Jason woke up the next morning feeling groggy and stressed. His first thought was his sister. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed her number, hoping she will answer. It rang a couple of times then her voice came up on the other end. “Jason? Everything ok? It's early.”

“Janet, listen to me. Dan wants to make you partner with me to expand the company. He will try whatever it takes to get you to do it. I’m warning you now.” Janet cursed. “I told you not to trust him, Jason. That bastard! I’m coming there as soon as possible.”

“No Janet you can’t come here. Stay where you are for now. There is no telling what Dan will do if he found out you are here. Just lay low for a while. He told me he was going to see the voodoo princess soon. Something weird has happened to me and I need information.” She gasped with concern. “With our curse? Something happened?” He sighed, staring at his watch. “I promise to call you later on the details. I have a client in the next hour. Please be careful Janet.” She laughed softly. “Aren’t I always?” He smiled as he hung up the phone.

Melissa walked in with some breakfast then. “I’m glad you are up early today so this appointment won’t be late. You get to start your day anew I hope.” She placed his tray down with a smile. “I apologize for my behavior yesterday. It was rude and bad for business and I am sorry.” Jason nodded drinking the coffee she brought him. “How is Dan?” she asked, hopeful. “Dan is the same ole bitch he has always been. He acts like this curse is something to nationalize and profit from. Long story short, he wants to expand and make Janet the head doctor for the other facility.”

Melissa took a step back. “Damn that’s cold. He would sell his own daughter like that?” Jason glanced up at her. “You should know him better than me. Of course, he would. The bastard has no heart.” He stood naked and free in front of Melissa as he walked towards the bathroom. “Anyways who do we start the day off with?” He sounded as if he just wanted to get the day over with. After Alyssa, he didn’t know if sex with other women would ever be the same. He made it an agenda to contact her today no matter what. He had to see her again.

“At eight o clock, you have Amy Norton. At twelve you have Yolanda and Valerie.” Melissa replied, reading on her phone. “Ah, Yolanda and Val are today? It has been so long since I saw them last. How long did they pay for?”

“Two hours. One hour for each.” Jason nodded turning on the shower. “Good. I would love to catch up with them.” He replied, getting into the shower while Melissa stood outside watching him with lustful eyes. “Because you oh so love threesomes.” Jason paused washing himself to look at her accusingly. “Jealous are we?”

“Should I expect Miss Sampson today?” She replied rudely. The shower scene must have played over in her mind with jealousy. Jason sighed disappointedly. “I have my own plans for Miss Sampson. No need to worry your little head about her.” “Is she not coming back?” she almost sounded excited. “No she will be back, I will make sure of it. That will be all Melissa.” She frowned, pouting her over saturated lips.

“Jason this has got to stop. I can’t keep working here seeing you with all these women, especially with how you are treating Alyssa.” She touched the glass shower door. “We use to have such a good time me, you and Diamond.” Jason turned to her walking to the glass. “You mean before you got angry and tried to kill her? You are far too rash Melissa. Speaking of what you can’t take? I see it as punishments for your sins. I take full responsibility for fucking both of you and giving you both a false sense of love, but I won’t take responsibility for your actions.”

He stepped out of the shower walking close to her. “But don’t you think for a second you will hurt Alyssa or I swear to whoever you pray to I will make your life a living hell. Now get out of my house and get back to your job.” She stepped back as her back hit the wall to get away from his haunting gaze. “Jason…” Tears began to fall from her eyes.

“Leave, Melissa. Now.” With all the pride she had left, she stormed out of the bathroom. Jason sighed, holding his head in his hands. The curse was affecting more than his sex life, but the people around him. Melissa had been his friend at one point along with her lover, much like Valeria and Yolanda. He had to admit to himself he made plenty of mistakes going into this business, but he concluded in his mind he would learn from them and make things right with Alyssa.

It was a new Tuesday morning once Alyssa got back to work. She was all smiles and telling strangers good morning that she normally wouldn’t even talk to. “Ooohweee what has gotten into you today Alyssa?” Keisha asked, nudging her coworker Shay. “Right. I see a little bow leggedness going on here.” They teased. Alyssa laughed. “I am not walking any different.” She denied, still cheesing ear to ear as she sat at her desk. “So what happened? Was it worth the money?” Alyssa turned. “Yall are so nosy. Why would I even tell yall…”

Alyssa began to laugh at the look her coworker, Shay gave her. “Stop looking at me like that.” Shay moved then. “It’s ok you don’t have to tell us, we know by your glow. You are glowing.” Alyssa held her cheeks. “I don’t feel any different.” She lied. “Are you going back?” Keisha asked. Alyssa sighed with the number still burning on her phone.

She wanted to go back but wasn’t sure if it was too soon or should she even call him. Jason was a ladies man. She doubted he would really want to talk to just her out of all the other women he had lined up. No matter how much she may have wanted to call him, she refused to become those crazed women, like Tracy, whose lives were ruined by mere dick. Even though it was the best dick in life, she couldn’t steep that low. She was selfish and would be jealous if she was to ever date a guy like Jason.

Women were just play things to men like him. She respected herself enough to want a real relationship were her penis would only be hers. Still, he was nice to think about. He was damned nice to dream about. “It was nice though.” She murmured to herself. Shay looked over at her. “What you say?” She laughed, already realizing what she said. Alyssa’s face turned red as she blushed. “It was nice.” She couldn’t hold it in anymore. Shay and Keisha got close to listen to her story. “How big was he?” “Was it painful? Mines was.” All type of questions shot out of their mouths at once.

“Ok ok. Yes, it did hurt at first but he was gentle and asked me if I was ok before he…” Her body felt on fire just thinking about being pressed against the window. “Wow he really is a gentleman, I heard he was an asshole,” Keisha replied. “Who told you that?” Alyssa began to become offended at the remark. Shay laughed. “Protective much?” Alyssa had to set the rumors straight. “Well maybe he had a good reason to be rude to those other women, but he wasn’t to me.”

She wanted to say bitches but didn’t want to give herself away too much. Especially as angry as she was about the secretary. “Just be careful. Women usually fall victims to their first.” Shay warned. Alyssa began to get upset. “Why would you want me to go then? It’s way too late to warn me now.” Shay opened her mouth to speak but was silenced as Alyssa stood from her desk walking off. Shay looked at Keisha as if she didn’t know she said something wrong. “I think you are too late,” Keisha replied to Shay.
