Alton turned around slowly in his chair.
“Nadiah what are you doing here?”
“I came to give you what belongs to you Alton, all of me.” I responded as I cupped my full breasts and fondled them.
Alton didn’t seem shocked at all to see me. He looked at me with a lustful gaze and licked his soft, full lips.
“So you’re gonna act right this time?”
“Yes.”
Alton pushed his chair back from his desk and spread his long legs apart. He slowly unbuttoned and unzipped his slacks and rubbed the rapidly expanding bulge between his legs. Alton leaned back in his chair and unbuttoned his shirt.
“You sure you gonna act right this time?”
“Yes, Alton, I promise.”
“You’re serious? Do you really want me back or do you just want to have sex with me?”
“Both, I want you back and I want you to handle Miss Kitty the way that only you can.”
Alton stood up and stripped naked then walked around to the front of his desk and beckoned me over to him. His long, thick, erection expanded as he teasingly ran his fingers up and down its full length. He picked me up as if I were weightless and placed me on his desk. The simple display of his strength caused the floodgates of my passion to open wide for him.
He placed the first 2 fingers of his right hand into his mouth and wet them thoroughly. With his left hand he pulled the delicate lace of the lingerie aside and placed his long, moistened fingers into the warm, inviting softness between my legs. After sampling the sweet evidence of my arousal, Alton plunged his long, nimble fingers deep inside. I could no longer control the moans that escaped me. The deep thrusts of his fingers brushed against my G-Spot over and over, threatening to bring me to orgasm with each movement.
Slowly but surely I was losing the struggle for power over my own body. Alton showed he could still read my body and pressed his fingers firmly against my G-spot while simultaneously working my clitoris with his thumb. The pressure built inside my body until I was out of my mind with desire for Alton. I had to have him, all of him, any part of him. Desperately I grabbed his free hand and began to suck his index finger, which always drove him crazy.
Like clockwork, an earth shattering orgasm took control of my body. I literally cried like a baby as the tension flowed out of me. As I came down from the climactic high, Alton took my hand in his and guided it down to his throbbing phallus. The flesh was soft and warm, the pulse strong. As I clutched his generous manhood in my hand he leaned into my ear and licked the lobe ever so gently.
“So you gonna act right huh?”
“Yes, Yes Alton.”
“You want to be mine again?”
“Yes.”
“Let me hear you say it.”
“Alton, I want to be yours again. I’m sorry for everything.”
“Nadiah?”
“Yes.”
“As good as that sounds, it’s too late now. My heart belongs to someone else.” Alton whispered in my ear before pulling away from me quickly.
He ran behind his desk and jumped into his slacks quickly. It took a moment to grasp what he’d just said to me. As I stood there in total shock he quickly put his clothes on.
“What? Alton, you don’t mean that. You still love me. I know you do. I saw the way you looked at me. You know you want me. No woman can be what I was to you?”
“You are right about that. You were a combination of heartache, sorrow, and pain all wrapped up in one.
“As hard as your dick is, you can’t say I didn’t turn you on!”
“It wasn’t because of you. I just wanted to remind you of what you gave up! Ever heard that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure? Well, you treated me like trash but I am Rachel’s treasure now. I don’t love you anymore Nadiah. It’s over! I have someone who loves me and I will never go back to being miserable with you.”
“Fuck you Alton!”
“That’s not necessary Nadiah.”
“You made a fool of me! I’m gonna kill you Alton Allen if it’s the last thing I do.”
“So because I wasn’t weak like you expected you’re gonna threaten my life? You should know better than anyone how strong I am. I survived you for 7 years.”
“Strong huh? Your strength is why I needed another woman, to do things right!”
“You really will say anything to try and hurt me won’t you? I am secure in my manhood so it won’t work. Besides, that orgasm you just had from just my simple touch says otherwise. Get out of my office. I don’t want to see you here or at my house again.”
As I searched for my dress my anger increased exponentially. I felt like I could literally just reach in his chest and pull his heart out. My dress was nowhere to be found.
“I can’t believe you thought you could come in here, wiggle your ass, and throw some pussy my way and I would just crumble. I saw your reflection when you came in. I already knew you were there when I turned around. So while you tried to play me, you got played. Checkmate!”
That comment blew the lid off my pressure cooker of anger. I didn’t say anything I just slapped him as hard as I could.
It must have stunned him because he just looked at me for about 30 seconds. He didn’t say a word as his eyes and face grew red. I thought he was about to cry but he didn’t. He grabbed me and started shaking me. He drew his hand back to hit me, but caught himself. Instead he reached under his desk and pulled out my dress. He calmly opened his window, and threw my dress out.
“You bastard! You just threw a $1200.00 dress out the window!”
“Nadiah you are next.”
“You just signed your death certificate. I promise I’m gonna kill your ass. I hate you!”
“That’s it!”
“What?”
“I’m gonna teach you a lesson.”
Alton came toward me and flew straight past me to the door and checked the lock.
“I knew you weren’t going to do anything. I should have known better, you don’t have it in you.” I said mockingly.
