That East Side Love

  Chapter 7

  Bobby

  "In my room," I said opening the house door.

  "Why?” Diamond asked.

  "I know you're hot headed ass gon’ try to go after that hoe. I'm too tired to be chasing you down so take your ass in my room," I snapped daring her to object.

  My eyes were glued to her ass as I watched her make her way towards my room.

  "Can I at least shower first?" she asked turning around.

  "Yes, in my room."

  "My clothes?"

  "Diamond, take your ass in my room and find something to wear."

  I watched her walk in my room before I stepped outside to call Cray. She agreed to ride home with some of her other friends while I made sure Diamond got home safely. After making sure that Cray got home okay, I rolled me a blunt and took a smoke break. The house was nice and quiet because ma dukes, Bria, and Lona were in Tampa visiting my aunt Sallie Mae.

  My body started to get tired so I took a shower in my mom’s bathroom then threw on some gym shorts. I was about to ask Diamond if she wanted something to eat, but when I walked in the room she was already sleeping. She was looking sexy as fuck in one of my tank tops and a pair of my boxers.

  Tonight Diamond took my breath away. I knew she was beautiful but today she was just stunning. The way that dressed outlined her body had a nigga ready to ditch Cray’s ass. Feelings that I had buried for Diamond began to resurface. I didn't want to hurt Cray or ruin Diamond’s and my perfect friendship, so I decided to push all the thoughts of us being together out of my mind.

  I know I shouldn't have but I climbed in bed with her. I could have slept on the floor, but I wanted to feel her body next to mine. Wrapping my arms around her waist I pulled her closed to me and the warmth of her body did something to me. Holding Diamond in my arms I was feeling something I never felt. My heart started beating fast, and my mouth went dry as I tried to figure out why this girl had me feeling like this.

  "I love you Bobby, but you don't love me back," she whispered while still sleeping.

  "I do love you Dee," I replied before covering her lips with mine.

  Her eyes shot open, as she tried to push me off of her. I added more of my body weight on her so she couldn't move. I pried her mouth open with my lips and tried to stick my tongue in her mouth. She was so inexperienced that she didn't know what to do with it. Taking it at a slower pace, I took my time showing her the correct way to kiss.

  My hands roamed freely over her body as she tried to perfect kissing me. Her body felt so soft against mine as I squeezed her every curve. My dick made a tent in my shorts as it begged to be released. Lifting her shirt over her head, I grabbed one of her plum breasts into my mouth and sucked on it. Her moans filled the room as I paid close attention to her nipples.

  Kissing my way down, I stuck my tongue in her navel and swirled it around. She sucked in a deep breath when my tongue poked her hole. Pushing her legs back, I sucked, licked, and ate her pussy better that I did any bitch. Her legs wrapped tightly around my neck as she let out a soft cry followed by a gush of cum. Lapping at her honey pot like a nursing dog, I brought her to another gut-wrenching orgasm that had her screaming for God.

  "What are we doing?" she whispered.

  "We're acting on our feelings," I said removing the boxers off of her.

  "What about Cray?" she asked.

  "What about her? It's all about you and me," I replied pressing my lips against her.

  My palms started to sweat as I placed my dick at her middle. I couldn't believe I was about to break my right hand in. After all this time of us hustling together as homies, I was about to be the first one that ran up in her.

  I tried to stick my dick in her but she was too tight. Lubricating my fingers with her wetness I used them to try to loosen her up a bit. Pain was written all over her face as I stuck two fingers in and out of her. The way her pussy gripped my fingers had my dick twitching. I was anticipating the way her pussy would grip my dick when I finally got it in.

  Spreading her legs back, I used my dick to tease her clit. I watched as her cum oozed out of her pussy before attempting to put the head in.

  "What the fuck is going on in here?!" My mother yelled startling us.

  Jumping up I reached for my shorts and threw them at Diamond. My mother wasn't supposed to come home until Monday. What the fuck was she doing back so early, I thought as I scrambled around the room trying to locate clothes. Diamond just stood there stunned like a deer caught in headlights. I had to nudge her so she could move.

  "Really Bobby, I take your friend in and this is how you repay me? By fucking her in my house with no condom on!”

  "Ma chill," I said trying to calm her down.

  "Don't me chill me! You know better Bobby I can't believe this shit and Diamond, this is unacceptable!"

  Diamond slowly got out of bed and re-dressed in the clothing I pulled off of her. She then ran past my mother and out of the room. I was in a lot of trouble but the only thing I could really think about is not being able to break her like I wanted to., I was so close too.

  "She gots to go," my mom finally said.

  "You are her legal guardian ma, what you saying?"

  "I'm saying I'm revoking my rights, I'm not raising no little slut. That girl got no type of respect for me and my home. I took her ungrateful ass in and this is how she repays me? OH NO! I'm going down to the Broward County Courthouse early Monday morning at eight a.m. and I'm requesting they take this child out of my fucking house. As for you Bobby, you better be lucky you my child cuz I'd put your dumb ass out too!!" she fumed.

