Mariah

"So by next month I should be able to get you out of this place and home with me." I straightened my aunt's hair

The court case with my mom is working out in my favor and I should have power of attorney over my aunt very soon.

"Aw baby girl. You're so sweet." She grabbed my hand and brought me around to face her "And hardheaded." She chuckled while embracing me in a hug

"If hardheaded means saving the woman who saved me, then I'll be it." I hugged her back

"I love you."

"I love you more." I pulled away "Now let's finish this head, so you can get you some male companions before you leave." I joked

"Oh hush." She fanned me off

"I saw Mr. Billie from down the hall winking at you. You ain't slick."

"Chile' Billie got a lazy eye and he's incompetent."

"Oop. Well still, you ain't too old to get back into dating." I sprayed on the heat protector

"Eh, maybe one day. How are things with you and your new man?"

"Things are good. He's so sweet auntie. He brings me flowers at work, he calls when he misses me, he respects my schedule, we communicate-"

She interrupted "That's nice and all but how's he in bed?"

I gasped in shock "Auntie"

"What? The man got all these perks, I just wanna' know."

"Well we haven't done that yet." I talked as I straightened her hair

"Lordy" she said dramatically

"I'm just not ready for that." I nibbled on my lip, daydreaming about the night I had sex with Dorian

"What you waiting on? Jesus to come back?"

I chuckled "No, I just...I wanna' be sure he's the one before I give him all of me. You know?"

"I guess. But life is short, get you some while you still can."

I couldn't help but laugh at her "Ok." My phone rang shortly after

I took it out of my purse and answered after seeing Tyler's name on the screen "Hey baby."

"Hey gorgeous. Dinner at my place tonight?"

"Sure. What time?"

"Is 8 good?"

"8 is...great" I chuckled at my corniness

He chuckled too "Alright baby. See you tonight."

"Ok." I hung up and sat my phone on the nearby dresser

"That man sounds sexually deprived you can hear it all in his throat." Aunt Kelly said

I sucked my teeth

"Aw I'm just picking'." She fanned me off

*

"And- and soon I get to bring my aunt to live with me." I talked through kisses

After dinner Tyler was on me like white on rice. Rubbing, nibbling, and kissing all the right spots. It's clear he had his mind set on getting some tonight, and I'm about ready to give it to him.

"That's nice baby." He put his body between my legs, kissing on my neck

"Baby...Tyler." I rested my arm on his shoulder

"Hm?" He hummed against my neck

"What are you doing?"

"Tryna' make love to you." He kissed the top of my breast that were peeking out of my dress

"But you don't love me." I sighed, putting my hand to his chest to stop him

He pulled away and sat up "But I do."

"Huh?" I sat up, making sure I heard him clearly

"I love you Mariah." He held my hand

I smiled and chuckled, unsure of what to say. I'm positive I had the most dumbfound look on my face.

Dorian

Business is booming!
I done moved so much coke I had to open a new nightclub to wash all the money.
Whatever Smitty did with Isaiah worked like a charm. I'm just glad I ain't have to kill nobody to get the job done.

But business has been so great I can actually take time off to just chill with my lil girl without having to cut the time short and shit.

"Da!" Skylar cried from upstairs. She'd just woken up from her nap

I paused my video game and rushed upstairs. If I take a second too long to get her out of the crib, she'll try to get out herself. Which won't end well.

"What's wrong princess? Dada's here." I picked her up

"Ju." She wiped her eyes

"Ok, let's get you some juice." I carried her downstairs and into the kitchen

Tiara was looking around in the fridge, practically naked "Aye, you needa' put some clothes on."

All she had on was her underwear and bra.

"Oh sorry" she turned around and rushed off to her room

"Don't ever be like that, ok?" I talked to Skylar like she could understand me

She nodded and pointed to the fridge where her juice was.

"Ok, ok." I went to the refrigerator and grabbed her juice

I grabbed a fresh sippy cup out of the dish tray and rinsed it out then poured my baby her juice. I learned to water it down too after one night I gave her some juice and she didn't go to sleep until 2am. But I still don't put as much water in it as Mariah

"Mama?" Skylar questioned

"I think mama at home, stink. Let's call her and see." I pulled my phone from my pocket

I FaceTimed Mariah, partly to be nosy. But mainly because Skylar only likes FaceTime when talking on the phone. My child is bougie and it's my fault.

"Hey, everything ok?" Mariah answered. I could see that she was laying in bed

"Everything cool, Ry. She just wanted to see you." I put Sky in the camera

"Oh. Hi beautiful girl." She smiled

"Hiii." Skylar grinned "Ju Ju mommy." She showed her sippy cup

"Daddy gave you juice? Is it good?"

"Mhm!" She nodded before going back to drinking it

"I know it's probably pure sugar." She pursed her lips and looked at me

"Actually, I put some water in there." I said

She chuckled "I see you learned yo' lesson."

"Hell yeah."

"Alright. You ready for this movie?" I heard a male's voice in the back, most likely it was that nigga Tyler

"Yeah." She answered him "Put Sky in the camera." She looked back at the screen

I clenched my jaw and complied.

"Mommy's gonna' see you tomorrow. Ok? Be good for daddy."

Skylar looked at me and smiled then back at the camera and nodded.

"I love you princess." Mariah blew a kiss

"Wuh' youuu." Skylar blew a kiss back

"Alright." She hung up the phone

I mentally cursed myself thinking about her laying in his bed. Now that I think about it, she didn't have a shirt on. She was just covering herself with the blanket. They probably had just got done fucking. That shit made me mad as hell and I know it shouldn't but I couldn't help it.
Maybe if we wouldn't have had sex I wouldn't care, but she put it on me so good I can't help but want her all to myself.

"Let's go watch Princess and the Frog, mama." I picked her up

*

After about 30 minutes into the movie, Sky went back to sleep. I changed her pamper without waking her, then laid her back in the crib. I made sure the baby monitor camera was on and I carried the monitor around with me.

As much as I tried, I couldn't get the sight of Mariah laying in that nigga bed out my head.
I grumbled as I went to my room and grabbed a condom from the top drawer. Then I headed downstairs to Tiara's room.

"Yo, you sleep?" I opened the room door

She was laying in bed playing with herself. I felt my dick begin to grow in my sweats.

She smiled at me, removing her hand from between her thighs "I knew you'd come."

"Turn ova'." I pulled my sweats to my ankles and slipped the condom on my semi erect dick

I lined up with her entrance and roughly shoved inside her. I gripped her hips and began taking my anger out on her pussy.

Maybe this will make me forget Mariah.

Not Dorian feeling some typa' way

Y'all liking the story so far?
