "What video games you play?", "Do you like dogs?", "Do you know how to cook pancakes? I love pancakes!" I said, "HEY, OK, OK! CALM DOWN WITH THE QUESTIONS!" And I heard Grammy laughing, "There you go Manny, tell 'em!" They calmed down after that and I was able to answer some of their questions. "Tey, Yes! I love your sister and I want to be with her for the rest of my life! Trell, I don't watch neither of those cartoons. Qwan, yes I do know how to make pancakes and I love them too. And Tez I'm 6ft, 5inches. And yes I would like to play Sega Channel with y'all. But only after you are done eating and wash your hands too, okay? I'm not going anywhere" Whew! I don't see how she handles all them lol smh.
I went back to where My Keya was, sat down and put her in my lap. Damn she was beautiful, I smile looking down at her, with her perfectly arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, round nose and plump lips. "You really care about her don't you?" Grammy asked me smiling. "Yes, I do. I've never had anyone make me feel the way she does." I trace my index finger along her brown face, "My Keya". Then I thought about what she told me at the cookout...I frowned a bit, "Grammy what do you know about this, Steve guy?" she looked at me seriously and said "He's this lil rude ass boy that she likes at school" she had an irritated look on her face, "If you ask me, he needs an ass whupping, always fuckin with her. I caught him grabbing all on her ass and shit! It pissed me off!" she was really red, I could almost see smoke coming out her ears.
"Grammy, I might be able to have someone take care of him for us. I don't want any man or boy touching My Keya, apart from her family of course, I know how much she does for her brothers and sister, and you" I said. She muted the TV and said, "Who you got in mind?" She said with her eyebrow raised. "I have many cousins that don't mind fighting to defend family and she is family now." I told her. "Look do what you need to do, because I'm tired of that muthafucka harassing my grandaughter!" "I completely agree!"
Keya was stirring, but didn't wake up. "I'm gonna show her how to defend herself against people like him" I spoke a little quieter, "I love the sound of that!" Grammy said. And her brothers started coming in asking Grammy if they could play Sega Channel. They were so loud that she woke up. Damn y'all, really?! I love seeing her sleep. I honestly don't see how she deals with them. She looked up and smiled at me, "Heyyy, I just had a 'yawn' dream about you" she said still looking sleepy. Really?! So you dream of me too? Awesome, damn I love you! "Well hello sleepyhead", I sit her up and kiss her forehead, "What was it about?" "We had our birthday party together and it was super exciting and fun, we went skating and bowling and played arcade games, man we had so much fun!" she said looking excited.
"That does sound like fun" it truly did and it sounds like Dave and Buster's to me, minus the skating. "My birthday is Nov 8th and yours is the 9th, so we can have our birthday party together if you like" I said, she gasped, "Your birthday is the 8th? Whoa that's so cool!" she exclaimed. "Yeah we can have them together!" I hear Grammy tell them, "No, y'all go on outside, you can play later, I got some business to handle right quick." Trell, "Awww man, that's bogus!", Qwan, "Man we ain't gon never play", Tez, "Tsk, ughhh!" and Tey, "Ok Grammy" and outside they went.
"Ok gurl now that you woke, we gotta discuss the agreement between the two of you" she said seriously. Agreement!? What agreement? "Keya go look on my dresser and get that letter that's on it, labeled: Agreement, you can't miss it." Keya got off me and went upstairs as instructed, Grammy said, "Manny, Keya is a good girl but is very gullible and naive so, if I don't set up rules for her to follow she'll be a little lost, I pray this agreement is suitable for the both of you" Keya was coming back now, with a paper in her hand. She gives it to Grammy and sits next to me. I hold her hands and wonder what's in this 'Agreement'.
"Ok first of all, Manny tell me about yourself, besides wanting to marry her, what goals do you have in life, what do you want to achieve before you retire? I already know what she wants to do in life, Keya have you talked to him about your goals yet?" Grammy said. Keya looked at me and shook her head, "Not yet" "Well tell him gurl". Keya turned to me and said, "Well I have 4 goals that I want to achieve before I retire," she sounded like she was reading from an essay or book report,
"1. I wanna stay a virgin until I'm married!
2. I wanna be a good wife and mother
3. I wanna go to Harrington Institute of Interior Design
4. I wanna open up my own business designing and building affordable houses for people that deserve them." She nodded and smiled looking confident. "Good girl, Keya!" Grammy replied.
"I can definitely help you achieve all of your goals sweetie and you can help me achieve mine also," she looked excited and listened intently. Well what were my goals, I thought..."Well, I used to want a nice car and a big house and I already have that. So that's a check off my list. I have money in the bank, so another check off my list. I guess now it's just to get married and be a great dad and husband!" she looked really excited then, "We have some of the same goals then, Manny that's awesome!" she laid her head on my arm and hugged it, smiling.
