Tied to a Boss

by J. L Rose

  Parking the Aston Martin behind the black Escalade that was also parked out front of the trap house, Tony T hopped out only to hear Harmony yelling at two dudes who stood facing off with Harmony and her three workers.

  “Is there a problem here?” Tony T asked, walking up on the group with his burner in his right fist, stopping beside Harmony. “Harmony, what’s good?

  “These two bitch ass niggas can’t understand that I don’t care who the fuck they work for. My price won’t lower for them, him, or whoever the fuck ...” Harmony said as she mean-mugged the two guy’s that were standing in front of her.

  “You got your heat out like your planning on using it, homie,” one of the two dudes said, directing his attention on Tony T. Slowly smiling at the guy, Tony T decided to not say anything on it and ignored his statement. Instead he asked, “Who you niggas work for?”

  “Who are you supposed to be?” the other guy asked Tony T looking him up and down. Shaking his head and smiling, Tony T called Harmony in close and asked, “Baby, what’s up? We doing business or what?

  “Fuck them niggas and the bitch nigga they work for, ain’t no business here for them,” Harmony stated with much attitude.

  “Alright niggas, y’all ran out of time so y’all need to be gone by the time I finish talking or I’ma make sure one if not both of you go back to your boss holding onto your own insides in.”

  “You mothafucka!”

  BOOM!

  “What the fuck?” one of the guys yelled after seeing his boy get shot in the stomach, now laying on the ground holding his guts in pain.

  “That’s one, you got a choice,” Tony T told the guy staring at him while maintaining a smirk on his face.

  Watching the one guy help his homeboy up and out to the Escalade, Harmony shook her after the truck pulled off. Tony T asked, “Who the fuck were they?”

  “I don’t know,” Harmony answered and then said, “They supposedly work for some nigga named Raul. They’re not even from here. They’re supposed to be from Orlando.”

  “What are they trying to get?” Tony T asked as he tucked his gun in back into his jeans.

  “Supposedly whoever this Raul nigga is, he wanted five bricks and sent me some bullshit message about the twelve grand and it wasn’t negotiable.”

  “I know the price is nineteen a piece, but I thought you let him go for 12 when they buy four or better?” Tony T said.

  “Nah, I didn’t like the vibe they gave me and I don’t like this Raul dude sending people to give me a message as if he is somebody on a whole other level.

  “Yeah, I hear you,” Tony T said, and then added, “Just keep your eyes open and let me know if you got any more problems.”

  “Aww you worried about me?” Harmony asked, smiling as she wrapped her arm around Tony’s neck.

  Gripping Harmony’s thick ass, he replied, “I know you can handle whatever but, let me know anyway.”

  “Yes, Daddy,” Harmony replied, leaning into Tony T kissing his cheek only to scream when he gave her a slap on her butt.

  “Now where’s my weed you promised me?” Tony T said grinning.

  Hearing about the murder of Captain Ben Whitehead all over the streets and even on the radio, Alinna found herself splitting her focus from business and news on the Captain. The last update was that sergeant Angela Perez would be taking over for Captain Whitehead.

  “So that’s what this is all about?” Alinna said aloud, talking to herself as she and Vanessa drove off from the dropping off Amber with Wesley to get her car from the shop.

  “What, what was about?” Vanessa asked, glancing over to Alinna.

  “That’s what Angela needed Dante for; she used him to get another promotion at the police station.”

  “So you think she lied to Dante and had him kill this Whitehead guy just to take his spot?”

  “She probably wasn’t lying completely, but I don’t think this Whitehead guy knew everything she said he knew. I think she had added more to it so Dante would go after the guy; she knows how Dante is, just as much as I know.”

  “Why do I have the feeling you are thinking something else, Alinna?”

  Quiet for a moment, Alinna replied, “I think she is after Dante.”

  “After him how?” Vanessa asked

  “She is gonna use her position to give Dante the freedom to do whatever he wants and in return he will have to turn away from me.”

