  “Thank you.”

  “You’re welcome. Get in.” He assisted her in sitting in the warm water letting the aroma of jasmine sooth her body. The bubbles relaxed her frazzled nerves. She had been expecting him to strip and join her when he removed his shirt. Instead he disappeared into the restroom only to reemerge in only some basketball shorts. The buzz and vibrations of the water further lulled her into relaxation mode causing her to close her eyes.

  Letting her imagination take on a mind its own, she enjoyed the detailed daydream of what would happen if all her dreams was to come true. If Barron proposed to her whispering all the words of love she felt in her heart, saying his own heartfelt vows instead of the typical outdated ones, and most importantly the details that would unfold on their actual honeymoon night. Sadness soon tried to overcome the elation she was feeling at the moment but she refused to let that feeling suffocate her.

  Her hormones were already out of whack, she couldn’t handle anymore emotions that much she knew. Tears would be flowing and there was no way she would be able to explain to Barron why the sudden change. Suddenly she felt hands washing her body soothingly. Successfully causing her body to become on high alert. Opening her eyes she watched as Barron concentrated on cleaning her body. Neither of them said a word as he washed every inch of her body even her most intimate areas.

  Assisting her to stand, he wrapped a large bath towel around her body. Lifting her out of the tub as if she weighed nothing, she squealed from surprise. Looking around the room Mya couldn’t help but note that Barron had been a busy boy while she relaxed in the tub. There was now oil on the night stand in a porcelain bowl, with fresh towels around as if she was at a real live massage parlor. Helping her to stand he dried off her body from top to bottom with no words exchanged. All shame had been removed from Mya as she tried to figure out what was going on with the attentiveness that Barron was showing her.

  “Lay down on your side.” He said. She did as he requested without argument. He then draped a sheet loosely across her body leaving her legs and feet out as well as her back exposed. “Now just relax.”

  Starting from her shoulders he moved his warm oil coated hands in a circular motion adding just a little pressure. Every so often he would drift lower until he reached the base of her back just above her bottom. Mya didn’t even try and resist the urge to moan gratefully just as she did when he washed her most intimate parts. He didn’t utter a word as he worked her body until it felt like limp as a noodle. If Mya thought that felt amazing she was overwhelmed with glorious sensations when he moved down to her feet.

  Adding her calves into the mix relieving any aches and pains she had from walking around all night. By the time he had completed her massage, she was sure if she was wearing panties they would have been creamed out. She was so consumed in her body’s relaxed state that she had started to doze off rather quickly. Barron covered her body with the same sheet leaving one final kiss to her temple before she relinquished her mind to the sleep that was calling her name. In her delusional state she could have sworn she heard him whisper, ‘I love you,’ but she knew that was just wishful thinking. Or was it?

  When Mya had awaken some hours later, she was actually a little confused at her whereabouts. Looking over at the alarm clock on the table she noticed she had been asleep for most of night as all the events of the night before came flooding back. She knew for a fact they didn’t return to the room until well after one in the morning. The other details came flooding back one by one remembering the soothing bath, relaxing massage, and even her imagination of him whispering words of love to her.

  With a smile of contentment on her face she adjusted herself in the bed to go to the restroom. Brushing her teeth and washing her face after she finished doing her business. She heard the hotel room door close from inside the restroom and she cursed herself for not grabbing something to put on. Tightening the sheet around her body she exited the bathroom to find Barron adjusting the food on the tray. He looked beyond sexy in his cargo shorts, t-shirt, and bare feet.

  “Good morning.” Mya greeted him.

  “Good morning beautiful.” He looked her over from head to toe slowly, it felt more like a sensual caress that had her short of breath. By the time her mind came out of the gutter she realized he was chuckling.

  “What’s so funny?”

  “I asked you a question. You zoned out on me.” He tilted his head to the side studying her thoughtfully before he continued. “What were you thinking so hard about?”

  “What did you ask me?” She asked deliberately ignoring his second question.

  “Which time? The first question or the second?”

  “The first.”

  “I asked how you slept.”

  “Oh, I slept great. I was so relaxed. Thank you again for last night or this morning rather.”

  “No problem. One question down one to go. Care to elaborate on the second question you so smoothly bypassed?”

  “What was the second question?” She stalled trying to think of an answer.

  “What were you thinking so hard about?” When she remained silent he kept going. “I have a feeling I know but I just wanted to hear you say it.”

  “You think so?”

  “Actually I know so…” Mya hadn’t realized she had moved a muscle until she was within reach of Barron. Her body had naturally gravitated to his. A shiver went down her spine when he brushed her cheek removing a tendril of her hair that was in her face. “Come sit down and eat your breakfast. Then we can go site seeing, what do you think about that?” He asked after she was settled. Mya had to snap herself out of the trance because she knew for sure he was going to kiss her. The disappointment was hard to push away but she had to remind herself that this wasn’t real.

