Chapter 6: Revealing My Heart & Soul
BARK BARK BARK!
Huey and Jazmine looked down at a little black and white Boston Terrier growling at him.
"Moki that's enough!" Jazmine said but Moki kept on barking.
Huey let out a high whistle. Moki stopped barking and sat down on the floor. Huey gave him a treat that was on the counter.
"Yours?" he asked.
"Moki wouldn't be here if he wasn't," she replied.
"Seems like a good dog," he said.
"He is but you are stalling Huey," Jazmine said.
She was right but it wasn't easy to admit that it was his fault that it happened.
"It isn't easy to admit Jazmine but there something happened out there in those woods." he said taking a deep breath. "We were meant to fail at that point."
"What do you mean?" Jazmine asked.
"That night, when you left…"
:
Huey watch Jazmine leave. He had no idea what was happening to him or her. But something had to be done about it.
"Master?"
He had forgotten Eva was there but she didn't help the situation. Whatever Jazmine thought what was going on wasn't. And he needed to find her and fast.
"Eva return to your master," he said, walking passed her. Tito gave him a look of concern when he headed upstair. Jazmine was most likely on route home and that is where he was heading.
"What do you know fucker," he heard Cairo behind him. Huey stared at him looking right at him.
"She's gone isn't she?"
"Fuck off Cairo," Huey said, trying to leave but Cairo couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"Do you know how easy it was to get her away from you? And guess what?"
Huey could feel himself filling with rage. And his target?
"I guess she's mine now," he said smirking.
Was Cairo.
Huey didn't hold back when he flung his fist against Cairo's face. Cairo tried to defend himself but Huey wasn't letting him go. He wasn't going to have Jazmine. Never!. Huey let out everything onto his face until other Doms were pulling him off of Cairo.
Cairo was threatening to press charges, making the owner of the club to come out.
"Master Freeman, I cannot allow this!" he said, "this club is for the safety of our lifestyle and I cannot allow you to become aggressive in my club!"
"I don't give a fuck. He got what he deserves," Huey said angry, "and as for the safety of my sub. I thought it was a protocol that if anything happens to an already taken submission if threaten than they could go into a safe room in the back?"
"That has nothing to do with the situation we are currently in Master Freeman."
"It has everything to do with what happen. Cairo has coming onto my submission for years now and she had every right to hit him. But your employees didn't protect her as I had to attend a meeting."
"Well than if you think that we are unsafe than I will personally remove your membership personally," he said.
"Go for it. I don't want it anymore," Huey said leaving as other Doms were questioning their stay as well.
He didn't care. Cairo got what he deserve and headed out. Fuck his meeting, fuck the club and fuck Cairo. He needed to know if Jazmine was alright.
But when he arrived at the house, it seemed cold and angry. Something wasn't right.
"Jazmine?"
But she didn't answered. Huey ran up the stairs to see if she was in her room. She wasn't there. She wasn't anywhere in the house. Where was she?
That's when he saw her collar sitting on the dining room with a letter beside it.
Huey picked up the letter and reading it. She left. She left.
He saw the tear marks on the paper knowing that she was sad.
It hurt.
He never thought that it would all be coming down to this.
Huey ended up destroying his house. Everything but her bedroom. Because she left, and he had no idea how to find her.
:
"You lost your membership," Jazmine stated, "because of what happen."
"I was proud when I found out that you beat the living shit out of him. But the bartenders should have known something was off with the situation. If I can't trust my submission's safety where it is suppose to be a safe environment because I had to attend a meeting than fuck them," Huey said.
"Why didn't you want me at your meeting?"
"Because you would have distracted me," he said simply.
Jazmine was offended. She would have left him alone.
"Please do not take it the wrong way. I wanted you to relax and enjoy yourself instead of dealing with one of my business assoitates. If I was smarter than I would have brought you with me but put you in a place where I could keep an eye on you. At the time, I thought the bar would be alright. I know you would have had a drink and watch the performances and I would deal with the meeting."
"But that doesn't explain your reaction. You were going to punish me for protecting myself," she said.
"I am going to admit that I was all over the place. I was proud that you protected yourself. My associate commented on you and your behaviour, telling me how disrespectful you were and how he would have handle it. I was in Dom mode and you didn't listen to me. But once I had all the facts, I realized that I wasn't in a good place to be your Dom. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that when I should have protected you and for my own behaviour. I do hope one day you can forgive me because that was not me that night. I can't believe it happened to me as well."
"What happened to you?"
:
BANG BANG BANG
Huey woke up from his deep sleep. He realize that he was on the floor in Jazmine's room. Well what was Jazmine's room. It had been three weeks since she walked away and all he could feel was the pain of losing her. For the first time in Huey's life, he didn't know what to do.
BANG BANG BANG
Huey rubbed his tired eyes and went downstairs. He saw the destruction he did over the weeks. The chandelier was on the floor, furniture was toss and laying sideways or upside down and many holes in the wall due to Huey kick and punching them. He didn't even bother to clean up because who did he want to impress?
