Checkmate 2: Let the Games Begin

by Tiece

  “Awww, well I bet he’s real fussy then. I’ma have to call or stop by to see him. I enjoyed his lil, fat butt when he was here and I miss him when he’s not around.” Catherine said. “He laughs so loud when I’m tickling him. It just cracks me up.” She laughed, showing her pretty, white teeth.

  “Yeah, he has the effect on me too. Well, you’ll have a baby around all the time in a little bit.” Monty said.

  “I’m glad she told you.”

  “Yep, me too and I don’t have anything to say. She knows that we’ll be here for her and the baby. Now, you can leave my son alone.” He responded with a playful grin.

  “Boy, don’t you start that shit. I’ll come get my baby whenever I want too.” She hit Monty on the head and pulled out her Newport’s.

  “Oh, you’re gonna have to stop all that smoking around your grand’s.” He teased.

  “I don’t smoke in here, chile. I smoke outside on the porch or on my balcony so don’t be trying to regulate things in this house. Don’t forget you don’t stay here anymore.” Catherine retorted.

  She was wearing a pair of tight fitted jeans and a fitted old navy T-shirt. She had her hair pulled up in a pony tail and was wearing her white Chuck Taylors. Monty smiled, because Catherine looked more like his sister than his mama.

  “Well, I’m about to go Mama. Tell Mona I will holla at her later. Y’all be safe and I will see you in a little bit.” Monty kissed Catherine on the cheek and walked out of the house to leave.

  “I’m right behind ya. Hell, I need to smoke right quick.” Catherine said.

  Monty walked in the house and smiled as he watched Candy playfully kiss MJ around his neck. He shut the door behind him and walked into the family room where they were.

  “Hey, baby.” Candy said as she held MJ up. “Get your son.” Monty laughed at the way MJ was staring at him and as soon as he reached out for him MJ laughed out loud.

  “Hey babe.” Monty said leaning in for a kiss on the lips. “Come on Daddy’s fat baby. Has Daddy’s baby been fussy today?” He asked in his baby talk, sitting next to Candy. “I got the Tylenol. Do you want me to give it to him?” He held his son and kissed on him.

  “Yeah, please go ahead and give it to him for me.” Candy got up and walked into the kitchen as she continued. “How was your day, babe? I cooked some meatloaf. It’s a recipe that I got from my mom.” She said.

  “My day was pretty good and I’m glad you cooked because I’m hungry. I figured that we weren’t going out to eat anyway since my lil man is sick.” Monty put the dropper in MJ’s mouth with the Tylenol in it and gave it to him. “See, it’s not that bad. It’s gonna make Daddy baby feel better.” MJ gushed over his baby talk.

  Candy smiled. “I’ma fix you something to eat then.”

  Monty watched her and admired her hips sticking out from underneath her tiny boy shorts. “Damn, baby… You’re looking good enough to eat in those lil shorts you got on.” Candy blushed with laughter. “I hope you’re horny, because I’m ready for some of that good loving.” He sucked in his teeth then quickly thought about his visit with MiKayla. That kiss they shared made him want to fuck.

  “I’ve definitely been thinking about you spanking this ass later.” She responded with a laugh. He clearly heard her, but was trying his best to shake the thoughts he was having about another woman. He decided to spark up a different conversation as he thought about him and Mona’s talk.

  “I stopped by the crib and spoke with my big head sister today.”

  “How did that go?” Candy asked, because she’d already spoken to Mona who had filled her in on their conversation.

  “It went well. I found out that I’m going to be an uncle soon.” He said.

  “Well, of course you know she already told me about it, but just recently. So, how do you feel about that?” Candy asked.

  “I’m cool with it. She said that she’ll still go to school and you already know that we’re gonna be here for her. Plus, as you know Rico is the father. Now, come to think about it, it’s not that surprising to me, because I know my boy.” He never likes wearing a condom, he thought quickly. “He’ll take care of his baby. So, I’m good.”

  “Well, baby I’m happy to hear that. I told her that it may not be as bad as she was thinking it would be once you found out.” Candy kissed him on the lips. “Oh, baby… By the way, My Aunt Debbie called and asked if my cousin, Dee, could stay here for a while.”

