At Cafe Amore, the ladies were in a booth chatting amongst themselves.
Cafe Anore is a beautiful garden cafe in downtown Orlando. It's the only building on a small block with pink, blue and purple Rose's standing outside the entrance on both sides of the golden framed glass door with a gold handle. Inside was filled with many different flowers on each of the ten tables and ten booths, giving the scent of a garden when you walk in. On the roof was a garden set up with five additional tables. Anyone could go up there to get fresh air or to enjoy the flowers that were displayed. The owner loved Lilies, Tulips and Hydrangeas. It was beautiful.
Back to the women, shall we?!
They have ordered their food and were eating while they chatted.
"I heard you ran into Inu. She didn't say anything upsetting did she?" Mrs. Kim asked
"We exchanged belittling words and insults and evil eyes, but why did you guys hire that person?" Amari asked with clenched teeth o. the latter.
"That is not my place of business. I can't tell my husband who he should and shouldn't hire. I know that she has a crush on Dontae as she have for years. All I can do is talk to her and speak to her mother about her behavior."
"Ugh" Amari sighed " I won't attack unless I'm attacked. Luckily today she stood on her side of the line as did I, but won't make any promises once she decides to cross into my space again. Which I feel she's creeping into little by little. " She continued.
" Why are you bothered by her?" her mother asked. "You are a doctor, a Valdespee, my child. Don't be pulled into foolishness again. You are better than that. Act like you have the good sense God gave you cause if you don't, then I'm the one to pull you back and boo you upside your head." She continued.
"That's right. Let's talk about something more positive like the wedding!" Said Symone.
"No, the bachelorette party!" Marie chimed in "We got so many things planned!" she continued with an evil grin while folding her hands.
"Like what?" Mrs. Kim asked curiously.
" We can't tell you, it's a secret." Stmone laughed.
" Please don't go overboard. I'm my mommy's precious baby. I need to return home the same as I left." Amarie said with a soft, small voice. They all began to laugh.
" Precious baby! Please get started on that after the wedding. I want a basketball team of grandbabies!" said Mrs. Kim.
" Ah, that does sound nice. The pitter-patter of little feet. You know that your dad side of the family is very fertile?" her mom said " I'll be happy with one for now!' she continued.
" I do know that mom. I'm not ready for kids yet. I want to get established in my field for a few years and then I can think about giving you all grandchildren.'
" DON'T WAIT TOO LATE." the mothers yelled and they all started laughing.
This was a happy group of women. No matter what went on during the early hours in the morning, they brushed them aside to support Amari and Donte.
As the lunch ended the ladies started to go their separate ways.
"Bye mom! See you Saturday! Marie and Symone, see you guys Sunday! Mrs. Kim, can I bumb a ride home?"
"Why are you still calling Mrs. Kim? Call me mom chick. Were family, get in. You're headed to Dontae's right?"
"Yes ma'am "
-------------------------
In her Kia K900, Mrs. Kim had smooth jazz playing in the background.
" Do you guys have music picked for the first dance?"
"Yeah, we decided on a Tupac and Biggie mix. We're going to do some hip hop dances!"
In shock " WHAT?!" Mrs. Kim yelled
Amari broke out in a hysterical laugh " We picked Eric Benet and Tamia "Spend My Life" to dance to."
" Girlll, dont scare me. My heart almost came out of my chest." Mrs. Kim said while holding her heart.
" I can't help that you're so easy to tease." Amari said still laughing.
" I wanted to talk to you about Inu." Mrs. Kim calmed down and calmed her voice to its normal nature. " I know that you don't like her and she dont like you. She could be sneaky and I've witnessed it a few times as they were coming up. But please trust Dontae. I've never seen him so attentive and loving and caring to any of the girls he's dated in the past. He only have eyes for you and he treats you so good. He treats Inu as a friend and that's all he sees in her. He know that she's sneaky and calculating, but I trust that she wouldn't scheme against him."
" I trust him with my whole being, but her, I can't trust her. I don't care that they've known each other since high school. Something about her make my antenna go up and red flags appear. You know what she tried to do last time. And that's why I always have to be on guard when I'm one hundred feet near her. I don't trust this person." She said with clenched teeth on the last sentence.
" Well, you guys are going to have to come to a truce. Both of you care about Dontae, but only you will be the wife. Try to get along. I know that she has done a lot of evil things to you in the past, but forgive her and move on happily with Dontae."
" I'll do my best." Amari rolled her eyes and sighed.
" Great! At the Employee and Shareholders ball, I'll arrange a space for you two to talk out your differences. Nip it in the bud and move on happily, please?"
" Okayyy! But as I said at the restaurant, I will not attack as long as I'm not attacked." She said with a deep seriousness in her eyes.
