Love To Luv (13 page)

             
Well until next time my baby boy

Joe

             
What’s up with you? For me wondering where is this relationship going. It seem like you may think I am trying to push you into something you don’t want to be in. As I recall you said you was ready to take this a little farther. Now that we have, you trying to back out. Well that is a choice you have to make. You have a lot on your plate right now. So you may need some time to figure out what you want in life.

             
It seems as if you are trying to be happy or you just trying to continue to play games with me. I am too old to play games. I want someone to give me the same thing I am trying to give. Is that so hard to ask for from anybody? I rather you tell me the truth. It seem like that is too hard for you to do. You have been lying about some little shit. That I don’t need from anybody. If I fuck with you I want to be able to base our relationship on trust. If we don’t have that we don’t have anything. So if I can’t believe anything you say – how can I continue to go forward with this relationship?

             
You know what I think it is, you think that I am playing games with you so that is why you can’t except when someone is being on some real shit with you. That is too much for you to handle.

             
Instead you are sad just cause of what you went through with your last relationship. That is a chapter you have to close. Life goes on and don’t let that pass you by thinking you can’t be love anymore. Just open your heart up to me and Baby I promise I won’t break it.

             
If anything I should be the one that is afraid to open up to you just on the way you have been playing me.

             
But I am willing to take that chance by letting you hold my heart in your hand because that is how much I care for you. I will go through the pain just to be with you.

             
Well that is it for now.

             
Your
Husband, Joe

             
What’s up with you
Babyboy
? For me thinking about you and trying to stay
focus,
ya
-dig? But most of all I want to say thank you for sending me that money. I’m sorry I haven’t written you a little sooner.

             
I have been trying to call you all week. I have not been able to get in contact with you. What have you been doing that you won’t answer your phone? Now when I try the phone you have a block on it. Damn, dude made you do that to me. That is not for us. Plus, if I was that much on you, you should have told me that.

             
Enough of that, where are my pictures you are suppose to be sending me. I am really waiting to see you in whatever you are wearing.

             
Baby it hurt me to know that you don’t belong to me and only me. I guess if you are happy with the way it is then I have to be.

             
What up with you getting caught with two open rubbers? Damn you are getting your fuck on but that shit is going to stop once I hit them streets. Simply because you are not going to want to fuck no one else after I fuck you brain out. I am going to have that pussy so sore you are not going to be able to sit down on your ass for a couple of days. I know you are thinking, yeah right. You will find out.

             
Baby whenever you can do something for me I will really appreciate it. I want you to know this. I will never forget you for what you have done for me.

             
You were here when no one else was for me. You have gotten ghost on me a few times but you always seem to come back when I really need someone. I love you for that.
             
But like I said early in my letter, I’m focus and if the person I’m with
ain’t
focus then we are wasting each other’s time.

             
That is what that mean to me.

Fear

Of

Change

Undermines

Success

             
What’s up with you
Babyboy
?
For me, just sitting here rewriting this letter.
The reason for me doing this is after our phone call you made me come into my cell and look at you picture and imaging me fucking the dog shit out of you. My mind was so far on making out with you that I bust two nuts thinking about what we were doing.

             
All I know is that we started as soon as I reached your door. As soon as you opened the door I placed a kiss on your sexy lips. I walked you into the house still kissing your soft lips. After we entered the house I started taking off your clothes until I had you in your b-day suit. I started sucking on your neck real soft. As I’m doing that you are moaning. Now I know I have your full attention. From your neck to your ear lopes, sucking each one of them. After that I started placing kisses on your chest, licking your nipples and biting them lightly. By this time my dick is rock hard. I ask you to feel how you have me. As you touch my dick you are like uh . . . so I know you love the feel of it.

             
You started to unbutton my pants to release me hard manhood. As my dick is standing in full attention you are amazed at the size of it. You start to stroke it but I have been gone so long that I’m about to cum everywhere just by the touch of your hand on it.

             
You ask me to lay back and not to be nervous and that you had me. You started to kiss me and my chest until you got to my dick. After you made it there you lick the head of it before you place my dick into your mouth. You suck my dick so good that you had me telling you how much I love you. Shit now I have the back of your head telling you to suck my dick just like that. As you are still sucking my dick I have some Vaseline on my finger and I am playing inside of your tight but wet asshole. You are really into sucking my dick. Simply because you love the way I am playing inside that pussy.

