again. "I trusted you, though. I never would have thought you'd use sex to manipulate me in order to deceive me. I will never let you do that to me again."
"I wasn't myself, Jesse." JoAnn's voice trembled. "I just--It was a mistake."
"I'm going to file for divorce and for joint custody of Trina."
"Baby, give me another chance," JoAnn pleaded.
"You're out of chances, JoAnn. The moment I tried to choke the life out of you, I knew it was over."
JoAnn began crying in earnest. "I'll do anything to make you happy. I promise I won't ever do it again."
Jesse swallowed down his emotions. It wasn't easy for him to let her know that he'd thrown in the towel on their marriage. It wasn't easy to detach himself from all his emotions for her, but he knew that he had to. He knew that JoAnn and her addiction would ruin him and his dreams. He wasn't about to change his mind because she was shedding tears.
CHAPTER 13
WILL
A fter Will forced a public argument with Angela, which he knew was completely wrong, mean-spirited and inappropriate, he got into his car and drove away. Back on the highway, he called DaNikka.
"Baby girl, talk to me," Will said when DaNikka picked up the phone.
"Hey, baby." Will could hear the smile in DaNikka's voice. "Were you able to get away?" she asked.
"I can always get away. Now tell me what you've arranged," Will said. He wanted to make sure that what DaNikka had set up was worth pissing Angela off, because if it wasn't, he planned to make DaNikka pay dearly for it.
"I talked to my girlfriend Shantel," DaNikka teased.
"And?" Will wanted her to get to the point.
"She wants to get together with us. But--"
"But what?" Will asked.
"She wants some money," DaNikka answered. "Five hundred dollars. She said that she's not doing it for free."
"I don't pay for sex," Will snapped at DaNikka. "You know that." He was already thinking about turning around and rushing back to the restaurant to apologize to Angela.
"She said that she'd really make it worth your while," DaNikka continued. Will could hear her voice trembling a little.
"Really?" Will asked, feeling lust burning deep within him. He tried to fight the feeling but he couldn't. It was like having an itch and trying not to scratch it. No matter how hard he wanted to resist, he couldn't.
"Hello? Are you still there?"
"Yes. I'm here."
"Did I mess up? Did I do something wrong?" DaNikka asked.
"No," Will answered. "You've done well."
"Now, if I do this, will it prove to you how loyal I am to you?"
"Didn't I tell you that I was on the housing subcommittee?" Will barked at DaNikka.
"Yes, but--"
"But nothing. I have the power to get you, your momma and your siblings into a really nice place. All you have to do is what I ask."
"I know, baby. But I was just wondering when we'd be able to move? I'm tired of living in this crazy neighborhood."
"Just give me a little more time. Trust me. I'll make sure you get out, especially if you and Shantel satisfy the burning in my soul."
"We will," DaNikka said.
"Yes, you will. I'm going to make some hotel arrangements now. You and Shantel get ready. I'll pick both of you up in about an hour."
"Okay. Shantel just asked when can she get her money."
"Tell her she'll get it once the job is done."
"Okay," DaNikka said, and hung up the phone. Will started laughing. He felt an erection being born as he thought about how young, impressionable and gullible DaNikka truly was.
Will stopped at the drugstore and picked up a package of condoms. With Shantel being as young as DaNikka, he knew that her womb would be fertile ground for even the tiniest droplet of sperm. Then he stopped at a nearby liquor store and purchased some alcohol, knowing it would help the young ladies relax.
Back in his car, he began laughing to himself. "Oh, Angela," he said aloud. "You had the nerve to tell me that I wasn't satisfying you. But the truth of the matter is that you're not doing a damn thing for me.
"I wasn't myself, Jesse." JoAnn's voice trembled. "I just--It was a mistake."
"I'm going to file for divorce and for joint custody of Trina."
"Baby, give me another chance," JoAnn pleaded.
"You're out of chances, JoAnn. The moment I tried to choke the life out of you, I knew it was over."
