“I don’t mind really. I think you two are so cute together.”
“Well that went pretty good.”
“Yes it did. I was really nervous, but it was all pretty relaxed. Did he say anything about me?”
Meeka laughed with his earnest question. She could tell that Rick was worried and she was happy that he seemed to care. Malik did like him and that made her feel a whole lot better about the situation. Now she wondered if he would stay? Meeka had never brought anyone else around her kid and she was worried that he might get attached and then her and Rick wouldn’t work out. That was her biggest fear, that her son would be somehow hurt by her love life. That is why she had not really even considered dating before. But he was different, she kept telling herself. She could not see herself with anyone else but him.
“He said that you were really nice, though I think the video game sealed the deal.”
“When in doubt, bribe them huh?”
Meeka laughed at the comment, but knew that there was some proof to his observation. Kids like gifts and giving them one like that will definitely give him the upper hand with a child. It showed him that he cared, even though it was just a toy. It was the thought that counted and Meeka was touched that he would have thought of it.
“So do you want me to go home now so you can get some sleep?”
“No. I was hoping that we could spend some time together for a little bit, unless you want to go of course.”
“Can we, with him here?”
“He is sleeping and there is a door on my room.”
“But can you be quiet, you are quite loud?”
“I can try.”
The couple snuck into her bedroom and when she shut the door, Rick was kissing her and pulling her to the bed. She moaned softly when he started to undress her as she looked up at him from her lying position. He was still just as gorgeous as when they first met and each time they did anything, she was wet before he ever touched her. Just the idea that they were going to be intimate was enough to get a flood of liquid from the woman.
He kissed her neck when she was naked below him and his mouth felt amazing on her sensitive skin. She mewled softly when he moved lower to take one of her peaks into her mouth. He was quickly moving lower onto her body and her hips raised up to urge him lower. His mouth licked a trail of want down her stomach and then bit her gently on her hip. Rick seemed obsessed with touching her and he almost always wanted to lick her first. Never being one to turn it down, she watched with glazed eyes as he moved lower, closer to where they both wanted him to be.
The first taste of her wetness brought a growl to the man’s lips and it excited Meeka. She loved the sounds he made. While he liked to bring up how loud she was, he too, made some pretty crazy noises, though he seemed a bit more constrained than she was. She started to moan as his tongue found her little nub and her body jerked up towards his hot tongue.
“Now Meeka, you are going to have to be a little quieter.”
She whimpered but shook her head in agreement. She did not want to wake anyone up, but it felt so good. As she neared her peak, she placed one of the pillows over her head and moaned into it. The cotton and stuffing muffled her noise for the outside world, but to Rick, it drove him wild. He loved her noises and he liked it as loud as she could manage. He knew when she made them that he was driving her mad and that stroked his pride more than anything else. The rush of fluid into his mouth was met with his own groan of pleasure and he added suction to his touch.
“Yes baby. God I love when you come, it taste so good.”
He continued his assault on her senses until she was pushing back against his chest. She was highly sensitive after a couple of orgasms and he knew that she was ready for penetration, as was he. As he came back over her body, her legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer to her core.
“I see you are a bit eager tonight.”
“I am always eager for you. My body misses you when you are gone. It craves your touch.”
Rick liked her words and he pushed himself in her in a rush. He had learned that she liked the sudden penetration and he had to admit, it was much better than the slow torturous plunge that he was used to. Meeka liked it slow for a minute or two sometimes, but the beginning and ending, she liked hard and fast which suited him just fine.
Her eyes closed with the sudden penetration and her teeth bit her lower lip to stifle her moan. Rick loved to watch her face as he slid in and out of her slower, watching her expressions as he brought her closer and closer to climax.
“I am going to really fuck you now.”
Her brown eyes opened and met his blue ones as he slammed inside of her, bottoming out in her tight snatch. It amazed him how tight she became after each time. She was always hot, wet and suffocating to her length, whether he had sex with her once or ten times in the same night. Rick was also amazed at how hard she made him and how quickly he could be ready again. He had not been able to perform this well since he was in college and he knew that it was because he was just so smitten with her.
Rick’s hand slid over her mouth and his hips started to piston inside of her quickly. Each thrust inside rocked her body up and Rick had to hold her in place by grabbing her thighs into his arms. The lack of a muzzle for her mouth left her trying her best to not make any noises, but the smack of their bodies was just as loud. Her eyes fluttered and he could feel her body tightening up underneath him. She was winding up and her release was always so powerful and full of energy.
Her thighs tried to squeeze together, but he held them open as he slammed in and out of her. He released them when he started to feel her essence flow around his shaft and his fingers played with her already tender clit. Meeka bit her lip harder, trying to squelch her sound, but Rick could hear her whimpering underneath him.
His body covered hers and their lips met. She kissed him with such passion as he continued to move inside of her. Rick’s movements were slower, but he bottomed out with each push in.
