“Yeah me too, but things happen for a reason, ya know. Hell that relationship was over a long time before that shit happened.”
“That’s some crazy shit to hear, almost as crazy as the shit that went down between my parents.” Candy said.
“Mama told me what happened. I prayed for you and Auntie. I was sad to hear that your Daddy was gone, but we’ll never really know what your mom was going through. It seemed like she had reached her breaking point.” Dee stated as she shook her head.
“Yep, that is so true.” Candy said as she kissed MJ on the cheek.
“You know Mama and Auntie always write one another. Mama just can’t make herself come this way to see Aunt Nancy like that. She’ll rather just keep it in her head that she’s still home. Mama has a funny way of dealing with things.” Dee said.
“Well, people have to deal with things in their own way. I guess I’ve been dealing with things in my own way, as well.” Candy commented.
“I’m glad I’m here now. We can help each other continue to deal with the unexpected, because life definitely is unpredictable.” Candy stood up still holding MJ who had fallen asleep.
“Let’s get outta this house today.”
“Sounds good to me,” Dee quickly said.
“We are going to stop by Monty’s business first.”
“What business? Is he a dope boy too?” Dee asked.
“Nah and he never has been a dope boy. He owns a realty company that should be opening up for business soon.” Candy was happy to report.
“Oh, you really did get yourself a good one, huh?” Dee asked.
“It’s a job within itself making sure that he continues to be a good one, too.” Candy stated with a smile on her face.
“I feel ya on that one,” Dee said as she grabbed her red, Gucci purse.”
“How did you get here anyway?” Candy asked while grabbing her purse and MJ’s Louis Vuitton baby bag.
“Let me get those for you.” Dee took Candy’s purse and the baby bag from her. “I got here earlier than expected so I rented a Dodge Charger for a few days. One thing I didn’t forget was how to get here.”
“I see you came here on your own. That was good.”
“Well, come on, chile. I need to get out. I feel free! I’ll drive us where ever we’re going today.” Candy smiled at just the thought of having Dee around again. They walked outside to leave. Candy, holding a sleeping MJ, turned to lock the house doors behind them.
Chapter Fourteen
Monty pulled up to MiKayla’s condo. He sat in the car waiting to get out. I wonder what she could want. I hope it has nothing to do with her seeing me and Candy at Outback the other day, because I’m not about to answer to no one about my personal life. He thought and opened the car door to get out. When he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment before knocking. He eventually knocked lightly, thinking that if she didn’t hear it he’d leave right away. MiKayla opened the door up just as Monty was turning to leave.
“Hey you,” she said as she stood in the doorway.
“Hey, Miss MiKayla,” he casually spoke. “What’s up?” He asked as he turned to notice MiKayla’s new hair style. It was shaved low on one side and the other side hanging longer, falling right under her chin in a diagonal cut. It was jet black and very cute on her. She smiled, looking at him.
“I thought I heard someone at the door. Why didn’t you ring the doorbell?” She asked gesturing for him to come in.
“I don’t know what I was thinking.” Monty said, following MiKayla into the living room, watching her ass shake. “Your hair looks nice.” He complimented.
“Thanks,” MiKayla responded. She had on a short white, fitted dress that hugged her curves and hung off of her shoulders. He was enjoying the view from the back.
“Well, have a seat.” She said, sitting down on the tan suede sectional. Monty sat on the matching recliner chair continuing to watch her.
“So, what was so important that I stop by?” He asked.
“I know this was last minute and you may not have that much time, but I wanted to help you with marketing your realty company. I know you’re opening soon and I’d like to help you out since you’ve been so kind to help me.” She stated.
“Oh yeah… Well how do you plan to do that?” He asked, wondering what MiKayla had up her sleeve.
“Remember I told you that my job allowed me to transfer here.” She said.
“Yes, I remember that. So, what type of work do you do?” He asked.
