Love I Thought You Had My Back

Chapter 5: Secrets

Damien
Simone did what she did best on my manhood as I gritted my teeth together knowing I was about to reach my peak. Simone and I always find ourselves right in the bed and I hated that I allowed her to use me in the way that she did. All though she is the mother of my baby girl, co- parenting damn sure doesn't have to involve being intimate with her at all. Simone kissed my neck knowing my every weakness but unfortunately for her I simply wanted her gone right after, I had practice soon and I needed to get my day started. I quickly grabbed her hips and finished the job. I can't lie Simone felt so good and she knew exactly how to please me  but we were so toxic for one another and if it wasn't for her popping up at my crib last night after the club, we wouldn't even be in this situation right now. Simone and I met at UCLA she was a freshman cheerleader and I was on the basketball team ,so typical. She was one of the popular girls that you just could't resist. She was short, athletic build with an hourglass shape that was pleasant to the eyes. We met at the end of the season banquet and after one frat party we hooked up and she ended up pregnant. I found it crazy how after just one night I really had someone pregnant but they say it only takes one time. I liked Simone, she was cool as hell but I didn't want to necessarily date her, I barely knew the chick. Once Milani was born we decided to make things work for the sake of our beautiful baby but Simone's true colors started showing as soon as I got into the league. She was just another thirsty groupie but she also birthed my child and I was forever stuck.

"Dame, why don't you ever want to just chill with me, all we do is have sex and Im out the door" This was a regular conversation we had very often. I knew Simone was only using me for my money and as far as I was concerned, if it didnt pertain to Milani we had nothing to discuss. "you love asking questions you already know the answers to" "Just go get my baby so we can get this weekend started. Simone placed her clothes back on and called me every name out the book as she headed for the door. Once she left I hopped in the shower, Letting the water run on my still sore body from workouts through the week, thoughts of my night crossed my mind. I wondered if that girl from the club was okay. I left my section with my dawg Omar at Queen of Diamonds and saw someone laying on the floor in one of the rooms. As I glanced inside I realized it was a female and I quickly went to her side leaving O standing on his phone to check on her. She laid there with her shirt hanging off and it almost looked like she was in a fight. Lightly shaking her I asked was she good , In these situations you just panic and I was simply a bystander. The girls body jumped as if she were scared, She looked at me and I instantly saw her fresh busted lip and black eye. Beyond her injuries I could tell she was beautiful. She looked me in the eyes and looked so helpless. " I want to go home" she cried out softly. I knew something was wrong ,I felt so bad for shorty. I called out to Omar who was waiting for me outside the room. "Aye O meet me back at the spot I gotta handle something" Omar looked confused and questioned whether I was good or not and I gave him the okay to head out. I asked the girl her name and I swear she said Lei but I didnt make  her repeat herself. She asked me to grab her things and I did just that and carried her to my Cayenne outside. Lei didn't say a word , I checked her ID to get her address which wasn't far. I peeped her name was Leila , I guess I heard right. We rode through the quiet city to her spot as Bryson Tiller's Set it off  played through my speakers. Leila laid across the back of my truck holding her head with her eyes closed, "You sure you don't want to go to the hospital " she shook her head no and I didnt bother her anymore. It was now 2:30 in the morning and we were at what looked like a decent neighborhood. I parked my truck in what Im assuming was her driveway and helped her out my truck. I carried her inside just as I did out the club . The hard part was that she had a thumb print to unlock her door. I had never seen anything like it but I did know I needed her finger. She wasn't the heaviest but she damn sure wasn't the lightest, multitasking she somewhat helped me unlock the door and I went straight to the couch. Placing her down gently I went to grab her belongings out the truck. My phone rang and it. Was O. "Aye you good fam, What was all that at the club he questioned. I told him I saw someone I knew and didn't want to hold him up. Making an excuse to get off the phone I hung up and continued to grab Lei's bag. I couldn't help but noticed a 9MM stuffed in the side which caught me by suprise but Im sure a young woman like her only had it for general protection but it wasn't my business anyways. As I continued to walk inside the beautiful townhome  I took in the grey walls that did not contain any family pictures but nice wall paintings that were soothing to the eye. Lei had fallen asleep and I had no business here really at this point, I did what I had to do. Tonight was very odd but for some reason I wanted to be here for this unknown girl. My eyes getting heavy I glanced down at a sleeping Lei who looked like she had a rough night , Despite her slightly injured face she was gorgeous. Her body in this silk blue dress she wore hugged every curve on her caramel skin. I know this was not the moment to be feeling this way or the time but I wanted to know so much about this girl and why she was in this situation. I felt like an intruder and I was now watching someone in their sleep.
On my way out I decided to leave a note for her to see in the morning. Hopefully I will see her again but until then I needed to get home. I had a long day tomorrow . Turning the shower off I grabbed my towel and got out. We had pre season practice. I played for Dallas Storm , something I never thought I would actually be doing. Being in the league had it's perks, being able to care for my people and my little girl but fame was not all that it was hyped up to be and it came with leeches like Simone. I grabbed my phone and text O and a few of the guys, I made sure they were good and headed for the kitchen.

Omar
Queen of Diamonds was jumping and I was on my last leg. Dame, Vonte and Rah and I were celebrating what we called "More life" Business was booming these days and my guys were all successful. I shot a quick "you up?" Text before we headed out the section. Almost stepping on the back of Dame's all white Ones, he had stopped in front of me and was now walking into some random room. My phone Vibrated , I checked the home screen "Yes daddy come on" and a slight smirk appeared but instantly ended when Dame called out to let me know he had to handle something. What the f*ck did he have to handle in some random room. I made sure he was good and dapped up the guys who were waiting down the hall. I had to handle some business of my own and I was out quicker than I came In.

Simone
The night was young, I sat in my clawfoot tub easing my mind. It was my night off from the club and Milani was with her grandparents, I thought of my life and wondered if Dame and I would ever be a couple. I see the way he looks at me and loves Milani, I know he will give in eventually so that we can be a family and I can't wait. My phone chimed outside the tub , I was hoping it was Dame checking on me but when I reached my hand out to look at the screen I rolled my eyes and continued soaking. Why did he make things so complicated, and the more we kept this thing going the deeper this sh*t would get. Frustration filled my thoughts and I couldn't keep ignoring him because he kept and knew my...well our big secret so I continued playing his little game and giving him sex whenever he wanted. Getting out of the tub letting the water from my body drip on the linoleum , I grabbed my phone and replied "Yes daddy come on" we needed to make this quick because I had plans of spending my night with Dame.
