Page 27 of I Heard It All Before

Chapter 10

Asha walked out of the bathroom with a huge smile covering her face. She had just gotten off the phone with her boo and things with him and Lo were going better than she imagined. The money was stacking up and that was all that she cared about. He was still nervous about making money the illegal way, but Asha assured him that he was fine. He was even enjoying the extra cash and wasn’t ready to stop. Unlike Cam, he loved her enough to take the risk. He had been bugging her about leaving Cam and being with him, but Asha just wasn’t ready. She was stalling like crazy, hoping that Cam would come to his senses soon. She belonged on the arm of a man like Camden Davis and she wasn’t giving up hope.

Just thinking of all that sexiness sprawled out in their king-sized bed had Asha hot and ready. She got into the bed and slowly crawled over to him. After slipping her hand in his boxers, Asha stroked him until he was at full attention. Their sex life was always great and Asha had to keep it that way. She didn’t want to start slacking in the bedroom and make him suspicious. It didn’t take long before Cam was moaning and running his hands in her hair. He was thrusting his hips up forcefully, almost gagging her with his girth. Asha braced herself and kept up with his quickened pace. She sucked and slurped like a vacuum, anticipating the reward that she was sure was soon to come. It didn’t take long before Cam erupted in her mouth like a volcano and Asha swallowed his lava like a pro. Cam was spent, but she kept sucking and slurping until he was bone dry and pushing her away.

“Good morning baby.” Asha smiled as she looked up at him.

“It damn sure is a good morning,” Cam said while looking over at the clock.

It was only a little after six, so he had plenty of time before he had to be at work. It didn’t matter if he was late anyway. Randy was his boy and he never said anything about it. It was because of Cam that he even had the shop, so he felt indebted to him on a different level. He got up from the bed and stretched, with Asha’s eyes on him the entire time. She cursed him for being so sexy. She would have probably been gone if it wasn’t for that. It sounded superficial, but it was true. She also couldn’t deny that Cam did take very good care of her at one time. She appreciated him for that, but he needed to keep it up.

“Come take a shower with me, baby,” Asha said as she stood up and started removing her clothes.

She had Cam’s undivided attention when she sauntered pass him and went into the bathroom. He hurriedly rushed in behind her, ready to put in some work.

A little over an hour later, Cam and Asha were exiting the bathroom that was connected to their bedroom. What was supposed to be a quick shower turned in a fuck fest that took them from room to room. Once they were both drained, they finally took a shower and washed the sex from their bodies.

“Have you been apartment hunting like I told you to?” Cam asked her as he started to get dressed for work.

“Yeah, but I haven’t seen anything that I like. Nothing decent is in the budget that you gave me. I thought you said that we could do a month to month lease over here,” Asha said, reminding him of a recent conversation that they’d had.

“We are doing a month to month lease, but we’re still moving. I only told my mama to do that, just in case we didn’t find anything in time. I don’t want to be locked into another year and I don’t want to ruin her credit,” Cam replied.

“You don’t like anything that I show you,” Asha complained.

“That’s because everything that you show me is high as fuck,” Cam countered.

“Well, it ain’t my fault that we’re broke.” Asha shrugged.

“Get a job and we wouldn’t be,” Cam countered.

“You never worried about me getting a job before. You were the one who decided that you wanted to live paycheck to paycheck,” Asha said with a roll of her eyes.

“If you don’t wanna be here, you know where the door is. You’re not a hostage,” Cam informed her.

“I do wanna be here Camden, but this is just stressful. You switched up on me overnight and you want me to be okay with that. You used to be about your money and never let nothing stop you. Where’s the old Cam at?” Asha questioned

“He grew the fuck up and learned that there’s more to life than just selling dope,” Cam answered.

“We don’t even do anything anymore since you got out. All we do is fuck and argue,” Asha pouted.

“That’s because of you, Asha. I asked you if you wanted to catch a movie the other night, but you wanted to chill with Laila instead. Kobe and Lacey invited us out to dinner and you refused that too. I’m doing my part. Don’t fault me because you’re not doing yours.”

“What about Lo? Have you even considered talking to him?” Asha asked.

“Bye Asha,” Cam said as he grabbed his wallet and keys from the dresser.

“It’s not even eight o’clock yet. Why are you leaving so early?” Asha asked him.

“I got shit to do,” Cam replied while walking out the door.

He got in his truck and sped away in the direction of IHOP. He didn’t do the arguing thing, and Asha knew that. He would walk away in a minute before he went back and forth with anyone. Many people were in their graves behind a simple argument and it wasn’t that serious with him. After arriving at his location, Cam walked into the IHOP and waited to be seated. The wait was twenty minutes long, but he didn’t mind. He pulled out his phone, preparing to call his mother when something else got his attention. The dark-skinned beauty who paid for his meal a few weeks before was sitting at a table by herself with a faraway look in her eyes. She was stirring an iced coffee with a straw, but it didn’t look like she’d even taken a sip of it. Cam didn’t even get the okay from the waitress before he went further into the restaurant and up to her table.

“I guess it’s my turn to pay for your meal this time,” Cam said, making Demi jump at his sudden intrusion.

“Excuse me,” Demi said, genuinely confused by what he was saying.

“You paid for my food a few weeks ago when you were in here and I just wanted to return the favor,” Cam replied.
