Nicki
Being fresh out of a toxic relationship, it took me some time to adjust to being independent. I was learning how to become a woman again and how to take care of myself.
Both of my parents died from drug overdose the night of their anniversary and my brother and I got sent away to separate foster homes. I've been looking for him since I became of age but no foster home seemed to have a trace of him. Caiah was my baby, he meant the world to me even though we didn't have the tightest bond.
Stemming from such brutality as a young kid, I grew up to be very protective of myself and my feelings. The one time I let my guard down I allowed a man to come into my life and strip me away of my worth. Yet I still remained prosperous and determined to make something of myself.
I was a receptionist and a sexy one at that. Guys and maybe even girls hit on me very often whenever they saw me face to face. Some people simply got turned on by the sound of my voice and it kind of creeped me out. Walking into my job I greeted everyone and took my seat at the front desk preparing to boot up my computer.
"Oh Ms. Maraj how refreshing it is to see that beautiful face of yours." Gabrielle spoke as she leaned against the counter top.
Gabrielle was the biggest flirt in the building, it seemed to just come to her naturally.
"I could say the same for you Ms. Union, you look gorgeous and happy this morning." I winked as I gave her a smirk.
I played her game just as well as she did and I'm sure it took her by surprise at times.
"What time is my first appointment today I completely forgot." She sighed taking a sip from her cup.
After I logged into my computer I checked everybody's set up appointments and told her that it would be at eleven which was in thirty minutes so she hurried off to the elevator.
Gabrielle was one of the life skills coaches in our building that did a damn good job. We've witnessed her clients do a complete 360 with their lives sometimes in the span of two-three months.
The front desk phone rang making me quickly reach to grab it. "Thank you for calling Well-being Inc. you are speaking with Onika Maraj, how may I help you?"
"Yes ma'am I was wondering if there was anyway I could reschedule my appointment with Ms. Union for tomorrow morning instead of today?"
I quickly looked up Gabrielle's availability for tomorrow and saw that she was on a tight schedule. "Unfortunately at the moment ma'am she has a full schedule for tomorrow and the next few weeks ahead, it's best if you come today but if not I'm sure she will understand."
"Ok I'll try my best to make it today I'm sorry, my little one got sick but I'll have her mother watch her."
"It is completely understandable and I hope everything works out for you and your babygirl. She's having a fit in the background." I chuckled hearing her little cute cries.
"Yeah and thank you for your patience, you know with all the noise in the background, I'll be up there shortly."
We ended the call and I got back to booking appointments and answering calls. Within thirty minutes or so I was greeted with a very familiar yet unfamiliar face. Since I don't usually work in the main office I don't always recognize Gabrielle's patients.
"Ms. Maraj right?"
I looked up and locked eyes with a goddess, she was gorgeous in more ways than one. She was staring back into my eyes as I stared up at hers and in a matter of seconds I ended the intense stare off by clearing my throat.
"Yes ma'am Ms. Union is expecting you now, she'll be on the fourth level of the building and in room 234." I directed her.
"Thank you so much." She turned to walk away and my eyes shot to her ass.
"Damn." I mumbled but caught myself before she or anyone else could catch me staring at her walk away.
Beyoncé
Blue was giving me a hard time this morning seeing that she wasn't feeling so good today. It was my weekend to have her but Robyn understood that I needed to go to a meeting and didn't mind keeping her daughter for an hour.
Confused? Well let me clear everything up. I am not your average female, instead of female parts I got blessed with male parts and I thank God I don't have a period.
Years ago I used to feel bad about the fact that I had male parts but soon started to embrace it because I knew that was apart of me and I would just have to accept it. I've never even considered surgery I'm too afraid of hospitals and needles for any of that.
Robyn and I had Blue four years ago right after we graduated from college together. I got her pregnant while we were in school but everything worked out in the end. Unfortunately we couldn't succeed in having a healthy relationship together and that's why we co-parent now.
Robyn was still crazy over me and I could slightly say that I was still crazy over her. We knew exactly how we felt about each other, it was always mutual understandings about that part but we just couldn't get it together.
I'm not going to lie and act like I didn't have commitment issues while we were together but since then I'd like to think I changed. When I saw her crying like that while she was pregnant I told myself that I'd never cheat on her again.
"So how has your behavior been? Any sudden behavior changes?" Ms. Union asked me as we both took a seat.
"No not recently but about two weeks ago I was having trouble controlling it. The breathing techniques just wasn't enough for me, it got so bad I took Blue to Robyn until I calmed down. I was so upset for no reason at all."
"What triggered it?" She grabbed her notebook and pen.
"My mom came over and was just talking a bunch of nonsense and I really wanted her to shut up. She was going on and on, I was so close to blanking out but after she left I snapped it was like something clicked." My mom and I had a terrible relationship, for a very reasonable cause I'd like to think.
