I had convinced Aries to take a shower since he was all sweaty. I was hoping I could convince him to stay but he probably wouldn't. Hearing him talking to that woman on the phone hours ago I was sure she was probably upset. He was suppose to have met her but AJ had caught him before he left. I just knew he would have told him he was his father but he didn't.

He went out to play with AJ and he looked liked a natural. I was glad the truth was out. All we needed to do was tell AJ. Over the years I wanted to tell him he had a son but it just seemed like it wasn't ever the right time.

Having AJ had changed my life. My parents were dead so I had no one but me. It was hard. I had given up my dream of going to law school because I couldn't really work, take care of AJ and focus on my studies. Over the years I had taken jobs to support us. I was tired and trying to raise a boy as a single, black female was a struggle in itself. Little AJ loved football and he became good at it just like his father so the first opportunity of getting close to Aries I took it.

"I put some towels in the bathroom for you."

"Thank you."

He dropped his phone and when I realized it, he had gone in the bathroom. I quickly picked it up to see the tons of text messages.

I'm waiting baby, where R U? The flame is hot.

I'm swinging all by myself, I'm so lonely.

Where R U????????

It's been 3 hrs. I'm done.

Where D F R U? U betta B dead!

Well it seemed she was angry. She had a text with a picture in it. I swiped my thumb across it and a picture of her in a jungle costume appeared. She was swinging in a hammock with a chocolate dipped banana putting it in her mouth. There seem to be huge plants or trees behind her and a stuffed monkey sitting in a tree. Besides the soft porn, she was actually a gorgeous woman. She even looked like a professional model.

I remember seeing her standing next to the car at AJ's game and she was pretty tall. If I remember correctly she was wearing scrubs. She was probably a nurse. I can't believe she heard my conversation at the game, she was going to be a thorn in my side.

I went to fix his plate when his phone rang. I looked down to see Dr. Lizzy Johnson calling and it was the same woman from the jungle picture. The phone rang again so I answered it.

"Hello?" I answered. It was quiet on the other end of the line. I must have shocked her. I cleared my throat.

"Hello I am looking for Mr. Aries Wilson. Did I call the right number?"

"Yes you did."

"Can you have him contact Dr. Johnson?"

"Is there a problem... Dr. Johnson?"

She was quiet for a moment before she spoke. I could hear her breathing hard and saying something under her breath.

"I can only discuss this issue with Mr. Wilson as he has no one else listed as a contact. Thank you for time." She hung up but she sounded pissed. I smiled putting the phone on the table.

"Thanks for the use of your bathroom but I really got to go."

"I fixed you a plate, you can eat it later."

"I'm good thanks, I will be in touch." He put his jacket on searching for his phone.

"It fell out so I put it on the table," I said pointing to it.

"Mr. Aries are you sure you can't stay for dinner?" AJ asked.

"I'm sorry but I can't. I've missed a very important appointment already. Look I'll make you a deal. When I come back up this way I will stop by and see you."

"Okay," AJ said disappointed with his head down. He put his finger under AJ's chin bringing his head back up.

"How about your mother bring you to the first home game? You can both come out and see me play."

"That would be awesome!"

"Your mother and I will make the arrangements. Be good for your mother and stay out of trouble. Remember to hold the ball tight under your arm."

"Yes sir!"

He pulled AJ into an embrace and rubbed across his head. He grabbed his phone off the table and walked out closing the door behind him.

I looked at AJ and he seemed disappointed that Aries, his father had left. I hated to see my child look like this. I needed to make this right so we could be a happy family. First step, move to Atlanta, secondly remove current girlfriend and thirdly to seduce Aries. Timeline six months. I couldn't help but to smile, Operation Love Me Back was now officially up and running.

I tried calling Liz several times but she didn't answer. She had left several text messages including a sexy pic. I didn't know how I was going to make this up to her. I can't believe I got caught up like that. I looked at the time and it was almost eight pm. Stopping at the light on Corporate Blvd., I saw the icecream place she loved so much opened so I stopped in to get her favorite flavor.

