Ain't No Wifey

by Jahquel J.

  Micah ignored everything she has said and climbed in the bed next to her, pulling her small body into his big arms. He took her nipple in his mouth and sucked on it like he expected some milk to come out. Minka opened her legs and Micah stuck his fingers in her pussy gently going in and out of her tight hole.

  “Micahhhh, ssstop.” Minka begged, dragging her words. It felt so good to her. For the first time in three years she was having sex with someone who she didn’t have to fake it with. She was enjoying him as he explored her body.

  Micah pulled his basketball shorts down and released his dick. Minka licked her lips. His dick had to be about 10 inches long and nice and fat. She wanted to taste it but before she could, Micah grabbed her and positioned her on top of him. It was a little big for Minka but if she was good at one thing, it was making shit fit.

  She eased up and down, wincing in pain. Once she got used to it she started easing up and down on Micah’s stiff pole; making it disappear then reappear. Micah slapped her ass then sucked her nipples. He pulled Minka off of him and got up and picked her up from the bed, opening the balcony doors.

  Micah leaned Minka against the railing while inserting two fingers into her pussy. She gyrated her hips on his fingers. The two kept going for another hour before Minka had her first orgasm and Micah flipped her over and fucked her from behind slapping her ass ever so often.

  “Damnn, baby…your shit so tight.” Micah moaned as he slapped her ass again. He fucked her for half an hour more before releasing his seed deep in her garden.

  Micah carried Minka to the bed and laid her down. He went and retrieved a towel then turned Minka over. He wiped her down kissing each part he wiped. Minka was so weak she couldn’t move; for a big boy he had gave her the best sexual experience she ever had.

  Micah opened her legs and wiped but stopped when he saw the inside of her thighs.

  “Babe, what happened to the inside of your legs?” he asked looking at the bite marks Austin had given her a couple months ago.

  “A long story,” Minka answered barely above a whisper.

  Micah left it alone but decided he would ask her another time. He turned on the news, something he did every night. Then he grabbed Minka and cuddled in the bed while she slept on his chest and watched the news until he drifted off to sleep.

  Minka woke up the next morning naked and horny again. The pipe Micah put on her last night had her addicted. She reached her hand over to rub his dick and get him started, but he wasn’t in the bed. She grabbed her cellphone and looked at the time. It was two in the afternoon. She went into his closet and grabbed one of his football jerseys before going downstairs to find him.

  When Minka walked in the kitchen, Sasha and Donovan were sitting on the counter with Micah. Donovan was drooling over how good she looked and the hate was evident in Sasha’s eyes but she still played it off.

  “Bestie! OMG, what are you doing here?” Sasha ran to Minka to kiss her cheeks.

  “Long story.” Minka grabbed an orange juice out the fridge.

  “That’s your favorite saying, ain’t it.” Micah laughed. Minka was still sleepy and always had an attitude when she woke up.

  “It might be.” She winked at Micah and walked back up stairs.

  Minka was sitting on the bed drinking her orange juice and watching Wendy Williams when Micah walked in the room with his gym clothes on. She continued watching TV like he didn’t just walk in the room. Micah sensed she had an attitude but he didn’t know why. They were good last night and this morning she was acting stand-offish.

  Minka knew she was falling head over heels with this man and in order to protect herself she needed to step back and distance herself from him but it was so hard. She wanted to spend every waking moment with him and cuddle but she knew eventually this roller coaster would stop and she would have to get off and get back to reality. A reality she was growing tired of.

  “Yo, what’s wrong with you?” Micah questioned raising his voice. He didn’t like to play games and Minka seemed like she was playing one.

  “Nothing. I’m just not feeling it today.”

  “Look Minka, I’m not one of them niggas that play games. I know what I want and I get it. I’m not going be chasing you around like some weak nigga while you do you. I’m all in, are you?” Micah laid it out there. He was young but he wasn’t about to play mind games with her like they were in high school.

  “Yeah,” Minka answered quietly.

  “Prove it.”