  Their trip in Vegas was over with quicker than anticipated but it was fun none the less. Time had been on crack it seemed. It was the day of the baby shower and Barron had been working non-stop leaving all sorts of traps for his ex homeboy Davey. Naomi had even fell into a trap once or twice. He almost couldn’t wait for all of this mess to be over with. Mentally he was excited to trump these bastards for the mess they have been up to but emotionally all he wanted to do was confess to Mya how he was in love with her. Physically he was just as restrained because all he could picture was joining their bodies as one. Pouring his heart out to her while listening to her moans of pleasure.

  One thing that hadn’t changed was that they still shared the same bed every night. They went on dinner dates, movie dates, and cuddled on the couch during their nights in. During Thanksgiving they spent with their families and they gave off the impression of being the perfect couple in love. No one asked so they didn’t tell the details. Every once in a while he would see the longing in her eyes knowing she wanted more she was just too stubborn to ask for it. He was determined to let her stew on that for a while though especially with him hitting the road to attend business meetings with different sponsors as well as doing advertising shoots.

  “Alright young lady, I will see you in a couple of days.”

  “Okay, be safe.”

  “I’m gonna miss you, you know?”

  “I’m gonna miss you too. Now I gotta sleep all alone.”

  “You and Jamie can treat it like a sleep over while we are away.” Shane added his two cents.

  “Have you forgotten how horny pregnant women are? She might mistake me for Barron.” Jamie said with a shocked expression.

  “JAMIE!” Mya exclaimed turning two shades darker from embarrassment. Barron chuckled at her shocked expression. “Barron that’s not funny.”

  “Yeah it is. Especially since your body has a mind of its own when you are knocked out.” Barron confessed. “Aww its okay sweetheart, I don’t mind.”

  “Keep teasing me and I’m going to start sleeping in the guest room.” She threatened.

  “I doubt it.” He said completely sure of himself.

  “I love you sis but I’m not sleep
ing with you.” Jamie said blowing her a kiss and Mya scowled. “Plus Mr. Anderson unless you don’t want to Skype tonight I don’t see how that would have been possible?”

  “Skype does sound like fun. What do you say babe?” Barron gave Mya the sexy bedroom eyes that he knew she loves so much.

  “Bye Barron, y’all are going to miss your flight.” Mya changed the subject. She thought that would have been the end of that but she couldn’t have been further from wrong. He drew her in before she could attempt to resist even though she had no intentions on doing any such a thing. Her eyes drifted close on their own accord as he took charge of not only her lips but her senses. Moaning into his mouth was what snapped her back to reality, that and he released his hold on her.

  “I’ll hit you later tonight.” He said.

  “Alright… I…”

  “What was that?”

  “I… umm I’ll wait up for your call.” Mya smoothly changed the subject. He chuckled because he saw differently.

  “Where something sexy?” He whispered in her ear for only her to hear. “Oh and me too…” With one final kiss he stepped away completely to exit the house.

  “Huh?” Mya looked completely confused.

  “Don’t think so hard you’ll give yourself a migraine.” He chuckled leaving out the door.

  Only a select few knew what all was about to go down but he was sure when it all hit the fan and the shit started flying, his relationship with Mya would be stronger than ever. In his opinion he had finally started to date Mya, woo her, show his sentimental side, and in turn he hopes to have gained a sense of worthiness of her love. Barron was stubborn, pig-headed at times, and blind as a bat to have tried to downplay his feelings for Mya. The only reason why he doesn’t just admit his feelings to her is not only because he hasn’t heard it from her, he is trying to show her through action before his admission. Something he should have been doing from jump.

  “How is married life?” Davey asked. He had been hanging close real tough since they returned from Vegas.

  “It’s what you make of it really.”

  “Man, spending every moment with one woman for the rest of my life. You can have that.”

  “It’s not so bad. I’m gonna have to see her everyday anyway.”

  “Yeah for the baby not her per say.” Barron just nodded his head at what Davey was saying because it had been a redundant point he had been making since he took the plunge over a month ago. Honestly he couldn’t wait to pin him to the hook for the mess they pulled in the strip club that night. Other things too but that was the main thing he wanted to get him for. That was a low blow that could have had a way worst outcome than what it did. He and Naomi were thinking of themselves but neither of them thought about his sponsorships that he could have lost.

  “Have you spoken to Toby?” Barron asked.

  “Hell nah, I ain’t got nothing to say to him honestly. I can’t believe him.”

  “I would have respected him more if he would have just been honest or better yet at least tried to explain his stand point while we were in Vegas. He had ample opportunity to come clean.”

  “Right but would you have heard him out?”

  “Of course I’m not heartless. I have nothing against that lifestyle as long as no one points their bat in my direction.” Davey nodded at what Barron had to say.

  “Do you think he had something to do with trying to sabotage me at the strip club?” Barron continued to probe.

  “Well, I wasn’t even going to throw out accusations about that night. I was pissed off for you about that though. Maybe it was Tyga’s ass trying to get you back or something.”

  “I don’t think she was working alone if so. But that’s just my opinion. How would she even know you were there that night?” Thomas added.

  “I thought you and her kept in touch.” Davey said.

