Chapter Seventeen; Bittersweet
Rome "Ace" McKenzie
3:23 amI sat in the living room of Desire's apartment, waiting for her to sit down. Placing the bottle of water on the coffee table, she took her seat on the opposite side of the room, facing me. She sat with her legs folded under her, resting her elbow on the arm of the couch. The awkward silence was starting to bother me.
"So how you been?" I asked.
"I've been ok, happy to be back home" she spoke, pulling her hair behind her ear.
"You been gone for the past 3 months, why come back now?"
"I wasn't gonna stay, I just needed to get away from everything, away from Dre"
"So what you plan on doing now?" I asked, wondering if she even knew he was dead.
"Im starting over. Desire is here now, not the girl you knew three months ago"
"Oh yeah? What's the difference? Does this Desire plan on leving too?"
"What difference does it make? Did me leaving really affect you? Obviously not" Desire replied with a slight attitude.
"You serious? Did you think I would wait for you? You aint leave me shit but a note! No number, no address, nothing! You came back with Floyd, remember?" I said, making my point clear.
"No, I didn't expect you to wait" she spoke softly. Sometimes my honesty hurts others, & at that point I knew it. I positioned my elbows on my knees as I held my face in my hands, looking over at Desire.
"So where'd you go?" I asked in a calmer voice.
"I went to this place in Miami. I had sighned up for it a few days after left the hospital. This lady came up to me, and she just said, 'When you want it to stop, call me.' It was crazy because it was like she already knew. I couldn't lie to her and say 'oh I did this or oh I did that'.Finally I called her one night, and I was gone the next day."
"You heard from ya' boy?" I asked as I leaned back, relaxing myself. Des looked down, slowly shaking her head. I chuckled to myself. "You a trip"
"Me? Dont sit there and act like your some Saint"
"You aint got shit on me!"
"Oh yeah? Word is you and ya' boys been bodying niggas left & right! How'd you get the money to afford all this big shit? Huh? Last I remebered we lived in the same building, so I know you aint got much!" I sucked my teeth and looked away. "Yeah, exactly what I thought" she said getting up, about to walk out.
"So shit you stalkin a nigga now?" I replied sarcastically as I stood up as well.
"Dont flatter yourself" she said turning around, "just because I left doesnt mean I didnt check on people I lov-" Des stopped, looking down quickly, wondering if she had just said what she thought she did.
"People you what?" I asked
"Nothing, forget it" Des said a she turned away quickly, all ready half way down the hallway, headed towards her room.
"Im serious" I said, pulling her back with a firm grip.
The sound of keys hitting the counter echoed. I turned around to see, Floyd. Damn. The last thing I needed was him thinking I was tryna pass on 'his girl'.
"Im interupting something?" he asked. It was obvious he was tipsy, but how tipsy? I released Desire's arm and walked towards Floyd, with Des right behind me. Floyd stepped infront of me. "Am I?" he spoke, the smell of liquor fueming from his breath.
"Back up man" I said, lightly pushing him away. He pushed my hands off of him. He was tipsy enough to get his wires mixed.
"Nah bruh, you tryna' pass on my girl?" Floyd said.
"Floyd chill your drunk" Desire said stepping between us, "Rome just dropped me off"
I pushed my way pass Floyd, headed towards the door, I grabbed my keys from the coffee table and made my exit. I didnt have time for Floyd's shit, and Desire's ass was full of surprises. I pulled out of her apartment complex, headed for my newest upgrade in Heron Square, my place.
I walked through the rotating doors of Heron Square, finally I was home. I walked past the night shift girl, who always had something to say. "Late night" she spoke with attitude. I kept on my way, I was too tired to even entertain her shit. Stepping onto the elevator, I pressed for the 14th floor, top floor. I leaned against the mirror wall, letting my head rest on it as well. My eye lids met and for a few seconds, I was damn near asleep. *Elevator chimes* I opened my eyes and stepped out.
"Janae?" I asked, wondering if I was really seeing her.
"Y-yeahh" she spoke shyly.
"What you doin here? I thought I asked you to stay at ole girl's house?" I said as we made a left towards my door.
"I know, I missed you" she said smiling.
"Playing that cute shit huh?" I said as I gripped her hand as i opened the door.