  “Who are Dee and your Aunt Debbie? Have I ever met them?” He asked as he sat MJ down in his swing.

  “I don’t believe so, because it’s been a long time since they were here. Debbie is my Mama’s half sister and Dee is her daughter. They have the same dad. I haven’t seen them since I was younger, but I can remember how we use to play a lot together when we visited or when they were in town.”

  “Oh, so they don’t live around here?” Monty asked.

  “Nah, they live in Houston, Texas now. Dee and I used to talk to each other a lot over the phone, but a couple of years ago I lost contact with her. Mama told me once that she’d heard from Debbie that Dee had gotten in this relationship with a dope dealer who was very controlling.”

  Candy handed Monty a Bud Light. “Here take a load off babe.” She said, handing him his food. “Well, I tried calling her phone one time, but she’d gotten the number changed so I didn’t worry about it. I figured she’d call me when she wanted someone to talk to.”

  “Oh, ok… Well, I think it’s nice of you to look out for her and allow her to come here and stay for a while. How long do you think she’ll stay anyway?” Monty asked as he began to eat his food. Candy sat down beside him.

  “I really don’t know. Aunt Debbie said that Dee needed to get away from Houston for a while. She really wanted her to get away from her boyfriend I believe. The way Aunt Debbie was talking was like she was scared for Dee or something. I just agreed that she should come and start over. Maybe she’ll stay if she finds that she likes it here.” Candy said.

  “Yeah, you never know. That may depend on how she feels about the boyfriend that she’s leaving behind. Either way, there is plenty room for her here.” He commented.

  “Yeah, same thing I was thinking. I’m glad she’s coming. I want you to make her feel at home and maybe introduce her to some of your partners at the office.”

  “Yeah, we’ll see. I’m no matchmaker now, but I’ll look out for her if need be.” He responded.

  “Well, that’s all I’m asking honey.” Candy leaned in and kissed Monty’s lips. “I just want her to feel at home. Being so far away from home is something that she is going to have to get use to and I just want her to be as comfortable as possible.” She said.

  “I feel ya. Well, you know I’ll be busy a lot at the office, so she’ll be good company for you.” Monty added.

  “Yeah, I can’t wait to see her. I hope she’s as cool as I can remember. I don’t know if she’s changed any, but she was a serious tomboy back in the day. I thought that Mona was tomboyish for a long time, but nothing like how Dee used to be. I was even surprised to hear that she had a boyfriend.” Candy grinned.

  “She would act that much like a guy, huh?” Monty asked as he turned up his beer.

  “Yeah, she used to walk with a pimp and all. She wore her pants big and hanging off of her butt just like a boy. I never seen her with nothing but a pony tail pulled up or a bun.” Candy laughed as she reminisced. “We use to trip so hard about her boyish ways, but she didn’t care. I hope she’s still just as fun and loving as she was back in the days. I’m just excited to see her again and I know me, her, and Mona are going to have a blast.” Candy took Monty’s empty plate and walked into the kitchen.

  “That food was good babe. You’re really picking up those cooking skills quickly.” He said.

  “Yeah, I guess I get it from my Mama. Last weekend when I went to see her, she made it her business to ask if I was cooking for you.” Candy laughed. “She always say that the w
ay to a man’s heart is good cooking.”

  Monty grinned. “And good pussy,” he responded with a big smile on his face.

  “Shut up, boy. I should’ve known that your mind would’ve been in the gutter.” They both laughed as she returned from the kitchen. “Anyways,” she said jumping back to the previous subject. “My cousin should be here Monday morning. I’m going to pick her up from the airport.”

  “Damn, that’s the day after your birthday.”

  “Yep, her Mama is ready for her to make a clean start and I’m sure she is too if she’s willing to come here. I guess the sooner the better.” She said.

  “How old is she?” Monty asked while rubbing his hand gently over MJ’s hair. He had fallen asleep some time ago and was now lying on the sofa beside them.

