and sighed heavily. He knew his marriage was on rocky ground and it was his fault, but now was not the time to discuss it.
“I’m late babe; we can talk when I get back.”
“Back from where, where are you goin’?”
“I gotta handle somethin’ real quick.” Sway went to the dresser to get his keys.
“What is goin’ on with you?” Ranae’s eyes began to mist. “It’s like you’ve completely checked out of this marriage. I don’t know what to think anymore!”
Sway looked down at his wife, he saw the pain and worry in her eyes. He wanted so much to tell her the truth but he just couldn’t do it. He wanted to tell her what was going on but the words wouldn’t come out…he was ashamed of himself.
“I gotta go Ranae…we’ll talk later ok?”
She closed her eyes tight holding back the tears and just walked away shaking her head. Sway regrettably let her walk away with her emotions going crazy; he was already late and didn’t have time for conversation right now.
An hour later he walked into the Ready Room Lounge. It was a classy place with a sensual atmosphere. Women dressed in expensive lingerie were all over the place. They all noticed him standing in the entrance and sent sexy messages to him with their sultry eyes. There were just as many men in the club as women but everyone seemed upscale and tasteful. There were ass cheeks and bare breasts floating all around him as the sexy crowd mingled with each other. His peep show was put on pause when he felt a light tap on his shoulder.
“What took you so long?”
Sway turned around, “I had to deal with Ranae and all her questions…sorry I’m late.”
“No need to apologize, I’m sure you can find some way to make it up to me.”
Sway adjusted his silk tie, “I’ll do my best.”
“I’m sure you will…now let’s go to the back room so I can show you what I’m workin’ with.”
The two sauntered toward a dimly lit area of the club but before they could get there, a waitress named Nadine stopped them.
“Angelique, where should I put this case of tequila and the fresh linens for the beds?”
Angelique pointed to the bar, “Jus’ put them on the floor .”
“Ok boss lady, and uhhh, who’s this handsome hunk of a man?” Nadine was a young sexy white college girl with a wild side.
Angelique narrowed her eyes at her young employee.
“Put your pussy on pause sweetie cuz he’s all mine.”
First Date
It was my first time riding a horse and I had to admit I was enjoying myself more than I thought I would. When I asked Dallas where she wanted to go on our first real date, the last thing I expected her to say was horseback riding. I figured she wasn’t the type to be around smelly animals all afternoon but yet again she surprised me. So here we were on the outskirts of the city laughing and being silly while we rod e up the winding trail.
Dallas looked inviting in her blue jeans paired with a clingy sleeveless turtleneck shirt. Diamond studs accented her tiny ears while a gentle breezed played with her hair.
“I think you’re starting to get the hang of it.” She said looking over at me.
“Yeah, I think so…finally. Where did you learn to ride so good?”
“My dad used to take me riding all the time when I was a little girl. There’s jus’ somethin’ about horses that I love.”
I patted my horse on his thick neck, “Yeah, there amazing animals.”
No sooner had I said that, her horse stopped in his tracks and started to piss on the ground below. It looked like he had a water hose underneath him as the yellow stream came gushing out. Now I see where the term, ‘piss like a racehorse’ came from.
“Damn, he don’t even lift his leg up or nothin’” I said in awe.
Dallas chuckled a little, “Nope, aint no shame in his game…gotta go gotta go.”
We continued up the trail and after a few minutes, Dallas broke the silence.
