“Surprise…!” all of the maids and butlers shouted out to me with an excitement that nearly had me jumping out of my skin. There was just too much on my mind as I was trying to keep myself from falling backward.“What's going on?” I asked as I had almost lost my breath from the sudden rush of excitement that had been so intense to the point that I was scared. “I asked for a little house party to be thrown for you…” Dolph said from behind as he was looking the most excited I had ever seen him in a while. “You deserve it, Tamika…”Oh yes, I did. I had gone against unimaginable odds that had me wondering how exactly I had made it through. Everything seemed to have been against me until the moment when I heard the crowds cheer for me.But then, all of that was over and I was about to enter a long time of activity as I was trying to resuscitate my career once again. “Julia and Michael will be over here to celebrate with us at any time from now. I wanted us to celebrate specially and there
“Tamika Fisher is back in business baby…” Julia let out as we all raised a toast with our glasses of red wine clinking together.I just couldn't get enough of that moment as we all seemed to be in peace and with no need to pursue anything, at least for the time being. I was just wishing that moment would last for a while before something else would pop up. “You were stunning in the show, Tamika. Many people say you changed, some said you learned tire lesson…” Julia teased as laughter followed from all four of us seated there. “They can assume whichever one they please…” I said as I just didn't have the mental fortitude to think about what people were going to say to me. I had made me return perfectly and nothing was going to change it no matter what.“So… did you both bring any food along with you on your way here…?” I asked, staring at their confusion. “Are you kidding me?”“Well, the thing is…” Julia said as she had suddenly become the spokesman for the couple. “We were thinking
“All right, the moment of truth is finally here for everyone…” Julia hit me with a suspicious glance as it was time for the dishes to be tasted. “Too bad we don't have any external judges to judge on our behalf. Some people might choose to rate their basic dishes ten out of ten.” I let out, looking at her in the same way she looked at me. “And just for the record, we are the winning couple…”“Enough of that, please… you could have possibly made trash while speeding up…” Julia teased back. “This… doesn't look like trash…” I said pointing at our seafood pasta which had my mouth watering already. “Ladies… calm down. I can make provisions for external judges who would come and settle these scores for good…” Dolph was suddenly speaking up at the last time I had expected him to. “And who are the judges you would be using for this?” I asked, wondering if Dolph was going to pay the best culinary wizards in town to come be the judges. He was rich and he could do almost anything. “They're
“All right, Julia… it was awesome having you guys over. You made my day even more thrilling…” I said as I embraced her dearly.“Of course we did. And I hope there are no grudges withheld for your loss at the cooking contest.” Julia wasn't going to stop talking about that for a while. “It doesn't mean you guys are not a real couple, all right?”“Stop saying that…” I said with a smile as I was trying not to let it get to me. Deep down, I knew that the status of the relationship between me and Dolph was still in question. There were connections, but it felt like they were being inhibited by the contract attached to it. “The week begins tomorrow, and there are a lot of shows and podcasts waiting for you to accept their offers for you to be in them. We'll begin with full force tomorrow, and I hope you'll be ready to bring the heat.” Julia said with enthusiasm. “I'm glad that we're back in business. Good thing you didn't do anything stupid when that bastard, Randy tried to do you over.”“Y
“I think I'm in love with you, Tamika…”Those words kept echoing in my head for the next couple of moments, along with the sigh he had let out after saying them. The sigh seemed to be a sign that he had to swallow a great deal of pride before being able to say those words to me. But either way, I was reeling as I realized that all of my suspicions had been right all that time. There were a lot of things that had me feeling like I was just being lured into bed again, as that moment was just too good to be true. “But their contact forbids anything like this from happening between us… how could you suddenly start having feelings for me? Besides you were the one that made the contract… you can't possibly be the first one to break it.” I hoped I wasn't going to scare him away with that, as his pride would seem to be a big obstacle to him expressing himself. “You don't understand, Tamika…” he sighed tiredly as he seemed like he was fighting for his life by merely standing there and havin
I was sure he was about to do it all over again, as he took me up into his room, which was one of those places in the house where I rarely ever went to. There was simply something about his room that made me want to stay in there for a while. The grandeur of his spacious white cave had me feeling like I was the female character in some sort of fairytale. Without wasting any more time, he walked towards the bed and gently laid me down there, like I was his baby whom he was put to sleep. “Here we are, Tamika…” he said with a smile as he took off his clothes. Seeing those bold masculine features of his had me creaming all over again as I recalled what had happened the last time he had taken that same position, hovering over me.I was speechless as he undid my dress completely, leaving me flat out naked there on the bed, as he seemed to size me up like a predator did his prey. Soon enough, his kisses came on me with a deep passion that had me feeling like I was about to be sucked up i
“Rise and shine…” Tamika's voice was the first thing I was seeing that day and get face was the first I was seeing. It had to be some sort of paradise. “Seems like you're the one that had a hangover this time.” She said excitedly as she was seated in bed, fully clothed and with her eyes on me. “Hangover? Excuse me? I didn't have anything to drink…” I said as I slowly sat up in bed, feeling some sort of strange release within myself. Almost like I had poured it all out when I had taken her to bed. I couldn't tell what it was that made her body feel new every single time I held her in my arms. There were still too many things I felt I needed to do to her. But all that was to be done at a later time. It was a new week already and I couldn't even give any room for any sort of slacking. There was still a lot to do.“Did you sleep well?” She asked, ruffling my hair just a little bit while she spoke. There was something about the loving look in her eyes that made the sub seem to shine mu
“Touchdown…” I let out as the car parked in front of the radio broadcasting house where I had taken the phone call that had ended my entire career in one swift motion.There were a lot of deja vu feelings that came to my head at that point as I could recall the way I had run out of that place in awe of all that had happened to me in those few moments where I had decided to make a show of stupidity. I was glad that it was all behind me and I finally got the chance to begin all over again. There was bound to be some absurdity, seeing the same people who had seen me when I had broken down utterly to the hearing of the whole world.But at that time, I wasn't without company. I was walking with two of Dolph's bodyguards on either side as I made my way into the building. I kept my eyes open to any signs of Julia, as she had mentioned that my first stop of the day would be there to do a quick morning interview, at the place where it had all started. I still wasn't sure of the tactics Juli
