Chapter Thirty-Seven

Aubrey

Last night with my girl was amazing. Small drinks to get us buzzed. Nudity. A few rounds of sex in random places. The pool was my favorite. No one in sight to catch us. Guards probably heard us, but it's whatever. The best part of it all was we actually talked. We communicated, and spoke nothing but honest words to each other.

We fell asleep in each other's arms but I woke up without her in bed. She better be downstairs this time. I refuse to let her go out every day. It's too dangerous.

After my morning rituals, I proceeded to go downstairs. I dapped all my boys up and flicked Gisela's ear as a form of friendly affection. She sucked her teeth and hit me, but it's all love. I asked her where Lisedi was, and she told me the kitchen.

On my quest to look for my girlfriend I couldn't believe what I saw right before my eyes. Lisedi and Diana carrying a conversation. Lisedi was calm, standing against the counter. Diana was cooking. Could they have been talking about me?

Lisedi caught my gaze, waving to me excitedly. She motioned me to come.

I played it cool and did as she said, avoiding any eye contact with Diana.

She wrapped her arms around my torso and kissed my lips, "So, guess what?"

"What?"

"I decided to stop being petty and develop a sort of friendship with Diana."

"Oh, really?" I looked at Diana.

"Yea," Diana's Colombian accent was evident, "I figured me and her didn't speak over stupidity. So, I pulled her to the side and invited her into the kitchen with me. And we talked."

"About?" I had a blank stare as I looked at her. This bitch was getting back at me for not continuing a sexual relationship with her. She knew I didn't want Lisedi knowing. She was trying to drive me crazy.

"About how I only deal with you as a boss. Completely professional. I may come off as flirty, but it's the total opposite of the truth."

"Oh," I looked back at Lisedi.

"What, you don't like us being friends?" Lisedi raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's just weird. I'm used to you being ready to stab her whenever she's in a 2 mile radius."

"Lisedi, it's okay," I could hear the smirk in Diana's voice, "I didn't know it was like him to suck the fun out of everything. I guess I know now."

I looked at her immediately. Again, intimidation. I wasn't going to allow her to hold this against me. I'm telling Lisedi before anyone can. And that's a promise.

"You wanna go out today?" Lisedi tapped my arm.

I looked back at her, "We can go wherever you want, baby," I kissed her forehead.

"Great," she smiled sweetly, "I'll go shower while you eat?"

"Yea, we can do that," I smiled back.

She giggled before pecking my lips and making her way upstairs.

I watched, poking my head out the kitchen doorway and waited till I can no longer see her.

"Are you ready for breakfast? I get off in 10 minutes, and I won't be back till tomorrow. So hurry up and make a choice," I heard Diana say.

I waited until I heard our bedroom door close. I spoke lowly as I approached her, "I'm not down here for breakfast."

"Oh? Are you here for something else?" She smirked, "Maybe we can do a little more this time. I'd love to feel you inside of me," she mouthed the last sentence.
