I had been back in Lake Forest for ten weeks when I got the crushing blow. It was there right on the TV screen. Tonio was engaged to Cinna. No heads up, I had to learn about the engagement like all the other people. I cried to Lahasia. She didn’t tell me I told you so and she so could’ve. I really thought Tonio and I were going to be together. I should’ve known better. We had sex every single day when I was in Los Angeles.
He never gave me an explanation. He never even talked to me when I was back in Chicago. There was nothing at all until two weeks after the news reports. Then my cell phone rang. I looked at his name and instantly got pissed off. I debated whether I should answer but after sending him to voicemail three times I decided to cuss him the fuck out.
“What?”
“Did you change the locks?” How did he know that?
“Yes, I did.”
“On a house that I paid for.”
“Yes. I told you in the voicemail that I was changing the locks and stay away from me and to jump off the roof of a skyscraper. Not sure why you don’t understand it.” I had texted him and cussed his wishy-washy ass all the way out. He never responded to the text but I know he read the text and clearly, he listened to the voicemail.
“What the fuck is your problem?”
I refused to answer that. “What do you want Tonio?”
“I need you to open the front door.”
“Why?”
“To let me inside. My key doesn’t work. You changed the locks.”
Fuck! Was he really here? “No. You can’t just show up whenever you want to.”
“This is my fucking house. I flew all the way here from LA to talk to you. Open the fucking door.”
“Kelby, please don’t make me break the glass out of the door.”
“Fuck you.”
“Why do want to make me become violent?”
“How can I make you violent?”
“You know that you can make me extremely upset. You can also make my cock hard. There’s a long list of things you are capable of doing. Open this fucking door.”
I heard the banging. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! He was really at the front door. I jogged down the hallway and stood at the top of the staircase.
“Kelby! Open the fucking door!” I could hear him through the cell and faintly from outside the front door.
I inched my way halfway down the stairs. He was banging so hard the glass in the door started to rattle.
“Suck a dick!” I yelled out when I was on the first floor and just inches away from the front door.
The line went dead because I hung up on his cheating ass. The banging had stopped and I thought everything was all clear. He must have walked away. I was too afraid to check. Instead of banging I heard a loud crash and the sound of shattering glass. There’s no way he broke the glass out of the front door. No way! Yes, way!
He was inside and standing a few feet away from me. If he turned his face to the left he would see me standing at the bottom of the steps. I couldn’t run and I didn’t know if I should.
As I contemplated my next move, he noticed me. There was a fire in his eyes and I couldn’t do anything but RUN. I ran away from the stairs. I tried to make it into the living room but his body slammed into mine knocking me down on my face only inches from the bar.
I struggled to get up but he was too heavy. I was pinned down. He wasn’t moving and we stayed like this for at least a full minute. His body was pressed into mine. His crotch was wedged against my ass.
I pushed my ass into his crotch and rolled my hips in slow circles. I wasn’t sure why I was doing it. But his dick got hard real quick.
“What are you doing?”
I didn’t answer him. He knew what the fuck I was doing. I was pushing my ass on his cheating ass dick. His hands inched underneath me and he palmed both of my breasts in both of his hands. My nipples burned in his grip. He was holding them so tightly. The sleeveless tank I wore was about to be wrenched off my body.
“Fuck!” He moaned into my hair. “Pretty girl— what are you doing to me?”
“Get out.” I rolled into his hard dick. The friction of his jeans could’ve lit my little short shorts on fire.
“Fuck! No!”
My bare knees dumped the hardwood floor. They would be bruised very soon.
“Get out.” I moaned.
“Nooooo, I’m getting in.” One of his hands left my breast. He slightly rose off my backside to pull my shorts down and to pull his jeans down.
He groped my ass cheek to open my up. He pressed inside me easily because I was soaking wet. I wanted this. I wasn’t ashamed. I thought about the broken glass door. If someone walked up to the door they would see us on the floor fucking like wild animals. I didn’t care.
Tonio let me through my ass in a circle. I had as orgasm right away but I didn’t stop. I wanted more.
I quickened my pace and he was on the verge of coming. He slammed his fist on the hardwood. “Fuck!” I was so close and he was closer.
“Damn you. Kelby. Fuckkkkkk!” He came and I did too. He shook my entire body with the explosion of his cum. We were breathing heavily in tandem and after a minute he rolled off of my back. He was lying beside me staring up at the ceiling.
I stared at him. My cheek was wet and stuck to the floor. His hair was damp with sweat. He covered his face with his arms.
I stood and pulled my shorts up my legs. I looked down on him. He was lying there with his dick exposed. His jeans were at his ankles. I don’t know why I did it but I kicked him right in his side. I connected with his torso, right in the damn ribs. He buckled probably more from the shock than the pain. I really couldn’t physically hurt him. But it felt good to the shit out of him.
“Clean up that fucking glass.” I walked away leaving him with his pants down. I went up the back stairs.
