“How many times did you cum?” Truth asked nearly out of breath.
“Three!” Goddess answered never breaking stride.
“Awe shit. That ain’t enough! I ain’t cumming til this pussy is worn out! Ya heard me?”
“Yes, daddy! Yes!”
“What am I?”
“Huh?” Goddess didn’t like to be aroused and confused at the same time.
“I’m the Truth baby! Say it!” Truth said as he pulled her hair firmly yet gently.
“You the Truth baby! You the motherfuckin’ Truth!”
“Yeah! I like that!” Truth said as he began pumping back into her harder and faster.
Goddess could barely catch her breath but she sure wasn’t going to complain. He had knocked the dust and Cobb webs off of her pussy not to mention it was the best dick she had ever had, even better than Spliff. One thing was for sure though; it felt damn good to feel love again. Truth was happy inside to have secretly sought his revenge on his ex love and to have found a better and new one. The one thing that was clear between the both of them that was never officially spoken was that he was hers and she was his and no one would stand in the way of that.
Chapter 10
Looking Stupid
11:09pm read on the clock posted on the nightstand next to Venus’ waterbed. Though pissy drunk she lie awake waiting for Goddess to walk through the door. She wondered what the hell was taking her so long since she had some action for her. She listened out for the clicking of the front door like a dog waiting on its master to come home. When she heard the clicking of the door closing, she grabbed her cell and jumped up regurgitating vomit then allowing it to slide back down her throat. She hauled ass down the stairs meeting her at the door.
“What the hell took you so long to get your ass home today?” She bellowed drunkenly as she flicked the switch to the bright hallway light.
“I was minding my business. Why does it matter anyway?” Goddess snapped rolling her eyes attempting to storm past her.
“You get back here. I need to talk to you about some shit and your little attitude is not needed.” Venus said grabbing her by the arm.
“What is it?” Goddess felt like she knew what was coming and she was prepared to serve her a good dish of the truth.
“I think Truth is cheating on me again. I need you to help me scope out his house and catch that bitch so we can stomp her ass into the ground.” Venus said tapping her repeatedly on the shoulder.
“Are you serious? What are you like 10 years old or something? Why would you want to do that, Grams?”
“Don’t worry about why I want to do it just get your ass out that door and help me.” Venus demanded snatching her arm up again.
“No!” Goddess snatched away. “I’m not going out there on that high school shit with you. You’re too old for that shit first of all and second of all what makes you think he’s cheating on you? Have you ever heard of trust?”
“Awe, fuck you and your trust.” Venus waved her off cutting off the light and dragging herself over to the sofa.
Goddess walked over to her grandmother gradually shaking her head at her near comatose state. “You know, if you weren’t such a booze hound you just might be able to have what it takes to keep your man. Think about that as you pass out in your own juices.”
“What you just say to me bitch?”
“You heard me.”
“You know, you ain’t too old to get your little ass whooped either, Goddess.”
“Ugh! I remember when I was a little girl you used to tell me that good girls minded their knickers. Well I’ve been a very good girl tonight, Grams. Very good.” Goddess emphasized as she trotted up the stairs laughing the whole way.
Venus leaned her head back on the sofa gazing up at the ceiling wanting tears to fall from her eyes that would never come. She thought about the two years she spent with Truth remembering his sultry abs and his alluring smile. It was something she never realized she could miss but she was determined not to let it get to her. She needed someone to comfort her and console her in her time of need knowing the old man wasn’t going to do since he was playing the prize husband for the rest of the week. She pulled her cell out of her pocket and dialed a number but before she could realize whom she dialed a voice was heard on the other end.
“Stop calling my phone or I’m changing my number.”
“Wait, Truth, wait. I just want to talk to you no bullshit.”
“I’m listening.”
“I…I was wrong. I’ll admit that. I just don’t like to be ignored baby you know that.” Venus whispered into the phone.
“Yeah. I know a lot of things about you V. I’m done man. We ain’t got shit else to talk about.” Truth snapped growing weary of the conversation.
“I can’t believe you just gonna throw away two years for some stupid little young bitch. I thought we were better than that.”
“No, you fucked us up and she’s not a bitch. She’s more woman than you’ll ever be. Now run and go play with that nigga that pays your bills.” Truth chuckled as he hung up the phone.
As crossed as Venus felt, she couldn’t bring herself to call him back to curse him out. She sat there shaking her leg profusely pissed at how he was treating her. He had never acted like this before not even when she played him to the left for a week to go on a cruise with the old man. It wasn’t like him and it only let her further know that he was fucking somebody else.
“This shit ain’t over. Naw, it ain’t over.” Venus snarled flaming up her cigarette.
The next morning Goddess found Venus sprawled out on the sofa snoring like nobody’s business. She was already dressed and ready to go since Truth had told her last night that he had something special planned for her. Goddess shook her head laughing silently as she dipped past her and out the door. She began walking down the street trying to get around the corner before Truth pulled up. Just as she hit the corner, Chris Brown singing Take You Down blasted out of the windows of Truth’s Cadillac. She flagged him down signaling for him to come to her and cut the music down as the bass rattled windows for miles.