  “Now you know Dante is crazy about you. You gave that boy his first son.”

  “Yeah but she gave him his first child,” Alinna replied just as her phone went off. Pulling her phone from her purse, Alinna saw that it was one of her major buyer’s calling.

  “What’s up Rick?” she answered.

  “What’s up Alinna? You too busy to holla at a nigga doing your queen-pin thing or what?”

  “I got time for you boo, talk to me.”

  “Check this out, I got a dude from outta town who’s trying to do business with you, but he’s trying to cook up some pot sew. He wanna get like 10 onions.”

  “Okay, you know this dude, Rick?”

  “Real talk. I have heard of him Alinna ... but, he’s been missing off the maps for some months now.”

  “So are you putting your word in for this guy that he will do good business?”

  “Alinna ... look.”

  “Just answer the question, yes or no?”

  “Alright, yeah,” Rick hesitated

  “Alright. You know if shit’s not right with this guy you’re sending me that I will need to have Dante clean up and then come see you.”

  “Damn, I thought we were cool. You gonna send that crazy ass dude after me?” Rick said baffled.

  “It’s business, Rick,” Alinna told him. “What’s this guy’s name?”

  “He goes by Fish Man.”

  “Fish what?” Alinna asked with sarcasm as if she hadn’t heard Rick correctly.

  “Fish Man, like with the scales and what not.”

  “Oh, okay ... Fish Man. Send me his number and I will text him tonight,” Alinna said.

  * * *

  Hearing his phone go off as he and his son laid sleeping together, Dante reached back behind him and answered, “Yeah?”

  “Hi baby, you busy?”

  “What’s up Angela?” he asked, looking down at his son after hearing D.J. moan while rolling over onto his side.

  “I am just calling like you told me to, but guess what?”

  “Tell me.”

  “They are promoting me this Friday. I won’t work on the streets anymore and it will be a desk job from now on.”

  “Where are you?”

  “Out in my car in the parking lot, why?” Angela responded

  “I thought you were inside the station talking to me.”

  “Dante come on, you mean the world to me, and you are the father of our daughter. I am really careful when it comes to anything to protect you. I love you.”

  “Yeah I hear you,” Dante replied. “What time do you get off?”

  “I’m not sure. I will call you when I find out,” Angela told him. “Are you coming to see me and Mya tonight?”

  “Just call me when you get off, Angela,” Dante told her, hanging up the phone and shaking his head.

  Finishing her business runs, Alinna rode with Vanessa to her trap house to drop off more work with her crew. Remembering Fish Man that Rick had told her about, she went through her phone to find his number. Listening to the line ringing as she called whoever this Fish Man was, Alinna nodded her head to Vanessa after she said she would be right back.

  “Who’s this?” Alinna heard a heavy country sounding voice answer.

  “I am calling for whoever Fish Man is,” Alinna replied.

  “You the chick I have been hearing about, the one that’s supposed to have the city locked down?”

  Ignoring the comment Alinna said, “Rick tells me you are looking to connect on a business level. Is that co
rrect?”

  “So it’s true then?”

  “Is what true?” she asked.

  “You having shit on lock in the city.”

  “Look, Fish Man or whatever, if you are looking to discuss history or my background wait for the autobiography. What the fuck you gonna do?”

  “Ooh feisty,” he replied. “I am sure Rick told you I am looking for ten k ...”

  “He told me,” she said abruptly interrupting his speaking. “We can discuss facts in person and not on the phone.”

  “Fine, when can we meet?” Alinna gave Fish Man a time and a location for their meeting and hung up, just as Vanessa was getting back into the car.

  Chapter 19

  Getting into it with some of Raul’s guys again and hearing about the shootout at the trap house, Harmony did as she was told and notified Tony T, and also put Alinna up on what was going on.

