Page 19 of Welcome to the Heart Of A Maniac
“Is it bad? Did something happen to Wren?”
Wren seems to be the only thing that they’re worried about.
“Nah. I came here to let you know that you’re out.”
“What! No!” He shot straight to his feet and rushed around the desk. “Please, Maniac.” This nigga looks like he’s ready to get down on his knees and beg.
“Not my decision. If it was up to me, you’d already have a bullet in ya,” I told him and exited his office, bumping right into Tyree. Gripping him by the back of the head, I shoved his nosey ass out the way, and his face smacked the wall.
“Maniac, you can’t do this to us!” Trayvon yelled behind me, but I kept striding. I’d come there for one thing and done exactly that. Whatever he needed to say, I ain’t want to hear it. Shit wasn’t gon’ change the decision that’s already been made.
When I made it back to the house, I noticed that Wren’s truck was gone, which means she was no longer inside. I stopped my car, parking it along the back of the trailer and hopped out.
Taking the steps up to the front door, I picked the lock and headed inside. I wasn’t worried about her camera catching me, because she wasn’t connected to the internet yet. I’d gotten her hooked up to the water and lights immediately after her trailer was dropped. I wanted to see how long it was gon’ take her to ask me for the internet.
The house carried the sweet scent of strawberries mingled with warm vanilla. My eyes bounced around the living room area. It’s small and cozy. A cat purred as it ran past me and I jumped back, not even expecting that shit to be in there. It kinda made sense. How she acted when I knocked the cat out the tree. She was a cat lover. I can tell from the scratching post in the corner of the living room and the few toys scattered on the floor.
I sauntered down the hallway and found the first bedroom. It looked as if bubble gum exploded in here with a flower bouquet. Pink bedding. Pink furniture. Pink pictures on the wall. It’s safe to say that her favorite color is pink.
I opened one of the drawers and lucky me, it’s her panty drawer. Removing the yellow thongs, I brought them up to my nostrils and took a huge whiff from them and stuffed it into my pocket. I grabbed her black lace bra and removed my pocket knife from my pocket and cut the strap off and then tied the shit around my wrist.
Shutting the drawer, I opened her closet and saw different variety of clothing in there. It surprised me that everything wasn’t pink.
“I’m telling you, this man is insane,” I heard coming from the front of the trailer. I hadn’t even realized that she’d made it back. Not wanting to startle her, I slipped into the closet and pulled the door up, leaving just enough space where I can see out but not be seen. “I’m telling you, Aria, I don’t know what they got me into, but I don’t know how this is gon’ work out,” Wren said as she passed the closet door. She placed her purse on the dresser. I saw her beautiful face through the mirror from where I stood. She wore a scowl. Wren may not want anything to do with me now, but I’m sure I’ll win her over.
Pinching the bridge of her nose, she stepped back from the mirror and turned toward me. She slouched against the dresser, picking at her fingernails. “It don’t matter that he’s kinda cute.I just don’t think this is gon’ work for me. I’m about to take a shower. I’ll call you back,” she said and removed the phone from her ear and then tossed it onto the bed.
Sighing, she went into the bathroom, disappearing from my view. The faucet could be heard from where I stood. Wren exited the bathroom and pulled her shirt over her head. She’s braless. My tongue swept my lips just from seeing her bare back. She shimmed out of her pants and went back into the bathroom. For a moment, I waited to ensure that she’d gotten in the shower before exiting the closet. My intent was to leave out the door, but curiosity killed the cat. I found myself standing in the bathroom doorway. Steam clouded the bathroom.
She likes scorching hot showers like me.
I took a step closer and could see her through the crack in the shower curtain. Wren stepped underneath the showerhead and the water rushed down on her perky breasts. My dick was brick hard, and that’s when I knew I needed to get the fuck outta here before I fuck the shit out of her.
Stepping back, I exited the bathroom and headed for the door before she got out and saw me in here. The last thing I wanted to do was scare the shit out of her again today.
Wren
A COUPLE DAYS LATER
Stepping out my door, I looked over at Maniac’s mansion and sighed. This man has this big, beautiful ass house on all this land. I just know his wife is living her best life.I wonder how she felt when she found out that he moved my trailer onto their land.
I hadn’t seen his wife since the night of the wedding. Every so often, I’d peek out the door to see if I’d see her leaving the house and saw nothing. Rarely did I see Maniac coming and going.
Hitting the fob on my truck, I adjusted my duffel on my shoulder and headed down the steps. Today, I was heading to meet Aria for Pilates. It’s something we took up together to keep us in shape. I’d actually grown fond of going in the last couple of months and basically had to drag her out with me.
Opening the driver’s door, I tossed my bag onto the passenger seat and turned my truck over. Of course it clicked on my ass.
“Ugh.”
Tyree tried to tell me that nothing was wrong with the truck when I knew that was a lie. He was just sorry and didn’t want to put in the work to figure out what it is.
Pressing the gas a few times, I turned the key over again and got the same result. “Need some help?” I jumped at the sound of Maniac’s voice. Man appeared out of thin air.
Cutting my eyes at him, I replied, “No,” and turned the key over. This time, the truck started up. “See.” I beamed a smile at him.
He leaned his frame into the side of my truck. “You gon’ stop fighting it one of these days. Mark my words.”
“Where’s yo’ wife?” My right brow arched to my hairline as I tilted my head and searched his eyes.
