Dark Paradise Chapter 20: Cold Shoulder, a boondocks fanfic

Am I just a fool?

Blind and stupid for loving you

Am I just a silly girl?

So young and naive to think you were the one

who came to take claim of this heart

Jazmine sat down on the concrete with Simba by her side. She couldn't run any longer, her body was sore thanks to Huey. Why did she have to have sex with him? He has a wife and baby on the way, and they could never have a future. Even if they were to try to be together, she would always have to deal with Amelia, and she didn't want to deal with that bitch, and her baby mama shit.

to take claim of this heart

Cold-hearted,

shame you'll remain

just a frame in the dark

She feels like a fool. She should have stayed with her husband, it seemed like he was ready to change his ways. Maybe she should forget about Huey and give Manuel another chance. Fear rushes upon her body when she thinks of how angry her husband will be when he sees her, she couldn't go to her husband now, he would most likely beat her ass for stealing his car, and leaving him stranded at the gas station.

Am I queen of fools?

Wrapped up in lies and foolish jewels

What do I see in you?

"Jazmine!" Huey shouted as he finally made it to her side. She didn't look at him because she felt dirty like the whore she was, especially since she enjoyed the sex, and she wanted to do it again, but why is she thinking like this?

Maybe I'm addicted to all the things you do

"Jazmine, listen to me!" he exclaimed, sitting by her. Why did he always have to yell, she thought. He must have read her mind because he lowered his voice.

"Jazmine," he said softly, wrapping his arms tightly around her. She didn't pull away because she loves his touch.

Cause I keep thinking you were the one

who came to take claim of this heart

Cold-hearted, shame you'll remain

just a frame in the dark

"Jazmine, I apologize for letting my anger disregard my true feelings for you. It pained me inside to say the things I said about you. If you could take it back, I would because I don't think of you that way" he explained, touching her face, " you're extremely beautiful, caring, humble, fun, generous, brave, intelligent, adventurous, talented, funny and wise "

She scoffed. "Yeah right!" she said."I'm none of those things especially intelligent" she mumbled. "I never accomplished anything. I was lucky to even finish high school, thanks to Manuel. The only thing I'm good at is taking off my clothes" she said, feeling ashamed of herself.

"Jazmine, that's not true," Huey said, kissing her forehead." You can do anything, I believe in you"

"No! stop feeling pity for me!" She shouted, standing up." What do you want from me? Amelia is perfect for you! You two are so compatible, you guys have so much in common" she explained, her salty tears falling from her puffy eyes. " That's why you were with her more because you had realized that she was the better choice," She said, her heart burning, her voice cracking.

The people are talking, the people are saying

That you have been playing my heart

like a grand piano

The people are talking, the people are saying

That you have been playing my heart

like a grand piano

So play on, play on, play on

Play on, play on,

play on

Play on, play on, play on Play on, play on

Huey stood up and went in front of her. "Jazmine, I'm deeply sorry that I wasn't there for you. When I met Amelia, I won't lie to you. I was attracted to her, but I think what attracted me to her was the fact that she was more like me, and she did things with me that you didn't want to do, you know, the boring stuff" he admitted. " However, I never looked at her in the way I looked at you. At the time, she was only a friend to me."

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now

Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down

Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

He sighs deeply.

"And I wanted to be there for you, but it was so hard because you kept asking questions that I couldn't answer, like will he be okay? Is he getting better? I didn't want to lie to you, but I didn't want to hurt you with the truth either," he admitted.

He grabbed her hands and intertwined them with his.

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

"But that's not an excuse, I was selfish. I should have been there, I should have supported you like you had always done for me. I should have taken you out on dates, brought your favorite peonies and m ." He said laying her hands on his chest." I should have told you that I loved you more often, I should have held you in my arms that day, and never let go, instead, I let you run into Caesar's arms" he said, feeling his heart ache.

