Joe's POV

After everything went down with my ex, and after she left, I had to check on Ammika. She was in the shower, I could hear the water running. I go into the bathroom and take off my clothes. I get in and walk over to her.

"Are you okay?" I take her hand, interrupting her shower.

She turns around to face me, " You know she still loves you, right?" She says

"I know she does but-."

She cuts me off, "How can I compete with someone you were with for that long?"

"You can't, but there is no competition." I hold her face, "I told you, that's done. I don't love her anymore. I want you. I promise, there's nothing for you to worry about..."

She puts her hands on mine, "Okay, but—."

"No, buts. I said I want you, and that's the end of it."

"She's the mother of your kids-."

"But I want you, Ammika." I say trying to make her understand.

"Oh yeah, you want me after two seconds of seeing me. Please." She says waving me off.

If she only knew how unwillingly invested I was, she wouldn't be talking like this. She literally came out of nowhere. I wasn't looking to get into anything, this just happened. I think she likes me more than she's admitting, and I'm okay with that. I like her more than I will admit too. I think she's just freaking out because the image of my ex wife was imaginary, and now that's she's actually seen her, she's backing out. No, I wasn't expecting her to meet her this soon either. This definitely caught me by surprise, but we can work around this. I just need for her to understand me.

"I don't know how to prove to you that I want you."

"I don't know either. This is too much."She says seemingly irritated.

I turn her around, so her back is to me and I kiss her neck, softly. I kiss over to her shoulder, my hand creeping up her side, to her right breast.

"You know how you make me feel, stop acting like you don't." I continue to kiss down her back, as I move my hand to the front of her down to her pussy. I lightly rub it and I hear her release a soft moan and I feel her hand wrap around the back of my neck.

I remove my hand, and push her against the wall. I kiss down her back and to her ass. I kiss it, massage it, lick it, then I put my face in it and start eating it, but only for a few minutes. I don't like that shit too much, I want this pussy and I'm finally about to get to taste it. I was waiting for the right time, and this just might be it.

I turn her around and she leans back against the wall. I kiss both of her thighs, one by one, then I lift one of her legs up and put it over my shoulder. I lick her pussy, then I lick it again, devouring it. Man, I've been waiting on this, to get her in my mouth. I've also been waiting to be this intimate with someone, where it's not forced, just wanting to please my partner.

She placed her hands on my head, and I begin sucking, licking, and tongue kissing her pussy. I'm loving every second of this, she is too, as she's moaning loudly and telling me she loves it but once I get going, I can't stop. I eat the pussy with precision every time. After she comes, I stand up, picking her up at the same time. She wraps her legs around my waist and she holds on to my neck. I hold her up with one hand wrapped around her, and the other arm her leg. I lean her against the wall, and enter into her. She loudly gasps, then moans, then smiles. I deep stroke her slowly. She didn't even care that I just went in raw.

She held on to me as I drilled her. She's loving every second of it, and so was I. I'm exactly where I want to be right now, with her, making love to her. Not with my ex, not checking on her, none of that. This is who I want right now.

After we were done in the shower, we moved to the bed. My sheets were soaked, but I didn't care. We went three more rounds before she tapped out on me. I could've went again, I can make love to this woman all damn day.

We were exhausted, and she didn't want to leave, she just wanted to sleep, but she had to. I had to pick up the kids from school. I left her at my house while I went to pick them up, I knew she would be gone when I got back and she was. I love that she actually follows directions, unlike someone I know.

***********

A few days later, I was upstairs in my room just watching tv, and relaxing. Lobo had Brielle and Jessica over, and they were sitting in the kitchen talking. All of a sudden, I hear yelling, and I hear Lobo. Wait, Lobo is yelling? I've never heard her raise her voice. I jump up and make my way downstairs.

"YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING BUT YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT!" Ammika yells

"WELL YOU NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH." Brielle yells back.

I get downstairs, and into the kitchen. I see Jessica standing in between them, separating them.

"Guys, come on!" Jessica says

"Well tell her to shut up, Jess!" Ammika says

"Okay Brie, maybe you should stop." Jessica says to Brielle. "It's not your business."

"No, I'm not gonna stop because she's throwing a bitch fit because I'm telling the truth." She says, "SHE NEEDS TO SPEAK UP!" She adds

"YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING BITCH!" Ammika says, then she notices me and instantly calms down.

I walk over to her and grab her by her waist. "Babe, go cool off."

She walks out of the kitchen.

"What's going on?" I ask the remaining two ladies.

"She-."

Jessica cuts off Brielle, "Nothing. It's just a misunderstanding."

Brielle scuffs, "Misunderstanding..." She rolls her eyes.

"Let me go check on her." I say, then I go to find Lobo.

She was in my bathroom, I caught her when she was coming out. She had that bullet necklace in her hand.

"Are you okay?" I ask

"Yes, I'm just so sick of Brie. She thinks she knows everything and doesn't know shit. She's always trying to tell me what to do."

"What's all this about?" I ask

"I really don't want to talk about it babe."

"So what do you want me to do? What do you need from me?" I ask wanting to fix this. I can't have her upset.

"I want them out of here." She says and I have to deliver.

"Aight, I'll go ask them to leave." I say

"No, go tell them to leave." She corrects me.

