                                           Strictly Bussiness

Devon Richardson studied Zahara as she slept. He knew the paparazzi would be waiting to blow things out of "proportion" as usual.

He then dialed one of his connections so that he could try, and clean up the mess he made when he tried to make Zahara jealous.

"Yo, listen I need you to do me a favor," he told the other person at the end of the receiver."

Gifted:

"I was about to take the next swing until some guy came out of nowhere, and grabbed me." "He even had the nerve to put me in his car, and drive off afterward."

"Last time I had seen Nakia, she was fighting Zahara's friends." "I couldn't believe what had transpired."

"In fact, I was still trying to take it all in. Her words still stuck with me." "Her telling me how they had "history" had affected me some reason."

"Was I catching feelings for him??"

"No it couldn't be I didn't even know him."

"Yet, here I was fighting someone he had "history" with.

"At that moment, I started to hate him."

I hated him for using me as a "weapon, "to make his ex-jealous.

I hated the "mixed feelings" he gave me, and the fact that I couldn't stop thinking about him no matter how "hard" I tried to erase him from my mind.

I was hurt deeply hurt, I would see to it that "both him, and ex" regretted ever involving me in their "love-hate drama."

Furious, I dialed Nakia's number to see if she okay, only to be greeted with her voice message.

"Excuse me???" I asked the driver who grabbed and placed me in his car.

"Do you mind telling me where the heck we are going??" I said in an aggravated tone.

"Matter of fact, Who are you???" I then asked him.

He remained silent.

I let out a long sigh, and let my headrest in the back seat of the car.

"I might as well enjoy the ride my life couldn't get any worse than this," I thought to myself.

I spoke a little to soon cause we winded up pulling into a parking lot only to be greeted, by "Devon Richardson," and "Zahara Thomas."

Just great" I told myself as I watched them come to the car.

"Seeing them both together meant one thing, and one thing only.

They had sex, and we're officially back together."

Anger filled me as they both approached the car.

"Yo, man what's up???"

"Look I have the girl in the car you guys need to work this thing out, and make this all go away before this shit gets crazy," he told them.

"I'll handle it" Devon reassured him.

The guy left, and in came "Devon, and Zahara."

The car filled with silence as Devon glanced at me.

I ignored his stares. He looked at me as if he was bothered by the expression on my face.

"Look," Zahara said breaking the silence

"I'm sorry about what took place earlier."

"I was very jealous, and the way I acted was uncalled for."

" Please forgive me."

"Everything that was said, was said out of "jealousy" she reassured me.

I remained silent.

Seeing that I wasn't going to budge, Devon then ushered in.

From behind his jacket, he handed me an envelope which had a large sum of the money.

"I don't know you, but I know I caused you to damage so take the money."

"I know people like you, like having money, so here it's all yours" he insisted.

I was in disbelief as I listened to his speech.

I was actually amazed that this was the same person whose lyrics had "depth, and meaning" yet, he treated me like I was less than an actual "human being."

"Are you kidding me right now???"

"So that's what I am a "business transaction??" to you I asked

"Well, yes you didn't think I did what I did in the threat because I had feelings towards you did you???"

" I mean look at her she's beautiful I had to make her jealous," he replied.

"Zahara is the love of my life," he told me.

That was my snapping point I was "cheated on," "lost my baby," now I was being told I was just a "business transaction," and a way for this "scumbag" to boost his image so he could impress his cheating ass ex.

I had enough!!!! Anger, rage, and hurt filled me at the same exact time the next thing I knew I slapped the "one and only Devon Richardson" in his face.

"Fuck you!!" I told him

"Fuck you, you're ignorant ass girlfriend, and fuck your money."

"You can take it, and shove it up to your "superficial ass " cause I don't need it" I reassured him.

"You won't have to worry about me."

"Money can't fix everything," I told him

The next thing I knew, I reached over and slapped Devon right in his pretty-boy face.

Zahara sat there with a look of disbelief on her face at the fact that I slapped "Devon Richardson."

As I started to get out, Devon started coming after me.

"Leave me to alone," I told him.

"I'm sorry," he told me

"I just wanted to fix the mess I made," he said.

I signaled for a cab driver.

"By offering me a large sum of the money wow??" I replied.

"What's your problem???" he asked.

"What's the real reason as to why your acting like this???" he asked.

My heart started racing, and "butterflies began to form in my stomach" as I heard his question.

The cab driver pulled up

"Don't worry about it?" I told him

"People like you wouldn't understand," I said.

"With you, it's "strictly business," I said as I got inside the cab, leaving a confused Devon Richardson, watching me as the cab driver pulled off...
