Sly : SBMC Maryland(9)
Author: Erin Trejo

“You don’t understand shit. Did you want me to walk in there and politely ask for all their illegal doings?” I snap at him. He shakes his head.

“No, but you are screwing the president. I would think you could fuck better than that! At least you used to,” he growls pissing me off a little more. Fuck him! I can’t believe he would even bring that up right now. Deb looks between us confused as I shove out of my chair.

“You have no right to bring up our past relationship right now!”

“You were with him?” Deb asks with a nasty look on her face and her finger over her shoulder pointing at Mack. I roll my eyes.

“Unfortunately, and thank God it didn’t last long,” I grumble.

“Not for lack of trying,” Mack adds.

“Yeah, you tried, and you just couldn’t keep that cock of yours hard enough.” His eyes burn with hatred as he stares at me.

“Holy shit! You were together,” Deb’s voice trails off as if she can’t believe it. She and I have always been good friends, but I didn’t let her into that part of my life. You know, the mistake part.

“You had one goddamn job, Fabiola!”

“Shut the hell about one goddamn job. I don’t work for you, Mack!”

He slowly stands from his spot at the table and shifts his eyes between mine. “You wanted this. You asked for this and now you are fucking the enemy,” he hisses, each word making my skin crawl.

“Who I fuck doesn’t concern you, does it?” My eyes burn with the same intensity as his.

“You asked for assistance or did you forget that?”

“No I didn’t forget that, Mack. You need to trust that I know what I’m doing here,” I say calming my tone a little. Mack has always been a little more hardened than the others. He wants things done his way and on his time. Not this time. This is all mine. Not his.

“Fabiola,” he says my name like a warning.

“Mack, I mean it. Let me do this on my time, my terms.” He nods his head and grabs his briefcase before turning and walking away. I sit back down only when I hear the door slam shut.

“You and the cop, huh?” Deb says as I look over at her.

“It was a long time ago. It was all of five minutes. He was a waste of my time,” I tell her.

“And now you’re fucking the outlaw. Do tell, how is that going?” I smirk at her and shake my head. I won’t be sharing the details of me and Sly. That isn’t going to happen, but I do need to talk some of this out.

“I feel guilty, Deb. Like I shouldn’t be doing this.”

“I’m just going to say this, and you take it how you wish. You look…happy. You smile. You laugh. You haven’t done that it a long time and I think he may have something to do with that.” Her words ring all too true.

“He makes me feel alive, Deb. I know it’s all kinds of fucked up considering the situation, but I can’t deny that.”

“Then are you sure you want to keep this going? It’s only going to end badly for you, honey.” I lower my head knowing that she’s right but how can I not?

“I’ve hurt for too long. I lost my brother. It isn’t fair, Deb,” I say as a tear slides down my cheek. Just as she’s about to stand and come around to meet me, someone knocks. Deb moves toward the door instead, but I stay seated until I hear her voice rise.

“How the fuck do you know where she lives?” Now I’m interested. I climb out of my chair and walk toward the door when I see Sly standing there grinning. Jesus, if he would have showed up a few minutes earlier, he would have seen Mack here. Or did he see him? No, he looks too happy.

“Told you, she’s mine. I make sure I know where my girl lives,” he smirks at Deb before looking over at me.

“You stalking me?” I ask playfully, keeping my tone even and under control when all I want to do is freak out.

“Not at all, baby. Just comin’ by to see my woman,” he says brushing past Deb. He reaches for me, pulling me to him easily before kissing me roughly. It’s possessive and I almost moan into his mouth.

“Do you have any single friends?” Deb asks, breaking our moment. Sly chuckles and smiles over at her.

“A few. I can hook you up.”

“She doesn’t need one,” I say trying to stop her madness.

“You don’t know what I need. I might need one,” she says looking him up and down. I nearly choke on a laugh but Sly smirks. He doesn’t mind her eyeing him like that. In fact, he just takes it in stride.

“What are you doing here?” I change the subject and look back up at Sly.

“Some shit went down. I need to head out for a while. I wanted to see if you’d go with me,” he says as his hands run up and down my arms.

“What happened?” I ask concerned.

“Club shit, babe. Anyway, I’m takin’ the boat out for a few days. Thought maybe you’d wanna keep me company.” His eyes look so lost right now that it makes my chest ache. Even though I’m trying my hardest not to have feelings for him, I do. It’s a contradiction I know.

“I’d love to.”

“Me too,” Deb says with a laugh.

“Shut it, Deb,” I tell her over my shoulder before looking back up at Sly. “Give me a minute.”

He nods and I turn to head for the bedroom to pack a bag. It doesn’t take me long and as I throw the strap over my shoulder, I say a quick goodbye to Deb and step outside to see Sly standing by his bike. He looks gorgeous, powerful even but when he turns to face me, it all slowly fades. He’s just Sly.

“You ready?”

“Yeah, I am.”

“I was hopin’ you’d say yes,” he says pulling me into his arms once more.

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. I wanted a few days alone with you.” Kissing my cheek, he turns and climbs on the bike with me right behind him. This could either be the smartest choice I’ve made or the stupidest.

 

 

Chapter Ten

 

 

I was shocked that she said yes. I didn’t think she’d agree to go with me that easily. Now as we head out into the ocean, I like knowing that she will give into me that easily.

“This the new one?” she asks over the wind as it whips around us.

“It is. You like it?” The new boats arrived, but little does she know, they aren’t typically used for pleasure. They are however used to handle business.

“It’s beautiful.” She smiles as I drive us farther out into the open water. When I get where I want to be, I kill the engine, grab her hand, and lead her toward the bow. I usher her to take a seat while I grab the cooler and pull out a few beers. Popping the tops, I pass her one before I sit and join her.

“The sunset’s beautiful out here. It just plays over the water in the most unique way,” I tell her.

“You come out here a lot?” she asks, when I look over at her.

“Not in a while. I need to. This is the only place where I can let my thoughts run wild and sort through them. It’s peaceful but I can reflect on things here.”

“What are you reflecting on?”

“My life. My choices. There are so many things that I’m thinkin’ about right now.”