" Good! You're home. Be a good girl and tell my baby to call me! Bye!"
"Bye!" Amari waved as she closed the door and Mrs. Kim drove off.
The smell of Cuban beans and rice filled the home of Dontae. Amari was just taking the baked chicken out of the oven.
Dontae walked in the apartment with red puffy eyes. Beat from back to back meetings. He can finally kick his shoes off and loosen his tie and throw it across the living room.
" Babe, in home!" as he entered the kitchen. He hugged Amari from the back as she was holding the pan of hot chicken.
The smell of black orchid and juniper oil filled his nose as he sniffed her hair. The smell burned into his memory of her. He lived her scent. He would kill to smell this fragrance on her forever if he could.
He began to kiss her neck and caress her shoulders.
" TAE" she said with a loud moan. " Taaaaae, please stop." she continued to moan as her eyes rolled in the back of her head as he started kissing her ears. The hot breath on the nape of her neck sent electric shock through her spin and she almost dripped the pan of hot chicken. " I have hot chicken in my hands and I don't want to drop it." she continued and she felt her hands getting weak.
He released her with a grin " Okay, but later on it's on!" he continued showing his Colgate smile. " So how was the dress fitting? Is everything good.?" he asked as he helped her take the food to the table
" Yeah! It's just the dress was a little too tight around my waist. I asked if they could let it out a few inches. I need it to be perfect." She said she placed the chicken on the table.
" Why is it tight? It's not like your appetite changed. Your metabolism is super high, I've seen you eat and you can eat a lot."
" Well, maybe it's starting to slow down a little. Maybe I shouldn't eat so much until after the wedding."
" Yeah, okay." he said sarcastically. " When that happens pigs, clowns, hippos and whales will fly." he laughed.
" Yeah, whatever" she said in a goofy voice " You like it, you want it" she continued
" All I know is that me and my boys are ready! The dance competition is on and we're going to see who's going to win. Either my boy, Biggie or Tupac. So don't half step girl. Don't get mad when we whip y'all butts." he said with a sly grin, a wink and nodding his head.
" You like to brag don't you? Those who like to brag and talk smack get their butts beat. Remember that Mr. Kim!" she said as she pound her fist into hand and placing her right hand to her right eye, suggesting a black eye.
" Food smells good. I'm hungry, let's eat."
They say down to enjoy their meal.
-----------------------------
Later on that evening in their bedroom. They were getting ready for bed. Dontae has just got out of the shower and was drying off. Amari was putting lotion on her hands. He was getting ready to get into the bed to indicate that he was ready to take her, but she wanted to talk about the Inu situation.
"Tae, before we get into the goodness that you bring, I want to talk about that friend-person of yours. I know that you and Inu have been friends for many moons and I have nothing against that. But I don't trust her. Remember she tried to spread rumors that I was a gold digger? And how she so tried to poison me until your mother stepped in and took the drink out of my hand?" she was speaking calmly with her eyes closed but you could hear the hurt and tears in her voice.
" We don't know if it was poison." he replied while kissing her left shoulder.
" Dontae, I had it analyzed and tested. it was ecstasy in the drink babe. She obviously had someone waiting somewhere for me. She tried to kill me, why don't you believe me?" she opened her eyes as she pushed him away from her in a fit of anger. But she still spoke in a calm voice. " Whatever, you don't have to believe me. What about the time she tried to make me fall down the stairs in your office building? Luckily I caught myself, but that's beside the point of me bringing her up. For the wedding day. Just for one day, I want peace. Please talk to your friend-person and tell her to behave for just that one day. Please?" she continued
" I will get her to leave you alone for good, but trust me, Inu is not evil. She would never harm anyone. She's just misunderstood."
" Dontae, I'm your woman not her. Defend me not her. You know what forget it. There's no point of me talking to you when you have blinders on. Don't touch me. I'm going to bed. she said angrily.
" Okay. I'll go to bed in a little bit. I have messages to check and reply to. Good night and see you in the morning my shinning star. I love you!" he said as he tried to touch and kiss her shoulder again, but got pushed away.
As he was in the living room checking his messages, he came across Inu's message.
Inu the friendly ghost: Good night sexy thang, lover boy, boyfriend. Get enough sleep. We have three meeting in the morning. So look all sexy for me and these other b**ches Be eye candy for the day. Dru Firm has a lady rep coming to view the contract for the Philder building project. If you succeed I'll give you a blow job..... JK. I'll give a blow pop lollipop. But seriously, doll it up.
' Does she have a crush on me? Cause... nah, she doesn't. She's just kidding' he thought.
Inu is sneaky, but he doesn't see it.
