Chapter 10
The weekend came and went. Mychal and I did a little shopping but mostly lounged around. I never used to like lazy weekends, but now, it's just different.
I am focused on my work when my phone rings in my purse, breaking my concentration. Checking the screen, I see that it is Dr. Mason's office. I consider letting it go to voice mail, but I know I will just have to call them back.
With a sigh I answer, “Hello.”
“Hi, may I speak with Piper Pearson?”
“This is she.” I respond.
“Ms. Pearson, this is Tina from Dr. Mason's office, calling with your test results.”
“Yes?” I'm holding my breath.
“The test came back negative. However, she wanted me to remind you it could be too early to be sure. If you don't start, you should either call the office or take a home test, and call if you get a positive result. Otherwise, start taking your pills once you do start.”
I let out the breath, relieved. “Thank you. I will do that.” I end the call.
Instead of sending a text, I give Mychal a call at lunch to let him know. He picks up after the second ring.
“Hey, Baby. Everything okay?”
“Hi. Yeah, everything's fine. I'm sorry, I hope I'm not interrupting anything important, I know you’re busy.”
“Piper, what's wrong? No, you aren't interrupting anything. I was just about to grab lunch... and besides you can call me anytime, it doesn't matter what's going on.”
I can hear the concern in his voice. Normally I text him.
“I just got my call from Dr. Mason's office and wanted to let you know the results were negative.”
He grows quiet... so quiet I wonder if I've dropped the call. “Mychal? Are you there?”
“Yeah, sorry, I'm here.” I swear he sounds disappointed... but why?
“I just thought I'd call instead of sending a text.” I say to fill the empty line.
“I'm glad you did. Hey, the test isn't a hundred percent though, right? I mean, we still have to wait for you to get your period before you can start your pills.”
“Yeah, so we still have a little longer using the dreaded condoms.” I say trying to lighten the mood.
He chuckles and says “Well, if I have to wear them to have you then I will just have to deal.”
“You better. You've got me hooked now so you don't have much choice.”
“You have no idea how badly I want you.”
“Well, you will have to show me tonight, because I have to get back to work.”
“You are such a tease!”
“Me? No way!”
“Piper?”
“Yeah?”
“I love you, Baby.”
“I love you, too.”
I end the call with a sigh.
My work week is typical, except for Tara backing off. I’m not sure if she has finally given up her tormenting, or if she is just planning her next move; either way, I do not care. For the first time, I am truly enjoying life.
Just two weeks have passed since Kenzie's birthday, yet so much has changed.
Mychal and I have plans to go out with her and Tyler Friday night, so when my dad calls, we set a dinner date for Thursday. We make arrangements to meet, and I let him know I may bring someone with me. It's obvious he is curious, but he doesn’t pry. After hanging up, I send Mychal a text.
Me: Hey...
Mychal: Hey, Baby. What's up?
Me: Would you be willing to have dinner with me and my dad Thursday?
Me: If you don't want to it's fine.
Me: I know it's a big step, if you aren't ready for that it's fine.
Me: I'm sorry.
Me: I shouldn't have asked, it's probably too soon.
Mychal: STOP lol
Mychal: Are you going to give me a chance to respond now? lol
Me: I'm sorry.
Mychal: lol Stop it. You’re fine. Of course, I will have dinner with you and your dad. I'd love to.
Me: Thank you :)
Mychal: Anything for you. I haven't seen your dad in a long time.
Mychal: Question for you...
Me: Yeah?
Mychal: Are you sure you’re ready to tell your dad about us?
Me: Yeah... I am :) I love you and I want the world to know you're mine ;)
Mychal: Good. I love you and want that too ;)
Mychal: One more question...
Me: ???
Mychal: Your dad... he's not going to try and shoot me or anything... is he?
Me: OMG! No! lmao
Mychal: lol Just checking.
Me: I'm glad I could clear that up for you lol I love you. See you soon?
Mychal: Yeah, I'm going to leave here in about an hour. I love you too Baby.
