I followed behind him.
“Why you not in the mood for my shit, huh? You were so in love with that bitch telling her all my business. You told her you didn’t love me, and you want to be with her, and how I gained weight. So, if I’m not what you want, then go be with her and y’all baby.” I was now in his face talking big shit.
He looked at me like how I knew all of this.
“Yeah, nigga I read all your messages between her and all the other women you’ve been talking to. Let me go out and do the same shit. Let me go out and fuck different men and pillow talk with them.” He slapped me so hard that I fell back on the bed.
I tried to sit up, but he had my arms pinned down and he had his knee between my legs. His nose was flaring up, I looked him dead in his eyes.
“Try and fuck around on me Joy. Just try it. I will fuck you up so good the police wouldn’t be able to identify you,” he said with his jaw tight and sweat on his forehead.
“Get the fuck off me!” I yelled throwing my head left to right.
He released me and walked in the bathroom. He slammed the door and ran the shower water.
“I hate you!!” I yelled by the door.
He ignored me. I went downstairs and sat at the bar. I poured me a glass of Gin and drank it straight. I poured another glass and took that to the head. Anthony came downstairs dressed in his suit, he grabbed his keys off the key holder and left for work. I rolled my eyes, walking out to the garage. I got my clothes out and took them back upstairs. After a few times up and down the stairs I was beat. I sat on the floor breathing heavily. I folded my clothes and placed them back in the dresser, hung up my dresses and suits that I wear for work. I grabbed my purse and remembered that I forgot to put the ten thousand back in Anthony’s safe. I walked over to the side of the bed and put in the code. I opened it and put the money back in. I walked to the bathroom and ran a much-needed bubble bath. I removed my clothes and slid in the tub. I closed my eyes and relaxed between the weed and Gin flowing through my body; I felt good. My phone rang, but I didn’t want to answer it, so I let it ring. I washed my body and rinsed off.
I dried off and grabbed a pair of pajamas out the dresser, I looked through my purse for my phone when I found it, I saw that Kevin called me. I pressed his name and waited for the phone to ring. He picked up on the first ring and I smile when I heard his voice.
“Hey, Joy. Why didn’t you come in to work today?” he asked.
“I’m not feeling well,” I lied. I didn’t need him and his brother getting into at work.
“Are you sure my brother isn’t keeping you away from me?” he asked.
“Naw, it ain’t nothing like that. I will be back to work after my birthday weekend,” I answered him.
“Speaking of your birthday, what are you doing?” Kevin asked.
“I want to rent out 247 and have a good time,” I said very happy.
“Oh, word, that sounds like a good time. Well, let me know if you need any help, I know a bomb ass DJ,” he said sounding just as happy as me.
“That’s what’s up, let me know the price and I’ll give you the money.”
“Naw ma, we good. Just consider it one of your gifts.”
“Really, you would do that for me.” I was smiling from ear to ear.
“Yeah, I got you. I can bring a few strippers too,” he laughed in the phone.
“Boy don’t bring no strippers,” I laughed as well.
“Well, let me go, I got some work to tend to,” Kevin said.
“Yeah, me to. I’ll be working from home today.”
“Alright, talk to you later.” He hung up the phone and so did I.
I grabbed my MacBook from my bag and powered it up, but it was dead. I grabbed my charger and plugged it in the wall. While it charged, I decided on making me something to eat. I went down to the kitchen and made a chicken salad. While I was down there I took some fish out for dinner. I grabbed a water and my salad and walked back upstairs. My laptop was charged to twenty five percent. I logged into my work account and got to work on answering emails and setting up meetings with different clients. I sent out emails to the employees letting them know that I will be back to work Monday.
I finished my salad and took the plate back downstairs. “These stairs are killing me,” I said to myself sitting on the bed I looked over and saw the business card that I got from Melvin. I held the card in my hand, balled it up, and threw it against the wall. “I have too much going on to lead this man on,” I said to myself. I looked at the paper as it sat there. Something told me to pick it up and call that man. I took a deep breath and walked to get the card. I unfolded it and dialed his number, we can just be friends, there’s nothing wrong with that, right? The phone rang, and it went to voicemail. I hung up and sat the phone down, then my phone started ringing. It was Melvin, fuck, I should have blocked my number. I answered the phone.
