Teaching Him

Chapter 19

"Where are you going, Sulem? Dressed like that." Gina asked as she moved her feet to the couch.

"I'm going to surf."

Gina raised a brow. "You can surf?"

Sulem chuckled a bit. "No, I wish. I'm about to learn how though. You want to come?"

Gina thought for a moment. Fiona and Marina went out to get their nails done and Gina didn't really want to go and do that. It makes no sense to go and get your nails done when there already done. She would just be sitting off to the side, reading through a magazine. She preferred if she stay on the room.

But surfing did not sound to be bad. Finally coming to a decision, Gina sat the magazine down and went to go change in her swimsuit.

Waiting patiently, Sulem went to go get a bottle of water and just then her phone went off. She walked into the living area and grabbed it off the charger.

Unknown Caller

Sulem slide the green icon over and held the phone to her ear.

"Hello?"

"......."

"Hello?"

The call ended and Sulem took the phone from her ear and looked at as confusion washed over her face.

She shook it off and was about to say her phone down until it went off again. Her frowned deepened when saw it was the same thing.

Unknown Caller

"What the..." she mumbled and something told her to not answer the phone but she went against her conscious and answered her phone again.

"Who is this?"

"We'll see each other very soon." A unfamiliar voice spoke into the phone.

The person ended the call, leaving Sulem in a bowl of confusion. Just then Gina came out in a see through dress.

"Who was that?" She questioned when she saw Sulem hiding her phone and getting her shoes on.

"I-I don't know, just the wrong number." Sulem said.

She didn't know who it was but she was going to put it to the back of her mind.

"You ready?" Sulem asked.

"Yes, lets go." 

****

"Do you see any waves!" Sulem heard Gina shout. She was just now getting into the nice ocean water.

To be quite honest, Gina was a bit scared. She didn't do the deep water and just imagine— a shark.

She would have a heart attack.

But she wasn't going to let that bother her. She wanted to have fun and enjoy her time over the next few days.

"You don't have to be out here if you don't want to." Sulem said as she watched a fear like expression on Gina's face.

"W-What makes y-you think I don't want to b-be out he-here?" Gina said with nervousness evident in her voice.

Sulem smiled and looked off to the water, trying not to laugh.

"Any waves?" Gina asked slowly sitting up on the surf board.

"There is But there so small I can't even surf on them. But I have no complaint, the water feels nice."

Sulem spoke as she watched Gina clutch the board with her nude colored finger nails.

"I really think you should go back to the beach." Sulem said with concern in her voice.

"I'm fine, Su. I'm a big girl. I can swim."

Sulem chuckled a bit. "What ever you say."

****

Marina sat down at the bar and waited on Tasha and her surprise guess. She couldn't believe she was really helping her.

Plotting against her best friend.

She know if Sulem found out, Sulem would not hesitate to cut her off or even worse do something out of her element.

Sulem might be kind hearted but it only so much a girl can take. Sulem is not as innocent as everyone seems.

Thinking even harder on the situation, Marina saw Tasha walk in with a muscular man that had his hat low to were you couldn't see his face.

"Hello, ill have whatever she has." Tasha told the bartender.

"Marina."

"Tasha." Said not bothering to look at her. She was still feeling guilty for helping Tasha get rid of her.

"Meet my guest of honor." Tasha gestured and the look of shock appeared on Marina's face.

"Miguel...."

Oh my......

"Miguel?" Marina looked shocked and confused.

"I've decided that we are starting the plan before you all leave, your little girls trip." Tasha smirked before taking the the drink the bartender set on the counter.

"Why move it up?"

"Because I heard that Chris and Sulem are back together." Tasha hissed in pleasure as the nice stinging drink slid down her throat.

Marina stayed silent and turned away from her, facing the counter of the bar.

"You didn't think to tell me when we met last time?" Tasha felt herself get mad. She took a seat next to Marina and faced the counter.

"We had a deal."

"I know Tasha. It's hard because she is my best friend and a sister to me—"

"Does it look like I give any fvcks? You do your part and I'll do mine. If you don't there will be consequences." She stated firmly.

Marina sighed in defeat and nodded her head.

I'm so sorry, Sulem...

"Now as I explained everything to you I did to him. My brother is back in Atlanta taking care of my future husband's sister. My friend Miguel here will be taking care of Sulem. But he knows not to put his hands on her." Tasha said giving Miguel a look.

