The Lyoness
"Stoooppp," I panted through my laughs and giggles while wiggling around the bed trying to evade my boo who tickled my stomach. "Stop playing. I was supposed to be gone an hour ago." I chuckled up towards Lucious, but he kept on kissing and nibbling me all over my body. "I'm not letting you leave. You said that you were gonna do whatever I said and I say that you're staying right here in this bed with me." He replied, resting on his elbows atop of me...I'd love to stay here with him, but at least one of us has to make our way to Empire so that folks don't start getting suspicious. I ran my hands over his head, through the mound of curly hair up top that I love so much, finally letting them come to rest on the sides of his face.
"Lucious, I've already missed two weeks of work. I can't just not be there, I've got to check on Elle at rehab, Tianna's new video, and put the finishing touches on Mal's album." I whispered up at him, his face said that he knew I was right, but his eyes were saying that he still didn't want me to leave. "You missing the first week wasn't my fault and last week..." That old devious smile of his started flashing across his lips... "Well, last week we had to break in the house." He continued.
"Yeah, my ass is still sore for some of that freaky shit you had us up to." I replied. He dipped his head down towards my lips, pulled them up into his, kissed me, then spoke up, "I didn't hear you complaining though. I only recall you moaning." He teased, I gently popped him upside the back of his head, scooted towards the edge of the bed, pulled on my robe, and stood up as he groaned still beneath the sheets...I looked down at him, "Baby, if we want this thing to go off like we planned then things have to seem as normal as possible, you've got to keep checking in with Miss. Kitty every day like nothing's changed and I've got to go into the office. I mean the bitch does dumb shit but she ain't stupid, so if we keep this up eventually she's gonna put two and two together." I told him, while I gazed out of the patio attached to our master bedroom.
This house is fucking amazing...I thought that maybe he was taking me on a jet or having my favorite singer do a private performance or something when he blind folded me...but never did I think that his ass had went out and bought me a house. I went into the bathroom, cut on the shower, then walked back towards him, he rolled over onto his back and looked up at me then spoke, "Ugh, you're right, you're right. I guess, I can survive two more weeks of not being able to kiss on you when I want to, until we go public." He stated as I leaned down over the edge of the bed and kissed him. "It won't be so bad you big baby, quit pouting and stick to the plan before I have to beat your ass up like I did when you forgot our anniversary back in the day." I teased then stood back up and dropped the robe from my body, his eyes immediately grew low and hungry as I watched them roam the length of my body, I started to head into the shower but then I heard him hop up from the bed as soon as my head turned away from his.
I glanced over my shoulder, "Oh, I know something that needs a good beating up, come here woman." He said through laughs as I started running towards the bathroom, with him right on my heels...shit at this rate my behind might not ever make it up outta here.
Two hours later and my ass is late as hell as I strutted through the doors of the conference room for the A and R meeting, "Glad you finally decided to join us Cookie." Anika smugly spewed towards me as I took my seat, crossing my legs over one another in the process, then glancing her way as I rolled my eyes and rested my hand on my chin. I really didn't pay attention to anything she was talking about, why should I my mind tossed around, I know music way better than her ass...besides...in a bit longer she'll be out the door and I'll be running this department the way it needs to be ran anyway.
A wasted twenty minutes later, I was sitting in my office when Jamal walked in with Lola in his arms..."Hey you two." I smiled their way instantly, "Hey, grandma." Lola replied as Mal placed her on top of his lap, while sitting in the chair in front of my desk. "I'm so glad that your back mom, are you okay?" He asked me with a look of sincere concern spread across his handsome features... "I'm fine baby. How are you two..." I turned my attention towards Lola before he could answer, "Lola, are you being a good girl for your daddy?" I questioned. She smiled, nodded her head, and looked over to Jamal's smiling face.
"My baby is an angel" He stated while placing a kiss on her cheek, "That's another reason why I wanted to see you..." He took a deep breath before he continued and I knew that whatever was about to come from his mouth was serious, "Ma, I'm gonna talk to dad about taking Lola on full time. I wanna step up to the plate and raise her." He told me and I couldn't keep the brightest smile in the world from creeping across my lips, my baby is actually trying to do the right thing and it make me extremely proud, "Okay, so what does that have to do with me...I mean you know imma be right here to support you...but what else do you need?"
He gazed up into my eyes with that look that always melted me when he was a little boy, "Aw, hell. What, is it boy?" I huffed as he scooted up towards the edge of the chair, "Ma, I need for you to have my back on this when I talk to dad about it. I know that you're still mad at him and everything, but I know he'll listen to me if you're there...you always seem to find a way to persuade him." He continued. I looked at him like "for real" cuz I don't really wanna get involved in this, I have enough going on. "Please Ma." He whined as if he sensed that I was getting ready to tell his ass no. I exhaled, "Okay, Okay. I got you." I told him.
Just as we finished our conversation, I heard a light tap on my office door, it was Malcolm... "May I have a word?" He asked, while standing against the door frame, Jamal scooped Lola up and they started to leave. "I'll call you later mom." He uttered as they exited, Malcolm entered, then stopped directly in front of my desk. "Good to see you Malcolm, how are you? I asked while leaning back in my chair. "I'm just fine Mrs. Lyon... I mean Cookie...how are you today?" He responded, "I'm great." He smiled while standing in front of my desk, "That's good to hear. I took care of that situation for you and Lucious and I have something for you." He tossed my way then pulled what looked like a brand new I Phone from inside his suit jacket and handed it to me.
"Is this all we need?" I asked him and he nodded, "Yes maim, that's it. I installed the spyware we talked about on Miss. Calhoun's phone, so now every call or text she sends or receives you and Mr. Lyon will have full access to." He informed me. I looked up at him, really, I thought to myself...damn technology done came a long way since I went inside. "You'll receive a private message alert when there's any activity, just press this button, and VIOLA...you hear and see everything she does." His voice boomed.
Damn he's good, I know he's gonna make some woman happy one day, "I've been tailing her since Mr. Lyon and I spoke last week, nothing much really happened, but you can access the past four days worth of data from her phone the same way you'd do new info. Oh, and I also installed a GPS tracker as well so that way y'all can also track her location, just in case it may ever be necessary." He finished.
With those words he left my office, as I sat there staring down at one of the keys to me and Lucious' master plan to squash Anika's ass like a bug. I chuckled to myself, did she really think that she could ever get over on the true queen? It doesn't matter now though, she ain't gonna know what the hell hit her when we got done with her ass.