“Hey girl. What you doing down here?” Truth asked as she slid in the passenger seat giving him a sweet peck on the cheek.
“Boy don’t blast that music like that in front of the house. You tryin’ to get caught or something? I came down here cause I didn’t want her to wake up and see me get in the car with you”
“G, I ain’t hidin’ from your grandma man. Its over with us and she ain’t nobody, so we ain’t about to sneaking around.” Truth spat as he pulled off dipping around the corner. “We together then we together. That’s it.”
“Babe—“
“Naw. That’s it.”
Goddess loved the way he took charge. It made her panties wet every time he laid down the law. She was still skeptical about showing their relationship out in the open in front of Venus but she wasn’t about to risk defying Truth's word. If that’s what he wanted she would give it to him tenfold. She sat back in the leather seats and relaxed as sheer happiness overcame her. Every time she was around him she felt like she was walking on air. It was a feeling she knew only few were blessed with and she was determined to do anything to keep it.
****
Venus peeled herself off the sofa looking around inspecting the damage from the night before. The door closing had awakened her wondering where Goddess was dipping off to. The words her granddaughter spat to her last night, resonated profoundly. Thoughts streamed through her brain as she dialed numbers on her phone.
“Hello, yes, I seemed to have misplaced my phone but I always have my GPS on so I was wondering if you could help me out.” Venus said grabbing her pen and a piece of paper from off of the antique wooden coffee table.
The Sprint Customer Service representative typed away at her keyboard then asked Venus to verify some identification information that she zoomed through with flying colors. Truth didn’t know that
she had obtained his information from his wallet one night while he was sleeping. She had used it so much to spy on him that she had memorized it perfectly. The rep didn’t hesitate to give her all of the information she needed.
“Alright ma’am it appears that your phone is not moving. The location that we have for it is 14455 S. Lagrange Road. It appears that you left it in Orland Park, Illinois. Do you know where that is?” She asked curiously.
“Yes. In fact I do believe I know exactly where I left it.” Venus replied sucking her teeth.
“No problem ma’am. Is there anything el—“
Venus hung up the phone cutting the representative’s speech short. She was livid with jealousy knowing that Truth had planned a romantic date with some young tramp and not her. She knew that address all too well seeing as though they had had many dates there themselves. She didn’t even bother to jump in the shower, comb her hair, or change clothes. Instead she grabbed her phone, keys and coat and headed straight for her car.
Her head pounded like the police at a felon’s front door. She regretted drinking all of that alcohol last night without eating anything and was even more pissed that she wasn’t used to the pain by now. She drove on the expressway weaving in and out of traffic like a bat out of hell not caring about any car or pedestrian that stood in her way. It was only a matter of time before he was on the move again and she wasn’t about to let him get away without busting his game first. If she was going to be miserable so was he and she’d be damned if she allowed some young chick to come in on her territory. Venus pulled into the Essence Suites parking lot erratically and parked. She slammed the door still feeling the effects of her drunken night and headed towards the office door.
“Hi. May I help you?” The seated desk attendant asked.
“Yes. I would like to catch my cheating husband in the act and I need his room number please. His name is—“
“Ah, ma’am, even if I wanted to help you out, I couldn’t. We have a strict policy on the privacy of our customers. So unless you’re the police, I’m afraid I can’t help you.” The Caucasian woman responded standing, hawking Venus down.
“Okay, I’m gonna level with you. If it was your husband wouldn’t you want someone to help you catch him in the act?” Venus put on her best sad face and ponied up the crocodile tears long enough to side eye the woman to see if she was buying any of it. "Please, from one sister to another."
“Ma’am, been there and done that. I ain’t got no sympathy for you because if you think he’s cheating honey, he’s cheating. My advice is you need to go home and wait on his ass to get there and just make sure his shit is sitting on the curb. Now if you’ll excuse me.” The woman said scratching her bob cut lightly and checking the reflection of her two-dollar bright red lipstick in the computer screen.
Infuriated, Venus headed back to her truck to wait him out. He was going to eventually have to leave and she wanted to make sure she saw him before he took off. After stirring in the car and listening to the same songs rotate the stations over and over again for four hours, Venus became impatient. She exited the car drunk on anger and began knocking on the suite doors one by one silently so as not to alert the office personnel.
“Who is it?” A voice rang out from one of the doors.
“Housekeeping. I came to make sure there were new towels in the room.” Venus disguised her voice sounding similar to an Asian woman.
“Go away!” A Caucasian man yelled in anger.
With that she headed sneaking to the next suite and to the next with no luck. She was on the verge of giving up thinking that everyone was right, she was too old to be acting like a jealous young eighteen-year-old girl. Tears began to build in her eyes and her knees became weak realizing she was making herself look stupid as she slowly to make her way back down to her car. But while she was walking, a familiar sound stopped her completely in her tracks, forcing her mouth to drop.
“You da Truth, baby! You da Truth!”
