Trife Life To Lavish Part 2 Genesis & Genevieve...Am I My Brother's Keeper (17 page)

"Do you mean that?" Veronica asked without looking
up. Deep down she didn't want to make eye contact, in case
he was lying and the evidence was written on his face.

"Of course, or I wouldn't have said it," Arnez replied
as he gently stroked the side of Veronica's arm. "I never
believed it was possible to find a woman with all the
qualities I desired until meeting you." Arnez words were
sweet music to Veronica's ears. How sincere and genuine
Arnez sounded gave Veronica the confidence to make the
eye contact she was initially avoiding.

"Thank you for saying that, you have no idea how
much that means to me." And it did mean a lot to Veronica.
She had been in a relationship with another man for the
last year that seemed to be going nowhere. He had the
prerequisites that she was drawn to in a lover: emotionally
detached, married to the game of illegal activities and great
in bed. Veronica thought she had played her cards perfectly
with him, but he never wanted to take it to the next level.
He seemed more interested in picking her brilliant brain
for legal information than making a love connection. It was
to the point that Veronica no longer felt their relationship
was an even exchange. It was like she was simply being used
at his convenience. But the sex was great, although it had almost become obsolete. Before she was willing to take
what she could get because her attraction to him was so
powerful. But now that Arnez was on the scene the tides
had changed.

"Does that mean you would one day consider being
my wife?"

"Are you proposing to me?" Veronica couldn't contain
the smile that had taken over her face.

"I guess you can say that. I know that I want to marry
you, but before I go any further I want to know that you
would want to marry me too. You know I can be sensitive
and I don't want you to bruise my ego too much," he
grinned.

"You don't have to worry about that. Because when
you do decide to pop the question, you will no doubt get a
big yes from me."

"That's all I needed to hear," Arnez said, before locking
lips with Veronica and giving her another dick down that
was slowly turning her mind to mush.

"So you're going to stand there with a blank stare on
your face and not answer my question?" By the tone of
Akil's question it was evident he was losing his patience with
Nichelle. His boyish looking face seemed to be aging in less
than sixty seconds. And his slender build wasn't appearing
to be so nonthreatening anymore. Nichelle knew she had
to proceed with caution and choose her words wisely.

"Akil, I apologize for not getting in touch with you
sooner but I needed a break."

"A break! You call disappearing for two days a break!"
Akil yelled. He had never raised his voice to Nichelle and it
was starting to freak her out.

"Calm down. You're getting upset for nothing," she
said coolly, trying to downplay the severity of the situation.
"It wasn't a full two days, it was more like a day and a half."

"This is bullshit, Nichelle. I want to know what the
hell is going on with you."

"I told you, I needed time to myself. Everything is
moving so fast."

"Everything like what?"

"This modeling career."

"I thought this is what you wanted?"

"I do but..."

"But what? Tell me what is going on. I can't help you
if I don't know what is causing you to act like this."

"That's the thing. I don't want your help."

"Excuse me?" From the irritated expression on Akil's
face, Nichelle knew her choice of words were wrong.

"What I'm trying to say is that only time is going to
make this better, not you helping me. Do you understand?"

"No I don't. I believe you're bullshitting me and I don't
like it."

"I don't know what to say."

"How about starting with the truth. Who were you with?"

"I was by myself."

"Where did you go?"

"I told you already, I stayed in a hotel?"

"How did you get there?"

"I took a taxi... enough of this interrogation! I fucked up. I shouldn't have disappeared, but I asked you for time
alone and you wouldn't give it to me so I took it. Are you
satisfied," Nichelle belted. She walked towards the huge
window and stared outside. The view of Central Park gave
her a serene feeling that had been lacking in what felt like
forever. "I don' think I can do this anymore."

"I don't want to fight about this anymore either. You
answered my questions and I'll leave it at that."

"I'm not talking about us arguing."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"This modeling career. I don't think I can do it anymore.
It's just too much."

"What! You're about to have your big breakthrough,
what are you talking about?"

"Maybe I'm not ready for a big breakthrough or maybe
I don't want it. This life in front of a camera, I don't think
it's for me. I'm not cut out for it."

"Wait, back up. Where is all this coming from?"

"This argument got me thinking and this may not be
the right path for me."

"Nichelle, I pushed too hard and I apologize. I was
worried about you. It was only a few weeks ago that a man
tried to snatch you up in the middle of the street. I worry
about you."

"I understand but having my face plastered everywhere might make things worse."

"That's why you have security, so you can be protected."

