Yasmin smiled and took a bite of her food looking at him intently." You're interesting to me Patrick."
" How so ?"
" You're kinda different than you come across at work."
" No I'm not. You've never said more than an occasional hello to me at work Yasmin Reynolds so you can't honestly say that." Patrick said and winked at her.
" OK. You got me there. You know our co-worker Leanne Conner?"
Patrick shook his head in disgust," Yeah I know her."
"Why are you looking like that?" Yasmin asked surprised by his reaction.
" You know your friend is a ho right? She has a reputation for getting around with men in the office. Matter of fact,do you know that geek Tom on the third floor? He's already letting the other guys know his corny ass is gonna get lucky. That chick right there is about two steps away from me filing a damn sexual harassment case on her ass...for real!" Patrick said.
" Damn are you serious? I mean I only brought her up because I thought you might be interested. Has she been after you that bad?" Yasmin asked.
"Yes. Leanne has no class whatsoever. Besides the fact physically she's not my type. Her whole demeanor is a turn off to me."
" You don't think that's a bit harsh? Leanne goes after what she wants. Men always want to put women down who are aggressive." Yasmin said rolling her eyes at him with a smirk on her face.
" Oh please. That's not it. I love aggressive women. After all,I'm an aggressive man. You need to know when your advances are wanted is the issue with her." Patrick said pausing." For instance if you came on to me at work, I'd be flattered.
Since the day I saw you, I've found you extremely attractive. I'm not telling you this to make you uncomfortable or anything. I just pride myself on being honest. So any advance you would ever make towards me would be a welcome distraction at the job. Your friend Leanne... well her advances are an unwelcome nuisance." Patrick concluded laying one of his killer smiles on me.
Well goddamn. He's talking about making me uncomfortable ? This fine motherfucker just made me wet! Yasmin thought squirming in her seat slightly.
" By the way. Your hair looks really pretty like that, you should wear it that way more often."
Yasmin self consciously put her hand up to her hair. She usually flat ironed it Sunday for the coming work week and wore it curly on the weekends. She was so hot from the trip she'd washed it and ran some curly pudding through it.
" Thank you Patrick."
" Yasmin are you seeing anyone ? You don't have to answer me if you don't want to of course but that's what I'd like to know."
Yasmin stood up grabbing her wine glass and walked over to the couch to sit. " I'm very single at the moment . I did have a live in boyfriend of two years. The last three months we've been strictly roommates though. Today is actually my first complete day of freedom!"
Patrick joined her on the couch," What do you mean by that ?"
" I mean, for three months we've been platonic roommates..no sex just living there. I didn't want to break the lease we had so close to it being over." Yasmin said turning to look directly in his eyes," I can't thank you enough for recommending me for the promotion."
" You deserved it. I didn't do anything but point out the obvious when I was asked." Patrick said looking at her. She's is going to drive me crazy tonight, Patrick thought.
" What color are your eyes Patrick,they're beautiful." Yasmin asked.
"Thank you. They're hazel but they change to more brown or green sometimes." Patrick couldn't help looking at her shapely thighs." So look I'm going to step out for a few minutes and get some air. I'll take the key-card so you don't have to get up to let me in in case you're asleep when I get back. I wont be gone long." Patrick said grabbing his sneakers and a jacket and making a beeline for the door.
Yasmin grabbed her cell phone to call her best friend Tasha.
" Tasha girl help me!" Yasmin said as soon as Tasha picked up.
" Girl what ? What's going on ? Aren't you in Miami?"
" Hell yeah I'm in Miami! How about this shit right here though...I'm kinda feeling like I wanna give my co-worker I came with some ass!" Yasmin said laughing." I feel like a real hussy right now. I'm so serious.
Tasha fell out laughing.
"Tasha stop I need your advice. Girl it's all messed up over here too. They messed up on our reservation. So we're in the same room! I'm talking one bed and this man is fine!" Yasmin said.
" Girl please you already know better than to ask me! I woulda been hopped on that brotha,came,rolled over and took my ass to sleep." Tasha said sucking her teeth.
