The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Ten minutes into the car ride, Jazmine haven't spoken a word. Quite often, Huey found himself unable to resist, stealing glances at her, while she kept staring at the window, watching the cars go by.
He was curious about what she was thinking at that very moment. Since their last interaction, he can't help but imagine the worst.
Huey sighed deeply as he turned his eyes back to the road.
He had the intention of explaining his perspective on things, but he knew that Jazmine was likely upset with him, so he opted not to do so right away. It best to give a woman time to calm down. Despite her best efforts to hide her emotions, deep down, he knew behind that anger.
Jazmine was hurt.
Huey decided to break the silence as the moments passed by.
"Jazmine.. I know that you're upset with me, and you have every the right to be. Nonetheless, there are certain things we need to discuss that were misinformed. '' He said as Jazmine scoffed, rolling her eyes.
Huey continued on,
"First off, I want to apologize on behalf of My Aunt Cookie. I was unaware that she was going to mention Nina's mother. Also, I apologize that she insulted you. I want to make clear that I have never used the term 'college chick' to describe you. You were not an experience for me. You were the most important person in my life, and I wouldn't have disrespected you like that" Huey stated.
" First of all, You have no reason to apologize for something that was beyond your control," Jazmine spoke in a calm manner.
"Secondly, you can cut the crap, Huey. I've heard enough to know three things." Jazmine said, "One, you never really loved me. "
Huey eyes narrowed in disgust . "Jazmine, don't be ridiculous,"
"TWO!" Jazmine voiced raised as she interrupts him . " You were emotionally cheating on me while we were still together"
"That's a lie. I've never been unfaithful to you! " Huey said, getting angrier.
'THREE! " Jazmine raised her voice which caused Huey to tighten his grip on the steering wheel. "You were too cowardly to admit that the true reason you didn't want to marry me was because you were interested in another woman, whom you eventually settled down with "
"That's another lie. I didn't leave you for Katherine. I left simply because you wanted something I didn't think I could give you," Huey said truthfully.
Jazmine's blood boiled as she said something she hadn't done in a while, '
"Fuck you Huey! "Huey brows raised at her sudden use of profanity.
"Before we started dating, you had a comprehensive understanding of my goals and aspirations. I used to frequently express my desire to marry and have children. Yet, you continue to lead me on, so I could satisfy your needs. But when it came down to satisfying mine, you failed to make the effort " Jazmine pointed out.
"Okay. Jazmine. You got me there. I knew you what you wanted in life, but honestly I assumed you would follow me no matter what path I choose" Huey said.
Jazmine scoffed as shook her head in disbelief.
"But I was selfish and wrong to expect that from you." Huey acknowledged.
Jazmine sighed with exasperation.
Huey looked at her deeply as he stopped at a red light.
"Jazmine, the truth of the matter is. Cheating on you never crossed my mind. When I met Katherine, we had one conversation which ended with me telling her I was in a relationship. There was no physical contact, No numbers exchanged. The conversation was straightforward, and that's all there is to it." He said as proceeded to drive.
Jazmine shook her head with a bitter laugh. "Wow.. Do you really think I'm that stupid? "
"NEWSFLASH! HUEY ! I'M NO LONGER THAT NAIVE LITTLE GIRL YOU COULD FOOL AROUND WITH!" Jazmine raised her voice again. "I see the truth now! And I won't be fooled by your lies anymore."
'I'M NOT LYING TO YOU , GODDAMMIT!' Huey shouted as he pressed his foot hard on the gas petal.
Jazmine gasped as it startled her a bit, good thing she had on her seatbelt.
"Huey Freeman! If you don't slow this car down, You're going to cause us an accident! "Jazmine fussed at him. Huey slowed down the car.
"And how dare you raise your voice at me!"Jazmine exclaimed.
"You have no problem raising your voice at me! " Huey retorted.
Jazmine unfastened her seat belt.
"You know what? Pull over Huey! I'll walk the rest the of the way! " Jazmine demanded.
"Hell no. Woman, you lost your goddamn mind if you think I'm letting you out of this car! "Huey spoke firmly.
"Now put your seatbelt on" Huey said as Jazmine glared at him.
"No!" Jazmine refused.
"Please" He asked with a softer tone.
Jazmine took a sharp breath and reattached her seatbelt.