At five o'clock on Thursday I'm shutting down my computer when I hear, “Hey Baby, you ready?”
“As ready as I'm going to be.” I smile.
“Are you nervous?” He questions.
“No... yes... maybe...”
He laughs at me.
“You know... you are always laughing at me, I'm going to develop a complex.” I pout.
He continues to laugh but leans in and kisses my forehead. “I'm laughing with you, Baby.”
“Uh huh, sure you are.” I say as we head out to his SUV.
It doesn’t take us long to pull up at the restaurant where we are meeting dad. I see his truck and look over to Mychal. “Well, looks like he is already inside. Let's get this over with.”
“It will be fine... try to relax.”
Now it is my turn to laugh. “I don't know why I'm so nervous. You've known my dad forever.”
“Yeah, but I wasn't your man before.”
“Mmmm, I really like hearing you say that.”
“Say what? That I'm your man?” He smirks and leans in kissing my neck.
“Yes... that...” I say on a moan.
He laughs. “Come on, Baby. You keep moaning like that, and I'm sure your dad won't appreciate the hard on I will be sporting.”
“Probably not.” I agree with a chuckle.
As we enter the restaurant, Mychal has a supporting hand at the small of my back. I glance around and I spot dad right away. He sees us too... his eyes going straight to Mychal and the location of his hand. I feel a renewed sense of nervousness. My dad has known Mychal since we were kids, but how will he react to this change in our relationship.
As we get to the table dad stands in greeting. “Hey guys.” He seems tense.
Mychal offers his hand in greeting and they shake. “Mr. Pearson. It's good to see you again.”
“You too, Mychal. It's been a long time.” He says his eyes looking between the two of us.
“Hi Dad.” I lean in for him to kiss my cheek.
“I'm glad you guys could join me. Apparently, we have some catching up to do. So, the two of you... how long has this been going on?”
“Wow, Dad. Way to cut straight to it.”
He laughs. “Sorry, kid. You caught me off guard. Two weeks ago, when we had dinner you were single, at least, I thought you were. Now, here the two of you are... seemingly very much together. I'm trying to figure out if this is new... or if it's been going on for years and I'm just blind.”
Mychal places a calming hand on my knee. “I'm sorry, sir. While Piper and I have both had feelings for each other for many years, our relationship is very new. But please know that I love your daughter very much and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for her.”
I feel the flush of heat in my cheeks as he speaks. I swear I've just fallen in love with him all over again.
Dad clears his throat. “I've always liked you, Mychal. I appreciate you coming here tonight with Piper. I know it isn't easy... facing your girl's dad.” He winks at me before continuing, “Piper, would never admit it, but I always knew she loved you. Just know, she is my baby girl. I loved her long before anyone else in this world, and no one will ever love her as much as I do. I want her to be happy and I never want to see her hurt. Get what I'm saying? And please, call me Tim.”
“Yes, sir... I mean Tim. Thank you. Yes, I understand.” He looks over at me. “I love your daughter with every piece of my heart, and you have my word, I will never intentionally hurt her.”
I cannot take anymore; if they continue, I will be in tears. “Please stop. I'm right here. I love you both... so much. But, can we eat now?”
We all laugh, and I sit here relieved and content. My two favorite men seem to have an understanding amongst themselves.
At this table, there is more love for me than I feel I deserve, but I take it happily. We enjoy a great dinner with no tension.
When it is time to go, Mychal insists on taking care of the bill.
In the parking lot, dad hugs me. “Well kiddo, it's great to see you happy... and to tell you the truth, I was relieved when you walked in with this guy tonight.”
He shakes Mychal's hand and tells him, “Mychal, until next time... take care of our girl.”
“You have my word.”
I sigh as I sink into my seat in his SUV. As Mychal gets behind the wheel, I’m smiling.
“That wasn't so bad, was it?” He says returning my smile.
“Not at all. Mychal, I'm so happy! YOU make me happy! I love you more than you will ever know.”