"Okay." I say then I go back into the kitchen. "Aye, she wants y'all out, so y'all gotta go."

"Me too?" Jessica asks

"Yeah."

"But I didn't do anything." She says looking offended.

"Hey, I'm just relaying the message."

"So she says jump and you just jump?" Brielle says

"I'm just doing what she asked me to do, and she wants y'all out, so you gotta go."

"So after what-two months y'all are just so tight? You know you don't even know her."

"Why are you so pressed—Babygirl, I'm not about to argue with you in my house. Lobo said what she said so...." I motion my hands in the direction of the door.

"Brie, leave." Jessica says

"Whatever." She gets her things, "I think you should get to know her just a little bit better before you go all in with her." She says with an attitude to me.

"GET OUT BRIE!" Jess yells

She doesn't say anything, she just leaves.

"What's she talking about?" I ask Jessica

"I don't know. Brie is crazy." She says

"You're so chill, is this normal?" I ask

"Yes. They always get into it. You know, I'm a little older than them, I'm 30. They always do this childish bullshit. Brie says something, then Mika reacts, or the other way around. They're best friends, sisters even. They'll be alright."

"Okay. I was worried. I've never heard Lobo raise her voice before. She's always so chill all the time." I say

"Lobo?"

"Oh." I smile, damn near giggling like a little school girl. "Yeah, that's what I call her." I say

"Cute. And yes, I know. She doesn't raise her voice often, but Brie gets to her. She'll be alright. You're doing good with her. She seems really happy."

"I guess she is, I am too." I smile

"That's good." She says, then she steps closer to me. "More importantly, I know who you are." She whispers and pokes me in my chest.

"What? Who am I?" I ask nervously.

"When are you going to tell her?" She asks

"What do you think you know?" I lower my voice so only she can hear.

"You're not hard to find Mr. Roman Reigns."

She says my name and my heart drops, "How did you find out?"

"I have a ten year old son, who watches wwe, faithfully. I walked in his room one day and there you were on the TV."

"Are you going to tell her?" I ask

"No. I just want to know why you won't tell her."

"I just feel like things will get complicated."

"How?"

"How do you think?" I look at her like she's crazy.

"She's not that type of person, but I understand your reservations. I won't say anything."

"Thanks and you should know, I like your friend a lot. That's my baby. She's really been good to me, and patient, and she's made me feel comfortable with my situation. Your friend is almost an angel."

"Oh, she's no angel." She laughs

"I said almost." I laugh to myself, "I know she isn't an angel, far from it."

"She has some issues, but she really is a good girl." She says

"I know she is, I can tell. I love her heart." I say, "Let me stop before I say something I might regret."

She smiles, "I'm going to get going, take care of her, and be patient with her as well. She has a lot going on in her head and a few demons she needs to get over."

"Like what?"

"That's for her to tell you. It's not my place." She says

"Anything I need to know?" I ask, concerned.

"Yes."

"Oh, I guess I just have to wait until she's ready."

"Exactly. I'll see you later." She says

I walk her to the door, "Be safe getting home." I say, opening the door. She walks out and I close the door behind her. I start to head back up to Lobo but she's sitting at the top of the stairs. "Oh, hey!"

"Hey." She says, sounding sad.

"Are you okay?" I ask

"Yes. I just need a break from them."

"Them, or Brie?" She doesn't say anything. "Jessica told me about you guy's relationship."

"We'll get over it and I know she's right, but I just don't want to hear it right now."

I sat next to her, "Anything you need, let me know." I put my arms around her and hugged her.

"Thank you." She says, "I didn't mean for you to see me like that. She just makes me so angry."

"It's okay, Babe. It was weird seeing you raise your voice, but it's okay." I say, "You know it's pretty obvious how we feel about each other. I don't plan on going anywhere, you can talk to me, tell me anything."

"I know." She says

"Your friend just kind of confirmed what Ive been thinking about you." I say

"What's that?"

"The type of person you are."

"Jess always has my back." She says smiling.

"She's a good friend, I can tell. You should keep her around."

"I know. I love her."

"So are you seriously not going to tell me what was so bad that I had to kick your best friend out of my house?" I ask

She sighs and rests her head on my shoulder, "There are some things you don't understand, some things I don't want you to understand, because if you did, I dont think you'd want me anymore." She says, then she puts her head down, playing with her hands.

"I don't know if there's anything that'll make me not want you, but what exactly are you trying to say?" I ask

She hesitates, then sighs again, "She wants me to tell you something. Something you should know, but I don't want to tell you because you'll look at me differently."

"What is it? Is it something I need to know, and should I be concerned?"

"Yes."

"Well what the hell then?"

"Joe, If I told you I needed you to just trust me, would you?"

"I would have to."

"Okay, can you just trust me?" She asks

"Yeah." I say. I have to drop it. She is doing the same for me. "Do you need anything?" I ask

"Yes, I would like to take you out." She says with a smile and I panic a little.

I've been avoiding going out in public because of the obvious. It's not about me being seen with her, it's about someone seeing me and wanting a picture or something. It's been a couple of months and we should've gone on 100 dates by now but we haven't, and I somewhat feel bad about it. I think she thinks it has something to do with my ex, so she doesn't ask much. I have to find another way around this, I'm running out of options. I can't keep this from her too much longer.

What did y'all think about this chapter and what do you think about Ammika??
