Fallen by Quiana Read Free Book Online

quickly looked away with a grin. Seeing him grin that gap toothed grin resulted in the same reaction from me, we were like school kids.

    “How you doin Miss Ramae?”

    Kai cocked his head to the side like a little puppy. His almond shaped eyes and dark skin glowed in the dim lighting like a camp fire.
    The gesture was so adorable that al I could do was smile even bigger, and let out a little giggle. I walked over to him and grabbed the sides of his face with my right hand, “Better.”

    “I’m glad to hear that.”

    I closed the bathroom door and broke down with butterflies inside my stomach. This was the feeling I missed. I did what I had to do and began touching up my hair and makeup. I felt extremely confident and was ready to prance around my household as a pure tease. My hair stil looked great despite the Phily humidity, and my makeup was light and flawless. A few spra ys of the body spray that I kept under the bathroom sink, and I was ready to mingle with my young boo.

    Feeling sexy, I made my way out the door and to the top of the steps just to find Jay standing there drunk and sweaty. He staggered past me smeling like Bud Light and basketbal. I was instantly turned off by my husband’s appearance in his drunken state. At one point this may have excited me; seeing him drunk and sweaty. But right now compared to Kai, he looked like another drunken man outside the liquor store. Just as he was about to enter the bathroom he abruptly stopped and turned around. Jay’s devilish smirk made me feel uneasy, I truly didn’t know what to expect. His eyes squinted at me with a sharp stare which sent a rush through my body. Perhaps he overheard my flirting from the bottom of the steps, or even spotted the quick hand brush over Kai’s face. I wasn’t sure what his expression meant so I stood silent waiting for his next move on the defense.

    “I know what you’re doing.” He pointed to me with an accusing tone.

    I turned around as if to see if someone else was standing behind me. Establishing what I already knew, the upstairs was clear of any others, I scrunched up my face clueless of his game.

    “What are you talking about?”

    “Ramae I know what you’re doing. The makeup, the hair, smeling al good, I see everything.”

    I shook my head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    “Oh I think you do know.”

    I knew that I hadn’t outwardly done anything to make him suspicious. As long as he didn’t over hear or view my conversation, Kai was the least of my worries. So I walked over and gave him a kiss on his salty cheek and smiled.

    “I’m doing it al for you.”

    With that being said my husband finaly walked his drunk ass in the bathroom and I hurried down the stairs. I wanted to find my beau and continue the flirting game a little longer. Kai was sitting next to Jason with two other females at my kitchen table. The girls were obviously guest of theirs, which made me a little jealous. I could tel because they were too old to be any of Jalal’s classmates, but not old enough to be from our neighborhood.

    “Oh mom, this is Layla and Mimi.” Jason introduced me to the girls.

    “Hi” The girls sang in unison.

    “Hi” I said.

    Al I could do was stare Kai straight in the eye. My eyes were piercing right into the middle of Kai’s pupils. You’re going to bring another female into my house? My dark browns said what my mouth couldn’t. I don’t know why I was so upset and I knew it was inappropriate but it was a feeling I couldn’t help.

    “Mom, you good?” Jason asked.

    “Whew yes, just hot from the wine. ” I caught myself in front of my son. “I just need some air.” I said and walked out the room. I could feel eyes folowing me out the room and hoped that they were Kai’s and not those girls who were trying to play the nice girl role.

    Feeling so many mixed emotions I needed to take a seat and think about al the things that were going through my head. How could I be
