Sleep my love
Don’t you worry
You just sleep my love
And I’ll stroke your hair
Oh the sunlight on your face
As the day begins to break
When you wake
And your smile meets mine ah
My day begins
You’re my inspiration
Seeing your face glow
Is the nicest of hellos
Taurus
Taurus sighed as she put the pen down and looked over at Chris laying in the bed. She barely remembered getting home last night. After fucking Chris in the bathroom and realizing that Mijo knew all about it, she kept hitting the blunt just to forget about how screwed they were. It all got blurry after that, she woke up about an hour ago, still wearing the blue bandage dress. Chris was sleeping next to her, wearing a white tank and boxers. She sighed with relief, well at least they didnt have sex again but at this rate it didnt matter. They were already in too deep.
Especially her.
She had gotten up and tip toed to the bathroom and closed the door. She stripped out of the dress and practically threw it across the bathroom. Fucking dress, its like it put a hex on her and Chris. She noticed his stares when she wore it. How his eyes traveled her body. And that look put another hex on her, making her do anything he wanted, like fucking in a bathroom.
Thats something to cross off her bucket list.
She shook her head at the dress and turned on the shower. She was the devil in a blue dress last night and she felt like she had to bathe in holy water, cleanse herself of her sins.
And to open her pores, she was so hungover. Her body ached from the rough lovemaking and she glanced in the mirror and saw several bruise marks on her back and one on her hip and ass. What the fuck did he do to her? She stared at her love scars in shock until the steam covered the mirror, as if to say, get over it and get in the fucking shower girl. So she did. She didnt know how long she was in the shower. How long did it take to wash the whore off of you? To wash the adultery off of her? She wasnt married but Chris basically was. How long would it take her to be sober? Sober from the drinks? From the smoke? From his love?
She’ll never know. But she stayed in long enough to wash and condition her hair and wash herself until her fingers were beyond pruned. She brushed through her hair and dried it as much as she could, put product in it and threw it up into a messy bun. She wrapped the thick robe around herself and brushed her teeth and drank a glass of water. She felt a little better. She opened the door slowly and walked out, leaving the blue dress on the floor. The sun was still rising, she paused as she watched him sleep. He looked so peaceful. She sat down in the chair next to the window and set the glass of water on the windowsill. She picked up her purse and took out a worn notepad and started to write as she tucked her legs underneath herself. She smiled as she wrote this poem. Not knowing what she wanted to call it just yet, she smiled as she read it over and over, glancing up every now and then to look at the object she was writing about, the object of her affection.
Chris.
He sighed in his sleep and stretched a little as he rolled over and then she heard a buzzing noise. She saw her phone, though it was attached to the charger, was on the floor and it buzzed against the white plush carpet. She got up and picked it up and said,”Hello?” softly without checking who it was.
And she wished she did because all she heard was screeching. If there was any ounce of a high or drunk feeling, it was gone now.
It was Karrueche and she was pissed. But about what? She didnt know, she could barely make out what she was saying because she was screeching so loud. She thought a few times there, she was actually yelling in Vietnamese too but she couldnt really tell. Her voice sounded like nails dragging across a chalkboard and just the visual made her cringe. She wanted to hang up. But then she thought, did she know? About them? That he had slept next to her last night as well as fucked her twice in the past 2 days?
Karrueche
"TAURUS? TAURUS ARE YOU THERE?"
"Im here Karrueche"she said softly
"What was he thinking? Were you with him when he went and did something as idiotic as this?!"she screeched. Taurus wanted to ask what she was referring to,"Its like he doesnt listen to me. Its like he doesnt care what I think. Its worse than that song he recorded with Nicki Minaj! The first line of the song is ‘lemme put your panties to the side’. Are you kidding me?! He sounds like a friggin’ man whore. A player. And he is getting married in 7 months and he doesn’t need to put his reputation back in that hole, oh no sir!"she said. "And not only that, he performed it? In some nightclub? With his shirt off, who does he think he is? Tupac?!"she said. Taurus didnt say a word. What could she say? "Where is he?!"
"He’s sleeping, Karrueche. It’s a little past 6:30 in the morning here"
"And its a little past 9:30 here and Im just getting to the office and this is what I hear about!? My fiance running amuck the second he touches down in LA!? Wake him"
"Karrueche-"
"WAKE HIM TAURUS!!!!"