“Hello...” I said in my sexy voice.
“Hey, did someone call Melvin?” he asked.
“Yeah, this is Joy, we meet on the plane,” I said hoping he wouldn’t remember me.
“Oh, hey beautiful. How are you doing? I was wondering when you were going to call me,” he said sounding excited.
“Yeah, I was meaning to, but I got caught up with work stuff,” I lied.
“Oh, that’s nice. Let’s meet for lunch. There is this new sub place by my gym. I’ve been wanting to check out,” he said.
“Well I just got done eating a salad, do they have smoothies?” I asked trying to sound all healthy and shit.
“Yeah, I seen a lot of people come to the gym with smoothies. They say they’re the best.”
“Well text me the address and I’ll meet you,” I said getting off the bed.
“Okay, cool, I’ll see you soon.” We ended the call.
I went to my dresser and decide on a pair of ripped high waist jeans, an off the shoulder t-shirt with a lip print on it, and a pair of sandals. I went to the bathroom and plugged in my flat iron. I put a side part in my hair, then flat ironed and styled my hair. Once I was satisfied with the woman looking back at me, I got dressed put on a pair of earrings, a neckless and a set of bangles. The text came through with the address and I put it in my GPS; it was an hour away.
I grabbed my purse, keys, phone and was out the door. I hopped in my car, opened the garage and backed out the driveway. I closed the garage with the opener and headed to the destination as the GPS was giving me directions. I played ‘Legacy’ by Faith Evans and got on the highway and headed to the sub joint. I drove around a few times to find parking then waited for this older lady to back out. I pulled into the spot when she pulled out. I over looked myself once more and exited the car. I walked in the place and it was nice and cool inside. It smelt good and the smoothies looked good as well. I scanned the room to see if I could spot Melvin, but I didn’t see him. I pulled out my cell to call him; he picked up the phone and told me he was walking in now. I sat down and waited for him to come in. He walked in with the biggest smile on his face. I got out my chair and smiled back at him.
“Hello, beautiful,” Melvin spoke reaching in for a hug.
I hugged him back; he smelt so good. His tall frame made me feel like I was the perfect size for him.
“Well let’s sit,” Melvin spoke waiting for me to sit down before he sat down.
“So, Joy, tell me a little about yourself,” Melvin said while waiving down a waiter.
“Well, I work full time, I love to read, music, shopping, movies and I love singing,” I said smiling. “What about you?”
“That’s great, I love movies, music, working out, traveling and having a good time,” he said looking at me.
“What can I get you two?” the waitress asked smiling.
“I’ll take a mango lemonade smoothie and a turkey sub with no onions,” I said waiting for Melvin to order.
“I’ll take a Kale smoothie and a chicken sub with no olives please.” He ordered and thanked the waitress.
&
nbsp; “So, are you in a relationship?” he asked.
“It’s complicated,” I answered.
He looked at me with his face twisted. I was hoping he wouldn’t ask me about the relationship.
“A pretty woman like yourself shouldn’t be in complicated relationship. You should have a smile painted on that face every day,” he spoke while grabbing my hands and placing them into his.
I felt like getting up and walking away, knowing I shouldn’t be here with this man, but our food came, and I didn’t want to be rude. When Melvin released my hands, I tried not to make eye contact with him. It was hard to do, he was so damn sexy. I drank my smoothie and ate half of my sandwich.
“Would you like to see my gym? It’s only the next street over,” Melvin asked as he wiped his mouth with the napkin.
“Sure, I have a little time before I have to get home,” I said looking down at the time on my phone.
“Where did you park?” he asked getting up from the table.
“On the side of building,” I answered wrapping up my sandwich and sipping the last of my smoothie that I really enjoyed.
