Mixed Love

Her happiness

Zaria POV

I pushed him off of me once he lifted up my shirt and seen my protruding stomach.

“You’re sick of people playing games, I’m not sure what games I’m playing but I certainly don’t play games about the wellbeing of my baby “I yelled at him.

He went around his desk to push the button to lock and frost his windows.

“No before you say anything sit down and listen to me clearly” I said to him sternly.

He sat down and stared at me like he could see into my soul and it sent a shiver down my spine the way he was looking at me so sexy. I could not give into him; he is a married man and I have to stick to my guns or Ill be stuck.

I sighed heavily before continuing “Don’t think that I don’t know everything that you have been doing these past couple of months. I know you are hurting at the fact that you are married, but there is nothing you can do about it. You had all the chance in the world to stop it and say something or not do it at all. If you really cared about your happiness or love me the way that you say you do you would have done something, I guess you wanted to be married. I have been receiving picture after picture of the s****l encounters that you have been having everyday for the last two months from an unknown number. Every time you had a s****l encounter, I was aware of it I was so tired of receiving the pictures I changed my number, but they still found a way to send me the pictures. I also met Marcus and know that you sent him here to keep and eye on me like a little child which I am not. If you wish for me to stay here, we will conduct business in a professional manner” I said to him.

“How can you say that to me, you know I love you and would have done anything different to not get married. I’m sorry for deceiving you while away and I’m so so sorry for every picture that you have received, and I hope you can forgive me one day and know that my actions are not justified at all. You’re the only woman I want sexually and I was just so livid I didn’t know what else to do to let out my anger. s*x is a way that I do that, but I did not have you around.... plus when I get that angry, I wouldn’t want to have s*x with you due to me not wanting to hurt you. Yes, I had Marcus come and keep a look out on you just to make sure you were safe that’s all.....Will you find it in your heart to forgive me?” he said.

I sat in thought for a couple minutes before replying “Ill have to think about it, if you do as I say it will make things easier. I can’t be stressed to where I’m putting my child in danger and that’s all I’ve been these past couple of months. Let me see how things begin to pan out and I’ll let you know....Can I go home please I’m very tired” I said to him after I finished.

He nodded and unlocked the door and windows. I left out quickly so he wouldn’t see my tear-filled eyes, and began to pack my things up to leave. Marcus walked in and greeted me with a Hi beautiful and hug and said he will walk me out.

“Give me a few minutes while I speak to Alex” he said and disappeared into his office.

The doors locked and the windows frosted over indicating they needed to speak privately and you couldn’t hear what was being said either.

Marcus POV

I entered the office just in time to see Zaria packing up to leave. I went over greeted her with a Hi beautiful and a hug and told her I’ll walk her out, but give me a few minutes I wanted to speak to Alex.

Me and Alex have been friends since childhood, we went to middle, high school and even college together where we met Zach. After college we went our separate ways to pursue our dreams, him as a business owner taking over his father’s business and creating one of his own. I became a well know accountant who works with well known famous people and more. Zach became a top-notch lawyer which he was very good at his job, but he never told Alex how it was. I entered his office and he greeted me once he saw me come in.

“Hey what’s up Marcus” he said

“We need to talk lock and frost the windows please” I said. He did as told and looked at me like I had two heads. He could tell that I was pissed about something just didn’t know what yet.

“Don’t give me any bullsh*t man, plus I have a lot of work to do make it quick or I’ll be here late” he said to me.

“Don’t give you no bullsh*t really, man spare me the speech and save all that for later you need to ponder what I’m about to say” I yelled at him. By then he was all ears.

“Do you know how hard it was to get her to trust me, to open up to me a little bit. At first, I was watching her but then I decided to introduce myself since you never did and I didn’t want her to get creeped out if I got caught watching her. She didn’t even want to talk to me not even when I said I knew you. All she did was come home and go to work, she never went out and always almost stayed late every night. Once you left your CFO took a vacation as well. She has been here busting her a$$ day in and day out to make sure everything ran smoothly while you were away. It took me a week straight to get her to talk to me. I even rented the place across from her apartment to keep a good watchful eye out on her just in case Jennifer tried something.

I would hear her crying almost every night and I felt so bad for her when I found out what was going on. I had my tech guy Kevin hack into her phone to see why, and that’s when I seen picture after picture of you screwing a different woman every day for the last two months. I wanted to call you so bad and curse you, but I didn’t, I didn’t want anything bad to happen if I did that. I know how you are when you get angry you don’t think about anything or anyone and a lot of people could get hurt in the process. The main person that got hurt was her, the woman that you claim to love, the woman that is pregnant with your child.

