A Red Apple (23 page)

“Do you love him?” Carter asks me as I lay in his arms.

“Who?” I ask to buy me some extra time. I already know he’s talking about Zeke.

“You know w
ho I’m talking about!” He raises his voice.

There is a moment of silence. I want to tell him the truth because he deserves to know.
He’s been good to me and I’m so tired of lying. Best-case scenario, I tell him the truth and we try to work it out. Worst-case scenario, he leaves me and never looks back.

“Yes I do.”
There it’s finally out. “But I love you too Carter and I don’t want to throw away our relationship.”

“You kidding me right? So that time I came to the classroom and you said y’all were talking about grades and shit, you were fucking him?” Carter pushes me off of him and stands up.

“Yeah we were but I didn’t meant to, it was a mistake,” I plead my case.

“So what his dick fell into your pussy?” Carter laughs. But this laugh is different
; it’s far more sinister.

“No! We didn’t even get to finish
.” I can’t believe I just said that.

“Same damn difference Piper. Why didn’t you just keep it real wit me?”

“I was afraid to lose you baby.”

“One last question
, because I know what everybody is saying can’t be true. There’s no way you would do me like that. Did you leave the party with him after the fight?” He looks so distraught and I don’t want to come clean but I know I have to.

“Yes… I did… but it’s not how it looks. He was…”

“You dirty bitch,” Carter slams me into the wall and starts choking me. “How the fuck you gone do me like that? After everything Piper? I been good to your ass and everyone was telling me you was fucking that nigga. I’m up here looking like a fool telling people he’s like your big brother.” He yells and his eyes are red with fury.

“You’re
hurting me Carter.” I can feel the life passing out of me.

He let’s go of me and watches me as I gasp for air.

“Your not even worth it.” He says heading towards the door.

“Carter, baby wait! I can explain,” I pull his arm. But he yanks it away from me, keeps walking and slams the door behind him shattering my windows.

I lay my back up against the door and drop down to the floor in tears. I love Carter and I’m not ready to let him go, not like this. Had I just steered clear of Zeke at the party none of this would’ve happened. I feel so small, smaller than an ant. “Why?” I scream at the top of my lungs. I have done everything I’m supposed to but still, I fall victim to my love for Zeke. After everything he has done to me I still love him.

I turn on my stereo and blast the volume. I needed to listen to my girl Beyoncé tel
l me how they are replaceable. How right she is. Fuck both of them; it’s time to do me for a change. I grab a bottle of Moscato out my fridge and start taking it to the head. The only thing left to do now is go out like I’d promised myself I would.

It’
s scorching hot outside in Texas today, thank you kind Lord for air-conditioning and sweet tea. My lazy ass is not in the mood to do anything but lounge around Zeke’s condo butt ass naked. Although the two of us are in the same house, we’re so distant we might as well be on two different continents. Things have been this way between us for a while now. But every since he left that pool party with Piper, he’s been so cruel towards me. I do everything he asks, I work my ass off at the club and I barely passed the semester trying to run up behind him. But those things aren’t enough because he still continues to treat me like a piece of shit on the bottom of his shoe. Though he doesn’t say it, I can tell he doesn’t want me around anymore. I stick by him because I know things will be better for us in the long run. Whenever he realizes I’m the woman for him and Piper isn’t.

Zeke is in the kitch
en making him some lunch and I’m lying on his sectional reading a magazine. I’m actually doing a ‘does he love you quiz’ and of course the conclusion I come to is no. But these whack ass quizzes don’t know the first thing about love so fuck it. I chunk the magazine at the wall and turn over on my back to look up at the ceiling. I’m so fed up with this thing called love because no matter what, someone always ends up hurt. My eyes are filling with painful tears that I refuse to let fall. I really miss being a kid because crying over spilled milk was so much easier than crying over a broken heart. Zeke phone rings and I decide to answer it.

“Hello.” I say into the phone.

“Is this Zeke’s phone?” The female voice asks with skepticism.

“Yes it is and who are you?” I ask sitting up with an attitude.

“I’m China and I need to speak to Zeke.” She says.

“Well he’s not available at the moment but this is his woman so what can I do for you?”

“You can put him on the phone.”
She says. I can tell her patience is wearing thin.

“Well bitch that’s not an option and don’t call my man phone anymore.” I hang up.

Ring Ring

“Yeah!” I answer yelling because it’s the same bitch calling back.

“I hate to be the bearer of bad news but tell your man we’re expecting.” China announces.