“Okay, I’ll pull my car around and you can follow me,” he said opening the door for me.
“Alright,” I said walking to my car.
I got in my car and started it. I placed my head on the steering wheel. “Fuck, I really shouldn’t do this,” my inner voice said. Fuck it, what do I have to lose, it’s not like I’m going to sleep with this man. The honking of Melvin’s car took me out of my thoughts. I lifted my head and smiled. Rolling down my window I told him I was ready. He took off and I did the same. When we pulled up to the two-story gym, it was nice and bright. The sign read Come Get Fitness. Melvin got out the car and I did the same. He opened the door and let me in first, I walked in and the building was fairly, new. There was equipment that was still in boxes.
“So, this first level will be the basic equipment, and upstairs is an outdoor pool,” Melvin spoke giving me a brief tour.
“This is nice. I may have to come and get a membership and get my body ready for the summer,” I said letting out a small chuckle.
“You don’t even have to get a membership. You can come for free, baby girl,” Melvin said while holding me by the hips.
Something came over me, I turned around and kissed him. My inner voice spoke, “Bitch is you crazy? You need to leave,” but my body was like, naw girl do you. Melvin kissed me back as his hands roamed my backside. I glided my hand under his shirt and felt his rock-hard abs. Instantly I got wet. Melvin picked me up I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me to a back office. He sat me on the brown table and removed my blouse and bra. I removed his shirt and admired is chest covered in tattoos, my mouth watered looking at him. Damn, his body had been kissed by the sun. He licked me from my ear lobe down to my hard nipples, I let out a soft moan, I was satisfied with this pleasure. He caressed my curves with his hands. He unbuttoned my pants. I stood up off the desk to take my pants off. When I bent over to take my feet out my pants, his rock-hard dick was looking at me. Damn, I wonder if he tastes as good as he looks. I pulled down his pants and that dick jumped out like a jester. His dick had to be nine inches tops. The head was thick and had a cute mole on the tip.
I took as much of his dick in my mouth. Melvin was pushing my head further down. It caused me to gag a little, but I didn’t care. I was about to give him some fire as head. Melvin was moaning hard, he stopped me and helped me to my feet. I got up standing there in my birthday suit. Melvin went to the table and pulled out a condom. He slid it on and I watched as his chocolate dick got covered in gold rubber.
“Bend over,” he demanded.
I did as I was told, and he worked his dick inside of me. When I adjusted to his size, he went to town digging in my pussy something special. My pussy was getting so wet. He gripped my ass tight and picked up his pace. He pulled out and I turned around and asked was everything’s okay. He didn’t answer me, he picked me up against the wall and bounced me up and down on his dick. My eyes rolled in the back of my head as he sucked on my neck and played with my nipples. This man was taking my pussy to another world. My legs shook as I was having an orgasm.
“Fuck Melvin, you are making me cum,” I moaned in his ear.
“That’s what I want to do baby, let me make you feel good.” He dug his dick deeper in me.
After a few more pumps, I was now sweating, my hair was all over my head, and my body was feeling numb.
“I’m about to bust baby, oh shit, fuck!” Melvin yelled.
He busted his nut and so did I. With his dick still inside, me he laid me across the table and sucked on my nipples. I moaned and looked down at him as he was enjoying my girls. Once he was done, he slid out of me and helped me sit up. He went to the back and brought back a warm towel for me and himself. I wiped up the best way I could. knowing when I get home I’m hitting the shower. He handed me my clothes and got dressed, I did the same. Once we were fully dressed, we walked outside, and Melvin followed me to my car.
“When will I see you again? I know your relationship is complicated, but you’re a beautiful girl, and I want you to be treated like a lady, at all times,” Melvin spoke standing next to me.
“Melvin, I don’t know if I’m ready to jump out of one relationship and be in another so fast,” I answered him.
“Well, give it some time. Let’s date and hang out from time to time. We can leave New York if don’t want to be seen with me out in the streets. I have a home in Philly we can call our getaway spot,” he said moving hair from my face.