It all just sounds like oooooh

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That I should've bought you flowers

And held your hand

Should've gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party '

Cause all you wanted to do was dance

" Amelia and I may have things in common, but you were the better one for me. Before I met you, I was depressed, broken, and I hated everything, and blamed everyone for my parents death. I was anti-social and everyone thought I was this careless person who didn't have feelings," he sighed. "But deep down inside I was hurting and I wanted to cry badly, but I had too much pride and anger, but when I met you, that all changed" he said, giving her a weak smile. "At first, I was annoyed at how naive you were and I envied you because you were always spoiled by your parents and you were always so happy," he admitted.

Although it hurts I'll be the first to say that I was wrong

Oh, I know I'm probably much too late To try and

apologize for my mistakes But I just want you to know

She smiled at the thought of her parents as he continued.

"You are nothing like me, but that's what made me fall in love with you the most," he said, kissing her hands as he held them. "I never fell in love with Amelia the way I did with you because you were always on the back of my mind. It killed me to see you with another man. I wanted to rip Manuel's face off because he had the woman I let slip from my grasp and I couldn't stand it." He revealed, feeling angry for letting Jazmine go.

Should've bought you flowers

And held your hand

should've gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party '

Cause all you wanted to do was dance

"I wish I could make you believe me when I say that, I'm so in love with you and you mean the world to me, and I'll do anything for you Jazmine" he said, looking deep into her tearful eyes.

Jazmine stares into his eyes for a moment, then she finally speaks.

"You want to prove to me that what you are saying is the truth then, leave that evil wife of yours!" she stated, pulling away from him and folding her arms.

"Jazmine, I can't now, she's having my son, I can't abandon her" he said, grabbing Jazmine's shoulders, hoping she would understand.

"Then what the hell you want from me?You want me to be your fucking mistress?" she shouted, pushing him out of the way.

"No! That's not what I want! I want us to be in a relationship, damn it Jazmine! we just can't right now" he shouted back. He wanted to be with Jazmine, but he wanted them to wait until the time was right.

"So what are we going to do? Wait until the kid turns one or something? that's even worse Huey!" Jazmine exclaimed, her hands on her hips.

"Jazmine" he sighs deeply " I don't know, I just don't want you to go back to your husband, and I don't want him hurting you again," he said with anger in his voice. He hated the thought of Manuel putting his hands on Jazmine.

" What's the fucking difference Huey? You hurt me as well! Maybe not physically but mentally! and for the record, my husband has changed!" Jazmine shouted, defending her husband for some reason. "He's a better person now and he loves me" she defended. "At least he doesn't use me for sex than crawl back to his pregnant wife!" She shouted, still feeling jealous.

"What! Are you serious Jazmine? he beats and rapes you, then pimps you out for a fucking movie role!" He shouted back. What the hell was her problem? " You call that love, wow Jazmine!, you really are insane maybe you should take your ass back to the mental-"

'WHACK!'

Huey's head turned roughly due to the impact of Jazmine's hard slap.

He blew his breath and growled loudly, picking up a huge rock and throwing it at Manuel's car, breaking the window to pieces. Then, he angrily punched the car repeatedly, putting deep dents on it. Jazmine was on the ground with her knees to her chest whimpering loudly, her face buried in her hands.

That night Huey finally calmed down and managed to get Jazmine back inside the car. During the drive to his mansion, they sat in the car silently, both of them were too angry and hurt to speak to one another. Once they arrived, The moment Huey walked in with Jazmine by his side, Amelia was enraged. She flipped out and tried to attack Jazmine with a knife, but was pulled away by Huey, who grabbed the knife from her. Things got so out of hand that Huey had to move Jazmine into the second house.

He moved all of her stuff including the huge canopy bed that was in the guest room she was staying in. He wanted her to feel comfortable and safe, so he asked Isabella to stay with her which wasn't a problem for Isabella, who was thrilled and crying with tears of joy. Now It's been three days and Jazmine and Huey haven't seen or spoken to one another. He spent his time going back and forth to work and catering to his wife who was acting like a spoiled brat.

