Sequoia

Have you ever done something bad as a child and your mother catches you, so you instantly blame whoever was committing the crime with you?

Yeah, that's how I feel.

But the problem is, I wasn't blaming Daniel, he was trying to put the blame on me. "Dude, your girl came on to me. I just came to return something. " he lies smoothly, and he didn't even blink. Like he was a professional actor or he even practiced to do this, how the hell was he doing this? And why the hell was he doing this? "I didn't want to reject her, so I kissed her."

That doesn't even sound right!

I gape at him openly and you could just see a glint of guilt in his blue eyes, Daniel looked like he didn't even want anything to do with this situation. "You lying motherfu-" I curse, then turn to Justin who looked calm but I can see it in his eyes; he wants to murder Daniel. "Baby, he's lying please believe me."

Justin looks- well- glares at me and I immediately shut my mouth, I knew I was in trouble and I hadn't even done anything wrong. "You, get the fuck out before I pull out my gun and shoot you . " he growls at Daniel but he's still glaring at me menacingly, I continue to meet his glare while Daniel quickly scurries pass Justin like he was scared Justin would reach out and hit him.

The door slams closed , causing me to flinch slightly and Justin to have no reaction whatsoever. "Justin, I swear I di-" I start but Justin puts his hand up and shake his head, he didn't want to hear anything I was saying right now; that's understandable I suppose.

Justin leans on my desk and folds his arms over his chest, he shakes his head with an angry expression on his face. "I know you didn't do anything wrong, I saw everything and I'm not stupid. " I visibly relax , listen to everything else he has to say. "That guy has been trying with you before I came around , I can tell. Especially since I've came around, the look in his eyes was noticeable. That's why I didn't like him from the start."

"What look?"

"Lust and love; when he sees me me with you jealousy is added to the mix , a horrible combination that can drive a man crazy."

Daniel lusts for me but I don't think he can love me, he can't. We haven't even dome anything, we kept our friendship strict- well I keep it as strictly friends. From the outside it didn't seem like he mind, but I guess Justin knew otherwise. Daniel loves me some kind of way, and I wanted to know, why now?

"Why would he?" I say more to myself.

"Because sequoia, almost everyone wants you. You just don't see, its driving me fùcking crazy too." Justin suddenly cuts in, I frown and look at him confusingly. He grunts and run his hand through his already messy hair, he looked so frustrated. "Do you not see how men look at you? Or are you that oblivious and too stupid to see that shit?"

Wait, why is he yelling at me?

"Justin, I don't pay attention to other men. I don't care if they stare." I shot back but I wanted to say I'm too busy paying attention to you. But I don't, I just stare at a frustrated Justin who looked like he need to punch something at this moment. "I'm serious Justin. Obviously you're the only one I want, so why would I pay attention to the looks of other guys?"

"I don't know but they sure as hell pay attention to you!"

And you don't think other women look at you lustfully Justin? Don't be so ignorant.

"And I don't fùcking care about them! I don't care if Daniel wants me because I sure as hell don't want him."

Why was Justin acting as if I would leave him for Daniel? I wouldn't even think of it, he needs to stop being so insecure and plain stupid.

Justin says nothing and stands up from his leaning position, his uniform shirt was untucked and his hair was a mess. Something is wrong, I don't know what it is but I can feel it. "You know what? I'm going home, I'll be there when you decide to get some sense. "

Oh my God.

I groan and run my fingers through my hair, "No you're not leaving. You need to listen instead of talking over me and trying to run away from this." I was growing more frustrated by the second, and by the look on Justin's face I could tell he was surprised by it too. "You're so damn insecure." I blurt out my thoughts before I can stop myself but its too late, I had to continue. "You think I care about other men like Daniel and I definitely don't. "

Justin's hand is on the doorknob but he quickly turns around and stalks towards me with the same glare he gave me earlier. "And how the hell am I supposed to know that? How am I so sure that you love me enough to stay away from other men? I don't even know if you love me!" he snarls angrily, now I was taken aback by his words. "I don't know a thing Sequoia! I know you like my fùcking cock because you're always on it! But other than that, I came into this relationship with a heart full of love for you. What can you give me back?"

