For a moment T-Bird didn’t say a word.
“So are you saying that Darnell and I don’t?”
Desiree realized her error in speaking just a bit too late...
CHAPTER SIX
Love To The Limit
“Cuz, I apologize and you’re right” Desiree continued.
"No one has the right to judge you or your feelings. Darnell may the one for you. Either way, I just want you to know that I’m here for you no matter what happens. You’re my cuz and I love you. I feel guilty enough knowing I introduced you. So I’ll feel even worst if things don’t work out.”
“Why do you feel that way? Is there something I need to know...something you are not telling me?” she asked.
“I don’t know.” Desiree answered. “I just think maybe you guys need to slow it down so you can make sure he genuinely wants you that all.You already know how the guys feel about him. JJ seems to think there something not right about him. I don’t know to be honest. When I look at him I don’t see anything wrong. I guess I have to accept that men think differently. They see things we can’t. Regardless, I want the best for you and have I ever steered you wrong?”
“No you haven’t.” T-Bird answered.
“Well, just trust me then and take it easy with Darnell. I’m still getting to know him and he works for me. Now getting back to Q, we promised to keep it quiet and not tell anyone. Until the time was right.”
“Oh Desiree…You just be careful yourself. I don’t want you to get hurt either. I’m just still having a hard time digesting you and Q really trying to be together. I would imagine by now Trey and JJ know about this so I can only give you my blessing. So did Q say when he was going to pull the plug on all his other women?”
Desiree smiled at the mention of other women.
“Don’t worry. I’m giving him time to do all that. Relax bebe, I’m not worried about a thing. The one quality I know we possess and got from our mammas is dealing with one man at a time, so Q better not mess up! For now let’s look at the positive.”
“Good point.” T-Bird answered. “In the meantime, I might as well go to the club and have a dance or two after all this. So you are in Phoenix huh?”
“Yes... matter of fact I am. I’m in my hotel room right now. Girl it’s crazy up here and these folks are trying to take the P out of party. I just want to cover this event and get out of here.”
“Well, be careful, you know it never fails, every time you have that many people in one town, something is bound to happen.” T-Bird said.
“You’re absolutely right and I’m sure before it’s all over, someone will be in the newspaper for being a part of something foolish. Q said he would fly up in the morning, so I’ll be fine. And oh, he did tell me about the dinner party on Friday that Carlotta’s hosting for her mother. Yes girl... I wish I could be there to make all of this up to you but when you come to Atlanta, I’ll make things right. I promise. The city will belong to you and things will not be the same.”
Desiree had no idea how true that statement really would be. Things were not going to be the same once the truth came out about Darnell. No one had any idea he and Lamar were actually living together.
“Well cuz, you know we can talk until tomorrow morning, but I think I need to get out and appreciate some night air and go to the club.” T-Bird responded.
After hanging up the phone, she got dressed and left to go to the Tea Pot. When she arrived, as usual, the guys were in the VIP booth and noticed her as she walked over to join them.
“What’s up guys! Is everything okay?”
“Sure T, everything is cool baby. What’s going on with you?” Trey asked.
“I don’t know right now. I’m still trying to figure that out. I would imagine by now you know that Q is seeing Desiree, since he’s already taken the liberty to proudly tell you.”
Looking at the expression on her face, Trey knew that was far from the truth.
“Hey let’s have a drink. It’s going to be just fine. Waiter can you bring another glass of Hennessey please? He asked.
“I’m fine. I’ve spoken to Desiree and I told her if she thinks this is a good idea, have at it. It’s not going to be my funeral.”
JJ smiled while extending his arm out for a handshake. “Sounds good to me. So what are you drinking again?” He asked.
The music was really pumping while the Latin DJ played all the latest Salsa hits continuing to pack the floor with couples doing the hustle. T-Bird prepared to go on the floor to do her own thing.
“Excuse me gentlemen but I came out to party tonight, so if you’re not dancing please let me get by.”
Trey and JJ just looked at each other while allowing her to maneuver out of the booth, waiting for a moment to talk.
“So what now?” Trey asked.
“Well, I guess some things we just have to deal with.” JJ replied. “I think we’ve experienced enough for one day.”
Trey shook his head in agreement. “I’m going to Carlotta’s place to spend the night, so I’ll call you tomorrow.”
T-Bird continued to dance, still trying to digest the fact that her cousin and Q were actually lovers.
___________________
Ten o’clock the next morning, Q was checking his planner and there was nothing pending on his schedule that couldn’t be handled by the office, as he prepared to leave for Phoenix. The only thing left to do was chart his flight plan.
By the time he arrived, Desiree was already out on another assignment. Not having the opportunity to talk to him that morning, she had to cleanse herself of all the negative thoughts. It was a matter of him not keeping his word to come to see her or willingly being with another woman. He knew he'd made the right decision as soon as his plane landed. With a car waiting, he called.
“Hey baby, what’s going on?”
“Well...Hello there lover boy. I was starting to think you wouldn’t make it. Where are you?” she asked.