"Ok hold on"she said and put her phone on mute. She sighed as she looked at Chris’s sleeping peaceful face. She was surprised that he didnt hear her yelling through the phone. She stared at him for a few seconds. Relishing in his peace with him because it was about to crumble now and she was saddened that she had to be the one to do it. She walked over to his side of the bed and shook him gently. "Chris"she said softly. He barely stirred,"Chris?"she said sternly and he slowly blinked his eyes open
Chris
"Hey Taurie"he smirked as his eyes closed again,"Its early come back to bed"he said
She gasped and checked to see if her phone was still on mute and it was. She sighed,”Its Karrueche”
His eyes shot open. “Shes not here is she?”
"What? No. She’ll just sound like she’s here…."she said as she gestured to her phone,"…shes upset and she wanted me to wake you. Im sorry-"
He groaned as he rubbed his eyes, not wanting to deal with this so early. But he had to because they could hear Karrueche asking Taurus where she went and what was taking so long. “Fine give me the fucking phone”he said, not looking at her as he sat up in bed and held his hand out to her as he stifled a yawn.
"Im sorry"she said as she handed it to him. "Its on mute"she said and he nodded. She figured she would give him some privacy and walked out, she barely made it to the top of the staircase when she heard Chris’s groaning through her door. She walked downstairs to the kitchen and decided to make coffee, or maybe some breakfast too.
Who knew how long Karrueche would ream him out.
"Morning Taurus"Vivian said and Taurus jumped out of her skin. "Sorry didnt mean to scare you"she said with a chuckle
"Sorry I didnt see you there"Taurus said as she tried to catch her breath
"You’re up early. You two were out late last night"
"Not that late…"Taurus said as innocently as she could
"Well true. Late enough for me I guess. I left here a little before midnight last night and you two still weren’t back. Its been years since I’ve been out that long"
"Me too"Taurus said, and she could feel it in every bone in her body still.
"You dont look it. You look very refreshed actually"Vivian said
"Thanks"Taurus said with a blush
"Boss man still asleep?"
"No, ugh, hes on the phone with Karrueche"she said but as she said that, they heard Chris’s voice get louder as he walked down the hall to his room. Taurus froze.
"Sounds like a happy conversation"Vivian said,"Its been awhile since Ive heard those two argue. They barely come back to LA anymore"she said and Taurus nodded. "Is it about that song?"
"Yeah"Taurus said, surprised that she had heard it already
"I like it. They played it on the radio twice on my way over here. People cant stop talking about it"
"Yeah so you’d think she’d just congratulate him on a job well done"Taurus said out loud and Vivian looked at her. "Oh God. I shouldnt have said that out loud"
"No, you were saying what I was thinking"Vivian said,"But that’s not how Karrueche is wired. Ever since his legal issues a couple years back, she has made it her mission to get him back on track. Keep him off the drugs, away from the parties and the groupies and the alcohol and she feels they all had one medium in common. His music"
"Yeah"Taurus said and sadly, Karrueche was right. Taurus was only in the studio for one day and she had more weed, alcohol and sex than she has had in years. She wondered if she was being too hard on Karrueche. Maybe she had the tendency to come off so bitchy that when she truly tried to take care of someone, it seemed she was just trying to control their life. It made Taurus feel guilty. She sent her here to keep him on track. Her love for him made her soft. She was letting him fall off the wagon, ruining Karrueche’s mission. What kind of person was she?
"But, and you didnt hear this from me, if she feels she has to turn him into some Armani suit wearing businessman than maybe she should be marrying someone else. That’s not who Chris is"Vivian said
Taurus looked at her and nodded. Vivian was right too. Karrueche was too controlling. She was taking it too far and trying to turn Chris into something he wasnt, not only to protect his reputation. He didnt really have one anymore. He wasnt the superstar he used to be now that he was behind the scenes. Karrueche was in the spotlight now. She was the supposed It Girl. It was more about protecting her own reputation. Yeah, what Taurus was doing with Chris was wrong, but at least she was letting Chris be himself. And for a minute there last night, she felt more like herself than she has in a long time.
"Dont tell anyone I said that"Vivian said
"Your secret’s safe with me. Besides, I agree. You’re right"Taurus said and Vivian gave her a surprised smile. Taurus was different from the other assistants because she actually shared the same opinions as her. The others all were Karrueche clones, saying and thinking and doing everything she did.