Grammy asked "You have a house already and money in the bank? How old are you?" "I'm 23, and yes I have a home, car and motorcycle that's all been paid in full. I guess now's a good time to tell you about me. When I graduated from high school my grandpa gave me $20,000 and told me to invest in my future. I had taken a class that taught me about stock and shares and things of that nature. They were saying how if I invest just a little now and leave it alone, it will grow and grow. So that's what I did and my family already had money, so I saved most of mine that I got from when I was in the Marines," she looked impressed that I was in the Marines," yeah after high school I went straight to the Marines and have been there for nearly 6 years. I just returned home in March and there are so many benefits that we can use from being in the service like, discounts on buying homes, vehicles, insurance, school," I looked at My Keya, "They will pay for whatever school you attend just because you're my wife, no problem."
"Wow! For real? Just because we're married?!" Keya said, "Yes!" I kissed her hand. I can't wait until we are married...her eyes got wide and she blushed, looking away shyly, it's like she can read my mind or something. "But yes I was smart with my money and I have millions in the bank." I said arrogantly and her mouth dropped open, eyes about to pop out of her head, her voice high pitched, "YOU ARE A MILLIONAIRE! HOLY CRAPOLA! THAT'S SOOO COOL I NEVER MET A MILLIONAIRE BEFORE!!" I chuckled at her reaction and kissed her hand again, I couldn't get enough of this girl, "Well you have now, and once we're married you will be one too!" she looked beside herself with excitement. "Well gad dayum Keya, you went and hit the jackpot gurl!" Grammy said looking happy, shaking her head.
"I thought that was a rental you was driving in Manny but that's all you?" she said. "Yes ma'am that's all me, would y'all like to come see my home?" I wanted My Keya to see what she had to look forward to living in one day.."Sure, but after we've discussed this agreement first", Oh I forgot about that.. "Ok, let's hear it" I was prepared to reject it if it wasn't to my liking. I wish I could kidnap My Keya and flee the country, start our own family in the Caribbean's and return only after she was grown lol, but...
Grammy grabbed the paper and read, "The written and binding agreement between Rukeya and Manuel, presented by me the Grandmother and legal guardian granted by the State of Illinois, Jean E. Marshall. Terms to be followed to the letter and no dillydalling or lollygagging. From age 12 until whenever Rukeya can attend church gatherings and events accompanied by a family member, more or less her sibling or close relative with Manuel. From age 13 can attend social events accompanied by a family member, more or less her sibling or close relative with Manuel. From age 14 can attend social events without being accompanied by a family member but needs to be home at a respectable hour, no later than 10pm on school days and 11pm on weekends. From age 15 can start spending the weekends (Friday-Monday) over at the home of Manuel but needs to be at school on time the following week. From age 16 can start spending vacations like Spring Break, Summer Break and Winter Break in the care of Manuel, just remember to check in and call your family from time to time. And at the age of 17 in the State of Illinois you are of legal age to marry Manuel with my written consent. Which I will grant upon following these rules.
These terms if they are broken or violated in any way, shape, form or fashion will be null and void. This form will be Notarized and has been prayed over in the Heavenly Fathers Name Amen. Sign here________"
"Well what y'all think? Not too shabby if ya ask me" Grammy said grinning. "I object!" Keya said at the same time I had said, "I completely agree!" I looked at her, she looked a bit flustered, what did she not like about the agreement? "What is it sweetie? What do you not like about the agreement?" I asked her, confused a little. She sideways glanced me, not really looking at me. She stared at Grammy, "Did you say that I can start spending the night with him at 15!? Don't..you think that's kinda too soon..?" She still wasn't looking at me. Was she afraid I'll do something to her? Well I can't say that I won't, I almost did today at auntie's house, I see why she's worried. Shit I need to have more self control, I'm not trying to lose her because I can't keep it in my pants.
"Yes I did, y'all gonna need to get comfortable with each other before y'all get married girl." Grammy said. "I'm comfortable with him now, and I'm not over his house Grammy! I don't see this being a good thing at all!" Keya announced. She was not happy with Grammys reasons for her staying over my house so soon, she was pouting, I wanted to suck the life out of her damn lip.... No, see that's why she doesn't want to be alone with me. I needed to get a handle on myself quickly. But how, I wondered.. "Babygirl it doesn't have to be every weekend okay?" she swallowed hard then slowly turned to me, her lips quivering, she looked sad and scared, "You remember what happened at Michelle's house, before she knocked on the door, 'that was close', you said, but ain't nobody gonna be there to knock on your door is it, Manny?" I see where she's coming from. She doesn't want to end up like her pregnant friends. I have condoms but, she really wants to wait until we are married and I did tell her that I would wait until she was ready. Man this is harder than I expected. We need a resolution and I think I may know who to talk to..
