A City Girl and a Country Bumpkin

No Time For Games

Chapter 13

Cashmere

I wasn't really feeling up to rehearsing, not after the night I had. I was wondering who could have taken Semaj and would hold him for ransom. I needed to figure this shit out and  now before whoever was holding him did some real fucked up shit to him.Then it hit me, somebody was doing this because of what happened to Deuce.  Deuce has been down and out for a minute. And someone is trying to find out the truth of what  happened the day he was put in the hospital. 

I knew I had to find a way to get up the money to pay these people. Where would I began to look for 50,000 dollars from.  I thought long and hella hard because I couldn't let my man go out like that. I was on my computer searching the web when I get a email from a Devante, an ex boyfriend of mine. I couldn't allow him to be a distraction to all I had going on already so I just ignored the email.

I looked at the time on the computer and it was 9:42 am. I had a while before Pierre would be expecting me. I don't know what the hell I was doing up so early but that's neither here nor there. My cell phone began ringing and I could only guess who it was. I was not in the mood to talk to anyone right now. I look at the phone and it was Devante.

What the hell was he calling me for. I answered the phone irritated. "Hello." I don't know why I hadn't changed my number after all these years. "What's up baby girl, it's been awhile." He said. "Devante what do want?" I said. "I miss you girl, don't act like you don't miss me too cause I know damn well you do." He said. Devante is a guy I met 8 months before my dad died. I broke the relationship off because he was very possessive, wanted me up under him all the damn time.

I couldn't handle all that, not with everything else I had going on in my life already. My dad dying hit me harder than ever. He was my dad but also a friend. I could tell him whatever and I could count on him to not tell nobody. I really miss my father and wish he was here right now. "Please Devante, that was a year ago, do you really think I would stay stuck on stupid for that damn long."

He let out a deep sigh as though my words stung. And that was the plan. I needed him to feel every bit of pain and distress he had put me through. "Open the door." He said. Omg what the fuck is he doing outside my door, how the fuck did he get my address. "Wait, what?" Then I heard A slight knock on the door. I ran to the door to look through the peephole.

I'd be damned if his ass wasn't standing out there smiling hard as hell. My heart began palpitating.  Fuck.  I had on some black leggings,  a white tube top, and some black Classic Reebok's. I opened the door and I was very satisfied with what I saw. I folded my arms across my chest and asked, "Can I help you with something cause obviously there's something here you want." I said admiring his buff shoulders. I waited for a response. When he got through gawking at how much my breast had grown over the time he hadn't seen me, he finally said, "I miss you baby girl."

I was not expecting to see Devante today but I had to admit, standing here talking to him had me recalling the sex that we use to have. He was so rough and aggressive, and I can't say that I didn't enjoy it because I did. But that isn't where my mind should be right now, I need to be focused on what to do about the situation I was in, getting the money to hopefully be able to see Semaj again.

"Look Devante, things are different now. We haven't been together in close to a year. I'm pretty sure you were with someone else during that time, and here you are at my damn doorstep wanting me to drop everything I've built with some... Our lip connected and it was magical. He kissed me so good that I almost forgot about the rehearsal I needed to be getting ready for.

It was now 10:25 and I needed an hour and a half to get ready. I ended the kiss when I noticed Rhonda the next door neighbor coming. "You gotta go, I'll call you." I rushed him off. "Hey girl, what up." I said to Rhonda hoping she didn't see me kissing someone other than Semaj. "Hey just getting home from the gym, I really need a shower." She said. I laughed a little. "Well maybe I can come over a little later so we can chat a bit." I said. "Only if you start with the fine ass guy I just saw leave here." She said smiling while walking into her apartment.