“Well, I work in sales too. I now advertise for the local newspaper here. I meet with clients that own businesses and place advertisements in the paper to market their business. I also advertise any discounts, sales, and other things that my clients ask me to. So, I was thinking that I could help you with advertising your realty company in the newspaper as well. How does that sound?” She asked knowing that he’d like that idea.
Monty shook his head in agreement as he thought. This might just work between us.
“I didn’t realize that you were into marketing.” He shook his head in total agreement. “Okay, Miss MiKayla. I was actually going to get in touch with someone who could do that for me, but now I don’t have to look any further. So, you were holding out on me, huh.” He said, smiling. “I must say that any exposure is going to be great for my business. I would love for you to get started on this ASAP.”
“So, are you hiring me to get the job done?” She asked with a smile.
“Yeah, I’m hiring you for the job.” He smiled. “How much would a business advertisement cost me annually?” He asked as he sat up.
“That depends on the size.” She paused, searching through her briefcase. “Let me give you the current rates and you can tell me what you want and how you want it.” MiKayla winked at him as she continued searching. “Here it is.” She handed the paper to him.
“Well, I’ll need to look this over and get back with you. Can you stop by the office a little later this week?” He asked while standing up to leave. “I’m definitely interested.” He confirmed.
“Sure, I can.” She walked him to the door. The Monty she’d met before in her condo was really watching her as if he wanted her, but today he seemed a little different. She definitely had his full attention, but he just couldn’t show her how much. He was still digging her, but didn’t quite know how to take her knowing that she’d saw him with Candy. MiKayla kind of sensed that in him and decided to break the ice before he left her.
“By the way, my sister and I were sitting in the car watching you with your lady that day. I mean, we weren’t stalking y’all. I wasn’t even expecting to see you there, but whatever was going on was so sweet that we couldn’t help but keep watching. I could tell that she was really happy. I’ve always wished that I could have that feeling back but, that is something that’s behind me now. Anyway, I don’t want to give you the wrong impression. I would like to get to know you better, but on a platonic and professional level. I know that I kissed you the last time you were here, but I couldn’t help it. For some strange reason, you have that affect on me.”
Monty smiled knowing that he was off the hook. He thought she would lose interest after seeing him with Candy, but in reality she wanted him more. He could tell by her body language since she continued to smile at him.
“Well, I’m glad you understand my situation and I’d like to keep my personal life with my lady separate from what we are working on.” He said while standing at the front door facing her.
“I know and trust me; I won’t ask you anything that you don’t offer to tell me.” She stated and without hesitation she wrapped her arms around his neck. Monty found his hands palming her plump ass. MiKayla leaned in for another kiss and he didn’t hold back, kissing her passionately. He eased his hand under her dress and felt that she didn’t have anything on under it then rubbed between her warm thighs. He could feel how wet she was when he entered his finger inside her moist pearl. She wrapped one leg around his waist as he con
tinued to finger her. She moaned and asked him to stay for a while.
Monty made his way back to the living room sofa and he laid MiKayla down and slipped his pants off. She sat up and slid his boxers down noticing his long, thick rod. She wanted to suck it, but didn’t want him to think that she would do this the first time around. So she pulled her dress over her head and threw it on the floor. She laid back and opened wide. He was ready to fuck, because her wet pearl had him wanting to feel her slippery walls around his dick head. He watched her freshly waxed pussy as he laid on top her. He slid his dick in and stroked her like she wanted it. Her pussy was a little tight, but it was very wet. He enjoyed it as the walls gripped his dick and wouldn’t let go. She threw it on him and kept giving it to him. Back and forth they went while they fucked and kissed the entire time. Monty was really enjoying this ride. He had no clue her pussy would be this good. MiKayla held him close to her and the feeling of his dick going in and out made her climax all over him. He sped up a little then pulled out quickly as he nutted on her stomach. He was still surprised that it was so good and that he didn’t even use a condom.
Damn, what was I thinking? He asked himself as he immediately got up and began to put his clothes back on.