"Keya I understand why you are so concerned okay, its not something that's a pressing matter right now, we have a few years before we are faced with it okay?" I tried to convince her. She still looked unsure, she bit her lip and said, "Ok Manny" I embraced her and kissed her forehead. We signed the agreement letter. She was so worried about ending up like her friends, I wondered why...Grammy said "It'll all work itself out in time y'all, okay?! Well let's go see this home of yours Manny!" "Oh, yes ma'am"
We all got into my Caddy and went to my house, it was about a 15 minute drive away with traffic. I have an electric front gate and garage door opener in my car, I pressed the buttons. And Voila'! They were impressed, guess they never seen nothing like that before. My Harley's parked and covered up to my right side as usual. My garage has some tool boxes and various power tools on the work bench area. I have my lawn mower and blower in here, a few shovels, shop brooms, a rake and other equipment hanging up. It's a 3 car garage with a door straight ahead that leads into my 'basement' area and to the left are the stairs and double front doors with a window in them. I park and show them the first floor. Leaving the garage area, to the right is the laundry room, complete with washer, dryer a sink and shelving, a small window also. Next to that is a full bathroom with another small window. And a guest bedroom with closet.
Across from this was my workout area, treadmill, full workout bench, punching bags, weight bar, and a mirror. I put in a shelving unit and my stereo system is on it. The rest of the first floor is my home theater area, I have 12 recliners separated in 2 rows, with a mini bar area, mini fridge, microwave, hotdog maker and popcorn machine. I have a projector mounted to the ceiling that was connected to a DVD player and surround sound. I have shelves lining the walls filled with movies and cd's and video games. And the sliding back door, that leads to the back yard, which has a hot tub, patio furniture, gazebo and a grill, I love grilling.
I show them the second floor which is an enormous kitchen area, with all new full size, stainless steel appliances and an island in the middle, 8-person glass table with wooden chairs in the dining room and a huge sectional in the living area a half bath and a small storage closet. Stairs leading up to the third and final floor, her brothers tried to run up them but I told them, "Y'all wait, because ladies go first!" Grammy, Phat and My Keya looked grateful and walk up the stairs, then her brothers and me.
In front of the stairs is another full bathroom with bedrooms on either side, I tell them, "I have one for guests and one will be a nursery" I see Keya jump a bit at this information, I chuckled internally, she glanced back at me. Grammy said "Boy, you can't wait huh?!" grinning. Hell no! I want lots of kids and your granddaughter is going to give them to me! "It just helps to be prepared, is all" I said smiling. I walk up and put my arms around Keya from the back, she jumps, and looks up at me, "You scared me" she's blushing again, breathing a little fast. I just smiled at her. "And this is Our room", I looked at her some type of way and she blushed even more, I love it! "I have a California King bed, 2 walk-in closets, one for you and one for me." I spin her around to face me, like we were dancing, kissed her hand, and pulled her back to me, putting my dick on her back, I felt her trembling lightly. "A master bathroom with walk-in shower and a separate 2 person jacuzzi tub with water jets, a closed off toilet room and his and her sinks." She looked shocked at this bathroom. "Wow! This is amazing, what kinda shower is that?" she pointed at the ceiling, "Its called the waterfall showerhead and also water sprays out from the walls like this," and I showed them how it worked. They were really impressed. "Keya I'm jealous!" Grammy joked. "Manny this home is amazing, I'm sure Keya agrees?" she looked at her smiling. "Yes! Its awesome, I love it and its inspiring me to draw a new home!"
"What do you mean?" I asked her, "I draw houses all time, Manny, that's one of the things I want to do when I'm older, I can show you some of the homes I drew already if you want?" She said looking up at me. Really she draws houses, damn that's cool, at least she knows what she wants to do with her life. Hell at her age all I wanted to do was learn English and play sports. I was impressed with her, "Yeah you can show me some of them when we get back, cool?" I said, "Awesome, I love drawing! And coloring too" I will remember to buy her some coloring supplies and books soon.
We go back down and get in my car, I asked if they wanted to stop and get something to eat? They agreed and we went to Pizza Hut on North & Western. I let them order whatever they wanted and I took them home. "I will see you tomorrow okay? Maybe we all can go somewhere if y'all are not doing anything" I told them, Grammy said, "Its summer, ain't no school so we usually just stay home or go outside, maybe to the park" "Well maybe we can all go to the beach together tomorrow, is that cool?" I asked her, "Hell yeah, that'll work, we'll see you in the morning, Manny" I grabbed My Keya and said "Be ready around 11am okay?" "Okay" I kissed her deeply and Grammy said "Okay, that's enough, get on outta here before she gets pregnant by your lips" she joked, "OMG! I can get pregnant from kissing?!" she looked terrified, smh she's so young. "No, Keya you can't I promise, Grammy is just teasing you okay?" she looked relieved. "That's so NOT cool, Grammy". Grammy was dying laughing on her recliner, I chuckled.
"Okay, I'm going home now to sleep in that big ol bed by myself" I faked being sad, looking at her while pouting. "Yep, you right, all by yourself because ain't no babies being made yet. Now go on and we'll see you in the morning" Grammy said. "Ok Grammy see you, until tomorrow My Keya" I kissed her again before Grammy tried to push me out the door, lol. Another perfect day, but for real she needs to grow up quickly, I don't know if I have the mental or physical capacity to keep my promise of waiting until we are married. I wonder how old you have to be to get married in Puerto Rico.....lol