  "Ma, don't do her like this, please," I begged.

  "My mind is made up!" she replied before walking away.

  "Fuck!" I yelled out.

  I couldn't believe that I was the reason for Diamond being put out. If I would have just kept my dick in my pants this wouldn't have been happening. I was about to lose the love of my life, my best friend, my homie to the system. Getting out of bed, I walked to Lona's room and knocked on the door.

  When I walked in, Lona was consoling a crying Diamond. I could tell my mother delivered the bad news because she had her suitcases laid out across the bed.

  "You just had to try to and fuck her didn't you." Lona snapped cutting her eyes at me.

  "Lona get the fuck out of here with all that!" I yelled out.

  "Get the fuck out my room demanding shit."

  ”Man Lona, can you move please so that I can talk to her."

  "Ump," she huffed walking out of the room.

  "Dee, I'm sorry," I apologized.

  "It's cool, B, I don't regret it."

  "Damn Dee, ma tripping."

  "It's cool. I broke the rules, I gotta suffer the consequences."

  "This ain't right man," I stressed.

  "Imma be good."

  "You still riding for me?"

  "Til the wheels falls off," she smiled.

  "Get some sleep; we got some trappin to do."

  "Bobby."

  "Yes."

  "Make it work with Cray, she's a good girl."

  "I hear you," I replied walking out the room.

  Diamond really just fucked me up in the head. One minute she was telling a nigga she loved him and we were about to fuck; now she was dismissing that shit like it ain't just happen. I was feeling some type of way. I really thought this was going to be the beginning of something. It is what it is, I thought as I walked back to my room.

  My dick still wanted to get wet so I pulled out my phone and called Cray to see if it was if I slide through. After calling her three times with no answer I hit up Beamer, the sexy ass Zoë chick I met. We made plans to meet up at the Days Inn on Oakland Park.

  Jumping in the shower I got fresh and headed out the house. When I made it to the hotel, I reserved our room and rolled a few blunts. Texting her the number of the room, I laid back smoking a joint, with Diamond heavy on my mind. Cray finally decided to call me back. Ignoring her call, I turned my
phone off and waited for Beamer to come through.

  Chapter 8

  Diamond

  "You will be rooming in here with Sky, Star and Brooklyn," the instructor of the group home said.

  "Okay" I shrugged.

  The room was medium sized and it held four twin-sized beds; two on one side and the other two across from them. There were four cherry wood chest dressers, each assigned to a different girl. I went to the dresser that was located next to my bed and began neatly placing my clothes inside. Using my pocket knife, I cut a hole in the bottom of one of the dressers and placed a small box that held my money and drugs in it.

  I browsed the room and looked through the pictures that decorated the sandy brown painted walls. The girls must have still be in school because the group home was empty. The only people that were here were me and a couple of the staff. Ms. Shell, the head bitch in charge came in the room and sat on my bed.

  "Welcome to the East Side Youth Facility," she smiled. "I'm here to tell you the rules and regulations. Have a seat." She motioned for me to sit next to her.

  "First and foremost, this is not a jail cell so you will not be treated like a prisoner. You do have to abide by the rules in order to stay here. My rules are simple; no fighting, no drugs, no sneaking out, no outsiders are allowed in or outside of the premises, and you have to be home by curfew which is eight on school nights and nine on weekends. We have a van here for you convenience if you need a ride to work, church, school, doctor appointments, etcetera. In order to utilize their services you have to sign the transportation sheet a day before you need the transportation service. The laundry room is always open; you do your own laundry. You will receive an allowance of two hundred dollars every month and that is how you will purchase all of your personal products, clothes, and anything else you need. We have a computer room, TV room, and game room. You are more than welcome to enjoy any of those while you're home. We have outings once a month where we go on trips. I think I just about covered everything. Do you have any questions?" she asked licking her pink coated lips.

  "No."

  "Okay good. Tomorrow you will go back to your original high school since it's in our jurisdiction."

  "Okay. Can I leave now?"

  "Yes. Just make sure you are home by eight."

  "Okay."

  As soon as Ms. Shell left the room I dug in my stash and filled my bag up with some drugs. Making sure everything was in place, I left to meet Bobby on the block. Ms. Jessie wasn't lying when she said she was going to revoke her rights. She took me to the courts and gave up her rights to me then they placed me in this group home. I wasn't happy with it, but I had no choice. I was still happy that Bobby agreed to still bring Kay to chill with me.

  Things between Bobby and I were back to normal. I went back to my tomboyish ways and he was my right hand. We never discussed what took place and I like it that way. Although I still carried deep feelings for Bobby, I felt that it was best to leave them buried. I wasn't the type of girl that guys like him usual paraded around town. Him and Cray complemented each other and I didn't want to come between that. For now, it was fuck niggas and get money.

