Chapter 7: Surprise me

"ARRWHHHH!"

Jazmine screamed out in frustration as her bedroom was covered in clothing. Once she agree to go to dinner with Huey, she became suddenly nervous. This was something she wasn't sure of. The last time she went to dinner with Huey it was for her graduation. But she didn't know he had planned that. But this time she did and the nerves were starting to get to her as the time was growing closer.

Because when she woke up in the morning, she had her usual morning coffee, took Moki for his usual walk than made herself breakfast. She saw the documents that Huey had brought over for her. She was surprise that it was a national bank he used and had all of her current information on it. Even the pin number he used. She didn't understand the code but there was a post-it note stating that she should change that. Knowing that she needed to go there in the afternoon, she decided to get herself ready for the day.

After she had shower, Jazmine started to look for something to wear for the day and in the evening. But she couldn't find anything that she would deem acceptable for her 'date' with Huey.

Now she had a bit of a problem.

RING RING

As her phone was ringing, she was trying to find it as she step on something she ended up tripping onto the floor. But at least she could see her phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jazmine!"

"Hi Tia. What's going on?"

"I wanted to know if you are interested in having lunch with me? You really saved me last night," she said.

"I don't know Tia. I am going out tonight-"

"Like on a date?"

"Something like that?" Jazmine said not really sure what to say on that.

"Alright is it dinner?" Tia asked.

"Yes."

"With a man?"

"TIA!"

"Base on that reaction I am going with yes. Oh this is too exciting!"

All Jazmine could do was shake her head. Tia was always wanting to know her business. But she wanted to know everyone's business.

"What's the big deal? It's a free dinner and maybe something else on the side."

"That is not happening."

"I see so what are you going to wear?"

I'm having that problem now, Jazmine thought to herself.

"Are you having an issue with that?" Tia asked, "because I can help."

"I'm not sure what to wear. He said something nice," Jazmine said, trying to keep Huey's name out of it.

"Than you need a dress. Come on I'll treat you to lunch and we can most likely find something suitable."

Jazmine agreed and hung up the phone. She really needed help. It couldn't hurt right?

:

Jazmine was to say she was surprise spending time with Tia. She actually had a lot of fun. Jazmine was even surprise to find out how much they had in common. They both were animal lovers, even showing off their dogs. Tia had a really cute french bulldog name Tashi and it was great to show off her Moki. Both were into fashion and loved to be outdoors. They already had plans to go down to the beach when the weather got nicer. they ended up picking out bikinis for that day.

The girl defiantly knew her fashion and the best places to shop. She even help her find an amazing outfit for tonight that was acceptable in Jazmine's opinion.

A simple plum fitted dress with a cowl neckline. She was going to wear some diamond studded earrings she already had with a new black purse.

When Jazmine couldn't find shoes, Tia suggested that having a pair of nude shoes are a good thing to have when you are in a jam. What Jazmine like about it, it wasn't expensive and she was able to re-use them at another time.

They were hungry when they had finished and ended up going to a trendy spot near Prospect Park.

"Oh man I am famish!" Tia said after they ordering they'll meal.

"Thank you for helping me out. I can't believe how much fun that was."

"You never had girlfriends?"

Jazmine shook her head. "I was always on my own for as long as I can remember."

"What happen?"

"I don't know. I was always nice to people but they were never nice to me. I grew up in a prominent area and I guess that I didn't meet their expectations."

"Boyfriends?"

"I only had one but it ended badly."

"He cheated."

"No I was a bet."

"Ouch! What a bastard! No wonder why you like to be by yourself. I get it now and I am sorry that I pushed because I always thought you would be a fun person to hang out with. I didn't expect that happen to you," Tia said.

"I wish that I had someone to talk to when I was younger about these things. Sometimes I feel behind," Jazmine confessed.

"Well those people were stupid. And I don't think you are behind. You are more of a trend setter," Tia said, taking a sip of her water, "but we do need to hang out more often because I had a really good time today."

"Yeah it was. It was great finding someone who are into the same things as I am," Jazmine said smiling.

"And it's nice to talk to another sub."

Jazmine almost choked on her water. How did she know?

"Are you alright?" Tia asked looking concerned.

"Yeah but… how?"

"How did I know?"

Jazmine nods.

"Because I know the signs of a submission," Tia said like it wasn't a big deal.

"Please don't tell anyone. I am not one anymore," Jazmine said pleading.

"Jazzy relax I won't tell. To be honest I only know the signs because I am one as well," she said.

Tia's a submission? That idea seem to be crazy. At that moment the waitress brought their meals over.