" That's another thing...he aint even black!"
"Baby please, don't knock it till you try it!"
Yasmin paused for a moment," Oh hell no heffa you been holding out on me,what white dude did you lay up with?"
" Chile please. Your ass been steady laid up over there with Jarrod’s trifling ass. You know I told you about Nick!"
" That Italian guy ?" Yasmin asked.
" Umm Yes. Hell I know they like to talk like they're a whole other species from white folks...but they ass white too. We wont go into all that since you're short on time. At any rate you're interrupting my beauty sleep. Run your ass down to the gift shop and get you some condoms. What ever goes down, goes down. You're a woman and he's a man. He's just your coworker right ? Not your boss?" Tasha asked.
" No. With the promotion we have the same job title. I'm sure he makes more of course, he's been doing it longer but no. That's not an issue." Yasmin said thoughtfully." OK girl. I'll see you when I get back.
" Knock it out the box boo!" Tasha said laughing.
" Bye crazy!" Yasmin said laughing and hung up.
Tasha is right about one thing. Let me get my ass downstairs to this gift shop for some condoms. I hope it isn't closed she thought grabbing her purse. I'm just running downstairs real fast. I'll leave the door unlocked.
What Happens in Miami
Yasmin had been in the room alone almost three hours. I hope he's OK. Yasmin had spent the last few hours unpacking some of her clothes and had cleared away their dinner trolley and pushed it outside the door. Has he been here before? I never asked.
Twenty minutes later Yasmin was relaxing in the bed when she heard Patrick come in.
Patrick was doing the best he could to hold himself back. Yasmin couldn't even imagine the torture she was putting him through unknowingly. Patrick's jog had helped clear his mind. Now that he was back in the room with her,his body was tense all over again. I know she thinks I'm crazy right about now, Patrick thought. Yasmin laid there on the bed relaxed against the huge fluffy pillows,her arms crossed looking at him.
If I didn't know better and shit I really don't... I'd think his ass was on something. I know he isn't though, but the tension between us is unbearable! Yasmin thought kinda pissed he'd been gone so long. Shit I'm almost...almost ready to convince myself not to do a damn thing if it does come up!
" Are you OK?" Patrick asked " I went for a jog, so I'm going to take another shower. You wanna watch some T.V. together when I'm done ?"
"Ummhmm." Yasmin looking at him briefly then turning her eyes back to the T.V.
Patrick went into the bathroom and undressed. Well she's pissed. That could be a good sign. Maybe she missed me? Patrick thought laughing to himself. Ummhmm is universal black woman code for fuck you! If Yasmin would just look a little closer she would be able to see every single thing I want to do to her. I am not good at being subtle. Shit I know we're co-workers,this is now or never though Patrick thought quickly.
Patrick came out of the bathroom after his shower rubbing lotion on his chest and arms."Yasmin give me a hand please." Patrick said handing her his lotion." Thank you." Patrick said turning around smiling.
"Where have you been all this time ?" Yasmin asked " I know I don't have any reason to be, but I was worried about you." Lord help me this man feels good! Yasmin thought rubbing the lotion onto his back.
Patrick turned around to face her.
" Look Yasmin let me just lay it on the line since we're both grown. I'm not trying to piss you off by coming in here late and trying not to be around you. I really wanted to stay here with you. I'll be honest and say this Yasmin," Patrick said looking at her. " I'm staying away from you because I want you. I don't give a damn we work together. We wouldn't be the first people that worked together and dated. It's just crazy for me because before this trip, I didn't have a chance to see what was going on with you. " Patrick said.
"This is really the first time you and I have ever had a chance to talk. I've been wanting to though. I even asked a few people about you at work ." Patrick said laughing," But you have to be real slick with it at work or people are all in your business.
"What about Leanne ?"
" What about Leanne? Yasmin if that's your friend you already know the deal. I haven't given that woman not one word of encouragement. Like I told you the other day. Even if I had never laid eyes on you, I would have never looked at her."Patrick said moving closer towards her.
