Chapter Five
"Oh damn it why was I so stupid?" Java cursed herself as tears filled her dark eyes, she had done it once again, she had become a slave to Mega's will and could never tell if he really wanted her of is she was just another notch on his bed post?
There was just something about him which made her wish that she was still with him, that she had never been so stupid as to loose him in the first place. A regretful sigh escaped her lips as she brushed away the latest tear that she had wept for him. She had wept every night since she had lost him hardly being able to think about anything except him and how much she wanted him back. There was nothing about him that she did not miss.
His dark eyes and soothing lips still ran around her brain but finally she realised that there was no future for them. He had probably had one hundred girlfriends since his time with her and there was no way that she could erase all of them from his mind however hard she tried to do so.
A slow sadistic smirk tugged at the corner of Ebony's ruby mouth as she moved into Java's office and looked the other woman up and down in a mixture of amusement and disgust. This was what Mega preferred to her; there was no way that she was going to allow that to happen for very much longer. Mega was hers and only hers … whether he knew it yet or not.
The sound of Ebony's heavy foot steps echoed around the room as she moved into the centre of it as if taunting Java by her mere presence.
"Who the hell are you?" Java snapped spinning around to see Ebony standing in the middle of her office.
"Who do you think, sugar", Ebony purred slightly, moving behind Java's next to sit in her chair.
"I think that you had better tell me your business and get the hell out of my office", Java roared causing Ebony's smirk to grow. Java's quickness to fly off the handle proved to Ebony that she had her right were she wanted her and that she was going to win in the end.
"Well", she said slowly making Java wait for the answer, "when I heard Mega speaking about his ex I thought that I simply must find out who she was and if she was any competition for me. From your photo I was pretty sure that you were not but I thought that I had better make sure, and what do you know, you aren't. I guess that I might as well not even have bothered".
"How dare she talk to me this way", Java thought, as she pulled herself up tall, "Please get out of my office immediately. I do not know who you are or what my Mega could possibly want with you but whatever you function was, whore, your services are no longer required".
"Oh well since you asked so nicely", Ebony grinned wickedly rising from the chair. "I think that my services will be very much needed as you do not look like you could last a night with him. Look at you, cheeks wet with tears, you would probably pass out from knowing some of the things that we get up to. I could take him away from you like that", she announced snapping her fingers, "however that would not give me the same satisfaction as this will. You think that you are all that, well hunny here is your chance to prove it. I will give you three weeks to make your move on him so that when I take him back you will know that it is because you are not good enough. Or maybe I will get bored, maybe I will decide that I do not want him back. Either way it will be fun to see your squirm. Happy hunting, dear".
Ebony purred her whole final sentence taking Java's chin in her hand to make her pay attention and licking her cheek to freak her out. Seeing that her task was accomplished she strode out of the door laughing heartily.
"Damn her", Java screamed throwing the first thing that came to hand across the room. The magazine landed on the opposite side of the room, open, that horrid girl's face staring back at Java.
Within a second Java was across the room and picking up the magazine and reading, "She's hot, sexy and the latest thing to sweep the country. She is Ebony!"
"Oh she is, is she?" Java's voice a low cackle, "Well, we will just have to see about that. Doris", she called to her assistant, "Get me the head of every major magazine in the country".
If only I had known what Java meant to do at the time then I would have stopped her. If only I have known that Ebony still had feelings for me I would have talked to her, but alas I knew neither of these things. To me they were both just the women that I loved. Hot. Sexy. Volatile. But I never dreamed that they would destroy each other like they did.