You're everything I thought you never were

And nothing like I thought you could have been

But still you live inside of me,

So tell me how is that?

You're the only one I wish I could forget

The only one I love to not forgive

And though you break my heart,

You're the only one

It was the middle of the night and Jazmine couldn't sleep, it was hard to sleep. How could she sleep when all she did was cry all day. She was tired of feeling so weak, she just wanted to leave, but she was too afraid to face her husband. He didn't try to come back to get her which was oddly strange.

She wishes that Isabella was up so she could make her sweet cinnamon milk, so it could help her sleep because she was tired of thinking of Huey, though she missed him so much.

And though there are times when I hate you

'Cause I can't erase The times that you hurt me

and put tears on my face And even now, while I hate you,

It pains me to say I know I'll be there at the end of the day

Huey doesn't love her because if he did, it wouldn't be so hard to leave his wife. He keeps using the baby as an excuse. She didn't want to deal with Amelia, but she believes that she could settle with the baby. She knows that if she loves Huey, then she will love his baby just as much. She didn't mind playing step-mom besides, she has always wanted a child of her own. she was willing to deal with it, though she didn't want to, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

You say you've got the most respect for me

But, sometimes I feel you're not deserving of me

And still, you're in my heart But you're the only one

What is she thinking? How could she break a child's home before he is born? She didn't remember what happened to her parents, but she would do anything to have them back in her life. She wishes she could at least remember her childhood memories with them. She would hate to be the reason for Huey's son to live an unhappy childhood.

She will just have to let him go somehow, but she loves him and she wants to stay, but if she stays any longer she might die of a broken heart. She doesn't want to be the broken hearted girl anymore.

I don't wanna be without you, babe I don't want a broken heart

Don't wanna take a breath without you, babe I don't wanna play that part

I know that I love you, but let me just say I don't wanna love you in no kind of way,

no no I don't want a broken heart I don't wanna play

the broken-hearted girl No, no, no broken-hearted girl I'm no broken-hearted girl

'Knock'

'Knock''

"Euugh!"Jazmine growled loudly, getting soap in her eyes. She hated being interrupted while taking a shower. Maybe if she ignores it will go away.

'Ding dong'

Seriously? Who rings the bell! wait, it must be Huey! Oh, I'm definitely not going to answer that, she thought as she continued washing her hair in the hot shower.

Huey sighed deeply as he took out his spare key and the door, letting himself in. The house was dark, she must be asleep, he thought. But second thought when he heard the shower running. He was heading towards the bathroom, but he thought about it, what if it was Isabella? He would hate for her to see him as some type of pervert.

Maybe Jazmine's in bed, he thought as he headed for the stairs, but stopped when he heard a sound of singing coming from the bathroom. The voice was soft angelic with a hint of sultry in the tone. Yeah, that's definitely Jazmine.

Jazmine sung,

Think I just remembered something

I think I left the faucet running

Now my words are filling up the tub

Darling, you're just soaking in it

But I know you'll get out the minute

You notice all your fingers pruning up

He laughed quietly as he imagined Jazmine dancing in the shower pretending to be in a music video.

Jazmine held the back wash stick pretending it was a mic dancing as she sung,

I'm tired of being careful, tip-toe, trying to keep the water warm

Let me under your skin Uh-oh, there it goes, I said too much,

it overflowed Why do I always spill?

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

Huey felt chills run through his veins as he begins to understand the lyrics that she was perfectly singing,

Think I got myself in trouble

So I fill the bath with bubbles

Then I'll put the towels all away

Should've never said the word "love

Threw a toaster in the bathtub

I'm sick of all the games I have to play

I'm tired of being careful, tip toe,

trying to keep the water warm

Let me under your skin Uh-oh,

there it goes, I said too much,

it overflowed Why do I always spill?

