Savage

Chapter 40: Inhale then Breathe

A few weeks later...

"He's got five children. Two boys who are identical twins. They are gorgeous! I'm going to have to beat those savage girls off of them when they get older - and 3 girls- sweet as honey. Rohit is already so protective of them."

"You know he won't stop watching her ass, just look at him, he makes it so obvious that he's turned on right now. Can't stand the perv, and I don't even know how Saliha stomachs him." Veronica rolls her eyes as she says this. "I still can't believe you lost your virginity to my brother," she admonishes while hitting my upper arm.

"It's just ...ew! ...But I guess it's better than a nameless asshole." Sending me a mischievous wink.

"Hey, don't blame me that your brother is handsome. I was weak, and he was naked... in his room...after his shower...while I was heading to your room. It's your fault for not being there." I protested, turning around to walk straight into Ronnie's open arms. I missed her. "I miss you, babe."

"Awe, babe. I miss you too! But I told you to head straight up to my room while I went out to get the ice cream for our DVD binge! But no! You couldn't hold your horny head straight. You had to fuck my brother, and you knew he was a pig back then. Now he's Saliha's bitch and doesn't hide the evidence of his arousal. I think he wants to have a football team with her."

I laughed. "It's like every time she gets pregnant she looks sexier. Her ass is huge! Can she share? I'd love to have a little extra." I begin rubbing my ass and twisting around to see if I can find it.

"You're fine. Stop doing that. If Roman wasn't complaining, then why are you? Did you know they met at uni in South Africa, and he wouldn't stop telling Dad that he had to have some girl he saw walking across the quad."

"Awe love at first bite. ...If Roman was complaining, then why would I waste my time with his ungrateful ass."

"You got it. ...He had to marry her, he said and he didn't even know her yet. He called her his Nubian queen. He kept repeating to Mum that Saliha had the most breathtaking skin he had ever seen."

"She does," I added, looking over at her helping the other aunties with the floral arrangements.

"She does. Her skin is flawless. The depths of her dark chocolate skin and how cool it still blows my mind. That afro is everything too," Ronnie adds. "I hope I am not rubbing it in mentioning Roman. Is it too soon?"

"No, it's fine," I lied.

Ronnie paused what she was doing and stared at me. "Obviously, not, if you're telling me that big, fat lie." She moved something. "Coming back from Monaco in haste and locking yourself in your apartment for two whole weeks and not letting me know you were home is not the definition of fine to me. Plus walking around here acting like all is well. Of course, you're fine. Don't let me add that if Roman wasn't on his manhunt to track you down I wouldn't have known you were in Toronto, much less Canada for that matter. Of course, I believe you when you say you're fine!"

Waving the flower arrangements she had in the air. Making a mess. The petals went flying as she exaggerated everything. I sighed. Ronnie with the dramatics. She was angry all over again.

"Babe, I know you're not fine after what you've told me," she said softly, after being dramatic a minute ago. "I am sorry if I am coming on a bit strong, but if you're hurt, I'm hurt too. What he did was downright fuckery."

"Lying to me about his son. Fucking other women with his brother, then lying about being a twin. Ekkehard. The actual man in charge of the company, where he fired me from." I paused. Reality setting in. "He fired me. Is that even legal?!" My rage flared more than I wanted it to. "Who does shit like that?"
