"What's this?" I asked fifteen minutes later finding a gift bag on her kitchen table.
Both women seemed to be waiting for me. Rashida was still wearing her friend's bathrobe. I'd changed into Jaquan's surrendered clothing.
"Open it."
I was worried for a split second that I would find either Jaquan or Yoli's severed head in the bag. Instead I found a brand-new laptop and another mini camera. There was also some sort of chest harness in the bag.
"What's this for, Renee?"
"We got off to a rocky start, but I gotta admit you're my nigga. I wanted to show my appreciation and apologize for putting that minty shit all over your junk a few days ago. Besides, you deserve something nice for being a good guy."
Both women leaned in giving me each a kiss on each cheek. I felt a wave of emotion well up inside me glancing at both of them before dipping down to the tabletop.
"He so cute." Rashida commented smiling while nursing a mug of cola.
"So, I want you to do something with this instead of fucking around on that website." Renee instructed drinking from her own mug.
"What?"
"Build a website for my girl here; and make your money without someone's hand in your back pocket. For every dollar you get, that host site gets two and you got the smoke with Rashida, right here." I couldn't stifle a wide gregarious grin at her suggestion.
"What?" Both women looked at one another before regarding me.
"I got an idea."
**BEGINNING OF VOLUME TWO**
MAXIMUM BADONKADONK
I sat at Renee's kitchen table with a wry smile on my face as both women watched my expression change. My eyes darted back and forth between them from Renee's pale exotic countenance to Rashida's smoldering earthen beauty. They were a contrast, two extremes at the opposite ends of one another. Comically, both women took sips from their mugs at the same time, regarding me.
"What you looking at me for, I'm ain't doing porn." Renee said out of nowhere drawing her friend's attention.
"Well, he was looking at me, too; you trying to throw shade on my bag, huh?"
Rashida acknowledged the subtle dig at her side hustle.
"I brought him that computer so that he could help you secure the fucking bag."
"But I'm a porn star, right?"
"Star?" Renee comedically raised her eyebrows completely trolling her best friend as I opened my laptop knowing where things were going.
"Bitch." Rashida's brow furrowed giving me the idea that maybe her screen name referred to her temper. Renee took another sip, her slanted eyes narrowing as she slowly sat her mug on the table. It was time for me to intervene.
"LADIES, I WAS THINKING OF A WAY TO PROMOTE THE NEW SITE; I WASN'T LOOKING AT YOU RENEE, SO CHILL PLEASE!! RASHIDA YOU'RE NOT A STAR; YOU A SUPERSTAR!!" I wasn't looking at their faces, still looking over the attached manual for my new laptop. Seconds later, both women chuckled.
"You think you slick, huh little nigga?" Rashida mused.
"I'm taller than you."
"You know what I mean, asshole." She chuckled again as her friend leaned forward resting her elbow on the table. Her chin rested on her fist watching both of us.
"Stop calling me that word, too." I knew it was futile trying to get her to stop using the N-Word, but I tried anyway.
"Oh what is that; you don't want a new laptop and state of the art equipment, nigga?" Renee perked up, straightening her back unintentionally making her breasts bulge outward. I couldn't help ogling her equipment which made her laugh and palm the back of my head with a loud slap.
"Oh you don't want another fluid stream of liquid income along with your girl who's about to get big with all that monster ass, huh Renee?"
"I think he's been spending too much time with you girlfriend." Rashida commented.
"If you wouldn't have been skittish, we would've got there sooner." Renee replied full of trademark snark.
"He fucked Mintzy; that's nasty."
"Nasty, didn't I just catch you two niggas fucking on my damn floor, eh? He was balls deep in the back fucking door, wasn't he Rashida? Why don't you admit you wanted a piece when you saw him handling my Mintzy's old ass like a boss.? Stop faking the funk!" Renee never failed to disappoint verbally. I doubt Rashida even realized she was being dressed down for a few moments.
"Why you gotta put me on blast?"
"It's not like that, you're my girl for real; that being said, I'm disappointed."
"DISAPPOINTED?!!" Both of us blurted out at the same time.
"Yeah, you guys didn't shoot nothing."
"I'm just the talent so you should be directing those salty comments at the director, shouldn't you?"
I smiled at her acknowledgement still reading the equipment manuals for my set-up. There was no way I was getting between Renee and Rashida, both alpha females in their own rights. I glanced up finding both women staring waiting for me to engage. Instead, I took out my phone placing it on the table in front of them.
"I said I had an idea, didn't I?"
"Well, don't keep us waiting all day." Renee snapped her fingers in front of my face as I looked between them.
"Alright boss; I would like to thank you guys for giving form to a great promotional tool."
"What promotional tool?" Rashida took another sip from her cup.
"Your shit talking."
"WHAT?!!" Both women looked comically offended as I continued.
"Well, I intended to shoot a scene with Thunda here, but obviously things got out of hand in the planning stages; but even though we had uh, a successful trust exercise, I didn't get to shoot what I wanted. So, I wanna shoot something real quick that will definitely get more eyes on Rashida's current page."