He paid me no mind as he started running around the office like a mad man moving things and shuffling papers around.
All of a sudden he rushed around behind me and put me in a chokehold. Alton then dragged me over to the window.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m gonna put you out of your misery.”
“You’re gonna throw me out the window? Go ahead I have nothing to live for anymore anyway!” I said as I pretended to cry.
“Okay.” He responded as he lifted me in his arms and walked closer to the window.
His response caught me off guard. I had to think quickly!
“Alton put me down!”
“Stop kicking, I thought you wanted to go! I’m gonna give you what you asked for.”
“This fool is really gonna try to throw me out the window.” I thought to myself.
I began to panic because I knew I couldn’t overpower him. As I tried to figure out what to do he started laughing. Alton put me down and laughed hysterically.
“Oh man you are funny. I wish you could have seen your face. Your eyes were as big as saucers! Ha Ha.”
There was no way I was going to stand there and let him mock me. I got my pimp hand ready. Before my hand made contact Alton grabbed my wrist and swiftly spun me around and before I knew what was going on he’d tied my hands behind me.
“You never leave well enough alone. I think maybe I will do everything you did to me. I’ll start by throwing this glass at your head. Then, I’ll throw my keys so they land right about ….there!” he said as he poked his finger into my left temple. I can’t believe it. You have nothing to say Nadiah?” he asked me.
“Kiss my ass, Alton.”
“Shut up!” He said grabbing my face roughly.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m deciding how long I want to torture you before I throw you out the window.”
Alton had a gleam in his eyes I’d never see
n before. I remained silent because it was evident that I’d finally pushed him too far and he’d snapped. I quickly began to reflect on all the horrible things I’d done to him. I’d honestly put him through hell.
“Since you wanted sex I think I’ll have my way with you first. Then I’ll shave all that pretty hair off of your head cause it’ll only get in the way. Then I’ll start making little nicks all over that cute little body of yours with this razor blade and soak you down really good with alcohol. When the burning gets nice and intense I’ll set your ornery ass on fire. My last act will be merciful though. When I throw you out the window, the wind will cool the flames as you are falling to your death.”
“Alton, this isn’t you. I know you don’t want to do that.”
“Shut up! No talking. You don’t have my permission.”
Since I didn’t know what his next move was I played it safe and obeyed.
“Don’t look at me like that Nadiah.”
“Like what?”
“Smile when you look at me.”
“What?”
“I said smile bitch! A nice big one!”
As ridiculous as I felt I smiled like my life depended on it.
“That’s better. What do you think I should do to you? Give me some suggestions?”
“You should let me go Alton.”
I barely got the words out before he grabbed me by my neck.
“See, I allow you to speak and you say something stupid like that. Shut up and don’t speak again. Let you go? Why would I do that? I’m tired of looking at you and listening to you.”
“What are you doing?”
Instead of answering me Alton held up a roll of duct tape. He pulled a strip about a foot long off the roll, tearing it away with his teeth.
“What are you gonna do with that?”
“I’m gonna tape your eye lids open. Then I am gonna make you swallow some sleeping pills. Hahaha! Hahahahaha!”
As Alton prepared little pieces of tape, the gravity of the situation began to set in. I couldn’t even justify in my own mind why he should show me any mercy after how I’d treated him.
“Alton, I’m sorry. Please don’t kill me.”
“Why Nadiah? Why shouldn’t I? You tried to kill me. You tried to burn me up. Did you even know that the heat disabled the electric system and I was locked in that burning truck? If it hadn’t been for Zeke prying me out, I would have died.”
“I’m so sorry Alton. I was upset. I’m sorry about everything I’ve done to you.” I said as I began to cry genuine tears.
“You are scared now cause you know I have every reason to do any horrible thing I want.”
“Yes Alton, you have every right to be angry at me. I don’t know what’s wrong with me sometimes. It’s like I can’t control the things I do.”
“Nadiah enough with the lies. You can control it. You are just mean as hell that’s all. I am partly to blame because I spoiled you. All I ever wanted was for you to love me back and want to be with me as much as I wanted to be with you. My love blinded me. Even when I knew you didn’t love me, I tried to love you that much harder and prayed to God for a little bit of your love in return.”
“Alton you really did love me didn’t you?”
“More than you’ll ever know Nadiah.” Alton said.
“Nadiah, I did this for a reason. You are afraid now because you think I’ve snapped. I’m not gonna kill you, I never intended to. Don’t you know I could never bring harm to you? When you pushed me to the brink that last time I had to look inside myself and really evaluate things. I can never allow you or anyone else to take me to that point ever again. God lives too strongly in me to submit to your evil.”
“Will you untie me? I promise I won’t do anything.”
“Sure.”
Alton untied my hands and I kept my promise. I kept my hands to myself.
“Nadiah I can handle it. Although you can’t or won’t see it I am a strong man. Paige on the other hand deserves none of this. She deserves a mom and a dad. Nadiah you need to get yourself together. You will not run in and out of her life.”
Alton’s demeanor was calm, but chilling. I didn’t like the feeling that had come over the room. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt it, a feeling, and a presence. Instantly I went into defense mode.
