“Hmph,” I said softly, not knowing if I wanted to admit the truth to him. After a deep breath, I said, “Okay, I guess, but I’m better now.”
“Oh yeah? How are you better now, baby?” he asked in a low voice.
“I missed you. It’s been a long week.”
“Not as much as I missed you. Damn. I’m glad to hear from you… made my whole day, baby girl. So what happened? Why has it been a long week?”
“Not seeing you in your seat Saturday was hard. I feel like my performances aren’t filled with nearly as much passion without you being there. It feels like a job.”
“I’ll try to come tonight. Not seeing you has been hard. I can’t make any promises though. I have to be in Katy by five tomorrow morning. So I need to be awake no later than three-thirty.”
“You don’t have to come. Just knowing that I could possibly see you soon is enough for me.”
“How about I come over when I get back to town? I get off at three. I can be to your place by four or four-thirty, before you leave for work. I’m leaving tomorrow evening to go to Beaumont.”
“I would love that, but you know we need to talk, right?”
“I know. I’d rather talk in person, though, so I won’t get interrupted. Hold on.”
Before I could tell him to call me back, I heard him talking. “Get your specs right, and we wouldn’t be having problems. You wasting these people time. This could have been placed in the right spot an hour ago.” He paused, then I heard him say, “Stupid muthafucka.”
His forceful voice was turning me on.God bless it.I slid my hand between my legs and gripped my pussy, causing my eyes to roll to the back of my head. I needed him in the worst fucking way. I was so horny. “Sandrene?”
“Yes,” I practically moaned out.
He was quiet for a second, then he said, “I know you ain’t fucking yourself.”
“No, but I want to.”
“Shit, I can do that for you when I get there.”
“I know. Being on the phone with you has me so horny.”
“Girl, you making my shit brick up. I’m glad I’m the only one that can be in this cab. Somebody would get a fucking show. You can’t be sounding that sexy though. I don’t have a fallback plan. One mess up, and I could fuck somebody’s life up… including my own.”
“I know. You in a tower crane, crawler, or terrain?”
“I’m in a tower crane. Most times, that’s what jobs I go on because I’m the best they got. Some of them other niggas can’t handle being up so high.”
“You get hazardous pay? That’s dangerous.”
“I do. It ain’t much, but I get like three hundred per job or per week, depending on which ends first. Some jobs can last for months.”
“They should be giving you that per day.”
“Hell yeah, but I’ll take what I can get for now. When I first started here, they weren’t giving hazardous pay at all. Me and another guy fought for it. We were successful.”
“That’s great. Well, I’ll let you get back to work. I’ll see you when you get off.”
“A’ight, ’cause the muthafucka dumb as a bucket of fucking rocks!” He blew a horn of some type, causing me to wince. My ears were warning me not to let that happen again. “Sorry, baby. This fool gon’ get somebody killed. I’ll see yo’ sexy ass later.”
He ended the call, and I couldn’t help but lie back on the couch and visualize him being on top of me like last time. I would definitely need a shower before he got here if I kept this up.
CHAPTER13
JAMEL
Icouldn’t get to Sandrene in time, and I was beyond pissed about that. We needed to talk for sure, and there was no way we could do that by phone… not with the things we needed to talk about. She needed to witness the sincerity in my eyes and how much I cared for her. I also needed her to witness just how possessive I was and how I would fuck somebody up over her. We may not have been a couple, but in my mind, I was on some Heather Headley shit.She would always be my lady.She didn’t know that shit yet, but she would surely find out.