Huey breathed deeply as he made a turn, reaching the peak of her neighborhood. He didn't anticipate things to get so heated between them. Jazmine was the only person who had the ability to press his buttons. She was the only person who really knew how to drive him crazy.
But he didn't want to fight.
He said calmly, 'I'm sorry for raising my voice at you."
Jazmine didn't respond. During the remaining part of the car ride, she sat silently. Fighting with him made her feel childish. Huey's power to bring out the worst in her was still there. Despite her suspicions, she wanted to believe him, but she was still not convinced.
On the other hand, As long as she remembered, Huey was always the direct-straight-forward type of guy. He never hesitated to be truthful with her, even if it was something he knew would upset her.
When he stated that there was no interaction between him and Nina's mother during their relationship, he appeared to be sincere. However, Jazmine could not ignore Aunt Cookie's account of things, particularly when she said that he confessed his love for Katherine. How he called her the love of his life.
The idea of it made Jazmine blood boil and she felt herself getting upset again.
"You know what your problem is Freeman?" Jazmine asked, breaking the silence.
Huey shook his head as he sensed the emergence of another argument, 'What's that DuBois?'
"You're so stuck in your ways that you don't realize how problematic you are. Treating others as if they're beneath you must be a pleasure for you. You think you're so high and mighty, but you're really a miserable old man," Jazmine said, hiding the main issue, that she had with him.
"Woman, stop talking in riddles and tell me what's really bothering you," said Huey, knowing her too well.
"Don't fool around, you know exactly what I mean. You treat my son like he's some low-class citizen that's supposed to bow down to you, "Jazmine accused.
"Nonsense! Your son is treated well by me. He doesn't need to bow down to me. He must learn that respect is earned, not given. And It's going to take more than a few nice gestures to get there" Huey said as Jazmine laughs bitterly.
"Oh please! You just don't think he's good enough for your daughter. Same way you thought I wasn't good enough for you! "Jazmine exclaimed.
"Wrong. My daughter is smart enough to know what's good for herself. Secondly, I never felt that way, it was you that always too were too good for me" Huey said truthfully.
"So I'm the problematic one?" Jazmine said with a scoff.
"Maybe you are" Huey said, feeling offended that would accuse him of such things.
"And maybe you're an asshole!" Jazmine retorted back.
"You should really watch your language with me woman" Huey said, getting frustrated with her.
"Or what! You're going to hit me? I'd like to see you try!" Jazmine shouted.
"Jazmine, don't be ludicrous. You know I would never lay a hand on you. Let alone, any woman for that matter" Huey said they finally reached Jasmine's residence.
Jazmine sighed while gazing at her doorstep.
Thank god! She contemplated as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
Huey turned off the engine.
" Jazmine" he announced, catching her attention.
Jazmine's eyes were filled with rage as he spoke with gentleness.
"Jazmine, I don't want to fight anymore. The only thing I want is for you to understand that I never intended to hurt you. ' He said as Jazmine's eyes began to glistening with tears.
Jazmine turned away as she refused to allow him to see her cry.
"Don't patronize me, Huey," said Jazmine furiously. "Your intention was to hurt me, which is why you left and never came back,"
Huey's eyes mellowed out as he looked at her, "I wanted to come back to you more than anything." He confessed.
Jazmine looked at him with astonishment.
She was taken aback by his lie in her face.
"Huey..." she said as his eyes lid up with hope.
"Thank you for giving me ride home and I accept responsibility for the part I played in this unpleasant venture. Also, I am sorry for my childish behavior, but moving forward, we should focus solely on supporting the children, " She said as Huey looked at her in disbelief.
Huey uttered the words 'Jazmine listen', but he was interrupted.
"Good night Huey. '' She said before exiting the car.
Huey exited the car and rushed after Jazmine, who was speeding towards her doorstep.
"Jazmine, wait! let's talk about this," Huey said as he caught up to her.
Jazmine accessed her handbag and retrieved her house keys.
"Jazmine " Huey said as Jazmine breathed a deep sigh. She turned to face him.
"Huey, there's nothing left to discuss. In the past, I believed I needed clarity on whether marriage was something you included in your future. I now understand that I didn't require your clarification, as I was the one who was not included in those plans," Jazmine stated as she proceeded to unlock her door.
