Glass Heart

Sage walked around her house in nothing but a tank top and panties as the rain fell outside. She had a pretty long day with getting to know Martin. They both felt the need to get to know each other now on a family basis. Marti knew him and his late brother had a lot of the same qualities and for Sage to get to know him, it'd be like she was getting to know her father. So they spent the afternoon togethrr after she got off work and walked around for a bit which led to lunch and dinner at Joyce's house.

She wasn't home for most of the day, which was strange for her considering the fact that her home was her safe havan. She felt like no wrong could be done to her at home. Sage walked upstairs to her bedroom and laid down, waiting for Kareem to get back. Since getting back from the cruises, he has yet to see Tyreke.

Stan recently told him how he quit, saying the job was too much. Kareem took the into consideration, knowing Tyreke did mention the possibilities of quiting, but never about ignoring him. He looked everywhere. From his home to the local bar they hang out at. Even the strip club and nobodies seen him. So he went to the police station and filled out a missing persons report.

And that's when Jamie popped into his mind. So he filled out two.

He unlocked the front door to Sages place and kicked off his shoes before jogging up the stairs and pushing open her room door. She was laid on hee stomach, facing away from him. And also giving him a nice view. He pulled off his shirt and crawled into bed, on top of her.

"You're heavy, get off" she laughed. He ignored her and kissed her neck and jaw line "Any luck? "

"Nope" he rolled off to the side and put his hand on her ass "So I went and filled out a report for him and Jamie"

Sage sighed "I hope they're ok. But other than that, how was your day?" She looked at him and blushed, looking away.

"Its was cool" he shrugged before laughing "I did some last minute s**t on your surprise. What about your day with Martin?"

"It was fine, he's a cool guy. But I feel like he's trying too hard to be a dad to me"

"Or maybe that's just a quality" Kareem said in a duh tone. He laid on his back and pulled Sage on top of him before putting an arm behind his head and the other on her ass again "But you talked to momma? She said she had some s**t to tell you"

"Yeap, she wanted to know how this situation would work out. You know, the whole, Martin is my uncle. So she's my aunt if they get married, but my momma in law if we get married"

"Yo, that's weird. So you kinda like my cousin or sum, through marriage"

Sage laughed and covered her face "So is this like incest?"

"No dummy" he mushed her head "This nothin like it" he chuckled.

"Dude, get your hand off my ass. You keep grabbing it"

He palmed her ass with both hands as he licked his lips and she bit hers "Shut your ass up. You wasn't complaining that day in the cabana. All like oh baby, slap it again. Yea,like that "

She rolled her eyes "Yea? Well the s*x wasn't that good. Its called faking"

"Oh damn, forreal? " he slightly pushed her off "Get your ass up"

"Babe, I was kidding" she laughed "Relax, you should know I was only kidding"

"Yea, you right. I did make you squirt so" he trailed off, stroking his imaginary beard. Sage climbed back on top of him "I thought about some s**t today"

"The money from my dads account huh?" He nodded "Yeap, me too"

"Ion want yoi thinkin that's what I'm after or no s**t like that but um, what you plan on doin with it? 25 years, its gon be a lot"

"Yea, for sure. But I don't know. I thought it'd just come to me when I get It. What you think I should do with it?"

"Remember that firm you wanted on your own?"

A smile spread across her lips "Yea, I could do that. Go to school, get my law degree and open my own firm"

"But to be real with you, there's like 9 lawyers to every one criminal. "

That smile fell "Well thanks for telling me that after" she laughed, moving her hands to run over his abs.

"So what else you like doin?"

She shrugged "I've always had my mind on law. Like Jamie was always in trouble when we were younger and people would always say, Sage gonna be the one to get him off"

"So ain't s**t else you like?" Sage leaned forward and kissed him. And kissed him again and again, eventually deepening it.

"I like you" she mumbled before pulling away "I want to thank you Keemy, for being with me through all of this. I don't think I would've been sane if I went through it alone" she looked at him.

"Don't thank me baby, I wouldn't do no foul s**t like that." Was all he said before pausing, "Other than Jamie and your momma, you ain't got no family on your momma side?"

"Yea, but I've heard so many things about them over the years from my momma. I never really talked or seen them after awhile"

"Oh iight"

The room grew quiet as Sage and Kareem locked eyes and smiled a little. He grabbed her hands and entwined their fingers, pulling her closer for a kiss.

She put her forehead on his and pecked his lips "Its raining outside"

"Yea, it is" He chuckled "What's so s-" he stoppes and remembered how she said she'd want to have s*x in the rain "Now?"

She nodded "Grab the condom and meet me outside by the pool" she stood up and made her way outside with Kareem, who was smiling like a kid in the candy store, right behind her.
