Because I Said So

Chapter Fourteen

I jumped off the counter quickly, tied up my robe and ran back inside my room. I changed into my purple silk pajama set and peek into the living room from the hallway. I thought Charles drunk ass was going to tell her what happen, but they were just in the living room kissing each other.

"Baby I am so sorry. Ayanna is working on my last damn nerve!" Kandice said.

"Its alright baby, I understand. Its your job" he said.

Charles is a smooth ass criminal I thought to myself. Kandice spots me in the hallway and says "Well I guess you're alive. I thought we were gonna have to call the mortician on your ass" she said chuckling.

I swallowed hard.

"Yeah here I am" I said nervously.

Charles looks at me seductively still, and Kandice doesn't notice a thing. To keep me from thinking about what happen, I turn my attention to Kandice and ask her how was work. She was telling me how Yanna stupid ass wanted elephants and camels at her wedding knowing her broke ass couldn't afford that shit. Apparently, she's having an African theme wedding.

"Well it'll suit her ugly ass. She looks like an African booty scratcher any damn ways".

Kandice and Charles both busted out laughing. I just shrugged.

"Well".

I went into the kitchen and fixed me a glass of water and told them both goodnight and headed back to my room. I closed the door and let out a sigh of relief. I cannot believe I was about to have sex with my sister's husband! Like what the fuck is wrong with me! I will not act like my damn momma! It was a one-time deal and it'll never happen again, I kept trying to coach myself. Right?

The next morning, I woke up early and decided to make breakfast for everyone. Maybe I was feeling guilty from yesterday. Maybe I wanted to run into Charles again. I peeked into the kitchen and thought that nobody was up yet. This would be a nice surprise for them. In a short while I was almost done. Just got to fry up the bacon.

I heard the front door open and close. I turn around and that's when I saw Charles. Wearing only grey basketball shorts and shoes to match. The sweat was glistening on his six-pack body, making him look like a damn snack. He had a small towel in his hand and was wiping the sweat off. Damn did he look sexy as fuck doing it. All his muscles were tone and cut like he was a sculpture hand-crafted by the lord himself.

I was too busy staring at his sexy ass, that I didn't notice my bacon was burning! Smoke filled the air and the smoke detector was going off. Kandice comes running from the back room and asks what's going on frantically. I start fanning the smoke and Charles open up the windows and the patio door. Eventually the smoke died down and the smoke detector went off.

"I am so sorry yall. I was just trying to surprise yall with breakfast" I said.

Charles chuckles.

"Well that's one way to surprise us" Kandice laughs.

Since I burnt the bacon, I cook some sausage links instead. We sat down at the breakfast table and discuss what the events were for today. Charles wanted Kandice to help him with the decorations for his birthday party at the club, but she mention that she was going to be running late tonight.

"You're joking right?" Charles asked with irritation.

"Not really Charles. Momma needs me to bring some things to her to grandma's and then I have another client I picked up. She wants to discuss package prices. I will try to be as fast as I can. I promise" Kandice pleaded.

Charles gets up and slams his dishes into the sink.

"Kandice is my fucking birthday! At least be there for me for once!"
