I looked around not sure how long I've been sitting here since Rihmeek left. I'm assuming long enough that he should be home soon.
I leaned my head to the side and popped my neck before I started to stand up.
"Are we leaving?" I heard Rich ask. I didn't know he was in the room so I jumped, turning around to see him standing on the bottom step.
"I don't know. I don't think so," I stood up and walked towards him, "Why would you think that? Daddy say something?" I asked. He shook his head and wiped his eyes, "I heard you guys fighting so I thought that meant we had to leave." I mentally scolded myself for being so loud that he could hear. "We didn't mean to be so loud baby, I'm sorry." He nodded his head and hugged me. "We love you, you know that? No matter what happens we will always love you. That will never change." I told him the one thing I know for certain.
"Dinner is on the table" Rich and I both turned to see Rihmeek leaning against the wall. I didn't hear a door open. How long has he been here? I didn't know where we were on terms with each other so I just smiled then looked down at Rich. "Go eat baby, so daddy and I can talk." He listened but stopped to hug his daddy before running into the kitchen.
"You know I love you too, no matter what, right?" He asked me. I was still confused whether we were still mad at each other or not so I just stood still waiting for him to say something else. "That will never change either." I sobbed causing a weird sound to come from the back of my throat. I covered my mouth as I watched him walk towards me.
"We have to stop this shit. Got a whole son now that we have to think about before starting these arguments." I nodded my head in agreement as he took me into his embrace and I buried my head in his chest. "I love you too."
My words were muffled by his chest but I know he heard me because his posture relaxed and he held me tighter. "I don't know what to do."
I said, already knowing he had no clue what I was talking about. He pulled away and looked down at me, "What do you mean?"
I took a breath and debated the battle of my life. Do I tell him or do I protect him?
"Those papers" I said. He had a knowing look in his eye but I know he really has no idea what could be in store for us-well him for that matter. "Those papers, you were right, are none of my business. I trust you, Nic. Like you said after all the shit we been through I know you won't hurt me." He sounded so sure.
How am I supposed to just walk away?
I know you won't hurt me.
"I have to tell you something though." I said. Rihmeek nodded his head waiting for me to elaborate. I took a deep breath and decided I had to do this the right way this time.
"We're going to have to separate for awhile." He pushed me away and I already knew this wasn't going to go over well. "Listen to me, Rihmeek, before you get all worked up." I grabbed his hand and sighed when he let me hold it. "I've found a way to help you. Charges dropped, job back, all that." I said hoping this would interest him. "How's that sound?"
He laughed as he pulled his hand away to scratch his chin, "Sounds like bullshit."
"Well, it's not. I just have to leave while you get it straightened out and then we can be together again." I said. "What was that shit you were saying earlier...you were all mine? How do you say that and then say this all in the same day?"
I looked down and shook my head. I knew he wouldn't understand. This is why I didn't want to tell him. "I am yours, Rihmeek, damn. I'm just trying to help you if you would listen to what I'm saying." I said, as aggravation took over. "Alright so you're going to get my charges dropped and get my job back. How exactly do you plan on pulling this off?" He asked.
I leaned my head to the side and bit my lip.
"I'm not. Someone else is." I already knew he would question who that someone was so I elaborated before he had a chance to ask, "My dad is going to-" I was in the middle of explaining the situation before he put his hand up and shook his head. "No," He stated, "Hell no. That man has no intentions on helping me. We both learned that the hard way. This is just another way for him to manipulate our relationship." I covered my face with both my hands and groaned. "You're right, Rihmeek. He has no intentions in helping you, or even me for that matter but this is about more than that." He shook his head, "If you leave that's on you, Onika. Just know you walk out that door and we're done. You let him push you out the door once before and I forgave you, this time you aren't going to be so lucky." He said.
I ran a hand through my hair basically on the brink of pulling it out. Why doesn't he understand this is what's best? Why is he so hard headed? "You don't mean that." I said.
He wouldn't give up on me just like that. Not if my intentions are good. He loves me.
"That's what you think. I'm over this shit. I'm a grown man I'm tired of having someone in my ear telling me what I can and can't have."
He turned to walk away and I stood aback, baffled that his decision was made that easily.
This conversation isn't over. I'll either get my way or see for myself if he really meant what he said.
-
"Rich asleep?" Rihmeek asked after I walked into the room and shut the door behind me.
"Yeah." I said, still debating with myself whether I was upset with him or not.
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked, after I got tired of the question weighing heavy on my mind. "Sure, what's up?"
I climbed onto the bed and sat in the middle beside his legs. I looked down at my fingers and bit my lip, already knowing this would lead to yet another argument. I hate that that's all we seem to do these days.
"How much did you hear earlier?" I asked.
He sat whatever he was reading before I walked into the room onto the nightstand then positioned himself to sit up straight.
"When? When you and Rich were talking?"
I nodded my head then looked up at him.