             
Now it has come to that time I am about to nut. I guess you can tell because you’re sucking my dick like you can’t wait to taste my sweet cum. After you drink my every drop I ask you “did you like that?” You said yes. Now I am ready to fuck the hell out of you but not before I taste that pussy.

             
I lay you on your stomach and I place kisses down your back until I could place kisses on both your light brown cheeks. I parted your ass and kiss your asshole before I started licking it and tongue fucking your tight ass until you are
loving
every minute of it. You tell me you are about to cum but I can tell by the way you back your ass on my tongue asking for me to stick it inside of you further.

             
After I bring you into your climax I slide up from between you sweet ass and I place me dick inside of your ass real slow until my whole 9 inches of black dick is all the way in there. I start to fuck you hard but soft. You are in outer space not thinking about how good this dick feel inside of you. I am fucking around in your tight ass. I tell you how good that ass feels on my dick. I have been waiting on this day forever.

             
I have you by your shoulders and I am ramming my dick in and out of you until I bust another nut. I roll you over and kiss you. I tell you I love you.

             
Baby before I go I need a couple of more dollars. My CD player tore up and that is going to cost me $60.00 but whatever you can do for me would be better than nothing.

             
Love,

             
Joe

PART II

             
It was the beginning of Christmas break.
At 10:42am on a December morning, most of the precipitation that was falling was rain, with mixed in sleet pellets. However, temperatures at last check are starting to slip to about 33 degrees. Right now, if snow does start the total accumulation may range from a dusting to a few tenths. Again that is assuming it changes over quickly.

             
Jeremy was asleep in the twin bed at Ian’s house. He decided to spend his Christmas Break with Ian. Things at home just weren’t right. Jeremy rolled over to feel something hit his face. The sounds of a quite room awaken him. Jeremy sat up in the bed to stretch and yawn. He looked around the room to himself alone. He rose from the bed and tuned the TV to the morning weather. Jeremy was hoping that it would be a slight chance of snow.

             
Tevin
Campbell was one of his favorite singers. He popped in the “T.E.V.I.N.”
CD to hear his favorite song,
“Tell Me What You Want Me to Do”
while he brushed his teeth and took his morning shower.
The music was blasting from the room. Ian walked into the room to turn the volume down.

             
Ian walked into the bathroom to tell Jeremy that breakfast was ready when he came down. Ian had made waffles, bacon, eggs, and toast, with orange juice. He aspired to be a chef one day. He was always watching shows on
Food Network
.

             
Jeremy raced downstairs to the kitchen to find two plates on the table. Ian met Jeremy with a smile. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was near, he gave Ian a kiss that made him tingle.

JEREMY

My baby fixed me breakfast.

IAN

Well I have to keep my man happy.

JEREMY

Where is your mom and sisters?

IAN

Mom is at work and my sisters are gone Christmas shopping.

JEREMY

So we can play house.

Ian went over and sat on Jeremy’s lap. He threw his arm around Jeremy’s neck and rubbed in his hair.

JEREMY

Baby your food is going to get cold.

IAN
So
, you don’t want me on your lap?

JEREMY (joking)

Not on my lap. Maybe somewhere around my...

IAN (jumping off of Jeremy’s lap)

Boy you stupid.

Ian walked over to his plate and started a discussion about Monique and Teddy’s marriage.  Ian was very supportive of his best friend’s, Monique, decision. Ian mentioned that he was going over to check on her today.

Jeremy made a suggestion that they go Christmas shopping first and then stop by together.

__________________

             
Since the marriage, Monique and Teddy were living with me. Marcus decided to move back to Colorado to reconcile things with his ex-wife now that she was back in rehab.

             
It was a slow start for Teddy. He walked around as though he was on egg shells. Nineteen, a husband now, a baby on the way, and living with his father-in-law, he wanted to make everything ok.

             
Life for him had changed tremendously. He no longer would have a Christmas break like his friends. He was preparing for his job that Jacob connected for him. Teddy would be working for a TV station as a Broadcast Technician. Teddy was very computer savvy. He worked well under pressure, was able to adapt to multiple changes with expert competency, and had the ability to multi-task with a high degree of accuracy. This made him a great candidate. He would do this part-time when school was in and full-time when school was out.

