What You Won't Do, Somebody Else Will Read online

  “Hey baby, what you doing?” she asked

  “I’m sleeping.”

  “This late?”

  “What time is it? “I asked.

  “Three o’clock! Why are you still in bed?”

  “I went out last night with a friend of mine.”

  “Male or female?”

  “If it makes a difference, it was a female.”

  “I’m just asking baby! So what are you planning on doing today?”

  “Nothing much, maybe get a little work done but that’s it.”

  “Well I was hoping we could hang out today, maybe do some shopping or something.”

  “Can we do it another time because I really don’t feel like going anywhere today.”

  “That must have been some party if it got you this tired, anyway call me when you get a chance.” She said with an attitude.

  I was thinking “She is about to get on my nerves with her questions.” so to slow her down, I decided not to call her right back. I went back to sleep but was awaken again, this time by Tony. “What’s up girl; when are you going to let me take you out?”

  “I’ve been busy but how about next week?” I said to brush him off.

  “Okay baby, we can do that.”

  When I did call Keisha back she was upset. “It took you this long to call me back?”

  With clear irritation in my voice, I said “slow down! You’re moving too fast.”

  “I thought we were friends Shakina!”

  “We are.” I explained. “Keisha, I’m going to be out of town for a couple of days and I’ll call you when I get back.” She hung up. I know Keisha has baggage with her husband and all but she was beginning to get a little clingy so I decided to back up from her for a minute.

  I went to the health club for a much needed workout and as I was leaving I got a call from Candace. “Hey you,” She said, Sounding sexy.

  “What’s up with you?” I said in my flirty voice, smiling.

  “I’m trying to see what you up to.”

  “I’m leaving the health club, on my way home.”

  “I want to come and see you. “She said.

  “When are you trying to do that?” I teased.

  “Right now, I’m hoping.”

  I gave her my address and she came right over. Candace is a bad bitch and she knows it!

  The girl is so fine, and so sexy. “I’m hungry “she said.

  “Do you want to go out to eat or order something in?” I asked.

  “I’ll just order in.” she said.

  I was wearing boy shorts and a tank top. “You’re looking good in those shorts. She said.” Smiling, I thanked her. “Can I use your bathroom?” She asked. I pointed her in the direction of it. “Come with me.” She said. When we got in the bathroom she stepped out of her clothes and into my shower. She was looking so good I thought to myself “I need a bib so this girl doesn’t see the slob drip down my mouth.”

  “Get in with me.” she said. I took off my clothes and got into the shower with her. We lathered each other up. As soon as I reached for her, she put my hands down and started sucking my breast. It was feeling so good. She came up to kiss me, pinning me against the wall while kissing and licking all over me. “Let’s go to the tub.” She said. Candace had me to lie back on the floor resting on my hands, while my lower body was up on the tub. She got down on her knees in the tub, spread my legs open wide and gave me some of the best head I’ve ever had. She was licking me with long, strong licks while looking at me. I didn’t know she had it in her. I’m usually the aggressor in bed but I see she’s got major spunk herself. We left the bathroom and went into my bedroom. As we lay in my king size bed with the mirrors over head, she was kissing and caressing my body. “I want to ask you something Shakina. She said softly.

  “What is it baby?” She grabbed her purse and pulled out a bag. I was looking at her waiting to see what she was about to pull out of the bag. She came out with a strap-on! I had never used one before and I was hoping she was not about to ask if she could use it on me. I was thinking “If I’m going to have some dick it better be a real one!” That’s just me. It looked real; it was a soft material with veins in it and everything. Lying back on the bed, she opened her legs and said “I want you to fuck me.” Now I was the one looking stuck. I was willing to give it a try but only after we got one thing understood. I said “I’ll do this baby but you can’t do me.” Smiling she said “Okay baby, I want you to fuck me.” I strapped it on and had she not brought it she would have thought it was mine. I fucked her like I owned that dick. It felt so good to fuck her and know that she was enjoying it, that I came from that alone.