I hauled ass to her place. When I pulled up all the lights were off except the lamp in her living room. Pulling up in the garage, I took the key out my wallet she had given me. I unlocked the door and headed inside.

When I walked through the kitchen I could smell roses. The loincloth she had bought me was still on the counter. I quickly stripped out my clothes putting it on and headed towards the bedroom. I could see her in the bed with her back turned to me and I tried not to make any noise. I tiptoed and kneeled down next to the bed.

"Don't even think about it."

"I'm so sorry. I got tied up at AJ's house."

"Why were you over there?"

"I thought I would check on him since I was in town."

"I thought you were specifically coming to see me."

"I was, I mean you are the real reason."

Her eyes remained closed as if she couldn't even look at me. Her voice was full of anger.

"I'm sorry I lost track of time. He asked me to meet his friends and one thing led me to showing them different plays and then I got so caught up, damn I'm so sorry." I leaned in and kissed her on the shoulder.

"I called all the local hospitals, the police station even found Brandon's number. I was so worried about you because you told me thirty minutes and I didn't hear back from you."

"Bey I'm so sorry. I hope you can forgive me."

"Who was the woman that answered your phone?"

I leaned back because nobody answered my phone.

"No woman answered my phone."

"Aries I hate liars. Just come clean. A woman answered your phone about twenty minutes ago."

"Did she tell you her name? My phone was in my jacket earlier and I haven't gotten any calls since then."

She finally opened her eyes.

"A woman answered your phone. I'm not crazy and you need to stop acting like I maybe. I played it off as if I was your doctor. If you want someone else or if you already do, just leave and we can chunk this up."

"I don't have anyone else or want some other woman, I want you."

"Then who the FUCK was the woman that answered your GOT DAMN phone!" She pulled the covers back and sat up. I could see she not only looked hurt but she was riled up.

I held my hands up in surrender. "I don't know what you are talking about." I grabbed my phone and the last missed called was hours ago.

"See the last call was hours ago when I was with AJ."

She grabbed her phone off the nightstand and typed something in. The screen appeared and she threw the phone at me which hit me in the chest. She definitely had some anger behind it.

"I called exactly twenty-nine minutes ago. The call lasted forty seven seconds and it wasn't your voicemail."

I picked up the phone and sure enough she had placed a call to me. I thought back being at Sharon's house. I had noticed that my phone was on her table when it should have been in my jacket. I couldn't imagine Sharon doing something like answering my phone without me knowing.

"Look Aries I don't want to be apart of any drama. As of now my life is drama free, maybe we are not ready to make this serious, we should just end whatever it is between us."

"No. I swear I lost track of time. You know how much I love children and when he asked me to show him a few moves I couldn't turn him down. You have to remember he and his friends live in Mall City. They don't have much and I just thought I could bring them a little ray of sunshine."

Her face soften looking at me. She shook her head.

"I'm glad to know that you were worried about me. That's real sexy you know."

"You're in the doghouse. You still didn't answer my question. Who answered your phone? You better think real hard and tell the truth. If you can't then you can leave." She raised up about to get out the bed but I stopped her.

"The only explanation is that AJ's mother must have answered. If she did I am truly sorry, because there is nothing between us."

"Isn't her name Sharon. She was the one talking all that noise at the game."

"Yes that is the one. I promise you have nothing to worry about. Believe me I don't want her, I only want you."

"Was AJ the only player you visited today?"

"Yes. I was talking to a Coach in Belfair that wants to coach him and I was telling his mom when he came in and he talked me into playing."

"Was this before or after I called?" Her arms were crossed as she was still furious.

"After you called. I thought I would only be a few minutes but I totally lost track. I'm not going to lie I enjoyed playing with them."

"You chose to play with them instead of playing with me."

"I'm so sorry. I was hoping you would still be wearing your costume. I saw the picture and believe me when I realized I had stayed too long, I stopped and got your favorite strawberry ice cream from ColdStone with big chunks of strawberries and whip cream."