             
Monique still had her job at the hospital as an Admitting Registrar where she p
romoted the successful operations of the Admissions and ER by conducting customer oriented registrations processes, while concurrently supporting the roles of Financial Counselor, Concierge, and Scheduler.

             
Teddy left for work while it was Monique’s day off. She decided that she would go buy a few Christmas gifts and some things for the baby. She and Teddy exchanged kisses and she wished him a good day at work. Marcus and I bought Teddy a car so that he could get to work.

             
Monique was at the mall when she spotted Ian and Jeremy. She went over to them and gave them a big embrace.

MONIQUE

What are you guys up to?

IAN

Just picking up a few gifts.
How are you?

MONIQUE (patting her stomach)

We are good. I went to the doctor Friday after school and told me everything was going good.

JEREMY

That’s good to hear. When are you
due
?

MONIQUE

May 16
th
.

JEREMY

Cool. So where is Teddy?

MONIQUE

He is at work. Pop got him a job last week at the TV station.

IAN

That’s what’s up.

JEREMY (cutting his eyes at Ian)

Someone was supposed to be helping me get a job but I haven’t heard anything.

IAN

So
Moni
, are you excited?

MONIQUE

As much as to be expected.
I am scared for the most part.

They decided to go eat at Rio Grande Mexican restaurant. Rio Grande was always crowded but the food was excellent. Monique was concerned that it might give her heart burn but she was willing to make that sacrifice.

             
Ian and Jeremy ordered a “Mexican Flag” cocktail while Monique ordered tea. Jeremy ordered a
Steak a la
Tampiqueña
(
New York Steak grilled with potatoes, green onions, tomatoes, and a cheese enchilada). Ian ordered
Carne
Guisada
Steak cutlets grilled with onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and spices.
Served with rice, beans, garnish and corn or flour tortillas, while Monique ordered a Spicy F
ajitas Supreme (
A combination of shrimp, beef and chicken freshly grilled to order with fresh tomatoes, onions and bell peppers with our secret flavoring and spices) that is served with rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream and corn or flour tortillas.

             
Monique heard her phone message. It was a text message from Teddy saying that he loved her and missed her. There came that girlish smile across her face.

MONIQUE

My honey loves me.

IAN

Isn’t that sweet?

JEREMY (jokingly)

I think that it is sickening.

MONIQUE (laughing)

Don’t hate.

             
Aretha was at Dennis’ office to sign the final documents to turn all of Edgar’s estate over to her. He debriefed her more on the property in New Orleans.  He reiterated that there was no mortgage on the condo but there was on the house where his mistress lived.

             
Aretha thought about the times that she once lived in the house. It was a moderate three bedroom two bath house. She remembered all of the backyard bar-b-
ques
that they had doing the summer months. Edgar’s band would come over and they would rehearse many nights. Tears begin to form in her eyes as she reminisced.

             
As Aretha was looking over the floor-plan of the condo she suggested to Dennis that he go with her to actually see it. He checked his calendar and told her that he was free at the end of the week.

ARETHA

Well since you know my nephew why don’t we make this a family
event.

DENNIS

That may be a good idea but I don’t know Jacob’s schedule.

Aretha pulls out her phone and text me.
“Dennis and I going to New Orleans at the end of the week, would you care to join us?”
I quickly replied,
“Yeah sure.”

             
Aretha told Dennis that I would be able to make it. Dennis told her that he would get his secretary to make the reservations.

             
Aretha put the papers in her leather Attaché Case. Her face was filled with delight about her new property and the weekend trip.

             
The outside weather was breezy and cold but to Aretha it felt like a
Spring
day. When she got into her car she called Mattie to see if she would like to join them on the trip. Mattie quickly obliged. She reminded Aretha that there was a big concert in New Orleans this weekend. It would be Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Jennifer Hudson, Marsha
Ambrosius
, Charlie Wilson, and Con Funk Shun. Aretha told Mattie to meet her at her house in twenty minutes.

             
Aretha pressed a picture of me on her phone.

JACOB

What is going on Auntie?

ARETHA

Papadopoulos, Mattie said that there is a concert going on this weekend in New Orleans. Would you like to attend the concert with us?

JACOB (without asking who was going to be there)

Yeah, sure.
How much are the tickets?

ARETHA

Don’t worry about that I got you.

