Love Will Lead You Back (14 page)

"Get dressed. You can stay at my house. B is with Monty, anyway." I ordered her some food, got her comfortable in my bed, locked up, and went to meet up with everyone.

I was beyond mad when I saw my sister’s body the other day. Any nigga that rapes a woman or anyone for that matter should be taken off this earth. That way, they won't get out years later and do it again. I only met the dude one time, and that was at the BBQ. I stopped by Amber’s house, and I think she was more pissed than I was.

"Tell your sister I'm sorry that happened to her."

"I will. Just know your brother will get what's coming to him."

"I know, B. I love my brother and all, but we haven't gotten along in years. I hate how he treats women, and because of him, can't see her nephew."

"What happened to him?" She told me some story about him beating the mother, and how she had to disappear in order to live. She also said to keep my sister safe, because if he told her he wanted her back, he would come looking for her.

"Mmmmm, B, you still taste good as hell." She was sucking on my clit and playing with her pussy at the same time.

"Make me cum, Amber. Fuck, I need you to suck it all out." She pushed my legs back and made me cum twice in her mouth.

"That pregnant pussy is good." She stuck her tongue in my mouth and rubbed on my chest.

"You like it."

"No. I love it. B, I never had any pussy that taste as good as yours. When you going to let me fuck you though? I want to see that ass jiggle when I'm hitting it from the back."

"You know my man is the only one that fucks me."

"I know… Monty. I don't get why you sticking around him. You know he sleeping with other chicks, and I'm definitely eating the shit out of your pussy. Y'all both cheating; why be together?"

"I'm in love with him, Amber. I know I come to you when I need a woman's touch, but he is all I want." I saw that she was getting upset. I put my clothes on, gave her a kiss, and left. My phone rang, and it was Monty.

"Did she satisfy you, or do you still need your dick?" I laughed, because he knew where I was, what I was about to do, and with who.

"I'm going to always need that dick, but get this."

"What's up?"

"I think it's time for me to leave her alone."

"Why? What happened?"

"She's becoming too attached. She wants to fuck me now."

"Oh, hell no."

"Calm down, baby. I told her only my man fucks me. Then, she started saying why am I with you and all this other shit."

"Why are you with me?"

"I ask myself that question every day, and then, I realize you and I are doing the same thing she and I are."

"So what you saying, B, because it sounds like something is about to come behind that."

"Monty, maybe we should stop sleeping together and just be parents to Madison."

"You go to get your pussy ate, then come back talking about leaving me alone. What the fuck B? You letting people get in your head now?"

I knew he wasn't going to take it well. He hung the phone up and wouldn't pick it up when I tried to call him back. I'm just going to leave everyone the hell alone and be by my damn self. I sat at the red light waiting for it to change when I felt a sharp pain, and then, water trickling down my leg. I knew that meant my water broke. I tried to call Monty, and he still wasn't answering.

"Hey, boo."

"Amber, I'm down the street from your house, and my water just broke. Can you meet me?"

"I'll be right there." She drove me to the hospital, and he still wasn't answering. My sister was there already and stopped in her tracks when she saw Amber.

"Why is she here?"

"Amber had to drive me, because your stupid ass brother-in-law won't answer his phone.

"Thanks, Amber."

"Spring, I'm sorry for what my brother did to you, but me and B are friends."

"Whatever."

"I just hung up with him. He's on his way."

The nurse was in the room putting the monitors on my stomach when he walked in. He looked around the room and did a double take at Amber. Spring looked at me and vice versa.

"Monty, this is Amber. Amber, this is Monty." They both had a dumb look on their face but said hello. Three hours later, Madison Spring Robbins came into this world. He cut the umbilical cord and was the first to hold her. I was exhausted and ready to sleep. I woke up to see Monty holding her on his chest and texting away on his phone.

"Do you need me to hold her while you do that?"

"Nah. I'm good. She can stay right here." He and I were probably going to fight over her. She looked just like him with funny color eyes. We couldn't tell if they would be green like mine or what.

"I'm going to take a shower." He nodded his head and kept texting. I guess he was still mad about earlier, but I didn't care. Fuck him and whoever else was mad. He stayed at the hospital with me and only left to change clothes. He became attached to our daughter instantly. He was even staying in the guest room at my house just so he could be around her but not me. He was really being childish about the entire thing. He’s been on his phone a lot lately and I could care less about who it was but this was unlike him. We discussed everything, so whoever this was, he didn’t want me to know about. I’m sure it will come out soon.

Monty

Watching B give birth to my daughter three weeks ago had me in a zone. I didn't want to put her down or leave. It was like I needed to be around her every second of the day. This dumb bitch, Carolyn, had been texting me nonstop since I had my daughter. She and I had been off and on for years, but she decided to be a stripper, and there was no way I would allow my woman to flaunt her ass on front of everyone. Our relationship was great; especially, since she was bisexual and let me join plenty of times.

"I didn't know, Monty. I swear."

"But you knew who the fuck I was."

"I didn't want to say anything and mess up what you had."

"Nah, but you were talking that bullshit anyway. Why even say shit at all?"

My phone rang, and it was B, but I sent her to voicemail. Ever since she told me some shit about wanting to just parent my daughter, I haven't really been fucking with her. What's the use anyway? I can't even get my dick wet with her for another three weeks. I finally answered the phone after the fifth time she called.

"WHAT?" I yelled into the phone. There was no answer when I looked down she hung up.

"You didn't have to do her like that."

