Page 8 of No Remedy for Love

“So, when can I take you out so we can get reacquainted?”

“When you come help me move like you just offered to.”

“I got you, love. I always will,” Mav said right as her girl walked over with Ferris trailing behind her. Mav didn’t want to leave but he had to when he saw that his boy was walking away. That wouldn’t have been a good look and he didn’t need the added drama.

“Girl, your cousin is a mess.” Monique smiled and blushed.

“He’s also a hoe. I know you can handle yourself but I’m just issuing a friendly warning. Ferris is not known to be a one woman kinda man. That’s my cousin and I love him, but I would be less than a friend to let you walk into anything blindly. If you still choose to deal with him, I’ll respect your wishes and mind my business.”

“Yeah, I figured as much just by the way he was talking. I’m not trying to start up nothing with nobody in another stateanyway. That would be a waste of both our time. I told him we can hang whenever I visit but I can’t offer much more.”

“Girl, fuck all these niggas. Get some dick and keep it pushing. They ain’t good for shit else.” Tracy rolled her eyes in annoyance.

“Oh no. Trouble in paradise?” Remi looked at her girl, already knowing that she was upset about something.

“Bitch, just be prepared to get drunk tonight.”

Remi was drained but she stayed at the repast until the last few people left. Some of the people from the neighborhood cleaned up the rec room and got rid of all the food. The place looked like it had never been used, and she was grateful.

“Well, back to reality,” Remi sighed as she locked up yet another building that now belonged to her.

“You know I got you, my love. We’re gonna get through this together.” Tracy gave her a one-arm hug.

She knew all too well how it felt to lose a parent since she had lost both of hers. Most people stayed so busy with making arrangements that they didn’t really have time to think about it or grieve properly. It was after your loved one was laid to rest that mattered most. That’s when the loneliness and depression set in. She was determined not to let that happen to Remi because she didn’t let it happen to her.

“Honey, you ain’t the only one trying to be here for me,” Remi replied as she showed her a text that had just come through from Mav.

“Whew, chile, this is gonna be a hot ass summer and I’m here for it.” Tracy laughed but she had no way of knowing just how hot it would be.

“Fuck girl! Niggas pay top dollar for this kinda pussy!” Mav panted as he alternated between slapping and squeezing Remi’s fat ass as she bounced on his dick in the reverse cowgirl position.

“I already know nigga,” Remi replied arrogantly. The shiny blue Beamer that he’d purchased for her a few months ago was proof of that.

Six months had passed since she laid her father to rest, and Remi had finally done everything that needed to be done. All of her rental properties were occupied with the exception of one and she was settled in her newly furnished home. She thought that her stepmother would want to go back to her house butshe was happy and content living with Lollie. They had found a support group for widows and started traveling with some of their new friends. Lollie had a boo, but he never came to the house. She stayed the night at his house whenever they wanted to spend time together.

Remi had also found a job that she absolutely loved. She worked for a hospital as an independent medical contractor so she wasn’t confined to a building. That was the part that she loved the most. They signed her paychecks, but she was her own boss in a sense. She went to her patients and she got to decide how many she wanted. She had three to start and had just picked up her fourth and final client a week prior. Remi saw them all twice a week and was off Friday through Sunday.

“Shit,” Mav hissed, as Remi slid up and down his pole.

He almost lost it when she opened her legs wider to take in every inch of him. Admittedly, Remi was the only woman that he’d ever been with who could keep up with him sexually. He prided himself on being the tap-out king, but Remi had him tapping out most of the time.

Since Remi moved back home six months ago, Mav’s life had been complicated. Trying to have two women at the same time proved to be more work than he thought it would be. It helped that Remi lived over thirty minutes away from New Orleans and didn’t frequent the hood as often as she used to. Whenever she did, it was either to spend time with Tracy or check on one of her rental properties.

Mav ended up giving up his other rental property to get one closer to where Remi lived. He and Kiva were still going strong, but it was getting harder for him to get away. Over the last six months, all they seemed to do was argue, mostly becausehe initiated it. That was how he was always able to get away to spend time with Remi. They stayed the night at each’s houses sometimes, so it was easy for Remi to believe that he wasn’t with Kiva anymore. He was the youngest of his mother’s three kids and the only boy, so he was spoiled rotten. His family would lie until they took their last breath to cover his tracks. Most times when he left home due to an argument, Kiva assumed that he was at his father or sister’s house until things cooled off. If she ever called, they knew exactly what to say.

Mav swore that things were gonna be different with Remi that time around but he was right back to where he started. He had fallen in love with her deeper than he was before and he was afraid of the outcome. Remi was never really pressed to see him, but the feelings weren’t mutual. He had to see her at least three times a week, even if they didn’t do overnight visits.

“You like that?” Remi asked as she looked back at him and smirked.

“Hell yeah!” Mav lifted her ass in the air and slammed into her from underneath.

“Shit Mav! Just like that!”

“Like that? Or like this?” Mav never broke their connection as he pushed her forward onto her stomach. He wrapped one of his huge hands around her neck and applied a little pressure while pulling her back into him.

“Yes Mav! Fuck me!” Remi begged as beads of sweat dropped from his body onto hers.

Mav was beating the pussy up, but she never complained. She was backing it up on him, so Mav stopped and let her do her thing. He loved when Remi matched his energy and fucked himback. Seeing his dick disappear inside of her and reappear had his head spinning like a top.
