Homecoming

RYAN

I let my bag fall to the ground and the thud it makes in the now silent room seems to resonate endlessly.

Without looking in my uncle’s direction, I request, “hey Dec, would you mind taking Rashida home, please?”

I vaguely hear a grunt of acquiescence come from his side and watch Malika’s best friend scurry to the door. I notice she’s struggling to hold in a mischievous grin.

“Bye, you guys,” we hear her call, before the door clicks behind them.

My eyes can’t leave Lika’s. I tighten my fists at my sides, my jaw working hard, my dick ready like never before in my life. The vision of my gorgeous, sweet girl dancing like she was working the pole at a Vegas high-end showgirl spot pulsates through my mind. And I take a step in her direction. It’s as if my movement jolts her awake, and Malika hurries toward the stairs without even a glance back, throwing a mumbled ‘goodnight’ over her shoulder.

I would laugh if I wasn’t still under the shock of her performance. She ran away.

MALIKA

One Twenty-three. I watch the numbers flash on my phone screen. I have heard no noise come from downstairs for hours now. Ryan must have gone to bed.

Earlier, after I ran to my room as the only sane reaction to the biggest humiliation of my life, he came and softly knocked on my door, calling my name in a gentle voice. But I didn’t answer. Uh-uh, no way. I’m never interacting with this man ever again. I have no clue if he plans on firing me and my mind hasn’t thought far enough about me quitting or not. But for the foreseeable future, this girl will stay locked away in her room.

There’s one thing, though. The list. I can’t leave that incriminating piece of paper downstairs for Ryan to find. The cleaning staff came just before I arrived, so they’re not due till later in the week. This weekend, it was just supposed to be the two of us in the house, before I take off on Monday for a few days off. It was supposed to be our downtime. Make plans for the next coming months, set a schedule. Now I all I want to do is pack my shit and never face Ryan again. But I can’t. He’s counting on me. We’re friends. I’m his employee. And I’m a grown woman, goddammit!

I crack the door to my room open and look to both sides of the hallway. Clear. I unnecessarily tiptoe on the plush carpet and continue down the stairs in the same manner. I know I must look like a crazy person, but I don’t care. My hot boss, with whom I’m desperately and futilely in love, saw me shake what my mama gave me like a cheap video vixen. I’m never coming back from that. And there’s no way I’m letting him see that list and fall even lower in his eyes.

Heart beating like crazy, I reach the entrance to the living room and keep advancing as quietly as humanly possible.
