The look in Nina’s face was frightening as her skin tone turned white as a ghost. “The call was about Rick. Somebody just shot him in the hole.” She stated with disbelief. “And he’s dead.” Scarlett gasped for air as she hung her head low. Strangely, Nina had just said that Karma was a bitch, but they didn’t know that she would show up that day and put a complete stop to Rick’s existence.
The room was very quiet as they both stared at each other, neither not knowing what to say. Then as Scarlett sat there feeling bad for best friend and her kids, Nina fainted causing her to jump to her feet to try to catch her.
Chapter 15
Scarlett lay across her bed feeling sick. The thoughts of someone blowing Rick’s brains out and leaving him stank in the car had her speechless. Even though he wasn’t one of her favorite people, Nina still had a history and kids by him. Scarlett sighed, thinking that it’d been plenty times that Nina wished his ass wasn’t around, but she didn’t want him dead.
She rolled over on her back and looked up at the ceiling then looked toward her door, hearing a light knock. “Come in,” she called out as Gwen walked in.
“Hey, how is Nina doing?” Gwen asked.
“She’s doing about as well as one can be expected. She’s taking this hard, because it was so unexpected.”
“I know it was.” Gwen sadly responded. “I still can’t believe it.”
“Well, her mom brought her some kind of strong pill to calm her down and she’d gone to sleep by the time I left. Have you heard anything else about what happened?”
“I just heard that Rick and some lil young boy name Chopper had it out over a dice game. They said that Rick took the money he’d won and walked off. By the time he could get in his car and crank it up to leave; Chopper was standing at the driver window and blew the side of his face off with a .45 handgun.”
Scarlett sadly shook her head.
“That’s messed up,” she said, feeling somewhat bad for the perverted nigga.
“Well, it’s already ten o’clock at night. So, hopefully she’ll sleep through the night.” Gwen said.
“Yeah, hopefully,” Scarlett said as her phone started to vibrate, letting her know that she had an incoming text message.
We need to talk as soon as you get a chance. Sheila
About what? Red
We’ll talk in due time. Just know that I know. Sheila
Scarlett frowned then messaged back.
You know what? Red
She sat there for about ten minutes trying to think of what Sheila could’ve known. Could it have been the fact that she was fucking Jay, once upon a time, or that she was fucking Greg whenever she could. With Sheila, there was no telling and her not messaging back definitely made her feel uneasy.
As soon as she was about to send another message to Sheila to see what the fuck was going on, her phone rang. She quickly answered it since she’d not heard this voice since she’d walked out on him.
“Hey big head,” she spoke with a slight smile.
“What’s up, babe.” Luke spoke back. “I have sat here for the past ten minutes trying to figure out if I should call you since I know that you’re already going through a lot with Nina.”
Scarlett’s heart dropped. “The tests are back?”
“Yes,” Luke stated.
“The baby is yours, ain’t it?”
“Yes,” Luke confirmed. Scarlett got quiet. She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t. She was beyond hurt, because she really loved Luke and wanted nothing more than to be with him. Now she couldn’t. “Babe, say something.”
Tears escaped her eyes. “There’s nothing to say.”
His eyes watered, because he could hear the pain in her voice. “We can still be together. Just because she’s having a baby by me doesn’t mean that we can’t have a family together one day. Let me prove my love to you. Just let me show you.”
“Your dad was the one that had the test done, right?” She questioned, making sure that there wasn’t any foul play.
“Yeah, he did.”
Damn, she thought knowing that the test results were for sure the truth.
“Are you okay?” He asked. “Can I come over to see you? I just wanna make sure that you’re really okay.”
“I’m okay,” she said, trying not to bust out crying. Seeing Nina going through her emotional stress and now having to deal with her own was starting to feel like too much.
“I’m sorry,” he said, feeling choked up, because he knew that he’d hurt her. “I’m so sorry.”
Scarlett wiped her tears, but only more formed as they rushed down her cheeks. She couldn’t even make out her words from feeling like she was suffocating on them. She sat in silence as the knot in her throat seemed to swell and had started hurting from holding in the pain. Then finally, she cleared her throat in hopes of making it easier to talk.
“I’ll talk to you, later.” She said then hung up the phone before he could get out another word. She buried her head in her pillow and cried like a baby.

A couple of hours later, Scarlett found herself back at the only house of the person that could comfort her. He’d known everything about her situation with Luke, because she’d told him. He also knew that if the baby wasn’t Luke’s that she was going to attempt to give their relationship a chance. That’s why she chose to back off from him and he had no choice, but to understand. Now she was back and knocking on his door, waiting for him to open it.
Troy opened the door and Scarlett looked up at him, puffy eyed and sad. He stepped out on the porch and gave her a warm, genuine hug. To him, it felt like the first time she’d ever visited his house as he kissed her softly on the top of her head.