" Please stop thinking about her,because I'm not. Patrick said. " Yasmin, tell me what you want to do. because tonight I can't stay here with you. Not the way I'm feeling about you right now. "
Yasmin was speechless at his confession that he'd wanted her all along .It never even occurred to her that he was at all interested in her. So what am I going to do? I can't deny that I want to be with him so bad right now I can barely think straight. Three months of being celibate during her impending official breakup with Jarrod,was definitely rearing it's ugly head right now.
Patrick ran one strong hand up her back and into her hair, gently taking a handful of it and used it to tip her head to the side, exposing the column of her throat. At that moment Yasmin literally felt like her skin was on fire from Patrick's touch. " I love the way you smell. You smell sweet,like vanilla cupcakes or something" Patrick said leaving a trail of silky wet kisses along her neck." I thought I was going crazy on the plane sitting next to you." Patrick moaned" When you got out of the shower too."
Yasmin felt her heart beating out of her chest in anticipation of what was to come. Yet her body was completely relaxed. All of a sudden any reservations she'd had about being with him were suddenly out the window. “Do you want me to touch you Yasmin? I swear if you want me to stop ,I will. You don't have to worry about me respecting your wishes while we're sharing this room.”Patrick said between kisses. Respect? This man can have me almost any way he wants me right now. The last thing she wanted was for Patrick to stop.
Yasmin managed to moan " Don't stop." Those two words were all Patrick needed to hear, he slipped his hand between her thighs and found her wet with arousal already. Patrick's hands found themselves on each side of her waist lifting her tank top over her head."Lay back." Patrick said,Yasmin laid back on the bed and Patrick eased her shorts down until she was lying on the bed completely naked in front of him. Patrick stood up and took his shorts off so they were both completely naked." Your suits at work hide a lot..I knew you were beautiful but every inch of you is just...I'm speechless."
Yasmin laughed softly," Good, I don't want you talking anyways."she said beckoning him to come closer. Patrick climbed back into bed with her and began kissing her so passionately she was aching for him. Patrick placed placed one breast in his mouth sucking and teasing her nipples, while his hands traveled between her legs and ran his long thick fingers over her clit. Yasmin gasped as he fingered it, teasing it ,making her so wet she could barely stand it any longer. Waves of pleasure coursed through her body and she had to force herself not grind down, seeking more contact. Months of not being touched had her body of edge.
“Part your legs for me, baby. I want to taste you.” Yasmin spread her thighs as wide as they’d go. Patrick ran fingers slick with her juices over her drenched folds and rubbed his finger back and forth against her swollen clit, pushing her body until the edge of a climax tormented her. Yasmin didn't thinks she'd be able to hold out for his tongue. Yasmin never thought for one minute she'd ever turn that down but the need to feel him deep inside her was too strong." No. Come here I need you now. Her sex felt like a hub of nerves that were going to explode if the switch wasn't flipped.
Patrick groaned. “ Damn baby you're so wet. You’re so excited. I want to see you come” Yasmin's body felt so good there was no need for words. Not that she could manage any at this point anyway. Only moans. Yasmin caressed his face and continued kissing him deeply her hips grinding to his hand playing in her sopping wet pussy.
Yasmin's pussy had primed itself, hot and ready to take in everything he had to offer. Her breasts felt heavy, nipples erect and sensitive. Patrick kneeled between her legs gently holding them apart and slowly traced over her labia with his dick teasing her pussy. Making her shiver in anticipation. Patrick slowly entered her. She gasped at the invasion and how stretched her muscles felt with Patrick finally inside her .He felt amazing. It had been months since she’d had sex and she was tight. Gently, pushing himself inside her, widening her, easing his way inside. He did it so slow she thought she’d go insane. Once he was as deep as he could go, they both could do nothing more than stop and savor the moment. Each of them breathing heavily " Goddamn you feel good, this pussy feels so good." Patrick moaned and then began kissing her slowly and thrusting in and out of her deep and hard. Rotating his hips with each thrust Patrick had no intention of leaving any part of Yasmin's body untouched.
