“Sins of a Delicate Nature”Written By Cynthia Brooks2876 Old Pelham Rd.Pelham, GA 31779(229) 294-0602cyntdb@hotmail.comChapter 1Ta’Lisa BrownThings at Fellowship Industries had already begun to heat up. So far, twentyworkers had been laid off and 480 were slated to go over the next year and a half.Ta’Lisa Brown hoped she would not be in that number. Tonight she wanted to forgetall about it and party. She decided to go check out Visions in downtown Atlanta.Ta’Lisa was dressed in a sheer red Cheongsam dress and red thong and bra set. Sheloved the attention she received when she dressed provocative. This usually meantshe had gone all out. Ta’Lisa, five-foot ten, in her stocking feet, weighed about170 pounds - none of which was fat. She had abs to die for and a butt from whichyou could bounce a quarter. Flaunting her five-foot ten-inch frame, wearing apair of three-inch heels, Ta’Lisa dropped into several different clubs to get herweekend kick. She lived for the attention of the men and loved the way the womenturned up their noses at her.As she entered Club Visions, she noticed the crowd looked a little young for hertaste. She decided to get a drink and go where the grown and sexy hung out.Ta’Lisa loved to make a scene so when the D.J. played a Jamaican song; she went tothe dance floor and began dancing a slow grind. The other people dancing movedback and let her dance. She had the attention of the whole club. The feeling wasintoxicating; she could feel the men’s stares raking over her body. As shedanced, the heat from the lights began to make her sweat. Beads of sweat trickleddown her back making her arch her back like a wanton lover responding to herlover’s touch. Her jet-black long wavy hair had begun to stick to the sides ofher face. She quickly wiped her face; she was enslaved to the music and had tokeep her pace. Ta’Lisa danced for what seemed like hours, but when at last thesong came to a quick halt, she composed herself and walked off the floor. Notlooking back, she grabbed her wrap and purse and headed out the door. “So muchfor that,” she said aloud with a wicked grin. As she reached her car, she noticeda large line forming at Club 112 across the street and decided to walk over thereto see what all the fuss was about. She had never been to that particular club,but had heard rumors and she wanted to see what it was like.She headed to the front of the line and asked a man wearing a very nice Armanisuit for the time. “It’s a quarter to midnight,” he said looking at his watch.When he looked up, he gasped. “Wow, um are you here alone?” he asked surveyingthe line. “Very much so,” she replied. “Well be my guest,” he said extending his

hand to her. “Don’t mind if I do,” she said smiling. The women waiting in linebehind her began complaining under their breath. Ta’Lisa turned and looked atthem. She rolled her eyes and turned around.Quickly getting rid of Mr. Armani suit once inside the Club, Ta’Lisa beganchecking out the crowd. Every one was dressed to impress. She knew she made theright choice; she was very impressed with the layout and the crowd in Club 112.She made a mental note to come back next weekend. Ta’Lisa drank down two LongIsland Ice Teas and was about to make her way to the dance floor when she spotteda very nice looking brother and his friends checking her out from across the room.She walked up and singled out the tall thick brother wearing the Bijan suit.Ta’Lisa smiled to herself as she checked out the design of the suit. “Hello, myname is Ta’Lisa, would you care to dance?” she asked with a seductive smile.“Hello, Ta’Lisa, my name is Cedrick, sure I’d love to dance,” he replied smiling.They danced for quite a while and after they finished the last slow dance,Ta’Lisa realized the time had passed. “Well lover boy unless you’re going homewith me, it’s time for all good little girls to go home. I have already overstayed my welcome. Plus I have a very early day ahead of me. Thank you fordancing with me,” she said with a grin as she walked away. “Was that aninvitation?” he asked following her off the dance floor. “Take it like you wantto, you’re a big boy,” she said without turning around. “Hey, why so cold? Ithought we had a pretty good time tonight, let’s not spoil it now,” he whined.“Well Cedrick, you can stand here jaw jacking all night, or you can get directionsto my place and meet me at my house; it’s on you,” she replied now facing him.With that, she walked out the door. Cedrick rushed over to where his friendswere, grabbed his coat and hurried out the door behind the woman who held his mindcaptive. He caught up with her as she crossed the street. They exchanged cellnumbers and he got the address to her place. Cedrick really did not feel likedriving all the way to College Park tonight but he could not get her out of hismind.He decided to go; she was a beautiful woman, long, sexy legs, jet-black hair andeyes that dipped down in the corners just enough to make you question herheritage. As he was about to pull out of the parking lot his friend Jeff tappedon his window, snatching his attention from his thoughts of her. “Yea, manwhat’s up?” he asked half-disappointed and somewhat relieved. “Man I know you arenot about to leave already,” Jeff said with a smirk. “And I know you aren’tchasing that skirt you been grinding on all night.” “Ah, come on man, you saw howfine she was, you have to admit that woman is hot,” he replied.“Man I’m just going to College Park for a little night cap and some well worthwhile conversation,” he added. “Come on Cedrick, you know the type, man thatwoman ain’t nothing but a gold digger and you know it,” Jeff said in a huff.