“I get to smell you all day long.” He stated lowly, scooping me up bridal style in his arms effortlessly. Walking me back to the room I held on to him tightly. Laying me down and tucking me in with gentle care had me wanting to beg him to lay with me. I was so exhausted and tired from just his head alone, I started to drift back off into a deep sleep until I felt him kiss me passionately, sucking on my lips until they swelled. I lazily kissed him back. Pecking me on the forehead he said something else I could make out because I was already in la-la land.

When I woke up and looked at my phone, I noticed it was four o’clock in the evening. My stomach growled, I sat up and looked around. My eyes landed on a gift bag sitting on the other end of the bed. I smiled because Ream was full of surprises. Grabbing the bag, I crossed my legs and opened it up seeing to ring boxes and a Cartier big jewelry box. I decided to open one of the ring boxes that had a small sticky note that said, “For your dark side.”

Opening it, I marveled at the huge pear shape black diamond ring. Sliding it down on my middle finger, I excitedly grabbed the second ring box that had another small sticky note attached. “Promise ring. I’ll tell you my promise later.” Opening the ring box, I gasped. It was a pink diamond princess cut ring with tiny diamonds all around it. I slid that on my index finger. I looked down in the bag at the Cartier box and sighed, I never had a man get me such expensive gifts. I had my own money and always treated myself or my dad spoiled me with gifts when he was in a good mood.

It was the thought that was put into it that had me wishing Ream was here so I could thank him right away. I opened the box slowly and fell in love with the Cartier diamond neckless choker and bracelet to match. The earrings sat in between the neckless and bracelet and shined bright back at me. I wanted to do something special and out of the ordinary for Ream. I got up and showered then texted Hakeem asking him Ream’s address to his job. Next, I called Rellianah to ask her what it was her son loved. Ream was out here spending big ass bags on me, he dealt with all my crazy ways, and I wanted to show him my appreciation.

After two hours of planning and getting dressed, I smoked a blunt and stood looking at myself in the mirror. Today I rocked a backless T-shirt Prada dress it was yellow, and I loved how it seemed to make my dark brown skin glow. My knotless braids had new growth, so I gathered them up high and placed my braids in a high bun on top of my head. I did my baby hairs they adorned my edges perfectly. I put on my yellow Bottega Veneta heels then sprayed myself with my new Chloe perfume. I felt dainty and sexy. Winking at myself then blowing me a kiss in the mirror. I stepped outside and slipped on my Prada shades to save my eyes from squinting under the Cali sun.

After entering Ream’s label company in my maps, I arrived in less than twenty minutes. I fixed the permanent serious look that I always seemed to have on my face and entered the building. Frowning up once I saw no receptionist at the front desk, I text Hakeem and asked him what floor Ream’s office was on. Tapping my nails, I started to get impatient. Five minutes later he finally texted back so I hit the elevator. On the way up, I loved how professional and nice he had the building. I made a mental note to have him take me on a tour. My mixtape was almost complete, but I didn’t see myself taking it too far, I didn’t want to be some big superstar. I wouldn’t mind recording a couple of songs here and seeing what Ream’s producers could come up with. Stepping off the elevator I scanned the floor. This floor was almost empty, there was a bar and his guards that recognized me and smiled back at me. I didn’t ask them where Reams office was because my eyes landed on it. The glass windows were fogged so I couldn’t see through to them.

I tapped the glass door and tried to wait but when I got no answer. I took it upon myself to turn the knob and open the door. Ream sat back behind his office desk engrossed in a deep conversation on his office phone. He was negotiating a deal as some heavyset woman that sat on his black leather couch with her thick thighs opened. Her name tag read Summers and I frowned up. He still didn’t fire this bitch after he told me he fucked her. A foreign feeling of jealousy hit me fast and hard. Ream looked up at me and raised his thick brows and smiled back at me like shit was sweet. I rolled my eyes as Summer smiled at me and held her hand out. She was a beautiful big girl I had to give her props. Her hair was laid in a silk wrap that fell past her shoulders. She had on a white wraparound dress with her huge breast and cleavage on display. I looked down at her hand and passed it up as I went to take my rightful seat, in Reams lap.

“Tell him I’m signing him for five hundred thousand that’s it. If he can find better with his Tik Tok song having ass tell him good luck.” He placed the phone back on the receiver and rubbed my thighs with his big hands. I looked at Summers, noticing the tight smile on her face. To make her tighter, I rubbed the back of his head and leaned back kissing him on his full thick lips.

“Thanks for my gifts baby. I have a surprise for you too.” I smiled and kissed his neck. I was laying it on thick, but it felt good to shower him with affection. If we were going to try this thing between us, I had to learn how to show him love and affection. I massaged the back of his neck, and I could tell he was shocked to see me.

“You got a surprise for daddy?” He kissed my neck as his hand started to creep between my thighs. Summers cleared her throat and stood up.

