“With your ugly self,” I said to her then she pushed me. I pushed her back. “Don’t mess with me this morning, Monifa, and I mean it,” I said to her.
“Where is my neckless that Yardi gave to me?” she asked me.
“I don’t know. Ask his punk ass where it’s at. You shouldn’t be messing around with a human anyway,” I spat.
“Don’t you mess with human females?” she asked me.
“None of your business,” I said then walked away from her.
“I can’t stand you, Kanye!” she screamed at me.
“I can’t stand your ass, either!” I shouted back at her.
“Watch your mouth!” my mother yelled at me. I kissed her cheek.
“Good morning, Ma. How are you feeling? You look beautiful,” I said to her then she smiled.
“Good morning, handsome. Did you have fun last night?” she asked after her mood softened.
“It was aight,” I said. I had a threesome for the first time with two college chicks and it wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be. They cried every time I entered them and it made me go limp.
“You need to take college a bit more seriously. You are a very smart boy but you are just too stubborn,” she said.
“I will, Ma, see you later,” I said then walked out the door. I got into my black sports car with the drop top then revved the engine.
“So, you were just going to leave me, huh?” Zaan asked me.
“I thought you had a hangover,” I said to him then he got in the car.
“I did until my father came in my room with some type of drink. Nigga, when I sipped on that drink it made me felt like a new wolf,” he said.
“Uncle Elle always got something special,” I said. The twins Baneet and Chancy walked out of the house, laughing and giggling.
“Baneet got some juicy legs. Juicer than a raw T-bone steak,” Zaan said as he lustfully stared at her.
“Dayo is going to mess you up,” I said.
“I will take one for the team. Look at her ass and hips,” Zaan said.
“Come here, Baneet!” Zaan called out to her.
“I’m running late for school! Call me,” Baneet said then got into her truck.
“You got it bad, bro,” I said to Zaan.
“I can’t help it. She is beautiful and her smooth, dark-chocolate skin be having me stuck,” Zaan said.
“Dayo is seriously going to mess you up,” I said to him
“You riding to school with us?” I called out to Akea.
“No, go ahead,” he said. Akea and I weren’t close because he always avoided being around me. I picked on him at times because that was the only way I could communicate with him. In school he’d walked past me like he didn’t know me. He talked to Zaan more than he talked to me.
“Harry Potter muthafucka,” I said before I pulled off.
“What did you do to Monifa’s necklace? I heard you two arguing,” Zaan said to me.
“I’m going to take it to Beastly Treasures and get real diamonds put in it. I can’t believe her punk-ass boyfriend got her fake diamonds. I hope she ain’t screwing him,” I told Zaan.
“What if she is?” he asked me then I growled. I gritted my teeth as I clutched the steering wheel.
“She know better,” I told Zaan.
“Y’all don’t even get along. Why don’t you tell her you feel some type of way about her?” he asked.
“Because I don’t. I just don’t want her messing with someone who doesn’t appreciate her enough to give her real diamonds. Even if he can’t afford it he still should’ve waited or got her something else,” I said to Zaan then he shook his head.
Monifa
I walked through the mall with Baneet and Chancy. The three of us were very close.
We entered an urban fashion store. There was a big college party after the football game that night. “Damn it, do they believe in size fourteen’s around here?” I asked out loud.
“Right. Only one who can fit this crap is Chancy,” Baneet said. Chancy was slim and curvaceous while Baneet and I were a little heavier.
“And I’m not even interested in none of this,” Chancy said as she popped her gum.
“We should get an apartment away from home,” Baneet said.
“Our parents are very old-fashioned. The pack must live together and blah, blah, blah,” I said.
“I like it home,” Chancy said.
“You just like being around Akea,” I said then Baneet laughed.
“Akea doesn’t pay nobody any mind,” Baneet replied as she looked through the rack.
“If I had a brother like Kanye, I would be mad at the world, too. Kanye is an arrogant asshole and he makes my skin crawl. He isn’t nothing but a chick magnet,” I said.
“Speak of the devil,” Chancy said. When I turned around Kanye and Zaan walked into the store and I must admit that Kanye is borderline gorgeous. Kanye had to be around six-foot-two and had a very nice build. His skin was the color of copper. His arms and chest were solid, giving him extra sex appeal. He had markings all over his body that he inherited from his roots. We all had a few but Kanye’s tribal markings were different like his father. He wore a sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts and tennis shoes. His hair was tapered on the sides and the middle was very wavy. Everything on him was perfect. Zaan was attractive also, but he was more of a lean build, and taller than Kanye. Zaan had pretty dark skin and he wore his hair in locks like Elle used to before he cut them off.
Kanye’s eyes flashed blue when he saw me. I rolled my eyes at him. “Why can’t I get away from him?” I asked out loud.
“Because you want some of him,” Baneet teased me. Zaan kissed Baneet on her cheek, which caused her to blush. Everyone knew they were low-key dating, all except for Uncle Dayo.