“Look Jeff, hit me on my hip around 3:00 or 3:30 man, and then if you stillhaven’t heard from me call my cell. I’m not going do anything stupid man, trustme,” he replied. “Alright man, be safe,” he said walking back towards the club.Once Jeff walked away, Cedrick turned off both his cell phone and his pager andpulled out of the parking lot. As he was driving down I-295 he couldn’t doanything but think about her, she was beautiful. His wife of 4 years had veryshort hair. He really loved it on her, but couldn’t help being intrigued with thelong, soft-as-sable hair that hung seemingly endless from Ta’Lisa’s head.Checking the time, Cedrick knew he had just a couple of hours to spend withTa’Lisa, but he had to be careful. He didn’t want to get caught-up tonight. Hiswife knew his Friday night ritual, he would party all night long with his friends,and then his family would have his undivided attention for the rest of theweekend. Cedrick knew she was out of his league, she a beautiful wild stallion,one that would challenge even the most experienced Equestrian. Nevertheless, hefelt he had to have her, but was he willing to sacrifice his family to have her?That question was eating away at him.He found her place rather quickly; it was a very beautiful complex, with lovelylandscaping. The parking lot was well lit, and the parking garage for the tenants

had an all night attendant as well. As he looked up, he could see that theyseemed to have enormous balconies and he imagined them kissing out there under amoon lit night. Cedrick walked into the building and pushed the elevator for the17th floor, but the door remained opened. As he stepped off the elevator, thedoor attendant was quickly approaching him. “There seems to be something wrongwith elevator, I pushed the button and the door wouldn’t shut,” he said to thedoor attendant. “Yes sir, the occupant has to buzz you up,” he replied. “Oh, mybad,” he replied. “No problem sir, who are you here to see?” the door attendantasked. “Oh yea, Ta’Lisa. Ta’Lisa Brown,” he answered. “Whom may Isay is calling?” the door attendant asked. “Cedrick,” he replied.The door attendant picked up the receiver and called to her apartment. “Ma’amthere is a Cedrick here to see you, may I send him up?” he asked. Once hereplaced the receiver, he told Cedrick she wanted him to come right up. Cedrickstepped on the elevator and took it to the 17th floor. When he stepped off theelevator, he began looking for the number of the apartment, since he couldn’t findany apartment numbers he started back to the elevator, then he heard her call hisname. He turned and she was standing there in a long black sheer robe withnothing on under it. “Leaving already?” she asked seductively. “No…I couldn’tfind the apartment number, so I was on my way back down to the door attendant tofind out where you lived,” he replied. “It’s over here,” she said as she pointeddown to the doormat. His eyes followed where she was pointing and he replied,“Oh, I wouldn’t have ever guessed it would be on the doormat. That’s pretty neat,although if you don’t know where you’re going you could easily get confused,” headded. Once inside the apartment, Cedrick could not believe his eyes - theapartment was huge inside. The entertainment center, silver with black smokedglass, took up the back wall of her living room. The black leather sofa andchaise lounge were geometric in shape, like nothing he had ever seen. Her placewas just as different as she was. The surround sound was blasting an instrumentalversion of George Duke’s classic No Rhyme No Reason.Ta’Lisa poured them both a glass of wine. She changed the music with a remotecontrol and the next sound he heard was Bob Marley singing something in a dialecthe wasn’t sure how to translate. He watched as she got into the music, as herbody began gyrating in slow deep circles. Ta’Lisa let her robe fall around herankles as she placed a foot on his knee. Cedrick watched her contort her writhingbody in a manner he’d never known the female or any other body capable of doing.She danced until Cedrick couldn’t take it any more. Standing and taking off hiscoat, Cedrick grabbed Ta’Lisa and lifted her off the ground, laying her on thecouch. He looked deep into her eyes and smiled.“Just how long were you planning on teasing me,” he asked. “Not thatlong, I was waiting for you to respond, hell the song was almost over,” she saidgiggling.After they shared a brief laugh, Ta’Lisa grabbed his hand and walked him towardsthe bedroom. Once inside the bedroom he was amazed, she had really out doneherself. There was a netted canopy with vines covering the huge four-poster bed.Cedrick loved the décor, it was befitting to the beautiful black stallion she was.After Cedrick undressed, the next few hours were anything but disappointing.Cedrick laid thinking about the situation, trying to see how it differed from anyother in the past. Although he couldn’t really differentiate one from the other,he knew there was something special about her.“Hey, what time is it,” he asked. Ta’Lisa lifted her head and looked at theclock opposite her on the nightstand. “It’s 4:45,” she replied. Cedrick rolledover on top of Ta’Lisa who was barely awake and said, “I have plenty of time forround three, if you’re up for it.” “No, I really need to be getting up, I haveto be at work by 6:30,” she replied. Cedrick got out of bed, grabbed his clothesand headed to the bathroom, as he turned on the light; Ta’Lisa covered her headwith the pillow. Once inside the bathroom Cedrick was pleasantly surprised at howbeautiful this room was as well. The bathroom was about the same size of his