But all he could feel was the pain because all he could see was Jazmine everywhere.
BANG BANG BANG
"Alright I'm coming! Fuck!"
But Huey wishes he didn't open the door. Because there he saw his old Master.
Bushido Brown.
"I have been hearing a lot of things as of lately Huey," he said walking in. Bushido looked around the room taking in all of the damage.
"First of all, I have been hearing things about you have a sub?" he asked, "and where is she? You know I like to meet them."
"She gone," Huey said with a bit of emotion in his voice.
"Gone? Well I wonder what happen," Bushido said, "because I got a call from another Dom at the club, stating that you beat the living shit out of Cairo. Than the owner of that club removed your membership due to a fight. This isn't a good look on me Huey. And there is the matter of your submission in question. "
Huey didn't know what to say. Because he knew he was being selfish but he wanted to keep Jazmine to himself.
"You better come clean boy," he said, "or I will make you life a living hell."
I'm already there, he thought.
"Cairo was after my submission. Saying fucked up things of disrespect and nasty shit," Huey said angry, "I don't regret what I did to him."
"And what about the girl? Did you make sure she was alright?"
"No. She left that night."
That was a hard pill for Huey to swallow. He didn't know if she was okay or not.
"How long were you with this submissive?"
"Four years."
"For years," Bushido said, "four years and you didn't have the decently to introduce us. I know you Huey and I have the feeling that somehow you fucked up. Because a submission wouldn't have left if something awful hadn't happened. What did you do and you better tell me what happen."
"I don't know what happen. Things were fine until she sub drop," Huey said.
"Sub drop? When did this happened and what did you do?" Bushido said.
"It happened about a couple of months ago. I gave her space, talked with her and thought she was alright."
"Did you take her to see someone?"
"I gave her space until we went to the club I thought she was fine. I didn't see the need for Jazmine to see someone about it!"
BAM!
Huey fell to the floor with his cheek in pain.
"A sub drop Huey, do you know how dangerous that can be?" Hitting Huey again when he got back up.
"Now that she was gone, we can't progress her to make sure she alright," he said, throwing Huey up against the wall.
WHACK!
Shit where did he get the whip from?
"She could be in serious depression where she could hurt herself."
WHACK!
"Even kill herself over it."
WHACK!
"And we have no idea how she will be able to pull through."
WHACK!
"And if she is fuck up from it."
WHACK!
"Than I am going to blame it on you."
WHACK WHACK WHACK!
Listening to his old master telling him what could be happening to Jazmine, Huey took his punishment with no protest from Bushido. Because in Huey's mind, he is getting what he deserves.
"Bushido stop!"
They looked to see Bushido's wife, Ebony standing at the door. The look of concern was well written on her face.
"Something isn't right here Bushido," she said staring at Huey, "something happened."
"Yes because he fucked up badly. If this girl is mentally unstable because of him-"
They heard Huey chocked on that statement. Tears were coming from his eyes but Huey felt the failure of his decision. He should have done something. Anything.
"Oh my," Ebony said, "no wonder why he didn't catch it."
"Catch what?" Bushido asked his wife.
:
"Huey I don't understand," said Jazmine, cleaning out the mugs they had tea in.
"Because what happen was rare. Extremely rare and I was too selfish keeping you to myself that I had no one else there to see the signs," Huey said.
"Signs?"
"Jazmine. That day in the woods, we both dropped," Huey said, "and I wasn't acting like the Dom I should have been for you. We were both fucked up so bad by our emotions that it failed. Our trust, communication and our drive. I know everything that night led up to that and it didn't help that Dom I was meeting with sub was calling me master. I could only imagine what you were thinking."
"It wasn't the only thing. Other subs were getting ready to submit to you. I heard them in the bathroom," she said.
Huey ran his hands over his face.
"I already know the other reason why you left. I not only respect you too much to do that but I would have talk to you if I was planning on dropping you," he said, "but I wouldn't because I wanted you for myself and that was my biggest downfall."
"I don't understand."
"It was my master that told me what to do."
:
"I dropped?" Huey said in a dazed.
"By how emotional you were than I would say yes," Ebony said, cleaning the gashes on Huey's back. "You are not an emotional man but the tears were a dead giveaway."
Bushido manage to make a suitable sitting arrangements for them to talk. He was in deep thought on everything Huey told them. How he met Jazmine when they were young, from firing his last housekeeper to the idea she gave him. Finding Jazmine at the club and everything they have done. Even that fateful day in the woods together.
"But I was careful," Huey said, "I didn't want to hurt her, just please her. And I can't find her."
"Huey when was the last time you dated anyone?" Bushido asked suddenly.
"What?"
"Have you ever taken anyone on a date?"
Huey shook his head. He never needed to date because being a Dom was the right path.
"Than you don't get the emotions that go with dating or having a vanilla relationship. I know it isn't easy," he said holding onto Ebony's hand and kissing it, "but being with someone who you want both with isn't easy but worth it. Because you get all of you needs met. But if you don't understand that other need than you are only half of what you are worth."