"I walked in when you were telling him that we loved him, why?" I nodded my head again and watched his eyebrows furrow.
"He was asking if we had to leave. I guess he thought because we were fighting that you were going to kick us out or that I was going to leave." I told him causing his lips to frown and his eyebrows to narrow even more.
"I just wanted to make sure that, you know, if anything ever did happen between us that you wouldn't hold that against him cause he really thinks the world of you." His expression was quick to let me know just how he felt about my question. A look of confession and anger took over and then he chuckled bitterly.
"Your dad really got in your head didn't he?"
I threw my head back and slapped my thighs, "No, Rihmeek, he didn't say anything about you and Rich." I said while rolling my eyes.
"Then what would possess you to ask something so fucking stupid? You're smart, one of the smartest people I know, don't go asking dumb shit like that aight?" I was taken back by his tone of voice and the way he talked to me.
"I'm curious, Rihmeek. I need to know for a fact that you're not going to walk out of his life. Before us, before me, and before anyone else he is put first. That is why I'm asking."
He shook his head before mumbling something under his breath. "I'm not like my dad," He said and I dropped my head no longer being able to hold eye contact. "That's what you're really asking. I will be in his life until the day I die. No matter who I'm in a relationship with."
I felt childish that the only part that stuck out to me was 'No matter who I'm in a relationship with' and how he said it. Almost like we weren't in a relationship anymore.
"Thank you." I said but I know it didn't come across sincere, "I just need reassurance sometimes. You're an amazing daddy, Rihmeek." He rubbed the top of his head then nodded it like he was understanding where I was coming from. "You know I was just five seconds away from cussing your ass out."
I nodded my head then we both shared an awkward laugh. He motioned for me to come closer to him so I crawled onto his lap and straddled him. "Why you talking like we breaking up or some shit anyways?" He asked.
I laid my head on his shoulder and shrugged.
"You're not getting away from me easily."
I chuckled and felt his body vibrate against mine as he did the same. "Love you." I said.
"Love you too, baby girl."
We fell into a comfortable silence while he ran his fingers over my back. I placed gentle kisses against his neck here and there. Taking in the moment that I wished would last forever.
"Take a bath with me?" I questioned, my voice an octave below a whisper. I felt him nod his head so I sat up then moved off his lap.
I took off my clothes and threw them in the dirty clothes hamper. When I turned around a smirk crossed my lips as I watched his eyes trail up and down my body. "Gahdamn, how did I get so lucky?" My smirk turned into a bashful smile and I batted my eyelashes, easily questioning the same thing.
Rihmeek walked into the bathroom before I did and started our water. I watched in confusion as he laid the shower head in the bathtub but didn't want to question it.
Next came what I was waiting for. I watched him reach for the hem of his shirt as he brought it up over his head then it dropped to the floor. I admired his hard, detailed masculine upper body before he tugged at his pants and I got to enjoy admiring his lower half as well. "Has anybody told you that you hung like a hoarse, baby?" I asked causing his laughter to echo off the walls. "I think ya momma did." I laughed as well then walked towards him, "I always knew there was a reason my dad doesn't like you."
He rubbed his hands over my butt and I smiled up at him, happy we could play with each other now. "Why you staring at me like that?" I asked
He pressed three kisses against my forehead then leaned his forehead against mine.
"Cause ya so damn beautiful." I blushed then felt heat rush to my core. I leaned up and latched onto his bottom lip gently nippling on it before his tongue found its way inside my mouth. He grabbed a hand full of my ass then brought our bodies inseparably close. A whimper escaped my lips once I felt all of his manhood pressed against me.
"Let's get in the bath" I pulled away to say.
He got in first and then I followed suite sitting on top of him so my back as pressed firmly against his front. He picked up the shower head and sprayed it over my body causing goosebumps to rise all over my skin. While doing so he ran a hand up my stomach and grabbed ahold of my breast and started to gently massage them. I sang his whole name once I felt his lips attach to my neck.
He pinched my nipple causing me to jerk and he groaned against my neck. He pulled away making me whine due to the loss of contact.
I watched him though as he turned the shower head to the jet motion. He lifted his leg so he could lift my bottom half out of the water.
"......Whatcha doing?" I questioned as he trailed the shower head from my chest, down my stomach until he, "Ahhh" I nearly jumped out of my skin once the beating water hit my sensitive nub. "Rihmeek" I moaned, holding on to his other hand. My legs started to shake as the pleasure became too much. I tried to move away from the water but he held me in place.
"Cum for me" He whispered as if he didn't want God to hear. I brought his hand up to my mouth and stuck his finger in my mouth.
I gently sucked on it but would much rather be sucking on something else. "Freaky ass" I heard him say. I lifted my hips then bit his finger as I felt my body come undone.
"Fuck," I barley heard him say as I dealt with the aftershock of my intense orgasm. "C'mere, I want you to ride me."
