His Wife

Chapter 30

It has now been three whole days since Daniel had stormed away from me at our parents' home. I have tried contacting him via Whatsapp, regular call and went as far as calling his office but every means of communication I tried he ignored them all.

I open up my email and sent him a long ranting apology knowing that my stubborn crush would ignore that too. I sigh in frustration as I stared at the screen of my laptop and thought how stupid I was for playing Daniel.

I knew him too well not to know that once he made up his mind about something he was going through with it, and this time he was determined to keep me at a distance, but I however was just as determined to get my way. I click out of the email and took my seat in front of the dressing table and stare at my reflection.

I scrutinize my reflection against that of Leslie and felt a surge of jealously. I knew I was a looker and I had made a name for myself with my beauty as well as my looks but there was something about her that I would never possess and I knew it went way beyond our physical appearance. We were both a contrast through and through. I was the dark devil all wild, wicked, and wretched, while little miss was all light, level-headed and loving.

I thought of the way Dan had erupted with anger at the thought that I had taken from him what he had on so many occasions in the past given to me even when he had other conquests. He was not the happy-go-lucky, pussy craved, machoistic yet sentimental fools I often hook up with. It was like I was a moth and these assholes were my flame.

I tilted my head from side to side as I observe my reflection. I was through with my video shoot for my upcoming cover for my latest album and was still dressed in the pink long sleeve mesh body con suit with a neon-colored pink and shocking green thong and bra beneath, on my feet were 6-inch stiletto knee-high boots that zipped up at the side.

I had on an array of gold jewelry with diamond studs. My locks were piled high on my head in a raunchy ninja bun. My face boasted bright pink and green eyes shadow with a gold glittery Cleopatra swoop lining my extra-long fake lashes.

I looked intently at my reflection. My makeup girl had done wonders outlining my face to give it a leaner look with pink blush and glittery face powder and my lips were much more full under her wild design of baby pink lipstick and a generous amount of gold lip glitter.

I used a coffin-tipped nail of nude decorated with various sizes of diamond and circle shape studs to trace the outline of my jaw as I made a seductive wink to my reflection. I smile but it faltered as my mind became filled with thoughts that now ravage my mind that I had nothing to occupy my time. I had me a full 45 minutes before we would be rehearsing for my weekend act down in Negril this upcoming weekend.

I wanted to speak to Dan before I left as once my weekend stinct down at Alfred's was over I would be flying out to Florida with Kameel to do some previously booked shows and showcase my album.

I was cut up about the way we parted. I wanted Dan and me to be happy and share benefits as we use to in the past. I must admit I was shocked to know he was shackled down and even serious about it.

I know I use prior circumstances to judge his current situation and got the full brunt of his anger for it but I wanted him back. He was the one person who truly understands me. I did not want to lose him to Leslie and from his reaction, I knew I had to react fast she was not like the others and I was honestly feeling threatened by this.

Even though he had put an end to the deep intimacy we had once shared I was still able to have his time and support whenever I needed him or it, however, I felt now like a boundary was set and I wanted to rip it down.

I was caught up in these thoughts when I heard a knock on my dressing room door. I turn to see Kameel walking in all dapper in destress black tight-fitting jeans, a personalized black t-shirt with his BOMB record label insignia, a black, blue, and red Niki hightops. He looked fresh, clean, and very much desirable. His black face was cool and attractive beneath a blue peek cap.

He was hot but too arrogant. He was too self-centered for her liking even if the sex with him was great his personality repelled me. I like to be the only bitch in my circle.

"What's up?" I ask before he could come up to me.

He looks at me cheekily and said after licking his lips gripping his crotch," Dat depends."

I cut my eyes at him and hiss my teet before turning back to my reflection in the mirror. I watch him as I patted my lips with a glitter and studded fingernail.

"How well do you know Leslie?" I ask him as he moves to stand by a small side table boasting an array of liquors. He took up a glass as if about to pour himself a drink but replace it as I ask him the question.

He raises a questioning brow and a half-smile fill with curious broodings play on his lips as he stood there staring at me.

"We were neighbors growing up. Parted ways when I went to live with mi uncle in Trelawny," he finally replies. "Why?"

"So you really don't know much about the woman she has become no?". I said turning to face him.

I watch as he stares closely at me, "Just say from ever since Les was a good girl determine to make it away from her mother's wayward ways and drama-filled lifestyle."

"What yuh mean?", I asked curiosity gripping me.

He gave me a rundown on Leslie's childhood and the impact that her mother's wild ways had on Leslie and her siblings. I listen my mind running around with some nasty possibilities. I was willing to do anything to have Daniel back in my court and as I listen I play it out in my mind how wonderful it was going to have Daniel back in my bed again. It has been way too long.

"Are you in love with Leslie Keem?" I probe hoping to get something that could propel my plan into action.

He gave a little laugh and said. "Love is too strong a word, want a piece of her yes naah deny dat."

"Soh waah stop yuh?"

"Nothing naah stop mi. Yuh eva ere nothing stop mi yet?"

I laughed, this was way too easy.

"And still yuh nuh mek no link," I laugh some more. "Yuh a lose yuh flavor."

He curses a few swear words and glares at me. "Yuh a di one a lose Stella and right now e nuh even look like yuh a guh get yuh grove back."

"Wow, yuh hit below the belt hard eee," I said with a little laugh trying to hide the sting of his words, "50k for who gets their conquest before wi leave for Florida."

He stood there staring at me and for a minute I was set to believe he was going to throw the preposition I made in my face.

He laughs and shook my outstretched hand and a few minutes later when I went for rehearsal I never felt more wild and elated.