"Jazmine, that's not" Huey began to say.
"Don't you dare say it's not true!" Jazmine shouted, pointing a finger at him.
"It's not!" Huey snapped back.
"Oh! According to Aunt Cookie, you said you needed to marry Katherine because she was the love of your life? Tell me Huey, Did you have that same energy when you were with me? Absolutely not," Jazmine said.
"That ring was never meant for her. Aunt Cookie has everything mixed up. I didn't come to her about Katherine. I came to her because I discovered you were getting married, and I couldn't bare the thought of you spending the rest of your life with another man,' he revealed.
Jazmine felt her heart drop a moment as her lip quivered.
"LIAR!" She hastened inside her house, slamming the door on Huey's face. She was in the process of locking her door when he burst in.
'Freeman, will you get the hell out of my house?' Jazmine shouted.
Huey ignored her and approached her. "It's true, Jazmine. Caesar reached out to me told me everything"
Jazmine backed away in disbelief.
" No," She shook her head.
"Yes" Huey walked forward. He wrapped his hands over her fingers, holding her in place. She attempted to flee from his grasp, but he was too strong. He firmly held her, forcing her to stare into his eyes while he spoke.
" He told me that you were scheduled to get married at Glenview Mansion at 11:30 am. This was the first day of spring, precisely the 20th of March," Jazmine's eyes darted, moving side to side rapidly as she listened attentively.
Huey felt her hands trembling, he stroked them gently to keep her calm.
"As I said before, the thought of you marrying another man didn't sit right with me, and that's when I decided to end things Katherine," Huey revealed.
"I had everything set. The wedding venue location. A booked flight and an engagement ring in size 6. Hell, I even rented a getaway car for us," Huey said with a sad grin.
Tears flowed down Jazmine's face as her heart broke in two.
"The only reason I showed up at Aunt Cookie's is because I panicked. I was aware that I fucked up a good thing, and I was frightened that you would reject me. Although you had every right to refuse me, I wasn't ready to lose you, 'he said as his eyes tearfully glowed.
Jazmine's lips parted as she was shocked by what she was hearing. She could see the passion in his wine-colored eyes.
"I remember feeling anxious to see your face again. The thought of your smile motivated me to drive faster as I made my way to the airport. I couldn't wait to hold you in my arms again," He paused as the memory gave him severe chest pain.
"It seemed like the universe was against me because the moment I made it to the airport, Katherine called me. At first, I assume she was calling to beg me to come back, but then, she sent a picture of her discharge papers that indicated she was four weeks pregnant" he said, feeling a knot in his throat.
"At that point, I burst into tears because I knew I couldn't have you. Even if it was possible, I refused to let you settle for less. Deep down I knew, you deserved better than what I had to offer. It wasn't fair to burden you with the mistakes I made. Because leaving you was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life" Huey as his tears finally made its way down.
Jazmine panted heavily as she cried. Huey freed her. He enveloped her flushed face with his hands, pressing his thumb to dry her tears.
"I love you Jazmine " he said, for the first time in a very long time.
He slowly leaned over towards Jazmine, who was speechless, frozen in place. With their faces a couple inches apart,
Jazmine suddenly felt panicked.
"Huey.. Don't! " She said, short of breath. Her hands landed on his chest in an attempt to push him away, but once she felt his heartbeat, she could not resist him.
"Shh. " Huey silenced her. He lightly traced her soft lips with his finger.
"Just let it happen, baby," He said as he slid his tongue into her mouth, pressing his lips against hers. She gasps a deep, staggered breath as heat tingled her entire body.
Suddenly, Jazmine couldn't take it. She grasped the fabric of his shirt, intensifying the kiss. Her body, her flesh, and her soul ached for him. They were both breathing heavily as their bodies responded to one another. Huey became mad as he rammed his hands hungrily below Jazmine's waist, relishing the taste of her sweet tongue.
Throughout the years, he had longed for her and now that she was in his arms. He couldn't resist the desire to touch her skin. His strong hands firmly groped her ass as their bodies collided.
"Huey.." Jazmine said, breaking their make up session.
'What is it, woman?' " He said breathlessly.
"You should go," she said, feeling guilty about what they were doing.
'Go where? ' Huey said, as he placed a kiss on her shoulder. "Here, " he said, moving towards her neck.