“Expecting what exactly?” I really hope she isn’t about to say what I think she is.

“A special delivery from the stork and I’m 8 weeks.” China says but I draw a blank and hang up on her again.

I walk into the kitchen and find Zeke
sucking some mustard off his thumb. He’s looking at me like I’ve lost my mind. I don’t know what my facial expression is but I probably look like I have seen a ghost. I can’t believe the news I just heard.

“What the fuck
is up wit you B?” Zeke finally asks.

“You have a baby on the way.” I allow the words to come out of my mouth but I’m still in shock.

“You sayin’ you carrying my seed?” He looks down at my belly.

“No! Some bitch name China called saying she’s 8 weeks pregnant and it’s yours.” I place his phone down on the counter in front of him.

“You answering my phone now?” He says counting on his fingers like he’s trying to do the math. “FUCK!”

“So what you
gonna do about it?” I ask walking off. I’m not mad because 8 weeks ago I wasn’t fucking with him like that.

“That bitch is probably lying anyway.” He says joining me
in the living room. I think he’s talking more to himself than to me. “She’s a mafuckin stripper ain’t no telling how many dicks have slid up in that.”

“I’m a stripper and you the only nigga I’m sleeping with so that don’t mean shit.” I say in China’s defense.

“Damn B thanks a lot. Don’t you think I know that? Of all the bitches I could’ve gotten pregnant, she’s the one I knock up. I would prefer if… You know what, never mind.” He says.

“No say it Zeke. We both know who you were going to say nigga. Piper is the bitch that you want a baby with isn’t she? It’s always about her when she doesn’t even want you. When are you going to get that through your narrow-minded ass head?” I yell getting up in his smug ass face.

“Leave it alone B, that’s not what I said.” He shoves me to the side and starts walking off.

“No you didn’t say it because you can’t ever just tell the truth.” I say snatching his shirt. “Don’t walk away from me!”

“Don’t ever put your mafuckin hands on me. And I wont say it because you can’t handle it.” His blue eyes are so cold they cause me to shiver.

“So I guess I have my answer. Are you still fucking Piper too?” I say with tears forming in my eyes.

“What the fuck you think? Your ass is with me 24/7. You practically live up in my shit and you asking me some dumb shit like that?” His hands are open like what the fuck.

“But you want her more than me Zeke. I don’t understand why you don’t see that I’m the one for you when I ride or die for you everyday. Do you love her?” I cry.

“Come here baby.” He pulls me into his arms and begins to rub my hair. “Ain’t shit going on with me and Piper. You’re the one I come home to every night right?”

“Yeah but do you love her?” I look up into his mesmerizing eyes.

“You already know the answer to that B but that shit don’t matter because Piper and me are over.” He looks at me seriously.

“What about us
?” I decide it is time to define the relationship.

“It’s all about us
ma.” He says picking me up and walking towards the bedroom. “I want to fuck you right here.”

Zeke throws my back
up against the wall, lifts my legs above his waist and pushes himself deep inside of me. “Oh baby.” I moan because the feeling of him inside me is always a pleasure. We stare fierily into each other’s eyes soaking all of the lust in. I kiss him as he fucks me like I’ve never experienced before. The thrusting is so primal and powerful. “Your naked body is so sexy” He says before taking a bite into my shoulder. It’s so pleasingly painful that I dig my nails into his back and bury my face into his neck to return the favor. His hands are running all over my legs and thighs as his pumping increases. He’s fucking me so hard that my back is pounding against the wall. He sucks on my neck and his beard stubble tickles my chin. “Give it to me daddy.” I scream out. The friction of my nipples rubbing up against his chest is so sexy. “Bust for me ma.” Zeke growls. My body starts shaking as I succumb to the powerful orgasm I am having. He begins to pump into me harder and faster and I can feel his body stiffening up. “Cum inside me.” I implore him. He explodes and I can feel his warm cum filling me up. He pushes his weight on to me and I hold him around his neck tightly as we both pant for air. I can feel his softening dick discharging from my soaking wet flesh. He carries me over to the couch, lies me down and kisses me passionately.

“You are something else B.” He says spooning me from behind.

“What did I do?” I ask him laughing.

“You ask a nigga to pop inside you at his
weakest. You trying to have my seed?” He says rubbing my belly.

“That’s what your woman is
supposed to do right?” I say turning around to face him.

“Oh that’s what you are now
?” He kisses my forehead.

