Back 2 Business (Candy Shop 2)

  “Why are you snapping on me?” Messiah asked hesitantly.

  Alexis knew that in order to get through this with everything she wanted and more she would have to continue to play this little game. “Oh! Oh, yes baby I’m fine. I’m sorry I was just a little dazed there.”

  “Uh…do you remember anything?” Braze asked Alexis while she was staring at Messiah curiously.

  “What? Oh God no. I’m still drawing a blank. Sorry to burst your bubble guys. But that was one hard fall though, huh?” Alexis said walking over to Messiah stretching her tongue into his mouth like a porn star pro. “I guess I’d better be more careful, huh, Braze?

  Alexis wiped her lips squinting her eyes at Braze and MJ. She sucked her lips as she grabbed the breakfast dishes and tossed the uneaten food into the garbage disposal. Braze was livid inside having worked on that breakfast too damn hard for her to waste it all like that, not to mention she was mega hungry right then.

  “Alright ladies play nice. I’m gone.” Messiah stated as he kissed his son once more and darted out the door.

  “I made that breakfast because I was hungry. You don’t have to eat it if you don’t want to. I’ll clean up the mess.” Braze protested as she lowered her sleeping full son back down on the beanbag.

  “I can’t stand to see my kitchen in clutter.” Alexis’ voice was no longer inviting in fact it was cold.

  Braze walked over trying to get a good look at her face suspecting that something was up with her. She didn’t seem like the pleasant person she was yesterday. For the first time since she devised her evil plan to live under one roof with Messiah and his wife it finally dawned on her that she just might be asked to leave one day too soon.

  “You did get your memory back, didn’t you? Just now, right then?” Braze asked crossing her arms.

  “What’s it to you? As long as you get a free fucking place to stay that’s all you care about right?” Alexis yowled as she scrubbed the same spot of the counter for ten minutes straight. “I mean what else could you want? You already have my husband’s baby. Let me guess, you want him too right?”

  Braze was silent staring at the sun shining through the window. Alexis turned to see the expression on her face and coupled with the silence she knew exactly what Braze’s intentions were. It would have pissed her off if it weren’t for one thing. She had the ring and was determined to keep it. There was not a chance in hell that she would relinquish it to her just because she had a bald headed baby whom she claimed was his.

  “You know, you’re not the only one he’s brought up in here talking about ‘this my baby’s momma’.”

  “What?”

  “Yeah…and then we’d do a blood test and find out that bitch was lying through her teeth just so she could get some money. So we kicked her bum ass out on the street.” Alexis laughed as she turned back around resuming her cleaning.

  “Is that what you wanna do to me?”

  “No. At least not yet anyway. You’re gonna help me save my marriage and while you’re doing that we’re gonna get this little baby here a small test, if you know what I mean.”

  “Help your marriage? That’s not what I came here for.”

  “I know. You, like all the rest of the hoes, figure you can take my place. You all figure you can be me and steal my life and my man and live happily ever after being the better woman for him. But what you bitches don’t really don’t know is even if he got the chance to leave me, it would only be a matter of time before he did the same shit to you.”

  “Messiah’s been playing all of us for years.”

  “Oh, don’t trip.” Alexis said pouring herself a glass of Merlot. “It was mostly my fault for not trying to fix my marriage in the beginning. Instead I just went out and fucked his brother…and whoever else wanted to slide up in my shit.”

  “I think we’re just misunderstood women who happen to be in love with the same man. And if you lay off the booze a little and appreciate what you have, maybe we could be a happy family. You…” Braze walked over taking her drink from her hand and pulling her neck down to her short level then sucking passionately. “me, Messiah and our son.”

  “Our son? I don’t even like kids.” Alexis tried to fight her but her tongue felt so warm and tantalizing on her neck.

  “You’ll learn.” Braze replied as she carefully removed her silk purple nighty from her body.

