They Say Love Is Blind (9 page)

Momentarily she forgot about the girl in the other room and appraised his round
ed
ass and the line of his back that tapered down to a narrow waist. Damn...no; DAYUM!!!

She shook her head and quickly smoothed down her hair. Lee used his feet to find his undies and slipped them on quickly. "Stay there, I'll get your clothes."

"My...panties and bra are on the chair." She whispered. He found them and handed them to her and she climbed beneath the comforter to pull them on frantically. She was hoping to be at least partially dressed before Rosalind made her appearance; but no such luck.

"
Hey, o que é que fazes aqui?
”
She rounded the glass block and froze in her spot at the sight of Tory peeking out from beneath the comforter. The Portuguese woman's face was in complete shock and her mouth formed a large O.

"Getting dressed." Lee was fastening his pants. "Roz, we'll be right out."

"Oh my G
od! I'm so sorry!" She scurried out of the room. Lee reached down and felt for Tory's dress. She took it from him in embarrassment. What was that woman doing just walking into a grown man's bedroom? He was only seconds from being butt naked!

"Roz comes by on Saturdays to help me with some errands and things; grocery shopping and such." At seven am???

"Why so early?"

"Well to get it out of the way. She's got kids and a hubby." When she was all dressed, Lee reached for her hand. "And when she's not helping me with errands then one of my brothers and sisters do. I don't need much help
;
I do my own chores, laundry etc."

When they reached the living room, Rosalind was busily opening the drapes.
Tory
saw that she'd disposed of the two containers of bottled water. The woman looked at her and Tory saw the recognition. Roz's eyes did a quick scan of her disheveled form before giving her a worried look.
"I'm so sorry, I-he's usually
alone."

"Roz, this is Tory." Lee seemed not the least affected by the fact that both women were uncomfortable.
"I remember, from the restaurant." She hurried over and offered her hand. Roz was pretty, appearing to be in her early thirties. She was tall, probably five ten, but her height did a lot to counteract her weight. She was a big woman but also statuesque one.

The two women clasped hands and as Lee moved towards the kitchen Tory hurried to the couch where her purse still sat and her shoes lay on the floor.

"Hon, do you want coffee?" Lee called.

"Yes." Both women replied in unison. They stared at each other suddenly.

"Three coffees coming up."

Tory focused on
putting on her
shoes...damned feet had swollen and they didn't want to go on easily
.
"So..." Roz stood there with her arms crossed before her. "You and Lee are...together?"
"Uhm..." She hadn't thought that far.

"The reason I ask is because your shoes were on the floor." She gave Tory a steady look. "And this is the path that he walks. This is the type of thing that could cause him a serious injury...something as small as a carelessly strewn shoe."

Tory's mouth opened and then closed. She was embarrassed and wasn't sure what to say. "I'll keep that in mind."

Roz watched her, seeming to want to say more but instead she turned and went to the kitchen. Wow, no one had ever dismissed her so completely. Tory limped to the bathroom and quickly had a meltdown at the sight of her hair. She put it in some order with the items in her bag and then she washed her face and found mouthwash to gurgle with. She didn't like facing someone who obviously didn't like her, while wearing day old panties and having bed head, but she had no choice.
She walked back to the living room bravely and Lee called out to her from the kitchen. "Tory, we're in here."

The kitchen was open, a bar and stools defining the space. Yet off to the side was a small dining area near two large windows that overlooked the city. A walk out balcony was nearby. This was just...awesome.
"How do you take your coffee, Babe?" Tory resisted the urge to glance at Roz to see if she'd answer, but the woman was already sipping her drink.

"Cream and sugar."

"Non dairy creamer, ok?"

"Perfect."
He poured her coffee carefully and then passed it to her. The cream and sugar he placed on the breakfast bar, and then last a spoon from a drawer.

"I was telling Roz about Club Kat last night. The music was HOT! Didn't you like that band, Baby?"
"Yeah, I'm new to Reggaeton but I definitely like it."

"Tory, honey, you have to have
a Portu
guese rib
the way you danced!"

Roz laughed in a joking way. "Lee you don't have a Latin girl you have a black one. Man I know you're blind, but you're not that blind are you?!"

Lee considered his coffee, sipping without comment. Tory blinked. He did know that she was black??? He'd touched her hair...it was relaxed but...

Lee suddenly turned and poured his coffee down the drain. "Tory, we'll take you home. Is that okay, Roz?"
Roz was still chuckling. "Of course." Her eyes locked on Tory's before she gave one last laugh.

"I'm going to shower real quick." He said as he left the kitchen. "I won't be long."

When Lee was gone, Roz stood and moved about the kitchen, putting everything back in its place. The Portuguese woman ignored her and Tory quickly stood and went into the living room, feeling self conscious. She could hear the shower going in the bathroom and the movements of Roz in the kitchen.
Feeling awkward, Tory quickly picked up her things intending to slip out of the apartment. She didn't care if she looked a hot mess and smelled of sex. She was going to catch the bus and go home. She was uncomfortable and it wasn't all because of Roz, something about Lee's reactions made her feel unsure. She didn't know what was up with him but she wanted to be gone.

She was just reaching out to press the button for the elevator when she paused. She closed her eyes and bit her lips, recalling the fun they'd had at the club; and then after. No, she wasn't going to run away like she had before. She marched to the bathroom and knocked on the closed door.
"Yeah?" Came his voice.

She opened the door and slipped into the bathroom, closing it behind her. "Um...I think I'm
going to pass on the ride home. My bus stop isn’t far and
-"

"Roz makes you uncomfortable?" The water turned off and he pulled back the shower curtain. He reached for a towel and Tory's breath caught in her throat. She was supposed to be saying something but for the life of her she couldn't recollect what...He was gorgeous standing there with water streaming down his toned body as he quickly dried.

