_____Days of lighting and thunder, I have not seen the sun in weeks. My mind and body are out of control. Out of my many habits above all I had the nerve to give up coffee. What the hell was thinking? I ask myself. I am lying here in bed, knowing that I have a ten fifteen meeting with my boss Nathan Holmes. Mr. I will lay my plumbing down into any sewer hole that will let me. Nathan has had sex with almost the entire staff on the set. Even with a few extras I was told through gossip. Are you wondering if I slept with Nathan? I am thrilled to tell you hell no. It wasn't like he didn't try though, but I set him straight. I own 35% of his production company, as well as the rights to our current project. I have the goods on Mr. Roto-Rooter. Do I need to say more?
_____It's nine thirty cold temperature, rain and brisk winds waits for me outside. It's warm and comfortable under the sheets. Why would I want to trade this in for a meeting or better yet to go to work at all? My thoughts were interrupted by noises from the bathroom. The door flew open.
_____"Good morning." She said cheerfully.
_____Who the hell is that? I asked myself.
_____"It's about time you woke up, I made breakfast for you." The strange woman laughed.
_____Finally my voice found its way back to my throat. Removing the covers off my face I ask. "Who are you?"
_____The woman spun her head around like Linda Blair from the Exorcist. "What the hell you mean who am I? You weren't that damn drunk last night Essence! You remember my name long enough for you to call me to come over last night or is that it? I don't need this shit from you." She quickly grabbed her things and stomped all the way down the stairs. I didn't know if the storm was outside or right here in my house.
_____Grabbing the comforter to my mouth, I didn't want her to hear me laughing as she was cursing me out. Once I heard the front door slam shut, I burst into laughter. Ah'jana was a release of tension for me. I will send her some flowers and a deep I want you back in my bed again tonight apology. I smiled as I thought of last night escapade.
_____I walk down the stairs to see what breakfast look like. I caught a glimpse of my body in the mirrors that surrounded the staircase. My skin, a deep shade of brown, I have brown hair with no visual sights of gray thanks to Mrs. Clairol and a body of a 36 year old that I'm not ashamed of. Pushing the door to the kitchen, which I need to have removed. I spotted some eggs, bacon and bagels on the stove. I called my next-door neighbor Shannon to come over. Waiting on her I called Nathan to let him know that I was not coming in and I will e-mail him next weeks script by five this evening.
_____Shannon knocked and walks right through the back door.
_____"Hey girl, I felt the storm, what did you do this time?" We looked at each other and laughed. Shannon grabbed a plate and adds a couple pieces of bacon with a bagel.
_____"The storm you heard was Ah'jana."
_____Shannon cut her eyes at me.
_____"You did it again didn't you?"
_____"Yes I did." I said.
_____"You know you could be letting love walk right out the front door." Shannon said.
_____"Girl whatever! Ah'jana is not about love she is about getting my pussy and trying to control me!" I rolled my eyes. "I am nobody's bitch."
_____Shannon shakes her head from side to side.
_____"You are a dog, and you will never find love that way."
_____"I will call Ah'jana later I have her number plus I am going to send her some flowers letting her know that I didn't mean it and by night she will be here again, trying to control me, trying to make me scream until I have an orgasm and me saying to her that she is the best fuck I ever had."
_____I smiled and turned around to pick up the phone again to call the florist.
_____"What is the next episode about?" Shannon asked.
_____"You know I can't tell you that." I sarcastically responded.
_____"Oh Essence come on I will not tell this time."
_____"I know that is why I am not telling you." I said.
_____Watching Shannon eat I lost my desire to have anything. I grabbed a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
_____"I can't believe that you don't trust me, I thought I was your girl."
_____"You are my girl, my girl with the big mouth. I laughed. I made that mistake once remember."
_____"Just tell me this one part.... Please... E...stop playing E tell me... come on please."
_____I walked away from her laughing. I put the water down on the desk, flipped on the computer and watch the screen load. If I get at least five hours of work done, I will not feel bad that I didn't show up on the set.
_____'You Got Mail.' I bet this is Amber telling me how much she loves me. Well if I don't know anything else, I know Amber loves me. She always leaves her naked pictures in my e-mail. If that does not show love then I don't know what does.
_____Shannon followed me into my office, which is really my dinning room. "No need in peeking over my shoulder, I said, I'm checking my e-mail."
_____"I wasn't peeking, anyway Jeff and I are going for BBQ Do you want me to bring you some when I come back tonight?"
_____My mouth begins to water. "Are you going to Mississippi's?" I asked.
_____"Yeah I'm going right after work, girl I can't wait."
_____"Shannon please bring me some back and don't forget me like you did the last time" I looked at her and rolled my eyes.