Jazmine sighed heavily as her knees weakened.
"Or Here? " He said as his kisses reached the peak of her breast. Jazmine closed her eyes as the warmth of his tongue penetrating her flesh.
"Huey.. please.." She moaned, catching his attention,
He glanced down at her with amusement as he lifted her chin with his index finger.
"Would you like me to stop? " He asked as she struggles to answer his question. He placed his hands on her hips, and pressed against her. She bit her lip as she could feel his hardened member.
"Jazz, " he whispered in her ear. She could feel the desperation in his breath. "Tell me to leave and I'll go"
"Please don't,' she blurted as she knew she needed him tonight.
Huey grinned as he kissed her with greater force.
One thing, after another. They were making out again, kissing and sucking each other's lips with intense desire. At one point, Huey swept Jazmine off her feet and carried her upstairs to her bedroom.
The two carried on, they were on the verge of tearing each other's clothing when Huey broke the kiss.
Jazmine looked at him worriedly
"What's wrong?.. " She murmured, hoping he wouldn't leave her at her most vulnerable moment.
"Nothing. I just want to take my time with the woman I love." He laid his hands on her ass and brought her to him. Jazmine soothes her eyes when she realizes what he means. He didn't want to fuck, he wanted to make love.
He followed through with his promise and took his time with her. He kissed her tenderly, starting from her mouth, and made his way down as he unzipped the back of her jumpsuit.
Jazmine gasps as his mouth clings to her breast, allowing him to strip her completely. Once they were both exposed. They stood above the bed, looking at each other's bare glory. Jazmine's heart was pounding erratically at the sight of Huey's body. Even as he got older, he maintained a lean chiseled body structure . His well-formed muscles were in proportion with one another. He was just breathtaking.
Jazmine battled the urge to cover her naked body. Two decades have gone by since he last saw her, and she hopes he still finds her appealing.
As Huey stared at her, he couldn't help but feel the flames coming from his eyes. Her figure was always nice, but seeing her as a full-blown woman was a different experience.
Her body was voluptuous, with slim shoulders, large plumped breasts, and thick in all the right places. Her creamy skin even gleamed in the slightest light. She took his breath away.
"Jazmine, you're beautiful. " His voice ragged with passion.
Her tone was alluring as she responded . " You're not too bad yourself," she said as He chuckled softy.
"Kiss me,' he demanded , and she obliged.
He kissed her hard and long while slowly laying her on the bed.
"I love you, " he whispered as he just stared at her.
"I love you" Jazmine reciprocated, pulling him back into the kiss.
Moments later,
All their fears were temporarily washed away and nothing held them back as they made love like it was their first time. They started off slow, and passionate, but as time passed, things grew intense. The room was filled with short breaths, loud moaning and groaning, as they fucked like horny teenagers.
Jazmine didn't know she had it in her, but soon enough she discovered that Huey's name exceeded her lung capacity.
Night passed into dawn and Huey and Jazmine had finally reached their climax. Jazmine was laying on Huey's chest when a thought came to her.
'Huey? ' She exclaimed breathlessly.
'Yes', he said, rubbing her body while he held her.
"What are we going to do if the kids find out about this? Jazmine said in a worried tone.
"It's simple. We won't let them find out,' he said carelessly her hair.
"But Huey.. I'm scared" Jazmine admitted. "I don't want to them to hate us"
"I don't want that to happen either, but I also don't want this to end, this. "Huey said truthfully .
Jazmine squinted at him. "What are you saying?"
"All I'm saying is tonight was good and I hope it won't be our last" he said bluntly.
The sex was good, too good, Jazmine couldn't deny it. Despite not wanting it to be their last, she was afraid of the consequences that would follow.
"But Huey.." Jazmine said. "We can't, " she said as she began to tear up.
Huey brought her face to him as he kissed her to calm her down. His kisses were equivalent to bandages, they made her feel better.
Jazmine deeply as he pulled away.
"I promise you that we will have a discussion about this matter in the morning, but for now let's enjoy the moment while we still have it,"
Jazmine arched her brow. "Freeman. I hope you're not thinking you're hitting this again?"