"Well they could argue for hours. Im gonna make Chris’s special breakfast"
"Special breakfast? Im intrigued"
"Whenever he and Karrueche fight, his appetite gets so huge. When they used to live here and he was on house arrest and they would argue before Karrueche went to work, I would make him a big breakfast to calm him down. It always works. His special breakfast"
"I bet he’ll love that"Taurus said,"Can I partake too?"
"Of course. You work for Karrueche. You had to catch some of that flack up there"
"I did. Its too early for that shit"Taurus said with a shake of her head and Vivian laughed. "Im gonna get dressed and come back down and help out if thats ok?"
"Sure"Vivian said and winked at her as she handed her a mug. "His frappachino"
"Bless you"Taurus said to her and walked upstairs. She padded down the hallway and knocked softly on the master bedroom door and peeked in. Chris was pacing quickly back and forth as he smoked a cigarette, Karrueche was still screeching in his ear and he looked like he was in complete misery. He looked to her and she gestured to the mug. He walked over to her and took it and set it down on the desk without even sipping it and closed the door without even saying thank you. She sighed and shook that off. He only had a few hours of sleep and now he had to wake up to this. She decided to hurry and get dressed. He would need his special breakfast quick and if two people helped make it, it would be done quicker.
She looked through her shopping bags trying to find something suitable to wear. No dresses preferably. None that made her feel like the friggin’ devil.
She sighed, wishing the airline would find her bags already. She thought that the clothes Danyel picked out were bad. They were slightly more conservative than Chris’s taste. “Thats too short”she said with a sigh. Chris thought he was slick, buying her all this sexy shit. She put on a thong and a bra and decided to wear a sheer white button down blouse and some boyfriend jeans. She put on some gold chains and some lipbalm when her door opened. She turned to see Chris standing there, looking miserable as he held up her phone. “Hey”she said softly
"Who’s Jason?"he asked her
She blinked in surprise. Jason? She forgot about him. Sadly. “Uh…wh….why you ask?”she asked as he walked in and closed the door behind him
"Cuz as I was trying to get Kae’s ass off the phone, a notification comes up"he says as he presses the power button, reading the message on the home screen. "Hope you’re having a great time in Cali & hope we are still on for dinner on Sunday. I was thinking Tao’s downtown"he read. "Tao is pretty fancy"he added as he looked at her
She walked up to him and took her phone from him and there it was. “Yeah so?”she asked as she put her phone back on her charger, her back still turned to him
"So…who is he?"
"Hes just a friend"she said
"Just a friend?"he asked her, she looked at him because his tone sounded like he didnt believe her and when she looked at him, his face didnt either.
"Yes, just a friend. Friends go out to eat together"
"Friends eat lunch together. Brunch even. Go out for drinks maybe. But not dinner"
"Tuh"she said as she crossed her arms,"Oh you’re an expert on friendships now?"she asked him
"Im an expert on how guys think"he said,"Dinner is a date. You going out on a date with this Jason guy?"
"Its only the second date…"she said with a shrug
"Oh so you’re dating this nigga?"
"Im not dating him. We went on one blind date and now-"
"And that was so good that he wants to go out with you again"he said to her
She looked at him,”Wow. Are you that surprised that someone would want to go out to eat with me again? What? Im such a bore? A horrible person?”
"You know thats not what I meant-"
"Oh you didnt mean it that way huh? Then how did you mean it? And why do you care anyway?"she asked him as she walked into the bathroom. He sighed and rubbed his hands up and down his face as he counted to 10. Just because Kae got him riled up, didnt mean that he needed to take it out on Taurie.
"Im sorry. Thats not what I meant Taurie and you know it"he said as he leaned in the doorway. "Im not surprised that this Jason guy would want to see you again"
"Good because when we get back, hes taking me to dinner. As a friend"she said but she wondered if Jason was thinking like that. Maybe she shouldnt go, this thing with Chris didnt go at all like she planned. She had no feelings for Jason now. She had really forgotten about him. He hasnt been on her mind at all. "Im single you know"she said,"Im a free agent. I can go out with whomever I want"she said, though she knew deep down she belonged to him. But she couldnt let him know that…
"I know"he said sadly as he looked at the floor, shoving his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants. She heard the sadness in his voice and looked at him through the mirror. He then noticed the dress she wore last night was on the floor and picked it up. "Hey take care of this dress. It cost me a lot of money-"
"Im returning it. Im not wearing it again"she said as she put on some facial moisturizer
"Why not? It was hot"
"It also smells like weed and Henny and…."she said and then stopped
"Sex?"he asked her with a grin
She blushed,”Im returning it”she said as she let her hair down out of the messy bun. It was still damp and she reached for another towel.