_____Shannon laughing. "I told you that was Jeff's fault."
_____" I asked you to bring me something back not Jeff."
_____"All right I will not forget you E, I see you later tonight."
_____Before I had a chance to tell Shannon have a nice day she was out the door. I hoped she cleaned her mess in the kitchen.
_____I became involved in my work as soon as I heard the door slam. We are close to the end of our season, I am writing the rough drafts for the season finale. The Seventh Circle is one of cable's top ten television shows. With two Cable Aces in our hands and a nomination for a Golden Globe Award, which I believe we would have won if it weren't for that show with the four women about being in the city. I became startled when the phone rang.
_____"I don't want your damn flowers or your sorry ass apologies if I ever see you ass again Essence I will scratch your fucking eyes out."
_____"Ah'jana wait a minuet." I yelled into my phone that already had a dial tone to it. "Oh well I guess she won't be in my bed tonight." I said out loud. Thinking on what Shannon said earlier in the kitchen. I refuse to apologize twice. No woman will ever have me screaming and acting like a bitch.
_____Right now I am having a hard time concentrating. I decided to look at a few old episodes to get some inspiration, when the doorbell rang. Not expecting anyone to come over, I reluctantly answered the door.
_____"Who's there?"
_____"American Florist " a female voice responds from behind the door.
_____I put a wide smile on my face Ah'jana must have change her mind. Opening up the door, I notice the delivery girl with some black roses in her hand. We looked at each other for a second long enough for her to pass me the clipboard for me to sign for the dead flowers.
_____"Have a nice day." She said.
_____Tossing the flowers aside the card fell out in front of me.
_____'I hope you like the flowers Essence you deserved them. 'Rolling my eyes I tossed the card too. My doorbell rang again. What she forgot to give me the dead rabbit? I swung the door open. It was the delivery girl again.
_____"Do you mind if I use your phone? My car died on me again." Feeling stupid I step aside and pointed to the glass cabinet where the phone was. As I stood in the doorway of the dinning room I begin to watch the delivery girl body language. Mid twenty's, Honey blonde skin, frizzy dark black hair that she pulled up into a ponytail. Her breast size, a 38D cup or maybe a 40. Her ethnicity showed through her lips hips and thighs. I was so intrigue with what I was doing I didn't realize that she was calling me trying to get my attention.
_____"My uncle is coming to get me but it is going to take him about an hour. I know this is awful for you but if you don't mind if I can stay here until he gets here?"
_____She assured me that she wasn't crazy or anything like that, so I agreed to let her stay.
_____Instead of the watching the tapes I put my work aside to entertain my guest.
_____I offered her something to drink as she waited and she decline.
_____"What did you do? "
_____Immediately I became offended. "Excuse me?"
_____"You know the dead flowers." Khalah sat back on the couch making herself comfortable.
_____"Wait a minute, I let you in my home because your car broke down and it is cold outside. That doesn't give you access into my personal life." I said.
_____"My apologies, I have develop a taste for putting my foot into my mouth.
_____"You haven't told me your name and you are all ready snooping into my business."
_____"I'm Khalah, and I don't mean anything behind that."
_____"Well Khalah to satisfy your curiosity. The black roses are a big misunderstanding."
_____"Is that another way of saying a lovers quarrel?" I look at Khalah to find where she was going with this and why she wanted to know about my personal business.
_____"Are you a reporter disguising yourself as a delivery girl?"
_____"What makes you think I am a reporter? What you famous or something?"
_____"You know the rule about asking a question with a question."
_____"I am not a reporter I am a delivery girl for American Florist She smiled. If I am making you uncomfortable I'm sorry. She stood up and begins to look around the house. "You have a beautiful home, now are you famous or what?"
_____Childish curiosity swept across her face. I no longer thought she was a reporter.
_____"I am a producer and writer for a cable television show."
_____"Is it ok to ask which show it is?"
_____"The Seventh Circle." I said proudly.
_____"Oh my god!" Khalah screamed. "I knew your name looked familiar it was a shot in a million though, It is you oh my god your Essence Martin!"
_____"Yes I am Essence Martin are you a fan of the show?" I asked.
_____"Yes a huge fan I haven't missed one episode since it started two years ago."
_____"Thank you Khalah, it is fans like you that keep us on the air."
_____"Now that I am over with being star struck let's get back to your lovers quarrel." She said.
_____ "Maybe you need to taste my Timberlands." I said in a playful tone.
_____We both laughed.
_____There was something about Khalah I knew that I could trust. I told her everything that happens that morning with Ah'jana. She agreed with Shannon that I was a dog. She also said if her boyfriend ever pulled something like that with her she would never speak to him again. I became crushed when she said boyfriend. I had thoughts on replacing Ah'jana for the night.
_____"How long you and your boyfriend have been together?"
_____"Almost a year." She said, grinning from ear to ear. Don't worry, all a dog need is a good trainer, maybe that is your problem." Khalah laughed.