You also came into this relationship married, but eh that's no big deal right?

"how can you even say that?" I ask softly, maybe I wasn't clear to Justin about how much I loved him. I want to tell him, I really do, but I don't know why I couldn't bring myself to say it. I've never said to anyone, only my mother. Not even to the one boyfriend I had before Justin, I'm not used to it. "You don't kn-"

" Because its true and I do know."

Not at all, you know nothing.

Justin moves in closer to me, I back up until I'm up against my own desk. "And since you only want me for that, I will be fùcking you right now." what? No. I shake my head and push him away but he grabs my arms , giving me a sinister smile. "Yes, you want this. I bet your pussy is probably wet for me right now, as always."

Justin releases my hands and his own find their way up my skirt, "Justin, stop." I say hoarsely, but he continues to grope me under my skirt. By now he had managed to tear the fabric of my panties, and I was confused; why was he still touching me? This isn't Justin, this is someone else. "Justin I said stop!" I yell weakly, his hands freeze and he looks at me with apologetic eyes.

His hands drop and he runs them through his hair, I scramble to fix my skirt. "Oh my god, angel I'm so sorry." he apologizes his voice cracking, but I just stand there, slightly shook. "I'm so stupid, I'm sorry. Sequoia I'm just a jealous man, I'm crazy about you. I just can't get the image of him touching you out of my mind. Forgive me, I should of stopped when you told me to. I'm just so stressed, the divorce, work, I hate it all. I wi- " he rambled but I understood, I reached up and placed a hand on his unshaved jaw to stop him for talking any further.

"Its- its okay Justin ." is it really?

Justin nods before pulling me into a tight hug, I hug him back while he mutters sorry into my hair repeatedly. I could tell he was sincere, Justin would never deliberately hurt me; I was sure of it. "Just don't do that again, please."

"Never again baby."

I pull away from his embrace and punch him in his arm with all my strength, causing him to hiss and grab his arm. "When I say stop, you stop." I threaten, I felt as if telling him not to do it again wasn't enough. I had to hit him or something; childish? Yes. "And don't ever call me stupid again! "

"Okay I'm sorry for everything I've said and I promise I will, Jesus Christ." he mutters, rubbing his arm and glaring at me playfully. Justin
looks at the watch on his wrist and then looks up at me apologetically yet again," I've got to go baby, see you later." he leans down and places a kiss on my forehead cautiously.

"Bye..."

"Stay away from Daniel, or I will shoot him in the balls. " he threatens before walking towards the door and striding out, I sigh once he's out of sight. Jesus, everything was getting crazier by the day and I didn't like it. Apparently Justin is stressed, that wasn't good for him or anybody; being stressed could cause problems.

He already has too many, the divorce being the biggest one. Justin just wanted to cut things off with Penelope as quickly as he could but divorces are very long. I remember my parent's divorce took months, I was old enough to under stand it then but it was still a long process. All of the legal jaz had to be settled between lawyers, judges, and tons of paper work. I feel bad for Justin and Penelope, I'm surprised they didn't pull out their own hair yet.

Another problem would be me, I feel so ungrateful at times. Justin is going through this divorce because he wants to be with me, and I can't simply tell him I love you. I honestly can be stubborn sometimes, but this is just plain stupid. I have to say it and mean it, I know I mean it too.

So why couldn't I say it?

***

It's been a few days since the incident with Daniel, and ever since Justin has been exceptionally sweet. He's been apologizing for everything that happened nearly 4 days ago. Every chance he gets, its always I'm so sorry angel, I love you and each time, I forgive him. Maybe its because of his soft voice or his pleading eyes, but I can plainly see that he's truly sorry. Or maybe its because he's very persuasive with his mouth, I'm not sure.