  “How am I supposed to prove it?” she asked confused.

  “I'm gonna show you. Come on.”

  ***

  Micah and Minka pulled up to the Harry Winston Jewelry Store on Rodeo drive. Minka knew his jewelry and she also knew you needed an appointment weeks in advance to come. It was that exclusive.

  “Boo, you need an appointment,” Minka warned Micah.

  Micah ignored her and got out and opened her door to help her out. He walked in the store and straight to an Italian man with black hair and a fine tailored suit.

  “Franco, long time no see.” Micah broke his silence.

  “Micah, what brings you in? Who is this beauty?” Franco took Minka’s hand and kissed it.

  “This is Minka. Minka this is Franco,” Micah introduced. “Franco, remember that ring we designed a while back for the one?

  “Eh...I see. Is this the one?” Franco asking once he pulled out a small case. Micah nodded with a smile and Franco clapped his hands, excited. Micah and Franco walked over to the side to talk while Minka stood by the counter reading a text message she just received from Austin.

  On rodeo drive? I see you finally got a man to take you out instead of just to a hotel, you whore.

  Minka looked around feeling an uneasy that Austin knew where she was. Her heart started to pump as she looked around and outside to see how he knew where she was. At this moment she regretted ever knowing Austin. Minka was so busy looking around she didn’t hear Micah calling her name.

  “Come here, baby.” Micah called Minka over to where he and Franco were standing. Then Micah dropped to one knee and opened the box. Minka had tears in her eyes. The text message from Austin slipped her mind completely when Micah got on his knees.

  “I know it’s early and we just met a few months ago but I want you to know what I feel is real. We can learn to grow together and right each other’s wrongs. We don’t have to get married today. Tomorrow or next year but as long as I know it’s in our future I’m satisfied. Will you marry me?” Micah asked opening the box with a two carat, emerald-cut diamond set as a ring with tapered baguette side stones and a platinum setting.

  ` “Oh my god BABY! This ring is so gorgeous, YESS! YESS!” Minka screamed and kissed him. The proposal was spontaneous which summed up her life, so it was only right Micah proposed in that manner. Minka was so excited and hoped she didn’t make a mistake accepting his proposal so soon.

  “I can’t believe you did this! We need to plan a trip to my grandparents ASAP.” Minka said rambled on.

  “I got practice, Ma, so you go tell them. Send them my regards and bring your pretty ass back to me as soon as possible.” Just then, Minka’s phone chimed.

  Minkas, Miami tomorrow. Gala for the autism awareness.

  Minka read the message from George’s assistant. It was perfect timing.

  “I’m going to leave tonight or tomorrow morning.”

  “Whatever you wanna do, baby, is fine with me but you gonna break me off with some before you leave,” He insisted doing the ‘Stevie J.’ smile.

  “Shit, you might get more than that. I’m wifey for lifey,” Minka waved the ring in his face, quoting Yvette from the movie Baby Boy.

  “You crazy, bae.” Micah pulled off towards their home.

  Chapter Eleven

  Minka laid in the spare bedroom of her grandparent’s house. She had took the red eye the night before and instead of going to her condo, she went to her grandparents. She really didn’t want to
be alone with the freak, Austin, harassing her. Minka decided to do Face Time with Micah. She had only been gone a couple hours and she already missed him so much.

  “Make my morning, shorty.” Micah gave Minka that nickname because of her small stature. She lifted her shirt and exposed her breasts.

  “Damn, when you said you coming back again?” Micah asked.

  “In a week I’ll be back. I’m going to New York to check on my condo. I also want to tell my girl the good news.”

  “Baby, off subject, but what do you do that you have all these properties and you’re flying all over?”

  “A trust fund,” Minka lied, knowing her money her grandparents gave her was long gone.

  “So, I’m gonna be marrying a trust fund brat?”

  “Yup, with a shoe addiction. But I got to go babe, Gram is making breakfast.”

  “Shoes ain’t a problem as long as that’s all your addicted to…Ight. Love you.”

