“Then I promise too.”
As we kissed, I circled my hips, brushing against her clit and two spots in her pussy that were sure to make her cum quick and hard. I neared my peak and needed her to get hers before I got mine. Her breathing turned ragged and mixed with choppy moans as she dug her nails into my skin. Seconds later, she was cumming against me, and I was glad because I couldn’t hold back any longer.
I heard what Kyle said.He spoke clear English; however, his words weren’t actually making sense. With the position she wasin and how happy she was for the opportunity, I didn’t understand why Juelz didn’t come in for her interview. I was conflicted. A part of me wanted to check on her and see what was up. The other part of me felt like I was setting myself up to take on her problems. Before I made a decision either way, I FaceTimed my girl.
She answered before going back to the pole.
“I shouldn’t have called you. Now you about to have me distracted.”
Amanda made that sound Megan Thee Stallion be doing on her songs as she crawled up the pole and did a split before laughing. For a while, I just watched her. Working the pole was a true flex of strength. The way she held the entire weight of her body upside down by her arms was sick. I knew from experience the power her punches had behind them, and I was sure this had a lot to do with it.
“What’s up, baby?” she asked, twirling around the pole.
“Uh…I wanted to ask you something.”
“Okay…so ask.”
My head tilted as she clapped her legs together before clapping just her cheeks. The thunderous sound they made had my dick getting hard instantly.
“Elias…”
“Hmm?”
“What did you want to ask me?”
“How long you gon’ be up there? I’m about to come through real quick.”
As serious as I was, she laughed as she did a split on the floor. Crawling toward the phone, she gave me the hypnotic look that captivated me at the club twelve years ago. Seeing it reminded me of why I’d called her in the first place.
“Oh yeah. I remember now.”
With a chuckle, she grabbed her phone and towel, then wiped the sweat that dripped down her face and chest.
“Juelz…I’m worried about her. I’m trying not to get too involved in her personal life, but she reminds me of you a lot in the sense of her struggle and need for money and independence. Only thing is, I don’t think she’s going to be able to climb her way out the mud like you did.”
“Didn’t you tell her to come in for an interview?”
“Yeah. She came up here to talk to me. I bypassed Kyle for her. She was supposed to start today, but she’s not here.”
“Hmm, that’s odd. I’m not going to act like I know her, know her. We had a few short conversations, but most of what I know is through gossip. It doesn’t make sense for her to skip out on the job, though, especially if she owes Luca. He don’t play about his money.”
“Well, she said she was able to get the two, but I don’t know. Something just doesn’t feel right.”
“Well, baby, if it’s going to bother you, check in.”
My head shook. “Nah. I don’t want it to seem weird. I think I’ll call West and see if his brother can get some information on her and Luca.”
“Ryit is probably the last person you need to get involved, E, especially if he’s still in the streets. The young hoodlum has his own theme song he’s so crazy.”
I laughed, even though that was true. Whenever he entered a room, people started chanting, “It’s time to start a riot,” because they knew nine times out of ten, he was about to shake some shit up.
“That’s exactly why I’m going to have him fall through. People don’t know how I get down, but they knowexactlywhat he’s on. Even if he just shows up and lays a claim on her, I’m sure that’ll make whatever Luca is doing stop.”
Her mouth twisted to the side as she considered my words. “You might be right. Keep me posted. If he can’t do it, and I need to go check on her, you know I will.”
“I will, bae. I love you.”
“I love you too. I hope you have an amazing day. I’ve already scheduled your lunch to be delivered at noon, so make time.”
