Chapter 6

Bliss sat on the luxurious sofa in her living room across from her sister, Kris. Both women had a glass of wine in their hand, while they looked at one another.

“What?” Bliss asked.

“What are you doing Bliss?”

“Right now, I’m enjoying this Classic Trimbach Riesling…” She held up her glass. “Mr. Put It Down turned me on to this.”

“Mr. Put It Down has turned you on to a few things, it seems.” Kris commented.

“He has…” Bliss agreed with a smile.

“So you’re going to stay involved with him?”

Bliss sipped her drink. “I think so.”

“Why?” Kris asked. “You can date any man that you want?”

Lifting a brow, Bliss asked, “Can I?”

“Of course you can. You’re smart, successful, beautiful…”

“I’m also a black woman who wants a black man.”

Kris frowned. “What does that have to do with it?”

“My pool of men is actually a tiny fish bowl,” Bliss explained. “So much so, that you tried to hook me up with a random man at the bar.”

Kris sat her glass on the table then gave her sister her full attention.

“We were just trying to get you some relief from working all the time.” Kris explained.

“But, in order to be that successful woman, I have to work ALL the time.”Bliss replied. “I can’t expect anybody to give me shit. Not the money hungry white man, not the jealous ass white woman nor the ass kissing black man, who operates in my world.”

“Maybe you need to change the world you operate in?”

Bliss shook her head. “Why should I have to? I’m entitled to the same luxuries as they are.”

“But what’s the trade off?” Kris asked. “Working yourself into an early grave?”

“No, it’s finding the right balance between the two worlds, and finding somebody who can hold me up while I’m doing it.” Bliss explained.

“And you think this man can do that?”

Smiling, Bliss replied, “If he chose to, he could do anything…”

Kris laughed. “I can’t believe this is my sister. I didn’t think any man could make this kind of impression on you.”

“Clearly, he’s not just any man…”

“Am I going to meet him?”

“Hopefully…”

Kris sighed. “That’s right...he has a bounty on him.”

“There has to be a way to get him out of that situation.” Bliss said determinedly.

“Bliss…”

She looked at her sister. “What?”

“Don’t…”

“Don’t what?” Bliss asked.

“Don’t go getting yourself in something that we can’t get you out of…” Kris warned.

Sipping her drink, Bliss questioned, “When has that ever happened?”

“It hasn’t...so let’s keep it that way.”

“It hasn’t happened, because I can handle my shit.” Bliss replied. “I’m not going to allow him to just take this...there has to be another way.”

“What is he saying about it?”

“It’s part of the game...and he knows the consequences.”

“Damn…”

Bliss closed her eyes. “I can’t lose him when I’ve just found him Kris…” she whispered. “I have to do something.”

“I don’t want anything to happen to you, Bliss.” Kris told her.

Opening her eyes, Bliss agreed, “Me, either.”

Her phone chimed on the table, and Bliss reached for it, while Kris drank from her glass.

“Hello…” Bliss said smoothly.

“Bliss…”

She smiled.
