When I answered my phone as Kong attempted to smother me with puppy kisses, I knew
Dashawn was going to be in a panic, but I never thought I’d hear him take a tone with me like
that. I felt my blood pressure literally spike at his command to get my a*s back to the office.
When the phone went dead, I chuckled darkly, remembering I thought I couldn’t be bold with
Dashawn, but I think that was about to change.
“Everything alright?” Davis asked as he cuddled his new cat Calyco in his arms.
“Oh, yes. Everything is fine. She’s really adorable. You seem happy with your choice.”
“Yes, her green eyes called to me. The moment I looked into them, she started purring madly
and hasn’t stopped.”
The rumbling sound from his cat was indeed nonstop. I smiled. I reached out to pet her, but
King whined and grabbed my thumb in his mouth and brought my hand to him. Oh, my little
one was possessive already. I giggled.
“He doesn’t want to share,” Davis said, with a chuckle.
“Hmm, I have a lot of that in my life.”
“I bet. Mr. Krew doesn’t seem to like your attention anywhere but on him.”
“You’re very observant.”
“Well, I notice every time I or the principal talked, and you looked at one of us, he would brush against you,
and
your attention would go back to him with a smile.”
I smiled and laughed. “Very observant. He’s the love of my life, although at the moment, he
might be in some trouble.”
“Oh, don’t go too hard on him. I’ve seen my friends, the ones that are in love, become besotted so much that they make fools of themselves. Especially to please their woman or partner.
And when one is upset with them, they become almost like a baby.”
“Oh Davis, when you find someone, you’re going to fall hard. I just know it.”
“Perhaps. Hopefully, he will be just as in love with me as I will be with him. However, I hear
heartbreak makes the best music.”
“Do you know of Thalia?” I asked.

“Oh yes! Her first album had tears in my eyes listening to it.”
“She’s Dashawn’s sister. That album is about her first heartbreak.”
Davis gasped. “She’s Mr. Krew’s sister? Wow!”
“I’ll invite you to the next family barbecue and you can meet her. I’ll ask Tawny if you and my
friend Robbie can come.
I pulled out my phone and texted Tawny. She answered right away.
“You can. She said the more, the merrier. Maybe I’ll invite Natalia and Luca too.”
“I can not wait to meet her. She’s literally one of my inspirations. If I wasn’t g*y, I’d totally try
for her.”
“Well, buddy. She’s in love with a man who is also in love with her, but neither of them know about it. Well he does, but he somehow f*cked it up.”
“What an idi*t!”
“Yep,” I said, poppy my P.
We pulled up to the apartment. I said goodbye to Davis and the Prospect helped him carry all his cat stuff. I waited, thinking about what I was going to do with Dashawn. My anger dissipated a little. I could see why he would be upset. However, he should know me better. Especially after all we talked about this weekend. He should know I would never betray him. I knew we were moving too fast. If he could believe I would betray him like this, maybe we should slow things down. He obviously doesn’t trust me. That kind of hurt.
When we pulled up to Star Media, Kong and I made our way through the lobby. We had to stop a couple of times because people noticed Kong and Alice, one of the receptionists that worked every other day, squealed and came running out from behind her desk.
“Oh my God, Sam. He’s gorgeous. What’s his name?”
“Kong. He’s a Cane Corso. I’m told he’s going to me massive, but I don’t care. He captured my heart.”
“Oh, he will. My daddy breeds Corso’s. They make fantastic family and guard dogs. I had one guarding me all through my childhood and teenage years. But they are the sweetest to their family pack. Just make sure you train him well. They are a smart breed and are bred for
protection.”
“I will, thanks for the information, Alice.”

