Shauntal

As soon as I came down from my orgasmic high. I snapped back to reality and quickly came to my senses. I jumped off the bed and began dressing while Dante stood there dumbfounded.

"Where you going?"

"I can't do this it's too soon. I just need some space and time to think about what I'm going to do. As far as I'm concerned nothing has changed and this I said pointing to the space between him and I; was just a slip up caused by our built up sexual frustration."

"So you just going to leave without returning the favor", he said signaling to his still erect pénis.

I looked at it and back at his face. Was he really serious right now? "Why don't you call your whore to take care of that", I said with an attitude.

He sucked his teeth and I could tell that really ticked him off. He stormed towards me, grabbing my wrist forcefully.

"Let me go!", I said trying to release my arm from his tight grip.

I could see the veins on his neck pulsing as he stared into my eyes. I haven't seen him like this and it was scaring me a little, but I wasn't about to let him see that. "You're playing games with me Shauntal and I'm not about that life. You won't let me explain myself and you're over here playing the single life."

"You need to hurry up and make up your fúcking mind because I'm not going to sit here and wait forever to see if you want to be in this relationship!"

"The girls are in the other room, lower your damn voice", I said freeing my hand from him. When you decided to step out on our commitment to one another you chose this lifestyle so as far as I'm concerned you can miss me with that bullshit you were just spitting."

I went downstairs grabbed my things and stormed out without another word.

I decided to drive over to Tanya's house to spend the night. But when I got there her boyfriend's car was outside so I decided against it. Instead I checked into a hotel.

When I got to the hotel lobby I handed the clerk my debit card linked to mine and Dante's account. The bald Caucasian man looked up from the computer. "Ma'am I'm sorry but your card is not going through its saying that it's inactive".

"That's not right. Let me see that card I gave you", I said rudely. That account had at least $2 million dollars on there. I verified that it was the right card and insisted that he tried it again.

"Ma'am I've tried it four times it's not working, you either give another form of payment or I am going to have to ask you to step out of the line". At this point my blood was boiling.

Some lady behind me had the nerve to say step out the line we have things to do.

"Bítch shut your monkey looking self up and keep sucking on that banana", I said referring to the banana she was eating. She inhaled deeply; she was clearly shocked by my vulgar language. I know I was out of line but I was embarrassed and furious.

I did not step out of the line as I called the customer service line on the back of the card. Apparently, Dante closed the account and transferred the funds to an unknown account and since my name was not on the account I had no say so.

I took out a hundred dollar bill and payed for the fees. I would never think that Dante would stoop so low. We always referred to the account as ours even though he was the one that worked and added funds to the account.

Either way we were married; what's mine is his and what's his' is mine. He was even the one that insisted that I didn't need to work all I needed to do was take care of his children.

I know he was fooling with me, because that's the only account I had access to. He had plenty of other accounts with millions in there, stashed away somewhere. So if not to get back at me why would he transfer the funds.

Now he was cutting me off. He wanted me to go running back into his arms begging, but it wasn't going to work. I still had a personal account with a couple thousand in there from before we got married I guess I was going to have to live off of that for now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning I decided that it was time for me to start making moves on this idea I had on making my own money. I was too dependent on Dante. And since were not on good terms right now I would look real stupid going to him for money.

I showered and dressed in a coral sheer blouse, a knee length white skirt with some 4 inch nude heels. I decided to let my hair down around my face and I finished my look off with some pink lip gloss. I looked in the mirror satisfied with myself and I headed out.

A couple streets down from our house was a restaurant that I wanted to invest in. It's called Patty's Kitchen and though the food was great the restaurant need a lot of work. The environment needed some work, the place looked shabby so they were having trouble attracting customers. I would hate to see it shut down.

I went down there and started filling out paperwork to get our plans in motion. Ms. P was a short African American woman in her mid-50s. She looked so young and her body was well built. I could tell she was a looker back in her young days. "Hi Ms. Patty how you doing?"

"I'm good dear just going through these overdue bills, If I don't get this situated the restaurant is going to shut down within a couple months", she sighed.

"That's why I'm here Ms. P.", I said with a smile. "As soon as we get this paperwork situated I can start giving you funds to pay them bills and then we can start on renovations".

"You're a blessing in disguise love. I owe you my life."

"Ma where you at", a tall man asked walking in our direction.

"Why you asking me where I am, when you clearly see me standing here?"

I couldn't help but look him up and down as he approached us. He was very attractive. He had broad shoulders and evidently a nice physique and a strong jawline. I loved a man with a strong jawline. Snap out of it Shauntal you're a married woman I said to myself. That doesn't mean I can't look though.

"Shauntal this is my son Bryant, Bryant this is Shauntal my investor."

"So you're the person bringing a smile to my mother's face, nice to meet you beautiful he said grabbing my left hand and placing a kiss on it."

I didn't know how to react I never had a man kiss my hand. I was taken aback by his fineness, my horniness, and his mother who was looking amused between the both of us.

I know he did not miss the huge rock on my wedding finger. It could not be missed, but he did not seem fazed by it at all. That alone scared me.

I needed to get a grip. "Nice to meet you too", I smiled back. His light brown eyes pierced into my brown ones and we just stood there in a trance for a moment before I looked away.

"Shauntal, Bryant takes care of all the financial aspects of the restaurant so I am going to let you guys discuss our future plans. I'll be in the back if yall need me", Ms. P said as she retreated to the backroom.

"Ok", I said afraid to be left alone in his presence.

"Let's discuss a few things before the restaurant opens in the next hour", I said finding my voice.

"Lead the way", he said pointing to a nearby table. I started making my way to the table with Bryant hot on my trail. I glanced back to find his eyes pierced on my ass. He tried to play it off by reverting his eyes to his hands but he had already been caught. I just frowned up at him and he gave me a sly wink.

What have I gotten myself into?