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

Jazmine giggled then she switched the lyrics,

I don't ever ask you Where you've been

And I don't feel the need to Know who you're with

I can't even think straight But I can tell

That you were just with her

And I'll still be a fool I'm a fool for you

tears welled in her eyes as she sung the chorus,

Just a little bit of your heart

Just a little bit of your heart is all I want

Just a little bit of your heart

Just a little bit is all I'm asking for

I want to give you all of my heart, he thought. He turned the door knob and opened the door. He could see Jazmine's curvy figure through the clear shower curtain. He felt like a creep checking her out without her knowing. Instead of just walking out the bathroom to give her some privacy, he shut off the lights, which startled her, causing her to gasp loudly.

"Bella, is that you?" She asked nervously.

Huey stepped closer.

"Who's there!" She shouted, now frightened.

He didn't want her to have a heart attack so he spoke up

"It's me," He said softly, turning on the candle light.

No, response..

"Jazmine"

No, response..

Yeah, she was still mad at him. He walked closer to the shower curtain. She felt her heart racing as he slid the curtain slightly aside so he could see her. He could tell she had been crying when he stared into her green puffy watery eyes. Her nose was stuffed, and her lips were swollen, but overall she looked like a goddess with her soaked olive skin and her long curly wet hair, glowing in the candlelight.

"Huey? W-w-what are you doing?" She asked nervously as he grab the back of her neck, pulling her closer.

Do I imagine it, or do I see your stare?

Is there still longing there?

"I missed you" he whispered as he pressed his lips against hers, he missed the sugary taste of her sweet tongue. He felt her lips trembling as he began to suck and bite on them tenderly. Jazmine couldn't take it anymore, his kisses were so addictive. She wanted him badly, screw his wife, she thought as she pulled the collar of his shirt inviting him in the shower.

Oh I hate myself, and I feel crazy such a classic tale"

He took a step back and removed his clothes. She watched in admiration, he had the body of a God. He was built all over but not too much muscle, just right. He gave Channing Tatum a run for his money, his strong arms and biceps chest matching his tight six-pack abs that would make any woman drool. His legs were built and he had a huge- Amelia wasn't lying about him being blessed down there,well she was the first to see it, but damn he grew, she thought.

"Current girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, I'm trying to be cool Am I being paranoid?

Am I seeing things? Am I just insecure?

They kissed with passion, thirst, and hunger as the lukewarm water hit their heads. Jazmine moaned loudly as she felt her body tingling. Huey felt himself harden as he ran his hands all over her ass, nibbling on her warm neck. Once they're hot, tempting kiss ended, they leaned their foreheads against each other and stared into each other's eyes, both breathing heavily.

want to believe It's just you and me

Sometimes it feels like there's three of us in here, baby

"I'm so sorry," He said sincerely.

"Just kiss me more," she demanded breathlessly. She was tired of hearing him apologize. An apology won't fix her broken heart; she just needed to feel his soft kisses and his touch.

So I wait for you to call And I try to act natural

Have you been thinking about her or about me?

And while I wait I put on my perfume,

Yeah, I want it all over you

I'm gonna mark my territory

Things got heated when he lifted her, holding her body up as he pumped inside her, making her moan loudly. She hopes she doesn't wake Isabella, sounding like a porn star as he thrust faster and deeper. The hot water had faded and it was pouring cold, but they didn't care to notice.

I'll never tell, tell on myself, but I hope she smells my perfume

After they finished, they washed each other off. Huey wrapped a towel around his waist and wrapped her, picking her up bridal style, heading to the bedroom to start their second round of love making.

I hide it well, hope you can't tell, but I hope she smells my perfume

He tries to climb on top of her, but she pushed him off and hopped on top of him.