Honestly you didn’t have to get married, you could have told your parents to shove it and it’s not your problem that their friend is having financial difficulties due to him being a bad business man. No, you do everything your parents say even if it means you don’t get to be happy. It’s not right nor fair to you and you have to stand up to them or you will forever be living in their shadow. You want to know something else she is so faithful to you that even though she knows you’re out screwing other women she did nothing about it. She didn’t go get revenge and sleep with someone else. She still went to work and came home and either cried herself to sleep or pleasured herself to sleep. You do not know how bad I wanted to comfort her and help her take care of her pleasure. I didn’t because you are my best friend, but we have been getting close these last couple of months and I have to say I do see what you see in her. I think I’m actually falling for her” I told him pacing the floor.

He sat there for a while looking at me pondering everything I just said to him.

“What do to you mean you think you’re falling for her. I know I f*cked up but don’t tell me you want my blessing to date her. She has my child growing inside her and you’re not about to take that from me at all” he said.

“Hold up I never said anything about taking your child away from you. You don’t have to give your blessing you’re not her father and she is a grown woman and can do whatever she pleases. You are in this contract marriage for 2 years buddy, do you want your child being a bastard and not getting to know you for 2 whole years. Yes, you f*cked up and it’s your fault it is the way it is, you knew your parents would have pulled a fast one on you so I have no clue as to why you didn’t read the prenup. They obviously care more about their friendship than they do their son. So please spare me the bullsh*t and if I were you, I’d rather want my friend to date her instead of an outsider anyway. We both know I can provide for her and her child until things with you and your marriage settle down or come to an end. Now..... will you please give me your blessing to have her hand in marriage and I promise you will not miss an appointment; you will get to see your child and Jennifer will leave her alone and believe it is my child. So, you will not have to worry about giving up half of everything you worked so hard for just to accommodate your cheating scandalous wife. You know she’s waiting for you to come back and see you with Zaria to make her move with the prenup so let’s fake her out. Since we are best friends you best believe I will bring the baby by every chance I get” I said to him.

He sat deep in thought for a while before responding to anything. “What if you two fall in love, then what I can’t get her back” he said coarsely.

​“If she will have us both and you don’t mind it, I’m down for that. I’m telling you right now I won’t let her go once I get her. I want to make sure she is happy, and we all know that I don’t mess around like you do. Think about it and let me know I’ve kept her waiting long enough” I said and was about to walk out the door.

Before he unlocked the door and unfrosted the windows he said “Yes.....you have my permission to make her happy. When I come for her when its time, I’ll share with my best friend if she will have us both we will have to see” he said and hit the button.

On my way out I winked and gave him an air high five.

“Ready to go beautiful” I said to Zaria on my way out.

“As ready as Ill ever be to go home” she said with a smile on her face and we departed her office.

Alexander POV

After Marcus left, I sat pondering what he said and I did have a choice to turn down the wedding proposal. I just didn’t have the guts to stand up to my parents, and I always wanted to see them happy and put a smile on their face, so I always done what was asked of me without second guessing anything. The whole time we were in Skyton Falls I didn’t talk to my parents nor Jennifer at all after the wedding and tried my best to stay away. I just wished I knew who the hell was taking pictures of me,so I planned to hire a private investigator to find out for me. I do love Zaria and now that she is pregnant with my child, I am going to do everything in my power to make her happy and not stress her out. If she wants to date my best friend so be it even if that means marrying him so our child won’t be born out of wedlock and they both are safe. I needed my parents to know once and for all that they will not pull the wool over my eyes again, this is the last time I am doing anything that does not make me happy. So, I got up and locked up my office and left for the day. I called my parents on my way out to see if they were at home and told them we needed to talk immediately.

Marcus POV

As we were departing her office heading to the elevator deep in conversation the receptionist decided to call my name. When I didn’t answer she called my name louder, and I still ignored her then she yelled my name again. That is when I paused my conversation with Zaria and replied to her.

“What is it that you want Stacy, don’t you see I am speaking to someone you are being very rude and disrespectful” I said to her in a demanding tone she had no other choice but to respond.

“I-I w-wanted to see if you would like to go out with us tonight” she said stuttering over her words.

“No, how many times do I have to say I do not go out with my best bud employees, plus none of you are my type anyway” I said as the elevator reached the top floor.

We were getting on the elevator when I heard Stacy say “Yea, but what about her, it looks like the two of them are really comfortable lately and she is an employee of Mr. Knight as well. I guess he likes black girls she voiced to the other receptionist laughing.

Before the elevator doors shut, I stopped it with my hand and responded to her remarked that truly offended Zaria.

“Yes, I sure do have a thing for black women especially my fiancée here, now apologize or you will regret “I told her.

She looked at me then at Zaria who was not giving eye contact to anyone, then she scoffed and said “Yea right I don’t have to do anything you tell me you are not my boss nor my man. I just wanted to see what a good lay you were especially with that big d*ck of yours that I can see in every set of pants you wear”.

