What's Done in the Dark

Chapter 11: Nicolette

Savage and I walk back into the empty house. My whole walk home was consumed with thoughts of Logan. "That man is too damn fine", I say to myself. He looked so strong and sexy standing there with no shirt on drenched in sweat with his muscles bulging. Muscles have never really been a turn on for me but I had to keep myself from licking my lips as I stared at the dragon tattoo on said muscles. The head and body of the dragon starts on his left peck and covers his shoulder. The tail is wrapped around his whole left arm all the way down to his wrist. " I wonder if the dragon symbols something", I think to myself.

Walking to my bedroom I kick my shoes off in the closet. I smile to myself thinking of the flirty smile Logan always seems to have. I always get this sudden impulse to jump in his arms and kiss him every time I see that damn smile. I wonder how it will feel to be wrapped up in his tight muscular arms. I literally see my legs wrapped around him while he holds me in a sensual kiss.

"Stop it." I scold myself as the familiar guilt comes over me for letting another man consume my thoughts. I sigh to myself, "you are going to have to quit this. These thoughts can only lead you to trouble. You are married".  I have to remind myself.

My thoughts of him almost make me forget whatever that was Tabatha and Deshawn had going on....almost. "I wonder what them two could possibly be up too", I say out-loud racking my brain of all the possible reasons.

Walking in the kitchen I'm still mulling over what they said. "He robbed somebody my ass. Deshawn ass wouldn't steal a dollar out my purse." I know Deshawn is keeping secrets, but I don't understand what Tabatha has to do with it. " I bet he's messing with someone and she knows about it", I conclude. I reach down and grab Savage's bowl to fill it up with water when I hear my phone beep. I finish filling up his bowl and set it down in front of him. I grab my phone out of my pocket and see the new text from my sister.

Nicole: Are you going over to moms and dads?

Nicolette: I want to but Deshawn is gone in the car

Nicole: 😒

Nicole: I will grab you on my way. Also, bring your flat irons. I need you to straighten my hair. 

Nicolette: 👍🏾

Nicolette: How long will you be?

Nicole: I'm changing Amaya clothes and we will be on our way after. But I will text you

Nicolette: Ok

I look down at Savage who has been watching me as if he's waiting for instructions. Reaching down I rub and scratch his head. "You want to go see granny and papa?" I ask. He cocks his head to the side as if in contemplation of my words before giving me bark.

"Ok," I say "let me get ready." I nod and walk toward my bedroom.

"So where is Deshawn?"

I'm sitting in the passenger seat next to Nicole. I changed into a maxi dress and flip flops. She just picked me up and has already started the interrogation.

I shrug looking over my shoulder at a sleeping Amaya. I can't wait to have children. "I don't know he dropped me off after Tabatha finished my hair."

"You're still talking to that thot? You should have ended that relationship after high school....among other things." She says the last part under her breath.

"She's been my friend since we were little. I know she can be a bit much but she's a great friend," I say while feeling Nicole stare burning the side of my neck.