"Looks like you’re gonna have to keep it"he said and then he was hit by her smell. The familiar smell of her shampoo.
"Why cuz you say so?"she asked with a chuckle and a shake of her head as she blotted her damp hair with the towel
He smirked and came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She paused as she could feel his body against hers. She looked at him in the mirror, his face buried into her damp hair, inhaling her scent. The scent he has grown to love. They stood there in silence. Taurus bit her lip, feeling safe and wanted in his arms. He finally came back to Earth, the aromatherapy worked and he said,”Because the tag’s gone” He smiled, remembering how he pulled the tag off last night.
"What?"Taurus asked, forgetting what they had been talking about
"The tag…"he said as he bent down and kissed her hair,"…on that blue dress…."he continued as he kissed the back of her neck,"….has no tag on it…."he said as he reached around and unbuttoned the top button of her blouse
"Chris stop"she said as she turned around to face him. He ignored her and swiftly unbuttoned the next button, smiling when he saw her breasts sitting in a black bra. "Stop it you…."she said with a blush as she swatted him as she snatched the dress from him and inspected it and he was right. There was no tag. "Fuck"
"What’s so wrong with that dress now? You loved it when you tried it on in the store"he said with a smirk
"It needs to be cleaned….in holy water"
"You’re a prude"he said,"Well not with that dress on anyway"he said as he walked up to her, biting his lip
"Chris…"she said in a warning tone, seeing the look in his eye. He ignored her and kissed her. She tried to pull away but she couldnt. She hated what he did to her, but she loved it too. The dress soon slipped out of her hands as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him close to her. Soon he went back to unbuttoning the rest of her shirt, he kissed her neck and down to her breasts sitting high in her black bra as he reached behind her back and unclasped it. She bit her lip, suppressing a moan but another sound came out that couldnt be hidden. His stomach was growling. "Someone’s hungry"she said with a laugh
"You bet I am"he said as he slipped her blouse off and the bra. "I can have breakfast now"he said as he got on his knees
She looked down at him and smirked,”Dont get too full. Dont wanna spoil your appetite”she said as she leaned against the closed door as he kissed down her stomach and unbuttoned her jeans. “Viv is cooking her special breakfast for you”
He stopped,”Word?”
"Yeah"she said as she nodded. He looked at her and smirked and then got up. He picked her up and set her down on the sink. "Again? I have bruises from last night"
"I got blue balls last night"he said and then smirked as he backed away and walked out of the bathroom.
"What? Where are you going?"she hissed and he stopped.
"Now you know how it feels to be left hanging. Besides, my breakfast is waiting"
"Um I didnt leave you hanging last night. You got it all from what I remember"she said with an attitude as she put on her bra
"Yeah at the club but you felt me up in the car, kept telling me how you wanted to fuck me in me and Karrueche’s bed-"
"NO I didnt!"Taurus gasped out
"But then you changed your mind so I brought you in here. I went in the bathroom to take a quick piss and when I came out, ready to fuck you, you were passed out. Blue balls Taurie. Blue balls"he said and walked out, leaving her there in shock.
She couldnt have said those things? Right? She shook her head as she put her shirt back on and buttoned it up. She finished putting on her makeup so it gave her time to calm down from Chris basically attacking her here in the bathroom. When she was done, she picked up the blue dress and shook her head and threw it on the bed. “Bad dress”she said and smirked thinking how Chris’s sexual frustration matched the color of it.

When Taureans do eventually have to express anger, it can be devastating and is so disturbing to themselves that it takes a while for them to recover both their composure and their self-esteem.

Vivian’s special breakfast was special indeed. It included a rainbow platter of Chris’s favorite fruits. Raspberries, strawberries, tangerines, mangoes, pineapples, green grapes, blueberries, red seedless grapes and bananas. She also made the best French toast Taurus has ever tasted and scrambled eggs with orange juice. Vivian and Taurus soon set Chris’s mind at ease as they talked about how great ‘Show Me’ was. He just wished that his fiance felt the same way. Why she didnt want him to pursue his dreams again was beyond him, especially when she promised that she would work on her temper and her control issues. He understood it was baby steps but she was never like this before. It seemed like an overnight transition from the sweet girl she used to be to this stone cold bitch she was now. A small part of him missed the sweet girl and wondered what he could do to bring her back. But another part of him, which has gotten bigger every day, was saying he had a sweeter girl right in front of him.
