FAME, FORTUNE AND SECRETS

TANGLED WEB

"I can not believe that you are paying for me to finally come to see you again", Thomas said at the other end of the phone. 

"You know I got the funds now. That song I did for that movie soundtrack and that contract deal has been finalized. Your friend is doing it out here in California. I would not have left you out of the housewarming party for my new place."

"Thanks again for inviting me, I am at the air port right now and you finally get to meet my lady."

"How is that going anyway. I feel like I have not been the best friend with contact lately."

"Its fine. I know you are all big time money now.....but she is everything that I ever wanted and needed in my life. She is intelligent, sexy and can put up with how complicated I am", Thomas said. 

"I am really happy for you and I hope you all are ready to party once you land I will see you tomorrow", I said. 

I walked into the new and fresh painted kitchen of my new home and was startled by Vince sitting in the dark. 

"What the hell are you doing in here?", I asked him. 

He dangled a key in front of me. "You gave me this remember? Who were you talking to?", he asked approaching me. 

"Just a friend from back home who will be coming to the housewarming."

"Oh so its not that lame as Allen I seen flashing across you phone."

"You know I told you that I had a boyfriend when I met you", I said to Vince. 

"Well if he is then why I am here and why do I have access to your home", Vince said walking to me and looking me into my eyes. 

"He does too Vince, all he has to do is tell me that he is here I would let him in. Please do not act like this is brand new. You know that I deal with both of you."

"You have gotten so cocky with this" Vince said sniffing. I knew he had just did a couple of lines of coke and was in one of his moods. 

"Listen Vince you need to stop this jealousy thing. I don't owe you nor him an explanation.", I said as I walked to go to the living room. 

"Oh yea?", he asked as he grabbed me strongly from behind and grabbed my neck. 

"Vince loosen up your grip you are hurting me", I said. 

"Hurting you? You don't even know what hurt is", he said as he grabbed my neck even tighter. 

"I am being serious Vince. Let me go or I will....."

"You will what? Scream? ......Hit me?...", you know I dominate you in the bed and other areas. 

"LET ME GO!", I yelled.

"So pretty please", he said grabbing me even tighter. 

I struggled to speak from his grip. "Pretty....please.....", I managed to say. 

He let go of me and I coughed a few times. "You said that last time would be the last time", I said to him remembering the first time he punched me and held me by my arms that created a bruise that is still there. 

"You need to learn how to respect me!!!", he said 

"I do respect you as much as you are supposed to be."

"If you respected me you still would not be talking to Allen. You would be with me but I see how you are. You started gaining a little fame and you want to distance yourself from me but I know your secrets. I know what you did to Wilemesha and I know of all the times you did drugs with me. You are not better than me."
