DIONNAH'S POV I was just sitting there, gritting my teeth and staring daggers at the three people making fun of my blind date fiasco the other night. So, what if I ran away because the man was white? I just didn't date them and that was that. “Haha haha!” Dani threw her head back, giggling like a lunatic after she recited something funny at my expense, again. Her luscious lips, which were similar to mine, trembled as she belted out the most unladylike laugh I had ever heard her give. I was angry at her for outing me and letting everyone know I don't normally dress like this. I watched through squinted eyes as Jon wiped his soon-to-be wife's mouth. She laughed so hard that she began to drool. “And then I said, Dee, Don't knock it till you've tried it," Jonny added, sending Dani into another fit of laughter. She threw herself into Jonny's arms. Both of them held each other as they laughed their asses off. Those two, Dani and Jonny, were like two peas in a pod. A part of my insid
M.I.K.E.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Miller, this is Dionnah Delaney from Delaney Designs. I am calling to confirm our meeting next Tuesday. Looking forward to doing business with you." Dionnah sat at her desk making business calls, trying to get that hot piece of work out of her head. She couldn't stand their heated encounters but yet, she secretly desired them. The adrenaline rush and the heat he emitted when he got deeply agitated made Dionnah more turned on than ever. Maybe she was a little crazy, she thought. This behaviour was a little toxic. “Hmm," she hummed attentively while she listened to her potential client on the other end of the receiver. M.I.K.E.Y.“Yes, Mrs. Miller, we do offer top-notch service and I guarantee satisfaction, if not, you get 50 percent of your money back." M.I.C.H.A.E.L.“I hope so, too. Thank you for considering Delaney Designs. Have a lovely day," Dionnah chimed in her best customer service voice as she ended the call. She wanted to ensure she gave nothi
“How dare he! How dare he!" Dionnah fumed, throwing her pen across her office. Michael had built up her heart with excitement and the possibility that she could love again, only to shred it by accusing her of cheating. After what dirty Derick did to her, she not only promised herself not to date anyone white, but she also made a vow that if she managed to get into another relationship, she would never cheat or give her partner any doubts about her fidelity. “Oh, shit!” She whined to herself. “This man is driving me crazy."She paced around the room, ignoring her office phone that kept on ringing non-stop. “What am I thinking? How can I cheat on someone I'm not even in a relationship with? Why am I so bothered by this?" The phone kept on ringing. “Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" She grabbed her purse and slapped the phone over and over with it until it fell off her desk. “Oh, My God! I think it's dead." Amelia entered the office just in time to see Dionnah murdering the office phone. “
Dionnah was flustered and out of breath, feeling awkward standing there gawking at the Mountain of sexiness in front of her. He was just standing there glaring at nothing in particular. His hands leisurely tucked into the pockets of his grey sweatpants that hugged his bow legs appreciatively. His dark silk muscle shirt was sleeveless, baring his biceps to Dionnah. Her tummy somersaulted as she marvelled at the handsome man before her. His arm tattoos hit that sweet spot between her thighs every time. It was like each moment her eyes met him; they tricked her brain into thinking it was the first time they were seeing him, causing her to forget how to breathe. But she pushed through her uneasiness and spoke. "Michael, I'm here." She chomped down on her bottom lip, trying hard not to run and tackle him to the ground and kiss him until both their mouths wither and turned into dust. She lingered for him to reply. She noticed his shoulders tensed at the sound of her voice, like he didn't e
~Ambivalence refers to having mixed or contradictory feelings about something or someone. It can involve indecision or uncertainty due to having both positive and negative emotions or attitudes about a person, object, or situation. For example, a person might feel ambivalence about a job offer if they are excited about the salary but not about the job responsibilities. In Dionnah's case, her ambivalence is with how she feels about entering into another relationship after what she endured with Derick.~******DIONNAH'S POVI am ready, I was sure I was. This was what I wanted, plus I'd never been this attracted to any man before. Ever!Michael seemed to be caught off guard, but the grin on his face told me he'd been wanting to do this since the moment we met. His eyes showed his longing need for me and it was driving my nether region wild. I liked being wanted by Michael, it made me feel sexy like I was a Goddess of some sort. Michael accepted my lips with his. We moaned loudly as our
DIONNAH'S POVA ton of dead weight crashed down on my chest, but I said nothing. I just stared out into the distance, and my eyes settled on the empty space at the entrance of the pathway. I now realized that it was missing something, maybe two big potted plants on either side. I made a little mental note to go pottery shopping when I got the chance. My eyes then went to find many little things that needed fixing in the backyard. Maybe I could hire a landscaper and he could turn this place into a fairy's playground. "Dee, did you hear me?" Dani shook me from my trance."Mhmhm," I jumped. "I said did you hear me? Derick's engaged.""Yes. I heard you, Dani. Loud and clear," I snapped. That big-fat-coconut-head bastard. He told me he wouldn't get married until he was successful and in his forties. I guess that was another one of his lies. "I just thought you should hear it from me and not someone else.""Right. Good for him though." I half smiled. I guess it was good for him and even
