Rescue My Daughter by Marva Smith (ebook reader for pc and android TXT) 📖

a paralegal at some law firm downtown right next to John's office. They met at a conference two-years ago, John couldn't resist her she was, smart, beautiful and sexy and she knew how handle his needs. Eliza had always been too conservative,

but she was the mother of his daughter and he couldn't abandon them.

He truly loved her but something has always been missing, Don felt he found the missing piece in long nights with Alohna.

 

"I'm going to have to go, it's late." He kissed her on her neck as he pulled away and sat on the edge of the bed to slip on his underwear and then he stood up to put on his pants. He reached across to lift up his shirt as it was draped across her chaise. She stood up on her knees.

 

"When will I see you again?" she asked as she moved her hair away from her face and began to pull it into a knot.

 

John turned as he buttoned up his shirt. "I really can't say, I

Promised Don I would take on some extra responsibilities at the club, and my-"wife?" John turned and looked at Alohna's eyes as they closed. Just go,John. She dismissed him with her hand and layed back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

 

John opened his mouth to speak but decided it would be better to leave in peace rather than they end in frustration.

 

He grabs his jacket he leans over her gives her a quick peck, as she turns her face toward the wall as her heart melts as she hears the sound of the door shut. What will it take for me to get this man to leave his wife and child? Alohna thought. I'm just wasting my life away on the only man I have ever loved. I could have any man I want? what is it about John Maxwell? Alohna shut the thoughts out of her mind as she wrapped herself underneath her covers.

 

"Hey, Don? What do you think about if I have the ladies, escorted in and then once they take the stage have the balloons come down and then start?"

Tony takes puff of his cigar as he awaits Don's response. Don's mind Is focused on other things, than tonight’s performance. He enters his office.

Tony follows.

 

"Don didja here me?"

 

"Yeah, I heard you Tony?you and Ralph do whatever you want?..I don't want to be bothered unless it is an emergency."

 

You alright Don? You look kind of pale, like you done seen a ghost or something, what is it?

Don looks up at Tony knowing he is just concerned after all Don is his only meal ticket, straight off the streets that's only resume Tony had before Don hired him. Don sighs. Tony, I'm fine. The idea sounds great.

Now I have to go through my mail.

 

Alright Don whatever you say, by the way have you seen Joel?

 

Yeah I saw him yesterday, why? Don still looking through his mail he did not even bother to look up at Tony for that response.

 

"Just asking, haven't seen him this morning that's all, usually he is hereto open up."

 

Can't really say , what has him delayed?.do you mind Tony I really need To go through this mail.

 

"Alright no problem, I'll be up front if you need me?..by the way I hired two new girls so you will see some unfamiliar faces alright?"

 

Yeah, alright Tony ok, good-bye. please.

 

Tony leaves as he enters the front of the bar. He catches Joel as he Is coming through the door with his briefcase in hand.

 

"Morning"

 

Morning Tony. Joel walks back to his office. Not so much as another Word spoken to Tony, he usually jokes about the girls, the songs or even complains for that matter, but this morning just a greeting and back to his office. Must be something in the water Tony thought to himself as he politely reached behind the bar, grabbed a glass and poured himself a drink. As he is doing so Ella comes through the front door and catches Tony.

 

Now Tony, you know we have to be careful, although we are back on our

Feet business is not like it used to be. She walks over places her purse

Behind the counter and takes the glass out of Tony's hand an pours it into the

sink.

 

"Ella! Whatcha doing? Tony frowns.

 

You know if my daddy sees you sippin' it won't be pretty either?. she Turns to wash her hands and then dryes them. You can thank me later. She Begins to set the glasses up and pull out the mixes for the drinks.

 

"anyway?..Tony lights his cigar once again. Like I was telling you father earlier we hired two new ladies so there will be to unfamiliar faces walking the bar and singing tonight." He takes a puff and exhales in Ella's direction on purpose.

 

"Oh yeah, what are the names of these two new freebies?"

 

Tony frowns. "Why do you always have to give them show names? He turns to face Ella.

Look there names are Tiffany and Jasmyne. I call them Tantalizing and Just Enough. Ella looks at Tony as he takes another puff of his cigar, you know what you are pathetic. How old are these girls?

 

Woman stop tripping, you know your daddy's rules. They have to be over 21 and participating by their own free will.

 

Just as Tony is speaking Joel comes out of his office. He walks over to Say a couple of words to Jema the pianist for the club.

 

Tony turns his stool around to face Ella. What's up with Joel?

 

What makes you think there is something up?

 

"Well he usually jokes around with me when he comes in, this morning he just spoke and went to office, he didn't he even have eye contact.

 

"Well, I know he and my sister have gotten back together, but other than that I have no clue, hopefully everything is up and up with them?..but with Zamera I couldn't tell ya. She places the glasses on the bar pole.

 

For real? No Stuff? Joel and Zamera? Back together again?.

