Chapter 19
Sherry
I didn’t find the apartment that I was looking for, but I did find something that would do for a little while until I could spend more time and find something better. It was a bit too much and it still wasn’t in the best of neighborhoods, but it got my brother’s approval which I guess I still needed. It wasn’t like I was going to really be that upset if I lost it, considering what he was doing, but it made it easier when I had to tell mom and dad that I was going to be moving into the city as well. It wasn’t going to go down well and I really needed Charlie there to help smooth it over.
When I woke up and they told me that I was going to have to ride in with Rex, I was filled with mixed emotions. While it was good that I was going to spend some time with Rex alone, hopefully a repeat of the other night, I wasn’t going to have anyone on my side when it came to telling my parents.
With no choice but to tell Charlie goodbye, I got in the car with Rex and tried not to look as dejected as I felt. It was going to be one of those times that I wished I was anywhere else.
We weren’t riding long before Rex told me why Charlie was acting so differently.
“So your brother knows that you know. Someone told him that you were at the club the other day.”
“Well at least I know why he has been acting so weird now. He has been really uptight. I should have said something, but I didn’t want him to worry even more.”
“I don’t think you can stop that from happening. Your brother is always a little high strung when it comes to the family. He will get over it. I am sure, but for now if you could not rub it in his face, that would be good.”
“Do you really think I am that kind of girl?”
“Maybe. It wouldn’t be the first time.”
I smiled at Rex and shrugged. “Siblings are like that. I have to torture him sometimes and the fact that my brother is like some kind of pimp is definitely going to come out eventually.”
“Is that what you think of me? That I am some kind of pimp?”
“No, but I did take a peek in your rom. You have some serious issues going on there Rex.”
He laughed which was a bit of a surprise and he shook his head with mirth. “So I am going to be the one getting the ribbing since you can’t say anything to Charlie about it?”
“Yep. How did you guys decide to become pimps? I mean did it just come to you one day or what?”
“Actually it kind of did. I was bartending and this guy wanted to sell his club. He was sick of dealing with it and one thing led to another and the next thing I know we are buying the club. It took everything we had and before long it was turning a good profit.”
“So what makes you so successful?” I was grinning now, still unsure how I got to having this conversation with him in the first place.
“Well, it is all about picking the right girls.”
I sat back in the seat and looked out the window. Flashing of sex went through my head and I tried to shake them off. I didn’t want to think of him and Candy together, but of course that was where my mind went. I knew that she worked for him now and then there was the redhead. I was in way over my head with Rex and it was now that I really realized it.
“Yeah, I can see how that can be difficult.”
“Are you mad?”
I looked out the window and shook my head. “Why would I be mad?” It wasn’t like he was mine. I knew what I was getting into when I went into his room that night. I knew that it was a one-time thing, but I would have been lying to myself if I didn’t admit that I didn’t want it to be more.
“I don’t know. The temperature in here just went down about ten degrees in the last few minutes. I don’t know what is on your mind Sherry. It has been weird between us ever since we were together.”
“It is weird and I don’t know. Charlie has been acting weird and I don’t know what to do about him. If he found out about us Rex, there would be hell to pay. He would freak out. Did you see the way he was acting when I was there? He was treating me like I was still a teenager.”
“Yeah, I don’t think Charlie should ever know about us. I don’t think he would take that very well.”
“That is an understatement if I ever heard one.”
“But what your brother doesn’t know can’t hurt him.”
I wanted to agree with him and in many ways I did, but I was still not sure if this was the right thing. Rex and I were from two very different worlds and I don’t know if I was ready for his kind of world.
“Well it only happened the one time. It is no big deal. He doesn’t have to ever know about that one time. We can just pretend that it just didn’t happen.”
“Is that what you want? Do you really want to pretend like it never happened?”
“I don’t know what I want.”
“I know what I want.”
I turned to him and asked him what it was that he wanted. Without hesitation, he put his hand over my mound and squeezed. “This is what I want Sherry. I want to make you come again. I can still hear it in my head. I just want to hear that sound again and feel your fluid flow all over me.”
I didn’t know what to say to him and when he started to move his hand in a circular motion, my eyes closed and I forgot all about what I was supposed to be doing or what I wasn’t supposed to be doing. All I could think about was Rex’s touch on my core. He really knew how to make me feel so good.
