“How can I trust that? You’re probably still fucking her.”
“I fuck her when I need to.” She pushed away from me, and I pulled her back to me. “Cool the fuck out, Arieana.”
“Nigga, you?—”
I wrapped my hand around her throat and pinned her down to the floor before biting her lip. “You must think I’m playing with your little ass.”
“Get off of me.”
“Ask nicely.”
“Fuck you!”
“Okay.” I slid my semi-hard dick between her pussy lips as she moaned.
“You get on my nerves,” she groaned. I allowed her to push me over and climb on top. “Since you’re fucking me now, you can’t fuck her or anyone else anymore. That’s my only rule.”
“I ain’t fucked her in weeks. And since we’re laying out rules, you need to show me some affection. That’s my only rule… Oh, and you can’t fuck other niggas either.”
“What are you going to do if I do?” she asked, swirling her hips, making my toes curl.
“You don’t want to know the answer to that, Arieana.”
She smirked as we fucked for another round until we eventually fell asleep.
One Month Later…
July 2022
Today was the day of the final dress fitting. My mom, Harvey’s mom, Mrs. Linda, Aunt Eva, Lena, Aunt Shantè, Olivia, Raquel, Mayani, Megan, and I sat on the couch in the bridal shop, sipping champagne, and waiting for Paige to come out. We had been tossing back the champagne since we got here, and it’s sad to say, we were a little too lit. Laughs and a good time had been the vibe, and I had to admit, I was enjoying myself.
I had to hear how good it was to see me smiling and laughing so much that I started to stop doing the shit altogether. However, I couldn’t and wouldn’t ruin the moment. It kind of felt good to do something other than boss people around and be pissed off about my father.
These last few months had flown by, and it was only a week and a half before I would say goodbye to my sister, my best and only friend. It made me sad, but I truly wanted her to be happy, so I’d been on my best behavior. Messiah and I partaking in extra-curricular activities certainly helped.
The shit with him had grown into something I wasn’t expecting. I swear, I didn’t want to like this man, but he had been taking my body to new heights and touching a heart I didn’t know I had. Every time I tried to pull away, he pulled me closer by doing things that I’d never allowed any man to do for and to me.
Like taking me on dates and buying me flowers.
I hated it and loved it at the same time.
I knew if I continued to fuck with him, I was going to start feeling unfamiliar shit. If I had to be honest with myself, sadly, I wanted to feel it. Lorenzo used to court us all the time, so I knew what being dated felt like, but to have a love interest do it felt different.
Too different.
“Alright, ladies! Y’all ready to see this dress?” Paige yelled from the dressing room.
“Yes, girl! Come on out!” Aunt Eva exclaimed.
The curtain opened, and everyone paused. The ivory Vera Wang gown had a puffy bottom, a corset top littered with rhinestones and glitter, with her back completely exposed.
“Oh, my stars… Paige,” my mom said, tears falling down her cheeks. Paige smiled and walked to the stage in front of the mirror. “You look so beautiful, my daughter.”
“Yes! Just gorgeous,” Aunt Eva countered.
“That body is tea! You better show out, cousin!” Lena exclaimed, tapping her finger and thumb together rapidly.
“Listen, me and Meg want first dibs on the bouquet!” Mayani exclaimed.
