We were finally on our way home, I was quiet. I let the window down a tad, and let the cool breeze hit my face. Preston lit one of his prerolled blunts and then passed it to me.
"You look like you need this more than me, you ight." He asked. He was so in-tuned with me.
"I'm fine." I responded as I took the blunt.
He turned on some 90s r&b as we rode. We had about another 30 mins to go, and I was sleepy. I took a few more hits of the blunt then passed it back to him. I leaned my head towards the window and closed my eyes.
"I love you Jai." He smiled and turned up the music as I nodded off.
I feel someone squeezing my thigh, and I open my eyes, "baby wake up we're home" Preston says, he was so gentle. I grab my things out of the car and walk up to the door as I wait for Preston to unlock it. I hear Preston murmur "if you had a key...." "uh uh nigga not tonight" I quickly say.
I was so ready to shower and get in bed. I didn't have enough energy to drive back to my house. We walk into the house and Preston immediately tells Alexa to play our favorite playlist. It's filled with the late 80s, 90s, and early 00s r&b. I picked up my spend the night bag out of the closet hoping I had had another clean pair of panties to put on tonight.
My emotions begin to come over me. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear Preston. "Babe, where is your mind tonight? I've asked you three times if you wanted to shower before me" he said. "Oh uh I'm sorry I just have some things on my mind, can I go ahead and shower, I'm tired and I'm ready to lay down" I asked, "yeah, imma roll up and smoke, you should be out by the time I'm finish smoking."
I smile, I kiss him on the cheek and walk towards the bathroom. I turned up the speaker in the bathroom to hear the music while showering. The shower water was scorching hot, jus how I liked it, I let the water fall onto my body. As I cried. I tried to stay as quiet as possible because if he heard me, I would have to explain why I was crying.
Why did I have to fuck Big G. I felt so damn bad that I just cheated on Preston. Which it couldn't be considered cheating because we were not in a relationship. Which made it even more confusing. Big G's dick was so fucking good though. The rush I had while fucking Jim was amazing. But I still cheated on Pres.
Every time I closed my eyes I would have a flash back of me fucking on that man. The way he caressed my body. How he softly sucked on my neck. Preston knocks on the door and I jump, "damn bae you ain't done yet?"
I roll my eyes and cut the water off, I didn't realize I was in the shower so long. I quickly dried off and lotioned up. I wrapped my towel around me grabbed my bag and opened the door.
"You happy now" I asked him, "yep" he said with a goofy ass smile. I put on a oversized T-shirt and my bonnet. I was so tired I didn't care about sleeping in any panties. I hopped in bed and prayed that Preston would simply get into bed tonight. I didn't need him trying to fuck on me tonight. I was hoping he was just as tired as me.
*alarm beeps
I snooze my alarm and look at the time, it's 6:30 am and I didn't want to get up. Preston was sound asleep and I didn't want to wake him either. I tried to slide out of bed, but Preston stops me with his arm. "Babe 5 more minutes" he says in a groggy voice. "Okay" I whisper as I rub his head. He loved that.
As I lay there I think about my life and where it could go with Preston as my man, then I begin to think about Breeze. From wack ass communication to the lack of attention or time spent together, and he has the nerve to ask can we talk. Yeah nigga, how about I just beat your ass for the waste of time and we can call it even. I snickered, I can picture myself going all the way off on him, he thinks I'm crazy now I can show him crazy.
*alarm beeps.
I turn my alarm off and pat Preston on the arm to let him know that I needed to get up. He groaned and I was finally able to get out of the bed. I quickly slipped on some leggings and walked into the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth. I don't know why I was doing all this because I was going straight home to shower again.
I pulled my hair back and threw on my black Nike hoodie and black Nike hat. I kissed Preston before I left and he assured me that he'd call as soon as he got up. Preston thought I worked at an accounting firm, and I wasn't going to tell him any different.
I looked down at my watch and I pulled into my drive way, I couldn't believe it was already 7:30. I had a briefing at 9:15 and who knows how long that will take. I hated briefing, having to update the narcotics team on any changes in the case. I tried my hardest to leave Preston out of any useful or needed information. He was moving weight but at the end of the day, that's my man.
I was positive that I wasn't going to let Preston fall for any of this that we had again Big G and his corporation. I just needed to make sure Jordan was on the same page as me. Hell Drew was Jordan's baby daddy. I'm sure she wasn't gone let him catch any heat.
I texted Jordan and asked if she could meet before the briefing.
My phone begins to vibrate, I immediate answer thinking it was Jordan.
"Hello"
"Wassup baby"
I look at the phone, "who the fuck is this" I think to myself.
"Who dis?"
"G"
My stomach immediately started to turn.
"I was calling to see if you got that plan B."
"Yeah nigga I got it and took it last night."
"What you did with the rest of the money I sent you?"
"Nothing yet, I haven't even counted it."
"Bout two bands"
"Huh"
"I gave you two bands. You wanna make two more?"
"I look at myself in the mirror, and I finish the finishing touches on my makeup."
"Sure nigga, what I gotta do."
"That's what I like to hear. Imma text you the details, and make sure you bring daddy's never mind, in trying to do this differently."
"Different?"
"Forget I said anything Jai, look just meet me at 3:00. Cool?"
"Cool."