Taurie.
He smiled at her as she laughed with Vivian. She picked up the ketchup bottle and poured a small dollop next to her scrambled eggs as Vivian called her crazy. Who put ketchup on their eggs? Apparently Taurie did. He indulged her and tried it. He actually liked it. Anything she did, he liked. It scared him but it turned him on even more.
What would life be like if he met Taurie instead of Karrueche? Would he be happier? Would he be as successful? He couldnt lie, he was making more money on the business side than he ever did when he was just an artist. But at times he wasnt so happy. The business side of things, no matter how big the checks were, reminded him that money wasnt everything. He loved material things. Dont get him wrong. But the penthouses and the mansions didnt mean anything if he couldnt use the recording studios he built inside of them. The most favorite rooms in any of his homes.
His phone buzzed and he glanced at it and then when he saw who it was, his heartbeat skipped a little.
Robyn: heard your new song, im in love with it. kudos
Chris: thanks
Robyn: when will you be back in ny? or do i need to fly out to cali?
Chris: ill be back sunday
Robyn: can i steal you for a day?
Chris: i’ll let you know. fiance will be on my case as soon as i land
Robyn: no comment
actually I will comment
be careful what you wish for
Chris: girl bye
Robyn: you mad cuz im right
Chris shook his head and deleted the messages immediately but they always stuck in his brain. Robyn was right. A few years ago, Karrueche was what he wanted. It broke Robyn’s heart to hear it but it was the God honest truth. Karrueche was simple then though. Different. Sweet. She was always there for him. Robyn wasn’t. She was always in a different country. Her last World Tour really put things into perspective. Robyn didnt see it this way but he let her go because she didnt need to slow down for him. She was taking over the world with her music. Literally. She had fans all over and she deserved to please them. She loved performing but he couldnt do it with her. And he couldnt ask her to give it up. He told her she couldnt be truly his, if she belonged to everyone else. She belonged to her fans. Not him. And thats not what he needed then. He needed more than Facetime or a phone call or phone sex. He needed a hand to hold, someone to hold, someone to be there in court with him, to tell him everything was going to be ok. He needed her there more than in spirit. He needed her there. And she tried. But it just wasnt enough for him. And that broke her heart even more. He hoped she was happy now. He always thought about her. He would always love her. Karrueche thought she won when that all went down. And she kinda did. But now she was turning into Robyn. She wasnt World Dominating at all. But her name was out there now, everyone talked about her more than they did him. But slowly and surely, she was starting not to have as much time for him either. She at least came home at night and she did work down the street but sometimes it felt like she was a thousand miles away.
Going back to New York on Sunday was something he was starting to dread. Karrueche wanted to ream him for his music. Robyn had some big mystery to talk to him about and though Taurie didnt say it verbatim, he knew what she was thinking. ‘What about us?’
And he didnt have all the answers yet.
Which one should he deal with first?
Damn did he have to deal with all of this now? He really just wanted to enjoy this time he had with Taurie, cuz he felt he will never get to experience this closeness and being so free with her again.
"Chris? Chris? You ok?"Taurie asked him, noticing his smile had faded once again. He seemed very deep in thought. He was probably still upset about his fight with Karrueche.
"Yeah, let me get to my next meeting"he said as he looked at his watch and ate the last few pieces of sliced bananas off his plate.
"Thank you for my special breakfast, Viv. I may need to fly you out to New York. I miss this"
"Hell no. I hate New York, so suck it up and come back every once in awhile"Vivian said and he smiled. That was her answer everytime. "Im going to the grocery store. Any special requests?"she asked them. Taurie shook her head and looked at Chris. He shook his head too as he reached into his pocket for his cigarettes.
"Ugh on second thought, get me some Marlboro’s"he said as he tossed the empty pack in the trashcan as he put the loosey behind his ear
"Christopher, what happened to you quitting?"Vivian asked him
"Plans changed"he said with a scowl. She sounded just like Kae.
"Alright I’ll get some. Have fun at your meeting. I’ll be making some of my best soul food in case you guys do come back in time for dinner. Leftovers are still in the fridge too"
"I’ll eat that for lunch"Chris said and Taurie shook her head. Soon Vivian left and Taurie and Chris sat in silence.
"Chris, is this meeting an actual meeting or a cover?"