“I don’t know what you did or what you are doing, but I don’t like it. It’s like you are doing voodoo in here or something.”
“What you are feeling is me being real with you. You will have to pay for everything you do whether it’s good or bad it’s divine order.”
“Yeah okay Alton, whatever. That religion stuff is alright for you but it’s not my thing.”
“Okay. I’ve said all I’m gonna say. Wait here while I go and get your dress.”
He had to really be comfortable that I wouldn’t do anything alone in the office. He left his briefcase, important blueprints, and everything in the office with me. It only took him a few minutes to go get my dress. I put it on quickly so I could leave.
“Nadiah?”
“What?”
“For all it’s worth you have my forgiveness and my apologies for anything I did wrong.”
I walked out without turning around. I was afraid to look at him.
As soon as I got into the car, my friend Joy called.
“Hey girl I got your message. So how you do you feel?”
“I’m good girl just figuring what my next move will be.”
“That’s good. I saw Alton a couple of weeks ago. I hate it that you two split but he looks happy. What do you think about the wedding?”
“Wedding?”
“He’s getting married next week. Didn’t you know?”
“No, I didn’t. Maybe he felt awkward telling me.”
“Maybe.”
“Okay, I better get busy on all my errands.”
“Okay girl talk to you later.”
Alton was getting married to Little Miss Light Bright huh? I had a surprise in store for him and her both.
Fourteen
Rachel Richards
When Alton and I returned from our trip, I went straight to work on the wedding plans. We could hardly wait to get married. It symbolized a new beginning for both of us. I already knew what I wanted so it didn’t take long for everything to come together.
I figured a month and a half was enough notice for everyone to make arrangements to attend when I set the date and booked the church. Once the booking was confirmed, I ordered the invitations. Everything happened so quickly that it was like a dream. God had put this wonderful man in my life just as I thought I was forgotten. Alton was a gift and a reward for dealing with Elias for so long.
Every day Alton came home his face lit up when he saw me. No words can explain the joy I feel to know undeniably that this man truly loves me. I feel it so much in everything he does, the way he touches me, the way he looks at me, just everything. Even the small things are big things. Like when I am in the kitchen cooking and he comes over to me and places his hand on the small of my back while he lowers his lips to meet mine in a gentle kiss. Or the way he brushes my hair away from my face, looks at me and smiles just because. I also love the way he holds my hand when we make love as he sweetly whispers his sensual praises into my ear. I get weak when I think about the way he holds my body tightly against his when I shudder in orgasmic bliss. He is my lover and my protector. I am free to love him without reservations.
We have a spiritual connection that creates perfect harmony between us. It’s almost as if I’ve been going through life missing a part of me and now that he is in my life I am whole. When I talked to Alton in the afternoon he sounded fine but as soon as we hung up a chilly feeling went through me. I didn’t want to be paranoid so I pushed it out of my mind. When Alton opened the door I could read in his face that something was wrong. He came over and kissed me on my forehead before sitting down.
“Alton when I talked to you earlier I got a funny feeling as soon as I hung up
the phone like something wasn’t right. I can also see in your face that something happened.”
“Your feeling was dead on. Right before I hung up the phone with you, a devil in a red dress walked into my office.”
“Oh don’t tell me, Nadiah right?”
“Yep.” He said and he laid his head across my lap
“What did she want?”
“She tried to seduce me. I played along for a minute to make her think her charms were working. As soon as she got all hot and bothered I told her that ship had sailed.”
“I know she didn’t take that well.”
“No she threatened to kill me, slapped me, then I threw her dress out the window. I made her believe I’d snapped. I tied her up then told her I was gonna torture her, cut her all over with a razor blade, pour alcohol on her and set her on fire before I pushed her out the window. You should have seen how scared she was.”
“I can imagine. She was probably scared shitless.”
“I don’t think she’s gonna change anytime soon though. Hopefully she will go on with her life and leave me alone.”
“It would behoove her to do that. Once you and I get married then she will have to deal with me and I will beat the hell out of her if I have to.”
“Wow baby just think next week at this time, we will be getting married. I can’t wait!”
“I am so anxious I might sprint down the aisle.”
“Well I’ll be waiting with my arms wide open to catch you too, baby.”
Life went on as usual for the days leading up to the wedding. It was a small wedding of about one hundred fifty people. Zeke and Jazz were groomsmen along with Alton’s friend Randall. The wedding party was a total of fourteen people including Alton and me. Nothing was forced or rushed. To look back on our lives just a year prior neither of us would have believed we’d even be together let alone getting married.
In my preparation I had to refrain from looking in the mirror because each time I did, I wanted to cry from happiness and didn’t want to ruin my makeup. Everything was perfect. The “I Do’s” couldn’t come fast enough.
Alton stood at the altar looking good, standing there so tall and resilient with his eyes on me beaming with pride. I could tell he was genuinely happy to marry me and I was elated as well. After walking me down the aisle, my brother took his seat in the front pew and the ceremony started. Finally after an eternity of pastoral anecdotes, we got to the “I Do’s”