  “Harmony, what’s up?” Dante asked catching Harmony inside the den while watching TV, while feeding Vanessa’s son a bottle. Looking over to Dante and seeing the expression on his face, Harmony went straight into explaining what she knew. “I am not sure who this Raul guy is, but a few days ago he sent some guys over to my spot, demanding work at a price that he set for himself. When I told his boys that I wasn’t doing business with them, they started talking crazy. Tony T drove up and saw what was going on. He shot one of them in the stomach and had the other guy carry him off the front yard.”

  “So now this Raul clown is trying to get back then after he sent his boys to the trap and shot it up?” Dante asked.

  Nodding her head, Harmony asked, “What are you planning on doing, Dante?”

  “I’ll let you know when I find out who this Raul nigga is,” Dante told Harmony, turning and walking out of the den. Dante pulled out his phone and called Wesley.

  “Who’s dis?” Wesley answered in the middle of a ring.

  “Where you at? This Dante.”

  “What’s good brother?”

  “I need to take care of something for me. Where you at?”

  “Me at me spot mon.”

  “I’ma be there is a few minutes,” Dante told Wesley and then hung up. Using the Kawasaki Ninja, Dante took off from the house flying up the street past Alinna’s BMW.

  * * *

  Seeing Dante as he flew by her on his bike, Alinna almost turned her car around and followed him. She knew that she couldn’t keep up with him on that bike though so it would have been pointless. Continuing on to her house, she parked around back near the garage and grabbed her shopping bag.

  Once inside the house seeing that her girls were there, she nodded to the older women and started for the stairs, but saw that Harmony and baby Andre were in the den. “Hey, what’s up?” Harmony asked, seeing Alinna when she walked into the den. “What did you do today? You go shopping?”

  “Yeah, I got D.J. some new clothes his ass already too big for the ones I just bought him a couple weeks ago,” she said, sitting down on the couch.

  “You just missed your man, he literally just left.”

  “He say where he was going?” Alinna asked.

  “You know Dante don’t tell no one where he is ass be at. He just said he would tell me his plan after he found out who Raul is.”

  “Speaking of finding out who someone is, I want you ready for tomorrow night. I am supposed to meet with this guy that calls himself Fish Man. He’s thinking about buying ten keys of coke, but he is out of town.”

  “How did you meet him?” questioned Harmony

  “Another one of my customers who’s a large scale buyer came to me about the guy.”

  “What time tomorrow?”

  “Nine,” Alinna answered as both Amber and Vanessa walked into the room.

  Pulling up into the driveway parking her car, Angela got her phone out to call Dante.

  “Yeah Angela, what’s up?” Dante answered.

  “Dante, where are you?” she asked.

  “Handling some business.”

  “I am at home. I need you to come by here and I have to be back to work soon.”

  “What’s going on?”

  “Baby, can you please just come? I really need you Dante.”

  Quiet for a moment Dante said, “Give me fifteen minutes.”

  Hearing Dante then hang up, she smiled as she got out of the car and headed up to the front door. Opening the door to her babysitter, Jennifer walked from the backroom. “Ms. Perez, you are home early.” Jennifer greeted speaking only Spanish.

  Angela replied while heading to her room, “I will only be home for a moment. Maya’s father is on his way and will be here soon. Let him in and send him to my bedroom.”

  * * *

  Wesley contacted his information source to help him find out who Raul was. “Hello,” a woman answered.

  “Rachel, this is Wesley.”

  “Hey Wesley, what’s up?”

  “I need some information from ya.”

  “Okay, you know what I charge.”

  “Don’t ya worry none. You get paid well for the help you give girl. You get paid extra this time.”

  “Now that’s what I’m talking about. What you wanna know?”

  “I need to find out who the rude boy is. He call himself Raul. Me need to know dis fast.”

  “I will call you as soon as I find out who he is.”

  Hanging up the phone, Wesley rubbed his hands together, smiling in anticipation and envisioning what might happen to this Raul guy when they find out who he is.

