right? Meanwhile, chill out and see about Brianna. He hasnât put his hands on her, has he?â
âNo,â Alexis said, biting her nails while standing in front of me. âHe hasnât touched her, but it ainât like he gets any points for being a good dad. That nigga is a live-in deadbeat.â
Sorry, I had to defend Nate. In actuality, he was the only one bringing money into the household. And as far as I knew, he did a whole lot for Brianna. He loved her, and he always talked about doing big things for his little girl.
âYou may not know the real definition of a deadbeat,â I said. âI can tell you this. It definitely ainât Nate.â
Alexis rolled her eyes at me and professed that I was on the outside looking in. I kept trying to make my point, but it was as if she wasnât paying me much attention. Her eyes started to shoot me a seductive gaze. I would be lying if I said I hadnât seen that look in her eyes before. There was a possibility that Nate had seen it too. That was why he reacted the way he did. Her stare made me uncomfortable, so I quickly changed the subject.
âIâm getting ready to make a move. Put some ice on yoâ face, and if or when Nate comes back, try not to go there with him.â
As I stepped away from the door, Alexis reached for my bicep, squeezing it. âI need a real man in my life, Bones. Iâm tired of messing around with little boys. You already know whatâs up, and one of these days, I want you, and only you, to rescue me from all of this bullshit.â
I was never one to show my anger unless I had to. I wasnât sure what kind of game Alexis was playing, and I despised bitches who werenât loyal. This was a dangerous move. Alexis knew it.
âI rescued you once, and I wonât do it again. I donât approve of how Nate treats you, but Iâm starting to understand why my nigga canât control his actions.â
She snickered at my comment and blew it off. And after taking a few steps back, she lifted her shirt over her head, exposing her breasts.
âBones, you have things so twisted. I thought you, of all people, would be able to recognize your haters. If you think Iâm one of them, youâre sadly mistaken. At the end of the day, Iâm on your side.â
I didnât know that we needed to pick and choose sides. But I did know that something with Alexis was starting to stink real bad. She pressed her perky breasts against me, and as she brought her glossy lips to mine, I turned my head and stood there like stone. Rejection didnât play well with her, so she snatched my face and tried to force her tongue into my mouth. My face twisted, and I shoved her away from me.
âBack the fuck up,â I said.
Her response was not anger, but persistence. She kept her eyes locked with mine as she paraded to the bedroom and stood by the bed. After dropping her jeans to the floor, she stood naked. Her near-perfect curves were a pretty sight to seeâI couldnât lie. And so was her shaved pussy, when she sat back on the bed and opened her legs. She lifted her finger, motioning for me to come to her.
âFive minutes, Bones. All I need is a measly five or ten minutes of satisfaction. I promise to make every minute worth it. Afterward, you can go play with your boys.â
I felt frozen in time. Couldnât help it that my eyes were glued to the prettiness of her pussy. Couldnât help that my dick was starting to rise, and I couldnât help that my anger and bad feelings about certain bitches was starting to grow.
âIâm disappointed,â I said in a calm manner, displaying much seriousness, but trying my best to fight this. âGo fuckââ
Alexis halted my words when she slipped her fingers deep into her pussy and began to toy with herself. Her fingers were covered with a light glaze, and as her folds moved in and out, I released a deep breath. I