  “She just turned 21. Her birthday was just last week.” Candy responded.

  “Speaking of Birthday… This beautiful woman I know will be celebrating this coming Sunday. I’m thinking of something special that I can do for her. Would you by chance have any suggestions?” Candy shyly smiled shaking her ring finger and wiggling it in his face. Monty laughed out loud. “Babe, it’s too soon for that.” He said.

  “I’m messing with you, player,” she teased. “I’m just happy to have you here with us. I can’t ask for nothing more.” Monty kissed her on her sweet lips.

  “I love you, babe and please believe that I’m going to go all out for your birthday.” Candy smiled and looked in Monty’s sexy, slanted, brown eyes.

  “I can’t wait.” She responded. Monty began to kiss around Candy’s neck. She held her head back, taking it all in. He pulled her boy shorts to the side and slid his index finger inside her juice box. His dick got hard as he anticipated going in deep. He pulled her boy shorts down seeing that her smoothly shaved pearl stared him in the face. He smiled as he placed a wet kiss on it and turned her around. She willingly leaned across the arm of the recliner chair.

  “Baby wait…” Candy spoke up as she turned her head to look back at Monty. “What if MJ wakes up and catches us.”

  “What’s he gonna say, babe? He’s 3 months old not 3 years old.” He laughed, holding his big dick in his hand, gently stroking up and down his shaft. “Just turn around with this nice, fat ass and let me stroke her one time,” He demanded making Candy turn around as she giggled.

  He held his dick, teasing Candy’s sensitive g-spot. He then slid inside her and watched himself go in and out. While long stroking her pearl, Candy backed it up on him, popping her ass up and down on his dick. She continued to grip the floor and moaned softly trying not to wake MJ. Monty smiled loving that this was his good pussy and he knew just what to do to please her.

  She enjoyed the slow stroking as she felt her walls tightening around his dick head. The bottom of her feet began to feel hot. She knew this feeling all too well. Her body shook a little as she gripped the arm of the chair and moaned from the explosion she had. Monty began to speed up as he gripped her waist and before he knew it he was erupting like an intense volcano inside her. Candy slowly got up and smiled, kissing Monty on the lips.

  “Thanks babe. I needed that.” She said then walked toward the hallway going into the bathroom to wash up. “Come on while MJ is still asleep.”

  “I’m so glad he didn’t wake up or I don’t know if I could have stopped this time. Damn that was so good baby!” Monty said. He picked up Candy’s boy shorts and followed her to the bathroom so that they could shower together.

  Chapter Eleven

  Mona sat across the small, circular table for two as she looked in Rico’s handsome face. They’d just finished eating sandwiches and French fries that he’d prepared for them. She hadn’t moved in with him, but a lot of her free time was spent with him if he wasn’t in work mode. She enjoyed the close bond they shared and hoped that this feeling would last forever.

  He smiled at her realizing that she would be a part of his life from this point on and he wasn’t losing her under any other circumstances. Rico had been spending as much time as he could with her and enjoyed their first Doctor’s visit the day before. He was excited about becoming a father and wanted to show her that he’d be there for her and the baby always.

  She picked up the glass and drank her juice. “I had lots of fun last night. You sure know how to wine and dine a lady.” She said with a smile on her face.

  “Well, that’s what I’m supposed to be doing with my lady whose having my baby.” He grinned.

  “You were very excited yesterday when you saw the sonogram of our baby. You even had my doctor smiling.”

  “I think we both were excited to find out that we are having a girl.” Rico stated.

  “This makes me smile. MJ is going to have a little girl cousin to play with. Mama was just as excited when I told her. Mona said.

  Rico laughed. “My mama is more excited about this baby than I thought she’d be, but I guess I should’ve expected that. This is her first grandbaby.”

  “You meant second grandbaby.” Mona said cutting her eyes at her man as the thoughts of Monica being pregnant hit her all over again.

  “Baby, let me worry about that.” He cut. “I ain’t even sure about that whole situation, but we’ll find out in due time. Meanwhile, I’m here for you and nothing or nobody will change that or come between us. The only way that happens is if you let it.” His phone rang. He looked at the caller id, private call. He looked at Mona as she shrugged her shoulders.