  Afterwards I took it off and came at that pussy from the side, my favorite position.

  She went wild, screaming my name saying “Whatever you do baby, don’t stop!”

  What do you want to order to eat baby.” I asked remembering that she was hungry.

  “I ordered you and you were filling enough for me, I’m stuffed now.” She said laughing.

  “But if you’re hungry and have something in the fridge I’ll cook it for you.”

  I was thinking to myself “Aww shit, she wants to cook for me? I already like her, and now she wants to cook?” She asked me for something to wear, so I gave her some sexy shorts with a matching top. She was standing in the kitchen at the stove looking so damn good in those shorts. I was looking at her perfect round ass and the sexy curve in her back and said “fuck the food, I’m hungry for you!” She came back in the room and we went for another round. When I got through stretching her ass out all over the bed, she was hungry then.

  She finished cooking and after we ate, we fell asleep. I awoke to her head between my legs. I was in passion paradise. After we finished yet another round she still was not ready to go home. She pulled out her laptop and began writing. She looked so cute lying there with her beautifully sculpted, toned body glistening from the morning sun that was beaming down on her. Her hair slightly disheveled but in a sexy way. While she was typing away I took a shower, and went out to get us some breakfast and cappuccino. She didn’t leave until later that evening.

  The next day I was working when my doorbell rang. I answered and a guy said he was with a flower delivery service. When he got to my door I could barely see him through the peep hole because of all the flowers he had. I opened the door, with a curious look on my face wondering who sent them. I tipped him, and after he left, I eagerly searched for the card to see who had sent all these beautiful pale pink, yellow, white and coral roses, dozens of them with one lilac rose. Here it is. I found the card. It read, “Congratulations! You are the winner of my heart, can’t wait to see you again.” Love Candace with a heart drawn. I was completely wowed. I got out my cell and called her. “What does this mean?” I asked with a big ass smile on my face.

  “When I saw you for the first time Shakina, I was amazed at your beauty and when you followed me to the bathroom and aggressively kissed both sets of my lips, I fell in love with you right there. Do you believe in love at first sight?” She asked.

  “Yes, because when I first laid eyes on you I knew I had to have you.”

  “Shakina, I’m going to be straight up with you, I have never been in a relationship with a woman before but I want to have one with you. You can have whatever you want. I have my own money and my family’s finances are secure as well, so money will never be a problem for us, but its love that matters most to me and I’m in love with you. Will you be with me?”

  “Baby I don’t want you to think that I don’t feel the same because I do, maybe even stronger but I have made so many mistakes in my life and been hurt so much, That I have to be extremely careful who I give my heart to. I’m going to need sometime to think about this.”

  “Take your time baby because I’m not going anywhere and I want you to be sure, when you say yes.” She said with confidence. “I have to get back to work, so I’ll talk with you later, bye baby.”

  After I hung up f
rom her I went right to my stereo and popped in D’ Angelo, blasting my song “Cruisin”, made me a drink and was singing through the house.

  I was thinking to myself “I want to be with Candace but I’m not ready to let my guards down.

  A lot was going on in my head so I decided to call Tony just to talk. When he answered he said, “I was just thinking about you girl. I planned tomorrow for us. You didn’t change your mind on me did you?”

  Actually it had slipped my mind but I said “No, we’re still on.”

  “Good I’m looking forward to seeing you.”

  I hung up and just laid my head back thinking about Candace, hoping I wouldn’t make the wrong decision.

