" I found it in another lifetime. I spent a few years here both before and after my navy days." The bartender, a petite Chinese woman approached them ...nd Dutch ordered a pair of Jade Empress's."I don't get to order my own drink?" she said, teasing him."Normally yeah, you would. But right now I want you to forget your troubles by drinking one of these. It's called a Jade Empress. It's really Midori and coconut milk, and maybe some other secret ingredient."With her first sip, Rosa knew he was. "Melissa Stevens, I'm agent Johnson with the secret service. This is agent Brown." What's this about?" she asked. Johnson was a good looking muscular man in his mid fifties. Brown was older and very fat. He was also staring at her body. Melissa had showered, but not really bothered dressing to babysit. She was wearing a form hugging spaghetti strap top with a lacy black bra underneath. The top stopped about an inch above her belly button. She also had on sweat pants that rode low on her hips. After a couple of minutes, Eddie pulled his cheek away from mine, looked into my eyes and kissed me tenderly."Ready to go for our run?" Eddie asked.I smiled and nodded."Great, let's get dressed and go." Okay, Eddie." I sighed. "I love you too."After giving me another quick kiss, he got up and went to the bathroom. When he was finished, I went and then put on a pair of the shorts I wore for track and a matching sports bra. We headed out the door and began our run.As we traveled our normal. Do you stay by yo-self?”“Yes. I live alone.”“Dat’s wassup. I’ma prolyl spend a couple nights a week witchu.”“Sounds good.”“Hey, I just got off the exit.”“Dat’s wassup. Pull around to the back. You can park next to a red Nissan,” he said peering out the window.“Okay. What room?”“Bitch, I’ll tell you when you park.”“Okay, daddy.”Jeremiah pulled into the parking lot of the seedy motel. There were crack whores milling about and lots of Cadillacs & Crown Vics. He figured numerous Black men were here.
