(RECAP)
"No, open your eyes and see." I forced my weary eyes open finding the beginnings of sunlight creeping into the living room.
Renee Kelly had made good on her promise to fuck me until the sun came up.
I lost my sight to exhaustion feeling her dismount with the sudden rush of incoming air. Her scent was everywhere about my person as I listened to her careful movements. There was a bit of sniffling, some coughing and finally the unmistakable sound of sobbing.
I wanted to tell Renee what she wanted to hear, but I was imprisoned in my own body as the darkness clouded over what little cognizance remained. It felt as if I were falling into an abyss as Renee drifted away, likely forever. I tried to will myself to speak, but she was already gone from the living room as the sandman stole my consciousness.

"OW, WHAT?"
The pain in my right thigh was fleeting as I opened my eyes staring up at the white slightly glittery finish on the ceiling. It was the first time I noticed that particular aspect of Renee's living room. I was trashed tilting my head finding Rashida looking down at my face.
"Get your ass up; you gotta go nigga." I immediately realized I was nude going to cover my package with both hands lying on the carpet. She'd thrown my underwear over my business and I was grateful.
"Renee?"
"Don't worry about that shit; put your clothes on."
Rashida was all business, but there was a sliver of aggression in her tone that didn't go unnoticed. There were bits and pieces, little aches of the body left over from a night of savage lovemaking. The thought flittered through my mind as Rashida stood over me like a disparaging parent.
"What now?"
"What you mean, what now?"
"You mad at me about something, Rashida?" I didn't want to wait addressing the elephant in the room on the spot. The sunlight in the living room was biting causing me to shield my eyes as she scoffed.
"I ain't got no beef with you nigga; you might wanna put your clothes on before your trifling cousin show up with little Daisy."
"Oh shit." I got another surprise sitting up quickly in the buff.
Shawnee Thompson was leaning against the back of Renee's sofa, large donut, and plastic bottle of orange juice in hand. Her hyper-pear shaped figure was covered in a magenta velour track suit. The top was unzipped revealing a white Bowknot bustier matching the wedge lace up sneakers on her feet. This more form fitting attire and her makeup spoke to the influence of Renee Kelly, but her long hair tied off into dual Dutch braids harkened to her distinctive Latin heritage. She was meekly smiling with pronounced dimples enhancing her chubby cheeks.
"How long have you been there?"
"I put your boxers over your junk; you was laid out dead to the world." Shawnee chortled while Rashida nudged me with her foot again.
"GET YOUR CLOTHES ON AND GET OUT OF HERE!" There was no denying her attitude, but I decided to fight that battle another day.
Both of them stood there watching me get dressed. I was feeling it everywhere with images of Renee's tour de force performance throughout the night. It felt like I'd run a marathon as the question she asked flowed into my mind leaving traces of anxiety that started to sprout and grow.
Anxiety started to creep into my psyche as I pulled on my t-shirt facing Rashida and Shawnee. It was beyond weird seeing them side by side considering what happened upon their initial meeting. Rashida was wearing a paisley print tunic blouse and a pair of denim print jegging booty shorts designed to showcase her powerful legs. A pair of cheap flip flops were covering her feet.
"Where's Renee?" The large bandage on the bridge of her nose and some lingering bruises spoke to the embarrassing loss in that street fight with Yoli.
"Don't you worry about that; here take your shit and bounce!"
She pushed a tote bag into my arms gruffly which I unzipped finding Renee's camera equipment. I was puzzled, but Rashida handled my bicep sort of driving me towards the corridor leading to Renee's kitchen and the back door.
"What's up with you?" I asked again.
"Nothing, didn't I tell you Jaquan was coming here with Daisy?"
"He's my cousin in case you forgot; and we've all been with one another in various combinations over that last couple of days. Fuck what you say Rashida; this feels like bullshit."
"Man, I ain't gotta explain shit to you; I gotta run the shop today and you need to get up outta here!" Her alpha female attitude didn't faze me in no large part due to the memory of Yoli owning her physically. I was looking between her words at what was really being said.
"She wants me gone, right?" Rashida put her hands on her hips for a few seconds before crossing them over her bust.
"We can talk about it later, okay?" The attitude melted away leaving her looking exasperated.
"No."
I rushed to Renee's bedroom door shoving it open as her BFF futilely tried to stop me. I could feel Renee's presence on the other side wanting answers directly from her. The door swung open hitting the wall loudly. There was this rack of shoes on the back of the door that dislodged falling to the carpet.
Renee Kelly was sitting there in her bed propped up against the headboard on a large number of pillows.
An extra-large terry cloth bathrobe was loosely covering her nude body as the smell of body wash and perfume assailed my nostrils. A bed tray rested across her lap covered with various articles of makeup. She was holding a handful of cotton balls. It appeared that she was in the process of removing her makeup. Her face stuck with me devoid of the war paint she'd been wearing recently.
Her symmetrical unparalleled beauty remained unfettered, but her countenance was tragically stark. I noticed the bedding littered with discarded odds and ends giving me the impression she'd been occupying herself behind closed doors. I found the wig and thick glasses at the edge of the mattress, discarded. Her head weakly rolled in my direction; green eyes watery in an instant.
"He's going, sorry Renee." Rashida leaned inside cautiously pulling the door up closing it in my face. Renee's eyes never left me as the door closed with a muted thud. Rashida got in between me and the door, brow furrowed.
"You're going."
"Yeah, guess I am; take care of her." I'd never given esteemed baby mama number two, an answer to her question as I glanced to my right finding Shawnee standing there looking innocuous.
"Hey, I'll take you home, payaso." She offered.
Shawnee took the bag slinging it over her far shoulder walking me into the kitchen towards the backdoor. There was this weird dead feeling in the air. Rashida remained behind at her friend's bedroom door almost guarding it. There was no doubt Renee Kelly flamed out mentally after being denied.
She'd gone for broke, but I wouldn't relent out of multiple reasons, my wayward cousin, their small child and last but not least, her own stifling ego. I dealt a heavy blow to Renee by mentally running away from the question of personal inclusivity. There was little doubt she'd bounce back and likely come looking to assuage her ego in some way. It was a waiting game at this point as Shawnee walked beside me down to the back alley and her waiting Volkswagen beetle.
"So uhm, some night, huh?" Shawnee asked barely half a block away from Renee's building.
"It's private." I didn't waste words.
She let things sit for a while as I took stock of her appearance noticing the professional level makeup job and the multiple stud earrings in the ear facing me and the thin link white gold chain about her neck. Her scent changed as well leaving me befuddled whether it was some expensive perfume or a sweet smelling body wash. The slacker version of Shawnee Thompson had gone the way of the dinosaur. This new look was different, a more refined version of all that had come before.
"What?" She noticed me looking.
"What happened to you?" Shawnee chuckled shooting me a sly glance.
"I look busted or something?"
"More like you've been drinking the Kool-Aid; if you get my drift." She returned my assertion with a few chuckles that drifted off into the silence as we tooled down a few side streets towards my neighborhood. I'd mumbled my address as I got in beside her.
"No really, I don't look good or nothing?" She asked after a few minutes.
"That's not what I mean; looks like you been sleeping in Renee's closet or something. She make you her Mini-Me, or something?"
"¡¡Escucha a este hijo de puta de aquÃ!! ¡Tienes el descaro de estar hablando mierda sentado en mi auto como una cabeza de paloma!" This didn't sit well with Shawnee making her feel as though I was insulting her appearance.
"English please."