  “I love you, too,” Minka said for the first time and actually meaning it. Minka walked in the kitchen to the smell of fresh blueberry oatmeal and cinnamon toast. She came in late so she hadn’t seen her grandmother yet.

  “Good morning, Gram.”

  “I thought that was you, Minkas. Why you here?” Edna kissed her favorite granddaughter.

  “To show you this.” Minka flashed her ring.

  “That man proposed to you? He is a good man and I can see he makes you happy. You know what he does right?”

  “Yeah, Grams, and it was foul you didn’t tell me.”

  “It’s a lesson learned. Sometimes love happens by accident, when you least expect it. You can't prepare for it, you can't be ready. It just happens. Now, make this work and love that man like I know you can. Make sure you fill his stomach and empty his balls.” Edna chuckled at her twisted humor,

  “Grams that is too much information. I don’t need to be talking about this with you.”

  “Child, why you think your grandfather is still around? I know how to take care of my man.” Minka laughed at her grandmother.

  Minka spent the entire morning and afternoon with her grandparents. It was so refreshing to be with her two favorite people in the world. Her grandparents often told her they were lucky to be blessed at another chance at raising a daughter but Minka felt she was blessed to be raised by her grandparents. She could have had a horrible life with drugs, sex and other things but she lived a normal life with so much love, care, nurturing and she never wanted for anything. She was blessed to experience that when so many other kids didn’t.

  ***

  Minka and George sat talking at their table at the gala. She enjoyed his company and the ten carat tennis bracelet he got her. She sold the bracelet Austin bought her. She felt it held a bad memory and she didn’t want to wear it.

  “George, did I tell you I got engaged?” She said waving her hand in his face.

  “Good lord, who is this lucky man? I’m happy for you, Minkas, you deserve it. And taking from that ring, he could take care of you very well, I see.”

  “Yes, he can. I can’t keep accompanying you or keep our little arrangement going on either. I’m sure my fiancé wouldn’t like It.” she smiled.

  “Minkas, I’m an old man. You never judged me and you always came through when I needed you. You deserve to be happy. And don’t worry about the condos, they will still be paid like always.” George winked at her.

  “Thank you, George.” Minka leaned across the table and kissed him on the cheek.

  In the far corner, Sasha sat with her iPhone out catching a photo and saving it on her phone. She was there with her sponsor, Walton Andrews, the CEO of Citibank. To say he was paid would be an understatement. Sasha had to get money wherever she got it from. True, she had her own company with her sister but it didn’t afford her to drive a Lamborghini or Porsche. She would be damned driving a two year old leased BMW like her sister. What Donovan didn’t know couldn’t hurt him. Not like she cared about him, anyways, she just needed him to be close.

  Later that night, Minka lay in bed at her grandparents’ house with her gown and heels still on. She had a nice evening with George. He had sent her home early and deposited a hundred grand in her account as a wedding gift. She would miss that old man. He was a sweet person and never degraded her. He always treated her with utmost respect. Minka was staring at the ceiling when her phone beeped indicating she had a message.

  Let’s stop playing the games, Miami here I come.

  She threw her phone on the night stand. She needed to put this to a stop with Austin and she didn’t understand why he was harassing her when he had a wife. She knew one thing. She was not going to allow him to humiliate her anymore. She was going to be Micah’s wife and, one day, the mother of his children. She couldn’t keep living the life she was living. If she wanted to be treated like a wife she needed to act like a wife. She didn’t want to reveal what she did to Micah, so she figured if she stopped that way she would never have to.

  Chapter Twelve

  Ashley had just come back from a romantic weekend in Atlantic City with Juelz. She and Juelz had been getting along and falling in love all over again and she was enjoying it. He upgraded her car and re-did the whole apartment. Ashley was able to scale back on how many hours she worked at the hospital, so she could spend more time with Ashland. Ashley was in the kitchen cooking brunch while Ashland and Juelz were at the park when someone knocked on the door.

  “Hold on,” Ashley yelled, while putting the muffins in the oven. Then she walked over to open the door.