“It’s gonna be alright, and you’re gonna be alright.” He assured her then pulled her by the hand as he led the way into his house.
____________________
Twenty minutes later, Scarlett was laid across Troy’s bed on her stomach as he lay beside her. He felt bad for her, because he knew that she was good girl with a good heart and he hated to see that someone was crushing her feelings.
He rubbed his fingers through her loose hair. She softly moaned from his soft touch. Just being there made her feel better. She didn’t want to think about Luke or the baby being his. She didn’t want to think about what Sheila was hinting around at. She didn’t want to think about Rick’s untimely death and the pain that it was causing her best friend. She didn’t want to think about her broken heart or how she was betraying Troy from holding back information. All she wanted to do was forget any and everything outside of that room and get lost in the night.
Troy could sense her yearning for him. He knew that she was lost and he just wanted to show her the way. He slowly eased over to her as he continued to massage her scalp with his fingers. He then worked his way to her shoulder blades. Scarlett softly moaned from his soothing touch. Troy was kneading her muscles like biscuit dough, causing her to relax more and more. Once the massaging stopped, he incorporated kisses down her back, and then spontaneously he slid his tongue down the crack of her ass.
“Baby,” was all Scarlett could get out between heated breathes of passion. She was definitely experiencing high levels of ecstasy as she bit down on the pillow under her head. She felt as if she was having an out of body experience. Her insides squirmed, causing her to attempt to get away from his grip, but he wouldn't give her an inch. He locked her legs around his torso and lifted Scarlett’s ass in the air. With his neck titled back, so he could get a good look at her goodies, he then dived in; pressing his face in her pussy and French kissing her moist lips.
“Sssss… Aaaaah,” she softly moaned from excitement. He darted his tongue in and out of her hot gushes like a Cobra. Scarlett was so hypnotized that she didn't even realize that Troy had stopped or the fact that she’d exploded like a volcanic eruption filled with lava. She looked down and couldn't believe her pussy was still coughing up cum as her body jerked uncontrollably. S
he was spent, but Troy wasn't finished. That was just round one.
Round two started immediately with him tongue kissing her with such passion that she was on the verge of passing out from a lack of oxygen. He slowly maneuvered his fingers down below and finger played with her clit. Scarlett was so caught up in his kisses and the feeling that he was giving her, she damn near started talking in tongues through every breathe she could get out. Troy applied more pressure on her clit as he inserted one then two fingers inside of her creamy pussy. He was twirling her insides as if they were auditioning for a lead role at King of Diamonds.
Scarlett thought Luke was the best lover she had ever been with, but he didn't have anything on Troy. He was not only making her cum back to back, but he’d taken over her mind in the process. She didn’t think it was possible for a man to be so in tuned with her body, mind, and soul.
“I want you to know what it feels like to be loved; to be treated right,” he whispered softly in her ear as he stood up and came out of his clothes.
Scarlett smiled. “What are you doing to me?”
“Nothing yet,” Troy stated as she stared at his sexy body. He was completely hair free. His abs was tight and flat as a washboard. She scanned his body further down south and his dick was hanging like he meant business. It was the prettiest dick she had ever seen. She pounced on her knees then crawled over to the edge of the bed like a lioness stalking her prey. He stood there, waiting for her to show off her skills as she started sucking and slurping his dick like it was a Cherry Icee.
Troy’s head leaned back. “Damn,” he whispered while holding the back of Scarlett’s head. She moved her hands down his shaft then down a little further to massage his balls. She massaged gently and sucked Troy into submission. He’d gotten head before, but not like this. Most of the females he fucked had a problem fitting his ten inch python into their mouth or they were gagging before he had it half way in. This was not the case for Scarlett. She was definitely giving just as good as she got.
Troy started panting and trying to warn Scarlett that he was about to cum, but she wouldn't let up. “Babe,” he called out again, but she kept going at it until he shot a load of cum into her mouth. “Damn,” he said almost dropping to his knees as she swallowed it. “Amen,” he said with a smile a mile wide from having such an adrenaline rush of pleasure.
Scarlett wiped her mouth, even though there were no traces of cum anywhere, and then she lay back on the bed and opened her legs. “Are you ready for round three?” She asked with a seductive smile.
He leaned in and kissed her passionately. “Hell yeah,” he responded, smiling from ear to ear. It wasn’t hard at all getting back right with a woman as beautiful and sexy as Scarlett was. Her heart started thumping fast as he introduced his tongue to her feet, licking her toes as if they were dipped in chocolate. Troy then pulled Scarlett to the edge of the bed and slowly entered his thickness inside her warm pussy. It was the most intense moment that he’d had with a woman in a long time.