"Tory?"
"Oh, um, I don't think she likes me very much." And you act like you're trying to get rid of me...
Lee wrapped the towel around his waist and gestured to her. "Come here, honey." She walked to him slowly. He had a serious expression on his face. She stopped walking when she was a mere foot from him. He placed his hands around her shapely body.

"I've known Roz since I was a kid. She's like family. For a moment I forgot that you don't know her like that. I could tell that you were really uncomfortable. If you don't want Roz to drive you home then that's fine. But I...don't want our day to end."

"
You don’t?
I thought you wanted me to go."

His brow arched. "I know your feet are sore. When I was lying in bed last night...I wished that I could drive you home and then I hoped you'd let me call you a cab. When she came over I thought it would be perfect...I just didn't want you walking to the bus stop, is all. Okay? I don't want you to leave. As a matter of fact..." He stepped closer to her. "I'd like to keep you here for a few more hours." His hands moved to her bottom and rubbed her softly. "Tory?"

"Hmmm?" She was staring deeply into his sexy hooded eyes.

"Does two coffee breaths cancel each other out?" His lips were a mere inch from hers.

"Kiss me and let's find out." She muttered and then he kissed her softly. Her hands moved to his shoulders, still wet from his shower, and then up to his dripping curls. Lee pulled her tight against his body, his fingers caressing her full rear end.

She pulled back suddenly. "Lee?"

He blinked. "What?"

"You did know that I'm black, before your friend told you, right?"

"Yeah," h
e shrugged. "I could tell that you were black. And later when I asked Macey what you looked like she told me that you were a light skinned black woman with a voluptuous body and a gorgeous face. Also, that you were a big tipper." He added the last with a grin.

Tory blushed. "Gorgeous? Your sister honestly said that?"

He placed his hand over his heart. "Cross my heart. That's what she said."

Tory smiled. "Lee, maybe we should get out of the bathroom."

He sighed. "I guess you're right." He refastened his towel. "Do you want to go shopping with us?" He asked hopefully. "Don't let Roz make you uncomfortable. She's just very protective of me, is all. We've been friends forever and she knows how it's been for me with girlfriends."

Girlfriends. Did he mean girlfriend or
friend that is a girl
? She looked at the sexy man. She wanted to say, 'hell no.' She d
idn't want to go shopping with
them
. She wanted to go shopping with HIM. But she wasn't ready to say goodbye to him yet, either. Plus it would probably aggravate that Roz to no end if she tagged along.

"Well I have to shower and change-" He was already moving past her to turn the shower back on.
"Shower here, then put your clothes back on, and we'll get you back to your place, then you can change. How's that--? Oh, and put on some walking shoes!"

She laughed. "I can't shower here! My hair-" He pulled off his towel.

"Come. Shower with me,
q
uerida
."

She sucked in a long breath. "Okay." Quickly, she pulled off her clothes and they entered the shower together. He grabbed the soap before she could and began washing her body. She would have been timid about it, had it not been for his obvious show of 'happiness' as his hands explored her soapy flesh.
He groaned. "
Tu és tão linda
..." His mouth lowered to her breasts and he drew one nipple, then the other into his mouth, suckling gently. She winced as the pleasure engulfed her, groaning as quietly as she could manage. Her hand slid between them and she wrapped her fingers around his thick shaft.

Lee shuddered and he moved to enter her, but she pulled out of his grip and sank down to her knees, no longer worried about the water soaking her hair. She tentatively kissed the tip of his swollen cock head.

He cried out, body jerking. "Tory..." His fingers slid lightly into her wet hair as he threw his head back. She could see his adam's apple bobbing as he repeatedly gulped. She had always wondered what it would be like to place a man into her mouth. It was the man that made it feel wonderful; because Lee's groans and shivers broadcast each stroke of her tongue. It was obvious that she was bringing him great pleasure and that alone brought her pleasure.

She was tentative at first, carefully lapping, and kissing and sucking just the head. But his moans encouraged her to be more daring and she slipped her mouth over his length until he was almost at the back of her throat. Suddenly she gagged, almost choking.

He was breathing hard, trying not to move, trying not to cause her to choke again and she remembered her brief experimentation with purging. She only gagged when her finger touched the back of her tongue. She sucked him again, this
time
running the tip of him along the roof of her mouth and down her throat.

"Oh, Torrrrryy!" He called out her name. She couldn't believe it, but she was deep throating! She felt his fingers turn into fists in her hair as he tried to control himself. She sucked and bobbed her head over him, swallowing the tantalizing mixture of saliva, precum and water from the shower.

"I'm going to cum!" He cried out. He tried to pull from her mouth but she wanted to taste him and wouldn't allow it. The first creamy spurts shot down her throat and she did gag again. But then she released him enough to grip his shaft in her fist, working him until the last drop had spilled from him. She stroked his t
ight scrotum once and he gasped and jerked.

"Oh my G
od..." He helped her to stand. "Oh Baby..." He was breathless as he held on to her.
"I take it, I did it right?"

He nodded silently. He suddenly reached up and put his hand on her cheek. "Tory...I think that we get along really good. And I love being with you—not just like this, but just talking to you and dancing and...well, I do like this too."

She smiled.

"I want to be with you, all the time; a couple. I know we haven't known each other long, but-"
"I was hoping you'd want that. I
’ve been watching you just like you’ve been watching me. I thought…” she hesitated and plunged forward, “I thought that’s all there would ever be, watching and wishing.”