"So you are trying to tempt me with ice cream when you should have been here?"

"I tried calling but you didn't answer."

"I know you did. Believe me you didn't want me to answer it or you wouldn't be here now."

I kneeled between her legs, kissing her on the exposed skin on her stomach. She didn't stop me which was a good sign. She reclined back on her arms and I kissed between her legs on the soft fabric. I raised up and her head was tilted back just a tad.

"Okay tell me what can I do to make this up to you. I will do whatever you want." I continued to kiss her between her legs and thighs.

"Whatever?"

"Anything."

"Are you truly sorry?"

"I am."

"I swear if I find out you were lying or keeping something from me, I will cut off your scrotum and feed it to you. Lorena Bobbitt will look like a saint."

"Well you can best believe, I'm not cheating. I rather think highly of my masculine parts."

She looked at me narrowing her eyes contemplating whether or not I was telling the truth. She turned her attention to my bare chest scrolling her hands down my stomach on to the loin cloth. Pushing her bottom lip between her teeth she raised up.

"You smell like Bath and Bodyworks, Ocean Melon & Mango soap."

"What?"

"We use it in the women's hospital shower after surgery. Why would you smell like that?"

Shit! "I bet you Denetra put it in my shower when she came over to the house the other day. She's always leaving stuff around my house. I probably picked it up not realizing it."

"Denetra your niece right?"

"Yeah. She's going through that preteen stage. Want to dress good, smell good and strut like she a baller. You know how you use to do."

"I remember. I had to dress as close to a supermodel because of my height, if not they use to call me Big Bird or Tree. Kids can be cruel."

"You're right kids can be cruel. The woman I see in front of me is intelligent, sexy as all get out, understanding, witty and compassionate, qualities that are hard to find these days." I rubbed my hands up and down her hips.

"We should start over. A clean slate. I don't want this to be our first argument as a couple. If you did something wrong you better tell me now. You tell her you are taken and it's over. If you have anything you want to tell me, you can tell me now."

"Nope. I will just make sure I have my phone on me at all times. I will call if I'm running late and not to promise things I can't deliver on. I want my girl to be happy and not cut off my package."

She giggled.

"Well I won't call Sean every five minutes so I'm cutting back from twenty times a day to five. You have to bear with me on that. When you both have a game against each other, I will sit on your side although I might have a spirit stick for Sean's team but I will only use it when they score. I'm trying to compromise, okay."

"I can see that and I appreciate that." I kissed her on the corner of the lips and she opened up where I didn't hold back. She accepted and I was ready to get down to business.

"Wow. You're so hot, I mean in a Sexy Bush Man way. Do you know how to use that spear," she said looking down and then rubbing up and down my chest.

"You best believe I do. Why don't I show you."

"Go get the ice cream. I need to see what all you can do. There are more strawberries and whip cream in the fridge."

She got out the bed headed towards the bathroom while I ran to the kitchen grabbing the ice cream, strawberries and whip cream. I walked back in the bedroom and she was wearing her Jane costume. Good gracious she was smoking. She had put some tribal designs on her face and arms really getting into character. Jungle music played in the background and a little monkey was on her shoulder.

"I had originally planned for us to be on the porch swinging."

"It's definitely not too late." I lifted her up and walked her back to the patio. She had purchased some tropical plants and had small twinkle lights strung up on the ceiling. I turned up the music a little along with the ceiling fans. I pulled back the blinds and pulled back the glass doors where the the moonlight shone on the pool. She turned on the pool lights and waterfalls. She definitely wanted her jungle delight.

Coming back from turning on the outdoor starry lights in her backyard oasis she started doing this tribal dirty dance. Her hips were moving, she was swinging her hair and crossing her arms. I kinda fell over in the hammock while she got on her knees and crawled over to me bucking her body. Slowly and seductively she sauntered towards me. She unpinned her hair letting her loose silky curls free while she slid her hands up my legs.

