28. Ari
I was so fucking confused right now. I looked over at my sister, and she was looking on intensely as they walked out the door.
“Ci, what’s going on?”
“He called her Kenya, Ari. That’s his fiancé, who was supposed to be dead.
But I guess she’s not. I’m so fucking confused right now,” she whispered to me, with a hurtful look in her eyes.
She had tears sliding down her face. Damn, this is all the way fucked up!
He could have at least said something to her, not just walk away with the next bitch like my sister was nothing.
“Come on, y’all. Let’s go.” Zel walked up to us.
“Babe, what’s going on? Why he do her like that?” I was popping off questions left and right.
“Not now, Ari. I will explain later.” He looked at me with a saddened expression. Ciera walked slowly behind us with her head hung low.
“Ciera, I’m sorry this is happening. I’m sure my brother will explain it all to you. Just give him some time to find out what’s going on,” he said, looking at Ci. She nodded her head up and down and told us she was going to the room to lie down, so Zel and I headed to our room.
“This shit don’t fucking add up. Fuuuuuucccck!” He screamed. His phone started ringing and from the sound of it, he was talking to Juelz. This was some insane shit. I was worried about Ciera, so I dialed her cell.
“Hello,” she answered.
“Hey Ci, are you okay?”
“No. Ari, this is all bad. I was feeling him. Shit, I gave up my virginity to this man.” That was new. From my knowledge, Ci was a virgin, but hell, how can I talk when I was popping my shit for a real nigga too?
“It’s going to be alright, Ci.”
“Ari, I’m going to catch the next flight home. Juelz has some shit he needs to figure out, and I just can’t sit here and watch. He walked out without saying shit to me!” She cried and that caused me to cry.
“Okay, sis. We will get our things together; I’m not letting you fly alone.”
“Okay,” she said, ending the call. Zelan came walking back into the bedroom.
“Zelan, I need to leave with my sister. She’s so upset and wants to go home,” I told him.
“Yeah, Let’s do that. Juelz isn’t coming back. He is headed to the airport to get back New York,” he explained, pulling me in for a hug. I looked at him as if he had two heads. What the fuck does he mean, he’s not coming back?
“This is so fucked up, babe. He could have said something to her!” I yelled.
“I know, beautiful. I’m sorry that things are going down like this.
Something doesn’t seem right, but I promise I’ma get to the bottom of this shit,” he said, pulling me closer to him.
Fuck Juelz Kassom! If he doesn’t make things good with my sister, then we’re not good!
We got our things together, met Ciera in the lobby and headed to the airport.
3 A.M.
We had arrived back in New York, and all of us were tired as hell.
I invited Ciera to stay the night with us, but she declined, saying it was best if she went home.
Once we dropped her off, Zelan and I headed home.
The way Zelan kept checking on my sister and me during the trip home had me feeling so in love.
Yeah, I said it! It was definitely love.
This man was soooo fucking good to me. I lost my virginity!
I still can’t believe that shit! And now we’ve been sexing like rabbits in heat.
The way he makes me feel is unreal. We’d been living together for over a couple of months now.
Him saving me and moving me into his house has changed my life.
Damn, I was glad I never gave into Mike’s ass.
Speaking of Mike, he has been texting and threatening me, and Zel.
I’m not worried about him, though. That’s why I didn’t even mention it to Zel.
I was so distraught over what Mark tried to do, but it helped that I had my man and family there to support me.
I knew that after this, Ciera would need support from her family.
Neither of us have spoken to our mom, nor has she tried to reach out to us.
We spoke to Grams just about every day. That lady was something else.
She was still threatening me, asking for a fair one for taking Zelan.
My heart was full when he told me that Grams could get anything from him.
He said that he, and Juelz have been trying to move her out the hood for a while now, but she wouldn’t budge.
Once we got settled, I got a few hours of sleep and then got up to head to my school.
Since we decided to come back home, I wanted to go take the end of the semester exam that my ass was going to miss because we went to Belize.
But now that we were back, I decided to just go ahead and take the exam.
And after that, we were on summer break.
Thank God I was on time to class because I didn’t feel like hearing my professor’s mouth.
This was technically my first time back at school since the Mark incident.
My professors were sending my assignments to me through my Blackboard online.
Walking in the class and finding my seat, I looked around, and it was a full class.
“Welcome back, Ms. Voss,” my professor stated.
“Thank you; it’s good to be back,” I spoke curtly.
I was sure she knew I didn’t get down with her like that because she was always hard on me for no damn reason. An hour and ten minutes later, the class was finally over, and I was headed out the door.