Get your mind out the gutter

Speaking of apologies, Daniel has approached me several times at work to give me his lame speeches about how sorry he was. But he doesn't know that our friendship is beyond repair, it can't be fixed. Not only did he kiss me but he made it seem like I was the one who started it, I don't even like him!

Right now, I shouldn't even care about him. I should just be focused on picking out an outfit for tonight. My mother is still in town with Brandon and she wants all of us to have dinner, us as in ; Justin, Brandon's girlfriend, and his girlfriend's sister and her plus one, my mother and I. I have yet to meet this special lady of his, and I was sort of excited. Brandon deserved to be happy, everyone deserves happiness.

I just hope that this woman is good to him, hopefully she's nice and gorgeous too because he tends to attract the cute yet crazy ones. Brandon doesn't look his age, in fact he looks younger but not that much. The funny thing is, Jade finds him extremely attractive; then again, who doesn't she find attractive? Jade even finds Ryan attractive, like how? Ryan is like a brother to me, despite him being Justin's friend; I couldn't see him being more than a brother, let alone attractive.

"Why are you disgusted by your closet?" a voice asks , breaking me from my little day dreaming. I turn and see my best friend smirking at me, I immediately shoot up and rush to her embracing her in a hug. Hey, that's how I feel when I don't see my bestfriend in a few days. "Wow, I feel loved." she laughed, hugging me back just as tight.

"I missed you!" I shout after I pull away from her, a large grin on my face as I do so. Jade returns the same expression , "What are you doing here?"

"I can't just randomly stop by and vist my bestfriend? " I gave her a look and she sighed in defeat , throwing her hands up dramatically. "Okay, okay. I need you to do me a favor." I turn towards my closet and continue to search for something to wear tonight, something fancy because my mother made reservations at a high scale restaurant.

Gosh mother we couldn't just hit up golden corral and call it a night?

"Jade if this has something to do with Ryan, I'm going to kick your ass." I threaten, pulling out an olive green dress that had a neck line that dipped down dramatically. I tossed it to the side, considering to put it on and get Justin's input by sending him a photo while he's at work. "Is it about Mr. Butler?"

Jade stays silent, I turn to face her and she's smiling at me sheepishly. Oh no. "Please! I just want to know if he likes me, like beyond just fùcking me into a pile of - of Jade. " she whines, I snort at her word choice. A pile of Jade. "Seriously Sequoia, that dude fùcks me like I did something wrong. That's why I'm going crazy, you don't understand. "

Oh trust me, I understand completely.

I try not to imagine my bestfriend literally getting fùcked by Ryan, its just somthing I don't want to picture. "Oh please tell me more about how hard he screws you, I'm enjoying it."

Jade folds her legs under her, propping herself up further. "Okay so this one time he literally had me bent over in the kitchen, who does that?" been there, way too many times but I don't want to hear her stories at all, does she know what sarcasm is? "-and, wait were you being sarcastic again?" I nod and shiver slightly, ew. I try to turn my attention back to my closet yet again, pulling out a few more dresses.

Jade is silent again, which isn't likely so I turn and see that she's giving me her best pleading look. Its very hard to resist, Jade is adorable, honestly. The fact that she has a crush is better, she never has those at all and she never comes to me for relationship advice. I guess she was serious about this, "okay fine, what do you want me to do?"

Jade squeals and explains to me everything I'm supposed to question Ryan about, its a lot might I add. She explains how and why I'm questioning him, Jade likes him a lot; its surprising really. She was considered a different man every weekend type of girl and to see her falling for just one guy is refreshing and exciting. But Jade doesn't want to make it obvious that I was sent to ask questions so she tells me to make it seem like I was just strangely curious about the couple.

That's cute.

Jade's visit is cut short when she is called into work on such short notice, now it was just me alone in this large condo searching for something to wear. I had at least five different dresses on my bed, and I was planning on taking a picture in all of them and sending them to Justin, he's sometimes very opinionated when it came to what I was wearing.