  The next day I was in the shower when I heard the doorbell. I looked out the window and saw a stretch limo parked in front of my house. I answered “Yes, Can I help you?” The guy responded saying “I’m the limo driver for Mr. Russell, here to pick up a Shakina.” I immediately called Tony and he said “Go with him Shakina, I’ve planned everything, just trust me.” I asked the driver to give me a few minutes. I grabbed my sexy white silk dress, slid my feet into my stilettos, pinned my hair up and was out the door. The driver pulled up in front of the Carlyle hotel, here in New York. As soon as we arrived, Tony called my phone. “We’re registered under Mr. and Mrs. Russell, just tell them you’re the Mrs. and they will give you the key.” He said. When I walked in I was in awe of the beautiful surroundings. I walked to the desk and said “Hello I’m Mrs. Russell.” The young lady had the biggest smile on her face. She said “Hello Mrs. Russell here is your key and I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay.” I took the elevator to the 7 floor and walked to room 710. I opened the door and Tony was standing in front of the balcony looking as fine as I had ever seen him. He was wearing a tux and I could smell his cologne when I walked into the room. He had D’ Angelo playing. He knows how much I love his music, and he was playing my favorite, “Cruising.” There was a dress laid on the bed and a pair of stilettos on the floor in front of it. I smiled. “What’s all this?” I asked. “Get dressed!” he said. Before I could say anything else he put his finger gently on my lips and said again, “Get dressed.” I went to inspect the clothes he had picked for me. It was a Versace evening gown and Stuart Weitzman’s diamond dream stilettos with a matching clutch. I went into the bathroom to get dressed. When I came out his facial expression was so serious looking, “You look stunning!” He said, staring.

  “Thank you, it’s beautiful.”

  “So are you Shakina, are you ready to go baby?”

  I nodded my head yes. He extended his arm for me to hold on to like the perfect gentleman he is. We left the hotel room and went downstairs for dinner in a private area all to ourselves. Coming from the speakers was some nice romantic music. So far I loved it. He pulled out my chair and after I sat down, he poured me a drink of Diaka Vodka. I had never had it before but it was good with an ultra smooth taste. “All of this for me?” I asked.

  “I told you, I planned everything!”

  “I see. Wow—nice”

  “Shakina when I said I wanted to spend time with you, I meant I wanted to be with you and not for just one night. I have been in love with you for the past three years but neither of us was ready then. I’m ready now. Are you?” He said staring into my eyes.

  “Am I ready for what Tony? I asked. “You already know how I feel. We’ve talked about this several times and you know what I’ve been through.”

  “That’s why I’ve been patient. How is your drink baby?”

  I picked my drink up to take a sip; the crystal glass sparkled like diamonds. I was sitting the glass down when the glare of a bright sparkle caught my eye. I took a closer look and at the bottom of my glass laid the biggest most beautiful diamond ring, I had ever seen in my life. When I lifted my head and looked at Tony I saw him in a totally different way. I wanted to kiss him but I kept my composure. “Can I have this dance?” He asked, reaching for my hand. I extended my hand to him, “Yes you can.” When he held me in his arms, it felt like I was at home in my bed. He felt so right, so perfect like I was where I was suppose to be. I laid my head on his chest because in that moment I completely trusted him. He raised my head and kissed me. His lips were soft, yet strong. His tongue gentle, yet forceful. It was like a dream. I was thinking “I have been ignoring this man because of my past pains and now it’s like I’m standing here with someone else but its Tony!” He held my chin up with his index finger and kissed me again.

  “Will you marry me Shakina? Will you trust me to love and support you, allow me to wake up beside you and go to sleep with you every night?” A single tear was about to drop when I caught it. I was trying to be strong and not show too much emotion but before I could think about it I said “Yes baby! I will marry you.”

  Smiling, he said, “You have made me the happiest man on this earth. I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you. Let’s eat Mrs. Russell, I’m hungry.”

  Everything was happening so fast. That night Tony and I slept at the hotel but we did not have sex, he was a perfect gentleman. He held and kissed me with so much passion that I could feel the power in his body. I wanted him so bad like so many times he wanted me but was the furthest from my mind. Now I lay here hoping he would make love to me.