“Anytime.”
My phone pinged and I looked at it. It was an unknown number. The message read ‘Money is coming for you‘ and then it ended with Avery’s name. First, how in the f*ck does she know Dashawn is Money, and second, why is she texting me? My anger, that was gone, came roaring back.
Kong and I got into the elevator. I picked him up because he didn’t seem to like being in there.
The elevator came to a stop and the doors started to open. Kong had attacked a piece of my hair that got into his face and that had me giggling.
Suddenly, I was pushed to the back of the elevator and slammed against the back wall.
Luckily, my head was cushioned by something or else I would be seeing stars.
Fearfully, I looked up, only to see Dashawn staring at me, tears flowing down his cheeks. Then
Kong growled and latched onto Dashawn’s wrist. I gasped and got him off of Dashawn. My
anger coming to the forefront.
I pushed him off of me, demanding to see him in his office, and was surprised momentarily
when he actually moved.
As we walked to his office, I saw the curious and amused looks on people’s faces, but I held
my head high. When I opened Dashawn’s office, I froze. Holy tornado! His office was
wrecked. I saw red. Did he really wreck his office because he thought I cheated? Yeah, we
were definitely taking a small break.
I slammed the office door after telling him to get his a*s in the office.
He opened his mouth to say something, but I put my hand up. There was no place on the floor
I could put Kong down. He was becoming heavy. I marched over to the desk and I set Kong
on it. I commanded him to sit and something must have been in my tone because he sat and
watched me with loving eyes. I patted his head and called him a good boy.
“I’ve never been so jealous of an animal before.”
“Yeah, well, apparently you were jealous over something or should I say someone else from
the looks of your office.”
“Baby, I…” I cut him off real quickly.
“No, don’t you baby me. You are going to listen to what I have to say. I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU
WOULD THINK I WOULD CHEAT ON YOU!” I screamed. I didn’t mean to, but rage bubbled out
of me. “After everything we’ve been through and the conversations we’ve had, you actually

thought I would be in the arms of another man?”
He opened his mouth and I snarled. He shut it real quick. He then adjusted himself and looked down in shame.
“You of all people should know I would never do that to someone, especially with my past. I would never hurt someone the way I was hurt. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you and show you that you are the love of my life. It’s obvious you don’t trust me. And knowing that guts me. So, I think we need some time apart. I am going to go to the apartment and pack a bag. I will be at my uncles‘. Maybe take this time to think if you really want to be with me, because to me, it looks like you can’t trust me and that’s no way to be in a relationship.”
I turned to pick up Kong and arms banded around me.. Kong stood on his feet and growled.
Then he let out cute yipping barks.
Dashawn pointed at him and Kong stopped and laid down on the desk.
“Now it’s your turn to listen to me,” he said into my ear, making me shiver.
He turned and walked us to the bathroom. He sat me on the counter and grabbed my face, so I would be looking into his eyes.
“Baby, I am so sorry. I trust you, I do. It’s others I don’t trust. I lost it when I saw your text.
The image of you in the arms of another man sent me spinning. I couldn’t control the hurt
and anguish that went through me. That message tore my heart out and then when I heard
heavy breathing and you giggling, it shattered. I’ve never in my life felt such despair. The
thought of losing you to another, had me going berserk, and that’s why the office looks the
way it does. I am so sorry for not having more faith. I don’t need time apart. I know what I
want. It’s you and our life together. I can’t live without you. Please, Sweet Girl, forgive me.”
He leaned his forehead against mine and I closed my eyes. The pain I saw in them had me feeling guilty. I just thought it would be a little prank. I didn’t think he would react with such
rage. His office was literally torn to pieces.
A little bark came at us and he chuckled.
“He’s awfully cute. I can see why you fell in love with him. He’s very protective and possessive
of you.”
“He reminds me of you,” I said, quietly.
“I’m so sorry baby. I love you.”
“I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have pranked you like that.”

“No, I should have had more faith in our relationship. I promise from now on I will never question your love and loyalty to me again.”
“I’ll never give you a reason,” I said. I leaned forward and kissed him. He deepened the kiss. Then he hissed.
He brought his hand in between us.
“Dashawn, Jesus.”
“There’s a first aid kit in the cabinet.”
I turned around and got it out. I proceeded to clean his hand of the dried blood and put cream on his cuts so they wouldn’t get infected. Then I bandaged them. After, I kissed his knuckles.
We walked out of the bathroom, Dashawn opened his office door and told Sandra to find someone to clean his office and get him new furniture.
“We’re going home so I can make this day up to you,” he said to me.
I picked up Kong and brought him to Dashawn.
“Kong, meet your daddy.”
Dashawn chuckled and took him out of my arms. Kong wiggled and licked all over his face and neck.
Dashawn’s booming laugh lightened my heart. I was glad we worked out the
misunderstanding. I guess I could see it from his point of view. I would have been livid too, but I would just have left. I am grateful he didn’t.