"Let me please you" she said in a seductive tone as she kissed his lips in a gentle,sensual and arousing way, sucking on his upper lip, and roughly biting on his lower lip. He moaned softly as she continued on to his neck, chest, stomach, and all the way down kissing and licking her way to his penis.

He groaned quietly and breathed rapidly as she demonstrated her love for him, taking him into her mouth, moving patiently, starting with the tip.

"You like that baby?" she asked seductively, massaging his dick, rubbing it with her hands smoothly. He nodded his head and bit his lower lip as he pulled her head down, signaling her to continue.

She took him in her mouth again, but this time speeding up her pace and stroking his dick with her hand roughly, going deeper until it was in her throat.

"Shit" he cursed.

"Fuck" he cursed again.

"Jazmine," He moaned. His body felt weak; he never felt this weak when Amelia went down on him, only Jazmine had that power over him. Without consciously thinking, he reached out and touched her head, running his fingers through her hair, gripping it. she gagged a little, but regained herself and sped up her movements, secretly enjoying his reaction.

"Jazmine" he gasped inaudibly "Jazmine" he repeated, he needed her to stop before he explodes.

"Jazmine!" He shouted as he struggled to breathe, finally getting her attention. She licked her lips and she crawled back up to his chest.

"Yes?" she asked innocently, rubbing his muscles and rocking her hips on him, sitting on his dick.

Damn, what hell is she doing to me, he thought.

He was about to speak, but his cell phone rung loudly, vibrating roughly on the table by the bed.

He gently flipped Jazmine off him and reached over to answer his phone. It was his wife, he hesitated at first, but answer as Jazmine folded her arms angrily.

"Where the hell are you! Are you with that whore again?" Amelia shouted roughly. "Baby, I need you to take care of me, please come back home" she pleaded, making her voice sound like she was in pain. The only pain she felt was her heartbreaking she knew he was with that slut.

Huey sighed deeply "I'm on my way okay," he said calmly before hanging up. He got up quickly and went into the closet and threw on the spare clothes he had there.

Jazmine sat up from the bed with the blankets covering her chest. He walked up to her and kissed her forehead, " I have to go" he announced.

I wanna fill the room when she's in it with you

Please don't forget me

Do I imagine it, or catch these moments?

I know you got history

She didn't respond, just buried her face with her hands, her tears wetting her fingers as she cried silently.

But I'm your girlfriend, now I'm your girlfriend trying to be cool

I hope I'm paranoid, that I'm just seeing things, that I'm just insecure

I want to believe It's just you and me

Sometimes it feels like there's three of us in here, baby

He wanted to crawl back to bed and hold her till she fell asleep. He wanted to stay with her and wake up to see her beautiful face in the morning. He wanted to say he was sorry and that he was going to break things off with Amelia, but it wasn't that simple, so, instead, he walked away.

Jazmine watched as Huey left the room. She listened to his footsteps as he made his way downstairs, then she heard the door shut and lock. She wanted to chase after him and beg him to stay but she had no right. He was going back to his wife, where he belongs.

Though Jazmine knows it's wrong for her to feel this way, secretly she hopes when he crawls back in bed with Amelia that she will smell her scent on him, just a reminder that he was also hers too.

So I, wait for you to call and I try to act natural

Have you been thinking about her or about me?

And while I wait I put on my perfume,

Yeah, I want it all over you

I'm gonna mark my territory

I'll never tell, tell on myself, but I hope she smells my perfume

I hide it well, hope you can't tell but I hope she smells my perfume

"Baby, I missed you" Amelia shouted excitedly.

You say it's all in my head And the things

I think just don't make sense So where you been then?

Don't go all coy Don't turn it 'round on me like it's my fault

See I can see that look in your eyes

The one that shoots me each and every time (every time)"

"Are you okay, what hurts?" Huey asked, sitting her gently on the bed, so he could begin rubbing her feet and back like he always does before bed.

My heart hurts, Amelia thought.

