“Grab ya toes and never let them go.”
Red was so excited that she could barely contain herself and catch her breath. She wanted to grab the back of his head much like he did her and make his face one with her pussy. She had never been able to sit back and enjoy some head without reservations. It was going to be a long awaited pleasure that she would definitely remember for years to come. Her first. She closed her eyes waiting for Messiah to mount his lips upon hers. A few minutes went by stroking her anticipation as she patiently waited for his move.
“Eh, what’s wrong babe?” Red asked opening one eye to peek at what he was doing.
“Nothing. I’m good.” Messiah panicked as he stroked his soft limp dick struggling to get it back at attention.
“Oh. Well, you know what baby its okay. I mean we can always do it some other time.” Red sounded disappointed once again as she sat up looking for her clothes.
“Naw man. The first time we do it, it can’t go down like this.” Messiah shook his head as he plopped down on the sofa. “That’s that shit she was talking about.”
“Who?”
“Oh, uh, nobody.” He placed his hand on her back to rubbing lightly. “I’m sorry baby.”
“Hey you. It’s okay, really.” She assured him pausing from dressing giving him a peck to his lips. “Sex isn’t everything. Sometimes it’s just the connection you have with that person. I connect with you on so many levels that this one thing doesn’t affect me.” Red smiled.
Even though the words flowed from her mouth she was unsure if she actually believed them herself. She was fully dressed but Messiah sat there asshole naked on the sofa still wondering what the hell happened to the performance of his Johnson. He tried to remember if it had ever gotten like that with Braze or Zadie but his memory was a little hazy from the X.
“So, can I run the business or not?”
“Red!” Messiah snapped as he rose to look for his clothes.
“Don’t do that Messiah. I wouldn’t fuck you. You need to learn to trust somebody. Why not start with me?”
“Because my fucking brother has been trying to get this business for the longest and I tell him no all the time—“
“So we can do it together!”
“You obviously don’t know Danger.” Messiah buckled his pants. “He’ll run this fucking place into the ground.”
“Messiah, calm down. Your problem is that you don’t trust people. If you are going to let it go you might as well give it to somebody who is going to do something with it.”
“Woman, let’s go. We’ll discuss this in the morning.”
“There ain’t nothing to talk about. Its either yes or no.”
“We’ll see.” Messiah said as he flicked the light switch.
Chapter 14
“I DON’T LOVE YOU!”— Red
“Man where the fuck you been, Meech. I’ve been blowing ya phone up crazy.” Skid said walking around to the driver’s side of the car. “Hey, Red.”
“Wassup.” Red replied as she leaned overplanting a sweet kiss on Messiah’s cheek then exited the car swaying her hips towards the building.
“What’s da deal?” Messiah said breaking Skid’s trance from Red’s booty.
“Man, why you ain’t call me and tell me that shit man? You know you ain’t call me cause ain’t no missed call on my phone and shit.”
“Skid what are you talking about?”
“Braze. You had me go pick that damn girl up from Christ and you didn’t even bother to call me and tell me she was getting out or go pick her up or nothin’. I’m startin’ to question the way you doin’ business, man. Shit is unprofessional dude. Straight up.”
“Wait a minute. Hol’ up. Braze is out the hospital? She just had the baby today.”
“That’s what the fuck I said.”
“This fucking girl done left the damn hospital. Where you take her to man?”
“That’s the thing dude.” Skid looked around at the darkness behind the complex noticing movement but unable to put his finger on exactly what it was. “I took her to your crib, man.”
“YOU WHAT?”
“Man I tried to call you a million times. She said that you said take her there. I didn’t know what the fuck was up man and you ain’t answer yo phone.” Skid explained.
Messiah put his head down on the steering wheel knowing that he was about to drive into the eye of the storm. His heart thumped fast as ever wondering what kind of turmoil awaited him back at his domain. Apart of him wanted to slap the shit out of Skid just for pulling some dumb shit like that but he knew he was easily swayed by the temptation of the flesh. Braze could have easily thrown the pussy at him knowing he would buckle and cave to her every command.
“Aight. I’m outta here. Watch her for me.”
“Hold fast, dude. I need to holla at you about something man.” Skid said placing his hands in the window.
“Skid, I don’t have time for this shit right now dude.”
“Well got damn it you need to make time cause this is some serious shit.”
“Aight, we’ll rap tomorrow. Just watch her.”
“Yep.” Skid sighed deeply as he backed up a little watching as Messiah drove like a clown on fire out of sight.
Even though her realized that Braze had gotten over on him, it made him chuckle to learn that Messiah was about to catch hell once he got home. He walked inside of the building wanting to stop by Red’s apartment to talk to her about what had happened earlier that day but he didn’t want to continuously freak her out about the situation. He leaned against her door trying to listen to see if he could tell what she was doing but all he heard was running water. She must be getting in the shower. He thought to himself licking his lips. Damn.