"It's alright Jazmine," Tia said, "I know it does come as a shock but the women I know at my meetings are way to into it. I want to talk about fashion, nature, animals. Not how my master did this or that all of the time."

Jazmine laughs at hearing this. It was clear that Tia was comfortable talking about the lifestyle. There was so many questions she wanted to ask.

"How did you get into it?" Jazmine asked.

Tia laughs, "I was one when I turned eighteen. Than I met my boyfriend Michael and ended up in a vanilla relationship. But I craved the lifestyle so bad I ended up going to a club I use to frequent. Told my man I was going out for drinks but I wanted to watch the performances. He saw me there and we got into a huge fight about it. I honestly thought we were done but after a few days, he came over telling me that he was a Dom. He gave up his lifestyle just to try and be with me."

"Are you his sub?" Jazmine asked, wondering if this story has a happy ending.

"I am. After he dominated me for the first time, I couldn't be with any other man. He may hold the control in our lifestyle relationship but in our vanilla one, he holds the power. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for that man."

Jazmine smiles, knowing that they found a balance between their relationships.

"Now tell me about why you are no longer in the lifestyle," Tia said, "trust me I know a lot of women who left and never looked back."

"It's really hard to talk about. Have you ever heard of dropping?" Jazmine asked.

"Man that is rough. I never experience before but I do know women who have but they were alright."

"What about when your Dom and yourself drop at the same time and also finding out you have feelings for each other?"

"Does this have to do with you having dinner with a man tonight?"

She nods, wanting some sort of advice. Now knowing that Tia is a submission, who better to ask?

"Tell me everything," she said.

For some reason Jazmine felt that she could trust Tia. She told her about how they knew each other as kids, how she became his submission and employee, everything they have done right up to the night she left.

"He sounds like a good Dom," Tia said after a while.

"He was. I felt safe with him until after I drop and hearing things from other submissions. I don't think having a Dom I didn't like after me helped either."

"I can only imagine what you were going through, I wouldn't want to be in the position you were in. But for a Dom to experience the same thing at the same time? Because it's dangerous for not only your mental health but his as well. And I understand why it fell apart," Tia said, "what did he say when you accept his invitation to dinner?"

"He wanted it to be a date. When I said yes he kissed me and he never done that before," Jazmine confessed as she tried to hide her blushing cheeks.

Tia just laughs, "Oh than he is serious about this. Most Doms I know usually don't like kissing their subs because it creates unnecessary emotions. But I do give him props for that."

Jazmine smiles when she remember his kiss. But she was still worried if their date turned into a disaster.

"Even though I don't know his whole story but I get some answers out of it. I know that you came from Chicago when you started working with me. I take it he is from there?" Tia asked.

Jazmine nods.

"That's a long way for someone to come and see someone. And if he does have feelings for you like he said than he most likely wants to have a vanilla relationship with you only," Tia said.

"But I have all these questions in my head. He admitted to me he would like to go back into the lifestyle. But what if I don't? What if this relationship doesn't work? What if-"

"Whoa slow down. My advise take it a day at a time. Get to re know each other as a man and woman. And if you both want to go back into the lifestyle than that something you both have to discuss. Remember every dom/sub relationship is based on trust and communication. It pretty much the same thing as a vanilla relationship without the fun stuff," Tia said winking.

Jazmine's laughs but she felt better than she had in a long time.

"Go, enjoy yourself and talk about it. Don't be afraid to get your answers. And don't worry because if you need me just call."

:

Jazmine almost took her up on her offer to call but she decided that it was best to figure things out on her own.

To say Jazmine was nervous was an understatement. She was feeling like a wreck. Jazmine place the diamond earrings after she finished getting ready. Tia was right about getting the nude pumps because they did look amazing with her dress.

After putting on her make-up and styling her hair into a fish braid and leaving it hanging over her shoulder. Jazmine was surprised how beautiful she really felt.

"How do I look Moki?" she asked as she turned around for her dog. She felt a bit silly but she couldn't help it.

Moki barked and wagged his tail. Jazmine guess that he liked it giving her baby boy a treat from the counter.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Moki went crazy at the door. Now Jazmine's nerves were at the highest level she had ever felt. But Moki kept on barking as the knocking on door kept on.

"Moki down!" Jazmine said opening the door.

Huey stood there looking handsome. His wool black coat was open, showing his crisp black suit with a grey shirt underneath. He wore no tie, giving him a more casual look. But still looked like he could demand a room with respect and control.

"Hi come in," Jazmine said opening the door wider for Huey to enter. "I need to get my coat and we can go."

"Alright. These are for you," he said giving her a beautiful bouquet of pink and white lilies.

"Oh they're lovely," Jazmine said, taking them and inhaling their sweet scent. "Thank you Huey, you didn't have to."