DIONNAH'S POVIt was 3 am and I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned in my bed replaying the awful argument I had with Michael a couple of hours ago. Why did life have to be so unfair?I was exhausted and I had a busy schedule today. It was the day me and Dani would hold the auditions for the models for the upcoming fashion show. We had postponed the auditions due to minor setbacks and we were already way behind schedule. I groaned, sitting up in bed. Images of Michael sitting alone in the rose gardens came to my mind. I felt guilty, maybe I was a bit too harsh. “Why must I be so insensitive sometimes?" I questioned myself. I hated myself for how I behaved and even though I knew me and Michael would never work out as a couple, I still felt the need to apologize. We were gonna be in-laws plus he'll be living with me for a while so I didn't want things to get awkward. I checked the clock, It was now 3:30 am. I fought the urge to go to his room and knock, so I decided on a glass of milk
DIONNAH'S POVI arrived at work but before I got into the full swing of things, I needed to speak to Dani. I saw her talking to Amelia by the coffee station. Amelia saw me first. “Morning Dee," she greeted but I didn't acknowledge her. “You," I pointed an accusing finger at my sister. “In my office, now!" I demanded then walked off. “Ohhh someone's in trouble," I heard Amelia giggling. I took my blazer jacket off and threw it over my office chair. Dani walked in. “Sup sis?"“Don't sup sis me," I squinted at her. “Close the door and sit."She realized I was pissed off by now so she did as she was told. “What is going on?"“What is going on? You really wanna know? How about how my sister went behind my back and brought her fiancee and his brother on the auditioning committee and not tell me a word about it?"“Shit Dee," Dani whined. “I'm so sorry. I wanted to tell you, but we weren't talking and things just got so messed up." “Look, it's water under the bridge. Next time when we f
THIRD PERSON POV Two Years Later It was noon, the weather was great and the scene ahead was even more amazing. Dionnah sat with her husband and their now four year old daughter, who was preoccupied on her tablet to even notice what was taking place. Danielle was sitting to the left with the twins beside her who were also busy with their devices. Jonathan stood at the alter right beside his best friend Joey who looked dashingly handsome in his tux. The doors of the church swung open and in walked the cutest little flower girl. Bethany sauntered inside, throwing a handful of flowers with every waltz. "She's so beautiful," Dee turned to Michael and said. "Yes she is," he beamed. Bethany reached the altar and stood in her position. Everyone stood as the pianist started playing the wedding march. Stefanie graced the entrance looking like the most beautiful bride on earth and marched slowly to the altar where her groom awaited her anxiously. The minister performed the wedding ceremo
DIONNAH'S POV"Oh yes Dionnah, just like that. Oh fuck," Michael moaned as I bobbed my head up and down over his cock."You like that," I said as I lifted my head and licked my lips."You have no fucking idea how much. Come here." I climbed up to the bed and sprawled out on his chest. He began kissing me passionately and I moaned. "Come up to my face," he lifted his lips from mine."What?""I need that sweetness of yours in my mouth," he said as he pulled me along his body."Whoa," I exclaimed in surprise He was laying on the bed and he made sure I was straddling his head. His mouth found my cunt and he licked. "Oooh." "Let me please you." "Please me, Michael, please me." He began sucking and teasing my most sensitive bundle of nerve and I felt my juices running. He inserted a finger past my folds and into my slickness and I gasped."Oh god. It feels so good."He continued licking and sucking on me. The sweet sensation began to tug at my core. I then involuntarily began to grind
DIONNAH'S POVOne month laterIt was a Thursday afternoon when I got the call. I was at work and Dani and I had just finished a meeting with some potential clients for Delaney Designs. When I answered I didn't recognize the voice immediately, until the person spoke my name. It was Gregory."Why are you calling my phone? What do you want you bastard?""I think we need to talk," he said on the other end of the line."Talk? I have nothing to say to you." "Please" he pleaded before I could hang up. "Just two minutes Dionnah, hear me out.""You have one minute," I said as I pressed the record button."Thank you," he said and I rolled my eyes. "Dionnah I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for what I did to you. I was just going through some stuff and seeing you triggered certain emotions. You know I always wanted you but I didn't think my yearning for you would lead me to try to rape you." "Thirty seconds," I said checking my time."My point is I'm truly sorry and I would appreciate it i
