Extreme Measures

Zia

Me and Harlee stumbled into the James house laughing and giggling. The party definitely hit the spot. It was just what I needed. Ravon was somebody I could see myself kicking it with in the future. Imma just go with the the flow for now and feel him out.

Harlee on the other hand hooked up with Derek. She wasn't even as drunk as I thought she would be. She was sober enough to drive home. She was plotting on Derek's ass as soon as she saw him.

"Girl, his stroke game is on a hunnid muhfuckin thousand!" she exclaimed, rolling her eyes dramatically.

"You crazy," I replied, laughing loudly at her describing her rendezvous with my friend, "But we definitely gotta do this again. It's rare that I get along with bitches my first day meeting her!"

"Of course. You cool as shit too. I'm bout to take my ass home and go to sleep. I'll hit you up soon and we can make more plans," she gave me a hug and walked out the front door, closing it quietly.

I carefully and quietly tiptoed my way up the stairs until I heard someone cleared their throat making me flinch in fear, almost busting my ass.

I turned around to find Torrance staring back at me with anger written all over his face.

"Where you've been?" he asked in a low, but intimidating tone.

I rolled my eyes, "Out. Since when that is your business anyway?!"I scoffed in annoyance.

"When you come stumbling into my house in the middle of the night, it kinda is my business," he sneered.

I groaned and attempted to walk away. But as quickly as I was about to walk up the stairs, he was there behind me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back roughly in his reach.

"Get your fucking hands off of me! Stop acting like my man when your wife is upstairs!" I whispered loudly, snatching my arm back.

He took a deep breath, "Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to grab you, but you need to watch the company you keep!" he warned.

"Excuse me?! You make it clear everyday how you feel about me so the company I keep is none of your fucking business! I don't know how many times I gotta keep saying it!"

"Back up."

"Or what?" I smirked. "What, you can't take some challenging you, Torrance? You can't take someone in your face, up close and personal? All your weaknesses exposed and out in the open. It pisses you off, doesn't it?"

"You don't know me or anything about me," he dismissed me.

"I know that you're an emotionally detached grown ass man who's too afraid to face whatever is eating away at your fucked up ass mind so you treat the people in your life like shit and make them feel like they're beneath you to make yourself feel better about whatever shitty decisions you've made in your life."

"But I'm going to bed. Goodnight Mr. James," I smirked.

"I'm not done with you, Zia!"

"You're done when I say you're done. My pussy does not belong to you and it never will."

"Oh, but it does. The sooner you realize that, the easier it'll be for you."

I giggled, "I don't think my new man would approve of that, Torrance. Or your wife for that matter," I taunted with a smirk on my face.

"I didn't ask what you or this new nigga approved of. We're not done until I say we're done."

I rolled my eyes, growing tired of these empty threats.

"We'll see about that, Mr James. Goodnight."

"You can test me if you want to, Zia. Only if you're ready to finds out to those who cross me," he threatened.

I rolled my eyes and groaned in annoyance, "Oh, please stop with these empty ass threats. What are you gonna do? Kill me!" I taunted.

"Watch how you talk to me. I could fire you right now if I wanted to," he threatened.

"But you won't because you need me," I winked.

"What could I possibly need from you?" he spat, disgust dripped from his tone.

"I haven't quite figured that out yet and quite frankly I don't care to. I don't know what kinda of temporary gratification you're looking for fucking around with me, but i'm done! I'm not your fucking rag doll you can fuck on and toss in the corner when you're done!"

He grimaced, "Says who? Remember, i'm the man in charge. You are simply just a pawn in this little game I'm playing and soon you'll find out there's only one winner in the end and well... I don't lose."