Livid I let the elevator doors close but before I did, I laid a big passionate kiss on Zaria that she didn’t she coming. The dropped faces of the receptionists were the only thing I seen after the doors closed, happy that I received that reaction from them. I apologized to Zaria after the altercation and she said it was fine she was glad they got put in their place.

“Are you hungry” I asked her

“Of course, look at me don’t I look hungry” she said giggling.

I laughed with her and said “You look beautiful and I’ll happily oblige by feeding you if you will accept dinner with me”.

She looked like she was deep in thought before she said “Yes I’ve been starving all day long walking on eggshells since he came back” she said.

“Cool, I’ll take you to this small mom and pop diner so we can have peace without interruption” I said.

We arrived at Loretta’s Café that was 20 minutes away and found a quiet spot in the corner next to the window. I excused myself as I stepped outside to call Alex to tell him all about his mouthy receptionist Stacy. He said he will handle the situation and we got off the phone as I headed back in to join Zaria.

“Want to play 21 questions?” I asked her as I sat down.

“Sure” she said

Before we started the waiter came over and took our drink and food order.

“Ladies first” I said and she was too eager to go

“Okay, how old are you?” she asked.

“26, same question” I said

“23” she responded

“When is your birthday” I asked the next question

“November 11, same question” she said

“August 13” your turn I said

“Favorite color” she said

“Black…. same question” I responded

She pondered what I said for a moment and burst out laughing. Her laugh was addictive and caused me to laugh with her.

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to laugh; my favorite color is green” she said.

“It’s okay, your turn

She thought about it for a minute before responding “Do you really like black girls?”

I looked her deep in her eyes and said “Yes ever since I was in high school, I took a liking to black girls” I said.

“Why” she said.

“Nope” I said popping the p, you already had your turn I’m next I said.

“Where is your family” I asked?

“My parents died in a car accident one night on their way home from a date when I was 9 years old. A drunk diver slammed into them killing them both instantly. I was put into foster care and went from home after home until I was 14 years old. Then I stayed with this foster family who fostered a lot of children just for the money. They treated all of the foster children badly, not feeding us if we did something wrong like talk back, staying out past curfew, we would get locked up when they got mad. It was just the worst and when I turned 18, I left and never looked back” she said sadly.

“Sorry to hear that, you’re going to be an excellent mother I can tell” I said

“My turn” she said all giddy

“Why do you like black girls” she said eagerly

I paused for a moment before responding and I looked at her dead in her eyes the whole time I spoke.

“I love your caramel skin, your lips, your big beautiful eyes, your curvy body and the way your clothes hug your frame perfectly. The way you look at me or Alex mesmerized, with that sparkle in your eyes, how intelligent you are and never back down from anyone. The way you always ignore those jealous hags at the office and don’t let them come in between you and what you love to do, you’re sweet, innocent and I’d love to take care of you and your baby” I said.

She looked at me with those eyes and I just got lost and couldn’t help the next question I asked her

“Would you marry me if given the chance for your child not to born out of wedlock and for the both of you to be safe?” I said before I could catch myself.

She just stared at me without answering the question and then our food arrived. We sat in quietness for a while eating before she said anything

“Why would you want to do that, It’s not your obligation to do so. I’m sorry I answered a question with a question but I have to know before I answer” she said.

“That’s perfectly fine I understand. I want to make you happy, put a smile on your face everyday. Take care of the both of you, get you out of the stressful situation you are in. Give you pleasure without you having to please yourself. Afterwards you can divorce me once Alex is free from his marriage” I said solemnly.

A huge smile grew on her face and it made me smile as well.

“Nobody has ever said or wanted to do anything like this for me. I don’t want my child to be a bastard nor do I want to continue this journey alone. If you will accept me and Alex doesn’t mind it I’ll do it. If we get comfortable and fall in love I’m not so sure that I’ll want Alex” she said.

“Of course you will, you two have a child together and will always love each other. I know you remember the story I told you about how the three of us are so close right, well really the two of us” I said.

“Yes, I remember not sure why you told me the story, but yes I clearly remember” she laughs.

“Ok recall the story to me then” I tell her

“Really do I have to” she says and I nodded

“Ugh okay, you said that the three of you would run trains on women who wanted the three of you. That’s all I’m recalling” she said shaking her head and waving her hands in the air indicating she was done.

I sat there laughing at her gestures before I responded

“Okay that’s all you have to recall, at least you remember it. Anyway, yes we are close like that but we all have to agree before doing it. With you in the end if you want us both you can have that. We don’t mind providing you with pleasure at the same or different times” I said.

“Hold up you guys are not about to run a train on me” she said shaking her head.

I laughed while responding “never would we, we would provide you with pleasure and not the other way around. Have you ever wanted to be with two men before, giving you the utmost pleasure” I said to her looking in her eyes.
