Pitch black darkness swallows the very light of the stars, flashes of lightning temporairly illuminating the sky as beads of rain dance outside the window panes.
Brr-inggg...Brringggg....
In the midst of a very vivid dream, I vaguely heard the phone ringing. At first I thought it was part of the dream until the incessant ringing succeeded in waking me. Fumbling for the night lamp beside my bed, I see that Mickey's hands are pointing at the two and six, indicating that it's two thirty in the morning. His expression is just like mines, wondering who in the hell would be calling this late??
"What?" I finally manage to say, if the person on the other end couldn't hear the pissed off attitude in my voice they must truly be deaf.
"He did it again...he did it again..." I knew the voice and I knew the who, what and why of the sentence. It was my best friend, Deidre, crying over how this lowlife she calls her boyfriend has cheated on her again.
"Calm down Dee-Dee. Tell me what happened."
"Nothing to tell. He cheated on me again. And get this, in my own fucking bed. The bitch had the nerve to leave her panties...her fucking panties in my bed..." Deidre's voice trailed off.
"Oh my damn." What else could I say? I mean, it's one thing to cheat, but in your own home where evidence can be found.
"Tre, I know it's late, but can I come over? I mean I just need a place to stay for a day or two until he gets his shit out of the house. You know I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important."
"Yeh, you know the door is always open."
Damn, what the hell was I getting into?
Hanging up the phone, I quickly dialed my girlfriend's number to avoid any drama.
"Mmm...Hello?" God, the sound of her voice just makes me want to jump through the phone.
"Hey boo, did I wake you?"
"Yes and no baby. I was just dreaming about you." she laughed lightly. Talk about sending chills up and down my spine.
"Oh yeh? Well you gonna have to tell me about it later so that I can make if come true for you."
"Fa sho baby." I mean the sound of her voice made me almost forget why I was calling.
"I gotta tell you something. Dee-Dee and her man broke up..."
"Again?"
"Yeh I know, anyways, she needs a place to stay for a minute and I'ma let her crash over here. I just wanted to let you know first so that in case you called and she answered the phone you wouldn't try to hurt a nigga."
"Always trying to take care of somebody, ain't you? It's cool, daddy. I know you gotta take care of your friend. Call me later so we can do something, aight?" Did I mention my boo was the greatest?
"No doubt. But, you know what you can do right now for me?" She knew by the tone of my voice what I wanted.
"Of course, daddy", she purred. "You stroking it for me daddy?"
"Do your thang babygurl" She could hear my desire radiating in my voice. I swear my boo got the phone sex game on lock...
Deidre came over about eight thirty that morning. Mind you, I was on the phone with my boo until four, you know I couldn't hang up until I heard her call my name, but that's another story. Suffice to say, I was not in a good mood when Deidre arrived.
"Tre thanks for letting me stay here. I really appreciate it."
"It's cool." I yawned, scratching my stomach through my wife beater.
"Everything cool with Leeha?"
"Yeh, I straightened everythin out with Ma last night after I talked to you." Yawning again, scratching some more.
"Ay yo Dee-Dee, can you braid my hair later on?" I asked after seeing the unraveling ends of hair.
"Hell, I called you two in the morning, staying at your house and you asking me to do you a favor? Negro please, I'll braid your hair, wash your car, paint your house." She laughed. It felt good hearing her laugh, especially since the last time that fool did this she was so depressed it was sickening.
"Aight. I'ma get some more sleep. You know where everything is, so ain't no need to give you a tour. Mi casa, su casa."
"Aight now papi, don't hurt yourself." She laughed. I laughed in spite of being tired. Soon as my head hit the pillow, I was rocked.
One day turned to two, two days turned to a week and before I knew it, Deidre had been staying with me for almost two months. I don't really mind that she's stayed this long, it's kinda cool having someone to talk to and just chill with. I mean she cooks and helps pay bills, plus I save money on going to get my hair braided, hell she even shapes my hairline up too! Only thing that is kinda suffering is my relationship with Leeha. She was cool at first, but having Dee-Dee around constantly is starting to get to her.
"Sosa, when is she moving?" Leehla asked me, the tone in her voice was starting to take a more whiny, bitchy edge, losing the sultry tone that I love to hear.