Aretha sped down the highway to get home. She was so filled with joy that she did not know what to do with herself.

             
I drove straight to the Omni Royal Hotel in New Orleans. It was an
award-winning four-diamond hotel. Mattie was in awe by the beauty of it. Dennis walked to the front desk to check-in. It wasn’t long before he returned with several card keys. He passed everyone a key.
Dennis told the kids that they would be sharing a room. Monique, Teddy, Jeremy and Ian all tagged along since they were on break from school and was off work for the weekend.

JACOB

Once we get settled in I want us to go the Rib Room. The food there is killer. Auntie, you and Mattie will have to try their famous
Washbucket
Martini. After two of those, you might need a nap.

MATTIE

I am not trying to take a nap but I will have two maybe three.

ARETHA

Can you be any more of a lush?

MATTIE

I don’t know but I will try.

ARETHA

I have got to go pick up the tickets from the box office.

JACOB

You could have printed them online.

ARETHA

I know but I wanted to have the actual ticket. I might get some autographs on it.

JACOB

Ok Auntie.

They piled into the elevator to head to their floor. All the room reserved was adjunct to each other. I reminded everyone to be ready to go eat in one-hour.

As Monique and her friends entered their room Ian went directly to the window. He noticed the pool outside.

IAN

If it weren’t so cold outside
I
would get in the pool.

JEREMY (walking up behind Ian)

Maybe do
a  little
skinny dipping.

TEDDY

You guys need to stop.

JEREMY

Don’t
hate cause y’all an old married couple now.

TEDDY

Our flames are still lit. Isn’t that right baby?

MONIQUE

Exactly.
They just upset they can’t get married.

JEREMY

If we wanted to we can. I don’t give a damn about a law. Marriage is more than a piece of paper. I can vow to him right now. But I won’t because he
ain’t
ready.

Ian looked at Jeremy with a squint in his eyes. He wondered if Jeremy was just talking or was he being serious.

MONIQUE

How about tonight we go to the
Rooftop observation deck to overlook the French Quarters.

TEDDY

Sound like a winner to me.

Ian and Jeremy went to take their shower while Monique and Teddy settled in.

I laid out my Ralph Lauren Cole Wash jeans with a
Striped Poplin shirt before I went in the bathroom to shower for dinner. Dennis pulled out his web tablet to check his email. I tried to convince him not to do any work this weekend. Relax and enjoy
himself
. Those two words did not always fit in his life.

             
It caught me off guard to find Dennis walking around the room naked waiting his turn in the shower. I noticed on the table that he had written out an agenda for that day.

             
I quickly dressed and called everyone to see if they were ready. Aunt Aretha told me that she Mattie was downstairs at the bar trying the
Washbucket
Martini. I told her that was to go with her lunch. She insisted that she would have one with her lunch also.

             
After lunch and several drinks Dennis, Aretha, Mattie and I got into my truck to go and look at the condo while Monique and her friends walked the
RiverWalk
. It took us about thirty minutes to get to the condo.

             
Dennis looked through his papers to make sure that he had the right property. After verifying it, he passed Aretha the keys. Aretha smiled so hard that she looked like a virgin that had just lost her virginity. 

             
Aretha put the key into the lock and turned it. Once opened, we were amazed how beautiful it was. Dennis and I walked towards the bedroom areas while Aretha and Mattie walked into the kitchen. Admiring the beautiful decorated rooms we heard arguing and items being broken.

             
I looked at Dennis and we both took off running. Once in the living area we saw that Mattie had young lady that was in her late twenty’s in an
Indian Death Lock wrestling move while Aretha was punching her in the face.

             
I quickly grabbed Aunt Aretha arms but she pushed me over a table. I was hoping that it was accidental. Dennis grabbed Mattie by the waist and tried to pull her from the young lady. After I gained my composure I took another chance to grab Aunt Aretha. I just knew that we were getting ready to go to jail.

             
I got Aunt Aretha and blocked her in the corner. I asked what was going on.

ARETHA

That’s Avis, the bitch that took my husband.

AVIS

I didn’t take shit. Edgar wasn’t happy with you. I made him feel like a man.

Aunt Aretha pushed me off of her and ran towards Avis. Avis went screaming behind the island. They were running around it like little children playing. Mattie was yelling, “Get her!” Dennis would not let Mattie off the couch. He kept pulling her arm.
