Chapter 13
A hot shower and a bed was all that Kia craved. After dropping Keller off at Tessa’s house, she filled her gas tank up and headed home. Andre called to make sure that she was straight and she assured him that she was. He knew not to call or text once she got inside because Jaden was nobody to play with. Andre claimed he wasn’t scared of anybody, but she could guarantee that he’d never met anybody like Jaden Andrews. Some battles just weren’t worth fighting and that was one of them. She felt bad about creeping on Jaden, but she was sick of his shit. He did whatever he wanted to do whenever he felt like doing it, and she was tired of sitting back taking it. For some strange reason, she felt like she was getting back at him for the all the times that he cheated on her. It was childish as hell, but it felt damn good. Even still, Kia could never see herself leaving her first love. As crazy as he was, Jaden was good to her and their daughter. If only he could keep his dick in his pants, he would be the perfect mate.
“God, Jaden, it’s freezing in here,” Kia said when she entered the house.
She found Jaden relaxing on the sofa with a beer, like he didn’t feel a thing. She walked down the hall to check on her daughter and make sure that she was properly covered up. When she saw that Jaylynn wasn’t in her bed, she assumed that she’d fallen asleep in theirs.
“Is Jay in our bed?” Kia asked.
“Nah, she’s staying the night with Bryce and Taylor,” Jaden replied as he walked over to her. Kia tensed up when he pulled her into a hug because she didn’t know how far he wanted to go. She couldn’t have sex with Jaden while she still had another man’s scent on her. She and Andre didn’t have sex, but there was still some form of intimacy that took place. 
“I need to take a shower. You wanna watch a movie when I’m done?” Kia asked, trying to distract him from wanting sex.
“Yeah, that’s cool,” Jaden replied while giving her a peck on her lips. Kia was nervous, even though she tried her best to hide it. He knew her like a book, so there was no need for her to pretend. He sensed it the minute she entered the house.
“You gotta turn that air down baby. I’ll catch a cold if I get out of the shower and it’s freezing like this,” Kia said as she walked away to their bedroom.
Jaden watched as she stripped down out of everything that she had on and went to the bathroom. He got heated, just imagining another man being somewhere that only he’d had the privilege of being. It infuriated him to know that another man had even seen her naked. The first one didn’t live to tell about it, but this new nigga was a new problem for him. No matter how much dirt Jaden did, he was selfish when it came to Kia. As soon as she walked into the bathroom, Jaden grabbed her phone and unlocked it. Kia was known for taking long showers because she listened to her music while she did. Jaden had purchased her a shower head with a built-in Bluetooth. She kept her iPod in the bathroom cabinet, so she always turned it on before she took her showers.
“Slick ass bitch,” Jaden said as he scrolled through Kia’s phone.
She had her co-worker Andrea’s name in the phone twice, with two different phone numbers. It didn’t take long for Jaden to figure out who the real Andrea was and who was the decoy. Kia and her co-worker, Andrea, only talked about work. The other number that was saved under her name was a different story. According to those messages, Kia and ole boy had hooked up at least two other times besides that night. That was who she had been with when she claimed to have been with her friends from work the two weekends prior. Jaden went through every message between the two of them and got madder with each one that he read. It wasn’t until he got to the most current ones that he really got heated. The nigga was telling Kia that he loved how she tasted, but he was ready to take it to the next level. Jaden was happy that she didn’t have sex with him, but he was still pissed that she even let him go down on her. Oral sex was Kia’s weakness and Jaden knew that. That’s why he made it his business to please her orally, even on the days that they didn’t have sex. He didn’t want her to go out and get it from another man, but she ended up doing that anyway on more than one occasion. He even got her right before she left, but that obviously wasn’t enough for her hot ass.
“Corny ass nigga,” Jaden mumbled as he continued to read the messages. He chuckled when he read the part about him telling Kia that she tasted like a bag of Skittles. That was some shit that grown men just didn’t say. After having read enough, Jaden was ready to get down to business. He went to their storage closet out back and grabbed the commercial blower. He had their central air turned on fifty, but he turned it to forty when he got back inside. After plugging the blower up to a long extension cord, Jaden grabbed the broom and unscrewed the stick from the brush. Armed with the stick in one hand and the blower in the other, Jaden opened the bathroom door and walked in. Kia had the music up loud, as she sang along with Chris Brown’s Royalty album. Jaden took the broom stick and jammed one side of the shower door so that only one side could fully open. Kia’s eyes were closed when he opened the other side of the glass door and that was perfect for him. After turning the blower on high, Jaden turned off the hot water and pointed the blower directly towards Kia’s naked boy.
“Ooooh, shit! Jaden, the hot water went out!” Kia screamed. She had moisturizer covering her face and eyes, so she didn’t even realize what was going on.
“I turned it off. Your hot pussy ass need to cool down,” Jaden replied.
“Wh... what are you talking about?” Kia asked as she shivered and reached for her towel to wipe her face. Once she saw what was going on, she backed away and tried to get out from the opposite end of the shower.
“Don’t even try it. This is your only way out and that ain’t happening either,” Jaden taunted.
“Oh, my God, Jaden. Turn that blower off. Are you fucking crazy?”
“Yeah, but you already knew that. So, tell me, Kia; where were you tonight?” he asked her.
“I already told you where I was,” she replied as her teeth chattered.
“Wrong answer!” Jaden yelled as he pointed the water nozzle at her, spraying her with the freezing cold water.
“Ahh! Okay, I was with my co-worker,” Kia said barely above a whisper.
“Keep going, I’m listening,” Jaden demanded.
“Nothing happened Jaden, I swear!” Kia yelled.
“Keep lying to me if you want to. I’ll have your hot ass laid up in the hospital with pneumonia. I’ll come visit your ass every day like I don’t know what the fuck happened to you,” Jaden threatened.
“I didn’t have sex with him,” Kia blurted out.
“I already know that; I checked your phone. I wanna know who this nigga is and how long you been dealing with his ass.”
“His name is Andre and he’s a surgical tech at the hospital. We always eat lunch together and he asked me out to dinner,” Kia answered in a hurry.
“Andre, huh?” Jaden smirked at how close his name really was to Andrea’s
“Yes, that’s his name, I swear!” Kia yelled.
“So, you going on dates and shit like you ain’t got a man at home. What kind of bullshit is that? Nigga talking about you taste like candy and shit.”
“I’m sorry Jaden. Just please turn off the water and that blower,” Kia begged as she shivered like crazy.
Since Jaden had all the information that he needed, he turned the water and blower off. He threw Kia a big towel and watched as she hurriedly covered up her wet, cold body. Her bottom lip was trembling and tears were pouring from her eyes.
“And don’t even think about looking for that phone. How the fuck you gon’ talk to another nigga on some shit that I pay the bill on? You got me fucked up,” Jaden fumed as he walked away and slammed the door behind him.
Usually, Kia would be yelling for him to get out, but she was in the wrong that time. She knew that what she and Andre had wouldn’t last forever, but she didn’t think it would end the way it did. She really wanted to apologize to Jaden again, but he was too pissed off for her to approach him. Once she dried herself off, Kia slipped on a pair of long sleeved pajamas and cuddled under the covers. She knew that Andre would probably text her before the weekend was over. Unfortunately, it would be Jaden that got the messages instead of her.
