"Momma your favourite child is here"
"You're my only child Ronnie" Her mother chuckled at her antics.
"Yeah, exactly the reason I'm your favourite. If I wasn't then you would have given me siblings but you didn't."
"Girl, shut up and help me set the table."
"Ooooh, you making food I came at the right time then."
"I don't know how you always come to the house right when I'm about done cooking."
Veronica helped set the table for her mother. Also swaying her hips to the music her mother loves listening to. After she was done she decided to look around the room mostly looking for family pictures, that was something she always loved doing when visiting her mother.
She picked up the picture that always made her smile. It was a picture she had taken of her parents, her mother was cooking dinner and her father was holding her mother's waist from behind. They were both looking at each other as her mother threw her head back laughing at his words and all her father could do was smile at his wife purely in love.
She looked back at her mother, and even though she was smiling and dancing a little bit to the music she felt upset that her mother lived in a house by herself only being with her thoughts. Letting out a sigh she placed the picture back on the table and went to her mother.
She wrapped her arms around her mother hugging her tightly from behind. "I love you mommy" She sighed resting her head on her neck.
"I love you too baby" her mother smiled leaving a kiss on her forehead and stroking her arm.
"Come on go sit down and I'll serve the food."
She nodded her head going to sit at the table.
She watched as her mother served them both some food and sat down as well. They both prayed blessing the food before eating.
"Now what's been going on Ronnie, you haven't been giving me any updates on your job or even your life." Her mother questioned while eating.
Where could Veronica start? She was doing great at her job. She finished her project. She was bonding with her ex-boss and she let him eat her out and spend the night. So far everything has been crazy in the last 2 weeks.
"Well mom my job has been good, you know me I don't really go out much I've just been at home nothing interesting."
Her mom nodded her head. She wanted her daughter to go out more and do more stuff but she wasn't going to force her. After they were done eating she washed the plates and when she was done she felt her phone buzz
Xxx-xxx-xxx
I want to take you out.
She smiled at her phone she already knew who it was but she wanted to play dumb and see where it leads her.
(Ronnie)
Who is this?
Xxx-xxxx-xxx
I'm hurt you asked that question miss Calhoun
She could feel his smirk as if he was standing right beside her. Taking a bold move she decided to call him.
It's like he knew she would do that as he picked it up before she could even hear it ring.
"Eager I see" she chuckled
"Maybe I wanted to hear your voice." His voice was doing things to her body she couldn't even describe he sounded so attractive she could just imagine him touching her body.
"I still don't know who I'm talking to."
She heard his chuckle "You really are childish miss Calhoun.....It's Ahmad Tate."
She let out a playful gasp " Mr Tate, oh I'm sorry sir I didn't know it was you. To what do I owe this conversation."
"Well, miss Calhoun first off I've told you countless times to call me Ahmad-"
"The only reason I call you Mr Tate is because you still call me miss Calhoun."
She sassed back waiting for his next reply.
"Veronica...I called to ask if you would let me take you out."
She was shocked to be quite honest she wanted to say yes but then her mind drifted to her job. She was involved in an ad for a new client to promote their clothing line. They were only using her because the client themselves was a female and the men wanted to give the impression that they supported a woman's opinion.
"Take me out, umm I don't know Ahmad."
"What's the hesitance for"
She didn't even know what to say to that. She didn't want her mind to be distracted from her task. I mean the whole remaining 2 weeks were for her to be on her best behaviour before the annunciation of a promotion for a staff member. If she was promoted she would then be the head of Media and planning.
"Veronica?"
She snapped back out of her trance shaking her head to get back to herself.
"Umm can I call you back, I need to think about it."
"Sure, I don't want you to feel pressure Veronica"
And with that, she hung up. She looked at her phone releasing a sigh and holding it to her chest.
"So you weren't going to tell me that you have met someone." She heard the voice of her mother behind her making her jump.
"Jesu, Iya ejo don't do that again." She spoke to her mom in her native tongue Yoruba.
(Jesus, mom please)
She wasn't fluent but she liked speaking to her mom to learn more and she could it understand it which helped.
"First off, don't say the Lord's name in my house secondly, why didn't you tell me about this person."
"I didn't think it was a big deal," she said leaning on the counter."
" I should slap you, didn't I just ask about your life and you were here saying, ooh just the usual mom nothing new." She said impersonating her daughter
" really mom." " yes daughter" she shook her head at her mother's antics.
Her mother walked up to her rubbing her shoulder.
