“He’s getting too big for that,” Bobby said.
“And too heavy,” R.J. said and put him down.
“His grandmother’s cooking,” Black said and hugged R.J. “How are you?”
“I’m fine, Uncle Mike.”
“Heard good things about you and your crew,” Black said and hugged him again. “Proud of you.”
“Enough of that shit,” Bobby said to move things along. “I know you wanna know why we got you down here.”
“I am, but I hope I know,” R.J. said.
“The last time we were here, when we closed the place, me and your father made a promise that we would give this place to our sons,” Black said.
“And now that at least one of you is old enough to run it, we want you to have The Late Night,” Bobby said.
“Wow,” R.J. said, and everyone could hear the genuine excitement in his voice. He dropped to one knee and looked at Easy. “Look around, Little Prince, this is ours now and this is just the beginning. Pretty soon, the world is going to be ours just like I promised.”
Chapter Thirty-nine
Now that Marvin had moved in with the other Kings; that left the couple more freedom in the house to play.
“Nick, we didn’t close the drapes,” April said.
“And?”
“And? I don’t want anyone to see us.”
“If they are looking that hard, let them. Plus, I doubt anyone can see us from here.”
He kissed any other protests from her lips as he opened up the shirtdress she was wearing when she came in from the grocery store. Each button was undone, leaving her in her matching pink bra and thong.
“You’re adorable you know that, right?”
Again, before she could respond, he was kissing her again. She felt the clasp to her bra come undone and then his fingers were pulling down her thong as they began moving away from the window. April’s hands were in his shortly cut hair and then their bodies were easing down on the couch with her straddling his lap. She didn’t remember him undoing the drawstring lounge pants that he was wearing as she started to put the food away in the fridge. But they were gone, she realized as he started to impale her on his hot length.
She rode him, her hands on his thighs, helping her to balance and lift up and down on him as he used his hands to pull her back and forth like a bow. They panted each other’s names, whispered I love you to each other, and kissed the smiles off each other’s face. And once she swiveled her hips just the way he liked it; he came right along with her.
“Happy birthday, baby,” she said to him.
“Yes, it definitely is.”
After Nick and April made love again in the shower, they stayed away from each other long enough to get dressed to make it to Cuisine, where Nick thought they had dinner reservations. But April knew that other plans had been made.
When they arrived at Cuisine, they walked in with her arm looped in his and grinned wide when all their friends yelled, “Happy Birthday!” And began clapping.
Nick was surprised and looked at April shocked before hugging her tight. “Thank you, baby,” Nick said, and kissed April tenderly to applause from the invited guests.
“Don’t thank me, this was Monika’s idea. She made all the arrangements,” April said as Monika came to them smiling.
She gave Nick a hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you, Monika,” he said.
“You’re welcome. I just wanted you to have a special birthday, Nick.”
“Happy birthday, old man,” Black said, and hugged him.
“Ain’t you older than me, old man?”