I hadn't smoked in a minute, and Vanilla Kush was exactly what I needed. I watched as Janae stepped into the shower with a towel wrapped body, then through the towel over the railing of the sliding glass door. The steam from her shower had already fogged the glass. Inhale...hold it...exhale. I relaxeed myself as I removed my shirt. I had long kicked off my shoes, and as I walked towards the bathroom door, my hands were undoing my belt...botton..zipper. Removing my last peice of clothing, I took another puff, put it out, and entered the bathroom. Closing the door lightly behind me, I slid the shower door open. As I stepping in, Janae's back was turned to me. Letting the hot water kiss her flawless body. From behind, I pulled her towards me.
"Shit Rome. You scared me" she spoke as I laid my head on her shoulder. I kissed her neck, ignoring her comment as i held her body tighter. As I kissed her from her neck up to her full lips, she turned around, looking up at me. Tip toeing, she kissed my lips, soon our tongues were wrestling as my hands explored her body. Pushing her against one of the shower walls, may hands caressed her ass as they slid down to the back of her thighs. Lifting her up, I was face to face with my two C cup best friends. Devouring one in my mouth, Janae moaned as her body squirmed in my arms, but I wasn't letting her go any where. "Ahh fuck" she hissed as my finger's played with her wet peach. "Shit girl" I groaned, pleased with how wet she was. Kissing her breast, I bit down on her nipple, making her scream out, arching her back, pressing her breast in my face even more. My manhood stood, ready to please and be pleasured. "You want me stop?" I asked, teaseing her. Janae sucked her bottom lip in her mouth, bitting down on it as she shook her head no. I guess she thought I was playing. My finger's invaiding her personal space, violating her tight sweetness. "I cant hear you" I groaned as I slowly lowered her body, bitting down on her neck. She moaned beautifully in my ear, "No, baby...don't stop" she said as she ran her hands down my back. I removed my fingers and dripped my manhood, positioning myself right at her southern heavens. Teasing her, I rubbed my hard hood up from her tender clit, down to her juicey peach. "Shit Rome dont tease me" Janae spoke as she wrapped her legs around my waist. As much as I would love to hear her scream out, I kissed her hard as I pushed myself deeper between her legs, truly invaiding her privacy. Janae held me tighter as she arched her back, her scream of pleasure trapt in our passionate kiss.

I let her down, refusing to remove my lips from hers. Spinning her round, her back faceing me now, I gripped her hair, pulling her close enough so she could hear me. "Bend over" I demanded. Janae looked at me seductivly and while bitting down on her lip once more, she did as I had asked. I gripped her hair again as she placed her hands on the walls. As I was thrusting in and out of her, Janae was throwing her ass back, keeping up with my pace. I had met my match. Pulling her completly up, I lifted her right leg up, resting it in the fold of my right arm. Janae cursed me as I pumped my manhood deeper and faster inside of her than before. Her breast bounced uncontrolably as she gripped the towel holder. I had her right where I wanted her, unable to conrol her own self. "Oh fuck Rome!" She screamed out. "Cum for me girl" I groaned in her ear. Seconds later, Janae had showered the both of us. I pulled out and finished. Turning Janae around, I lightly pushed her against the wall. Smilling while catching her breath, she kissed me. "You gonna be smilling all week?" I asked sarcastically as I gained my breath. "Not if I dont get any in the morning" she laughed.

Later That Morning
I opened my eyes, looking up at the mirrors over my bed, Janae wasnt next to me. "Janae?" I called out as I got up.
"Im in here bae" I walked down the hall to see her dressed in one of my shirts, cooking breakfast. I walked behind her a wrapped my arms around her waist. "Here taste it" she said.
"Thats what im talkin bout" I said as I kissed her neck. "What you doing today?" I asked as I leaned on the island.
"I wanna get my hair done, I just dont know where"
"Floyd's mom has a lil spot, i'll take you there" I said, remembering Floyd and I's lil miss hap last night at Des's place.
"Alright, go freshin up, after we eat we're leaving, I wanna get there early"
After kissing her one more time, I headed for my bathroom.

In The Car
"Baby, the girl at the club, who was she?" Janae asked. I knew who she was talking about, I just wanted to play dumb for a moment.
"Which one?" I asked.
"The one that came with Floyd, y'all know each other?" she asked.
"Yeah, she uh, we used to live by each other" I said.
"Oh"
"Why bae?"
"Just asking" she replied.
I pulled up to Ms.Joy's place to see she was just opening up.
"Hey Rome, I thought that was you"
Ms.Joy smiled as she hugged me. "You bringing me a new customer?" she asked as she smiled at Janae.
"Yeah, this my lady Janae" I inroduced. Janae glowed.
"Well Lady Janae, im Ms.Joy, come on in girl" she said as Maria pulled up.
"Hey girl!" she said loudly, speaking to Janae.
"Girl stop being loud!" Ms.Joy said lightly laughing at her.
"Call me when you done, Ima go pick up Joy from my moms" I said.
"You better bring her lil cute self here!" Ms.Joy said.
"Yes ma'am I will" I laughed after I kissed Janae. I opened the door, ready to leave.
Walking into the salon, Keira brushed past me. Rude hoes. Janae looked at her like she was crazy. [Keira is the girl from Ch.10 who called Floyd 'Torrence'.]
"Dont even trip bae" I said as I continued to walk out of the door. I only pray that Keira doesn't say anything out of line, 'her tracks will be everywhere' I laughed to myself.