"Ronnie, why don't you want to go out with him."
"Who said it was a man."
"Abeg, shebi you were the same person that used to cry for boyfriend every second of your life."
They both laughed together.
"Now what's the problem, is something wrong with him?" Her mother raised an eyebrow
"No, I just don't want him to interfere with my work."
She heard her mom give the longest kiss of her teeth at the same time she rolled her eyes.
"Abeg, I don tire the reason why you don't want to go see this man is because of your job seriously? Veronica" She said speaking a small bit of pidgin
Pidgin( broken English in Yoruba)
(Please, I'm tired)
"Mommy you don't understand, I'm so close you know how I've never stopped talking about this and I really want to I haven't come this far for nothing."
"You make it seem as if this outing is going to get you fired. It's not as if he is your boss or anything."
Veronica made a face
"VERONICA ADEOLA CALHOUN, are you trying to tell me you are seeing your boss."
She flinched at her mother's loudness. "Mommy calm down he isn't my boss he just worked in the company for a short time." She explained.
"Wait a minute, is he the same guy you told me about the last time I came to your house."
She shyly nodded.
Her mother busted out laughing
"The guy that you were so upset about is now taking you out. I must say I'm not even surprised."
"Kini"
(What)
"Veronica, look you aren't getting younger one day you might even regret not doing as much as you did.
Please for me go to the outing even if it's horrible you have something to tell."
After leaving her mothers house. Veronica stared at her phone she decided she would accept the outing. She also was puzzled on the fact he didn't call it a date. She held her head this is what she meant when she said she didn't want any distractions.
Reaching her phone she quickly sent a message accepting the outing and threw her phone grabbed her pillow and screamed curses as if she was a teenage girl texting her crush.
—————
The next day at work Veronica was sitting outside her boss's desk working on an ad for their new client. The client wanted to promote clothing and she had an idea she was working on.
While she was working on the blueprint for it she didn't even notice the delivery man making his way to her.
"Excuse me miss are you a miss Calhoun? I have a delivery of flowers to be delivered to you." The man asked holding a big bouquet of white Tulips.
Speechless all she could do was nod her head as she saw the man place the bouquet on her desk. She signed the document which stated she received the package.
As soon as the man left Imani came rushing to her desk.
Veronica was still shocked that were flowers on her desk and that they were beautiful.
"Earth to Ronnie, girl you ok look like you seen a ghost?"
"Yeah I'm sorry, I'm just shocked I've never had this done for me before."
"Girl there's even a note look." Imani took the card and gave it to her.
Get ready for 10 pm and dress causal~Ahmad
"Well what's it say, you out here being quiet and shit"
Veronica just gave the card to let Imani read it
Imani's eyes widened and she squealed covering her mouth.
She quickly grabbed Veronica's hands and dragged her straight to the bathroom. The girl had a strong grip.
"Girl this man out here getting you flowers and shit and he talking about dress causal oooh. Why didn't you tell me he asked you out." She hit her friend annoyed at her for keeping the information from her.
"I only accepted last night I wasn't even going to go before until I spoke to my mom."
"Do you have any idea where you are going?"
" I'm just as clueless as you are Imani."
"Oooh you need to tell me everything afterwards I wanna know what the casual look is for.
Veronica giggled at her friend and promised she would tell her how the date went.
——————
After Veronica had finished work at 8 pm she had her 30-minute nap so she wasn't tired and used the remaining 1hr and a half to re-shower and get ready.
Veronica wore a hoodie and some dark blue denim ripped jeans. She had to get her hair done after she had sweated out her hair when she had last seen him. She now had some faux locs and it really complimented and sharpened her face.
When 10 arrived she heard a knock on the door and slightly jumped. She doubled checked her appearance making sure she looked good and went to open the door.
Standing at his 6,7 height Ahmad wore a white polo shirt with some black joggers and finished it off with some black and white Jordans. His hair was packed in his famous man bun and boy did he look handsome.
Veronica licked her lip at the thought that this was the same man who had her screaming his name begging him to let her cum one night.
"You look handsome," she said as she eyed the silver cross around his neck.
"You look beautiful as you always do."
He said while he looked at her.
Ahmad was in a daze she looked absolutely stunning he wanted to take her to his bed and put her in many positions she would be forced to call sick to work. The causal look she had on didn't even look causal on her it was as if everything she wore would forever be sexy and she didn't even know it.
"You know you could have texted me letting me know you were outside." She said as she followed him to his car.
