Falling For A Hood King 4

by Shvonne Latrice

  “I know, and I’m glad we are one another’s first,” I nodded and so did she. “I’m gonna get dressed so we can eat and go shopping before you go out with Natalia tonight.”

  “Okay,” she replied.

  I hopped in the shower and let the hot water soothe my muscles and mind. I needed to shape the fuck up and stop acting like a bitch. There’s no reason for me to be neglecting my girl and my little brother. I cleaned my body then got out to brush my teeth and get dressed.

  We pulled up to the restaurant, and I got out to unbuckle Lumar. Lucy chose to go to this restaurant named Cru Cafe on Pinckney Street. I was so hungry that I didn’t care what she picked at this point. Lucy walked around to my side of the car so she and Lumar could hold hands as we walked into the restaurant. She looked so pretty in a tight red summer dress that stopped a few inches above her knees. Her long dark hair was really straight and sweeping the top of her tailbone. Damn, I grabbed onto her freehand, and we walked into the restaurant like a family.

  “What do you think about me adopting him?” I asked after the waiter set our drinks down.

  “You sure you want to? Don’t we need to be married for that?” she cocked her head to the right.

  “Probably, but we could do that too,” I smiled.

  “If this is a proposal, it’s not very romantic,” she chuckled.

  “No it’s not. When I do propose though, it will be much more grand trust me,” I replied as I stared into her brown eyes.

  “Well, I think that would make me very happy.”

  “Adopting him or getting married?” I questioned.

  “Both,” she replied.

  “I love you Ms. Ouistin,” I rubbed her hand.

  “I love you too,” she blushed.

  “And you too man,” I pinched Lumar’s cheek as he held tightly onto a piece of bread.

  Lucy grinned from ear to ear as she watched us interact. I loved seeing her so happy, especially after all the traumatic events that she’d just experienced.

  Chapter 12: Natalia

  I couldn’t wait to step out tonight. It’d been awhile, and I needed it. All I’d been doing lately was being a wife, taking care of my babies, being nagged by my mother, and making sure my bakery was coming together. We also wanted to celebrate Lucy making it through, so we had plenty of reasons to make tonight happen.

  I stepped out of the shower, and wrapped my towel around my body. I walked into my room, and began to spread body butter all over my body while it was still damp. I stood up and stared into the mirror at my naked body. I saw my stomach was starting to grow a little, but it was still flat, thank God. I never wanted to be that pregnant bitch in the club, unless it was for good reason. As I rubbed the last of the body butter over my small breasts, I saw that River was standing in the room through the mirror.

  “River!” I yelped as I grabbed my robe off the chair in my room.

  “I’m sorry Natalia, I just had a question and when I walked in-”

  “It’s fine River, what was the question?” I panted. I really wanted to ask how long had she’d been standing there watching me.

  “Oh, your mother messed on the sheets and I just wanted to know whether or not I could just drop them in the washer?” she smiled.

  “Umm, where is Winnie?” I quizzed.

  “She’s eating lunch, should I ask her?”

  “No, no. Just throw the sheets away. We don’t want to keep them anyway,” I replied.

  “Okay, and again, I’m sorry Natalia. You have a nice shape by the way,” she said.

  “Girl, I’m nothing like those chicks on Instagram,” I joked although I was still a little weirded out.

  “But that’s okay. It works for you and Julius obviously loves it. I hear you guys going at it all day,” she chuckled.

  “Oh my gosh! I’m sorry. That’s probably uncomfortable for you,” I laughed.

  “No, it’s actually quite entertaining,” she nodded. “Well, I should let you get back to what you were doing,” she added and then left the room.

  “So how is everything with Rashad? Is he still being distant?” I asked Lucy as we sat in the VIP area of Ray’s.

  I’m guessing that Paula didn’t tell her cousin that she and I weren’t friends anymore, because he still hooked Lucy and I up. We weren’t twenty-one yet, but he still had bottles and juice delivered to us. I was slightly flattered because that meant I didn’t look pregnant.