_____"Do you care to find out how much is that dog in the window?" I said.
_____"Essence, like I told you before I love my man!" She said forcefully.
_____"Damn you said that like you are putting me in check."
_____"No I just don't want you to think that I am going to replace Ah'jana."
_____I wanted to change the subject I went back to the one thing we both knew...The Seventh Circle. "Khalah you are a big fan of the show just before you came I was writing the rough drafts for the Season finale. I said. "I wanted to do something special or different not a typical cliff hanger."
_____"Oh my god, Essence are you offering me a job on the show?" Khalah screamed.
_____"I am offering you a chance to write, get a paycheck and to sleep with me." I said. All right the last one about sleeping with me I did not say that out loud, I was thinking it though.
_____"I don't know the first thing about writing for a show. "She said.
_____"You never missed an episode since the show aired you know the characters. I know you can identify with someone on the show. Take all of that and place it on here." I gave her a note pad and a pen. I knew I was taking a big risk Nathan will be upset and fire me. I laughed and reassure myself that will it never happen.
_____We talked for hours I totally forgot about her Uncle coming by. Looking at the clock we spent the whole day together writing and getting to know about each other. Over lunch which soon will fall into dinner. I knew I was taking another risk by opening up the conversation again, I guess I just don't know when to quit while I was ahead.
_____"Khalah can I ask you a question?"
_____Lifting her head up from the note pad she pulled her hair down from the metal clip. Shaking her hair that reaches just passed the nape of her neck. She pinned it back up opened her eyes and said "Sure."
_____"Have you ever kissed a woman before?"
_____"Besides my mother and my Aunts on the cheek No."
_____"Hmmm ok." I said.
_____"Why would you ask me that?
_____"I was wondering what it would be like to kiss you that's all."
_____"Essence I told you already I love my man, I'm not into woman."
_____"I heard you the first time there is no need for you to protest." I said, "How would you know if you don't like it? You never kissed a woman before"
_____"I never been shot before but it don't take a genius to know that it hurts." She laughed
_____"Point well taken." I got up and grabbed two bottle waters out the refrigerator. Passing one to Khalah she touch my hand thoughts begin to race through my mind she could have took the bottle from the bottom instead she touch my hand on purpose. I started back proofreading the script. Before I knew it Khalah was in my face. She kissed me on the lips.
_____"Are you happy now?"
_____"Are you happy?" I replied.
_____"It was just a kiss no big thing, I just wanted to prove to you that it was not a earth changing experience. Now do you mind if I used your bathroom again?"
_____A knock and a ring on the door I welcome her Uncle into my home he thank me for letting Khalah stay and for being so late coming. I assured him it was not a problem. Khalah hugged her uncle and passed him her car keys. She went out side with him and I cleaned up.
_____"My car is up and running now, I enjoyed myself I thank you for letting me stay and lunch and the writing thing."
_____I interrupted. "Khalah I had a good time today." I smiled.
_____"Yeah I guess we can go back to being delivery girl and customer now hun." She sounded sad.
_____"No." I passed her my card with my numbers on it and I wrote down my home number on there too.
_____"I will call you sometimes ok."
_____"Do me a favor if you see a delivery for anymore black roses for me throw them in the trash." We both laughed. She hugged me and left.
_____Nathan threw a screening party for the cast and crew. Everyone loved the season finale. For weeks I tried to get in touch with Khalah to let her know we used her idea for the show. I called American florist they told me she never worked there before. Nathan believes that I made the whole thing up. Khalah was no more than a ghostwriter, I was she and she was I. I tried to explain to him just how real she is. Maybe I was fooling myself. I left Nathan's earlier I wasn't in a party mood. I notice that since I met Khalah that it has not rain since. Today the storm clouds are fierce. Rain begins to pour down on my car in buckets. I was soak from the walk way from my car to the front door. Pulling off my wet clothes I thought about Khalah and wonder what could have happen to her she called me once since we met.
_____She never missed an episode, convincing myself that she watched the show and saw her name.
_____I became frighten when I heard pounding on my door. Who could be at my door in the middle of a thunderstorm at this hour of the night? There was no time to put on clothes I grabbed my robe and hurried down stairs. It was Khalah! I couldn't believe it. She grabbed me by my robe and kissed me. Not like she did months ago but passionately like I wanted her too. I tried to talk to her; she kept throwing her tongue in my mouth. She took me by my hand and led me upstairs to my bedroom. For a second I thought how did she know where my bedroom was? I kissed her and it was exactly what I thought it was going to be warm and soft. Pulling off her coat she bared everything in front of me.
_____"I want you. She said. I couldn't stop thinking of you since I met you." " Damn I should have never kissed you. How did you get to me?" Khalah pressed her body up against me and push me on the closet door. "There is a part of me that hate you right now." She said.