“Hold up,” she said. “Let me clean you up before you leave.” She walked down the hall and into the bathroom. Monty followed with his dick still hanging out because he was anxious to get out of there. She really had his attention and this made him want to stay. Strangely, it wasn’t all about the pussy, either.
MiKayla made sure that the rag was real hot as she tried to wring it out without tensing from the heat. She picked up his big boy and began to gently wipe him off. She looked into his eyes and smiled. “Damn, that was so good.” She stated.
“I must admit it. You got some good ass pussy.” He confessed with a smile causing MiKayla to grin. She knew that they had something special, but was unsure of what it really was. Whatever it was; it was good and it put a big smile on her face. She hadn’t felt that good in a long time.
“Well, I got to get outta here. I’m heading back over to the office. We’re actually in the process of furnishing the place. I would like to see you later this week. You know, to discuss the newspaper ad. The office isn’t far from here, but I’ll send you the address so you can GPS it.” Monty grinned as he began to leave. His phone beeped with an incoming message.
We’re at the office, babe. Where are you?” Candy Girl
Monty read the message and replied, but knew he had to leave ASAP.
I’m on the way. I’ve been with a client. Monty
When Monty got to the door MiKayla kissed him on his lips. He kissed her back and walked out. For some reason fucking MiKayla wasn’t like fucking his pawns. It felt personal and he couldn’t understand why. Damn, what am I getting myself into fucking with her? He asked himself as he got inside his car to leave.
MiKayla stood at the door watching him leave. She smiled while thinking about the sex that they had just had. K, could this really be the one? She asked herself as she grinned and jumped up in the air like a little kid in a candy store.

Monty pulled up to the office just as Candy and Dee were walking out. Damn, they’re leaving already. He thought then did a quick mirror check and got out of the car.
“Hey baby, why are you leaving so soon?” He asked walking up to her and giving her a hug.
“We’ve been here for about thirty-minutes now. I figured you might be gone for awhile. Dee wants to go shopping. So, we’re headed to the mall.”
Dee and Monty made eye contact. “I love your place of business. It’s very nice inside.” She commented with a smile.
“Thanks, I’m glad you like it.” He looked back at Candy. “Where is my lil man?”
“He just left with your mama. She was here speaking with Mrs. Mack when we got here.” Candy stated. “They’re both gone now. So, I’m free for a little while.”
“Oh, Okay,” he said. “I hate I missed them. I’m surprised Mama didn’t call me.” Monty stated.
“Yeah well, Mo is supposed to be on her way here to holla at Rico then, she is going to meet us at the mall.” Candy said as she pecked Monty on the lips. “Rico introduced us to Maurice. When Rico introduced Dee, Maurice couldn’t stop watching her. Rico was cool because he knows my girl will kill him if he looked at Cuz sideways.”
Monty just shook his head as he grinned. “I already see that you two are going to be a trip together. I thought you and Mona were bad.”
“Oh, Dee got Maurice’s number.”
Dee interrupted Candy. “Yeah, I think he’s very good looking.” She said smiling. “He looks like a gentleman, and I like that. It’s a big difference from that thugged out look I’m used to back home with the guys that I hang around.”
Monty smiled at her, still thinking that she was a very attractive girl, but knew that there was no way in hell that he’d stoop so low to even mess with her. So, from this point on he’d shake all thoughts out of his head about her and was hoping that she’d do the same because her eyes said more to him than they should.
“Well, I trust that Maurice will be good for you, but there are plenty of other men around here, too. So, keep your options open. Hell, you just got here, so have fun.” Monty explained.
“Oh trust me, I will Cuzn’ law.” She said breaking the ice between the two of them. She wanted to feel comfortable around him and wanted him to feel the same way around her. She began to think that she needed to shake all thoughts about him out of her mind, as well.