  “Girl, I don’t know what happened to him but he switched it up. He seems to be back to normal and even a little better, she replied while sipping her orange juice and tequila.

  “That’s good! I’m so happy, because you deserve it,” I cheesed and then polished off the cranberry juice in my glass.

  “What about you? Is mom still annoying?” she questioned.

  “She is extremely annoying, but I think she’s getting worse,” I pursed my lips.

  “Really? Why do you think that? The nurse said it?” she quizzed.

  “No, but she told me she used the bathroom on herself in the bed,” I shook my head.

  “Damn,” Lucy replied.

  “And speaking of that nurse, I was putting body butter on and when I looked into my mirror, I saw her behind me watching,” I bucked my eyes.

  “What the fuck? What did you do?” Lucy chuckled.

  “I didn’t do anything really; we kind of just skated over it. She said she just came to ask me a question, but why would you just stand there as I’m rubbing lotion on my stomach and breasts?” I frowned.

  “I think I jinxed you,” Lucy laughed.

  “Why do you say that?” I furrowed my brows.

  “Because, remember when I said that Lisa chick liked you? I think you finally got someone who does want you,” Lucy raised a brow.

  “River is not gay! She told me she broke up with her man!” I shook my head in confusion.

  “Hello, there is a thing called bisexual Natalia.”

  “No, not River. She’s straight. I know it,” I said although I had no idea. I mean, she said she was just there to ask me a question.

  “Okaaay, but when she knocks you out with a vase and eats your pussy while you’re unconscious, don’t come crying to me,” Lucy joked and we both burst into laughter.

  Although I was laughing, I prayed that what Lucy was saying wasn’t factual. I had no problem with River being bisexual, but I did have a problem with her trying to be bisexual with me. Lord, if it wasn’t one thing it was another.

  Chapter 13: Julius

  I woke up and looked over to see my wife lying next to me naked. The sheet was only covering a portion of her body, leaving her breasts exposed. I removed the sheet from her body completely, and she didn’t budge. An evil smirk crept across my face, as I spread her smooth legs apart gently. I licked between the slit and she jumped.

  “Relax babe,” I whispered and she did.

  I sat her legs on my shoulders and dove back in. I was licking, sucking and slurping like it was the best thing I’d ever tasted; it was the best thing I’d ever tasted. She arched her back as I sucked her clit harder.

  “Mmmm, ahh,” she cooed as I squeezed her ass.

  I lifted her a little so I could slip my tongue into her hole much easier. She began to wind her hips slowly into my mouth, while calling out my name. She came hard as fuck, and her body jerked.

  “Juuuu,” she cried as I pushed her legs back.

  I picked my head up, and stared at her pretty, pink center. I pecked it lightly, and then dove back in. I slipped my finger into her, while I flicked my tongue over her swollen button. She rubbed her small hands across my fade, as she whimpered like a little kitten.

  “Babyyy,” she purred as she released into my mouth a second time.

  I licked her lower lips once more, and then planted a soft kiss on it before rolling off her. I got out of bed, and then proceeded to gather my things for the shower.

  “Where are you going?” she asked.

  “I h
ave to go tie up some loose ends with Bart before I leave to Indianapolis tomorrow,” I replied as I walked into the bathroom within our room.

  “How long will you be gone?” she questioned as she followed me.

  “Just three days. You know I’m gonna talk to you the whole time,” I smiled and she looked away. “Come here,” I said and grabbed her face to kiss her lips.

  She sucked on my bottom lip and then we wrestled using our tongues. I squeezed her plump ass then lifted her in the air. She wrapped her legs around my waist as we continued to entangle ourselves in a passionate kiss. I took her into the shower, and had her screaming my name for the second time.

  After Natalia’s and my shower together, I took her, Jackson, and Harmony out to breakfast. Natalia always became a little somber whenever I had to go to Indianapolis, which is why I made sure that I kept in contact with her most of the day. I called her every night as well, and we would talk for hours until we fell asleep on the phone.

  I was on my way to go see Bart. I told him that I wanted to meet at his office because I knew Skylar would be at the home. I didn’t have time for her thirsty ass, and I didn’t want to have to murk his daughter just because she was a hoe.