  It fell naturally to the floor unveiling her voluptuous tall golden skinned body. It was beautiful in every way. Braze smiled admiring her, running her fingertips from her V like opening and up to her nipples then placed on of the gently on her lips. She Eskimo kissed her nipples taunting them to become erect and making Alexis’ pussy dripping wet at the same time. Braze squatted down on her knees placing her tongue on the very outskirts of her pussy pressing against it firmly. She licked from the opening just barely touching her protruding clit and working her way all the way up to her tits where she sucked them for two seconds each. Alexis kept her hands down to her side in total shock that a woman was treating her this way and she liked it. Her face was pulled into Braze’s by her hands for a brief tongue wrestling match.

  “And you’ll learn to love me too, bitch. Cause like it or not, I ain’t going nowhere. Me and my son are here to stay. So you either get with the program or you get left behind. I can and will destroy you boo. But I’d rather lick your pussy ‘til its dry.” Braze walked over to the beanbag swooping up MJ in one swift motion. “You make the call.”

  Braze left the room and Alexis finally released the breath she was holding when Braze walked away from her. She just knew that she was going to get her pussy licked like none other right then. It was amazing that a woman could touch her, lick her, or make her feel so sexy and sensual. It intrigued her to no end. She yearned for more like a crack head yearned for his next fix. Breathing heavily, biting her lip and feeling like she was going to cum on herself, her legs left her nighty on the kitchen floor. Then she disabled her mind allowing her pussy to lead her upstairs.

  Chapter 20

  Exposed

  Red woke up on the sofa alone. Her naked body was covered in a white sheet she recognized as being one of those from her linen closet. Considering the night's events, to her surprise, she was completely well rested. There was only one person who she could contribute to that and that was Skid. She immediately rose forgetting about covering herself to find out where he was. The apartment was silent. Her thoughts ran rampant figuring he only used her for sex. All of that bullshit he said was only to fulfill his own sick needs.

  Rejection, heartbreak, and being used were feelings she knew all to well. Red knew it would be a long shot to find someone who was different from all the other assholes she had encountered in her lifetime. She was now faced with the issue of if Skid would run off and tell Messiah that he banged her and fuck up her chances with him too.

  With her head hung mighty low she headed towards the back hoping to finally get a nice hot shower in with no interruptions. As she neared the bathroom she peeked over into her bedroom at the minuscule coagulated blood pattered on the wall and realized the majority of the mess was missing.

  “Good morning.” Skid said emerging from behind the door.

  “AH!” Red jumped back, holding her chest and startled by his presence. “You scared the shit out of me.”

  “Why’d I scare you? You knew I was here…right?”

  “Well…I didn’t see you and it was so quiet in here I just thought—“

  “You thought I left you?” Skid inquired. “I see we’ve got some more learning to do about each other. I would never do you like that.”

  “Sorry.” Red apologized biting her bottom lip playfully.

  “I only left your side to clean the room before it settled in. You sleeping on my body made it the best night of my life. I promise to never let you wake up alone again. Okay?” Skid explained giving her lips a tender peck.

  “Okay.”

  “Great. Now saunter that sexy ass on in the
kitchen and cook a nigga somethin’ to eat.” Skid laughed as he friskily smacked her on the ass.

  “Uh, there’s just one problem with that babe. I don’t have any food here.”

  The two of them laughed. They were hardly ever home, which meant they ate out more often than not. He pulled her in for a long tongue lashing then kissed her forehead slowly and tenderly.

  “Then I guess we’d better hit an Ihop or something. Get dressed. I’m almost done here.” Skid said as he walked over to scrub the small remaining amount of blood of the wall. “That’ll be cool anyway, though. I need to talk to you about something.”

  “Talk about what?” Red asked as she slipped on a pair of jeans and pink laced bra with matching tank top.

  “Well its not some shit that should be taken lightly and I need to sit and explain it.”