One by one, I took the pictures and sent them to him, probably sending about seventeen different photos. Some of the pictures were of me in taunting positions mainly because I loved messing with Justin
His reactions are entertaining and weirdly satisfying. I grin to myself as I typed a message after sending him all of those pictures ;

To Justin at 5:34 pm:

In desperate need of help, would you pick one for me daddy? Make sure you look at all of them carefully.

I chuckled at my own message before sending it to him, I've never called him that so his reaction could be funny. I threw my phone on the bed before walking into the bathroom, I could hear my phone start to ping continuously as soon as I was far away. I hurriedly jog back to my phone and noticed there were nearly eighteen messages from him, and they were still coming in.

Jesus.

I swipe my thumb over the screen and read through his messages;

From Justin 5:35pm:

What the fùck Sequoia

From Justin 5:36pm:

Holy shít I'm at work and you do this to me?

From Justin 5:36pm:

Fuuuuccckkk, what did I do to deserve this? If you wear any of these I guarantee you that you'll be getting it.

From Justin 5:37 pm :

You're seriously gonna get it when I see you! You can't be making me hard in front of a bunch of men, it ain't right.

From Justin 5:37pm:

I really hate you right now

And I stopped reading then locked my phone without reply back to him, he hated when I did that. It added more fuel to the fire I was playing around with. With a proud smirk I strutted into the bathroom and prepared myself for a long shower, knowing Justin was probably blowing up my phone right now and I was oddly happy about it.

I love making him sexually frustrated

Justin

I looked at my phone for the fifth tenth time in thirty minutes awaiting a text, a call, any thing from my teasing girlfriend. Having to adjust myself countless times because of her, Sequoia is the biggest tease I've ever came across and I hated it. Why the hell did she send these while I'm currently seated at my desk in the precinct? Who told her it was a good idea?

I couldn't even do anything about it.

That is because as soon as I get off, which will be in fifteen minutes, I'll be rushing home to get dressed for dinner with her mother and a few others tonight. There wasn't a thing I could do about this. I cursed under my breath and attempted to take my mind off of Sequoia by spinning in my chair . yes, I'm a twenty seven year old man spinning in my chair.

Not even a minute goes by and I scramble to grab my phone that vibrated when a new message appeared. I grin and unlock my phone, but my smile vanished when I see its from Penelope instead of Sequoia. I opened the message and grimaced as I read it;

From don't fùcking answer at 6:04 pm:

I still love you, I'm not giving up on us so easily.

Instead of replying, I tossed my phone back on the desk while letting out an annoyed grunt. Every once in a while, I would get these from her but I always ignored them of course. Why would I attempt to even reply back? Sequoia would probably cut my head off, both of them.

"You look fùcking miserable dude," Ryan laughed as he appeared through the doors, I shoot him a glare because he knew I couldn't go out and patrol with him until next week. Sitting behind a desk all day is very nerve wrecking, watching everyone go in and out while I sit here like a fùcking potato. "I feel sorry for you man, but at least you don't have to go through this for much longer."

"Shut up," I snap at him just as my phone vibrates again, I eye it suspiciously and unlock it. Its another message from Sequoia this time, finally after thirty plus minutes. I open it with out hesitation only to be surprised by what I'm seeing; "shit." I curse, then stare at the picture for too long.

From Angel at 6:08 pm:

How about I wear this for you?

Sequoia is dressed, barely, she's just in lingerie. Her breasts are nearly out of the blue lacy material, my eyes trail down to her covered sex. I nearly die right there when I see that the underwear barely covered anything, what the fùck? Her thighs were taunting me, her lips were also, even her damn eyes!

Fuck you Sequoia smith.

"Are you okay ? What are looking at- holy shít! " Ryan takes my phone away from me before I could hide it from him, he's staring openly at the picture. "you two are sexting! " he laughs then looks at the rest of the photos while muttering damn. I quickly snatch my phone from him and slap the back of his head.