Yasmin met each thrust until she felt her body begin to come undone! " I'm coming Patrick! Please don't stop!" Yasmin cried.
"Me too, fuck me baby!" Patrick increased his pace gently pounding until they both cried out in release. Yasmin could feel her pussy still contracting around his dick. Patrick continued kissing her," Look at me." Yasmin looked into his eyes that now looked green.
" That was just what I needed Patrick," Yasmin murmured rubbing his muscular back.
" Was it?" Patrick asked," I don't want it to be the last time." Patrick said rolling onto his back.
Yasmin laughed," After tonight do you really think I'm going to let you sleep next to me and not touch me again? You're crazy. Besides that was just for starters." Yasmin said rolling over onto his chest and rubbing her hands over his taut muscles. Patrick just smiled to himself. I have two weeks to make this woman never want to leave my side he thought before kissing her. His dick was already semi hard again,ready for round two.
Going Home
The past two weeks had been amazing. Yasmin and Patrick had managed to hold enough classes several times 5 days a week during the past two weeks to train the entire hospital staff.
Even with the long days they spent at the hospital working,they also spent every night together. Another room had of course became available after three days but they declined it. They ate at great restaurants, shopping and Yasmin had insisted on going to some of the Latin dance clubs and they had a ball. On top of it all,every moment they could be alone, was consumed with mind blowing sex. Patrick was attentive to every part of her body. Nor did he know the meaning of the word quickie. They'd talked about so many things, but hadn't touched on their future. Were they even a couple?
I've spent an entire two weeks with this man doing everything under the sun. Where is it all leading to? Yasmin thought to herself. I really like him and this doesn't feel like just sex to me. I don't know where his head is at though. Yasmin thought throwing the last of her things into her luggage.
Patrick was already downstairs checking them out .They were going to be on a 6pm flight back to Chicago.
Patrick was aware of how quiet Yasmin was the entire flight home. Once they landed the silent treatment continued. It was starting to bother him. Their cars were parked next to each other,and Patrick loaded her bags into her car.
" Come here," Patrick said pulling her into his arms." You've been ignoring me all day,half speaking to me. What's the problem? Did I do something wrong?"
" No Patr
ick you did everything right. That's the problem. Like I told you, I just will be moving into my place....now but my ex and I parted ways more than three months ago. So what I'm feeling right now isn't a rebound thing. I really have feelings for you and they aren't just sexual. I just feel stupid because after two weeks of well...let's be for real here... living with you, I never bothered to see where your head is at. I really don't even have the right to ask you for more. " Yasmin said leaning against her car and avoiding his eyes. She felt like she wanted to cry.
" Yasmin,look at me." Patrick said gently taking her chin and turning her face to look towards him." You just noticed me two weeks ago. I've been checking you out for months . So yes everything went down quickly but I just look at it like this. When it's right it's right. We are right together. You were scaring the shit out of me right now not speaking to me. Especially when I'm over here all ready worried about how I'm going to sleep without you tonight." Patrick leaned down to kiss her. Yasmin wrapped her arms around him tightly," I was wondering about that too."
" I don't lie,even in my pillow talk Yasmin. When I said you were mine,I meant it. I'm going to say it here and now if you want to hear it...we are officially a couple. This will be our third week." Patrick said smiling." Your place isn't even together so just follow me to my place. Let's ring in our new relationship"
" Sounds good to me." Yasmin said opening her car door." Let's go."
Monday Morning
"OK Yasmin, tell me everything." Leanne said as soon as I'd made it to my desk." What are you talking about ?" I said.
" Give me all the information on Patrick Quinn! Does he have a girlfriend ? Or is he gay ?" Leanne asked," Oh my God ! I hope that fine specimen of a man isn't gay!"
I had to hold in my laughter." Actually I found out a lot about him. Patrick is a really cool guy. He's not gay and he does have a woman in his life. Patrick sounds very serious about her from what he told me so I'd just leave it alone. If I were you. He sounds like a very happy man if you ask me! Besides what's going on with Tom from the third floor?"