“I got enough of you this morning and now this?” I asked Kanye.
“Shut up. I just came in here to get something to wear for tonight,” he said then walked past me. I stared at the tribal markings that wrapped around his muscular arm and neck. When he looked at me, I hurriedly turned my head.
“You know you can’t fit shit up in here, Monifa,” Kanye said to me then laughed. Chancy and Baneet giggled then I growled at them. I stormed out of the store with Chancy following behind me.
“He makes me sick,” I said out loud. A group of cute guys walked past us. Chancy waved at them, she was a flirt.
“What are you two getting into?” one of them asked us. He wasn’t nothing cute to look at. Kanye, Baneet and Zaan walked out of the store. Kanye had a bag in his hand. When he saw the group of guys, a scowl came across his face. He stood next to me.
“What y’all niggas want?” Kanye asked then put his arm around me. His body language was intimidating. Kanye looked like a “thug”. The group of guys walked off then he unwrapped his arm from around me.
“I’ll see you at home, big head,” he said to me then walked off. Zaan kissed Baneet’s lips then smirked at me before he left the mall with Kanye.
“Why am I turned on?” I asked them then faked a gag.
“You two need to stop it. Izra will get over it eventually. Adika is mad cool and I don’t think she will trip over it,” Chancy said.
*******
The hot water wasn’t working inside my room so I headed to the hall bathroom. I pushed the door open then jumped when I saw Kanye peeing in the toilet. My eyes darted to his dick and he just stood there unbothered that I invaded his privacy. He sniffed the air then growled as he stared at me.
“Are you aroused?” he asked me.
“You jerk!” I said then hurried out of the bathroom. I went inside my room then locked the door. I fanned myself then took a cold shower. Visions of Kanye touching me filled my head and a strong ache formed between my legs. His scent even drove me crazy because it was still in my room. After I got dressed I headed out the door with Baneet and Chancy.
Arya was getting out of her car when we walked out the house.
“Look at you t
hree all dolled up. Where are all of you going and did your fathers see y’all leave out? Y’all clothes are squeezing everything,” she said then laughed.
“No, they didn’t see us, that’s why we are trying to hurry up and leave. We are grown anyway,” Chancy said.
“Our father doesn’t seem to think that,” Arya said to her sisters then yawned. “I’m tired. I had a long day at the warehouse,” she said. Arya helped out with Ula and Amadi’s skincare products.
“We will see you later. Don’t wait up,” I said to her before she went inside the house.
“Chancy, it’s your turn to drive. We’ve been in my truck all day,” I said to her then she sucked her teeth.
“Fine!” she said as we walked to her car. Yardi sent me a message telling me that him and his frat buddies were already at the party.
“We are having fun tonight!” I shouted.
“I know I am,” Chancy said.
“Hot ass,” Baneet teased.
*******
“Where is that necklace I bought for you?” Yardi asked me.
“It’s home,” I lied. He pulled me into him then kissed my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck then kissed him back. I pulled away from him then sipped my spiked punch. The party was crowded, Baneet and Chancy stayed on the dance floor. Chancy was really into the party as she danced seductively. I pulled Yardi into me then grinded on him. His arms wrapped around my hips. Yardi was handsome. He stood at six feet and had a football player build to him. We dated since my freshman year of college. I was his tutor then one thing led to another.
Kanye walked through the crowd with Zaan. The girls rushed to him. I made all of them fall on top of each other then the ceiling light blew out. I’m a witch and werewolf. I loved my beast but my witch is what I loved even more. My mother taught me a lot of spells and I’d been practicing them with her since I could remember. Kanye looked at me because he knew I was behind it. I gave him the finger then he smiled at me. He blew me a kiss then winked at me and I forgot all about Yardi and what he was talking about.
“Do you hear me?” Yardi asked.
“What?” I asked him.
“Are you coming back to my room with me?” he asked me.
“I’m spending a spa day with my mom and cousins tomorrow. It’s an all-girls outing,” I replied.
“When are you going to make time for me?” Yardi asked me.
“Next weekend, I’m all yours,” I replied. Kanye looked at me then looked at Yardi while a female stood in his face wanting his attention. He ignored her. She turned his head so that he could face her. Her name is Jaysha and word around campus was that he was messing around with her. She is a human and was very popular on campus. Her parents are very wealthy and she was quick to let someone know. Rumor was that before she met Kanye, she got a boy locked up because he dumped her. I hated her with a passion. I blocked out Yardi so that I could hear Jaysha and Kanye’s conversation from across the room.
“What is wrong with you, Kanye? You don’t call me anymore and you have been standing me up lately,” Jaysha said to him.
“I keep telling you that I’m not feeling you anymore. Why can’t you see that?” he asked her.
“We were in love,” she said to him.