That cry of passion was all too memorable for Venus. She raced to the door with the sounds eroding from it and raised her fist ready to bang on it like nobody’s business. She lowered her head and then her arm then leaned her ear against the door. Tears shed like a waterfall as she pressed harder, distraught and unfathomably broken hearted. There was no reason for her to go out of this relationship without dignity.
Truth was the one who pursued her in the first place so for him to just drop her so easily wouldn't happen in her eyes. He desired her company in every shape, form and fashion and couldn’t get enough of it. She knew he’d be back; all she needed to do was play hard to get and he’d be begging her to take him back like that. Those young bitches didn’t have shit on her in her mind but just as she was about to walk away with her head held high, she heard him speak through his insatiable moaning .
“Goddess, you gon’ make me fall in love girl!” Truth’s outpour of desire rang throughout the suite walls.
Venus turned her head in pure disbelief not only at what she had just heard but also at the fact that someone so close to home could do something so vile to her. Her heart broke in three places as she stood there speechless and paralyzed but she couldn’t bring herself to form anymore tears. They were all dried up from the pain of rage filling up inside of her. She could have acted a fool right there but she decided that this was no time for hysterics. It was time for class. She walked calmly away hopping back in her car then pulled off and never turned back.
Chapter 11
One up on you
Goddess looked at the brand new Iphone Truth had brought for her in his name and noticed the time, 11:15pm. She was glad she didn’t have work the next day or she would have really been out of it, dragging and trying to make it through the day. As he pulled up in front of the house, she hoped that Venus was passed out in one of her drunken binges as usual and didn’t see them sitting there. Her palms grew sweaty as her thoughts went into paranoia, wondering if she was looking out the window that very moment. Her thoughts were cut short when Truth gently grabbed the bottom of her chin forcing her to turn in his direction.
“I had so much fun today babe. And thank you for the phone.” Goddess said gazing dreamingly into his eyes.
“You ain’t gotta thank me for that. You’re my baby now. You don’t deserve anything but the best. My next move is getting you off that bus and outta that house.” Truth replied stroking her hair pushing it back behind her left ear.
“Eh. Truth, you don’t think we’re moving a bit too fast with all of that?”
“Look, I’m not getting any older and I’m trying to do big things with my life. It would be nice to have a beautiful wife on my arm when I get there.” Truth responded licking his lips rather sexy like. "Maybe even some kids. I've always wanted a son."
“You want me to be your wife?” Goddess asked, watching his tongue moisten his beautiful juicy lips.
“Well, you could be. And when you are, know that you ain’t gotta worry about nothing. Cause I takes care of mine. Daddy got this.” Truth said as he leaned in softly massaging his tongue with hers.
Goddess’ mind, body, and soul melted as she stepped out into the freezing cold night air and walked up to the house door. She turned the key slightly pushing it open then turned back to wave, giving Truth the signal that she was in safely. He honked the horn twice before turning his sounds back on blast and peeling off. Goddess shrieked a bit at his departure wishing he hadn’t done that as she continued inside creeping the whole way in. It was mad dark inside showing nothing but the street lights shining through the windows. She closed the door softly then tiptoed to the staircase leaning to remove her shoes before continuing on.
“So, where have you been all day?” Venus spoke breaking the silence as she took a nice long drag of her cigarette.
“Shit! Oh my God, Grams, you scared the crap out of me. Why are you sitting in the dark?” Goddess asked holding her chest from the shock.
“You first.”<
br />
“I was…out with my friends from work. What does it matter? I’m grown, Grams. Remember your don't get in my business clause.” Goddess replied stumbling over words.
“Yeah a little too grown I reckon. But you obviously missed the rest of that memo.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” Goddess side eyed her as she flicked the hall light switch.
“It means I know your little nasty ass is fucking my man.” Venus rose to her feet crossing her arms. “And if you think I’m going down without a fight you've got another thing coming.”
“Okay. Here’s how it’s gonna go down. I’m not about to fight with you about this and you are going to take your old ass up to your room and forget about him. Got it? It’s over between you two and he’s half your old age anyway. Get it together.” Goddess snapped her fingers sternly and headed for the stairs.
“Or you can get the fuck out of my house. How about that? Meanwhile does your new man know that you have a secret looming over your head?” Venus taunted.
“Secret? What secret? You’ve really got some issues, you old bat.” Goddess laughed her off.
“Well, with all of the extra time on my hands I had enough time to do some research on the Internet. Yeah and what I found may haunt you.” Venus smiled as she picked up a piece of paper from the coffee table and handed it to her.
Goddess skimmed over the printed article reading about the death of Scully and the arrest they had made. She didn’t know how or why she had decided to fish this out from nowhere but it pissed her off. Her lips smacked together releasing a small sucking sound then curled up in displeasure. This piece of paper meant nothing to her. It didn’t prove anything nor did it link Goddess to anything. She wasn’t about to give her the benefit of the doubt of having the upper hand on her, tossing the paper to the floor in disgust and turning back towards the stairs.
