Toy's Story (7 page)

"Yeah,
actually
I'm
working
on
another
proposal
as
we
speak.
 
Give
me
a
little
time
and
I'll
present
it
to
you."
He
grinned
as
he
soaked
in
my
sensuality
like
a
dry
sea
sponge.

"I
can't
wait
to
see
what
you
come
up
with."
 
I
responded
as
I
serenely
continued
to
float
off
into
paradise
in
those
piercing
brown
eyes.

The
flirtation
and
customary
first
date
interview
continued
as
we
enjoyed
good
conversation
and
a
surprisingly
good
steak
and
egg
breakfast.
 
Logic
was
an
amazingly
rare
find.
Good
looking,
tall,
charismatic
and
oh
so
damn
mouth
wateringly
sexy,
he
was
quickly
beginning
to
resemble
the
man
of
my
dreams.
 
As
if
that
wasn't
enough
I
soon
noticed
a
manly
gentleness
that
comes
only
when
a
man
has
been
taught
to
respect
and
value
the
worth
of
a
woman.
He
was
attentive,
decisive,
protective
and
endearing-
qualities
that
I
had
never
encountered
in
one
man.
 
And
that
was
all
I
needed
to
see
to
seal
the
deal
and
offer
him
the
key
to
my
love.

"So
what
about
you,
Zatoya..."

"Call
me
Toy.
 
No
one
calls
me
Zatoya,
but
my
mom."

"Oh,
I
plan to
later."
He
grinned.
"I
was
actually
trying
to
get
you
to
reveal
your
last
name."

"Oh,
it's
Waters.
I'm
sorry.
I
forgot
I
never
even
told
you
my
last
name."

"It's
okay
I
totally
understand.
So,
Zatoya
Waters
is
there
a
Mr.
Waters
waiting
in
bed
at
home?"

"Mr.
Waters
is
my
dad
and
he
unfortunately
is
in
Miami.
 
If
not
I
would
be
home
by
now."
I
laughed.

"I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is
if
you
have
a
man
in
your
life?"
Logic
asked
unsure
if
he
wanted
to
hear
the
answer.

Sensing
that
he
was
serious
and
needed
an
honest
response
I
stopped
kidding
around.
"No,
I
thought
we
cleared
that
up
earlier.
 
I
had
two
friends
who
offered
me
special
benefits,
but
after
tonight
I
decided
that
I
don't
need
friends
like
those.
So
no
Logic,
nobody
is
waiting
in
my
bed
or
anywhere
else
for
me
to
come
home."

"I
could
be
that
person
if
you'd
let
me."

"What
person
is
that?
The person that waits in my bed for me to come home?
"
 
I
asked
a
little
confused.

"
No, t
he
person
that
worries
for
you
so
that
you
don't
have
to."
His
smoldering
voice
responded.

"I'm
not
worried.
 
I
can
take
care
of
myself.
 
I'm
a
big
girl.
Besides,
I've
gotten
use
to
it."

"I
can
tell
you
have,
but
it's
Christmas,
so
tonight
let
me
be
the
man
in
your
life.
 
I'll
make
sure
you
get
home
safe.
 
And
I'll
make
sure
you
have
a
wonderful
Christmas
with
presents,
a
tree
and
all
the
trimmings.
 
Let
me
do
that
for
you.
Please?"

"So
what
do
I
have
to
do
for
you?"

"Nothing
really.
 
Well
at
least
nothing
that
you're
not
already
contemplating
doing."
 
He
smil
ed
as
his
phone
went
off.
 
"Excuse
me
again
for
one
second.
 
I
have
to
take
this."

“
Sure.
”
I
said
as
I
watched
Logic
get
up
from
the
table
and
head
towards
the
entrance
of
the
restaurant.
 
Undoubtedly
one
of
the
sexiest
men
that
I
had
ever
encountered,
I
decided
that
he
could
be
my
man
tonight
and
every
other
night.
Fuck
Jamar
and
double
fuck
Tyson.
At
least
Jamar
had
the
common
decency
to
return
my
call.
That
fuck
face
Tyson
didn
’
t
even
bother
to
acknowledge
that
I
existed.
Inconsiderate
ass
wipe!
Just wait until I see his ass.

“
I
’
m
sorry
about
that.
I
’
m
usually
not
this
rude.
”
Logic
apologized
when
he
returned.
 

"Don
’
t
worry
about
it.
Is
everything
okay?"

"Yeah,
it
is
now."

"So
what's
your
final
offer
Mr.
Hart?
 
You
can't
sit
in
here
with
me
all
night
while
I
wait
for
Santa,
the
Easter
Bunny
or
the
Tooth
Fairy
to
give
me
a
ride
home."

"Okay
Ms.
Waters,
this
is
my
absolute
final
offer.
 
Right
outside
that
door
is
a
limo
waiting
to
take
you
anywhere
you
want
to
go.
 
It's
late
and
I'm
too
tired
to
drive
any
further,
so
I'm
going
with
you."

"What?"
I
asked
as
I
looked
out
the
window
behind
me
to
see
a
white,
super
stretch
Cadillac
Escalade
limo
with
reindeer
antlers
and
a
red
Rudolph
nose
on
the
grill.
"But
what
about
your
car?"