"Ma, can we not do this. I mean, I just got off working a double shift and I just want to spend time with you, not talkin about Deidre. Is that cool with you, Ma?"
"I want to spend time with you, too. But damn, Sosa, she was only suppose to say for a couple days."
"Aight Leeha, I heard you, but you're not hearing me. Deidre is helping me out too. I mean she's paying bills, cooking and taking care of house when I'm too tired to be bothered."
"Sosa are you fucking that bitch?" Now this was something totally out of character of Leeha. She never called Deidre out of her name, let alone accused me of cheating.
"Am I doing what??" I gotta get my head together before I fly off the handle.
"You heard me Sosa. Are you fucking Deidre?" At first, the tone and question pissed me the fuck off, but now, for some reason, it was turning me on seeing her this angry. She kept on talking, rather she kept on yelling, but I couldn't hear a word she said. I was mesmorized by the heaving of her soft and full breasts, the way they swayed when she started pacing the floor, which also let me see her ass jiggle. Gat damn...
"Sosa are you fucking listing to me??" She screamed and that was my undoing. I grabbed her, throwing her on the couch. Her eyes were the size of saucers as I snatched off her jeans, throwing them across the room. She was wearing one of those thongs that drove me absolutely crazy-sheer scrap of material that barely covered her pussy. I was so enthralled by what was in front of me that I barely noticed her thrashing legs or her shocked voice demanding to know what the fuck was I doing. With a flick of the wrist, her thong disappeared and was replaced by my tongue. As pissed as she was, she couldn't fight the skill of my tongue dancing its way through the sweet pink folds of her sex, flicking against her swollen and hard clit, lapping at her sugary sweet essence as it flowed down my chin. I knew I had her when I heard her moaning and swearing and felt her hand gripping my hair urging me on.
"I'm hommm...oh my damn" I didn't even hear the door open, but then again I couldn't have considering I was wearing Leeha's smooth coffee legs as earmuffs.
"I-I am soo sorry" Deidre managed to say as she ran up the stairs. I wanted to laugh as I imagined the expression on her face, but I was distracted by the sudden rush of honey coating my lips, dribbling down my chin.
"I can't believe you just did that." Leeha panted, coming down from her blissful high.
"Couldn't help it." I simply said, licking my lips. I was ill prepared for what happened next.
WHACK!
"You bastard!"
"Yo bi-Leeha what the fuck was that for?!" I had to catch myself before I called her something I might regret.
"What the fuck was that for? Motherfucker you eat my pussy in the livingroom knowing full well that bitch could just stroll up in here at any given moment! What's up with that? I mean, what the fuck, Sosa, you get your rocks off like that? Putting me out like that?" She was definitely taking the shine off my day. Here I thought I was doing something good and shit, and she comes back with this?
"Ay, first off, I didn't hear you complainin when I had my face all up in your pussy. I damn sure didn't see you jumping up and covering yourself when Deidre walked in. Matter of fact, I didn't hear you say shit when you came all over my face. Hell, I didn't even get my rocks off!"
"Fuck you Sosa! I'm out!" Leeha screamed, grabbing her stuff.
"Yo Leeha, you walk out that door, don't fucking bother coming back." She knew by the tone of my voice that she went too far. I mean, yeh, I could've used better judgement, but still...
"You wanna give out ultimatums, I got one for you. You can either play house with that bitch or I can stay. You can't have both."
"Oh it's like that. Fine." I walked over to her, looked deep in her eyes and planted a kiss on her that curled her hair to the roots. Her eyes sparkled as she looked into my eyes as I whispered against her soft lips, "Bye Leeha." It took her a moment to process what happened. Snatching the door open, she walked out of my life. Funny thing is, I never knew Deidre was at the top of the stairs listening.
"I wonder why she called Tre Sosa?.....
"FUCK" I flopped back on the couch, my forearm covering my eyes.
"Tre, you aight?"
"Yeh Dee-Dee." I sighed. I wasn't totally aight, but what can you do sometimes. I looked at Deidre and thought about what just happened. I couldn't choose Leeha over my best friend. I mean, Deidre had no one else in the world and no place to go and I wasn't about to add to the list of people who shitted on her just because of petty jealousy.
"Tre I didn't mean to cause drama."