  The bright sun woke me up the next morning. Tony was still asleep. I looked at him and knew it was not a dream. This man is real and he’s about to be mine. As I was coming out of the shower, he was waking up. He removed any doubt with “Good morning Mrs. Russell.” I smiled and kissed him. “I have to get to work baby. Go plan our wedding.” He said.

  When I left the hotel the limo driver was waiting for me. I got in and turned on my phone. I had ten missed calls and six messages. The first message was from Keisha.

  “Why haven’t you called me? Why is your phone turned off? Where are you and who are you with?”

  Keisha: “You need to call me!”

  Keisha: “I guess we’re going to need to talk huh, since you can’t answer your phone or call me back.”

  Candace: “Call me baby, I’ve been trying to reach you but your phone is off.”

  Denise: “You need to call me A.S.A.P”

  Candace: “Hey baby, what’s going on? I need to hear from you so I’ll know everything is ok with you, so give me a call soon, love you bye.”

  I called Denise first to see what the emergency was. She answered saying;

  “You with your slick ass wasn’t even going to tell me you had sex with Candace huh?”

  “How did you find out?”

  “Candace is my motherfucking girl, remember? I introduced her to you. I saw the way your ass was drooling over her. Did you really think we believed that shit about y’all getting lost? Girl Candace said she is in love with you and that you told her you wanted to think about being with her but she knows you’re going to be with her.”

  “She told you all that huh?” I said smiling.

  “Girl yeah,”

  “Well Denise I got to go so I’ll talk with you later.”

  “Okay let’s do lunch soon.” She said.

  “Sure, just let me know when, take care girl.” I hung up.

  Next, I called Keisha. “Hey there, what’s going on?” She went off...

  “Whoever you’re fucking, you can keep fucking them because I don’t have time for this shit.”

  “Neither do I.” I snapped back, “Peace!”

  I hung up and called Candace “Hey baby I’m sorry I had you worried, I was out with a friend and got in late.”

  “Okay baby I just wanted to make sure you were alright, can I see you tonight?”

  “How about tomorrow baby?

  “Oh okay, I’ll see you then baby. Love you.”

  “Love you too girl”

  ***

  I went home so that I could relax and absorb all that was happening. When I got in the house the voicemail light was flashing. I sat my bags down and pushed the button to play my messag
es. “Hello Mrs. Russell, I was wondering if maybe I could come over and spend some time with you.”

  I hurried and called him and said “Yes baby, come on over.”

  I whipped up some glazed smoked salmon, sautéed some onions and peppers with a spinach salad, and put on something sexy to seduce him. When he came through the door, he held me tight, squeezing me like he didn’t want to let me go, kissing me. “Hey baby I missed you girl.”

  “I missed you too baby, are you hungry?” I asked.

  “Yes I am. What’s that you’re cooking? It smells good.”

  “Glazed salmon, with a salad.”

  “Yeah I’ll take some of that. Hey baby can I take a shower?”

  Giving him a seductive look, I smiled and said “Mr. Russell you can take whatever you like!”

  “I’ll just take a towel for now.” He said, smiling at me and looking so sexy.

  When he came out of the shower, me and his plate was at the table waiting for him. His shirt fit him to a tee. I could see his muscles right through it; his shorts showed his chiseled and define thighs and legs. He looked like a model. After we ate, we watched a couple of movies and just relaxed enjoying our time together. When we went to bed I was hoping he would make love to me. I lay in his arms and he kissed me gently. “Baby we will always be together. Forever you and forever me, remember that. I know you want me to make love to you. I can read your body and girl believe me when I tell you, I want to make love to you, but more than that I want our love to last. I’m glad you were giving me a hard time before; because I know you’re worth the wait. Now if you want to hurry this thing up, then get started planning our wedding. When do you want to get married? “

  “I was thinking August 15.”

  “That’s three weeks away baby!”

  “ I know.” I said, hoping he’d be okay with that.

  “Here’s my credit card, make it happen baby.”

  I fell asleep in his arms feeling so safe.
