Head B*tch In Charge

Chapter 9

The next morning, Lisa woke up and noticed that the right side of the bed was empty.

“Not again.” She moaned.

“Not again what?” Derrick asked.

Lisa snapped her head around and saw Derrick standing in the door frame, shirtless

with a tray of food in his hand.

She couldn’t help but laugh. He looked at her with his eyebrows raised.

“What’s up?” He asked.

Lisa continued to laugh as she made her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

When she came back out Derrick was still standing in the same place.

“Are you going to tell me what was so hilarious or what ma?”

“Oh, yea, it’s just, I don’t see you as the type of person to deliver food to a woman in bed.”

Derrick laughed and stated, “you’d be surprised what I would and could do for a woman

who is worthy.”

“So are you implying that I am worthy of this breakfast in bed Mr. Mitchell?”

“Aye, it is what it is.”

“What does that mean?” Lisa asked as she began eating her sausage, egg and cheese toast sandwich.

“Don’t worry bout all that. Just eat your food and take it easy.”

Lisa stopped eating and looked at Derrick.

“You know, I really appreciate you for last night. I needed someone to take my mind off

of the mess that transpired yesterday.”

“It’s all G ma.”

“What made you come by here without calling though?”

“Well, runnin outta here the other day ain’t sit right wit’ me, you know what I’m sayin? So I

wanted to stop by and apologize cuz that night was, oh man!” He stated with excitement.

“Dat’s dat shit right there!”

Lisa was blushing by now, not understanding why because this is not the first time her

sex skills were acknowledged. She knows that she has a full deck of cards and therefore she

plays them well.  But, this man right here, she has no idea what to think, say or do around him.

He is her kryptonite.

“Derrick, I enjoyed the other night as well. I was totally confused the next day, but the night was perfect.”

“What? You don’t think it can get no betta than dat?”

“I mean, I don’t know if you can top that.” Lisa stated with a laugh.

“Alright. Bet. Pack a bag for the weekend cuz come Friday we outta here.”

“Wait! What? How do you know if I don’t already have plans?”

“If you do then today is Monday so you got enough time to cancel them.” He

stated as he put on his shirt and walked out the door.

A true boss indeed.

Once he left, Lisa called Bryce and told him that she was going to take the day off. After

all that went down yesterday, she needed to have some me time to process her thoughts.

She cleaned the house to keep her mind occupied, but as soon as she stepped in the shower,

her mind was flooded with thoughts about her father.

‘I can not believe he lied to me this whole time.’ ‘Is it possible that my mother knew

he was still alive?’ ‘Did he have a whole new family and treat them like he treated us?’

‘Is that why he left?’

There was no one Lisa could get the answers from except him and she couldn’t fathom

the idea of having a civilized conversation with him.

The ringing of the doorbell pulled her back into the present.

As she rushed out of the shower it was still ringing. She grabbed a robe and raced to the door.

Once she looked through the peephole, she didn’t see anybody. She opened the door

and looked around, but still didn’t see anyone. As soon as she decided to close the door,

she looked down and noticed a bouquet of flowers with a card attached.

Smiling from ear-to-ear, she picked it up and took it inside. Once inside she admired the

beauty of the flowers then opened the card. It was from Mike. She hasn’t heard

anything from him since he was kicked out of the club. She actually thought that

she would never hear from him again, but she thought wrong.

The card was pretty basic. It really didn’t do the flowers justice.

It read: ‘Lisa, we need to talk. Mike B’

Of course she didn’t care what Mike had to say so she threw away the card but kept the flowers.

She went to get dress so she could do some shopping for the weekend.