  "What's good B," I said greeting Bobby.

  "What's up Dee, how you liking the new spot?"

  "It is what it is." I shrugged, getting prepared to hop on the stroll.

  Bobby and I went to Sunshine which was the spot we usually hung around to bust licks. I served a few crackheads and chopped it up with the boys. Holding the brick in my mouth was starting to make my throat dry so I walked in the store to buy me a Pina Colada Ritz soda. When I walked out the store, Bobby was leaning against the newspaper stand with Cray standing between his legs. I felt my jaw clenched, so I had to remind myself to calm down.

  "What's up Cray?" I said taking a sip of my soda, and handing Bobby his.

  "Hey DeeDee!!" She smiled as if we were friends.

  I don't know who gave this chick permission to call me by my nickname. It was only for Bobby and Kay to use. Faking my smile I leaned up against the wall and chilled until my next customer walked up.

  "Why do you sell drugs?" Cray asked as I finished serving the fiend.

  "Mind your business," I snapped walking away.

  I could hear her ask Bobby did she say something wrong and he assured her that she didn't. Just because that bitch was fucking my best friend didn't mean I had to be cool with her. I was almost down the block when I heard Bobby calling my name.

  "Dee what's good?" he asked.

  "I'm about to go re-up, I'm getting low," I replied cuffing my hands over my eyes to block the sun.

  "How long you tryna be out here for?"

  "Why?"

  "I'm about to take Cray out to eat."

  "We have all this money to count."

  "We can do it tomorrow," he shrugged.

  "You must have forgot that I am in a damn group home! I have to try to go to school and trap before my damn curfew! Since when pussy came before money?" I jealously seethed.

  "It ain't even like that."

  "Man fuck it, I'll go count the money on my own."

  "At least let me drop you off."

  "Fuck you nigga, I got bus money!"

  It was seven forty five when I finally made it to the group home. Bobby has been blowing me up but I put his ass on the blocked list for the time being. I couldn't believe he left me hanging for some pussy. My poor finger was numb from sorting, counting, and packing money all by myself.

  "Dinner is being served in the cafeteria," Ms. Shell said as I walked through the door.

  I walked in the room and it was no longer empty. Twin girls, who I assumed was Sky and Star, were sitting on the floor playing a game of Uno while Brooklyn balanced a hand mirror between her legs, applying her false lashes.

  "What's up?" I greeted everyone while I looked through my dresser for something to wear.

  "Hey I'm Sky and this is my sister Star," one of the twins spoke up.

  The twins were very pretty. They were both full figured, and it looked great on them. Their skin was smooth, dark and rich like mine. Sky wore braces while Star had perfect, white straight teeth.

  "I'm Brooklyn," Ms. Ratchet said smacking her lips.

  Grabbing my things I walked out of the room and took a shower. When I was done, I walked in the cafeteria and had a meal of black-eyed peas, corn bread, and turkey wings. Stuffed, I walked down to the TV room and relaxed on the recliner while I caught up on some TV shows.

  ****

  Living in the group home wasn't really that bad. I've been here for three months and I was getting use to everyone. I was very fond of Sky and Star; those two became my best friends. Brooklyn has been throwing mad shade at me because she started hanging with Cookie and Natasha.

  Today was my birthday and I was allowing the girls to drag me out to get pampered. The last time I did this bullshit I ended up almost fucking my right hand. We caught bus 36 to the Lovely Nails on Powerline and 9th Avenue, and waited to get our nails and toes done.

  "I'm going to get my toes done, but I'm not fucking with the fake nails," I told Sky.

  "Omg Diamond, can you be a girl for once?" she fussed.

  "No," I licked my tongue out at her.

  I sat next to Star and allowed Ching Chong to scrub my feet. We were having small talk when Cookie’s loud mouthed ass walked in with her that-tourage.

  "Chong, I had an appointment with you," she snapped at the guy that was doing my toes.

  "You no come. I do first come first serve. Go sit down wait your turn," he snapped back at her.

  "Keep fucking with me and y'all ain't gon’ be getting my business anymore," she said rolling her eyes.

  "Go sit down or get out!" he yelled.

  "Fuck you! Y'all Chinese asses can't do nails no how!" She popped her gum then walked out followed by her thotties.

  "That bitch is a joke," Sky said.

  "You know Brooklyn be sucking Bobby's dick from time to time," Star said causing my ears to perk up. />
  They knew Bobby and I were best friends but they knew nothing about my feelings for him.

  "For real?" I asked.

  "Yes. He used to sneak in the yard and she'd be sucking his dick and all," Star confirmed.

  "That's crazy."

  I was burning up on the inside. Every time I would hear about Bobby and other bitches I would get hot. I still loved Bobby with all my heart; it was still hard for me to even accept his relationship with Cray.