  “Hey, Ash. Remember me, your best friend?” Minka said pushing her way into the apartment.

  “What are you doing here, Minka?” Ashley replied trying not to stutter.

  “I came to tell you the good news in person. I’m getting married!”

  “What? Wow, who is this man and why haven’t I met him?” Minka went to sit in the living room and took a seat, she needed to fill her girl in on what had been going on. She looked around the apartment a little confused.

  “You redecorated? Since when? I thought you liked it before.”

  “I did but people change and I needed one.” Ashley murmured being inexplicit about the real reason.

  Right after Ashley’s statement Juelz and Ashland came through the door and if looks could kill Juelz would be dead. Ashland ran to Minka and she hugged and kissed her godson. He had gotten so big from the last time she saw him and he was so cute. She looked at the Gucci outfit he was rocking from head to toe and she didn’t remember buying him it.

  “Go play in your room, baby, Auntie will come in before she leaves.” Minka kissed him before he ran off to his room.

  “Really, Ash? Like you couldn’t tell me you got back with this bum nigga?” Minka stood up. She was ready to go.

  “Minka, you’re not gonna disrespect my man in our house. I know I should have told you and I regret that I didn’t, but it happened and I love him. I can’t change how I feel and I damn sure not going to because you said so. You’re traveling all over and now you’re engaged. Am I not supposed to be happy or am I supposed to wait for you to come around and want to be bothered? Sometimes I don’t hear from you in weeks and this time months. I get a text saying ‘I’m alive’ and an occasional selfie. That’s all I get. I’m a single mom with a little man to raise and he needs his father. I can’t be selfish and deny Ashland of that because of how you feel.” Ashley stood firm on her beliefs.

  “Oh, this y'all house now? Where was this nigga when I paid six months’ rent and the deposit? Where was he when Ashland didn’t have diapers or formula? What about when you were finishing school and I paid for a babysitter to watch him all day and sometimes night because you had to study? Bitch, let’s go look in Ashland’s closet and see all the designer clothes that’s in there because of me. His school tuition I paid that shit, too, and never asked for a dime. Now this nigga come in here and wants to be a father after missing four years of his son’s life and you sticking up for h
im? I’ve been his father more than this nigga. And now it’s a crime because I’m traveling and never home. It’s my damn life. If I want to, I can. I didn’t get knocked up so why should I be subject to stay in one place?” Minka screamed. She wasn’t crying. She was hurt but she wouldn’t let it show until she was in the privacy of her own company.

  “Yo, you not gonna come in here and disrespect me….”

  “Nigga, don’t address me. Ain’t shit you can tell me about leaving your son and baby mother while you ran around in the same city not acknowledging him. I’m done with his conversation, Ash, have a good life with this nigga. And, Juelz, you ain’t looking too good. Word on the street, this nigga a dust head, anyway, and a snitch. Good luck with that.” Minka smirked after interrupting Juelz. She didn’t want to hear anything he said and she knew her relationship with Ashley probably couldn’t be salvaged.

  “Minka you know I love you but I want to be happy. I want to feel love. Look at that ring on your finger. You’re getting married which means you’re gonna have your own kids and man to take care of. How are you gonna have time to fit me and Ashland in? You’re not. We already haven’t seen you in months. And stop listening to rumors.” Ashley whimpered.

  More than anything she didn’t want to end her friendship with Minka. They were sisters to the end. Minka rolled her eyes. She knew Ashley was right but she wasn’t about to let her know that in front of that nigga. She sucked her teeth and left without saying anything to Ashland. She would call her and talk to him on her own time.

  ***

  Minka stayed in her condo, blocking everyone out for two weeks. She hadn’t spoken to Micah in a week she just sent him text messages letting him know she was fine and needed some time. He didn’t like it and couldn’t come to New York because of practice, so he accepted it. Minka sat back analyzing her life. She had a bank account with six figures in it and still wasn’t happy. The only time she was happy and found peace was with Micah but she was grown enough to know not to depend on somebody else to make you happy.