Huey laughed at her remark and patted her ass "Oh, I'm definitely hitting that again, but for now you need some beauty rest"
Jazmine blushed as she felt herself getting turned on. As much as she would love for him to be inside her again, she knew her body couldn't take another round.
"Fine. I'll get some rest, but we're definitely need to continue this conversation in the morning," Jazmine said as she yawned
"Alright, baby. Can we go to bed now? "He spoke exhaustedly.
Jazmine smiled while she adored the way he called her baby.
"Yes, as soon as I get my good night kisses, " Jazmine said playfully.
Huey leaned over and kissed her deeply without hesitation. "Good night, " he kissed her again. "Good night, " he kissed her once more. "Good night"
"Is that enough for you, woman? He said, as she giggled at him.
"Yes, that's more than enough. Thank you," She said laid back on his chest.
"Good night, Huey " she finally said.
He chuckled softly and kissed the crown of her head.
"Good night Jazmine"
The Following Day…
Is that Mr. Freeman's rental car?
Sebastian shook his thoughts and inserted his key to unlock the door as he arrived at his mother's residence.
He was surprised to find that the door was unlocked.
As he entered his home, he murmured, 'What the fuck? ' His mother never left the doors unlocked.
In fact, she. Wait a minute, he thought he spotted her house keys with her handbag lying on the floor.
One thing about his mother is that she never left things on the floor.
As he feared the worst, his heart pounded. He shouted from the top of his lungs.
"MAAAAAAAAAAAAMA! " He shouted, searching around the house.
Jazmine awakened at the sound of Sebastian yelling.
"YO MAMA! Where you at?
She gasps and sat up from the bed. "Huey, wake up! " She exclaimed, attempting to wake him.
" Woman, would you stop hitting me so hard? "He complained with his eyes still closed. "And tell your boy to quit that ruckus,'' he said, referring to Sebastian's yelling.
"Huey! Get the hell up now! " She said, gritting her teeth. Huey mumbled something in response while trying to go back to sleep.
Jazmine felt panicked when she heard Sebastian's footsteps. Snatching the covers off the bed, she removed them from Huey, who was awakened from all the cold air.
Jazmine stood up, utilizing the sheet to cover her bare body.
He glared at her as if he was ready to catch an attitude, when suddenly…
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
KNOCK!
As realization struck, they looked at each other and froze.
"YO MA! YOU IN THERE! Sebastian asked and turned the knob, but the door was locked.
Jazmine looked at Huey, who finally decided to get out of bed, '
"Yes, baby, I'm here'. She said in a calm voice. Meanwhile she was making hand gestures to Huey indicating that she was freaking out.
Huey swiftly put on his clothes while Jazmine searched for hers.
She overheard Sebastian sighing in relief.
"Is everything alright, baby? Where's Nina? " Jazmine asked as she spotted her satin robe. She dropped the sheet before putting it on. Huey stared at her body lustfully as she caught him. Jazmine glared at him while he had this grin on his face.
"I'm cool. She and Cassie went to the nail salon. I was hoping to have a conversation with you about something. Is it okay if I come in? Sebastian inquired.
"No! " Jazmine whispered.
She laughed nervously. "Sure hun, just give me a second to get decent. "
"A'ight. " Sebastian stepped back from the door and said 'Take your time'.
She hurried towards Huey and whispered, 'You need to hide.'
"Hide? Tell him to wait in his room and I'll sneak out"
"No, you can't. It's too risky. Hide underneath the bed." She instructed.
Huey arched his brow. "Have you lost your mind, woman? I'm not hiding underneath a bed,' he whispered back.
Both had a mini "whispered dispute" until they finally decided that Huey would hide in Jazmine's closet.
"Ma, are you decent yet? "Sebastian's voice appeared impatient when he asked.
Jazmine said 'in a moment' while tidying up the room a bit.
After confirming that the room was presentable, she took a deep breath and opened the door.
When she saw her son, she smiled.
"Good Morning, Sebastian " she said in an upbeat tone.
"Good Morning Mama" He greeted her with a hug combined with kisses on the cheek.
He entered the room and sat on her chaise chair as Jazmine sat on the edge of her bed. He glanced around the room as if he were seeking something.
"Are you alright, love?" asked Jazmine.
"Yeah, I'm cool Ma" He responded. "Is that Mr. Freeman's car outside?"