She was on her knees rubbing up and grabbing for her ultimate treasure. She didn't disppoint. She had me moaning and panting working her perfectly heart-shaped lips and her deep throat. I was about to spill but she stopped.

"Don't st...op," I whispered but she moved her finger from side to side saying no. She was going to torture me.

Standing up she moved her hips and began to grind her sex in my face. I placed my hands on each side of her hips.

She smile looking down at me placing her hands on each side of my face. I kissed and licked her up from her bellybutton leaving a warm trail up her stomach up to the bottom of the bra.

I dipped my finger below and she was more than ready like I was. I undid the ties on each side and the leather broke away from her body. Her landing strip was ready for my landing. She climbed in the hammock and got on top. I undid her bra and tossed it over on the chair. She laughed but it didn't last long before we were making our own music.

A few hours later the sun was making it's appearance. The array of natural golds, purples and pinks began to highlight the sky. We had both fallen asleep in each other's arms sticky from the whip cream, icecream and strawberries. We did manage to stay comfy in the hammock wrapped up in a blanket. Her face was buried in my chest and I brushed the stray curl away from her eyes.

I looked at my watch and I had an hour and a half before I had to catch my plane and leave for training camp.

"Is it time for you to leave?"

"Yeah, I have to go."

"Awe don't go," she kissed me in the middle of my chest.

"I have to but I will see you as soon as I can, plus I need you at the home opener. I need my good luck charm."

"So I need to get a jersey where I can wear it with my black tights and high top black chucks."

"Only when you are around me in private. Most girlfriends or wives dress to impress. I want my baby looking good."

"I go to games to be comfortable not to be uppity. I want to relax and enjoy nachos, beer and caramel popcorn or other delicious unhealthy snacks."

"We don't roll like that in the VIP Player Suites. There's a chef and bartenders to cater to your needs."

"Maybe I will do better on the fifty yard line front row or end zone."

"Nonsense I want to show you off plus I don't want to have to fight nobody messing with the sexiest woman there."

"I guess I can dress up a little."

"And you will look gorgeous I'm sure about that." I kissed her on the neck. She raised her head and kissed me on the lips. I went in and she deepened it. We started making out and soon she was on top riding me. I held on to her hips guiding her.

She moaned giving me more than I expected. I sucked on her breast and she rested her face on top of my forehead. She wanted it fast and hard and by all means she was taking her full. I couldn't hold it in watching her perform. Moments later I heard her last grunt and she fell on top of me.

"Glad my neighbors are a little ways from me or they would have heard you," she teased.

"I think that was the other way around my little Energizer Bunny."

"If you didn't have to leave we could have kept going and going and going."

We both laughed as she got up. She stood wrapping the blanket around her leaving me naked.

"Uhm, you are just going to leave me naked here?"

"I like looking at your naked body. It's sexy."

"It's a little cool out here."

"Here whinny baby," she said throwing the blanket back at me. She walked in the house naked.

"Go shower and I will make you some of those nasty egg whites and toast so you can get on the road."

"Thanks bey."

I went and showered. I put on my sweats and tennis shoes. When I walked in the kitchen she was putting the food on the plates. Her phone buzzed and she answered it.

"You are going to use all of them. Wow I'm shocked."

She smiled at me putting the skillet in the sink.

"You want me to come to Hawaii in two weeks. I don't know if I can do that. You do know I have a full time job?"

She sat next to me pouring some orange juice in our glasses.

"Wow that much and all my expenses?"

"Yes, Jason said he wants you there before the other models get there. He wants to introduce you to some people." I heard the person on the other line say.

"Can I call you back later on this afternoon? I need to rearrange some things. Okay, I will talk to you later."

She hung up a put her phone down.

"Well?" I asked.

"Remember I was telling you about the modeling thing I did before coming back here?"

"Yeah."

"The photographer Jason wants to use me in another shoot. I'm not a real model Aries."

"You may not be but you're beautiful inside and out. I could definitely see why he would want you to model again." She picked up her phone and started showing me pictures of the shoot she had done days ago.

"You and Sean?"