"A cover"he said with a smile and she shook her head. He got up and reached his hand out to her. "Come on, I wanna show you something"he said to her with a smirk
Taurus paused and then held out her hand to him and got up out of the chair. He led her out of the kitchen and into the living room. “You know, you still havent given me the full tour of this place. Ive only seen my guest room, bathroom and the kitchen. Now the living room. You hiding something from me?”she asked him
"Nah. Got nothing to hide from you. Besides, the past two days we been having fun"he said and she nodded. He opened a door and the staircase led down to his studio. It looked just like the one in his New York penthouse, black light posters everywhere, a lot of places to get comfortable and sit.
"Another recording studio"she said with a smile. "Nice"she said as she sat down next to him in front of the mixing board. "There are so many buttons, how do you know which is which?"
"Man, Ive been in studios all my life. Im just used to it I guess"he said as he lit up his cigarette. "I want you to hear something"he said as he opened up the laptop and started typing and clicking on the keyboard. She waited and then the room filled with music. And then his voice. The song had an old school feel to it. It reminded her of Michael Jackson and she smiled as she closed her eyes and let it all sink in. She leaned back in the chair as Chris rested on his arms on the mixing board and nodded his head along, adjusting the levels on the board.
Took me awhile to find your love
Ain’t no amount of time in this world
Give me a lot of time and just love me
Daily baby, daily in your soul
Are you ready?
I know your heart been telling you, you been wrong for me
But I’m not, noo
It’s alright, I’m not dangerous
When you’re mine, I’ll be generous
You’re irreplaceable, a collectible
Just like fine China
He watched her as he listened. She had a huge smile on her face and nodded her head along and by the end of the song she basically knew the chorus and mouthed the words. When the song ended, she opened her eyes and realized he had been staring at her. She blushed. “You like it?”he asked her
"I like it"she said. "Its….I cant explain it but I like it. I love it. This can be another hit for you"she said
"Yeah?"
"Yeah definitely. And its very different from the songs you recorded yesterday. I like it a lot better than those. Very MJ, its very….you"she said
He smiled,”Im glad you like it”he said, his heart warming at what she thought about it. “Its very important that you do”
"Its very important that I liked it?"she asked. "Why? Im no music executive. I know nothing about this stuff"
"Its not about that, its about the fact that I…that I wrote it for you"he said honestly
Taurie’s smile disappeared and her eyes got wide. “Um…what?”she asked and then chuckled nervously. “Im sorry?”she asked him. Did she hear him right?
"I wrote this song for you. Its about you. Its called Fine China"
"I figured"she said,"That um…it was called Fine China because you kept saying it"she said,"Not that it was about me….you’re kidding right?"
"Im not kidding. While I was writing it, all I could think about was you"
Taurie refused to believe that a potential number one hit song, a song so beautiful could be about little old her. “Yeah? Ok when did you write it?”
"The night after you came to my office. The night….we broke the china"he said without hesitation
Taurus gasped and then laughed,”Hence the china reference?”she asked and he nodded. “Chris….”
"What?"
"You cant be writing songs about me"
"Too late. Here’s another one"he said as clicked a few keys and pressed play. "This is called ‘Dont Think They Know‘“he said over the music as it filled the room once more. Taurus felt herself getting claustrophobic. The room started getting small, why was he writing songs about her when he was getting married to someone else? Did he want Karrueche to find out? Chris didnt notice her fear, her hesitation and sang along as he took her hand and held it in his.
Taurus listened as Aaliyah’s voice came through the speakers and Chris had also sampled Jon B. One of her favorite songs. He held her hand tighter and then grabbed the sides of the chair and wheeled it closer to him as he sang to her.
At my best you love me
They don’t know about us, they don’t know about it
Even though I act my worse
They don’t know about us, they don’t know about it
And I know that it’s different, feels like we’re best friends
We connected
They don’t know about us, they don’t know about it
What did I do to deserve you?
Taurus smiled and laughed at how he serenaded her with a big smile on his face. He held her hand and reached over and caressed her face with the other. It was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done and she didnt expect it to be from him. She was smiling so wide by the end of the song that her face hurt.
"You like that one?"
"I do. I love it…"
"Its got a 90s vibe. You love the 90s. Just like MJ’s sound is ‘so me’. Every 90s song is ‘so you’. Its like…an ode to you"he said. "I wrote this after the party. Seeing you in that Aaliyah outfit, looking perfect"he said as he bit his lip
"Karrueche was dressed as her too. Sure it wasnt about her?"she asked as she got up. She didnt know if she could take this, she needed a minute.