"Fuck" Huey closed his eyes as he remembered parking in front of the house.
Jazmin was taken aback by the question, but remained calm. "Yes, it is. Shortly after our arrival, the car battery died, so he took a cab to his hotel, "as she explained.
Sebastian paused in disbelief, but then he spoke. " Wow. I know he was pissed"
"Oh yes. He was very frustrated. For hours on end, he was on the phone with the car rental company. I suggested he spend the night in the guest room. However, he declined my offer. He told me he would come first thing in the morning to put a new battery in," She explained.
Huey wanted to laugh at her little lie. She even sounded convincing. Sebastian had the intention of asking about the unlocked door and bag on the floor, but he decided against it.
"Oh, okay, I don't know much about cars, but maybe I can help in some way " Sebastian suggested.
Jazmine smiled, 'That's very thoughtful of you, baby,' she said. "You can tell him when he arrives here" She looked at the closet nervously before changing the topic.
"So, what is it you wanted to talk about? " She asked.
Sebastian looked as if he was trying to remember. "Oh! Yeah. I wanted to talk to you about the wedding, 'he asked.
"You guys had a set date already? " Jazmine inquired.
"Nah, but Nina is really excited about it. She already started making plans and everything " he mentioned.
"That's wonderful, so what's the issue? "Jazmine asked.
"The issue is that she desires a lavish wedding and we are both not financially able to afford it. Traditionally, the wedding expenses are borne by the bride's parents, but Nina only has her dad to pay for it. I don't think he would be willing to pay for something he doesn't support. "
You're right about that young brother. Huey thought. Despite his love for his daughter. Huey believed that if they couldn't afford a wedding, they wouldn't be able to afford other things that come with marriage, like housing, insurance, children, and the list goes on.
"To be honest, I spent all my savings on Nina's engagement ring," He expressed. "So I was wondering if you could possibly help in some way," He asked, rubbing the top of his head in embarrassment.
Hell no! Huey thought furiously.
"Of course, I would be more than happy to help, "Jazmine said without hesitation.
Huey shook his head in disapproval. Jazmine should not be obligated to pay for their wedding expenses, it could be a lesson to them to prioritize their education. If they had careers they would be able to afford anything they desired.
"Thanks Mama! " Sebastian said happily, but then he felt bad. "I promise I will repay you every cent"
" You don't have to pay back anything I do for you. You're my son, baby. I love you," Jazmine said.
"I love you too Ma" Sebastian smiled happily.
"Besides, I'm sure your father won't mind lending a hand" Jazmine mentioned, wondering if he told his father yet.
Sebastian glanced up. "Speaking of the devil, the sperm-I mean..Dad called me last night." He mentioned, almost referring his father as the sperm donor.
"Oh yeah? Did you tell him about the engagement? " Jazmine wondered.
"Nah. He already knew about it. Apparently grandma shared all the details about the dinner with Nina and her father and the engagement"
"Of course, she did, " Jazmine mumbled. "So what did he say about it?"
"He real salty about it, " Sebastian mentioned.
" What was he salty about? Jazmine asked.
"He said he would have loved an invitation, and he told me to tell you to call him when you get the chance. He has words for you,'' he said as Jazmine arched her brow.
Those words better be spoken in lowercase letters. Huey thought protectively.
"He has words for me? " Jazmine asked while crossing her arms.
Sebastian shrugged his shoulders" His words, not mine"
"Okay. I'll reach out to him later. " She said made a mental note to call her ex-husband.
She looked towards the closet again and knew Huey was mostly likely annoyed by now.
"Baby, was that all you wanted to discuss? " Jazmine inquired as she tried to wrap things up.
"Yes, thanks Mama," He says in gratitude.
"Anytime, love" Jazmine said with a warm smile.
"Despite my love for talking to you, Ma, I should really take a shower," Sebastian brought up. Jazmine felt relieved that she didn't have to come up with an excuse to kick him out.
"Okay, love. " Jazmine said as she walked him out.
She waited and checked until she heard the shower running. She returned to the room and announced.
"You can come out now,"
Huey emerged from the closet.
"Damn woman. Took you long enough, " he complained.
"Oh, hush. It wasn't that long" Jazmine said. "Sebastian's in the shower, you'd better go,".
He gazed at her" DuBios you're kicking me out already?" He said as he began touching of her body.