And your father, he was kind of distant this morning?.but just more so Than usual I can tell something is on his mind. Tony turns and beckons Joel.

 

"Hey, Joel come here for a minute. Joel looks up from talking to Jema he says a couple of more words, Jema responds by nodding his head. Joel pats him on the shoulder and walks over to Tony.

 

"yeah, Tony what is it? Hey Ella." Joel glances at Ella as he speaks and then quickly turns his focus back on Tony.

 

"Congratulations!"

 

Joel looks confused. For what?

 

Tony slaps Joel on the knee jokingly. Zamera! Congrats! It's a good thing you two are back together.

 

Joel looks at Ella and gets up off of the bar stool. Thanks Tony, see You guys later. Joel walks back to his office.

 

"I told you, my sister has that affect on him?.we can get prepared for disaster. I know they love each other? but they go through some drama."

 

Tony waves his hand in unbelief. "Aaawh! They will be just fine, they just need to work out the kinks that's all. He takes another puff of his cigar. "Hey Jema, he gets up and goes over to the pianist. We need to discuss the music for tonight. Ella shakes her head as she picks up a scented candle to kill the odor of Tony's cigar.

 

The door opens and a woman wearing a lime green dress enters, spaghetti straps and hills. She walks over toward the bar and grabs a seat.

 

"Scotch on the rocks please" Ella mixes her drink.

 

"Technically we don't open until noon, but I will make this exception"

Ella smiles politely.

 

"Much ablidged" the woman responds. She smelled of sweet apples and she made direct eye contact whenever she spoke to Ella. Ella recognized a certain air about her. She had the look of money but something told Ella this woman struggled to get where she is by the way she speaks. Her Hair was long and dark she had a fair smooth complection, Ella could sense This woman was serious. One thing Ella couldn't figure out it was 77 Degrees outside and this woman was dressed up. She handed the Woman the glass of scotch.

 

"Thank you ma'am" the woman sipped her drink slowly as she eyed Jema who was playing the piano beautifully. Jema was light complected young man, extremely talented on the ivory's he had short curly wavy dark hair, beautiful hazel eyes. No one understood how come he was never married or had any children. He always wore nice clean suits light colors, white mostly, or pale blue. She looked at Ella. Who is the gentlemen on

the piano?

 

"Oh that's Jema, my uncle used to play for us until my mama passed then we got Jema. He is just a replica of my Uncle he taught Jema how to play."

Ella leaned across the bar as she looked at Jema play.

 

"Your uncle ha? The woman turned away from Ella to look back at Jema.

Whose your Uncle? The woman asked curiously.

 

"My uncle is Marcus Rhue, he has his own studio now so we don't see him much anymore, why do you ask" Ella begins to wipe the counter off.

Ella was opening up to this woman because she wanted the favor returned.

She was just itching to find out what brought her into The Kingsley Barr

Club

on a Saturday noonday. The woman nodded and took another sip of her drink.

She opened her clutch purse and handed Ella a twenty-dollar bill, the drink was only $4.50.

 

"Keep the change, sweetie it was a pleasure talking to you" She gets up to walk out just as Tony spots the woman and rushes over to Ella a moment

to late the woman exits the Barr. He flies to the open the door only to see nothing, the woman is not even in view. Tony comes back into the Barr and looks around he walks over to Ella. Who was that?

Ella shrugs her shoulders. You got me, she came in ordered a drink and left. Tony tilts his head upward in disbelief he knew Ella wanted him to probe her so she can make him feel worse.

 

"You know what? It doesn't even matter" Tony adjusted his jacket places his cigar back in his mouth and walks away.

 

Yes it does. Ella thought to herself as Tony walked away.

 

"Come on honey you are going to be late for school, where is your

backpack?" Maxey rushed as she slid on her lipstick and grabbed her purse.

She flew out of her bedroom and stood at the bottom of the steps and hollered up to her son. Rachino! Honey come on, what is taking you so long? You have been up there for hours? Is everything alright?

 

"Mom I'm coming I can't find my palm pilot".

Rachino replied as hastily came down the stairs latching his back pack.

 

"Well your teacher will just have to understand that sometimes these things happen." She ran her fingers through his curly dark hair trying to give some form. The curls just popped back into former position. "Ok come on we are out of here" Maxey closes the kitchen door as they go to the garage she unlocks the SUV and they stumble in she throws her purse on the floorand starts up the car. Rachino systematically clicks on his seat belt.

Then he begins to search through his back pack for his palm pilot.

 

"Oh Honey, don't worry about it" Maxey says as she turns to pull out

ofthe garage and they pull away.

 

"Mom, you don't understand. When you are unprepared it's a reflection onnot just me but you and Dad. Rachino continues to search in his back pack.

 

"Well honey, I understand what your saying but you know things happen to where there are going to be times when you are not prepared, then tell me how will you adjust in the situation?" Maxey says as she turns the corner and ramps onto the highway.

 

"Mom, I'm just trying to make a point. Aha! Here it is?thank