“Ms. Voss, can I see you for a moment?” My professor called out. I turned and headed up to her desk.
“Yes?” I stood there waiting on her to speak.
“Ari, I know you don’t care for me, and I’m fine with that. I just wanted to check on you to make sure you were alright. They advised me from the front office that you would be out sick and needed your work. You never miss class, so I knew it had to be something serious,” she spoke.
I was shocked that she even cared enough to see how I was doing.
“I’m doing much better. Thanks for asking,” I responded.
“Good. I’m so glad to hear that. Ari, I know you may think I’m hard on you, it’s just me seeing the potential you have to graduate and be successful.
I push you because I want to see you succeed,” she revealed, and I couldn’t do anything but look at her.
For the longest time, I thought she just didn’t like me.
“Thank you, professor. I assumed you just didn’t like me.” I looked over at her, pleased that we had this conversation.
“I don’t have a hateful bone in my body, baby. You have a great vacation, and see you when the school break is over,” she said.
“You too,” I replied, leaving the classroom and heading home.
Once I arrived home, I had so much to do before we headed out to the club later. Oh, my God I was so excited to go. I made it home in record time and couldn’t be more excited.
“Hey, bae,” Zelan said, walking up to kiss me.
“Hey, baby. How was your day?” I asked him.
“All is good in my world,” he expressed.
Ding Dong!
I was standing closest to the door, so I turned to go answer it. When I opened it, I got the shock of my life.
“Professor, what are you doing here?” I asked her, confused as hell.
“I should ask you the same thing, Ari. This is my son’s house, what are you doing here?” she asked with the same look I was sure I had on my face. That’s when Zelan walked up.
“Hey, mom,” he said as he stepped up to kiss Professor Kassom.
Damn… Kassom. I never put two and two together that they had the same last name or that I met Zel at my school. Dammmmn!
“I see you met my girl Ari,” Zel said to his mother.
“I know Ari very well, Zelan. I just didn’t know you were dating her, or anyone for that matter,” she said, looking at the both of us.
“How y’all know each other? Ohhhhh shit! Mom is your professor? Please tell me she not the hag that has been mean to my baby, the one I was gone ride down on?” He asked me with a raised brow. I hit his ass in the arm for saying that shit. I was so embarrassed.
“I just came to check on you, because that trip was quick. I know something happened, and I'll be waiting on you to call and tell me when you’re ready. I must say, Zelan, I’m proud of you, I’m very fond of Ari. Ari let’s get together when you have some time,” she expressed, hugging both of us.
“Okay,” I spoke up.
“Love you, mom,” Zel said as he walked her out.
“Yoooooooo, I can’t believe that’s your mom, and I don’t know why I didn’t put that shit together. We had a really good talk today, and I’m so glad we did.”
“Yeah, that’s crazy how the world works sometimes. It’s funny how we all are connected some kind of way. Me, knowing your grandmom, and you knowing my mom,” he shrugged his shoulders.
After his mom left, he called his brother and didn’t get an answer.
We were still tired from all that traveling, so we wanted to take a nap.
I walked into the bedroom after taking a shower, and this man was laying on the bed with his clothes off.
His dick was standing at attention, so I decided, in my mind, that I wanted to please him just as he has done for me countless times before.
I crawled over to him, kissing his lips.
He looked at me, pulling me closer to deepen the kiss.
I started kissing my way down to his shaft, rubbing it up and down, and kissing it before placing it in my mouth.
“Babe, just open wide, and don’t use your teeth.”
“I got this, babe; I have been watching videos.” I looked up at him as I continued my mission. I must have been doing something right because Zel started rubbing his fingers through my hair.
“That’s all the fuck you better be doing is watching videos,” he groaned.
“Sssssshiiiittt, girl.” he growled. With the moans and movement, he was making, I felt like I was doing something right, so it motivated me to go a little deeper and faster.
“Ohhhhhhh fuck! Babe, right there! Don’t stop that shit!” He yelled as he started pumping in and out of my mouth. I almost gagged, but I held it together.
My mouth gripped tighter around his wood, sucking up and down with a little more pressure. His back rose from the bed, and he grabbed my head again. I felt his dick pulsate in my mouth, so I knew he was close to cumming, and a few strokes later, he released.
“Oohh baby! Fucccckkkkkk! That shit was so fucking good! That sealed the deal, I’m marrying your ass,” he laughed.
I laughed with him, got off the bed, and headed to the bathroom so we could take a shower. We chilled out until later, we were going to the club, and I hoped that Ci came out to celebrate her birthday with us.
