Love and Lies

Chapter 3 Hakeem Hakeem

For the rest of the car ride, I sat there wondering where my girl samone was. I hadn't heard from her in a week and I knew that Samone had to know something about my money. I planned on calling her as soon as I got some privacy . We pulled up in front of Hakeem's apartment building and he leaned over and gave me a long passionate kiss. Damn I missed him. He made me feel so good sometimes, He even made me feel like none of my problems ever existed.

We got out of the car and Hakeem was greeted by old man woody, which was his front desk security,
"Hello mr. Blide, a women stopped by earlier and left this for you," He handed Hakeem a yellow envelope, smiled at me and walked back to his desk.
Hakeem looked at the envelope puzzled and pressed the elevator button.

"So a women came by, I guess you haven't missed me that much,"

Hakeem ignored me and kept pressing the button. The elevator took a while and I could tell that he was uncomfortable standing there with me now that he had been put on the spot . I watched him as he looked up at the numbers as they descended to the first floor. When the elevators doors open we entered in unison . Hakeem pressed the button for the 24th floor and stepped back.
"So you have women leaving you love letters."
"Ny please ok, I'm sure this is just business."

For some reason I didn't like how i was feeling. "Get yourself together girl, you're not jealous, you don't care." I kept repeating this to myself over and over in my head. But deep down inside my heart was saying something different .

the elevator stopped on the 18th floor and the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in life stood before us..
"Going up or down," she asked.

I just stared at her round nipples poking out of her shirt and her full lips . She smelled so good. I knew perfume and i could smell flower bomb miles away.
"Damn she fine,"
i froze, noticing that I had just said that out loud. I looked down in embarrassment and Hakeem spoke up for me. He cleared his throat, "we're going up"
The woman smiled and stared at me until the elevator doors closed. Chills ran over my body. "What was that about," I thought.
We finally reached his floor.
"Before you,"he said as he extended his arm for me.
I stepped out the elevator and he followed. We walked towards his door and he fumbled for his keys. Finally finding them, he unlocked the door. I stepped into his apartment and slowly studied the place. He had new furniture and things were rearranged since the last time I had been here.

"Why are you talking like you haven't been here before baby,"
"Because the last time I was here, it was a different place. Either somebody got a raise on the job or someone hit the lotto,"
He ignored my comment like he always did when he wanted to escape the conversation. No matter how much he liked me, he didn't tell her his business or what he did for a living. And I never asked until now.
"So what is it that you do again?"
"What's with all the questions baby, let's just sit down and eat and when we're done, I'll give you a hot bath, how does that sound, he asked".
"Sounds like a plan."
He walked over to me and gave me a quick kiss on my forehead. He looked at me and just smiled while walking towards the kitchen. He grabbed two plates and started to prepare them, He placed them on the table and pointed to a chair. "
For you beautiful."
I sat down and grabbed a fork from the table. I hadn't eating in two days and i was starved. I must be was demolishing my plate because Hakeem looked up and just stared at me with the most confused face.
"slow down baby, it's more where that came from."
I stopped in embarrassment and placed the fork down ..
"How about that bath," I said, barely above a whisper.
He smiled, he pushed his chair away from the table n stood up.
"Only if you let me join baby girl"
I nodded my head in agreement and watched as he walked down the hall towards his room. As soon as I heard the water turn O I picked back up the fork and started murdering my plate. I stood up and grabbed our plates to take them to the kitchen. But I was stopped in my tracks when I spotted the yellow enveloped he received from the front desk. "Nyrie don't be nosey, keep walking," I I mumbled to herself . I sat the plates down on the counter and attempted to walk towards the room to join Hakeem but she I couldn't resist. I turned around and walked over to the envelope. I picked up nervous but still anxious to see what was inside. My eyes grew wide when I finally got the envelope open. I dropped it back on the table, stumbling to keep myself from fainting. I got myself together and ran out of the apartment as fast as I could.
