Look at him, she thought. Pathetic! Mmmm…that feels soooooooo good…He has the nerve to look at me the same way he did her no less than an hour ago…Yeah, right there, oh yeah…If he can get out of my bed after a night like we had last night, and then go take his other woman out, then there's nothing else I can do to keep him from straying again…I hate your fine ass with that damn ripped body. And ooooohhh, I'm going to miss this you babe. Uhhhhh, I'm coming… It's going to be hard to let go. By this time hot tears flowed freely down her face. She raged, cried and released all at the same time.
Pulling her sweaty, throbbing body from underneath Tyrese, Lela headed to the shower.
"Where are you going?"
"To take a shower. I've got to wash your funky sweat off me," she lied. The intoxicating aroma from his Dolce & Gabanna cologne could have lingered on her for a lifetime…before today.
Thirty minutes later, Lela emerged from the master bathroom with her terry robe tied snugly around her waist. She picked up the phone, dialed some numbers, and then sat down on the edge of the bed as she applied lotion to her legs.
"Hey. We still on for tonight?" Lela asked as she kept her sad, brown eyes affixed to Ty, who just knew he was the man-twentygrand after putting it down like a pro.
Lela wanted to make sure he knew he was still kicked to the curb, so she made sure he overheard her phone conversation loud and clear. "Tonya," Lela grinned, "I'm ready to get my party on and celebrate the fact that I'm a free woman."
Lela shot Tyrese a nasty look as she spoke to Tonya, while holding the phone to her ear with her shoulder and applying the lotion with her free hands. Her mood change caused him to look at her sideways.
Usually his lovemaking had Lela ready to cosign her name for anything he wanted or needed. So his pride made him clueless. He rolled out of bed and walked into the kitchen, never noticing that for the first time in the past week Lela's ring finger was bare.
Lela knew it was time to put the nail in the coffin when he strutted back in her bedroom with his chest stuck out like a man worth a million bucks. In three large gulps, he downed the bottle of water he got from the refrigerator, then claimed his spot in bed beside Lela and rubbed her thighs.
