Chapter 13

Kalel called August Hello August it's Kalel from Nina's salt spa. How are you, El? I'm well. Is now a good time? Sure, what's up?

I'm running a special for the higher package client's you get to choose a month with that package, and you don't have to try another? How much extra is that? It's only $3000 since it's one day per week.

What happened to the fat white lady? Hehe, I called her first, but she hasn't responded . Unfortunately, I have to move on, but if she calls back before you respond, she gets the package deal.

Okay, I wired it. Did you get it, El?  Yes ma'am were you wanting an upgrade on your usual package? Yes, please. No problem, and it comes with a complimentary bottle on the house of your choice.

August text Cairo, what's your favorite drink? Jack. Honey? Yes.

Honey Jack, please. You get another August. Dom, please. Rose or white? Rose El.

What meal? Peter Lugar's porter house steaks well done, mashed potatoes and salad. Dessert? Junior's strawberry cheese cake. Got it now before you leave the spa Thursday you choose your meal for the next three weeks. Okay El, thank you, oh El? Yes ma'am, can you order a small red velvet cake instead of cheese cake? Someone has a birthday.

That's thoughtful, August. Thank you, El. See you Thursday, August.

August smiled she had to shop for Cairo since she was shopping with Thistle she would get him something nice. August left work and arrived downtown early she checked the jewelry stores.

She wanted to buy something nice but not too expensive and she found it. August smiled, having it wrapped special she met Thistle, who already had four dresses in her arms to try on.

Hey girl, August hugged her friend, kissing her cheek, waiting for me to hold my bag while I tried these on.

She held Thistle's bag August felt off the hair rose on the back of her neck. August held her head up inhaling closing her eyes buzzing interrupted her thought.

Thistle's phone buzzed August closed her eyes again thinking in that moment she grabbed her own purse exiting the store.

August went back to her office there she sat with a bottle of scotch and a shot glass. The guard on Cairo's payroll knocked on her door Doctor I thought you left for the day.

August sniffed salty tears I'm fine Ashley thanks for checking I'll leave now if--

You are a Doctor in our facility ma'am you have 24 hour access here if needed that's why you have your own bathroom with a shower and there is a queen air bed in your closet it was put here during covid. I can come back with blankets and sheets if needed.

Thank you Ashley. Yes ma'am and of course it's between us just lock the door and cut the light this is my wing so I won't bother you unless you call me.

Thank you Ashley. Yes ma'am. A 23 year old Ashley went straight to Cairo who walked to the bar's listening to a whispering Ashley. Old G? Yeah man I'll be back don't worry. Okay he turned over and went back to sleep.

Cairo grabbed a couple things walking with her to the cut off west wing which was the most behaved non problematic wing in the jail thanks to Cairo who stayed on it.

The inmates ignored him walking to the west wing so late at night. Ashley gave him blanket's towel's and fresh sheets come for her car keys in your break get her spare set of clothing out the back seat please. Ashley nodded is she okay Cairo?

She will be sweetheart thank you for your concern. Anything for her she's been helping me through my child abuse issues on my lunch breaks.

Cairo smiled Ashley knocked light as possible Doctor it's me Ashley coming.

Ashley walked off when August opened the door Cairo was on the other side she hugged him and broke down crying.

Cairo calmed her making her a cup of hot tea for them in the microwave. He blew up and made the queen size luxury air bed as the box called it.

He turned off all the lights except the bathroom with that the door was cracked.

After tea August went to shower Cairo joined her he didn't try sex he held her massaged soap on her making her feel good.

He dried her off and with the lotion she had in her bag he oiled her down again warming her tea trying to sober her up.

Wrapped in a sheet the two lay together cuddling what happened baby what has you this way?

You know how you know something but you don't know something Cairo? Yeah baby he rubbed her back pulling her closer tonight she sat up sipping tea she spiked with scotch when he wasn't looking I went with Thistle to try in some dresses for a wedding she's going to this weekend in Mississippi.

When I walked in I hugged her Cairo I swear the hair on my damn neck stood up something was off like the hand touching you in the dark you can feel it right baby but you can't see it.

She...she asked me to watch her bag baby right? Right and her phone was buzzing and buzzing her voice fading with the repeat of her memory.

I looked at the number recognizing it but not I closed my eyes drowning out the music of the boutique and the busy sound's of the street. It all makes sense now Cairo it really does she giggled maniacally her mascara running.

The perfume a very specific scent they stopped making it back in 87 baby the only place you can buy it now is abroad.

The number on her phone..I saw it 10 year's ago when I was in college.

Cairo? Yes bae? My husband and best friend have been sleeping together for 10 year's of our marriage.
