Victoria Secrets and it was priced at seventy-nine dollars. She couldn’t believe it. It was so pretty and nothing like what she normally wore to bed. She put it on and it fit just right. What a blessed coincidence.
She looked in the full-bodied mirror and removed the shower cap. Her hair fell on her shoulders. She couldn’t believe her hair was this length, because it was always packed to her head and pulled back into a little ponytail. Who would have known that a relaxer could work such magic? She smiled and ran her comb through it. It looked as if she had pretty hair all along. She couldn’t stop playing in it. After pinning and pulling it up and back, she decided to leave her hair alone and put some lotion on.
As she rubbed lotion on her legs, she thought about Joan’s conversation with her. Joan told her that if she didn’t love herself, then who would? She couldn’t expect Jay to fall in love with her if she couldn’t love herself.
She knew things had to change in her life, and one main thing was letting Gwen go. It wasn’t hard to do, but she didn’t want to hurt Anton any more than he’d already been hurt. He still loved Gwen unconditionally, and she had to make him realize that Gwen was holding them back from being the people they really had the potential to be. They were good people, unlike Gwen, and she had to make him realize that putting her out would start be a new beginning for them.
Her mind was dancing from the high she felt, and all she wanted was to feel Jay’s body against hers. She didn’t care about Sheila right then, because Sheila didn’t care about her. Plus, she felt that she was messing around with Jay first, so she shouldn’t feel bad about continuing to sleep with him.
Scarlett heard a knock at the door. She danced all the way to it, because she knew it was Jay.
“Who is it?”
“Girl, open this door.” She loved the sound of Jay’s voice. It always made her tingle inside. She opened the door and smiled. Jay was shocked at her appearance. She looked good enough to eat.
“Damn, Scarlett.” He was surprised as hell. “You look good.” He said standing in the hallway. “Aren’t you gonna invite me in?”
“Yeah, I’m sorry.” She was stuck looking at how good he looked in his civilian clothes. “Come on in.” Jay walked in and admired Scarlett’s new look. He was truly amazed at how lengthy and pretty her hair was. Scarlett sat on the bed and Jay sat down beside her.
“You can take the woman out of the hood, but you can’t take the hood out of the woman.” He laughed and picked up her MD 20/20. He screwed off the top and turned it up. “This shit ain’t bad,” he said. She was tickled at him. He gently grabbed her face and looked into her eyes. He knew they were pretty, but not this pretty. She stared back at him.
The silence in the room could cut the air. He leaned in and kissed her. She was totally caught off guard, because he never put his lips on hers. They’d come face to face a few times, sharing a laugh, or breathing from extreme sex, but never had they actually kissed.
Jay’s breath was sweet, and had a hint of MD 20/20. Scarlett loved it. Her lips were as soft as they looked and Jay stuck his tongue in her mouth and slow danced with hers. They were lost in their passionate kiss, which lasted for minutes before they came up for air. Jay was aroused by what he saw in Scarlett. It was like she had a new attitude that went great with her new look.
Jay felt between her legs and she was moist. He was already hard from kissing her. He pushed her back on the bed and kissed around her thighs. Scarlett enjoyed the moment, because Jay never did any of the things that he was doing to her now. He would only come over and talk for a while followed by getting his dick sucked and beating that pussy from the front, back, and side to side.
“Damn, Scarlett you smell good.”
It must be that Honey Suckle bubble bath and the lotion, she