_____I open my mouth to say something she cover it with her hand.
_____"Shut up! I don't want to hear you to speak."
_____There was something different about Khalah. It was very dark in the room I couldn't see her in front of me. I can feel her body; I can smell the scent of the perfume that she left lingering around the house. I felt controlled. My body is beginning to respond to her. Reaching for my belt on my robe it fell apart reviling all of me, there was no place that I could hide. She wrapped her tongue around my nipple pulling it between her teeth. Khalah pushed me away from her and walked out of my bedroom door. I touch her on her waist kissing her on the lower part of her back. She fell to the floor. I heard her she started to cry.
_____"I hate you." She repeated over and over. Quietly I whispered to her "I know."
_____I brought her back in the room and laid her on the bed where our body became one. I became her and she became me. I explored and discover parts of her body that no man could conquer. I ran my tongue down the middle of her back. Climbing on top her placing my legs between her thighs. I wanted to taste the sweetness of her kisses. Her soft cries were replaced by moaning. At any giving moment Khalah could have stop me, just as she wanted me, I want her also. The touch of her brown skin the way her nipples felt as they became erect between my fingers. I filled my mouth with her breast. Kissing, sucking and pulling on her nipple between my teeth I became engulfed in her body. The smell of sex begins to cascade the room. Temptation is calling me by my first name.
_____I know it is her sex that is calling me. I moved my body down the end of the bed mid way to her hips. She let me spread her legs apart. My finger became tangle in the hairs on her pussy I left them there long enough to expose herself to me. There was no reason to deny my desires. I was hungry and thirsty at the same time I didn't know which craving to satisfy first. Slipping my tongue in between her thighs, between her lips and deep into her canal. I quench my thirst with cream and I ate the fruit.
_____
_____Barely breathing and shaking Khalah called out my name. "Essence." By the way she tighten up her legs She was close to having her orgasm. I couldn't resist sliding two fingers inside of me to release my sexual tension. Closer and closer I came to her orgasm the further apart she begin to breathe. I licked her clit in small circular motion.
_____"That is my... my.... My....My.... OOOOH SHIT! Khalah screamed. She threw me off of her. I was confused what did I do wrong.
_____"Where are you going Khalah?" I said. I can feel her grabbing my hands Oh shit she is tying me to my bedpost.
_____"You thought you had me didn't you?"
_____"Khalah what are you talking about?"
_____From the moment she suck my breast, I relaxed. She was not leaving me like she did before. Here I am doing the very thing that I would not allow my body to do allowing a woman, allowing Khalah to have control of me.
_____"You are going to do it." She told me forcefully.
_____"Do what?" I asked.
_____"You are going to scream I am going to make you scream you will cum for me if I have to suck your pussy all night you are going to cum for me."
_____I dare not to say anything back. I enjoyed the way she suck my breast. I never had any one bite my breast before, the pain alone I wanted to scream. My eyes rolled back when she put her fingers inside of me it felt good and she knew that. Regardless if I wanted to respond or not she had my body in control my mind was soon to follow. I started moaning it was only too myself at first, but somewhere between her telling me how much she is going to make me feel and sound like the bitch it grew louder. Her fingers travel up and down from my clit to my canal. Immediate when Khalah put her tongue on my clit she found my spot. Disorientation crept on me I be damn if she didn't unleashed that desire in me. What the hell, she was eating my pussy like she knew me!

"Essence let it go." She told me. "Cum baby let me hear you let me show you what you are missing I promise you this if you do this I will never tell."
_____The truth of the matter is I never had an orgasm while having sex with anyone before. Eating pussy plus orgasm equal control. I never wanted another woman to control me. I have fake orgasm and made my lovers think they were good.
_____"Tell me that you don't like the way I am eating you?"
_____I was captured the more Khalah suck my pussy the more my body begin to shake this is not familiar to me. I don't understand what is going on. My mouth is dry I cant tell her to stop my hand are tied I can't move. She starting to lick me aggressively I am sweating and barely breathing. I felt myself cumming as my legs were beginning to lock around her neck. My body is shaking I can't stop the orgasm from happening. I started crying.......... And then I screamed...
_____I over heard the weatherman on the television say it was going to be a great day the sun is shining bright. I have the day off Thank God for that. I looked down at my body and I was naked. I remember what happen last night and I smiled then I laughed. I laughed at Nathan Khalah is real. My thoughts were interrupted by noises in the bathroom. It was Khalah. I craved her this morning but I was too tired to move.
The bathroom door swung open. Good morning Sleepy head." She said. I pulled the covers off my face; I started screaming it was Ah'jana! She flashed a cassette tape in my face.
_____"I will give Khalah your regards.........Bitch! She laughed stomping down the stairs all the way out the front door.