"What the hell? Don't look at her." I sneer possessively, Ryan is lucky he's my friend or I would've beat his ass for that. Ryan shoots me a goofy grin and throws his hand up in surrender, pùssy. "I'm going home." I grumble angrily and get up from my desk, receiving amused looks from ryan.

"You do that! Go make love to her Jay Jay! " he yells after me, probably receiving glares from everyone that heard what was said.

"Fùck off ryan!"

***

Once I got home I was greeted by a rushining Sequoia, her heels clicking against the floor as she pushes me towards the bedroom. "We have to get you ready or we're gonna be late, my mother hates tardiness. " she explains as she breaks away from me and walks towards the clothes she had laid out for me. I was really disappointed, maybe because I wanted her right now. "Put this on, I'm going to let my hair down."

I chuckled at her because she was ordering me around as if I were a child. But that is how she is when it came to things like this, she was always on edge. I pick up the clothes and quickly get dressed in a black button up shirt, black dress pants, my Rolex watch on my wrist and black dress shoes on my feet, all toped with a burgundy suit jacket.

Sequoia should dress me more often.

Sequoia steps out of the bathroom with her hair falling down her back, I took the time to notice she had on a dark burgundy dress that split up high on her thigh, her neck line plunged dramatically down her belly button showing just the right about of cleavage of her brown skin. "Miss Smith, you look precious tonight. " I compliment sincerely. "Did you wear this for me?"

"No, for my other boyfriend. " she replies sarcastically, smiling as she slipped on a silver necklace. Sequoia walks up to me a fixes my collar while looking into my eyes, an unexplainable emotion in her own. "I would tell you how good you look but you're nothing compared to me."

That is true.

"Please, tell daddy how great he looks tonight."

Sequoia laughs and shake her head, I recall her calling me daddy earlier, It was a surprise, a pleasant one at that. "Daddy, you look -" she stops and looks me over one more time "Very handsome, gorgeous and fuckable."

"So do you sweetcheeks, now let's go. " she looks at me quizzically before walking away, I follow close behind her and lightly smack her ass as I do so. Sequoia winks at me and grabs her things from off the table as she walks towards the elevator and steps on. The whole ride down to the parking garage was slow and torturous, mainly because I wanted to reach out and touch her so bad but it would lead to other things. So as soon as the doors open, I rush her out and to the car.

The ride to the restaurant was longer than expected, which made us nearly five minutes late for dinner. Sequoia complained about how her mother was going to nag about it as we pulled up, I walk around to open her door, holding out my hand to assist her out like the gentleman I am.

"Keep your fingers to yourself tonight." she warns, I smirk as I remember the last time we had dinner with others, my fingers ended up under her skirt. But don't blame me, I can't help it that I want to touch her ever chance I get. "I mean it Justin."

"Fine, I can never have fun." I complain as we walk into the restaurant hand in hand. Sequoia rolls her eyes at me and talks to the hostess standing at the podium, while I take a look at the decor of the restaurant; way nicer than a McDonald's, I tell you that.

The hostess leads us towards the back other restaurant where camellia is sitting, a few other familiar faces are there but I can't make them out until I get close enough. "Oh fùck. " Sequoia cursed to herself, my eyes widened also at the people seated at the large table. I was at a loss of words, I was too shocked to even react to this. Sequoia is squeezing my hand unbearably tight as we get closer to the table, Camellia looks up and smiles widely at us before standing up.

We could've made a run for it. But instead we were trapped with the two people were avoiding all week, and that we wanted to avoid for the rest of the year.

Penelope and Daniel.

------------------------------------

Y'all, Sequoia is in trouble now. Yas I can't wait for next chapter, I was going to give it to y'all today but I want to add more things so I'm just gonna wait until next week.

This chapter is longer than usual mainly because I wanted to show how Sequoia and justin tease each other, well how Sequoia is torturing that poor man. And I added a little Jade and Ryan conflict too.

Until next week