“Mr. Powers did everything go good?” She cut her eyes at me. I cut Ream off before he could start talking.

“Summers, it was brought to my attention that you and Mr. Powers had relations. Me being a silent partner, I’ve decided to let you go with severance pay. It is unprofessional and seeing that this is my man. You won’t be working very close to him anymore. I’m sure in a day or two Mr. Powers will transfer you to one of his associate’s companies. Maybe there you can find the man of your dreams.” The look on my face made me bit down on my inner cheek to keep from laughing.

“Umm… sure, my apologies.” Her eyes hit the floor.

“None needed.” I put my focus back on Ream and felt his dick growing hard underneath me. Summers stood there looking lost and sad before she dropped her head and excused herself. Once the door was shut, I stood up and looked at Ream with a serious look.

“I thought I told you to fire that bitch.” I spat. He shook his head and grabbed me by my hand and pulled me back onto his lap.

“A silent partner huh?” He stroked his beard and put his nose in the nook of my neck. “That shit got my dick hard as fuck baby.” He kissed and nibbled on my earlobe. Fighting back the strong urge to fuck him, I found my strength.

“Well, it’s gone stay hard, get your things. I’m taking you out on a date today.” I planned on taking Ream out to the rooftop then to a big chess tournament. It sounded boring but after Rellianah explained that Ream loved playing in chess tournaments I found one and got his name on the list. He already had jewelry and cars, big houses, and anything he could ever want. He worked twenty-four seven so I figured the best I could do was take his mind off work and make him feel special by tending to him and a way he probably never had.

“Lead the way baby.” I smiled and stood up holding my hand out. We walked out of his office holding hands. This was actually going to be interesting. We opted out of taking my car and had his driver take us to one of his favorite restaurants first. I sat cuddled under his long arm as he caressed my left shoulder. Looking down at my rings, the pink one stood out maybe because of the pink in it.

“You were supposed to tell me what this pink diamond meant.” I looked up at him as he smiled down at me.

“It’s a promise for my baby girl. I promise that she’s going to be perfect, and I’m gone be a damn good father. You got to trust a nigga and know that we both new to all of this but I’m ready for it all.” My stomach clenched tight at his revelation.

“Ream, I’m not pregnant though.” I reminded him.

“I know that you will be though, and you probably are now. This week gone be your last week smoking cigarettes and drinking liquor. Don’t give me that twisted look, you still letting me fuck you raw and I don’t pull out. We gone be parents soon and I’m excited as hell.” I rolled my eyes hard as hell at what he was saying and remained silent for the rest of the ride in deep thought. I couldn’t be mad at what he was saying because he was telling the truth. Each time Ream entered me we didn’t use protection and he never pulled out. Now, I hated myself a little for even getting the first abortion. I made a vow to never run and take the easy way out of a tough situation and act off emotion alone because now it felt like I was double backing.

If I wasn’t already pregnant, I planned on making Ream start wearing protection or pulling out. I wasn’t about to risk becoming a mother to soon especially after aborting the first baby.

“You sitting under me, all in your head. As a reminder, I ain’t about to switch up how we been fucking. If it ain’t meant for you to carry my seed again then that’s fine. Just keep in mind you owe me a kid.”

Chapter Fifty-Two

HAKEEM

Sitting in my kitchen pissed off, I texted Lori cursing her ass out. She gave me the recipe on how to make chicken Alfredo and the shit end up burning bad. I was hungry and needed something to eat so I end up ordering something from the Cheesecake factory. I definitely had to come up with better cooking skills than what I had. Today was Sunday, mid-evening. I’ve been running around all week and today I just wanted to kick back and chill. I didn’t feel like calling up any female to laying pipe. I wanted to enjoy my house and get my money’s worth for the high-ass mortgage I paid. Getting up to dispose of the food and clean up the mess I made. I flopped down on the couch and turned the tv up. Football was on, breaking down some weed and rolling it up, I kicked back until I heard my doorbell ring.

Frowning up because I had to get up out from being comfortable on the couch. I went to open the door knowing Lori’s ass wasn’t popping up at my shit after I told her I had wanted to chill alone today. Lori was cool as fuck, a good ass friend and fuck buddy but I didn’t want her around me every single day. She was considered consistent pussy and kept my hair fly as fuck. Opening my door Kachella stood there with a bag of food, with a big smile on her face. I couldn’t even lie I was happy as hell to see her pretty face. Her perfume floating up my nose made me step to the side to let her in.

We said nothing as she sat the big bag of food down on the table and took the multiple containers out the bag. I picked up my phone and canceled my orders.

“You not gone put me out for just popping up at your house this time, are you?” I smiled and shook my head no as my stomach started to growl. “Based on the smell up in here, you need to start thanking me for bringing you some of this good-ass Chinese food.” She placed her hand on her hip and looked at me with an attitude.
