Because I Said So

Chapter Sixteen

Don't yall start with me! I can see yall asking me this shit right now: Victoria have you not learn your lesson? That's your sister?! Does it look like she fucking cares? I don't know what hurts the most, her lying to Charles about her whereabouts, or her disrespecting me. How you may ask? I told her not to get into this dangerous game because there is no happy ending to the shit. I even introduce her to Charles.

A man that put his needs to the side just to make sure she was okay! She can't handle the shit that comes with heartache. Hell, I can barely handle it! But does she listen? And yall wonder why I made this decision. Charles is a good man and he deserves a woman in his life. Not a little girl chasing after a high school fantasy.

A few weeks passed since Charles party and this time I have no pain. I'm not even thinking about the fucked-up shit Deontay and mother put me through. Have I forgiven them for that? Fuck no! But Charles, well he's been the medicine I needed all along. Every now and then, when Kandice is "working late", Charles and I have our moments together.

We don't always be fucking, but when we do its never short of amazing. We've been cooking together, going on cute dates in town, even flirting in public. By the time Kandice comes home, around 11pm, I already satisfy him, so he doesn't have to feel neglected. She doesn't have to take care of him, but I surely will. I'll be cousin Faith in this bitch.

And Charles has been loving every moment of it. He's been buying me gifts, giving me money, even flowers most the time. He really appreciates the stuff I've been doing for him too. Ironing his clothes, making breakfast, cleaning up, even handling business at the club. Like introducing him to rich ass investors so he can blossom into the big businessman I know he is. You know, the grown woman shit.

Me and Kandice haven't addressed what happen that night. She looks like a dog with her tail tucked between her legs whenever I'm around. She must be super worried that I'm gonna tell Charles. Don't worry baby sis, your secret is safe with me. Two can play this game.

Its Friday evening, and this time Kandice arrives home around 8. I can't believe she's actually coming home at a decent hour for once. Jeremy must not be around at the moment. Charles is in their bedroom getting ready for work.

I sent him a text saying don't try anything tonight. Kandice is home.

He replies back with an okay.

"Hey sis how was work" I asked sarcastically.

She glares at me before giving me a warm smile. I love irritating people.

"It was great actually. I need to have a talk with you and Charles though. Its important" she said.

Unlike her, I don't break under pressure. I know I've been fucking her man behind her back; I can honestly give a fuck less about her feelings towards the situation. But never, ever let them see you sweat in anything that you do in life. Never!

"Okay" I said and return my attention back to the tv.

15 minutes later, Charles comes out the room and kisses Kandice hello.

"How was your day baby?" he asked her.

"It was good. I need to talk to you and Vicki though" she said.

"Okay baby, what's on your mind?" he said.

I turn the tv off and focus my attention on them. I hate the way that he held her close to him and kisses her like he does me. The shit was getting under my skin.

Then to top it off, Kandice doesn't even like the shit. Her body language is like, please just stop touching me. I want Jeremy.

He must have seen me getting upset, because he decides to grab her ass in the front of me. Then he looks at me and winks. Alright Charles, imma get you back. In the worse way possible.