"Im sure. Hey, where you going?"he asked her as he got up and grabbed her arm. She turned to him and then turned away but not before he could see tears in her eyes. "Whats wrong?"
"This. This is just too much"she said, not looking at him
"Taurie. I wrote you these songs to tell you how I feel. Not to make you cry"he said as he turned her to him. "Look at me"he said and tucked his finger under her chin. "Look at me"he said again and forced her to look at him. "Why you running away?"
"Cuz this is all a fantasy. When we get back to New York, it wont be like this"
"I know-"
"You’ll go back to her. You’ll go back to being unhappy. You’ll go back to pretending…that none of this ever happened"
"I never pretended-"
"You will"she said as she turned to leave. He grabbed her and turned her back around
"Dont leave"he pleaded as he brought her back over to the chair and sat down and he pulled her into his lap. "There’s no denying that I care about you Taurie. Everything I said in those songs are true. I dont know why you dont want to believe it. I promise that when we get back to New York, I’ll work things out"
"Work things out how?"she asked as she sat in his lap
"Call the wedding off"he said and she looked at him in shock. "Kae and I dont see eye to eye anymore. As much as I want to fix her, shes trying to fix me. We cant be fixed"he said,"I think its too late for us and you helped me see that"
"No. Keep me out of this"she said as she tried to get up off his lap but he held onto her tight. "I dont want you to leave her because of me"
"Im leaving her because its right for me. You’re right for me"he said,"The last couple of days have been the best Ive had in a long time. I used to love Cali but…situations got so bad that I didnt even want to come back here. I made a lot of mistakes here. So I stayed away. But you’ve shown me how it used to be, how fun it is. How Im myself here"he said,"I want everyday with you to be like this"
"What? Fucking and smoking and clubbing-?"
"And supporting each other and joking and laughing and talking to each other about anything. Being us"he said. Taurus smiled at him, not believing that he was saying all of this now. He caressed her cheek and then pulled her face to his and kissed her gently but soon it got more passionate.
She could feel her heart filling up with joy. Could it be? Her dreams were coming true? The man that she was in love with was going to come through for her? She kissed him passionately, slipping her tongue into his mouth as the song played over and over again. She tried to straddle him without getting out of the chair but that didnt work so well and she fell off of his lap and onto the floor. They both laughed out loud and then he said,”Yo you ok?”
"Yeah"she said,"How could you just let me fall like that without catching me?"she asked him jokingly. She then paused at what she just said. She felt like thats what he has been doing to her this whole time but for once, she felt it wasnt true.
"Come on get up"he said as he reached his hands out to her
"No I’ll stay down here. I see how you are"she said
"Come on, Im not doing that blue balls shit again. That shit is torture. You girls dont understand"
"Try having a period and going through child birth and then come to me"she said to him and he rolled his eyes
"Ya’ll gotta always bring that shit up"
"Cuz its true. You got the better part of the deal"
"Try walking around with your dick standing straight up in a board meeting"he said and she laughed,"Thats never happened to you has it? Uh huh, ok, shut up"he said and she glanced at his lap
"You mean like it is now?"she asked him and he looked down at it
"Thats your fault. Its always your fault"he said
"You want me to fix it?"she asked him as she sat up on the floor, tucking her legs underneath her
"Yeah, so get up on this lap"he said as he bit his lip, nodding his head back, beckoning for her to come to him
But she had a better idea. She licked her lips as her hands traveled up his legs to his thighs to his waist and then she loosened the string on his sweatpants. He smirked at her as if to say what-you-doing?? but he was afraid to say anything. She pulled his sweatpants down and he helped her by lifting his body up and his boxers followed and soon they were around his ankles.
Holy shit. Was she….?
She smirked at his dick standing straight up and since he was so excited at the fact that she was looking at it while she was on her knees, it started to move. He was ready to go. He didnt remember the last time he got his dick sucked. It was like Kae was immune to the shit now. He watched in awe as she tied her hair back and licked her lips so they were fully wet. She scooted closer to him and he spread his legs so that she could get as close as she wanted.
Taurus then lifted her right hand to her mouth and licked the palm of her hand all the way up the middle finger as she looked him straight in the eye, the hunger in her eyes made him almost lose it and he could feel himself getting wet already. He shivered, his body shook as her wet hand wrapped around him and he laid his head back against the seat, ready for the ride. Holding onto the handles of the chair for dear life. Her hands wrapped around and started stroking him up and down slowly. He closed his eyes, wincing at how good her soft and wet hands felt. Taurus watched him, reading his expression, trying to tell if what she was doing was something he liked.