"I wanted to," he said, "because you deserve this."

Jazmine had a hard time hiding her blush but the flowers gave her excuse to put them in water. It was thoughtful of him. As she was doing this, Moki barked at Huey, trying to get his attention. He grab a treat, tossing it to him.

"You're spoiling my dog," Jazmine said, setting the flowers onto the counter for now.

"I like him. You ready?"

"Almost," she said quickly putting on her red coat and grabbed her new handbag, she was ready to go.

"Alright Moki protect the house awhile I'm gone," Jazmine said as Moki gave his bark in responds. Huey raised an eyebrow at the exchange as Jazmine locked up her place for the night.

"Protect the house?" Huey asked as they walked downstairs to the streets below.

"When I first recused Moki, he was always hiding and never wanting to go anywhere. So when one night someone wanted to break in. Moki just went off. He ended up scaring the guy away. I praised him so much he gotten used to it. So every time I leave I say it so he knows he has a job to do," she said as they enter onto the streets. A cab was already waiting for them.

"I like him more now," Huey said causally, opening the door for Jazmine to get in.

Jazmine's laughs and gets in with Huey right behind her. He gives the cab driver a piece of paper. He immediately when into drive to their destination.

"Are you going to tell me where we are going?" Jazmine asked.

"No because you will see when we get there."

:

To put it mildly, this wasn't what Jazmine was expecting but it was a good surprise. They went to a restaurant call Zenkicki. It had a romantic atmosphere and also the booths were private, making it easier to talk. Dinner was delicious and their conversations were like when they were in a Dom/sub relationship. But this time it was different. As if a barrier was lifted because she felt now she could speak her mind freely. She could before but she couldn't explain it.

"This was a really nice Huey," Jazmine said, "but I still have so many questions."

"Ask. I promise to tell you everything."

"How did you find me?"

Huey chuckle, "you were my employee for years Jazmine. I found you by your social insurance number."

"Oh, well that make sense."

"If I have thought of it sooner than this wouldn't have been our first date," he said.

"But we went out for my graduation, wasn't that our first date?" she asked.

"We were celebrating your accompaniments. And you were upset about your parents. How are they by the way?" he asked.

"I still don't see them. They are wrapped up in their own little world," Jazmine said sadly.

"I didn't mean to pry."

"No no it's alright. I gotten use to it after awhile. Sometimes I wonder if they ever wanted me."

"Than they're fools."

She like how Huey was trying to cheer her up. But this was a date right? And she had so many questions still.

"Why do you call your master master still?"

"It's more of a respect thing if anything. Even if he truly isn't my master anymore he still someone who taught me everything about the lifestyle."

"And did you with his… and did he…"

Huey looked at her in confusion until he got what she trying to say. "Oh no. Bushido will never allow anyone to touch his sub just as much as I wouldn't allow anyone to touch you. And we are both not into guys. If he needed someone for me to dominate over than he would have another sub available for me to. Ebony was there to give me the perspective I needed to understand my subs better."

"They sound like a nice couple," Jazmine said.

"They are. Some of the best people I know. They cannot wait to meet you," Huey said.

"You talk about me to them?" Jazmine said shocked.

"Of course, they wanted to know everything about my submission. But I want them to know you as you. Why you are so important to me. They already know what you look like. Ebony can't wait to get to know you," he said.

"Wait. How do they know what I look like? I never seen or met them?"

Huey took out his phone, showing a picture. It was her in the wood. She was walking around, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, smiling. She didn't even know that he had that. It was before they're drop happen because she still had that sweater on.

"I couldn't help myself," he said putting away his phone, "you looked like you belong. And I was lucky enough to find you."

Jazmine gave off a blush. Will she ever get use to Huey's compliments?

"But if we ever get back to that part in our lives than things will be completely different from now on. But I want to know you as yourself first."

"I would like that," she said smiling.

But there was another question in mind.

"How long are you in New York for?"

"For two more night," he told her, "but I have a lot of business here so I will be visiting frequently. I don't expect you to up and move your life."

"Will you stay the weekend?"

"I wish I could but I have to be home for Riley this weekend."

"Riley? I thought that you cut ties with Riley because of money?"

"I did but there was more to it," he confessed, "Riley had a drug problem when I cut ties with him."

"What? What happen?"

"He overdose about a year ago. His girlfriend called me at the hospital thinking he was going to die. But he ended up pulling through."

"So what happen after that?"

:

Huey sat in the waiting room after meeting Riley's girlfriend Cindy. He was surprised that Cindy was white, even with all the teasing Riley gave to Jazmine. But Cindy was one tough girl. She was handling everything with ease for the most part.