"Freeman.. Get your hands off of me, " she said, slapping his hands away.
"You weren't saying that last night, "he said as her cheeks flushed. As he feels the urge to be inside her again, he bites his lip.
"Can I get a quickie before I go?" He said playfully.
"Hell no, now get the hell on"Jazmine said, getting annoyed that he wasn't taking the situation seriously..
He laughed at her. Her sexiness was apparent when she was all worked up.
Jazmine scoffed at him she walked away. He followed her as they proceeded downstairs. She opened the door for him to exit.
"I'll tell Sebastian that you came by during his shower so you could take the car,' she said, rushing him out.
Huey tightened his arms around her waist and drew her closer. He tilted his head towards her ear
"I have words for you, so give me a call when you get the chance. '' He said as she pulled him away.
"Goodbye Freeman"
'Quit playing with me, woman, and give your man a proper goodbye' he said, giving her a kiss. They kissed for a good long time before pulling away.
"Huey... please. ," Jazmine whined as she didn't like that she was feeling weak again.
"I know. I extended my welcome," he laughed. "I'll go now, but I want to see you again," Huey said, but it sounded more like a plea.
"I'll think about it. Now, please go before Sebastian sees us," Jazmine said, feeling worried.
"Okay, " he caressed her chin. "I love you Jazmine" As she didn't say it back. She just stood there motionless as he took her breath away.
After saying their final goodbyes, she closed the door shut. She couldn't help but feel frightened by the fact that Huey and she had started a love affair that was bound to end badly for them.
After returning to her room, she gathered her toiletries for a relaxing bath when her phone rang.
She glanced at her screen and was surprised to see that it was her ex-husband.
"Good morning, Tristian," Jazmine said as she answered the call.
"Good morning Jazmine," His smooth voice sounded like he had a smile on his face.
"How are you these days?" Jazmine patiently asked.
"I'm doing well, thanks for asking. And you? "He asked.
"I'm good. Sebastian mentioned that you had words for me? " Jazmine mentioned, getting to the point.
She heard him chuckle a little. "As a Matter of fact, I do. I'm curious as to why you didn't let me know that our son was engaged? "He questioned.
"Well, maybe because our son is a grown man and could tell you himself," Jazmine responded back.
"Jazzy, You know good damn well. That boy doesn't tell me shit," He said it, getting a bit upset at the thought of it. " But that's going to change soon. " He said.
Before Jazmine had a chance to respond he spoke once more.
"Another thing , I heard you had dinner with the fiancé and her father. When I called our son, he seemed to be at his engagement party. Can you elaborate on why I wasn't invited those occasions ?" He inquired.
Jazmine sighed deeply. "Tristian, those were last minute. By the way, I assumed you were still vacationing with Diane, " she said, referring to his wife.
"Yes. That's right, but I would have appreciated if you at least inform me about it afterwards," Tristan expressed.
"I understand that Tristan, but that is solely up to Sebastian's to keep you up to date with his love life" Jazmine explained, hoping he understood.
'I know," he said with a frustrated sigh. "But we'll talk about that later, what are you doing at the moment ? " He asked, changing the subject.
"I'm getting ready for the day. Why'd you ask? "Jazmine asked.
"Okay. Listen, go handle your business and when you're done, I'm going to need you to start fixing breakfast" He demanded.
Jazmine said, 'I beg your pardon? ' While looking at the phone in confusion. "Sir.. My name isn't Diane now is it?"
Tristan laughed hysterically. "You're right, your name isn't Diane. It's Jazmine, the mother of my son."
"Right , so why don't you ask your wife to make your breakfast?" Jazmine said firmly.
"I would, but I'm heading there in an hour to discuss some things regarding our son and a hungry man is an angry one, so please don't go overboard with the bacon," Tristian requested.
'Tristan, what is the meaning of all this? " Jazmine asked in a worried tone.
"All you need to know is that I'm on my way. In other words, daddy's coming home, he said before ending the call.
Jazmine looked at the phone in shock as she couldn't believe what came out of his mouth. Tristan and she had a good relationship but he never, ever shows up at her house unexpectedly. In fact, she hasn't seen much of him since the divorce. They always spoke briefly over the phone. Now he's suddenly he wants to talk?
Something was up.