Five pumps and Scarlett’s muscles were already squeezing Troy’s fat dick from an extreme orgasm. Gushes of warm liquid shot out, wetting up Troy like a fire hose. He was hitting her pussy so good, with deep, long strokes that had her in an orgasmic heaven. He was touching spots that she didn’t know existed before. Finally, an hour later, he was busting a nut so strong that it took everything he had not to make any noise, but the light moan he did let out couldn’t be prevented.
Damn, she got some good pussy, he immediately thought as he leaned down and softly kissed her lips.
My God, what just happened? Scarlett pondered in her thoughts. She was beyond dazed from the excitement that had just occurred. Troy was indeed the man and she meant THE MAN in every sense of the way. She smiled as neither one of them spoke a word. Troy got in bed behind her then wrapped his arms around her body. He gently kissed her on the back of the head, and then they both closed their eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning Scarlett drove to work. She was to meet Sheila there so they could straighten up a few things in the office that had arrived after the renovating of the shop was done. Scarlett had a lot of things on her mind and dealing with Sheila wasn’t one of them.
She’d stopped by Nina’s house prior to going to work and found her sleeping peacefully. Stephen was there with the kids and assured Scarlett that he wasn’t going anywhere. Even though that made her feel better, other things didn’t. She loved Luke and it hurt like hell for her to ignore the three messages that he’d sent that morning. The truth was that she hadn’t left Troy’s house and respecting him more, at the moment, was what mattered. Troy had showed her the power of love and wanted nothing more than to be in her life, but she had too many things hanging over her head that wouldn’t allow it. As she pulled up to the shop, she only could come up with one conclusion and that was to be honest with Troy about everything in hopes that he’d forgive them.
Scarlett got out of the car and waved her hand in the air as she spoke to Greg who was out in the open shop.
“Hey, what you doing out there? I didn’t know that you were coming in today.” She spoke.
“Yeah, I’ve been checking out the new machinery and tools.” He said, thinking that she was really pretty, even in a laid back pair of khakis pants with a blouse tucked inside them and a plain pair of light brown, flat bottom shoes.
“I’m just gonna head inside the shop and see what it’s looking like. The outside of the place looks great.”
“Thanks, the inside of the office looks good, too.” Greg stated.
“I’m sure,” Scarlett said then entered the office. After the incident with Mrs. Grand, she’d decided that she didn’t ever want to fuck with Greg again. She was just hoping that she could keep her job and keep things kosher while continuing to work there.
“Well, look who decided to show up.” Sheila said with a smack of her lips.
“Good Morning to you, too,” Scarlett sarcastically stated then stepped behind her desk. “It looks good in here.”
“Yeah, get a good look, because you won’t be here long.”
Scarlett looked over at her and frowned. “Who pissed in your coffee this morning?”
“Ain’t nobody pissed in my coffee, but when you find out about slick people it pisses you off. So, I’m just a little pissed off.”
“Better pissed off then pissed on,” Scarlett said, hating to knock Sheila out with a one hitter quitter, but if she kept it up then that’s what she was gonna get.
“Do you wanna tell me something?” Sheila asked, not wasting any time.
“Are you serious right now? I’m already going through some things. I don’t feel like dealing with your shady attitude this morning.”
“Oh yeah,” Sheila spoke as she sat behind her desk with her arms folded. “The baby isn’t Jay’s which means that it’s Luke’s, right?”
“I’m not doing this with you right now,” Scarlett stated then headed toward the bathroom to splash some water on her face.
Sheila stood up. “I think we need to have this talk right now.” She said. Scarlett started texting on her phone as if she was ignoring Sheila. She smiled while taking her time pressing letter by letter then sent her text. She looked at Sheila once she was finished.
“And you were saying?” She smugly stated.
“I’ve noticed that you’ve been getting close with my father, lately.” Sheila said.
“And,” Scarlett spoke with sarcasm. “I work with the man, my God.”
“That ain’t all you been doing.” Sheila added. “See, we went by the rental place to return my mom’s car and apparently the same car that you had a couple of months ago is the same car that my mama saw pulling out of the park that day.”
Scarlett just stood there and looked at her. “Do you really wanna do this?”
“Yes, I wanna do this. Are you fucking my daddy?” Sheila bluntly asked.
Scarlett grinned. “You can’t be for real right no
w.”
“This shit isn’t funny and I wanna know the truth. Are you fucking my daddy? Was that you in the hotel that day?”
“Oh my God, you really are crazy and delusional.” Scarlett played it off. “If you must know, I was at the park that day speaking with your daddy, because I had plans of quitting.”
Sheila frowned with curiosity written all over her face. “Quitting, yeah right,” she said. “There is no other job that’s gonna pay you as good as this one. Tell that lie to somebody else.”
“Well, I figured I’d quit since I couldn’t trust my own muthafuckin best friend.”
Sheila eyebrows scrunched up with a displeasured expression on her face. “What are you talking about?”
“I was talking to your father that night, because my mom had told me that you paid her two-hundred dollars to put sugar in my tank.”