“Yeah, until you got pregnant. I can’t get you pregnant. That baby wasn’t mine, so that just tells me that you stepped out. I’m cool on you, Jaysha. Stop calling my fucking phone. I’m not trying to hurt your feelings, but you are setting yourself up. You slashed my tires, keyed my car and got the police to pull me over. You are crazy and I don’t want any parts of it,” Kanye said.
“The baby was yours!” Jaysha said then Kanye laughed in her face.
“Human women are very difficult at times. I have never come inside you. I can barely fit inside you. I hope you don’t think you can get pregnant by giving head,” Kanye said to her. Jaysha slapped Kanye as hard as she could but I could tell that it hurt her more than it hurt him. A bat burst into the window then attacked Jaysha. The crowd ran out of the frat house while Jaysha screamed and cried as she tried to swat the bat away. The bat bit and scratched at her face then it disappeared.
“What was that?” Yardi asked.
“A bat,” I answered. I no longer wanted to be at the party. Hearing Kanye admit he had feelings for Jaysha turned my stomach. I thought maybe he was just screwing around with her but he admitted that it was stronger. I kissed Yardi goodbye then promised to call him. I walked out of the house with Baneet and Chancy following me.
“What was that about?” Chancy asked me.
“I don’t know! What is wrong with me?” I asked.
“You’ve been getting very jealous over Kanye. Yardi can’t even keep your attention anymore,” Baneet said. I had a slight buzz from the punch and I just wanted to go home.
“This party sucks. Are you two ready to go? We have to get up early tomorrow for our spa day,” I said to them.
“I’m ready, hell, I been ready,” Baneet said.
*******
I stood in front of Kanye’s room door then looked down both ends of the hall. I made sure nobody was coming before I disappeared then reappeared inside his room. Kanye slept peacefully on his back. I blushed at his growls mixed with light snoring. I found him to be fascinating, especially his beast. My eyes roamed over his sculpted chest and tight abs. I slid the covers back then quietly got into his bed. I didn’t know why I had these urges but I couldn’t help it. I had to be close to him even if it was just for a few seconds. I could see the outline of his dick print through the thin sheet. I had a strong craving for him. A growl almost slipped from my lips but I hurriedly covered my mouth. Kanye opened his eyes, his ice blue pupils staring at me in the dark.
“What in the hell are you doing in my room, Monifa? Your crazy ass better not have cursed me,” he said then jumped up.
“I was looking for my necklace! I know you took it!” I yelled at him.
“I know you’d better calm your voice down before your father comes in here, wondering what you are doing in here. If I did take your necklace, what makes you think I would sleep with the cheap thing?” he asked me.
“I wanted to be sure,” I said then walked toward his door. Kanye pulled me back then pushed me up against the wall. I pushed him back then he held both of my arms above my head. He growled but not an angry growl, his beast was in lust. Kanye ran his nose down my neck then kissed it. His sharp teeth grazed my skin then sent shivers down my spine. Kanye pulled away from me.
“Get the fuck out of my room,” he spat. He opened his door then pushed me into the hallway.
“Asshole!” I screamed before he slammed the door in my face. I headed back to my room aroused and confused. Yardi was very sexual but Kanye did something else to me without touching me. When I walked into my bedroom, my mother was sitting on my bed. She was very, very old but she looked to be in her late twenties. Immortals started aging slowly once they hit eighteen. We, the offspring, still looked eighteen but we were a few years older.
“What’s going on, Mother?” I asked. She patted the bed so I sat down next to her.
“Why were you in Kanye’s room?” she asked me.
“I was looking for my necklace,” I lied then she laughed.
“Who are you fooling, Monifa? That necklace is the least bit of your concerns. You have desires, perhaps, even urges to be with him. Do you sexually crave him, and don’t lie because I can see your visions when I want to?”
“Yes, I do. I don’t know why, but I do. I can’t help it,” I admitted then she laughed.
“Your father will kill me if I told you this, but Kanye is your soulmate. When you have those desires and feelings for someone that strong it just means that you two are meant to be,” she said.
“Ewwwwwwww,” I said.
“You are saying that now. Every day that passes it will become stronger. I just hate to see Izra figure it out. He will lose his mind. Let me get ready for the headaches to come,” she said then stood up.<
br />
“It’s not nice to lead someone on, Monifa. I know that you aren’t into that human boy. It will never work anyway because you and him are so different. You might want to break it off before he becomes too attached,” she said. She kissed my forehead then walked out of my room. I lay in bed and tossed and turned all night. I should’ve slept next to Kanye where it was more comfortable.
Akea
I sat at my desk in my room, studying for an exam for my Astrology class. There was a knock at my bedroom door. “What is it? I’m busy,” I said. The door opened and when I turned around it was Chancy.
“Do you want to go to the movies with me?” she asked me.
“I’m studying,” I said.
“Who cares? You need to come out for some air. I want you to go to the movies with me and I’m not leaving your room until you do. I’m going to sit right here,” she said then hopped up on my desk. She crossed her legs and arms. Her beast’s eyes turned yellow as she looked at me. I dropped my pen.
