Pastor Duke

Part Two

Winston Duke x Black PlusSized Reader

Another #supersizedfic short. Continuation of this short, though no one asked for it. But I kind of like this AU. Enjoy!

A pair of sleek black heels rested by the doorway of the kitchen. Contrasting against the seamless white tile of the floor. Hushed bubbling and boiling came from the stove as food cooked atop it, leaving no stove eye unattended. A ham cooked in the oven, just about done as time ticked closer to five o'clock.

You moved about the spacious kitchen, humming a song that was stuck in your head as you did so. Some R&B song that had played on the radio as you drove home from church. The dress you wore swayed with your movement, covered by the polka dotted apron you wore. It's deep color was a contrast from the dress you'd worn earlier, and you hoped that Winston would like it.

Winston.

You smiled to yourself, putting a little bounce in your step. Of course, the man was undeniably handsome. Tall, thick, and attractive. Winston was a year older than you, according to his aunt Melanie. He'd graduated college with two master's and does a bit of charity work when he isn't in the pulpit.

You'd helped at an event that he'd hosted once before. A cookout for the youth of the church. He'd asked you personally for your help in that, spending as much time as he could with you during the day. You'd caught his quick glances at you, as well as holding back a smile when you'd noticed his longing ones.

You chuckled at the memory of him that day. The man had the perfect stature of intimidation yet the moment he was around you it shed. I'd taken him most of the day to get the courage to ask you to lunch, which you sadly couldn't agree to because of something that'd came up.

You considered this a rain check.

The doorbell sounded through the house, in two quick dings before the visitor rapped a beat against the door. Shawn. Every since his teens, that was his signal to let you know that it was him at that was knocking.

Wiping your hands on a clean towel, you turned down the stove eyes before leaving the kitchen. Your house slippers were silent as you padded into the front hallway, undoing the locks before you pulled the door open.

Shawn stood before you, beaming that charming smile. "Hey mama." He stepped forward, hugging you tight and pecking a kiss to your forehead. You smiled, returning the greeting. Before your eyes landed on her, the infamous Monae that'd caught the heart of your baby boy.

You'd noticed her almond shaped eyes first beneath those thick, arched eyebrows. Her round nose housed a touch of highlight on its tip, above the touch that tainted her cupid's bow. She gave a nervous smile that spread her full lips, both her hands holding her purse in front of her and against her thighs.

Shawn cleared his throat, stepping back to stand by her side. He put a comforting hand to the small of her back, giving her side a small squeeze of assurance. "Mama, this is Monae. My girlfriend." Monae kept her eyes on you, trying to read your face as she mumbled a soft 'nice to meet you'.

Her hand was held out towards you and you glanced to it. Letting her sweat a bit before you broke into a full smile. "I'm a hugger, honey." You gave her a warming hug, feeling her relax. "It's so nice to finally meet you, Monae. I would say I've heard about you, but Shawn likes keeping secrets."

She nudged him with a playful eye roll. "I told him to tell you about us sooner, but it isn't easy persuading him." Shawn laughed, mumbling a 'I had to prepare myself'. "But I have definitely heard about you. All good things and I've been excited about finally getting to meet you. And thank you raising such an amazing son."

You move aside to let them in, smiling as you allowed them past. "Do you need any help setting up? I wouldn't mind." Monae asked as she looked to you, allowing Shawn to take her coat and purse to hang up. You liked her already. Accepting her offer, you waved Shawn away to watch television before leading her to the kitchen.

Handing her an apron, you got her a few serving bowls and directed her to put all the sides in a bowl of their own. She nodded, starting off with the greens. As you slipped the ham out the oven, you began asking her about herself. Her family, her education, her goals, if Shawn is treating her right. Her answers were clear and impressive, reminding you a lot of yourself when you were her age. Determined & organized.

"Mama, your boyfriend is here!"

You rolled your eyes at your son's outburst, hearing Monae giggle from the other side of the table. "Here I come!!" Making sure everything was in place, you switched into your heels. Tossing the slippers into the hall closet as you passed it. The doorbell rang as you made it to the door, slowing you down.