You grace me with your cold shoulder

Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

You shower me with words made of knives

Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

"Oh nothing, I'm just ready to go to bed now" she said, faking a yawn.

Time and time again, I play the role of fool (Just for you)

Even in the daylight when you think that I don't see you

Try to look for things I hear but our eyes never find

'Though I do know how you play

"Okay let's go to bed then" he said, holding her in his arms. She buried her face in his chest as he stared at the ceiling.

He couldn't bear to see Jazmine cry the way she did when he left her. He knew he hurt her again by making her feel used. He wanted to stop hurting her and Amelia. He knows that he's being selfish, he needs to do the right thing before things get out of hand. He feels guilty because his wife has been nothing but faithful to him, while he was busy in bed with Jazmine while she waited for him to come home.

How could he do this to his wife? He'll never love her more than he loves Jazmine, but she was carrying his child and she didn't deserve the treatment he was giving her.

Though he wanted to end things with Amelia because he had fallen out of love with her and was more in love with Jazmine, he needed to end his affair with Jazmine for the sake of his baby, however, It was going to be a hard pill to swallow.

Amelia could smell Jazmine's scent on him, as always, she thought angrily.

You grace me with your cold shoulder

Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

You shower me with words made of knives

Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

She waited until Huey was deep asleep then she grabbed the home phone, and tiptoed down the stairs, she needed to handle some business. She dialed the number quickly, tapping her foot impatiently, waiting for the idiot to answer.

"Aww, babe you missed me" Kenneth said, smiling widely.

"Not exactly, I need a favor," Amelia said in a serious tone.

"Anything you name it" he said, sitting up from his office seat.

"I need you to find any information you can about Jazmine DuBois, like maybe you can hack into her medical records? find out what medication she was addicted to?" Amelia explained.

"Hold on, I'll check now," he said typing fast.

Amelia blew her breath loudly and tapped her nails on the counter impatiently.

5 minutes later...

"Okay I found something, it seems like she was taking two different pills everyday all at once before she overdosed," He explained.

"Okay good I'm going to need them" Amelia requested.

"Amelia, it's not good for the baby, no way I'm giving you those, are you crazy!" Kenneth shouted angrily.

"Not for me you idiot! That whore is going to need them"Amelia shouted slightly.

"How so?" Kenneth asked.

"Let's just say it won't be an attempt this time," Amelia said, thinking of her plan.

"W-wait, babe? you're not thinking of k-killing her are you?" Kenneth asked nervously, his voice filled with worry.

"No, she's going to kill herself and you're going to fill the pills with a little something I call, cocaine" Amelia said in a vicious tone. " and also, I need to know what urged her to overdose" she instructed.

"Hmm, it really doesn't say ,but according to her primary doctor her depression started after they discovered she had a certain medical issue" he explained.

"Really? And what would that be?"Amelia asked, now she was definitely interested.

She gasped and her eyes widened along with her smile when he told her Jazmine's medical issue.

"So babe, do you want another round, 2"he asked seductively, referring to when Amelia and him recently had makeup sex while Huey was at work.

She cringed at the thought, she didn't love his ass. She was just stress because her husband was too busy thinking of that whore to fuck her, Once she gets rid if Jazmine for good, she was going to get rid of Kenneth too, so she could focus on her husband and her son.

"Umm, I'll think about it" she lied.

"Okay, I love you baby" he said softly, hoping she would say it back.

"Yea, yea I'll get the medication tomorrow" she said, rolling her eyes,getting to the point.

"Okay bye I-"he tried.

'Click'

She hung up quickly, she thought she told his ass that he wasn't nothing but a stress reliever. Her heart belongs and will always be for Huey Freeman.

"He's not going to want her ass once he discovers the truth about her, then she'll be so hurt that she's going to want to die," she mumbled as she crawled back in bed with her sleeping husband.

She smiled as she closed her eyes and thought to herself, got the dirt and shovel, Now it's time to bury that bitch!