“I’m just leaving the hanger trying to get to you. How far is my drive going to be before I get to the stadium, or should I just use this new GPS system in this car?”
“GPS is a good idea. You’re not too far away. Once you arrived at the front gates, I’ll have someone waiting to escort you in. Okay?”
“Sure baby, I’ll see you in a minute.” Q replied.
When he arrived at the stadium, Desiree was anxiously waiting, as he called back to announce his arrival.
“Baby I’m here. What should I do now?”
Immediately a van pulled up and signaled him to follow but not before the van doors opened and to his surprise, it was Desiree. At first glance, you would have sworn you were looking at T-Bird.
Standing there with a smile on her face she looked at him. “Come with me, I still have a lot of work to do but afterwards, we’ll be on my time for the rest of the night to enjoy the game or do whatever you’d like.”
Q just threw his hands up in there air.
“Hey I’m at your disposal. Handle your business.”
Immediately upon entering the stadium, Desiree went right back to work, continuing her interviews. She had the perfect seat for him, where all the sports commentators, faculty, media, magazines, radio stations or family members, were seated. When she was done, she returned to sit down.
“So where would you like to go tonight?” she asked, while grabbing him by the hand. Desiree was on the A list of all the events.
“I told you earlier I’m at your disposal. Wherever you want to go is cool. I’m with you.” Desiree decided to only go to one event.
When they arrived, Q saw one of his clients and they began to talk. Desiree sat and waited for him at the bar. His client looked at him then Desiree.
“Man, are you going to leave her all by herself? I think you better go and get her before someone else does..."
Q just listened and smiled. “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine. And just for the record, if someone can take her from me, she wasn’t mine in the first place.
Furthermore, when I walk out this door, I guarantee she’s going to be right beside me, no matter how many men are trying to holla at her.”
His associate just shook his head. “Now you see, that what’s I’m talking about. I like a man with confidence. I need to shake your hand because with all the money in this room, if she’s still waiting on you like that, then you’re right, she belongs to you.”
After the conversation with his business associate, he returned to Desiree at the bar where she was holding his drink. Q had to acknowledge that if he didn’t know by now that she belonged to him and with him, he never would. It was crystal clear, as he grabbed her by the hand for a dance. She wrapped her arms around his neck, softly talking to him as the music played.
“I just want to melt all over you. You know you can do whatever you want with me. I just love how you taste, all sweet when you’re in my mouth. And then when you’re on top of me...inside me...Mmm…” She licked her luscious lips for emphasis.
Q held her tighter while whispering back in her ear.
“Damn baby, I can feel your body getting hot and you still got your clothes on. Kiss my lips like you want me to take them off right now.”
Desiree was so turn on she began to get wet.
“I got you bebe. You want me to kiss them like this?” As she passionately pull his lips into hers.
“Baby, I think we better go. I’m ready to take this to another level.” He replied.
There was nothing more Desiree wanted to hear, those words to leave and go back to her room. As soon as they arrived and opened the door, Q picked her up and carried her inside and laid her on the bed. Without hesitation, he turned on the shower, then undressed them both. He gently yet urgently pulled her inside, allowing the water to bead across their bodies. At that moment, she was ready to do whatever he wanted, while leaning into his chest.
“You said you were ready to go to another level, so I want you to put that hard dick right in my ass.”
Q turned her around facing the shower wall, soaping her body thoroughly before sliding his dick into her plump ass. Slowing he began to stroke her.
“Are you sure you want it?” he asked while continuing. The sensation forced her to hit the wall with her fist, as the water fell on top of them.
“Yes, I want all of you.”
Within minutes Desiree let out a loud scream as Q began to cum inside of her. Simultaneously he let out a sigh as his legs buckled. All he could do was hold her tight as his heart began to beat rapidly, pounding against her skin.
Allowing the water to cleanse them, he guided her back to the bed with a towel in hand to dry her body. Desiree was completely drained as he turned her over and poured lotion all over her, massaging her until she fell asleep.
Just watching her all curled up inspired him to take the sheet and wrapped it around her as she attempted to put her arms around him, bringing their bodies together to end the night...
Much later that morning, they were awakened by the radio playing T-Bird’s new song (Can’t Wait Another Minute). Listening to her voice while half asleep provoked them to sit up in bed, as DJ Lock Down elaborated on her single being on the top of the billboard charts.
“Listen up everybody, here’s a new joint by a beautiful young lady I had the pleasure of meeting. Ms. Tamara, T-Bird Robinson, for all you music lovers out there. Yeah, yeah, I’m hoping we can get her in the station again and I heard she’s got a good show when she hits the stage. She’s taking the radio stations by storm with this banger, so if you’re in your whip this morning trying to make it home or to work, lean to the right on this week’s number one song.”
All they could do was smile, knowing their T-Bird was getting her justice as an artist.
Desiree laid against Q’s chest. She began rubbing her feet against his leg the same way she did the first time they met sitting at the table while having drinks with her cuz T-Bird.
“Bebe I know you have to go back to New Jersey to have dinner. So what time are you leaving?”
Q shrugged his shoulders in a gesture of uncertainty.