Taking a deep breath, you smoothed your hands over your dress. The bell rang again and you smiled, opening the door to reveal him in all his glory. His usual choice of a suit was gone and replaced by black dress pants and a burgundy sweater. He wore loafer styled shoes to match his pants, and that socks that peeked matched his shirt.

He held a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine. Red roses and red wine. "Hello, Winston." You grinned, stepping aside to let him in. He took the gesture with a smile as he greeted you back, humming as he mumbled that it smelt amazing. You thanked him, closing the door behind you.

His gaze found you again, trailing over your body before meeting your gaze. "These are for you.." He held out the roses, licking his lips nervously. "..and I brought wine. Though I wasn't sure if you drank or not.. Not that you seem like the drinking type. It just seemed like something to bring to a dinner." You giggled at his rambling, taking the wine from him as well.

"Thank you, Mr. Duke. I do drink a bit of wine, every once in a while." You smiled, seeing him relax. Holding the flowers to your nose, you inhaled gently. "These are beautiful, Winston.." Looking up at him with your nose still in the flowers, you smiled a bit bigger.

He found himself smiling as well. Hands tucked into his pockets as he admired you. "Almost as beautiful as you.." He hadn't realized he'd said it, but you heard it. Your eyes lit up and you smirked at him. Opening your mouth to speak before someone cleared there throat.

"Pastor Duke, I'm glad to see you made it. I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Monae." They disappeared towards the dining room. Shawn throwing an amused glance over his shoulder to you. You chuckled, shaking your head as they both rounded your corner. That boy was something serious.

Dinner seemed to go by quicker than expected. Everyone becoming a part of whatever conversation went on. You and Winston threw glances at each other every so often, more so him than you. He tried playing it off though, doing it as he drank his water or using the moments you spoke as a reason to look at you.

You'd watched him closely as well, picking up little habits of his. Like the bounce of his shoulders when he laughed or the change of his voice when he spoke about something passionate. Shawn seemed to study him as well, as if he was discreetly checking for any red flags. Though the smile he wore as he conversed with Winston was one of liking.

When time seemed to catch Shawn's attention, him and Monae left with intentions of getting rest for work the next day. You gave them both hugs and a motherly be careful before sending them on their way.

Now came cleanup, which Winston insisted on helping with..

He'd rolled up his sleeves, helping to carry the dishes from the dining room and to the kitchen. Arms bulking a bit as he did so. You smiled as he washed dishes for you. His big body in your apron to prevent his outfit from being ruined.

Conversation flowed naturally.

Both of you throwing out small things about yourself, getting to know each other better. At one point, he'd insisted that you relax and let him finish putting up the food so he could wash out the containers. Since you'd done all the work to prepare the dinner.

He throwing his usual glances at you, smiling as he spoke. Telling little jokes that you'd giggle at. They came naturally because he was actually funny. You hated to say it, but you'd never seen yourself as being a first lady. It seemed like it came with a boring relationship and constant church affairs. But the more time you'd spent around Winston, the more that mindset faded.

The topic of marriage came about, and you shared that you'd never been married. Shawn's father was a old friend of yours, and you both decided to do the co-parenting thing. Now, he was happily married and you were still searching for your candidates. But you definitely hoped to find your soulmate one day, whether you married of not.

"Have you ever been married, Mr. Duke?" You sipped your glass of wine, sitting on the counter. The slippers you tossed in the hallway closet earlier were back on your feet. Those heels resting in the closet in their place.

"No ma'am." He shook his head, glancing to you before focusing back on the dish in his hand. "I've never just had that perfect chemistry with anyone. That feeling of this woman could be the one.. Until recently.." He licked his lips, glancing to you with a small smirk.

You grinned, sipping from your glass to hide it. Crossing your ankles as you tilted your head, batting your lashes twice. "Ooo, a love interest? Would you care to share who that special someone is, Mr. Duke?" Sitting up straighter, you smiled. He chuckled, wiping his hands dry on a clean towel.

He walked to where you were, leaning against the counter opposite of you. A hand adjusted his glasses as he looked to you, smiling. "Actually, you've caught my eye. And all night, I've been trying to find a way to ask you if.." He cleared his throat, standing tall as he found your gaze. "Would you allow me to take you out for a date? My treat, of course, and any day you'd see fit."