  “How are you Mr. Tate?” Bart smiled and leaned back in his chair.

  “I'm straight, ‘I’m just curious as to what you wanted to talk to me about?” I frowned.

  “Right, well the shipments are all set up for the days that we discussed,” he nodded and stopped like he was hesitant to continue.

  “I know that ain’t what you called me down here for. You could’ve text that,” I raised a brow.

  “Right, my mother is sick and I need to travel to Peru to be by her side in her final days. By saying that, you will have to communicate with my daughter, Skylar if you have any problems,” he half-smiled.

  “Phones work in Peru, what the fuck do I need to talk to her for?” I questioned.

  “They do, but I really want to focus on my mother man. Once your mother is gone, she’s gone forever,” he huffed. I know that’s right, I thought as my mind drifted to my mother, Tina.

  “What about your other daughter. Umm, what’s her name, Leah?”

  “Leah is not into this shit. I wanted a son but luckily, I have a daughter who is willing to work in my field and handle shit when I’m gone,” he chuckled.

  “Your wife?” I asked.

  “I’m not letting you near my wife. Look, Skylar can be very professional Julius. Ah! Here she is now,” he said and pointed to his door.

  Skylar walked in wearing the tightest dress I’d ever seen. She couldn’t even cough too hard because that shit would rip open.

  “I see my daddy has given you the great news,” she said flinging her long weave over her shoulder.

  “I will leave you guys to get acquainted,” Bart laughed and got up to leave.

  “Don’t be so uptight Ju, my dad will only be gone for a month,” she smiled seductively as she sat on the edge of the desk.

  “I’m all about my business and my money, so I don’t need you on any bullshit! Don’t hit me up for anything that doesn’t involve that work! If I even think you trying to throw that sour ass pussy my way, you’ll be the newest topic on unsolved mysteries,” I said through gritted teeth and left before she could say anything.

  “And you, I know what you’re trying to do and it ain’t gone work,” I spat to Bart as I passed him in the hallway.

  “Have a good day Julius,” he cackled and walked back to his office.

  It seemed like whenever a nigga was trying to do right, bitches wanted to fuck that up. I couldn’t understand why these hoes didn’t care that I had a wife. Back in the day, I would’ve been succumbed to her advances, but that wasn’t how I was living anymore. I would die before I gave Natalia a glimpse of the old Julius. I promised her that I wouldn’t hit her, which I don’t even see how I did in the first place, and, that I wouldn’t cheat. Nobody was gonna make me renege on that, no matter how voluptuous or sexy they were.

  Chapter 14: Natalia

  “Good morning baby, you have a phone call,” Winnie smiled and handed me the phone as I changed Harmony’s diaper.

  “Thank you Winnie,” I said as I tucked the phone between my ear and shoulder. “Hello?” I said into the phone.

  “Hi Nat, this is Sandra,” Paula’s mother replied. I bucked my eyes because I was scared of the questions she had to ask.

  “O-oh hi Sandra,” I slightly stammered. Be cool Natalia, I told myself.

  “Honey, I haven’t been able to get in contact with Paula for a little over a month now. I know you guys aren’t friends anymore, but have you spoken with her?” she questioned.

  “No, no. Paula and I haven’t talked since I came back from Noblesville that time,” I lied.

  “Oh yeah. I guess she has run off again,” she exhaled heavily.

  “Again?” I repeated confused.

  “Yeah, whenever she breaks up with a boyfriend she skips town for months at a time,” Sandra smacked her lips.

  It seemed as if God was on my side. I was happy that this was a pattern for Paula, because that meant there weren’t too many red flags.

  “Yeah, she and Rashad had a pretty bad breakup,” I nodded as if she could see me.

  “Yes, I know. Gabby misses her, but she gets used to Paula ditching her for long periods of time.”

  “Oh, I see. Well let me know if you hear anything. Although we aren’t friends, I still hope she is okay,” I said playing the concerned friend role.

  “I will honey, thank you. Kiss the babies and say hello to Julius for me, okay.”