"Why do you care? You came over here to get what she can't have for another few weeks." She stood up, took all her clothes off, and kissed me. Why did I let her do that? The feelings I had for her were conflicting with the ones I had for B now. I lifted her up and let her slide down on my shaft.

"Just like I remember. Clap that ass on my dick." I was smacking that ass and loving the way it bounced up and down. Carolyn was brown-skinned with hazel eyes and had a Coca-Cola body with a huge ass.

"Shit, Monty. I miss this." We started kissing again, as I pumped harder into her.

"Is this still my pussy?" Her head was back, and she was getting ready to cum.

"Yea, Amber, is that still his pussy?" My dick shriveled all the way up and slid right out of her when I heard her voice. I forgot she had a damn key.

"It's not what it looks like, B." I threw my sweats on, and Carolyn started putting her clothes on. She laughed this cynical scary laugh.

"Why do people always say it's not what it looks like when the dick is in the pussy? I'll never understand that." I saw the tears running down her face.

"How could you, Amber?"

“My name is Carolyn, and Monty and I used to date for a couple years off and on."

"Oh, so that's why he didn't feel the need to use a condom with you. It's like old times, huh?" I ran my hand down my face remembering I didn’t have one on. I was caught up in the moment and forgot; leave it to B to catch that shit.

"How did it feel Monty? Was it just like you remember? Oh yea it was, because you said it. You see, I saw the look you gave each other at the hospital, but I pushed it to the side. Then, you been acting funny lately, and I know it wasn't from our conversation. I called to tell you I was leaving her alone, and I wanted us to try and be a family, but you screamed at me through the phone. I knew something was up, because as long as we've known each other, you've never spoken to me like that."

"B, put the gun down."

"For what? So you can take it from me. No thanks."

"Damn, I don't get an apology from either one of you which shows me y'all didn't give a fuck. Amber, Carolyn, whatever your name is, you knew all this time it was him I fell in love with, and you didn't say shit."

"I swear I didn't."

"Bitch, stop lying. There's no other Monty’s around here."

"B calm down."

"Calm down. You want me to calm down? Monty, don't call my phone or come by my house, and Amber, you don't ever have to worry about speaking to me again. I was going to shoot both of y'all asses, but then, my daughter would lose her mom and fucked up dad. I'm not even going to waste my bullets."

"I'll be by to see my daughter." I said walking up to her.

"I wish the fuck you would come to my house."

"What the fuck you mean B? That's my daughter too."

"Take me to court motherfucker." She found my keys and removed hers from the key ring, dropped mine, slammed the door, and pulled out the driveway. I fell back on my couch and sparked up a blunt. I passed it to Carolyn who didn’t hesitate.

“What you think she gonna do?”

“Probably burn anything of mine at her house.” She and I finished talking and she went home. We didn’t even have sex again that night. My phone rang, and it was Chase.

“What up?”

“Nothing. What happened over there?”

“She caught me fucking Carolyn.”

“Carolyn. When the hell did she come back around?”

“Evidently, she’s the one that B was messing with. Carolyn never told her she knew me even though B spoke about me. Anyway, she walked in on her riding my dick, pulled a gun out, told me I can’t see my daughter and left. You know the petty shit women do.”

“Damn.”

“Why? What is she doing?”

“She came in the house acting normal. After she put the baby to bed, she let out this loud ass scream that made Spring and I run upstairs. She was in her bed crying, and Spring is still up there with her. Damn, man you should’ve left her alone.”

“I know. I was being selfish. Oh well, I’m going to see my daughter, I don’t care what she says.”

“I hear ya. All right; I’ll hit you up tomorrow.” I cleaned my house and went to read some of my unopened mail. I had been over B’s house so much I never paid it no mind.
I knew it.
I said out loud to myself when I got those damn test results saying I was not the father. I took a photo of that shit and sent it to B. I don’t know why; maybe, it was to see if she would respond. The text came back saying message was not delivered. I called the number, and the shit was changed.

It was after ten, and I knew she was at work, because Spring called and told me to come over. She opened the door, and my daughter was asleep on her shoulder. She was perfect in her little jeans and Jordan’s.

“Thanks, Spring.” She rolled her eyes and closed the door.

“How’s your sister?”

“Monty, I don’t want to talk about that. I just called so you can spend time with her. I know you two are not exclusive, but you treated her like shit after you found out Amber was the same person. To make matters worse, you fucked her. And don’t say she shouldn’t have come unannounced, because you gave her a key.”

“I’m not disagreeing with anything you’re saying. I love B with all my heart and what I did was fucked up. I just want to be with my daughter now at this point.”

“I hope you two can at least be cordial when it comes to the baby.”

“Does she know I’m here?”

“Yea. She wants you to be gone by four.” I shook my head and lifted my daughter off my shoulder to look at her. I loved staring at her and those eyes were going to drive men crazy when she turned thirty and start dating. I left around 3:45 so we wouldn’t run into each other. I can respect her wishes since she did allow me to see her. If this was how it was going to be, all I can is respect it.

Spring

I felt bad for my sister and what they were going through. It had been four months since that shit happened, and she still has yet to allow him at the house when she’s there. I could tell he was missing B, because he would always think of a reason to try and stay later; I would text her that he hadn’t left yet, and she would stay out longer. I was five months pregnant, and today would make a month since I came back to work. I did most of it from home, because I was still embarrassed about going out. After a week of being home, Chase got the rape counselor’s number and invited her over. It took a few sessions with her and group for me to get back to myself.