  “Answer it,” she said. He picked up his cell and pressed the send key to answer.

  “Hello,” he answered staring in Mona’s eyes. There was silence on the other end. He’d been getting those calls on and off for the last week where someone would call, but wouldn’t say anything. Just as he was about to end the call…

  “Rico,” the familiar sweet sounding voice on the other end responded. “I need to see you.” His eyes widened.

  “Monica,” he spoke. “Where are you?”

  “I’m in Orlando, Florida right now, but I have some business that I need to tend to in Augusta in a couple of weeks and I would like for us to talk. I know when I left there we were on bad terms, but as time has gone by I’ve realized that I was very selfish and handled my business in all the wrong ways.” She explained.

  “Yeah, you’re right about that,” Rico retorted as Mona sat anxiously waiting to hear what Monica had had on her mind and why she waited up until now to call.

  “I can admit that I was wrong, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m having our son soon. I still have a little over two months to go and, at least, for his sake I want for us to be civilized and to get along with each other before he’s born.” Rico’s heart sped up, hearing the words, our son, but he didn’t want to seem too anxious to see her. Not only because of the way that she treated him the last time he spoke with her, but also because Mona was in the room watching his facial expressions like a hawk. He didn’t want to give her the wrong impression about choosing to be with him.

  “So what are your plans of making that happen?” Rico, not realizing it, stood up as he paced back and forth with his head slightly down as he listened.

  “I’m moving back there for a while, but only in hopes of you getting to know your son and me a little better. I’m not this bad person that you have perceived me to be, even though my actions may have showed you differently. I’m not asking for nothing more than that. I hope you give me a chance to show you who the real Monica Hunter really is.” She said.

  “Okay, I’ll go along with that. I want nothing more than to be able to be a part of his life, but you must know that I’m having a blood test done just to make sure that he’s mine.” He said.

  Mona dropped her head since the tears had formed in her eyes. It’s a boy. She thought.

  “I was planning on that anyway. I know you have your doubts and I can’t blame you. I must seem like the worst person in the world to you right now.” She said.

  “Yeah, you can say that.” He confirmed then l
ooked back and noticed Mona had walked down the hallway. “Well, hit me up when you’re here and we’ll take it from there. I gotta go.” He said.

  “Okay, Rico. Thanks for giving me a chance.” She responded.

  “Yeah,” Rico responded and ended the call. He walked halfway down the hallway, meeting Mona coming out of the bathroom. She smiled at him slightly, seeing that he was reaching out to hug her.

  “Don’t worry baby, Monica is not going to come between us.” He reassured her.

  “It’s not Monica that I’m concerned about.” Mona tried to hold in the pain that she was feeling. Even though she knew that this day would eventually come, she wasn’t expecting it this soon. She sat down on the loveseat and Rico sat next to her. “So, what did she say?”

  “Well, she said that she’s in Florida right now and that she’s coming to Augusta soon so that we can talk.” Rico looked in her eyes and could tell that she wanted the whole conversation laid out word for word.

  “I know that wasn’t all she said.” Not how you got up from the table, she thought.

  “No, it wasn’t,” He paused. “She said that she’s having a boy and that she’ll be moving here for a while so that the baby and I will have a chance to bond.” He scratched his head in thought. “Oh, she also said that she wanted me to get to know the real Monica Hunter.” He nervously said, continuing to scratch his head.

  “What the hell does she mean by that?” Mona asked considering the fact that Monica was trying to be funny. “We all know who the real Monica Hunter is. She’s a conniving bitch who’ll do any and everything to get what she wants.” Mona’s face turned red as she got upset at the thought of Rico spending time with Monica and that baby. It still puzzled her how she used to like Monica because she seemed so sweet and genuine, but only to find out that she was truly a trifling bitch who’d slept with her brother and his best friend.

  “Baby, don’t you think I know that. I haven’t forgotten who she is, but I was a part of this shit, too. She can’t take all the blame,” He acknowledged before he realized it.