“God I love you Meeka. You were made for me.”
He was close to his own end and he started to pump his creamy whiteness inside of her. Her insides contracted around him, milking him dry. When Rick was depleted he laid on her for another couple of minutes before he rolled over and pulled her next to him.
He held her in his strong arms as she fell asleep. She had told him that she didn’t think Malik was ready for him to be there in the morning, but Rick found himself dozing off next to her. When he woke up early in the morning, he slid back inside of her for another mind-blowing session and then slipped out while she went back to sleep for a few hours.
Chapter Fourteen
Meeka was having a really good day. Ever since Johnny had seen her with Rick at her job, he had started to be nice to her. She wasn’t sure why, but it was just one less stressful aspect that she had to deal with, so she would take it.
“Meeka, you can go ahead and go if you want to. It has died down and I know that you haven’t left early in a while.”
“I will. Thank you Sir.”
He looked at her with a little desire in his eyes and to be honest, he wasn’t a bad looking guy. Before it was just his attitude that had made him so ugly, but now she could see the charm that the others had seen. He was quite handsome when he wanted to be, but Meeka still had eyes for Rick. She gave him a smile and finished her side work. About ten minutes later she was out the door and jumping into her car. With a couple hours before her son got home from school, she decided to treat herself to a little shopping. Johnny was giving her better shifts and better stations at work, so she had found herself with a little extra money to play with the last couple of months.
There was a lingerie store a few miles from her job that she wanted to check out. Rick liked her in anything, but she still remembered his darkened eyes when she had worn that teddy the first time they were together. While they hadn’t been able to finish then, she really wanted to go get something special for their long-standing Thursday n
ight date. Her mother had started watching Malik every Thursday and then Rick would come over for dinner every Wednesday night when he got off of work. It was a great schedule and she wanted to add a little spice to the mix.
Meeka was just about to turn down the side road when she heard a screech of tires and then felt an impact on her door. Her head was knocked against the metal door frame and everything went black.
Chapter Fifteen
“Ms.? Can you tell me your name?”
Meeka looked up with blurred vision and could see bright lights above her as she was moved down a hallway. There was a man inches from her face that she didn’t recognize, but she became aware that she was in a hospital pretty quickly.
“Meeka Brown.
“Meeka, you are in Feindland’s emergency room. You have been in a car accident. You suffered head trauma and we are going to give you a CT scan to make sure that there is no internal bleeding. You have a few other lacerations that will need a few stitches, but right now, we are just worried about your head. The doctor will be in with you after the test okay?”
Meeka shook her head, the screeching tire sound re-playing in her head. She grabbed the man’s arm when something came to her mind.
“Wait, my son will be home from school soon and there will be no one there. Can you call my mother to go meet him?”
“Of course Ma’am, just give me the number and I will call her right away. Is there anyone else you would like me to call, someone who can be here with you?”
“My boyfriend works here in the E.R., Rick Michaels”
“Oh you mean Dr. Rogers? He started going by his middle name a few years back, but here at the hospital we still call him Dr. Rogers”
When the man said Dr. Rogers though, her brain worked to remember where she had heard it. She didn't know if it was the hit on her head, or something else but It hit her suddenly and all of the court papers flashed in her head. Dr. Rogers was the one that she was suing for malpractice for killing her husband!
“No, never mind, I am fine. Just call my mother please so my son will not be alone. He is only six.”
“Yes Ma’am. The technicians will be right in with you.”
Meeka’s mind raced and through the pain, her eyes started to water. She was not crying for her whole body that was screaming with pain, but her heart because it was slowly breaking. She was in love with the man who let her husband die while he worked on someone else. She was in love with the man that made it so her son would never have his father back. She started to realize too, that he either knew when he met her son, or he couldn’t even remember the name of the man he killed. Her thoughts went to the day Rick met Malik and how his face had went white as snow. Meeka knew in her heart that he knew and then made love to her that night. That hurt more than all of the other stuff did. And why would he start going by his middle name? Was he that ashamed of what he had done those few years back?
There was not a lot of time to think about it though. Meeka was wheeled into the room for the CT scan and she was asked a barrage of questions.
“Could you be pregnant Ms. Brown?”
Meeka stopped for a moment and she thought back to the last time she had a period. Another sinking feeling hit her. It had been over a month since she had a period. This day just seemed to be taking a turn that she was not ready for.
“I could be.”
“Well we need to make sure one way or another. There is a risk to a fetus, so you will know in a few minutes.”
The woman patted Meeka’s shoulder gently and the nurse brought in a test for her to take. When it came back positive, Meeka wanted to cry even more. While she loved the idea of being pregnant, the father was now a big problem. She was waiting in a small examination room for the doctor to come in.
***
“Rick, I think your girlfriend is here.”