She was about to open the door herself when she heard him speak.
"When you are with me I don't want you opening doors got it."
She nodded her head
He grabbed her face "use your words, Veronica"
"I got it"
He smirked at her then opened the door letting her in then closing it. He then made his way to the driver's side.
After he started the car they drove in silence for the first 5 minutes.
"Thank you for the flowers, they were beautiful"
"You're welcome, I'm happy you liked them."
"So tell me, where have you kidnapped me to."
He raised an eyebrow at her "Kidnapped?"
"Yes, you haven't told me where you are taking me therefore you are kidnapping me."
They both laughed at her comment
"Well, I guess I'm kidnapping you then because where I'm taking you is a surprise."
"Oh really, well this better be a good surprise."
"Oh, it is because I always aim to please."
—————-
He parked in the car park and Veronica waited for him to open the door she almost opened it again which resulted in her hand getting smacked.
"I can't believe you really smacked me," she said as she was getting out of the car with his help.
" I did warn and yet you didn't listen."
She shook her head and afterwards took the time to look at her surrounding. He had taken her to a theme park. She had heard Imani speak about this theme park when her husband had taken them for a family outing.
they walked to the booth to pay to enter. She was really excited she loved theme parks from the day her dad took her to one.
"Hello, how many bands will you be needing." The Worker said with a smile.
"2 bands." She heard Ahmad say and when she turned to look at him he had the most neutral face but it looked so intimidating.
"That would be $20 please." The worker said a little bit shaken up by his voice and demeanour
Veronica went to reach for her purse to pay her share.
"What are you doing." He asked roughly
"I'm paying my share, what does it look like I'm doing."
"No you're not, put the purse away."
"Ahmad I can-"
"Put the purse away Veronica I'm not gonna say it again."
She rolled her eyes and put her purse sways letting him lay the lady and getting their hands strapped on their wrist.
As they walked in they could hear the screams and laughter of families.
"So, which ride do you want to go on first." She asked excited she already knew all the rides she wanted they were all scary. She hoped he wasn't going to be a baby about it.
"That one." He pointed at the sky drop ride.
She grinned "great choice let's go." Without thinking she linked arms with him as they went to the ride.
Ahmad however was loving how excited she was and was happy that she was coming out of her bubble more.
they arrived at the line and luckily the line moved quickly because 3 minutes later it was there turn. Which is when she then realised she never let go of linking his arm.
"Oops I'm sorry," she said finally letting go of him.
They got buckled up and that's when Veronica started feeling the jitters. She was always excited to ride the dangerous rides but then when it was time she would regret everything.
"Are you ok?" He asked while peeking at her through his side.
"Yes and no, I always do this I get so hyped up then when I finally get on the ride I feel like I'm gonna die." She laughed while also being afraid.
"Here hold my hand."
Veronica laughed but took his hand in her own
The ride started slowly going up until they reached the very top where everyone looked like ants around them.
She gripped his tighter and she smiled when she felt him stroke her hand.
"Ahmad than——Oooooh Aaaaaaaaah" Her words were interrupted when the ride randomly dropped.
They were then let out of the ride with Veronica looking stunned.
"Are you ok" He questioned
He hoped she was ok. He would feel bad that she didn't enjoy herself or wanted to go home he was enjoying spending time with her.
Veronica just looked into the distance before finally busting out laughing.
"Hahaha, that was so fun normally I never scream I'm always silent praying for God to not drop me but when I was going to say thank you it completely caught me off guard hahaha." She laughed some more wiping the laughing tears from her eyes.
Ahmad watched in astonishment, he was happy she was enjoying herself but also found her reaction funny.
Growing some confidence she went up to him to give him a quick peck on his lips. Her eyes widened at what she had done and she looked at the floor not knowing how to move on.
Ahmad was just as shocked that she even did that but he liked it and didn't want it to stop. Grabbing her face he leaned down and kissed her deeply gripping her head and she kissed him back immediately letting him lead the kiss.
If Veronica wasn't black her face would have been red from all that blushing.
They went on more rides and laughed some more they even found a photo booth and took some pictures. Eventually, they went to eat lunch once they got hungry. They were making their way back to his car when Veronica stopped looking at the booth the prizes were massive cuddly teddy bears.
Ahmad followed her eyes and looked at what she was starting at
"Do you want one?" He saw the twinkle in her eyes when he asked that question.
"Yes please" she nodded
He took her hand holding it as they made their way to the booth it was a basketball booth you get the ball in and you get a ball.
