Page 17 of Pulse of True Soulmates

In the past with Troy, there were times that I had to stop our session due to lightheadedness, and he would get so upset. Before I knew it, we had sex less and less. It was always,just suck my dick.The first time Deck and I had to stop, I just knew he would decide that it was too much, but nope. He said we would figure out what worked for us to make sure we were both satisfied. That was when I knew I loved him and wanted to be with him for as long as the universe would allow.

When my eyes landed on Fatima, her nose turned up. “I don’t know if I’m ready to be an auntie.” She glanced down at Midnite. “Midnite, you see your mama and daddy being nasty?”

The way my baby looked at her like she annoyed him before he turned his body away from her to ignore her was comical. I was surprised that he didn’t go over to the buttons to tell her to hush. Julian burst into laughter. “Yo, he’s really not fuckin’ with you.”

I got comfortable in Deck’s tattoo chair while he got his station set up for me. Deck was almost ready when Julian grumbledfuck.It caught Deck’s and my attention. What caught my attention next was the female stomping up the staircase who looked like she was on a determined mission.What is this about?

“Declan, I want to talk to you,” the female said aggressively. When she reached the top of the steps, she stopped. “Oh, so this is what we doing? You’ve been ignoring me for this bitch.”

My head tilted to the side.How did I get in this?Deck’s arm extended across my body when I tried to stand up. “Baby, I just want to ask her who she’s talking to.”

“Aeon, sit your ass down,” he said with a stern tone. He stood, leaned over me, then kissed my lips. “I’m sorry about this delusional ass girl.”

With tight eyes, I said, “Handle it, Deck.” I extended my arm backward, then snapped my fingers four times. Midnite got up and jumped onto my lap. Four snaps was his signal that I needed his protection. Yeah, labrador retrievers were cute until they had their teeth locked on you. I glanced at Fatima to see what her crazy ass was doing. She typed on the screen of her phone like a maniac.

“Alesha, you on your good bullshit. I haven’t talked or fucked with you since when?” Deck asked. He went to the railing of theloft. “Aye, call them boys. Let them know someone who has a trespass is here.”

The Alesha chick stood there with a contorted face. “You a bitch! You told me that you weren’t looking for a relationship, but then I see you all over the gram with this bitch. You a ho ass nigga.”

Deck was extremely calm. This was the first time that I’d seen him handle conflict, so I was interested to see how it would play out. “Alesha, I already told you that I don’t argue with crazy. You can do that with Charlotte-Meck when they get here.”

He gave her no real energy as he came and sat back in the seat that was closest to me. He continued to lay out what he needed for my tattoo. That clearly agitated Miss Alesha. “Yeah, I’m gonna beat you and your bitch’s ass.”

Deck laughed. “I got something that says you won’t.” He reached behind him and pulled a Glock out. He pulled the hammer back and set it on my leg. “Now, I don’t hit females, but if you come near my woman, I’ll shoot the shit out of you before I tell Midnite to tear your ass up.”

Alesha’s eyes widened.She’s not that tough now.Julian stepped forward. “Aye, you need to get the fuck up out of here. Your ass is about to go to jail over a nigga who told you a long time ago that it wasn’t you.”

“Fuck you, Julian! Nah, it wasn’t me because he rather a disabled bitch. Look at her with her lil service dog!” she spoke callously.

Fatima’s abrupt laugh drew everyone’s attention. “Bitch, I was trying to let you live, but you got my best friend, her dog, and me fucked up. You wanna beat someone up, beat me the fuck up.”

Before Fatima advanced the dumb bitch, Julian grabbed her. “She’s not even worth all that shit.” His head dropped back. “Who the fuck called them!”

Rushed steps came up the stairs. Before any of us could blink, Iesha punched Alesha in her face. “Bitch, who the fuck are you playing with.”

Julian let go of Fatima, which was a horrible mistake, to grab Iesha. Deck jumped up to grab Leydi who had jumped in as well. I held onto Midnite to make sure he didn’t get worked up. The other tattoo artists that worked on the far side of the loft came over to help. It was complete mayhem for a moment. I, however, was chilling with Midnite in one arm and Deck’s gun in my other hand.

By the time the guys were able to peel all my girls off the Alesha dummy, the police had arrived. I was terrified that my girls would get locked up, but they didn’t. Miss Alesha was arrested for trespassing, and Deck went a step further to ask for a restraining order.I guess he’s serious about not arguing with crazy.Tiberius and Derrick arrived soon after the police left to reprimand their women, which was funny to see.

“Baby, I stopped talking to that girl weeks before I met you,” Deck said. “I love you, and I would never do shit to jeopardize us.” Sincerity laced his eyes.

I told Midnite to go back to his pillow since everything had calmed down. Once I made sure he was comfortable, I turned my attention to Deck. My lean toward him prompted him to lean toward me. Our lips locked in a passionate kiss. “I know you wouldn’t. It’s clear that you haven’t dealt with her. Can I get my tattoo now? It’s an hour over my appointment time.”

He chuckled. “I got you, love. I’m sorry about that shit though, for real. I don’t do drama, but unfortunately, I can’t control other’s actions.” He pecked my lips with his. “I’ll still make it up to you.”

I guess this is the best time to tell him about dinner plans tomorrow.“You can make it up to me tomorrow at my father’s house for dinner. He wants to meet you.”

Deck sat there frozen for a second. “I thought I was going to meet him at the party. What happened with that?”

“Fatima, can you tell Deck what happened with him meeting my father at his birthday party?” I asked when I turned in her direction. Julian had finished her tattoo, so she was sitting in my recliner. “I’ll let her tell you all about that.”

She rolled her eyes before she gave her version of the story while everyone tuned in. Everyone thought it was funny, including Deck. All the couples were invited to my father’s party. I also made sure I told Leydi to have Tiberius invite Georgie.

“I guess I’ll be meeting my pops-in-law tomorrow. Let’s get this tat done so we can go home.” For the rest of the time, Deck worked on my tat.

Fatima eventually went home, but everyone else chilled until my tat was done. I was happy they stayed because my tattoo was still painful, even with the numbing cream. It would be a while before I got another one.

TIME TO MEET THE FATHER . . .