Red in fact was getting into the shower, having just dropped the last of her clothes onto the floor and stepped inside. She pulled the curtain and grabbed her loofah on a stick lathering up with her favorite ocean smelling body wash. She went down stroking in between her legs making sure to get all of the gooey wetness that she had exploded onto herself. Most of her thoughts centered on taking over the Candy Shop, the thought of that kind of power got her moist. Messiah obviously didn’t care what kind of goldmine he had if he was willing to give it up because of his child. But Red was young, eager, and ready to take on all that the business had to offer.
“Arghhhh!!” She screamed loudly as she was yanked out of the shower by her curtain and by the shoulders. “Who are you? What the fuck do you want?”
The assailant didn't speak. He dragged her kicking and screaming into the bedroom and tossed her on the bed as if she were a simple piece of clothing. Red curled up on the bed covering herself with the torn clear shower curtain barely wrapped around her. She looked to the left and right of her at both coffee tables hoping to find something that she could use to stab with. Unfortunately for her, the darkness of the room blocked her line of sight. The only light available came from the bathroom down the hall.
"Don't even think about reaching for that phone." The assailant spoke in a deep raspy voice.
"What the fuck do you want?" Red asked stalling until she figured out a plan.
"You'll find out soon enough." The dark figure stood in the corner of the room watching her every move.
"Well, can I at least put some clothes on? Ugh."
The figure was silent. Red shook her head pissed that whoever this was trying to exact revenge on her for whatever reason didn't have to make her wait to die. She was impatient like that. The things that she did in her life she most definitely wasn't proud of but she figured when it was her time it would be quick and painless.
“Hey motherfucka if you want to kill me just fucking shoot me in the head already. I ain’t got time for this shit. I done seen everything except Christ anyway.” Red snapped.
A rattling at the window forced everyone’s attention that way. A dark figure climbed through the ground floor window with ease. The large figure towered over Red darkening th
e bit of light that illuminated her body. He leaned onto the bed with his knuckles down breathing a heavy stench of vodka in her face. She leaned back to gain some sort of relief but it was no use. It quickly filled the room.
“Oh how I’ve missed you so, my dear sweet, Redina.”
Red’s eyes bucked and every hair on her body stood up like static cling. No matter how hard she tried, her mind would never forget that voice. He was not disguising his voice with a voice box like his dark counterpart in the corner. It was eerie to hear the voice she so desperately wanted to escape and thought she might not ever hear from again.
“What…are you doing here?” Red asked fighting back tears.
“You didn’t actually think I was going to forget about you and let you go that easily did you?” Pet smiled as he forcefully grabbed her by the hair pulling her in for a forehead kiss.
“Don’t you fucking touch me!” Red gritted through her teeth as she writhed to pull away.
“Oh, baby. Don’t be that way. I thought you and me had something good. Shit, we talked about everything. Well I talked and you listened but I told you things that I’ve never told anyone else, ever.” He said stroking the skin under her chin.
“How the hell did you find me?” Red asked finally escaping his grasp getting up from the bed and standing on the opposite side of it.
“Awe, you know better than that. But just in case you don’t, you do remember your good friend Tina right?” He said nodding back to the figure in the corner.
“Whoa! Pet, what the fuck? What the fuck was the point in me wearing the mask and talking through this stupid thing if you was just gonna out me like that?” Tina snapped ripping the skullcap off of her head along with the box taped around her neck.
“Shut the fuck up and go wait in the living room and make sure no one disturbs the door. I’m going to have a little fun with my next baby’s momma here.” He retorted.
“If you touch me I swear to God I will—“
“You will what? Please tell me how you will punish me. Will you drive a knife through my tongue after I’ve licked your pussy dry? Will you bite my dick off after I’ve driven it through you anally? Ooo, please do tell.”
“Uggggggghhhhhhhhhh!”Red screamed feeling no one would hear her and it was totally pointless.
“Save the screaming. It won’t help you. Not anymore.”
“Just fucking kill me now. Just please fucking kill me now!”
“Now why would I do that? I love you, Red. Don’t you understand that? I only came here to give you my seed and whisk you away with me.”
“I’m not going anywhere with you.”
“Oh, but I think you are. I’ve got a nice place all set up for us in hot Tamale Mexico. It’s going to be beautiful.” His eyes were crazily fixated upon her.
“You have got to be fucking shitting yourself if you think I’m going anywhere with you. You’re a weak pathetic bastard who can only get off by raping women.” Red snarled as she headed for the bedroom door.
Pet grabbed her arm throwing her back making her fall on the bed hard. He slammed the door closed and pulled out a long sharp butcher’s knife and sub-compact G26 and pointed right at Red’s head as he flicked on the light switch. Red sat on the bed frantically attempting to cover herself so he wouldn’t be tempted to touch any part of her. She grabbed hold of the bright red comforter on the bed pulling it close to her body.
“No. Leave it. I want to see every inch, every part of you.” Pet said as he moved in almost hunting his prey.
“Why are you doing this?” Red asked looking around for anything she could use as a weapon.