  “I will,” I said in a low tone and then disconnected the call.

  I felt bad about lying to Sandra because she was a good person. But, her daughter was obviously disturbed and deserved everything that happened to her.

  I slipped into my bathing suit because I was gonna go for a swim while Winnie fed Jackson and Harmony. I kissed both of their chubby cheeks as I walked by them to the outside. I loved my babies so much, and they were the cutest little things. As I walked outside, I saw River crying into her phone. She was always in some shit, I said to myself.

  “River?” I said as I came up behind her.

  “Oh Natalia, I’m on my lunch,” she half-smiled and wiped her cheek.

  “No, I’m just making sure you’re okay,” I shook my head.

  “Yes, yes I’m fine. You look beautiful by the way,” she chuckled, as she looked me up and down in my bathing suit.

  “Thanks I guess. It’s just a bathing suit,” I shrugged and moved back a little.

  “Yeah but it fits you so well. I wish I had a body like yours,” she huffed.

  “Like mine? I wish I had a body like Amber Rose,” I joked.

  “No, like I said, yours is perfect. You have just enough of everything. Julius is lucky,” she said as she looked up into my eyes. Maybe she is gay! I thought.

  “Yeah, I’m lucky too,” I responded.

  “I didn’t wanna say anything, but he is very sexy!” she laughed and so did I. Maybe she isn’t gay, my mind switched gears.

  “Don’t be looking at my man!” I half joked. “But are you sure you’re okay?” I quizzed.

  “Yeah, I think I’m just feeling down. All I do is work, and then go home and cry about Cameron,” she exhaled.

  “Cameron?”

  “Oh I’m sorry, that’s my ex-boyfriend I told you about,” she nodded and smiled.

  “Right umm, Lucy and I are going to Julius’ club tonight, do you wanna come?” I offered because I felt bad for her.

  “Are you sure? I wouldn’t want to add myself to something I wasn’t invited to,” she replied.

  “I just invited you so you’re not adding yourself to anything.”

  “Then I would love to go. What time should I come back here? I have to leave once I’m done with your mother to get dressed,” she folded her arms.

  “Around 9pm is good.”

  “Alright, can’t
wait,” she squealed and then rushed back inside to tend to my mother.

  I swam for about thirty minutes and then decided to lay out with a glass of iced tea that Winnie had just made. As I was lying there, I felt a pair of eyes on me. I tried to ignore it, but I finally looked over to see River. She was carrying something, walking by the sliding doors. She glanced at me once more and then winked before walking away. You’re just paranoid Natalia, I told myself. As I got up to go inside and take a bath, my phone buzzed.

  Husband: Hey, just letting you know I’m still alive. I will be back tomorrow, but I need some pictures of you in the shower.

  Me: Okay lol. I miss you.

  Husband: I miss you too, and don’t forget the money shots.

  Me: Stop calling my vagina the money shot. Lol

  Husband: That’s what it is baby. I love you.

  Me: I love you too.

  Julius made it no secret that he used my pictures to jack off, and then he would delete them. I almost wished he didn’t so he could use the same pictures. I was more than happy to send them though, because it was better than him running up in some hoe while he was away.

  I took my bath and made sure to take some good pictures for my baby. I decided to put body butter on inside the bathroom, even though River had gone home to get dressed. Maybe I just didn’t know her well enough. Some people had weird personalities, and maybe she was one of them.

  I decided on a simple red Roberto Cavalli dress that hugged my small frame, and matching red stilettos. My hair was freshly pressed, and my mink acrylic nails were fresh too. I put on my jewelry then sprayed my Marc Jacobs Decadence perfume before leaving my room to kiss and tuck in my babies. When I came downstairs, Winnie let me know River was in the den waiting. I went to kiss my sleeping mother, and then walked to the den.

  “Wow Natalia,” River said in a low tone, as her eyes roamed my physique.

  “You look nice too,” I chuckled.

  She had on a black tube dress with black thigh high boots. Her short curly hair was hanging down, and she appeared to have on little to no makeup.
