Page 59 of Taming a Menace

“You can’t expect me to be alone if I don’t want to while I’m holding out hope that you actually do what you need to do. Who knows if you’ll even still feel the same at the end of your treatment? Who’s to say I even want you like that?”

“You do. You just told me you’re holding out hope that I do what I need to do.”

“That’s not what I said.”

“You don’t need a nigga sniffing around when you got me. I’ll do whatever you need me to. I’ll fill whatever void you think some other mediocre dude is going to fill while you’re holding out hope that daddy keeps his word. I’ll even blow your back out as needed.”

I couldn’t stop myself from laughing. “Is that right?”

“Hell yeah, I will. Just to help you stay carefree and happy, I’ll do that. It won’t be for me though. It’s for you. Everybody knows a good dick down is good for your health.”

“What the hell ever!” I continued to cackle.

“As a matter of fact, let me talk to my friend. I know she misses me.”

“What friend?” I asked.

He didn’t answer my question. Instead he pushed me on my back as he positioned himself between my legs. He lowered his head until he was inches away from my pussy. I wanted his mouth on me, but I had to stand my ground. I would at least pretend to put up a fight. I pushed up on my elbows and watched him stare between my legs.

“What are you doing?” I frowned.

“Hey, sweetheart. I know you miss me as much as I miss you, but I’ve been working on something. OK, baby?”

“Wow! Are you serious?” I asked, giggling and throwing my head back at his antics.

“Shh! Listen, baby, I didn’t abandon you. I know you miss daddy, but I have to earn my way back to you. I need to prove to our friend that just because you got my mind gone I actually like her too. Just because I’m getting to know her doesn’t mean that I don’t love you. I’m crazy about you. I haven’t even made any new friends since I met you. Don’t give Moon a hard time about my fine ass. She’s not that bad. Don’t make her feel weak by leaking and radiating all this heat when I come around. I know that you miss me, friend. Just give me a little time. I’m coming back for you. I promise,” he said, kissing my inner thigh and backing up as if he didn’t just talk to my pussy like it was another person.

That fool didn’t even look my way before reaching out and picking up one of the bags from the table.

“Moonie, you let our food get cold,” he complained.

“You did that. I told you it was getting cold.”

“We can fix it though. I’ll put a little heat on the hibachi and toss your wontons in the air fryer for a couple of minutes.”

“Wow. I’ve never even thought about that. Usually when my wontons get cold, I know it’s over for them. I’ve never tried putting them in the air fryer.”

“Yeah, you have to be careful about the time though. I burned some in less than three minutes. Let it heat up then pop them in for about a minute.”

“Got ya,” I said, standing to follow him to the kitchen.

“You don’t have to get up, mama. Find something for us to watch. You want a drink?”

“I’ll take water if it’s cold.”

“OK, I’ll be right back.”

Key wasn’t even gone a full minute before he returned and gave me a bottle of water. He had a beer clutched in his other hand. When he sat next to me, he put his drink on the coffee table then took the bottle of water out of my hand, opened it, and gave it back to me. Then he picked his beer and the remote up off the table and passed the remote control to me.

“Find something to watch while we eat. No reality shows.”

I laughed. “I don’t watch reality shows, but if I did, the controller of the remote dictates what we watch.”

“Do you always have to be in control?” he asked.

“I’m sure most people like to control what goes on around them.”

“Not everyone likes control. I’m just asking for future reference,” he noted.
