Chapter 10
I am sitting on one of the couches with Letti beside me when the door opens. I quickly wipe the tears, still hearing Jake in my head. Riz walks over and as he gets to me, Letti pats my shoulder before walking away and Riz sits beside me. He leans next to my ear and whispers "It's done." I nod and he pulls me to him and I start to sob. I get myself together and pull away from him. "Sorry." I whisper. "What are you sorry for Belleza?" he asks. I shake my head no and he cups my face and asks again "What are you sorry for?" I wipe the tears that are still falling and say "I won't be enough for you." and go to stand but he stands with me and cups my face to make me look at him. "You are more than enough for me Belleza. I love you so fucking much. I meant what I said. I want you to be my wife and carry my babies. I want to spend the rest of my life showing you that you are the only one for me." he tells me. I look into his eyes and say "Just be patient with me." He nods before picking me up and carrying me to bed. Laying me down, he strips down and gets into bed with me before pulling me closer. Wrapping his arms around me, it's like he can't get close enough. I look up at him and I know he needs it. I reach over and turn the lights off before stripping down to nothing. Slipping back under the covers, I slip my hand up under his wife beater and put my other around the back of his neck and pull him to me. Before my lips touch his, I turn him onto his back and move to straddle him. "Belleza." he says. "Fuck me Michael." I whisper before kissing his lips. He deepens the kiss and I feel him start pulling his boxer briefs down. I slide onto his hard member and start to slide up and down on his hard member and find my release before he finds his inside me. I move off the bed and grab my clothes off the floor and run to the bathroom before he turns the light back on.
As I am getting dressed, I feel the tears start to fall again. I gave him what he wanted. I keep hearing Jake say I'm just easy pussy and I slide down the door, sobbing. I hear him on the other side of the door. "Belleza, open up. Talk to me mi amor." he tells me and I start to sob harder. "Baby please open up." he says and I don't respond. A few minutes later, I hear Letti at the door. "Carrie. Let me in." she says softly. I open the door just enough for her to get inside and I lock it again. I sit back down against the door and she sits beside me. "Talk to me." she says softly. "I just keep hearing him in my head calling me a fat ass and telling me that I'm just easy pussy. I gave Riz what he wanted. Why won't he let me go?" I ask and start sobbing again. She pulls me to her and says "Let me tell you something. You're not fat. Like at all. I wish I looked like you. And you're not easy pussy. He loves you. I want that kind of love. But hearing that shit? That's letting him win. You can't let him win. He's gone. And his words should be too. How about this? Tomorrow, me and you will do some shopping and get you some things to make you feel better about yourself. We'll get our nails done and our hair done. Actually be girls for a change." she says. I look at her and say "I'd like that." She smiles and says "Good. Now, let's splash some water on your face and get you to bed with your man. Let him hold you and show you how much he loves you and tomorrow we're going to get pampered and spoiled. Might even make the Prospect go with us to torment him a little." she tells me and I laugh a little. "Thanks Letti." I tell her. "Anytime." she says.
We walk out of the bathroom and Riz is sitting on the bed. As soon as we walk out, he stands up and nods his thanks to Letti as she leaves the room and he pulls me close to him. "Just be patient." I say. "Anything you need." he tells me. "Letti said we'd go shopping and get our hair and nails done tomorrow." I tell him. "I'll make sure you have what you need." he tells me. "I have money." I tell him. "I got you baby." he says and I just nod. "She said we might take the Prospect with us to torture him." I say. "I'll make sure of it Belleza." he says and again I nod.
We get into bed and he pulls me close. I snuggle into his chest and feel him wrap himself around me tightly. "I love you." he tells me. "I love you too. Please don't leave me." I almost beg. He tilts my chin up and makes me look at him. "I'm not going anywhere Belleza." he whispers before kissing me deeply. Putting his forehead to mine, he says "You're mine bebita."
The next morning, we get up and head out to the main room and I get a coffee. He asks Chucky "Can you bring her a plate please?" Chucky nods and heads to the kitchen. "I'm not hungry Michael." I tell him. "You need to eat." he tells me. Letti walks up and takes the seat next to me. "I need to get my purse so we can go after I eat." I say and head to the dorms. "I need you to keep her occupied as long as you can today." Riz says and she looks at him. He pulls out a velvet bag and shows her the engagement ring that he picked up three days before and then puts it back in his kutte pocket. "Text me when you want her back." she says and I walk back out to the bar. After eating, he hands me money and I kiss him goodbye. "I love you Belleza." he says. "I love you." I tell him before walking out the door. As soon as he's sure we're gone, he looks at Bishop and says "I need your help." He shows Bishop the ring and they start to get a plan together to give me the surprise of a lifetime.