He seemed to really like it, so she sped up. He moaned as he pursed his lips together, holding onto the handles of the chair for dear life still. She smiled as she watched his face and looked down to see precum leaking out of the head. As she stroked, her thumb went up and traced it and as she stroked with her hand, she stroked one of his biggest veins with her wet thumb. “Ahhhhhhhh ggggggodddd”he called out. The many movements were driving him insane and what made it better was that she sped those up too. He shifted in his seat as she stroked him, his head flailing every which way, he knew he looked crazy, like he was being possessed but he didnt care.
Its been too long and this felt too good.
He let out deep breaths, not thinking it could get any better than this and then he felt the warmth of her mouth wrapping around him and he called out. She flicked her tongue around the sensitive places of the head and his toes curled in the socks he was wearing. Jesus Christ. She sucked, licked and stroked the head as she kept on jerking him off at an even faster speed. Before long, inch by inch, more of him was slipping inside of her mouth. He felt himself wanting to explode as he felt her tongue and the back of her throat massaging him. But she had another surprise for him. Her other hand was free and she reached under and felt them massaging his balls.
"OH! OH THATS EFFECTIVE!"he shouted out
Taurus smiled as he called out, the sounds and the words he was trying to say turned her on. What turned her on even more was though she was on her knees, he was in the palm of her hand for once. She had complete control. She was putting him into a trance of ecstasy and she was going to decide how fast or slow or how wet they would get or when they would stop.
"Holy shit Taurie, what the fuck!?"he cried in a high pitched voice. His hands ached from grasping onto the handles of the chair and his hands ran up and down her body, feeling the soft silk of the shirt. Her soft hair and he pulled it. He put his hand on the back of her head and let her know she could go deeper and faster and she did as he requested.
"Fuck….fuck….ohmygod Im gonna….Im gonna…"
She could feel his dick getting thicker and she kept up speed, waiting for the climax and it soon came. He moaned out as he grasped her hair in his hand and squeezed it tight as he released himself inside of her mouth. She swallowed each and every drop and when she was done, she sighed as she laid back on the floor as Chris sat lazily in the chair, his eyes were closed, his dick was now limp and laying on the side of his leg.
They laid there in silence. But soon he broke it by saying,”Damn I need to start writing more songs for your ass”he said and she laughed as she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. After a few more minutes, she sat up. “Im just gonna….Im just gonna lay here….for a bit”he said, his eyes closed, looking like he was gonna pass out and fall asleep in the damn chair.
"Ok"she said in amusement and then the doorbell rang. She sighed. Who could that be? She got up and he heard her and reached out and stopped her by grabbing a hold of her hand
"Let Viv get it"he said
"Viv is at the grocery store, remember?"
"Oh…well, we aint home. They’ll go away"he said
"I’ll be back"she said with a laugh as she walked away from him. She climbed up the stairs, wiping her hands on her jeans and opened the door to find two men wearing all black standing outside. "Um can I help you?"
"We’re from Protection Services Unlimited. Im Reagan and this is Dan, reporting for duty"
Taurus stared at them confused,”I think you have the wrong house”
"No this is it. Are you Miss Tran? You don’t look like a Tran"
"Im Taurus Jackson, his assistant for the week"she said as she slowly put the pieces together. "Karrueche sent you?"
"Thats how you say her name? I was way off"Reagan said. "She did. She said Mr. Brown needed better security while he was out here for the week and we are her guys"
I bet she did, Taurus thought. Or another two pairs of eyes to watch their every move and report back to her. “Yes she did I remember now”she said recovering quickly and opened the door wider to let them in. “Come on in”she said as she closed the door behind them. “Um make yourselves comfortable? He’s in the studio. I’ll go and get him”she said and walked quickly to the basement and walked down the stairs. Chris was smoking the last part of his cigarette, nodding his head to the music as he stared at the ceiling. She hated ruining his bad mood for the second time today.
"Who was that?"he asked her as he turned the music off
"Reagan and Dan"she said
"Who and who?"
"Our new bodyguards for the week. They’re from PSU"she said and he groaned,"Karrueche sent them"
"I bet she did"he said as he got up and tied the string on his sweatpants tighter. "Shit. I got stains"
"You can barely see them"she said with a laugh. He rolled his eyes and went upstairs and she followed behind.