  “Skid, don’t sugar coat shit for me and beat around the bush now. After all this and you gonna pussy foot me?”

  He sighed harshly not wanting to deal with the issue right then but because time was of the essence he knew he would have. It was a conversation that might indeed fuck up their beautiful night and amorous morning. Skid took the rubber gloves off his hands and tossed them on the floor then walked over to her taking her by the hand and leading her into the living room. He extended his hand for her to sit down while he stood pacing trying to get his thoughts together before he spoke.

  “Alright, I need you to help me out with something. But I need to know that when I ask you to do this you will be all in this for me.” Skid said bringing his pacing to a halt.

  “Oh my God. You’re not going to ask me to marry you are you? I mean that sounds nice and shit but damn Skid I’m just getting used to us as a freakin’ couple. I love you and I can be in love with you deeply, I see it, but marriage.” Red hyperventilated.

  “Huh? Girl you trippin’. I ain’t thinkin’ about that shit right now. Don’t twist it, I would marry you. But no that’s not what this is about.”

  “Then what is this about?” Red questioned as she stood caressing his broad chest.

  He quickly grabbed her hands pushing her away from him so he could think clearly on what needed to be said. Skid rubbed his head roughly then looked back down at her big gorgeous brown eyes and wondered how he could ever ask her to do his bidding for him. Just as he was about to speak there was a mild knock on the door. He signaled for her to keep silent while he slowly moved over to check the peephole to see whom the visitor was. His heart dropped when he saw the figure standing outside the door immediately recognizing him. Before he opened the door he checked for his piece making sure it was securely placed behind his back.

  “Do you love me?” Skid whispered as he turned to Red.

  “Of course I do.” Red replied a bit bewildered as to why he was asking this with his hand on the doorknob.

  “Then tell him.” He said as he opened the door.

  Red watched as Messiah walked in the door. She gasped and her heart sunk to the pits of her stomach. She stood and cut her eyes from one man to the other back and forth wondering what kind of shit Skid had pulled on her. Her lips were stuck open and her palms were sweaty like she had just finished working out at the gym.

  “Hey, uh, hey y’all.” Messiah said as he looked around the room noticing a few things in disarray and solemn looks on their faces. “Who died?”

  “Um…” Red mumbled.

  “We had a little problem here last night but it was handled.” Skid interrupted eyeing her from across the room.

  “Oh. Okay then. So, then we don’t have a problem. Skid could you give us some time alone. I need to holla at her real quick.”

  “No.”

  “What? Nigga what the fuck you mean no?”

  “No.” Skid repeated. “Red has something she wants to say to you.”

  Red stared back at him clenching her hands in front of her. She really didn’t want to say anything to Messiah but everything that she had seen and heard last night came rushing back to her. She stared into Messiah’s eyes knowing that he was just about to lie to her about whatever and knew she had no reason to stand for the shit anymore. Her eyes cut back to Skid smiling at him as he winked at her.

  “Messiah, we are done. Skid is my man now and you need to deal with that.” She announced with confidence.

  “Huh? When the fuck this happen?” Messiah had gone from zero to fifty in a matter of seconds. “You been fucking him all this time?”

  “No! No, we actually just got together.” She explained.

  “Oh yeah. When?”

  “Last night.”

  Messiah busted out laughing his ass off. He felt like it was all a joke what she was telling him and if it wasn’t a joke there was no way she could call this dude her man when they had only been together for less than twenty-four hours. After he got a good laugh in he turned to Skid and shook his head at how disloyal he had been to him. Out of everyone who had played him he was hurt to find out that Skid was one of those self-serving back stabbing motherfuckas too.

  “So this what you do, huh? I thought you was my man. A hundred grand.” Messiah uttered.

  “Ay, maybe if you wasn’t so busy chasin’ hoes that wasn’t shit than maybe you could’ve had her. I’m gonna show her what a real man does.” Skid sucked his teeth unscathed by Messiah’s attempt to guilt him.