"I don't understand," Huey said.
"You need to begin dating."
"Bushido! He just lost someone he loves and you are telling him to date?" Ebony said.
Huey knows the truth of his emotion. He loves her. He loves Jazmine. Everything about her.
"Not right away because he had to clean this shit up," Bushido said, "but if he wants to have something with this Jazmine girl than he needs to find out what he wants in a everyday woman. Thus dating other women would be a good start."
"I don't want to find someone else," Huey said suddenly, "and she's gone and I have no clue where I can find her. But there will be no one else."
"Than use that time to better yourself," Bushido said, "because if she is the woman you are saying she is, than you may get another chance."
If he know where she is, Huey thought to himself.
"You are a smart man Huey and one that I am proud to know," Bushido said, "but you need to understand something other than this lifestyle. You were young when you enter it. You needed it because of the situation you were forced into. Now it's time to explore other options because that girl may want marriage, a family or even a career. What are you going to do when she wants those things?"
Huey really did have to think about those things. What if she wanted that?
"Have you ever wanted that?" Huey asked.
"I did," Ebony confessed, "but it wasn't meant to be."
Huey saw the sadness in their eyes. Because he knew that all they had was each other.
"But I do think Bushido is right," she said, "maybe it is best to date."
"Why?"
"Because when you do find Jazmine, your skills when you are ready to have something more with her than you are ready."
"Just like in having a sub," Bushido said, "it's best to understand what they want and what you want."
:
"So I did what they said. I started dating, finding out what I wanted in a vanilla relationship as I was trying to find you," Huey finally confessed, "than I started thinking about our time together and noticing that you wanted some aspect of a normal relationship. But something was holding you back and that is the reason why you left."
"And that is?"
"You left because you love me," Huey said.
Jazmine breath caught in her throat. How?
"I knew because Ebony give Bushido the same look you give to me," he said.
"You're not upset? That I love you?" Jazmine asked.
"No," he said.
"But you have your need for control," she said, "and I won't take that away from you."
"I doubt you could. There are other ways to options that aspect of my life. Even right now I am not a Dom, I'm still a boss that does have major control of my company."
"But you still want to be one," she stated.
"Yes," he confessed, "but with the right submission."
Jazmine nods in understanding.
"It is getting late and I should head back to my hotel," he said, "but I came here for one more purpose."
"What else did you came to do beside telling me what happened and the accounts?" Jazmine asked, "and there is so many questions that I have."
"I know. Have dinner with me tomorrow night?"
Jazmine looked at him in shocked. Is it just dinner or was it a date?
"I will tell you everything but please let me take you to dinner," Huey said.
"As friends or a date?" Jazmine asked.
"If you are comfortable as friends than we will go as friends. But I do prefer it to be a date," he said, grabbing is almost dry clothes.
"I'm not sure," she said.
"I know you are unsure but please let me because you do deserve it," he said, walking into her bathroom. He wanted to respect her boundaries even if she had seen his body.
Jazmine watched him go into her bathroom.
"What do I do Moki?" she asked her dog. Moki kiss her hand and wagged his tail. He always know how to make her feel better. But she didn't know what to do. She wasn't sure what his expectations are or what was going to come of this. She petted Moki wondering if she should accept. But there were so many questions she wanted answered.
"Have you decided or do you need more time?" Huey asked, coming back into the kitchen. He was dressed in his usual causal wear of jeans and a black t-shirt.
"Just dinner?" Jazmine asked meekly.
He nods, "I understand that this is strange to you Jazmine. But I would like to have another chance with you. But I think we need to go in a different direction than we were doing before. I want to know you as you are now, just as than."
After a statement like that, she really couldn't deny him. But how could she? If he was willing to give her the answers she needed to know than it couldn't hurt right?
"Okay," she said meekly.
Huey did something that surprise Jazmine, he smiled. She never seen him smile before. But it was more shocking when he went up and kiss her. He never done that before. But his lips were soft and warm. Two things she would never associate with Huey Freeman but here he is proving her wrong.
"Thank you," he said, "and get a good night sleep. I will pick you up at seven o'clock."
Huey petted Moki before grabbing his jacket that was still wet, slipping it on.
"Good night Jazmine," he said.
"Good night Huey."
Jazmine opened the door so Huey may leave but than she thought of something about their date.
"Huey what am I suppose to wear?" Jazmine said.
"Something nice," he said walking towards the staircase. Once he disappeared, Jazmine closed her door and leaned up against it. She didn't expect this to happen. Could there be another chance with Huey? Even if her life was in New York?
She guess that she will have to see as she headed into her bedroom. Changing into warm pjs, Jazmine called for Moki to bed. Once Moki was resting in his bed, Jazmine crawled into her own. This night was tiring for Jazmine. But she did fall asleep with a small smile on her face. Because there was something inside her that she hadn't felt in a long time.
Peace.
