Costly Decisions (Book 2 of The Costly Decisions series}

CHAPTER SIX

The sexually drained pair lay in bed, fighting for oxygen as their chest heaved heavily up and down.

"Boy, you are some kind of freaky." Victoria playfully tapped his arm.

"Me? What about you? Ms. Put It on My Back Daddy." he burst out laughing.

"Shut up!" she laughed and cuddled under his arm.

"So, what are you doing today?" she asked as she glanced up at him.

"Well, I have to go to the barber today to get my line touched up then I am thinking about going into the city and checking on my other fam. Why what's up? What you got planned for today?" He questioned, as he twirled her hair in his hand.

"I don't have any plans today until six and then I have to pick up the children from daycare." she flashed a devious smirk.

"Sounds like a plan to me," he grinned back. "But before I work your ass out again, do you know where I can get a decent haircut on this god forsaken island?"

"I sure do! No one cuts hair better than Vickie's."

"Where is that at? Anywhere near here?"

Victoria burst into laughter at his slow catch on. "Baby, I am Vickie's. How did you not catch on to that?" she cracked up.

"Oh you got jokes, I see." he climbed on top of her, playfully nibbling on her neck and tickling her sides.

Tears started to spill from her eyes from the hard laughter. She hadn't laughed like that in years.

"Ok, Ok! I am sorry! Uncle! Uncle." she tapped out.

"That's what I thought," he teased as he leaned over her. "Na seriously though, do you know how to cut hair?

"Yes, I know how to cut hair. My sons haven't been to a barber in years."

"Iight, let's see what you got." he replied, as he climbed off of her and went to retrieve his clippers kit.

Fifteen minutes later, Victoria guided him to the bathroom to look at her masterpiece.

"You got skills ma. I'll give props where they are due."

While he admired himself in the mirror, Victoria stripped down to her birthday suit. When he turned around, she stood proudly in all her glory.

"What are you doing?" he snickered.

"Waiting for my payment." she replied, as she stepped into the tub.

"That's a payment I don't mind making, I'll even give you a tip." He followed suit, stripping out of his clothes and taking a condom out of his pocket.

*****

Victoria jumped out of the cab at six o' clock, on the dot. She sprinted up the stairs to the children's daycare. Gathering the kids and their belongings quickly, she began to sped walk down the block towards their house. She was trying to beat the rain that was threating to crack the grey clouds over them. Once she got them settled, she put her iPod on its dock, turned the volume all the way up and started preparing dinner.

She was in a good mood and her exuberant attitude showed it. She pulled a small pre-seasoned roast from the refrigerator, tossed it in a pot of boiling herb seasoned water. She was cutting up some carrots and potatoes on a plate when she heard DeMarcus come in. Still singing along with the music and smiling, Victoria didn't bother hiding her chipper demeanor as he walked into the dining room.