  “Is that right?”

  “That’s right, Meech. But I’m glad you’re here, you see cause my woman is the least of your problems.” Skid warned.

  “Wait, Skid. Is this what you wanted to talk to me about?” Red asked not wanting a fight to break out over her.

  “Babe, your guy here hasn’t been paying his debts and now his debtor wants to collect. That’s why the Candy Shop hasn’t been prospering like it used to and it’s also the reason why most of his soldiers went rogue. He stopped upping that money like he did in the beginning.”

  “What? You’re broke?” Red said shaking her head. “And my rape could’ve been avoided if you had’ve just paid your fucking men too, huh?”

  “Man, Zadie set you up, man. Don’t blame that shit on me!” Messiah snapped. “Fuck that! I’m the one who sent the order up to go look for you. I’m the one!”

  “Yeah while you were in the hospital with your wife.” Skid added.

  “Ugh! The very wife that you were sleeping with last night with your little fuck toy, Braze.” Red continued.

  “What? How do you—“ Messiah paused.

  “You didn’t think I knew about that, baby? Why wouldn’t I? I’m not as stupid as I look Messiah?”

  Messiah looked around the room feeling like he had been set up royally. He started kicking hisself in the ass figuratively feeling like for this kind of drama he could have stayed at home. It slowly began to dawn on him that the only way she could know about last night was if someone tipped her off or if someone who was there sent her proof. It plagued his mind but he knew there was nothing he could do about it now.

  “Tell her Meech. Tell her how you had been playing her since the beginning. That’s why you never told her about Alexis. You figured you could do to her what you did to Braze and have your cake and eat it too.” Skid said as he gazed into her eyes.

  “Man this is really some bitch shit, you know that? You did all this for what? For some pussy? You couldn’t get pussy on your own so you had to lie to get huh?” Messiah turned walking towards Red reaching out to grab her arm. “Baby, you gonna believe this nigga over me?”

  “Yeah. I think I am.” She said as she snatched away from his touch.

  Skid turned around and took out his Iphone checking for any missed calls before anyone could notice. There were a ton of them. He stuffed it back into his pocket quickly then walked over to Red taking the midsized black gun from behind his back and handed it to her. He stood behind her hovering over her like a dark cloud holding her hands around the gun.

  “What’s this for?” She asked.

  “I want you to make sure this nigga don’t go nowh
ere. I’m going to go make a phone call.” Skid kissed her cheek then eyed Messiah as he headed back towards the bedroom and closed the door.

  “So this is what we’ve come to, Red? I thought we were better than that.” Messiah barked.

  “I’m sorry. I can’t let you go.”

  “Do you even know why you can’t let me go? This nigga got you runnin’ shit for him and you don’t even know why. You let this nigga fuck you stupid.”

  “Excuse me? First of all its none of your business what he did to me and second of all if he did fuck me stupid you better believe it was way better than the three seconds of fun you shot in my mouth.”

  “Bitch! I treated you like a fucking queen and you repay me like this?” Messiah’s voiced raised six octaves above normal as he began to panic wanting out of the apartment. “I’m out! You can’t hold me here.”

  “After all I’ve gone through because of you, you would fix your lips to call me a bitch?” Red smirked. “Messiah, I’m warning you. If you move I’m gonna blow your fucking head off.”

  “You ain’t got the balls to shoot me. I know don’t.”

  “Then you don’t know me very well.” She retorted raising the gun up pointing right in between his eyes. “You already know I’m a beast for it. Ask your girl Zadie.”

  “Redina—“

  “You know I used to think you were the man of the decade. You were so suave and distinguished. But now I see your nothing but a pathetic loser who treats women like toilet paper.”

  “You don’t know what you’re talking about. I did love you Red.”

  “Yes but you loved her more huh?” Red shook her head forcing herself to fight back tears. “Just like you loved her last night.”