“I guess I’ll probably leave around 3. I’m sure that will give me enough time to get back and get prepared. I really enjoyed you last night and especially watching you fall asleep while I was massaging you”
“Um, um and the way you were working those hands just put me in a trance. I’m impressed.”
“You really think so huh?” Q asked.
“Oh most definitely. Like a cherry on top along with the sex in the shower.” She then walked up in front of him and kissed him right in the mouth.
“Just hurry back and we can do it all over again. But I have admit, I’m feeling some kind of way to be the only one missing at that dinner party. Can you please be sure to tell everyone I said hello?”
“No worries baby. Make no mistake they already know how disappointed you are to not be there. Come here and give me a hug.” Q said.
The tighter she held on the more she didn’t want to let go. Just looking in her eyes told it all.
“Do you believe I’m your woman bebe?”
“Of course I do.I thought that was already established? Baby relax. I told you I'm coming back. By the time you’re finish with your late night interviews, I’ll be waking you up for breakfast..."
Desiree just shook her head while releasinghim from her embrace, just standing beside the chair near the door, disappointment etched on her face.
“Well you better get going,” she said while attempting to sit down.
"I’ll be alright. I’ll see you in the morning.”
The reality of her emotions being revealed said it all about the way she felt about Q and nothing was going to get in the way. He pulled her out of the chair and hugged her one last time before walking out the door.
Q had some really big decisions to make. First of all, realizing he had to choose the woman that had already chosen him. Letting go of his harem of women or walking away to leave Desiree brokenhearted. The latter would surely bring revenge not only from her but T-Bird also. His test would be being able to walk away from the temptation waiting to provoke his will. He could almost feel that temptation headed his way.
With a good flight plan, he prepared to turn his engines on to fly back home to New Jersey, but not before identifying an incoming call. It was from Vita. She was one of Desiree’s staff members who'd came with her to T-Bird's release party. The moment she'd seen Q at the hotel, having drinks with Desiree and T-Bird, she hadn't been able to keep her eyes away. It didn’t matter that Desiree jad made it clear that he was all hers after hearing Vita mention his name. The attraction was immediate. Now she was calling his phone without Desiree being aware of it.
Not familiar with the number he decided to answer.
“Hello?"
“Hi... is this Q?” She asked.
“Yes it is. And who am I speaking with?”
"You may not remembered me. I’m Vita. I was with Desiree at your friend’s party.”
“I don’t think I recall.” He replied while still trying to remember all the women that came along with Desiree in her entourage.
“We were all at the hotel the next day, when you walked in.”
“Okay, yes I think recall seeing all of you. What can I do for you?”
“Is this a good time?” She asked.
“Well I was actually about to take care of some business. Are you available to call me later?”
“Yes, I can do that. I’m in New York doing an interview so that will be fine.”
“Fantastic, I have a dinner engagement to attend but after that I’ll be free to chat.”
“Perfect” Vita replied. “I’ll be sure to get back with you... say around 11 tonight?”
“Sounds good to me. Oh… and Vita. Does Desiree knowing you’re calling me?”
“Well um.. not really but I can explain when I call you back.”
The bait was now being placed in the trap for Q; he either was going to be available for that p
hone call from Vita or not. As for Vita, she was simply doing what a trifling bitch would do. She was willing to stab Desiree in the back and go after her man to satisfy her own gratification. It didn't matter that she was jeopardizing her job, career and friendship with her boss.
Unbeknownst to Q, when he landed, she was already in the bay lounge waiting. However, she wasn’t the only one waiting. There was one other guest and to his surprise, it was Octavia. She was sitting there reading a magazine article featuring his company as he walked up to both of them. Vita immediately stood up showing off the dress she was wearing. It was so perfect you would have thought it was painted right on her skin. The fabric was so shear you could see right through it displaying all of her feminine attributes. Unfortunately, that didn't stop Octavia from getting up also to speak her mind before Vita could say a word.
“Q, have you seen Trey? I’ve been looking for him and it seems he’s been avoiding me. I need you to let him know we have unfinished business.” Q just looked at her with a disgusted expression on his face.
“Octavia, what the hell are you doing looking here for Trey? You should be at his office not mine. Do you see him? He’s not here. You better get your ass out of here right now. I’m not like Trey. I’ll tell you just how I feel about yo trifling ass.”
Octavia was still fouine as ever. Regardless of how pregnant she was, all of her out-shined Vita. She then placed he hand on her stomach for dramatic effect.
“I’ve already been to his office and security won’t allow me in to see him. When you talk to him, let him know I’m not going any damn where. This is his baby and he’s going to pay one way or another. As a matter of fact, I’m going to court on his ass. You tell him that.” she said as she prepared to walk out the door.
Vita just stood there speechless while listening to Octavia go on a tantrum. All of the ghetto came out of her as she watched, which almost derailed her plans. She took a deep breathe.
“Well obviously that wasn’t a warm welcome. I’m sorry I had to be a part of all that.” Q just shook his head.
“Yeah I would have to say it wasn’t what I had in mind either. Well who are you?” he then asked.
