Family Man

Chapter 5

"What Game Are You Playing?"

Kimbra hadn’t long walked into her dressing room before, Michael walked in. She glanced up at him from her chair as she stared at him in the mirror. He walked in the room smooth as a criminal and quiet as a raging lion. His eyes basically told her exactly what and how he was feeling.“So you have nothing to say?” Michael asked, as he approached her.

“What do you want me to say?” Kimbra asked removing lipstick from her lips.

Michael looked down bit into his lip as he proceeded closer to her. “Again, I ask. Do you have anything to say to me?”

“Dr. Black. You can lower your tone with me.” She stared at him in the mirror. "I haven’t seen you in weeks and what? I’m supposed to just run into your arms, as if you never left?” She snarled.

Michael was caught off guard with her smeared attitude.” Yes. I have avoided you. Just tell me are you sleeping with him?” Michael asked putting his hands in his pockets

Kimbra laughed. “Are you kidding me?” She said turning around in her chair.” I owe you an explanation, because…?”

“Because of what we share. Are you saying you don’t want that anymore? If so just tell me.” Michael stared her in the eyes.

“Steven. Exactly what game are you playing? You throw me out weeks ago. I don’t hear from you, and then you act as if...” She sighed “I don’t know what to think. What do you want from me?” She asked.

“I just want the truth. Did you sleep with him?” Michael asked again.

She exhaled sharply. “Not that it’s any of your damn business. No I haven’t.” She replied.

“You let him touch all on you because what? Was your ass itching and you couldn’t reach behind your back to scratch it?” Michael said laughing at his question.

“Ha-ha! Funny, Dr. Black. But to answer your question. I thought it was quite fitting. I was happy he did it. At least I know that you’re jealous of the goof.” She smirked.

He shook his head.” I’m not jealous.” He stuffed his hands deeper in his pockets.

“Whatever you say, Dr. Black. Where have your sexy butt been? And what’s this business you have with Jarvis. He’s bad news you should probably stay away from him.” She suggested.

“I can handle muscle head. And it’s just some things concerning…Well it’s not your concern.” Michael stated falling a little deeper for her.

“You just made it my business coming in her all macho. When will you finally decide to tell me the truth?” She asked, standing up as her hair fell from her shoulders.

“This truth you’re so desperately after. Why is it so important to you?” He asked

“Dr. Black. I want the truth only because I’ve fallen in love with you.” She pulled on his collar. “Just tell me. You can trust me. I swear and you never know how I can help you.” She said gazing into his eyes.

“You don’t have a license as a doctor. How on earth can you help me?” Michael said with a chuckle.

“I’m never going to win with you am I?” She smirked. 

“Maybe...You never know.” He laughed. Why don’t you come back to my suite? I’ll order up some steaks and wine.” He smiled

“Steaks and wine? Are we making up for your weeks away from me?” She looked up into his eyes.

“You and this making up thing. Can we just go, and we’ll see what the night brings along?’

“Ok. I’ll play along. But I tell you this. Don’t come to a gun fight without planning on unloading that big baby.” Kimbra laughed hitting his butt walking away to get her purse and then to the door. “Dr. Black. What are you waiting on? I’m hungry for this steak you tried to persuade on me.” She smirked then kissed his lips as he slowy approached her then they left the club right after.