"I understand." Miguel lied. He wanted to do more than put his hands on her.

Tasha turned back to Marina. "And you will take care of them two rats y'all flew out here."

Marina nodded before asking, "And what about Chris?"

Tasha smirk, "I got him. He will be so happy when we talk about our future."

Marina just looked at Tasha. Even though she was helping Tasha she know the girl needed help. She was helping her get out of debt and she offered.

"Let the plan be set in motion..."

Back in Atlanta

Ryan just got out the car and locked her doors. She headed inside her nice apartment and closed and locked the door behind her.

Wondering why she had an apartment and not a big gorgeous house. She wanted to save her money and use it if it comes in need. Plus she did not have to have a gigantic house such as her brother. It was only her anyway.

She placed her keys and the bags on the counter and took off her jacket. She went up the stairs and opened her room door.

Reaching over she turned on the light and stopped when she saw a unfamiliar man on her bed. He had on a black hoodie and you could barely see his face. Her eyes then focused on the syringe that was in his hand.

Doing her first instinct that came to mind, running.

She hurried down the stairs and attempted to grab her car keys but she was too late. The man grabbed her and pushed her on the counter were her back hit the edge.

The man trapped her as she struggled to get from beneath him. "Your making this very hard for me." He said in a raspy voice.

"Please...I-I don't have anything. Take anything you want just don't hurt me." Ryan cried as she looked up and met his nice looking hazel green eyes. But the mat didn't keep her from struggling.

The man above her stopped what he was doing and looked down at her. He couldn't help but take in her beautiful toned skin. She was truly beautiful and he couldn't understand why he was doing this either.

But he had to follow through with the plan.....

"I'm sorry." He mumbled before keeping her still and pushing the needle in her tone skin of a neck.

Gasping at the sudden action she felt the liquid enter her body and traveling fast through her blood system. She leaned over and the man caught her before she hit the floor. He threw her over his shoulder before grabbing what he needed and walking out her apartment....

Back in Miami, Florida

"This house is 6045 ft sq with 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms including 3 car gar...." the nice woman explained as Chris and Sulem followed behind her hand in hand.

Chris was checking out nice houses here and he needed to find a place ASAP.

"This is nice." Sulem said as she looked around the nice design.

"Very, I would buy this house if I were you." The woman named Rita said.

"And outside—" Sulem phone cut her sentence short as she felt her phone go off.

Sulem pulled it out her pocket and seen it was Reynolds. She looked at Chris and he nodded for her to go ahead and take the call.

"I'll be back." She pecked his lips which caused Rita to cringe.

Sulem walked away to answer her phone while Rita showed Chris other places in the house.

"So how much would this cost me?"

Rita smirked, "About 20,000 thousand."

Chris raised a brow. "For a house like this?" Thats good. He thought it would be higher than that. Not that he couldn't afford because with all his money, he could buy two more houses such as this.

"So Chris..." she touched his arm and trailed her manicured red nails down his arm. "Is She your girlfriend?"

Chris immediately knew were this would lead, "No" he said before continuing. "Why do you want know?"

She bit her lip and smirked. "Because...." she leaned in so close to him were her face was in his view only. "I want to know if you will allow me to—"

Chris backed away from her with a smirk on his face. "You really are just like the rest." He said which made her frown.

"That beautiful woman I came here with today is my wife." E said before continuing. "I think we've seen what we needed to see. I'll call your boss who so happens to be a friend of mine. On what decision me and my wife."

She stood in shock and Chris turned back to go find Sulem. He walked out the house and found her just now ending the call. She turned with a smile on her face.

"What happened with the call."

"I am officially back to my miracle working habits." He smiled and threw a arm over Sulem as they walked to his car.

"That's great news, Sulem ."

Sulem shook her head, "Don't act like you didn't have some choice of words with him." Chris chuckled as they continued down the nice pavement.

"So what did Rita say?"

"It cost 20 thousand and that is not a bad price for a house like that. I assumed it would cost more."

Sulem nodded before asking, "So you'll give them a call?"

"Yeah but I might just have to get it. My options are low."

"Well I hope you get it. It's a beautiful house."

Chris smiled down at her, "Your more beautiful than the house."

Sulem felt her cheeks heat up as she looked off. Chris smiled and kissed her temple.

Beautiful