“
I’d like to think so…Do you want a baby with me Zeke?”

“I don’t want any
kids right now.” He replies honestly.

“If I was Piper you would.” I retort.

“But you’re not Piper and you will never be her so what I do or don’t want with her doesn’t concern you. Why the fuck you so obsessed with the next bitch anyway?” Zeke sits up and pops his neck. “Don’t even answer that because I already know what’s up. I got some business to take care of so I will see you later tonight.”

I watch him throw his clothes back on and walk out the door.
I hope I’m pregnant because he will be stuck with baby mama drama for the rest of his life. Sometimes I hate his yellow ass because he has a way of making me feel less than I already do. We go from having hot passionate sex to arguing about Piper and this is a routine occurrence. I can’t help that I’m self-conscious about that bitch. She has his heart but I’m the one fucking him every night. So if I’m jealous, it’s because Zeke makes me that way. I honestly wish the bitch would get ran over by a bus or do me a damn favor and disappear.

I definitely don’t
miss being a professor because I’m able to give my club the attention it needs. Plus, I can do whatever the fuck I want to without trying to cover my tracks. My club isn’t open for the night yet but I’m here making sure everything is everything. I pour me a shot of crown, roll me up a blunt and take a seat. Tonight is going to be a good night. I look up and B is killing a pole on the main stage. ‘Loyal’ by Chris Breezy is playing on the surround sound. “When a rich nigga want you and ya nigga can’t do nothing for you.” Chris Brown knows what the fuck he’s talking about because I swear these hoes are only loyal to a nigga because my paper is long. I have a good 25 million in the bank and I can have any bitch I choose. I can buy a bitch a Hermes bag and she’ll sell me her mafuckin soul. B jumps up in the air and lands into a split. I throw the bitch a couple hundreds and proceed to the door so I can go to my crib, get dressed and handle some business.

I’m sitting on my bed waiting for China X to knock on my door. I flew her down here so we can talk about what’s next. My crib is quiet for a change and it’s just me. If China is pregnant with my seed, it’s my responsibility to take care of her and anything she needs until the baby gets here. I’m praying she’s lying and just trying to get my attention because I haven’t fucked with her since that time in Manhattan. But deep down inside, I know this is real because a nigga’s luck runs out eventually. I’ve been fucking these hoes raw and only got one pregnant my entire life. That baby didn’t make it but this one will.

Knock
Knock

I open the door and China Z is standing looking even more beautiful than the last time I seen her. Her skin is so radiant and her body is looking right. She doesn’t look pregnant at all but she has thickened up in all the right places. I let her in and watch her fat ass jiggle as she walks past me. Mmmmm
, I wouldn’t mind hitting that tonight. My head is cocked to the side, looking at her body with lots of nasty thoughts. Unfortunately, that’s not the nature of this visit so I sit my ass down on my sofa.

“Sit right here China.” I pat my lap.

“No thank you. So here’s the proof.” She throws five pregnancy test sticks at me. “I need some money nigga.”

“Is it mine?” I ask her. I’m not trying to be disrespectful but it’s a fair question in my opinion.

“It is and I’m sure you don’t believe me. But I need some money because I’m not stripping anymore and I got bills to pay. I don’t got no health insurance so I need help with that too. Everything is just too much and it’s hard. I can’t do this by myself.” She breaks down crying.

“Wait a second ma.” I say pulling her into my lap and cradling her. “I will take care of everything. Money is not an object so don’t even worry about that. All you need to do is get my seed here.”

“I can’t believe I’m in your arms again. I haven’t felt a mans touch in so long and it feels good.” She says kissing me.

“You fuck anybody since the
big apple?” I clench my jaw. The thought of another nigga’s dick inside her while she’s carrying my seed is making my blood boil.

“No Zeke. Contrary to what you might think of me
, I’m not a hoe.” She sucks her teeth. “Yeah I slept with you under questionable circumstances but I did because I wanted too.”

“Alright well keep it that way because I will kill yo
ur ass and that nigga too. I can dick you down anytime you need. Just call me and I will put you on a plane.” I reassure her.

“So how are we going to do this? I want to be near you Zeke because this is my first baby and I don’t want to do this alone.”

“Move your ass to Houston then. That way I can really have you on lockdown.” I tell her.

“You
gonna pay for me a spot?” She looks at me with big needy eyes.