  “Nah, I hadn’t talked to her in about a year before all this happened.”

  “You haven’t sought her out to ask why she did it.”

  “She approached me trying to tell me something but I threatened her ass. Told her if she didn’t stay away from me I would have her ass brought up on charges. The owner of the club was livid about this turn out. He is out for blood. Once he found out it wasn’t anything to do with me and looked at his hidden camera he had in the back…”

  “Extra hidden camera?” Davey cut him off.

  “Yeah he said to cut down on the side deals and illegal activity such as having sex in the club.” Thomas said. “He called me just the other day. He wants us to meet up so we can discuss the findings on the tape. He said if we didn’t want in on the action he understood but he was calling his goon squad in on this.”

  “Umm wow… y’all got this all figured out huh?” His nervousness was almost comical.

  “Let me run to the restroom really quick.” He practically ran away from Barron and his brothers. Moving so fast he didn’t see them start to chuckle at his foolishness.

  “Damn he is dumb!” Thomas said.

  “You ain’t never lied. Family only from this point on.” Barron said leaning back looking through his phone for gifts for his new wife. They were technically in the newlywed stage still. Whether she still believed this was all a ruse really didn’t matter to him because he knew it was 100% legit in the state of Nevada and everywhere else where it could be questioned. She thought it was a sham but in actuality the guy that married them was all real.

  “We agree, this is so petty.” Shane said.

  “Alright he bought the bait, he ran and called Naomi. Let the games officially begin.”

  ~

  “What the hell are we going to do now?” Davey yelled into the phone. “The guy that owns the strip club is going to know everything in just a minute. B.A. and his nosey ass brothers are meeting with the dude when we get back.”

  “No they won’t.”

  “How can you be so sure?”

  “Because B.A. will be too busy trying to find that fat cow.”

  “What are you talking about?”

  “I hired someone to teach the little bitch a lesson. You were taking too long to come up with some results. We need to get rid of her, NOW.”

  “Man, I think we are skating on thin ice messing with B.A. on this one. He acts like he is in love with her or something.”

  “Figures you would punk out when we are almost there.”

  “I’m not punkin’ out on nothing I’m just stating the facts. According to them the owner is about to send out his goon squad because he had a hidden camera back there.”

  “That’s illegal in itself he can’t file charges on something like that.”

  “He can’t file charges of course but that means nothing to a damn GOON SQUAD. What the hell you think a GOOD SQUAD is, they ain’t the damn police.”

  “It doesn’t matter, the ball is already rolling.”

  “What the hell does that mean?”

  “I’ve already paid the down payment. The hit should be done tonight.”

  “The hit? What the hell did you do?”

  “What do you mean what did I do? We are a team remember?”

  “Oh hell no, there is no way I’m claiming to be a part of this with you.”

  “Too late you son of a bitch, we are in this together. If you even attempt to rat me out I will take you down with me. Trust.”

  “How do you figure B.A. will believe you over me?”

  “Remember his friends are the ones that have been wilding out lately. Is Toby enough of a reminder that he is skeptical on who to trust in his clique? I’m an outsider so how would I know so much about his personal life?” Davey was silent because he knew she had him there. “Exactly!”

  “So what now?”

  “Nothing because I don’t know how much more I can trust you with. Just know when I’m back in, what we had is over. I’m going to be monogamist for him since that’s what he is obviously looking for. Plus you’re too damn weak you might grow a conscience and rat us both ou
t.”

  “…” Davey remained silent and Naomi hung up. He just realized he had signed his soul over to the devil all for a piece of ass. Everything he had done up to this point he was finally starting to regret it.

  “Damn that was a long bathroom break. You straight?” B.A. asked when he walked back to the table they were chilling in at the sports bar.

  “Yeah, I just took a call from one of my hoes. Had to set up a meeting. You know how I roll.”

  “Yeah I know.” Davey could have sworn he saw B.A. give him an all too knowing smirk but he thought for sure he had to be seeing things.

  “You aight?” Shane asked him. “You look like you seen a ghost.”

  “Huh, uhh Nah. I’m cool.”

  “Excuse me, I gotta take this call real quick.” Thomas excused himself from the table.

  Davey couldn’t help the feeling that something wasn’t right. He just had a bad feeling that was nagging the hell out of him. Something bad was about to happen and he prayed he wasn’t on the receiving end. He would much rather prefer to be on the giving end. The devil must be watching him, plotting the spot where he is going to spend eternity. That was the only way he could explain the hairs on the back of his neck standing to full attention.

  “I think I’m gonna head back to the room to get some rest.” Davey conceded it was time to get out of there.

  “Aight, you sure you feeling alright. You need us to walk with you?”

  “No, I will be cool. I’ll see y’all in the morning.”

  “Okay cool. Bright and early we got business to handle.”

  “Alright, later.” Davey’s mind was so far gone to a point where he didn’t figure out he was indeed being watched until it was too late. One minute he was walking down the dark street heading back to the hotel and the next everything went black. He never knew what hit him.
