Desire

-LOST AND FOUND-

The banging on my door was no surprise. I knew that Joseph couldn't go a second without getting me up under his wings. I shook my head and continued packing the stuff in my bags. I finished about five minutes later. Which is when I decided to open the door. They both came walking in without a word being uttered between us all.  I closed the door and locked it.

They took a seat at the small dining table. Joseph eyed me with this strange look I've never seen coming from him before. He looked like a predator about to pounce on his prey. But this energy is being covered by frustration and anger. I know he hates how I can slip through his fingers so easily. But he's lucky that I make myself easy for him to find. 

One day he may not be that lucky, especially if he doesn't get his priorities straight. I'm not gonna stay in that home knowing he has these elaborate parties to quench his thirst for sex.  I don't think I can handle the thought of another woman being with him. Shit gets me heated. I grab two cups from the bar and some ice. I poured the Johnny Walker in the shaker with ice. I shook it for a good minute. Then poured the chilled liquor into the cups. I walk over to them and place the drinks down.

I turn on the record player I had gotten today from a thrift store in the quarters. I had gotten some random record to play on it. Now was my chance to see how well it worked and how much dusting these records needed. I put the needle onto the old record and on came  sound of lightning Hoskins. I left the main area and went into my
room closing the door behind me and locking it. I took off my clothes and makeup and got into the shower. Feeling the warm water embrace by dirty body. I soaped up the rag and started to scrub my body from neck to toe. I felt the dirt wash right off my skin and soon I felt lighter than ever.

I got out of the shower and oiled my body. I put on my perfume and my clothes. I don't know why but I opted for a light pink satin dress that hugged my body in the most delicate way possible. I put on a bit of perfume and walk out of the room. I saw Joseph and his brother seated on the couch now.   All I did was take a seat at the table. I looked at the record player and practically zoned out. I didn't realize that I was so in tuned with the music and the whole ambiance of the room.

I was taken out of my mind when my phone rang. I looked at the screen to see that it was Joseph. Why is he calling me and he's right here... "Why haven't you been answering my calls." He asked me. I ignored him. Making myself a cup of tea. While the water boiled I stopped the record and changed it. "Stop ignoring me. I'm your mate." He said to me. I sigh to myself and roll my eyes.

I look through the records I had and picked one out. I place it in the record table and drop the needle on it. The song started to play and soon I was in my own little world. I know damn well I was annoying him by being so distant and silent. I don't care, he deserves it. There's no way I'm sacrificing myself for his wellbeing and getting nothing out of it but rejection.

"I've been busy taking care of important business." I said to him. He looked at me, sizing me up and down as if studying my ever being. I shift my position and walk into the next room. He gets up from the table and follows behind me. Closing the door. The only light flooding into the room was from the small window in the room. "What kind of business?" He asked me. " I don't really think I should discuss that with you. Just know that I will be leaving in the next 2 weeks or so. Prepare for my departure and please give me my space.  I don't want you following behind me, you'll be free to do what you want eternally and I'll be here as a mortal till the end of my days." I said to him before grabbing my bag of clothes.

I shoved everything into my duffle bag. "Please get your security to bring all of my stuff down and into the car. I'm gonna drive home, I'll meet you two there." I said before turning and walking out of the suite. "I thought you were missing." He said to me. "Well here I am you found what was lost." I walked down the hall and into the open elevator.