  * * *

  Seeing both Jennifer and Angela’s car parked outside, Dante parked his ninja behind Jennifer’s Honda Accord. Dante climbed off the bike, took his helmet off, and started for the front door. Just as he began to knock, the door opened for him almost immediately by the smiling babysitter.

  Dante stepped inside and Jennifer told him in a heavy accent as best she could, “Angela was in the back.” Heading to the back stopping first to see his daughter in her room fast asleep. Dante kissed his little girl and then walked over to Angela’s closed bedroom door and knocked.

  “It’s open ...” Angela called from inside the bedroom, opening the bedroom door. Dante stepped in and shut the door behind him. To his right he could see Angela stepping from out of the master bathroom in nothing but a black thong and a matching bra.

  “Do you like papi?” Angela asked as she walked over to him and pressing her body against his. Dante grabbed her by her small waist and pushed her a step back from him so there bodies were no longer touching. “I need you papi.” Angela whined.”

  “Angela chill,” Dante said almost looking toward the ceiling and not at her.

  “Dante, I have faithfully waited for you. I have given you a beautiful daughter and I refuse every other guy that tries to talk to me because I belong to you.” Angela brought herself closer to him and unzipped his jeans. “I know how you feel about Alinna, but whether you’re willing to admit it or not, I am just as much your woman as she is. Please don’t leave me by myself when you know I love you.”

  Getting Dante’s jeans open and pulling them down, she reached her hand into his boxer’s, then gripped Dante’s manhood that was semi hard for her already. Holding his eye’s with hers, she lowered herself to a squatting position in front of him. Angela held up his dick and slowly licked from the base, all the way up to his fathead, as she came back down covering his dick with her mouth as she sucked it down. She smiled hearing her baby daddy let out a moan for her.

  * * *

  Knowing he was dead wrong but caught up in the moment as he slammed in and out of Angela, he switched her into different positions. Watching her expression’s each time she came all over his dick, feeling the pressure of her climax each time, Dante ignored his own nut, slowing down or stopping each time if felt like he was going to explode. Getting Angela to beg him with tears running down her face as she looked back at him over her shoulder as he slammed deep up into her from the back, he watched her 41-inch ass
jump and shake each time that he made contact. Dante gave into her cry, switching her onto her back and positioning himself between her legs as she wrapped her legs around his waist still crying out to him to cum for her.

  Feeling on edge of exploding, Dante went to pull out and cum on her stomach, when she pulled him deeper inside of her with both legs crying out she was cumming again, just as he exploded, shooting his load deep inside of her.

  Breathing hard as he laid on top of Angela while she held him tight, Dante caught his breath and pushed up off of her. Staring down at her and seeing how unbelievably cute she looked Dante said, “You better be on birth control girl.”

  “I’m not, so what?” she responded, seeing Dante’s expression change she quickly added. “I am playing with you papi, I am. I don’t want any more of your babies,” she laughed as he looked at her crazy shaking his head like yeah right.

  Dante laid beside her on the bed only to have Angela a turn towards him laying her head in his arms.

  “Dante, I love you,” Angela said to him

  “Yeah I know Angela,” was his reply

  “You do?” Angela asked him smiling and sitting up to fully stare into his eyes.

  “With how tight you just felt, I know you ain’t been messing around, but you know I am leaving.”

  “Baby, I already know,” Angela told Dante cutting him off. “I won’t ask you to leave Alinna because I know you never will, but I will ask you to make time for us. We are your family too and your daughter and I both love you. Give us that much ...”

  Sighing and shaking his head Dante ran his hand over her face and then said, “Alright Angela. I will give you that much.” She leaned into him and kissed him.

  Chapter 20

  Riding inside the passenger seat of Dre’s Land Rover while Vanessa drove and Amber and Harmony sat in the backseat talking, Alinna was barely aware of what any of them were talking about. All she could think of was Dante.

  “Alinna, are you alright girl?” Vanessa asked, noticing her staring off into the distance.
