An Envious Obsession

Almost doesn't count

Aaliyah

 Chapter 2

        As soon as I see the ramp that leads up to my unit lot I smile in relief. I slow down, and I speed walk the rest of the way. I take a swig of my water from my water bottle and when I reach the gate I type in the code. The gates slowly open. As soon as I hit the corner I see a grey Altima slowing down as it approaches me. When the window rolls down I notices it's the guy who stays in the building across from me.

"Good morning, enjoyed ya run?" He asks rubbing the hair on his chin.

I stop as I pant a little, and I rest my hands on my hips. "Good morning, and not really."

He just nods his head while his eyes roam all over my body.

This is the only time in a while I regret wearing something so appealing. My spandex tights, and sports bra. But it's my workout clothes, I shouldn't have to cover my entire just for men to keep their eyes to themselves.

"Is there something you wanted...because I have to go?" I ask ready to hop my funky ass in the shower.

"Yeah..I would like to invite you over to my place tonight for dinner. I'd cook you a well-balanced meal so all your hard work on keeping your body tight won’t go to waste." He says then he licks his lips.

I scoff. "How disrespectful, you know I have a man." I say walking away, heading towards my house.

"I'll see that ass later then." He yells behind me then drives off. I shake my head, finally reaching my apartment building. I walk up the stairs, and when I get to my door I immediately let myself in.

"Liyah is that you?" Jeffrey yells from the other room.

I sit my pouch down on the coffee table, and I walk towards the bathroom.

"Yeah it's me.”

I immediately start taking off my clothes. And I take a long hot shower. The hot water was soothing my aching muscles. The sharp pain in my calf’s had me damn near weak. I was thinking about canceling the plans I had later on today with Janet. My body just isn’t agreeing with me right now.

After my shower I put on my robe, my slippers, and I head into my bedroom to look for something to put on. That’s when I notice Jeffrey’s briefcase on the bed along with his cellphone.

“Where you going?” I ask as he comes out of the closet with a big black duffle bag.

“Nowhere, just going through all of my paperwork. Getting things ready for work tomorrow.”

“Oh okay.” I say as I sit on the edge of the bed, and put lotion all over my legs, arms, and my body.

“You still going out tonight?”

I shake my head no. “Nah, I might tell her some other time. My body is sore, I shouldn’t have ran those extra miles.” I say rubbing my aching calf’s.

“I know the feeling. That pain is nothing to play with. Speaking of pain, can you give me a massage, my shoulders feel funny.”

“Sure.” I say then I turn around, and I crawl across the bed and I get behind him. Then I start massaging his shoulders.
