My cousins May and June decided to join me in New York as they also searched for a job. It was the Great Depression and times were tough especially in the south. So their parents decided it would be best if they moved up north. We were busy getting ready for a party that Angela had invited us too and she was also getting ready in my apartment that Mr. Luciano was renting for me. We had not talked since my break down on his birthday which was two weeks ago. He had attempted to make conversion with me when I cleaned his room but I would just give him one-word answers. My apartment was filled with flowers he had been sending and my jewelry box was overflowing with jewels that he sent almost every day. But I didn't want all of that I wanted his heart but it seemed like he could never give me that and I was starting to rethink our relationship. I had just come out of the bathtub and I was in my bedroom standing in front of my vanity as I was lotioning my body when a knock came from the front door.
"Could someone please get that". I said rubbing lotion on my arms. I heard the door open and a deep voice spoke before there was a slight commotion.
"What are you doing here?". I heard Angela say.
"All you do is make her cry". She said and I opened the door to see who this person was and I felt my breath hitch when I saw who it was.
"Mr. Luciano". I breathed. I was hoping and praying he had come over to as me to be his squeeze. He would drop all his dames and I would be the only one.
"Its Charlie". He said.
"Its okay girls I will be fine". I said as I watched my cousins and Angela glaring daggers at him.
"We'll be here if you need anything". May said and I nodded opening the door to allow Mr. Luciano into my bedroom.
"If you are here about the apartment. I will be moving out very soon". I said moving back to my vanity.
"It ain't 'bout the apartment". He said.
"Why are you here then?". I asked as I started with my make up. I was dressed in my slip and I was naked underneath it.
"Ya friends don't like me much huh?". He said with a nervous chuckle trying to change the subject. I glared at him through the mirror and he cleared his throat.
"Angel listen". He said moving behind me.
"I thought we had a good thing goin' here. We agreed that it was just s*x". He said.
"We did and I realized that I can't do it anymore". I said.
"What do ya want me to do so ya can come back to me". He said.
"I want to be your only one. I want a serious courtship". I said and I watched him run a hand through his hair.
"I ain't that type of guy and ya know that". He said.
"Okay then. Leave". I said feeling my temper rise. He put his hands on my waist and brought me back closer to his front.
"I miss ya". He whispered into my ear as I felt his growing erection. He slowly kissed my neck whilst playing with my breasts and I moaned. He ground himself onto me before I heard his zipper open and his pants drop before I felt him enter me from behind.
"Charlie". I moaned throwing my head on his shoulder. He continued thrusting into me I watched him on the vanity mirror. His brows were furrowed in concentration and his face was turning slightly pink
"Charlie!". I moaned louder and he covered my mouth with his hand to quieten my moans since my friend and cousins were in the house. He continued thrusting until I came loudly. A knock came on the door and Charles smirked slipping out of me and I winced. He opened the door slightly.
"Is Victoria ready. We need to leave the party is about to start soon". Angela said.
"I'm sorry but Victoria can't join ya tonight, she's a little preoccupied". Charles said.
"Victoria where are you". She and I limped to the door.
"Are you not coming?". She asked and I shook my head.
"I'm sorry I need to do something". I said and she nodded.
"Be careful". She said glaring at Mr. Luciano before turning around and walking away. I closed the door behind me and he kissed me. We made love again and I snuggled up to him. I looked up at him observing his features.
"I have fallen in love with you". I said suddenly and I felt him stiffen.
"Charlie?". I said when he didn't answer.
"I have a box in my jacket. Its a necklace. Take it out and see if you like it". He was avoiding my statement. I wanted to cry as I got out of bed to get the necklace. Only if he could give me love as he did jewelry.