They watched as other couples tried and they didn't succeed. She could see some of the guy's girlfriends get upset as they walked away.
She tugged at his hands "Hey this looks rigged let's just go."
"No, you said you wanted one right and I'm going to get you one.
When it was their turn Ahmad stepped up.
"Hello, sir $5 for one shot and $8 for 2 shots."
Ahmad paid the man $5
" Are you sure you don't wanna go for the $8 Sir these teddy bears aren't that easy to win?"
"No, I'll stick with the $5." They both watched the man shrug.
Ahmad looked back at Veronica as she watched getting her phone out to record.
Ahmad took a deep breath and placed his fingers on the ball getting a good grip and getting ready to shoot. When he felt comfortable that's when he took that shot and ..... Swish the ball entered the net flawlessly.
The worker himself was shocked that someone had made it in. Ahmad smirked he used to play basketball back in high school and university but he never wanted to go further with it even tho he could have.
"Woooo yeaaaah nothing but net baby hehe," Veronica said hyping him up.
He collected the bear for her. "Wait, wait I wanna try Can I?" She pleaded with him
He couldn't say no to her and paid for the $8 for the two shots. He watched Veronica try the first and she air-balled making her mouth drop and then end up pouting.
Ahmad placed the bear on the floor and went behind her to help. Veronica could feel his breath on her neck and behind her ear. She could feel him guiding her hands on how to hold the ball.
"Take a deep breath." He watched as she did what he said. "And release." He helped her make the shot and the ball went in again.
"Yaaaay, we did it" she clapped
She took the bear from the man and held it in Ahmad's direction. He looked at her confused.
"You won me a bear and I won you a bear take it." She said playfully rolling her eyes as he took the beige bear and she took her blue one.
They both made their way to his car where he drove and parked Infront of her house. He turned off the ignition and went out to open the door for her. Veronica exited holding her bear close to her.
They both looked at each other admiringly. Veronica spoke first.
"I really really enjoyed myself Ahmad that was the best date I have ever been on and thank you for the flowers and bear again. I have never gotten flowers before so when I saw them at work I was speechless." She confessed.
Realising her mistake she quickly spoke up "outing I meant outing." She faced palmed herself.
"So you did see this as a date I'm happy you did I was worried if I said it was a date you would say no." He chuckled "It seems like you are going to see more of those flowers then to show how much you deserve them. I also enjoyed myself, Veronica." He said looking at her admiringly. He was slowly falling for her without even realising it.
The moon was shining making both their eyes sparkle. They both didn't realise it but they were leaning toward each other's touch slowly closing their eyes as they both felt their lips on each other.
Ahmad wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer and gripping her tight. He bit her lips making her moan and slide his tongue into her mouth kissing her passionately as Veronica moaned even more into the kiss. He gripped her thighs lifting her off the ground as she squealed kissing him even more. She had dropped the bear a long time ago. The bear was just on the floor watching their steamy kiss.
Veronica felt bold and bit his lip as well as she tightly wrapped her arms around his neck. Ahmad cornered her with the car behind her as he kissed all over her neck and gripped her ass even tightly making her hiss in pleasure as she bit his neck and tugged at his hair. She took it out of the man bun gripping his hair tightly. She could feel his print grinding into her making her moan his name in his ear whimpering at his touch.
Ahmad tried pulling down her hoodie a little bit to try and kiss her chest.
"I want you." He moaned in her ear making her pull him even closer as they went back to kissing each other deeply not letting each other breathe as they were practically sucking each other faces off.
They were so into the kiss that he then placed her on
The hood of the car. Her sweet moans in his ear begging and pleading to have him. She could feel herself becoming more and more wet.
"Ahmad please." She begged gripping his back tightly.
"Please what baby? Tell me what you want and I'll do it."
"I want you, all of you." She moaned in his ear.
They were so close to ripping each other's clothes off until the car alarm went off blaring very loudly.
Veronica did a slight scream at the spook both of them pulling apart. That's when she realised she was in a trance of his sense. Ahmad took out his Keys to shut the car off. They both panted heavily and laughed afterwards.
Veronica got off the car and grabbed her teddy bear she had completely forgotten everything including her surroundings.
Ahmad watched from his car as she made her way upstairs to her door. She turned back giving a wave before entering her house. Once he had seen she had made it inside he turned on the ignition not before fixing his print. He shook his head he was extremely hard and needed to take care of it. He looked back at her house once more before pulling off.