CHAPTER 11
TONIO
I was back in town only two weeks later. Two weeks after that regrettable incident with Kelby. Sex was never really regrettable but I felt like a complete asshole afterward. I kicked in her front door and I’m still not sure why I did it. She kicked me and I’m not sure why she did that.
My mother was having her sixtieth birthday party at her home in Willow Springs. She lived only a few minutes from Daniel. Hopefully, I would get a chance to see Alex before I left. If my mother could pick him up I could avoid Kelby altogether.
My arrival was a surprise. I wasn’t supposed to show up and I changed my schedule just so I could celebrate with my family.
I arrived at my mother’s and was greeted by Curtis and his new girlfriend. I saw her on his Instagram page. He never told me about her. He rarely told me anything about his love life. I wouldn’t be able to keep up even if he did. It looked like he had been with this one for an entire month. Curtis never mentioned we were related. He didn’t need to use my name to get women.
My mother had loads of friends and the place was packed with people. The crowd was much older and didn’t care much about me. Her friends had known her for decades and they knew I was her son. They never made me feel like I didn’t belong.
I was mingling quite well when I saw her, Kelby. She hadn’t spotted me. I was clear across the room when I spotted her in a tight black dress and black pumps. She was standing next to Carla. I found my mother in the sea of people and hurried over to her.
“Ma, I need to talk to you.”
“Yes.”
“Privately.” I stepped aside to let my mother lead the way into the kitchen. She led me to a quiet corner. There were four caterers roaming about. They all recognized but went back to work after the initial shock wore off.
“Ma, what is she doing here?” I whispered even though I believe the staff couldn’t hear me.
“Who?”
“Kelby.”
“I invited her.”
“Why?”
“I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to. The last time I saw you two together you were all over her.”
“I’m e
ngaged now.”
“Yes, to someone I’ve never met.”
“You’re going to meet Cinna.”
I blinked but I didn’t miss the eye roll my mother gave me. “I don’t understand what’s going on with you and Kelby or you and Cinna. I’m just trying to stay out of it. I didn’t know you didn’t want to see Kelby. I’ve always stayed out of your love life.”
“No, no, it’s not your fault. I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t know you were on the outs with her. I wasn’t sure this engagement was real.”
“My engagement to Cinna is real.”
“Okay.”
“I’m always on the outs with Kelby.”
“Since when?”
“I cannot relax when she’s around. I am trying to get away from her.”
“You live in a different state. I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Why isn’t she home watching my son?”
“Alex is with the girl’s nanny.”
“I need a drink.”
“You need to talk the Kelby and stop running from your problems.”
“I don’t have a problem.”
“If you are sleeping with Kelby and engaged to marry someone else I would say that’s a problem.”
Shit! That’s more than a problem. “I haven’t been with Kelby since the island.” That was a lie. “I went back to London and I fell in love with Cinna. Kelby is upset. She thinks I lead her on or something.”
“She hasn’t mentioned it to me. She doesn’t seem upset at all.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that’s good. Maybe she’s moved on.”
“Seems like it. I need to get back to my guests.”
“Yes of course.” I watched as my mother left me alone in the kitchen with the catering staff. I was angry and not sure why. I left the kitchen and went right over to Kelby and Carla.
“I didn’t know you were coming.” Carla gave me a quick hug and I could barely reciprocate with Kelby standing by watching.
“It was last minute.” The tension swirled. Carla knew something was awry. Maybe because I hadn’t said anything to Kelby. Maybe because she hadn’t said anything to me.
“I’m glad you were able to make it. Your mother really wanted you here.”
This was uncomfortable and Carla wanted out. “I’m going to go find Daniel.” She walked away from us without looking back.
I was standing there looking at her. She was wearing makeup and I could smell her perfume. We locked eyes. She had a lot of emotions displayed on her face. The one that registered the most was grief. One minute it wasn’t there and then it was there. I could recognize that emotion. I was good at displaying it myself on the screen.
“What’s wrong with your face?” I asked a question that didn’t have an answer.
Kelby stared at me and then dashed away. I looked around the room to make sure no one was looking before I chased after her.
I caught up with her quite quickly and I was able to catch her at the top of the stairs. She was practically running from me. I span her around.
“Why are you upset?”
“I don’t want to talk about it.” She refused to look at me.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“I can’t breathe at this party. I thought I could but I can’t. I just need to chill for a minute then I can leave.”
“That’s rude. My mother invited you.”
“I know. I’m sorry. I will apologize to her tomorrow.”
“Kelby, what’s wrong with you?”
“Today is my mother’s— my mother died today. I thought I could be here and not think about it but I can’t. I have to leave.”
I didn’t know that. “Do you need a drink?”
“I can’t drink. I have to pick up Alex.”
“Alex will be okay at my brother’s. My mother said he’s with a nanny. Don’t worry about him. Get you a drink and take you home.”
“I can take myself home.”
“No, your not. There are tears in your eyes.”