Dionnah's POVIn the evening we were on babysitting duty since Danielle and Jonathan went on a dinner date. We made Macaroni in a pot, not the microwave kind. After bathing them and getting them in their PJs Michael and I decided to let them watch a movie. We picked out the Smurf movie and the kids settled to watch it. They giggled and laugh as they watched it and my heart was contented seeing all three of them so happy and innocent.The movie ended at 8 o'clock and all three of them were fast asleep.Michael brought up Jonah and then came for Janel. I brought up Kehlani and tucked her into bed.I went to take a quick shower and then got into my pajamas.I returned downstairs to find Michael setting up a movie to watch. His hair was damp and he was now wearing a gray T-shirt and black shorts. "Why is your hair wet?""I took a shower in the guest bathroom." "Oh okay," I said sitting down on the couch with my legs crossed."I was thinking we could watch a movie to kill some time, you
DIONNAH'S POVAfter bringing me to the hospital to ensure that I was okay, Michael insisted that I went to the police and file a report. I was hesitant at first, then I finally agreed. While at the station they sent a squad car to check out the location but when they got there Gregory was already gone. After filling out all the paperwork for the report, Michael finally took me home.It was almost 10:30 when we got home. Danielle and Jonathan were waiting for us when we got there."Dionnah I'm so glad that you are okay," Dani said as she hugged me."I'm fine, Danielle." "I was so worried. But Jonathan came and said you weren't physically hurt but you were shaken up. I felt relieved. Gregory is gonna pay for this.""I guarantee he will," stated Michael."Thanks for looking out for me guys. I'm gonna go upstairs now, I just want to see Kehlani.""Okay. Go and get some rest too," said Danielle."Dani I'm so grateful for a sister like you. I can never repay you for always looking out for
DIONNAH'S POVThe inside of the building had a lobby area. It looked like an abandon hotel and it was under construction."What is this place?" I asked as he led us to an elevator."It's my next venture." He simply said with a smile."Oh. So what do you plan on doing with this much space?" "Why so hasty? I'll tell you everything when we are settled and more comfortable," he then pressed the number four on the elevator buttons. The elevator stopped and we got off. We entered a room that looked like a high end night club. The walls were black with gold accents, it had some small tables with love seats around them. The ceiling had gold and silver light fixtures and the corners had gold columns all around."What is this place Gregory?" I asked as we reached a huge love seat in one of the corners of the room."Please have a seat and we'll talk.""Okay," I said awkwardly."So there I was a couple months ago taking a drive to clear my head," he began as he took up two wine glasses and a bo
DIONNAH'S POVThe next couple of days were weird between Michael and me. I slept in my daughter's room and the only time we spoke was if it was about Kehlani. I noticed that Michael wasn't sleeping in our room either, in fact, he wasn't sleeping at all. "Good morning," I said as I brought Kehlani down for breakfast.Michael was the one who made breakfast but I wasn't in the mood for any. I hadn't been feeling well since the following morning. I would get these slight headaches and get sick at the slightest scent. "Good morning Dionnah, good morning Lani bear," Michael said before kissing Lani. "Dada," Lani said and I smiled."Can you please give her breakfast? I have to go get ready for work.""Aren't you going to have something to eat?" "No. I'm fine. Just ensure that Kehlani eats hers," I told him."Okay," he said then I left the room.That's one thing I loved about Michael. He knew how to give me the space I needed. I loved him with all my heart, but sometimes he did things tha
DIONNAH'S POVWhen I got to the apartment building I was very careful. I ensured that I parked where they couldn't see my car but I could see them. It's safe to say I went into full detective mode. But I was shocked when I didn't see Michael's car anywhere near the apartment. I looked up and down the street and there was still no sign of the car. I waited for almost twenty minutes and still no sign of Michael. So I decided to call him. The phone went straight to voicemail. I made two more attempts and it was the same result. I was becoming angrier and angrier at the situation I was in. Why was Michael doing this? I thought.I got fed up and decided to head home. On my way home Dani called and told me that Michael just got back to their house. I hung up and pressed the accelerator. I managed to navigate my way through traffic and in record time I was home."Where is he?" I asked Danielle as I entered the kitchen."He's upstairs," she answered."Mamaaaa," I heard my daughter's sweet voi
DIONNAH'S POVWhen Michael's punishment was over he made up for lost time. A girl wasn't complaining but I was sore in most places and had love marks all over my body. It was now the weekend and I had to do a bit of grocery shopping for the house. We had a thing where every week we would take turns to do the shopping and this week was mine. I left Khelani with Michael who told me he was gonna head over to Jon's. I told him that was a great idea since Dani was coming with me to do some grocery shopping of her own. It was almost noon when we reached the store, it wasn't too packed and I was thankful for that because I hated the hustle and bustle of that situation. We were almost finished with our shopping when I glimpsed the woman called Stefanie, she had Bethany standing beside her holding a LOL doll. Our eyes met and I gave her a smile and a nod. Dani and I then walked up to the check-out line with our two trolleys in tow. There were only three persons ahead of us as we waited. A fe