“Done. Now tonight is my birthday and I think I want some pregnant pussy.” I smile taking her shirt off. She doesn’t have on a bra and oh my. Her titties are nice and
full making me lustful. “No bra?”

“My titties are tender.” She quivers as I cup her jugs and lightly squeeze her erect nipples between my knuckles. “My flight is scheduled to leave tonight
so we don’t have time for this.”

“You just got here.” I say laying her across my legs and stroking her belly. She looks so stun
ning and sexy in this vulnerable position. I unbuckle her pants to play with that pussy because it’s calling my name. I know it’s wet and I haven’t had any pregnancy pussy since Alexis lost the baby. “Why you trying to leave so soon?”

“Zeke please stop
. We can do it when I move out here.” She pleads.

“We will do it t
hen too. You will leave when I’m done with you. Now let me talk to this belly. Can you hear me in there son? I need you to cover your ears because I need to take care of a pussy problem and daddy goes in. Ya moms gone be yelling and shit alright.” I say before rubbing her stomach some more.

“Fine then but one nut. Happy Birthday.” She shakes her head at me.

Oh how I love when they say yes to me. I move my exploring up to her chocolate mounds and darkened areolas. She’s twitching beneath my knowing touch. I roll her off of me so I can get on the floor and kneel before her to suck on her full tits. “Mmmmmm that feels so good. Please don’t stop.” She moans. I begin to caress the inside of her thick thighs making sure to put some friction on her outer pussy lips. “I hear you babymuva. Now open up these legs for me.” I say. She obliges so I dip two fingers into her pussy and it’s sloppy wet. I pull my digits out and rub some of her juices on her partially exposed clitoris. Her groaning indicates she’s ready for me now. When duty calls I have to answer. I get up and lay on top of her. I put her legs over my shoulders and inch my dick into her slowly. I give her maybe six deep and calculating strokes before she begins cuming all over my dick. “Yaaaaaaas.” She yells letting it all pour out. This is no surprise to me because pregnant women have very sensitive bodies. “That’s it. That’s it. Give it to daddy.” I cheer her on. I cum when I’m ready so I pump into her a few more times and empty my hot load into her soaking wet insides. I pull out and stand up to pull my shorts back up.

“I love you.” She smiles as she begins getting redressed.

“Say it again.” I cup my ear with my hand. “I’m not hearing you.”

“I said I love you
silly. So when will my place be ready?” She asks.

“Give me a week or so.
In the meantime, no smoking, no fucking and absolutely no stripping. I gotta get out of here though, you ready?” I ask her.

“Yeah.” She says following
me out of my place. We exchange a few nasty promises as we make our way down to the parking lot.

“How you getting to the airport? I want to know
once we make it down to the lot.

“The same way I got here in
a rental duh. I miss you already.” She throws her arms over my neck.

“Hold on.” I reach into my glove department and grab a few stacks. “This is 3 g’s but I will put some money in your account in the morning. Text me your account info.”

“Thank you. I will do that as soon as I make it home. I really don’t want to leave.” She pouts.

“You better take care of my baby woman. And I will take care of that soon as you get your sexy ass back down here.” I spank her ass and send her on her merry way.

“A few weeks or so?” She hollers as she’s walking to her rental.

I look at all that ass and I don’t think I will make it another week without some more of th
at sloppy wet box. “On second thought, give me a few days.” I respond meaning every bit of it.

My club is jam-packed when I make it back. I’m sure the numbers are going to look good by the end of the night. Celebrities are in the joint, some of my old students and colleagues, random niggas, regulars. I swear everybody in the H has come out to party with a nigga for his born day. ‘Sex You’ a joint by some new nigga name Bando Jonez is playing and the hoes are going crazy. I’m dressed to impress in a crème linen short set with a fresh pair of tan Louboutin loafers on my feet. Me and my niggas Jeremy and Jr are sitting at a VIP table near the entrance scoping the scene.

“Happy birthday!” They both say in unison.

“Man I’m about to be a dad.” I inform my niggas.

“What nigga is B pregnant?” JR asks.

“Fuck no! Y’all remember that stripper China X I told y’all about when I was in the city? She the one.” I laugh.

“Congratulations my nigga!” Jeremy yells and jumps on me for a hug. “Let’s light up a Cuban.”

“Yeah that’s what’s up bruh. I’m proud of you man.” JR daps me up. “We got a future Alpha Theta on the way.”

“Yeah man.” I nod my head and watch as Jeremy fires up the Cuban. “Nigga w
hat the fuck, you got them shits on deck or what?”