“I love you too, Baby. And I meant everything I said to your dad. You know I have a past... but my heart... it's never belonged to anyone but you.”
My heart is so full as we head back to his place.
He closes the door and has me instantly in his arms. A lighthearted giggle escapes me.
“That is the most amazing sound.” He says nuzzling my neck.
I bite my lip, releasing a soft moan as his hand slides under my shirt. His touch always makes me weak.
“Mychal.” I softly whisper his name.
“Come with me, Baby.” He says just as softly, taking my hand and leading me to the bedroom.
Standing in the middle of his room he takes his time undressing me. Caressing each part of skin as it’s exposed. By the time he has me naked, I am wet and needy.
Now, it is my turn. I savor his exquisite body as I uncover it a little at a time. My need is a fire burning deep inside my core. Burning so deep, so hot, only Mychal can extinguish the flame; only for him to reignite it again and again. It is a very pleasurable cycle I hope continues for the rest of my life.
He takes my hand again, walking us over to the foot of the bed. He sits and pulls me to him, my back against his chest. This is something different, something new.
His palm slides across my stomach, up between my tits, up my neck, cradling my chin he turns my head enough so that he can kiss me. He breaks the kiss all too soon turning my head again, so I am now facing forward. I realize I am now staring at myself, no, staring at us in the oversized mirror on his dresser.
“Do you see how beautiful you are? How amazing we are together?”
He moves his hands with a feather lite touch over my body. Holding the weight of my tits in his hand while his thumbs massage my already hard nipples. Watching him doing this turns me on even more. I squeeze my thighs together trying to ease some of the pressure building.
He sees this, of course, and moves his hand down my body at a pace so slow, it is torture.
“You like watching... don't you, Baby? Watching my hands. Curious what they will do next.”
Just as he says this, he reaches the top of my pussy, but he doesn’t linger. When he quickly moves his hand back to my stomach, I whimper and swivel my hips on his lap slightly.
I catch his smirk in the mirror. It is frustrating. I just want relief.
“Mmmm, you see, Baby... watching me is turning you on... you don't know what I'm going to do next...” He slips his hand back down to my pussy; he rubs me momentarily before stroking a finger into my slit.
He licks his lips and I stare into his half-lidded eyes. The vision is intoxicating. “Always so ready for me.” He moans. “I will never get enough. I know I've said it before, but I love how your body responds to me.”
He shifts me, so he can position his cock. “I want you to watch me make love to you like this. See how perfectly we fit together.”
We both moan as he slides insides me. I am mesmerized by how we look. This is such an intimate moment, so passionate.
I am so close; he knows it. Each thrust pushes me closer. I watch as he rubs my clit. “That's it, Baby. Give it to me. I want to watch you cum with me.”
His words are my undoing.
“Open your eyes, Baby. Watch. See what I see when you cum. It's beautiful.” I do as he requests, and I am rewarded with seeing him go over the edge. I feel each hot burst of his cum as it shoots deep inside me. We sit there for a moment, staring at each other for a moment through the mirror.
“That was amazing, Mychal... so amazing, I don't feel so bad about not using a condom.” I chuckle.
“Shit. I wasn't even thinking, Piper. I'm sorry.”
With a sigh I tell him, “It's okay.”
“I honestly wasn't even thinking. I lose my mind when I'm with you. Do you think you should take a home test...? I mean since you haven't started yet?”
“No, I'm sure it's just all the added exercise.” I wink at him before continuing, “I will start soon enough.”
With that, we don't say another word. We just clean up and settle in for the night.
A couple weeks pass, and we seem to have settled into a comfortable routine.
We spend most nights at Mychal's place; we have realized it is difficult for me to be quiet when we are intimate. I try, it just does not happen. We really do not need Kenzie and Tyler hearing us. I could never look them in the eye again without embarrassment showing.
We still spend a lot of our free time with them however, and for that I could not be happier. I worried that our relationship would somehow hurt my friendship and the closeness of Mychal and Kenzie, but in fact, it has done just the opposite. I believe it has brought us all closer.
