Chapter 17

Victoria was asleep in my arms. I had fallen asleep as well, but woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating and couldn't go back to sleep. It was three in the morning and 4 was texting me. We've been texting for a while. She's been begging me to come over and sleep with her for the remainder of the night. I kept telling her I'd come over later on, but she wants me over now. I'll come over when I feel like it. I put my phone on the night stand and kissed Victoria on the forehead as I held her closer into me. I must admit, that was the best sex I've had in a while.

I woke up to find Victoria gone. Where could she be this early in the morning? I sat up and stretched then went to the bathroom to relieve myself. Once I was done, I walked downstairs to find Victoria in the kitchen wearing a white robe. Damn, she looked so sexy the morning after sex. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her neck.

"Morning." She smiled.

"Did you have a good birthday?"

"No," she sighed. "It was amazing."

I smiled, "That's good. What was your favorite part?"

She smiled and turned around, "you." She walked towards the living room with a bowl in her hand. I sat on the couch with her. "You forgot my strawberries last night." She popped a strawberry in her mouth and looked at me.

"I realize that... What'd you do after I went to sleep?"

"I ate 'em." She laughed.

"You ate them all?"

"No, I put them in the fridge when I was done."

"Oh."

"Yup." She brought a strawberry to my lips and smeared them with juice. She ate the strawberry, then kissed my lips. "Ooo, Michael." She made a face.

"What?"

"You stink." She giggled.

"Well, we had sex last night. I haven't had a chance to wash my balls yet, so I guess that explains it. You stink too, since you're talking."

"Nope, I took a shower." She bit into a strawberry. Damn, she sure does look sexy when she's eating on that strawberry. "I just didn't want to put any clothes on."

I peeked inside her robe, "I see." I smiled.

"Stop." She laughed, smacking my hand away.

"I just wanna see..." I smiled, peeking again.

"Youuuu need to shower, stinky." Victoria threw a strawberry at me.

"Come shower with me." I rubbed her leg.

"No, you need to get in the shower by yourself. You need to soak."

"I don't stink that bad."

"That's what you think."

I pulled her toward me by the tie in her robe, "Come with me, baby." I whispered.

"No, thank you." She smiled.

"You like torturing me, don't you?"

"Pretty much." She popped another strawberry in her mouth.

"You're bad." I smirked.

"Me? Bad? I swear you were the one who wrote a song about being bad." I laughed and stood to my feet. "Where ya goin'?"

"Going to take my 'stinky' self to the bathroom, so I can shower."

"Make sure you wash behind your ears!" She called after me as I made my way up the stairs. When I got up to our room, my phone was vibrating. I picked it up to find 4 calling.

"Yes?" I answered as I picked out some clothes to wear.

"How was your wife's birthday?" She asked.

"I didn't spend the day with her, but I had her all to myself last night."

"Why didn't you spend the day with her?" I sighed. Annoyance and jealousy began to rise because of what happened yesterday.

"She wanted to spend it with her beloved Joshua."

"Beloved?"

"They're best friends."

"Since when?"

"I don't know. I really couldn't care less."

"You're that jealous?" She laughed.

I paused, "...no."

"Yes, you are." She giggled."

"Whatever. What did you want?"

"Jeez, so mean. What? The sex wasn't good?"

"It was fantastic."

"Fantastic? Better than me?"

"Obviously." She bellowed in laughter. "You've got some nerve to be laughing." I sat on the bed.

"I'm sorry. It's just... never mind," 4 giggled. "anyway, what are your plans for the day?"

"I was going to see you, but I just changed my mind."

"Aww, okay. I'm sorry. I didn't-"

"Save it." I hung up and went to take a shower. I'm going to pay 1 a visit. I put my clothes on, sprayed on some cologne and went downstairs.

"Ooo, look at you, looking all sexy." Victoria smiled. I kissed her cheek, grabbed my keys and headed toward the door. "Where are you going?"

"I'll be back, baby." I replied.

"When? Because we're picking the boys up at four."

"I'll be back then, V." I smiled.

"You promise?"

"You have my word."

"Alright." She sighed and turned around. I ran up to her, kissed her again and made my way out.

When I arrived at 1's house, her car was parked in the drive way, which was rare, but okay. At least she's here. I was sort of worried she wouldn't be home. I parked my car and went to the front door. I knocked on the door and waited for her to answer. I just want to know why she blocked my number, then I'm gone. I heard someone approach the door. A tall, shirtless man opened the door.

I gave him a look, "who the fuck are you?"