“Meeka?”
“Yeah, Meeka Brown. She said something about you being here, but when I asked if she meant Dr. Rogers, she said never mind. Are you guys fighting or something?”
“We are about to be. Her husband is Malik Brown.”
Dr. Colins looked confused for a moment, until it dawned on him.
“The one that you are being sued about?”
“Yes.”
“She didn’t know.”
“No, but now she does.”
“Did you know?”
“For a little while when I met her son.”
“Man, I don’t know what to say. This was the one you were wanting to marry right?”
“Yeah. But she is never going to want to marry me now.”
“Do you want me to take it? She is in exam room 1.”
“Exam room, is she okay?”
Rick started to feel the constriction in his throat again.
“She was in a car accident. Head trauma and a few lacerations, but yeah, she is okay.”
Rick sighed relief. Even though she would probably want nothing to do with him, at least she was okay.
“No, I need to go. Thanks for letting me know.”
“You might want to know something else Rick.”
“What?”
“She just found out she is pregnant.”
Rick felt a surge of hope and happiness, but it was dashed away with the look on her face when he walked through the door.
Chapter Sixteen
“Meeka, are you okay?”
Rick went to her and hugged her to his body. She was stiff and after a moment, he pulled back to look at her.
“Are we speaking of my injuries or the fact that you killed my husband or that you knew and failed to mention it to me?”
Rick could see the look on her face and he knew then, that he had lost her. The light in her eyes were dimmed and she looked at him like she didn’t even know him.
“I can explain….”
“How about you just release me so I can go on my way? My son is at home waiting for me.”
“Are you going to let me explain myself?”
“What is the point Rick? I never want to see you again, period.”
Rick was crushed, but he tried desperately to keep his professional composure.
“Well Ms. Brown. Your test came back clear and you are ready to go home. I would suggest that you get to an OB soon to make sure that our baby is okay.”
Meeka gasped. She did not expect him to know, though he did have her file in his hand. His eyes were distant and she nodded to him before she walked out of the door. She held her head high until she was down the hallway and away from him. As soon as the double doors closed, Meeka burst into tears. What had started as a great day was quickly turning into one of the worst days of her life.
By the time she got a taxi home, her mother was worried.
“Meeka, what happened?”
Tamila touched the blood covered gauze on her daughter’s head.
“I got in a wreck. I don’t know what happened to the car. I just woke up in the hospital, but it will all be okay. Where is Malik?”
“He is in his room playing that video game. He asked if Rick was at the hospital taking care of you. He really seems to like this guy.”
Meeka started to cry again. Her mother looked at her weird for a moment and then hugged her daughter.
“What is wrong baby?”
“It was him mom. He is the doctor that let Malik die. He is the one our family is suing and trying to get his license revoke. Rick’s last name is actually Rogers, not Michaels”
Tamila’s mouth dropped and she couldn’t hide her confusion.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes mom and he knew who I was, but never told me.”
“How long has he known?”
“A couple of months, ever since he met Malik.”
Tamila was in shock and she didn’t know what to say. She could see that her daughter was very upset, but there seemed to be more that was upsetting her.
“What else?”
“How do you always know ma?”
“Because I made you. What else is wrong?”
“I just found out I am pregnant.”
“Oh my God Meeka! I am so happy for you. Aren’t you happy?”
“Not with all of this. How could I be with a man that took my son’s father away from him? Not to mention that he kept it from me, I will never be able to trust him again.”
Tamila held her tongue so much that it hurt. She didn’t see the point of saying anything because Meeka was not in the mood to hear anything. The mother knew when to let her daughter stew for a while. It was her process and Tamila had learned a long time ago to accept it. Where she would like to hash it out immediately, Meeka was more prone to mental shutdown for thoughtful reflection. She knew that her daughter’s mind was made up until she changed it.
Chapter Seventeen
Meeka ignored Rick as best as she could. At first he called multiple times and sent several text a day, but after a couple of weeks, the calls were once a day. It had been a few months since the day in the hospital and Meeka had still not changed her mind. She felt betrayed and as the child inside of her grew, she contemplated what she would do.
She had decided that she was going to need a bigger place and was actively looking for a small house. Passed the stage of morning sickness, Meeka was starting to enjoy the idea of another child, but the feeling was bittersweet without Rick. She thought of him mostly at night, with the day, she could stay busy enough to not have to think too much. Her body missed his touch so much it hurt.
Meeka knew that she had to speak to him eventually but she was not ready for the inevitable. She was just not ready to deal with it, but she was pushed into some sort of decision when she was going through the mail after work one day. The letter was thick and from her lawyer. When she opened it, she scanned through the documents and she couldn’t believe what she was reading.
Her hand went to her phone and dialed her lawyer’s number. She understood the paperwork, but she just didn’t quite understand what had happened.
“Gloria Stein’s office?”