“Well, I’ma let y’all go. I have a few things to do around here. When I leave I’ma drop by Mama’s and pick up my lil man. I’ll be at the crib later.” He kissed Candy’s lips again.
“Okay, call me if you want me to stop and get you something to eat.” Candy said as she and Dee walked off.
“I will and y’all be careful.” No sooner than Candy could bend the corner he noticed a black Range Rover pulling up.
Could this be? He asked himself quickly. Damn, it is, he thought just as a swollen Monica got out of the Range. Candy had just missed her by seconds. Monica grabbed her D&G purse and started walking toward Monty. He stood there as if he’d saw a ghost.
“Well hello, sexy.” Monica said while waddling up to Monty gap legged. She was still just as pretty as ever and Monty was very aware of it. “If you’re not going to speak, then close your mouth before you catch flies in it.” She stated with a grin.
“Hey Monica, how are you doing these days?” He finally asked, still caught off guard by her showing up there.
“I’m doing great these days. I can’t complain. I’m sorry for the trouble that I tried to cause for you and I’m not here to start any drama with you or your lady. I’m here to see Rico.” She said not even wanting to discuss the horrible things she’d done.
“Yeah your real baby’s daddy, huh?” Monty stated as if he was asking her to make sure.
“So, I guess you do know. I’m sorry about that little incident. I should have thought about it before I stirred that trouble up for you.” She said referring to calling Candy in the hospital. I’m sorry about how things went down between us. I never meant for any of that to happen. I know you must be thinking that I’m nothing like the Monica you used to know.”
“You can say that again.” He said shaking his head. Monica dropped her head, because she was still a little embarrassed by the stunt she pulled on him.
“I’m not all bad, though. I’m just misunderstood and yes, I do crazy things at times to get my way. I’m not perfect, but I’m working on the things that are not good in my life. I hope that one day you’ll see that.” She said.
“I guess time will tell, Monica.” Monty stated. She looked over at the building.
“I like what you’ve done to the place.” She said.
“Thanks, we’ve put a lot of work into it.” He said then slowly turned to walk into the building with Monica following him. “Is Rico ex
pecting you?”
“Yeah, he knows I’m coming. He just didn’t know that it would be today.” She replied.
“How did you know that we were here?” He inquired.
“I have tabs everywhere and anything dealing with realty businesses, I’m on it. I knew when you started fixing this place up. I know about Rico taking those classes to get his realty license. I even know the lady name Toni who is doing your web designs. Trust me, I know it all.” Monica retorted.
“Well damn, I see.” Monty stated as he thought. That’s a little scary. “How long are you going to be in town?” He asked.
“I’m going to be here until after I have the baby. I’m seven and a half months pregnant now. I’m guessing a few months.” She confirmed.
Damn, I’ma have to come clean with Candy some kind of way, because she is bound to see Monica around; especially if she is going to be stopping by the office unannounced. Rico need to handle his business. Monty thought while they walked inside the building. Monica looked around.
“You really hooked this place up.” She said entering the double doors as she stood inside the lobby area. Monty wasn’t really trying to hear anything she was talking about. His mind was on Candy, because he knew the shit would eventually hit the fan. “I’m digging it. This place doesn’t even look the same as it did when I purchased it, but I knew that whoever I sold it to, or in your case, gave it to would have no problem fixing it up.” She stated wanting to get more of a view, but Monty just nodded since he was not about to literally walk her around and show her the layout.
He was noticeably uneasy about her being there. He didn’t want her to think that what she did to him and Rico was excusable by any means. She noticed the tension between the two of them and knew that Monty hadn’t forgiven her for being so mischievous, so she decided to ask for Rico. Before she could finish her thought, Rico walked out of his office. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Monica standing there with Monty.
What the hell, he quickly thought. She stared at him, wondering if she had made a huge mistake. She’d been so busy trying to rekindle a flame that was long ago put out with Monty, when all along the man she should have been pursuing was staring her in the face. Rico was surprised as they both stood there eyeing each other.