“I really brought the Cuban fo
r your birthday but we got more important shit to celebrate now. Your old ass ain’t getting any younger no how.” Jeremy says and we all crack up.

B is set to come on stage for her solo to ‘Ov
erdose’ by Jamie Fox next. I’ve grown tired of her ass but I still break her off almost every night. The bitch is acting like a borderline psycho stalker. When I tell her ass I don’t want company she still shows up at my crib and comes up with some lie about how she was in the neighborhood and decided to drop in. The bitch is suffocating me and constantly accusing me of fucking with Piper behind her back. Her sex game is mediocre but her head is up to par. She has these crazy fetishes where she would call herself demanding me to tell her Piper’s pussy had nothing on hers. I would tell her what she wanted to hear but I would be lying. There isn’t a bitch in this world that can break me off like Piper, her sex game is something serious. If she does exist I damn sure haven’t hit it. But Piper is history to me though because I haven’t seen her since I gave her an ultimatum. I’ve texted her a few times but she never responds so I took an L. It’s hard on my ego because I’m not used to putting myself out there like that and being rejected. I mean I have gotten the occasional ‘I don’t want to see you ever again’ lines but never has a bitch actually dropped me on some real it’s over type shit. That’s always my lane.

B is on stage doing her thing, I aint lying. She is dropping it real low, bringing it back up. Sliding down the pole with her legs wide open. Grinding the stage like a dick, pulling
niggas faces between her pussy. And her signature move, jumping up in the air landing into a split is always a crowd pleaser. If it weren’t for her superb dancing skills I would’ve dropped her ass like a bad habit weeks ago.

“Zeke aint that Piper fine ass
sitting over there?” JR points a few feet away. “Who is that nigga lap she sitting in?”

I look and nod my head in agreement because she is looking good. I can tell by her face she isn’t impressed by B’s performan
ce but she’s surprised. I thought I was over her but seeing her now brings on my undeniable, strong feelings for her. Like the fact that I like having her all over me, showering me with affection like I’m the only man in her world the way she’s doing with that nigga she’s with. I miss laying the pipe to her ass, I miss her riding my dick, I miss her combativeness, her innocence but most of all, I miss having her around. I want that nigga she’s with to make the wrong move so I can have a reason to fuck his ass up.

“Fuck man. I gotta talk to her,” I say to my boys.

“Who Piper?” Jeremy asks in confusion. “I thought you was done wit that. Plus you got the baby on the way and shit.”

“I kno
w man but I can have both of them. Piper belongs over here with me and she might not be ready for the shit I got going on but my patience is wearing thin. I’m ready for her so she gone have to find a way to deal with it.” I declare.

“You can’t have them both my nigga. That shit is outrageous.” Jeremy tries to talk some sense into me. “How you gone do that.”

“I will let you know when I figure it out. But China X is here to stay and Piper is about to get onboard. She just doesn’t know it yet.” I reply confidently.

What about B? You know she ain’t gone turn your ass lose quietly.” JR chimes in.

“Fuck outta her JR. That bitch is only useful on a pole.” I spit.

“You a cold ass nigga you know that?” JR asks laughing.

“Act like you know bruva. These hoes ain’t new to this.” I clasp hands with Jeremy who is in full agreement.

“You
gonna tell Piper about your baby mama?” Jeremy inquires.

“Eventually when I feel like she’s ready. Maybe I will have a family meeting or some shit like that.” I joke making us all bust out cackling
again.

“Check this nigga out.” JR points over at the nigga with Piper
whose grabbing all over her booty.

“I should go over there and fuck that pussy nigga up.” I say getting more pissed by the minute. My heater is in my back pocket and my trigger finger is feeling happy.

“Nigga this is yo club, fuck the bullshit! Go get your woman!” JR is hype and he’s gassing me up even more.

Piper turns around and we lock eyes. She gives me the most innocent smile and waves at me. I give her a nod and she turns back around. The nigga she’s with turns
around to find out who she was waving at. He shoots me a look that says ‘she’s my bitch’ and then taps her ass. That nigga better cool that bullshit. I watch Piper toot that ass up and shake her booty all up in dudes face and he’s enjoying every minute of it. He’s sitting in the chair like he’s the fucking boss up in my shit. I’m getting red ass hell as jealousy starts settling in. When she gets up and heads toward the ladies room, I take that as my indication to steal a moment of her time. I need to find out if I still have a chance.