"But I don't want to live my life like that, walking
around with security. I want to be free to do what I want to
do."

"Which is what?"

"I don't know, maybe go to college or get married and
be a wife and mother. All I know is that I want some peace
in my life."

"You're living in this beautiful loft overlooking Central
Park and you talk about wanting peace in your life. How
much more peaceful can things be for you."

"This isn't the life I want."

"Fine, Nichelle. I'm not going to try and change your
mind. I think you're a natural but if this isn't the career you
want then so be it. After you finish this perfume campaign
I won't get you any new work."

"I don't want to finish the perfume campaign. It's still
early, I'm sure T-Roc can find another girl."

"You signed a contract."

"I know, but I haven't spent any of the money yet. I'll
give it back."

"Okay, Nichelle, you're talking crazy. You can't do
this. Business isn't conducted in this manner. You have an
obligation to fulfill."

"I have other obligations I need to focus on right
now.

"Other obligations like what? What can be so important that you have to throw everything we've been building
away? Not only that but think about T-Roc and what he's
invested. He's already planning this huge party for you that's
happening in less than two weeks. You may not care about
your career but what about my reputation. While you're
running off trying to find peace, I still have to do business
with these people. So instead of just thinking about your self put me in the equation too."

"Fine! I'll finish this perfume campaign but after this I'm
focusing on what's important to me." For Nichelle, that was
finding her brother Genesis. After everything Renny revealed
to her, that was her number one priority. He was all the family
she had. Nichelle felt that with all the time it required to have a
successful modeling career, she rather put that energy towards
uniting with her brother. Of course Nichelle wasn't willing to
share that with Akil because then she would have to open the
door and reveal all her skeletons. But after her gig was up she
would walk away and not look back. Her focus would be on
finding Genesis.

Genesis woke up surrounded by the warm walls of
CoCo and it felt like home-comfortable and content.
Their relationship easily transitioned from friends to lovers
without any major collisions. Mainly because CoCo had
studied the dos and don'ts of Genesis so thoroughly she
was able to play her position to perfection.

One rule that was easy for CoCo to follow was Genesis' love for morning sex. With each thrust, CoCo wrapped
her thick thighs tighter around Genesis' back so his tool
could go deeper inside. His hands rested firmly on her ample ass, lifting it up, letting his dick get lost in her juices. "If
I had known you would feel this good, I would've never
waited this long," Genesis said, between strokes.

"That's okay, as long as you never make me wait again."
The seductive tone in CoCo's voice made Genesis swim
even deeper, hitting every spot. After each stroke CoCo began clenching her moist lips down on Genesis' manhood
causing him to reach an escalated eruption.

"Oh shiiiit," they both echoed simultaneously, reaching
their climax.

"You're incredible," Genesis finally said, after catching
his breath.

"So are you."

"Never did I think it could be this right between us.
Friendship, business and great sex, it's almost too perfect."

"No, it just means we're right for each other but I
always knew that."

"Did you now?"

"Yes, but I've been waiting for you to realize that."

"What if I told you I have?"

"I would say, don't play with me, Genesis, because you
know I'm in love with you."

"That's one thing I promise you, no games. I respect
you and our friendship way too much for that. My feelings
for you are real and I want to see how far we can go with
this."

"Are you talking about the possibility of a serious
relationship?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. At first I
wasn't sure that could be possible between us but I was
wrong. You've shown me that maybe we can have it all."

"Genesis, if you do decide to let our relationship go in
that direction, I'll do everything in my power to make sure
it's one decision you'll never regret."

"I believe you and that makes me want to step my
game up and please you and make you happy."

"Being with you does make me happy," CoCo smiled
and her entire face lit up. At that moment, Genesis saw
CoCo in an entirely different light. She appeared sweet and
vulnerable as if he needed to protect her. There was no
edge or toughness only a look of pure and honest love.

"Listen, there's a big party coming up that T-Roc is
throwing for the model of his new perfume line. I want you
to come, not as one of my business partners, or a friend but
as my date."

"Are you sure?"

"You know me well enough that I don't say or do
anything unless I'm sure."

"Genesis Taylor, I'm going to make you so happy,
you'll never want to leave me."

"No sense in waiting, let's start right now," Genesis
said before entering back inside of CoCo.

When Veronica got back home after spending the
weekend with Arnez, the first thing she wanted to do was
take a long hot bath. Arnez had worn her body out. His
sex drive was off the charts and keeping up with him was
proving to be harder work than any legal case she had ever
taken on.
