SEASON FINALE
***********************************************************************************************************
Tressie Fisher began playing "Oh Happy Day" in melody surrounded by her students and some of the female members of the congregation.
I raised my camera knowing this performance was the real reason I was filming. Her niece Stacy plugged in the mic planting it on the piano top facing her auntie who was getting into the music. Some of the people were resuming their seats while others hovered near the grand piano. Half of the choir was already bumping and swaying side by side to the music. Phoebe and Bentley were already on their feet.
Then it happened.
"WHEN JESUS WALKED!! WHEN JESUS WALKED, HE WASHED MY SINS AWAY!!" Tressie Fisher let loose with a high note going right into the section of the gospel song without missing a beat.
The remainder of the choir were quickly returning to their places already singing in concert with her as the applause rang out. I stood in place filming the proceedings for prosperity noticing my mother watching with a big smile on her face. Just like that church was a place of jubilation again as Tressie glanced back over her shoulder.
Mr. Gilbert was within five feet of her clapping to the music, tears in his eyes. Tressie turned back to the piano rocking and bopping to the music shaking her head wildly until the bandana slid away almost magically. Her mane of brownish hair flowed free as she sang with the voice of an soulful angel.
Filming, I knew the old Tressie Fisher was long gone never to return; happy to have played a part in killing that version of her. Most of the church was giving Tressie a standing ovation as I noticed the pastor leaving the pulpit, hanging his head in shame.
I shed a tear or two as Mr. Gilbert joined her along with the children and her siblings. Demon hung back preferring his own space and I understood that.
It was a beautiful thing to see.
(RECAP)
"What is this sorry shit?"
My cousin's backyard was a cramped affair between the rectangular design of the home and the blocky, rarely used garage in the back which left a square space of actual yard to be used. My aunt had already used up a third of this space for her garden and some veggies she was growing which my cousin tended to in her absence.
A large tree had grown at one corner on sort of a diagonal angle dipping into the yard. The opposite sides of the yard was an enclosed private space with a very high picket fence well over six feet in height. "Mr. Loverman " by Shabba Ranks was softly wafting through the air as I got an unexpected surprise.
Rashida Sikes was lying prone on a lounge chair wearing a bikini and some sunglasses which seemed to be hiding the fact that she was napping. The music was coming from her iPhone on a nearby glass table and chair set. I found myself massaging my chin looking about before drifting closer for a better appraisal of the situation.
Some fashion magazine was being used as a pillow for the snoozing urban model. Her dark skin contrasted with the red Hawaiian print barely covering her luscious figure in two skimpy bits of cloth. Chi Town Thunda looked more cut than I'd ever known her to be before. Apparently she was hitting the gym.
More important was the certified sixty two inches of thick, mountainous badonkadunk on display in the afternoon sunlight.
Although the bikini bottom was plus sized, her ponderous cheeks were making a mockery of the material leaving her with an improvised thong as it protruded from the top of her deep gluteal cleft. Rashida's top was undone verifying the comical fact that this rich, dark skinned woman was actually sunbathing.
Rashida Sikes aka "Chi Town Thunda" was hourglass perfection. I noticed a half full pitcher of Mojito on the little table besides her phone. Rashida Sikes was having the perfect lazy day that was about to be interrupted. I took a seat in the available chair beside her lounge chair. Her profile was staggering with her butt a literal shelf of rounded flesh.
"Damn, almost hate to do it." I leaned back enjoying the view for a while waiting to see if Jaquan would appear. After a few minutes, I picked up Rashida's phone abruptly changing the song to "YES" by Fat Joe, Cardi B and Anuel AA.
"YES, ASS UP, FACE DOWN!!!" Blasted from her phone jolting Rashida out of her slumber.
She rose up quickly on her elbows knocking the magazine onto the grass regarding me with a pause, then sudden shock and revulsion turning on her side. Rashida snatched up a towel from the opposite side of her lounge chair covering herself as best she could.
"WHAT THE FUCK YOU DOING HERE?!!" She fumbled with the sunglasses righting them on her face as the music continued blasting.
"Family relationship; you are aware, right?" I was casual watching amused as she tried to futilely wrap the towel around her midsection without getting up.
"YOU BETTER GET YOUR ASS OUTTA HERE OR I'M GONNA CALL THE COPS!!" Rashida threatened.
"Okay bitch, I'd like to see you explain that shit to my auntie who owns the fucking house."
My posture was relaxed as I reclined in the chair making no attempts to hide the fact that I was checking out her body. Rashida half flopped out onto the grass standing up close enough to clock me if she wanted, but I didn't flinch. She tied the towel in a knot about her chest snatching up her phone turning off the music. I rested my chin on my fist expecting her to summon my cousin one way or another.
"What're you doing here; you know you ain't wanted?!!"
"Uhm, nobody gave me the memo; I've been busy up until this very moment."
Rashida had an arm draped across her tits while tugging at a portion of the towel trying to hide her abdomen. She'd definitely been working out now sporting a defined stomach, but everything else was basically the same regarding her body for the most part.
"YOU NEEDS TO GET UP OUTTA HERE BEFORE JAQUAN GETS TO DUMPING ON YOUR ASS!! YOU KNOW YOU AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND HERE NO HOW, NIGGA!! WHY YOU CREEPING AROUND HERE, HUH FOOL?!!" Knowing she had a glass chin after witnessing her getting trashed by the much smaller Yoli didn't help her "Ghetto Girl" act one bit.
"It's called visiting my family for your information Rashida; by the way, what're you doing here? Is Jaquan renting out rooms now?" A look of panic flashed in her eyes for a second followed by her trademark scowl and gritted teeth.
"I AIN'T GOTTA TELL YOU SHIT!" Rashida probably half knew I was aware of the reason for her presence considering her body language. My chin still rested on my fist as I glanced at her internet famous stallion legs still as shapely as ever, but less so than my friend Phoebe.