She quickly swatted the tears that had fallen onto her cheeks. I reached for her forearms and she tried to pull away.
“Please don’t touch me.”
Those words only wanted to make me touch her more. She looked sexy as hell tonight. I wanted to touch her insides. The tears didn’t dissuade those feelings inside me. I embraced her. I held her tight enough to shift her bones. I had a bone myself. A huge boner that wanted more than this hug. My lips latched onto her neck and I sucked her smooth skin.
We were in the hallway, too out in the open. I slowly maneuvered her body into a bedroom. I closed and locked the door and put my tongue in her mouth. She tried to resist me at first but her body soon responded to mine and her hands roamed my back. I grabbed the hem of her dress and pulled out to her waist. I roughly grabbed one of her ass cheeks and felt her bare skin. No panties. No— a thong.
Why did two weeks without her seem like a year? Who gives a fuck? I did some magic and her thong disappeared along with cock. I lifted her feet off the floor and slammed her body against the wall. I buried my cock inside her and wrapped her legs around my waist. It felt good! Christ! She felt good! I was really aroused. My need overwhelmed my intelligence.
I was pushing my cock in and out of a place that I loved. My hangout spot. My favorite restaurant. My quiet place. My clubhouse. I could go on and on. My commitments and loyalties went out the window of a tall building when I was around Kelby. She made me crazy. She made me do crazy things. I was acting more and more like my father and I hated her for reminded of the similarities.
My brain felt one way, my heart, it felt another and my cock was possessed. It was hard to kiss her. Hold her up and fuck her at the same time but I was an overachieving and I managed to so them all with practice.
“Tonio. Tonio. Tonio.” She managed to moan my name over and over. I miraculously managed to hold on to all my sperm for at least a whopping ten minutes. I came hard enough to cry tear but I didn’t. I prided myself on being able to control my emotions.
I could control my emotions but when it came to Kelby, clearly I couldn’t control my cock. I took her home and fucked her two more times before I left for the airport the next morning.
CHAPTER 12
TONIO
SIX MONTHS LATER
I had a wedding date set in stone. I had just filmed another movie. I was living two separate lives. One life where I occasionally cheated on my fiancée with the mother of my son. Another life where I was happily engaged to one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. My wedding was highly anticipated. They called us CinTonio. Photos of us together sold for ten of thousands of dollars and our wedding would definitely make the cover of every major magazine.
Cinna Lawson would be the perfect wife for me. We would be a Hollywood power couple. She was the offspring of Hollywood royalty. She was beautiful, charitable, kind and sweet. She was all-American just like apple pie and baseball. Hollywood was all about appearances and she was what my brother Curtis would call a good look.
The lies came easy. I was an actor. Cinna met Alex once under false pretenses of course. Everyone in the family was briefed and agreed to say Alex was Curtis’ son. Cinna would never meet Kelby. That was off the table as soon as I realized my cock wouldn’t cooperate. I was going to take this marriage seriously and I wouldn’t sleep with Kelby after I was married.
I left my future bride in LA and got on a plane to Chicago after an Instagram picture sent me into a controlled rage. My cell rang while I was on the private plane. It was Curtis.
“What?”
“Bro, I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“I didn’t know you were still dealing with Kelby.”
“I’m not.”
“You were big mad when I told you about Ladell.”
“I’m not— big mad.”
“Where you at?”
“I’m on a plane
.”
“Where are you going?”
“None of your business.”
“Tonio Bolognio. This me bro.”
“Fine. I’m coming to Chicago.”
“Why?”
“I need to talk to her.”
“Y’all still fucking?”
“No, I’m in LA.”
“I didn’t know you were still fucking you babies mama. Bro, be cool. I would have never mentioned it if I knew you was going to jump on a plane. It’s my bad.”
“It’s all good. I’m good.”
“You not the kind to juggle multiple women. You do that one at a time shit.”
“Kelby is different. I don’t know. I’m done once I get married so it doesn’t matter. ”
“Okay. Come by and hang if you have time.”
“Yeah, I’m going to probably spend the night at your place tonight and go back to LA tomorrow. I’m going to need a place to crash after I choke the shit out of her.”
“Ah no. Don’t do that.”
“Later.” I hung up. I wasn’t sure if the call made me feel better or worse.
***
I arrived at her house five hours later. It was around two. I twisted the handle on the front door. It was open.
She walked down the steps.
“Hey, what are you doing here?”
“I came to see Alex.”
“You should’ve called. He’s at your mom’s house.”
I wheeled my suitcase in and left it at the bottom of the stairs. “What are you doing?”
“I was on the phone but I got off when I saw your rental pull up.”
“Seems like you made quite a spectacle out of yourself last night.”
“What are you talking about? She walked away and I followed her all the way to the kitchen.
“You were out on a date with someone.”
“No, I was at an event with my friend Kay and her husband.”
“The Instagram photo speaks volumes and you were with that guy. He had his arm around you.”