“I’ll let you know,” I kissed him, and he smacked my ass.
I laughed, unlocked my car door and he opened it for me. I got in and started my car. I rolled down the windows and he reached his head in and kissed me.
“I hope to see you soon,” Melvin said.
“You will,” I winked at him.
He removed his head and walked back on the curb. I waved bye to him and pulled away from the curb, getting on the highway and heading home to wash up and cook dinner. I exited off the highway, turned down my street and I almost died when I see Anthony’s car in the driveway. What the fuck is he doing home so early. I looked in my mirror and tried to fix my hair. I pulled up next to him, killed the engine and walked slowly to the front door. My hands shook as I placed the key in the keyhole. When I walked in the house was dead silent. I swallowed the lump in my throat.
Chapter 10
I closed the door and placed my keys on the key hook. My hands were sweating and my heart was pumping so fast that I could hear it. I walked in the kitchen and Anthony punched me right in my nose, I grabbed my nose, it was bleeding. Next, I felt a punch to the back of my head. I tried to catch myself, but I fell to the floor. My nose was leaking. Oh, my goodness not this again.
“Anthony, please stop, please!” I begged.
But when I turned on my back to look at him, it was like looking at the devil himself. He was punching me, I tried my hardest to block my face. My body was already sore from the sex I just had.
“So, you been out all-day fucking, huh?” he asked while slapping me. “Yeah, you think I wouldn’t find out!” he yelled pulling out Melvin’s business card from his pocket.
Fuck, how could I be so stupid, why didn’t I trash the card?
“We didn’t do anything. I just went to go check out the new gym, that’s all I did,” I said in between my cry’s.
“You damn liar. Why your hair so fucked up? Let me guess, you worked out too?” he asked placing his hands-on hips. “Get your lying ass up and pull down your pants and panties.” I looked at him like he was crazy. “Get the fuck up and don’t make me say that shit again!” he yelled.
I slowly got up and took my clothes off. As soon as I got my panties down, Anthony order me to go lay on the floor with my legs spread apart. I was so nervous, I hoped I cleaned good enough. Anthony walked over to where I was laying and sat between my legs.
“I’m going to ask
you one time and one time only. Did you fuck this nigga?” he asked in a deep voice.
“No, all I did was go check out the gym that’s all I did.”
I looked at him with so much fear in my eyes. I said a prayer to myself, “Father God, if this is my last day on earth, please forgive me for all the wrong I’ve done and tell my mama that I love her.”
Anthony shoved his fingers inside of me and I flinched. He pulled out his fingers and smelled them.
“So, smelling like a condom is what you call working out?” he asked now standing over me, as a tear fell from my eye.
“I didn’t do anything,” I spoke in a low tone.
“Get your shit and get the fuck out of my house now!”
I got up fast and grabbed my clothes, picking up my purse and phone, walking by the door, I grabbed my keys and darted off to my car. My hands were shaking uncontrollably as I tried to unlock the car door. Once I got the car to unlock, I pulled open the door and dropped the keys twice before I could start the car up. I threw the car in drive and drove with no destination. My tears clouded my eyes, so I pulled over and let all my tears come out. I cried until I was all cried out. My phone started ringing. I fished for it in my purse and Kevin’s name was on the screen.
“Hello,” I answered.
“Hey, is everything okay?” he asked.
“No, your brother beat me again. This time he put me out. Kevin, I don’t know what to do,” I cried into the phone.
“Come to my house now,” he said and hung up the phone.
I got myself together and took the ride to Kevin’s house. When I pulled up to his driveway he was standing outside smoking a blunt. I killed the ignition and got out the car. When I walked up to Kevin he pulled me in for a hug. I cried all over again while he rocked me back and forth.
“It’s all good baby, you know you’re safe here,” he said while exhaling the smoke and passing me the blunt.
I took a much-needed long pull from the blunt and kissed him.
“Thank you,” I said passing him back the blunt.
“No need to thank me baby. Go ahead and finish that off, you know I got more weed in the house.”