"Hm that's something new."
I nodded my head in agreement.
"What stress relief activities have you partaken in?" She asked.
"Robyn and I had sex three days ago and I went to the gym yesterday but I have not been smoking recently."
"I told you to continue meditating I need you on your medication everyday, you can not miss one day Beyoncé. Yoga is fine as well but only if you feel comfortable." She looked up at me and put her pen down.
"I got you."
"I am so proud of you I would not want you to do a turn around you have to keep progressing for that beautiful babygirl you have."
I smiled thinking about my baby, she was everything to me. She looked so much like Robyn sometimes it made me frustrated because what the fuck.
"I will continue to maintain my behavior, and I will definitely be back next month." I told her grabbing my things from beside me.
"I'll see you next month hun."
As I came back up to the front desk I noticed Ms. Maraj staring me down again so I decided to have a little fun with her. I could tell by the way her mouth parted while she eyed me that she was thinking of inappropriate things.
"You must like what you see-." Before I could even finish my sentence Robyn was calling my phone making me roll my eyes.
It's like she just knew every time I was up to something or around another female. Maybe she's been having someone follow me around I thought as I looked at my surroundings.
"Yes Robyn?"
"Hurry back I miss you." She spoke in that voice making me bite me lip before looking around again making sure nobody was listening.
"I'll be there in 10 but we are not having sex, Am I understood?" She knew exactly what she was doing, I told her no sex until she apologized to me for her attitude recently.
"Fuck you Beyoncé." She hissed before hanging up.
I cleared my throat and turned back around to the receptionist just to see her staring right back up at me. Except for this time her facial expressions didn't look so pleasing she looked, bothered.
"I'll see you some time soon?" I held my hand out for her to shake.
"Yes ma'am next month actually." She declined my request to shake hands and instead looked back at her computer screen.
Robyn
As Beyoncé pulled into my drive way I went to check on Blue one more time to see her still asleep. She used her spare key to let herself in and in no time I jumped up on her wrapping my legs around her waist.
"It's been three days." I whined when she tried to put me down.
She pecked my lips a few times before sitting us both down on the couch. "Why are you always horny." She asked me making me look at her funny.
"You initiate it most of the time don't try to be funny Giselle." I rolled my eyes.
"What did I say about that." Her hand grabbed onto my throat and slightly pressed down on it, that was her biggest pet peeve.
"I'm sorry baby."
"We aren't having sex today Robyn, I need your crazy ass to understand that you can't keep getting these nasty ass attitudes with me and think you can just say anything to me and then boom sex is just going to fix all of that. You need to learn to apologize when I tell you I feel disrespected. We're going to cuddle with my baby and watch a movie alright?" She spoke calmly as she rubbed at my sides.
"But I need it." I whined tugging at her belt but she only pushed my hands away.
"No, come on let's go get Blue." She stood the both of us up walking us to Blue's room and put me down.
As soon as she whispered Blue's name her eyes popped open and she was reaching up for her. I rolled my eyes at her spoiled ass because I wanted to be picked up too.
"Mommy my head hurts." She whined laying her head on Bey's shoulder as we walked back into the living room.
Blue laid in her lap while I snuggled into her side rubbing Blue's scalp.
"Mama said we can get ice cream tomorrow." She spoke hoarsely, smiling up at Bey.
"Not if you throw up again before today is over with but if you start feeling better I'll get my princess some ice cream." Bey tapped her nose before kissing her.
"I want a kiss too." I told her puckering my lips.
She pecked my lips and her lips were soon replaced by a smaller pair of lips making my smile wider. As we got into the middle of the movie Blue had found a way to go back to sleep.
"Take her to her room and meet me in mine." I told Beyoncé and got up going into my room.
After she put Blue down she came into my bedroom tossing her keys on the bed and plopped her body on the bed as well. I took that as the opportunity to climb myself into her lap.
"How you been feeling lately?" I asked her seeing that her temper wasn't that bad with me anymore.
"Now you're worried about me? After all that disrespectful bullshit I took the other day." She moved me off her lap and sat up.
"See there you go with your fucking mouth when all I'm doing is making sure you good. I give you pussy when you want it, cook for you when you want me to, give you a place to crash when you don't feel like going to your lonely ass house. All I ask is for you to respect me ok?"
The whole reason we had the argument in the first place was because she was basically eye fucking some broad in my damn face. Yes the things that I said to her were disrespectful and unnecessary but what she pulled was unacceptable.
She waved me off as she smacked her lips. "I do respect you."
"Let's just go to bed." I rolled my eyes yanking my covers back.
She got in beside me pulling me back to her before kissing my neck. "Stop being so upset with me all the time."
"Go to sleep Beyoncé." I sighed letting my body relax into hers.
"I love you."
That was the last thing I heard before I was completely knocked out.