She focused in on everything around the room noticing even the smallest things. Everything in the room needed to be accounted for as she set her plan in motion. Pet neglected one lone fact about this meeting that was different from their last. She wasn’t tied up and she was capable of fighting back. It would be a cold day in hell before she allowed his disgusting paws to grace her body ever again. She made a mental note about everything, from the picture frame of her on her birthday on the wall to his right to the cell phone on the nightstand to her left.
“I told you. I thought we had a connection and I can’t stop thinking about you. I need you Red. I have to have you in my life.”
“But you should want someone who wants you back, Pet. I don’t want you and I don’t love you.” Red tried to remain calm but her anger sprouted through anyway. “I DON’T LOVE YOU!”
“You will learn.” Pet’s eyes lowered with starched anger shooting through them from her words.
He ripped the comforter from her clenched hands effortlessly dropping it on the floor. His knew hit the bed as he crawled over to her on the bed. Red scooted away backing back towards the metal headboard until she couldn’t go anymore. His rat like nose touched her chin then moved about her body as he worked to sniff around taking in her scent. He stuck the knife back behind his back into his pants but secured the gun in his hand shoving it in between her legs and up to her pussy.
“How does that feel?” He asked tonguing her erect nipple. “Mmm, looks like you like it.”
“I’m cold.” She sneered rolling her eyes.
“Don’t be snippy with me. You don’t want to make daddy mad now do you?”
“Ugh…” Red stopped. “No…no I don’t.”
“What?”
“Well. If we are going to be together, then I guess you’re right. I need to get used to loving you. So why not start now?”
“Don’t be smart. I don’t like it when you’re smart.” Pet reached back as far as he could then came back delivering a hefty smack to her chunky brown cheek.
“I’m not. I’m not being smart, Pet.” Red huffed clenching her sore cheek staring back at him. “I’m trying to be real with you.”
“Well stop it. Just don’t say anything.”
Pet leaned in attaching himself back onto her nipple again sucking away like a nine-month-old baby. He didn’t close his eyes the entire time, fondling himself as he gazed into her eyes. All Red could think of was lighting a match to lighter fluid with his body in the midst of the flame. She couldn’t bring herself to look down at him. She winced every time a shot of pleasure crept through her body. She tried her best not to like the feeling but it seemed the nerves in her body didn’t resonate that memo. When he was done he reached up and slapped her again but not as hard as the last time. He figured it would keep her in line and keep her spirits low. She was to love him but not too much.
“Now, I want you to lay down and spread your legs and put your arms around me. Don’t move, scream, or moan or I swear to God I will blow your fucking brains out.” He grinned devilishly.
“But I thought you loved me?”
SLAP! SLAP!
Red was full of tears that wouldn’t fall. She knew if she gave him the benefit of the doubt that it would only make him happy and then he would win the battle. He was not worthy enough to win neither the battle nor the war so she told herself to remain calm. All she needed to do was let him have his way with her yet again and let him think he had the upper hand. Stupid motherfucka. She thought repeatedly.
Chapter 15
Danger & Amy
Messiah sat in the car in front of his home wondering what the hell he had gotten himself into. This wasn’t the first time he had to resolve an issue with two women facing each other but because of Braze’s lack of regard for his space, he was sure it would not be the last. He needed to somehow get it through her head that he was not interested in having any kind of relationship with her now or ever. It was crazy to him that for some reason she couldn’t get it through her head that just because they had a baby didn’t mean that they needed to be together. The very fact that she was stuck on him bewildered him to his core anyway. He was a man who was intimately challenged in the bed and didn’t understand her attraction to him besides his money. But he knew it went beyond that because she was borderline losing her mind over him.
He exited the
car exhaling a deep breath slowly and fiddling with his keys. The lights were on in the living room so he knew that either Braze was still there and they were having drinks and a male bashing party or one of them had killed the other and the surviving one was trying to figure out what to do with the body. As he approached the door and turned the key, the noises eroding from inside plagued his being.
“Hello?” He said softly knowing no one would hear him.
His foot steps were as silent as his voice as he attempted to tip toe his way up the stairs to retrieve some clothes and head back out. He made it to one of the stairs before hearing the noises again and they were coming from the kitchen. It was hard to ignore them because it was something he so very rarely heard especially in his household. Against his better judgment, he crept down the hallway and into the kitchen but only peeked his head in trying to see what was going on.
“Who the hell is that?” Alexis shouted grabbing a long pitchfork from the dish block on the marble island counter.
“Whoa! Whoa! It’s just me.” Messiah said busting in putting his hands up.
“Oh! Baby, you scared the shit out of me.”
“Yeah, I could say the same thing.” He retorted. “What’s uh, what’s going on?”
“Well baby, you forgot to tell me that your sister was coming to visit. And look at me I was in my nighty and heels trying to be sexy for you and you didn’t tell me we had company coming.” Alexis rambled on with a freakish wide smile. “And guess what? I cooked!”
“Oh you did?” Messiah laughed curiously. “My sister, eh.”
“Yeah silly. But you got here too late, babe. We done ate and everything. Now we sitting here catching up and drinking wine.” Alexis said taking another sip of chilled Pinot Grigio from her glass.