"I'm sorry that I had to call," she said after awhile, "but I don't know if he is going to pull through or not."

"It's alright," Huey said.

"Are you both here for Riley Freeman?"

"Yes," Both Cindy and Huey said.

"He is going to pull through," the doctor said, "but I have to advice that he go into rehab because he cannot take another overdose like that."

"Alright but how I am going to afford that?" Cindy said.

"I'll take care of that," Huey said.

"No it's not your problem," Cindy said.

"He is my brother and the only family I have left," Huey said, "I'll take care of it."

"Thank you," Cindy said, "when can we see him?"

"Right now if you want. He's awake and conscious. Follow me," the doctor said. They followed him to the room where Riley was recovering.

Once Cindy saw Riley. She started screaming and crying at him. Riley was trying to get a word in but it was a losing battle. It was almost comical to watch for Huey.

"What the fuck are you doing here nigga?" Riley asked as he saw Huey standing in the doorway.

"Cindy was saying you might kick the bucket," he said.

"Well you kicked me outta ya life so why be here for the end of mine?" Riley asked.

"You think I wanted to?" Huey said, "I wasn't going to sit there and watch you take whatever the fuck you are doing at the time. Despite what you may think Riley I didn't want to watch it."

Riley gave the cold shoulder. He was still pissed at him.

"Ry, you need rehab be," Cindy said.

"Rehab is for-"

"I don't care!" Cindy said, "if you don't go than I'm gone! I am with your brother. I ain't going to watch you die! I love ya too much to watch that. That's selfish!"

"Cin how are we going to afford it? I lost my job and you did too," Riley argue, "I'll do it but how?"

"If you are serious about it than I'll front the money," Huey said.

Riley turned to him. "Why the fuck are you helping me McHater?"

"Because you are the only family I have left," he said, "and if you don't want it than fine."

Riley was quiet about it. You could actually see him thinking.

"It's a loan until I'm back," Riley said, "cause I ain't no bitch."

"Whatever Riley," Huey said. But he did feel better about this.

"Alright and you are still a bitch."

:

Riley was doing well in rehab. The first six weeks were the hardest on him. The doctors didn't expect Riley to have a high pain tolerance. But it was working. After three months in recovery, Cindy manage to find a job as a personal trainer with Huey's help. She was starting to become in demand because she was so good at it.

Huey learned how they met. They were playing basket ball and hooked up a few times. She didn't know of his drug problem until a few years into their relationship. She tried to get him clean but nothing worked. Until now.

"Do you have anyone?" Cindy asked one day as they were visiting Riley in rehab. If he kept it up than he will be out in about a month.

"I use to but we aren't together anymore," Huey said, them knowing what he did.

"What happened?" Cindy asked.

Huey told them about Jazmine. How it was just something he had to something more until everything fell to shit.

"Ya the only nigga I know would fuck it up," Riley said laughing.

"Shut it Riley. You owe her an apology after the way you treated her when we were kids," Huey said.

"Why would he?" Cindy asked.

"She's biracial and picked on her because of it."

Cindy stared at him than at Riley. "Ya know our kids will be mixed too. What does she look like cause I wanna have an idea."

Huey showed the only picture he had of Jazmine.

"Oh shit she is pretty. I'd tap that," Cindy said. Riley nodded, not believing that girl became that woman.

"Well I am going to tell her everything once I figure out how to find her," Huey said serious.

"Shit man you are in love with her," Riley stated.

"I am and I still do."

"Fuck if she was your employee than why the fuck don't you use her number?"

"Riley what are you talking about?"

"That work number everyone has. Can't you hack the system or something?"

Huey had never thought about that.

"Riley you surprise me," Huey said, taking out his phone.

By the time he left the rehab centre, Huey knew that Jazmine was in New York.

:

"You love me?" Jazmine said in shock. Huey loves her?

"I do. Because you are perfect for me. And I know that I am not an easy man to get along with," Huey said, paying the check.

"Come on I want to get you home safely," he said, putting on his coat.

He helped her get hers on and took her hand, leaving the restaurant. This side of Huey she never got to experience before but it was a great knowing the man behind the Dom.

After hailing and getting into a cab. Jazmine asked her last question.

"What do you expect from me Huey?" she said worried.

"To be you."

She smiles because in her heart she felt like she had a chance. Going further than she ever thought she could go with Huey.

Once they arrive to Jazmine's apartment, Huey asked the drive to wait as he took Jazmine upstairs.

"You aren't going to stay?" she asked.

"This is something we never done before Jazmine. Because of it, it's a power exchange," Huey told her.

"What do you mean?"

"It means you have the control."

Jazmine kissed him. Loving everything about this man.
