The Kat Trap

by Cairo

  I laughed. “What, ya’ll niggas scared to play with two dime bitches?”

  “Dig, beautiful,” this cross-eyed nigga rockin’ a navy-blue Yankee fitted cocked to the side said, “I don’t mean no harm, but maybe you and ya girl might wanna come back when ya got ya game up.”

  A few niggas laughed.

  “No harm taken,” I said, eyein’ him with my hand on my hip. “Like I said, me and my girl got next.”

  Cash and a few other niggas laughed.

  “Rack ’em up, then, baby,” this short, cock-diesel-type nigga with shoulder-length dreads said. “I’m ’bout to house ya fine ass.”

  I eyed him real easy-like. He was a brown-skinned cutie with a thick neck; definitely fuckable, but my clit didn’t jump so I knew his paper wasn’t long enough to handle a bitch like me. “Oh, is that right, little man?”

  “Little man? Yeah, okay. But I got a big stick,” he drawled.

  “With little-ass balls,” I said back. “And a big-ass mouth. And you’se ’bout to get the snot whipped outta ya.”

  His boys laughed.

  “Oh, looks like we got a shit-talker in the room.”

  “And I can back it up,” I said, shiftin’ my bag from one arm to the other.

  Cash jumped in. “Yo, I love you, my nigga, but I’ma haveta ride with Kat and her peoples on this one.”

  “Yo, fuck you, nigga,” one of his boys said, laughin’. “Ya black ass just tryna get some ass.”

  “Yeah, that, too,” Cash replied, laughin’ and eyein’ Chanel at the same time. “But, I’m tellin’ you niggas, don’t sleep. I bet these beauties are real beasts.”

  I rolled my eyes. I was gettin’ restless and was ready to bring it to them niggas. “Listen, muhfuckas, are we gonna play or are ya’ll niggas gonna stand here bullshittin’?”

  “Oh, okay, I see you one a them gangsta chicks.”

  I smiled. “I’m from Brooklyn, nigga…thought you knew.”

  “Let’s do this, then, pretty baby,” the stocky nigga said. “By the way, I’m Leo, and”—he pointed to this golden-brown nigga with light-brown eyes and light-brown curly hair—“this here is my nigga Bronze.”

  I introduced myself and Chanel to ’em, then walked over and started rackin’ the balls. By now there was so much hype in the air ’round us that niggas and bitches had stopped what they were doin’ and were all comin’ over and standin’ ’round tryna see what all the excitement was ’bout. Once again, all eyes on me, bitches!

  Then outta nowhere this fine brown-skinned nigga with spinnin’ waves said, “I got a twenty on them two fine shorties.”

  The cornball nigga was tryna clown us.

  “I’ll double that,” said this other nigga, laughin’, with a bunch of razor bumps under his chin and neck, lookin’ like a damn burn victim. The niggas were really tryna play us close. I shook my head. Then another one spoke up.

  “Yo, fuck that. I got five beans on my mans ’n them. Word up.”

  Okay, five hundred dollars wasn’t enough to get a bitch’s pussy wet, but it was a start. Me and Chanel glanced at each other, thinkin’ if we played it right, we was ’bout to house these muhfuckas for some major paper. Before you knew it, ’bout thirty muhfuckas was diggin’ in they pockets ready to get it poppin’. Most of ’em had they bets on the niggas, which was all good. Even a few bitches wanted in, but they rode with the dick. But them soft hoes and niggas were all pullin’ out peanuts. And I ain’t the one.

  “What, that’s all you cheap niggas got?” I asked, openin’ up my Balenciaga bag and pullin’ out a roll of hundreds. “If ya pockets light, then say they light.” I smirked. “But don’t try ’n play a dime-piece like me.” I tossed the roll on the table. “Two rounds, double or nothin’.”

  Some nigga named Skratch took the knot and tossed it over to Cash, who started countin’ it. When he finished, he started smilin’. “Well, my niggas…looks like ya’ll gonna need to come hard or go home. I got five G’s in my hand. Let’s make it do what it do.”

  “Ah, shit…this gonna be like snatchin’ candy from a baby,” Leo said, laughin’ and lookin’ over at his partner. “Ya’ll sure you wanna lose ya paper?”

  “That’s chump change, nigga,” I said, walkin’ over to the rack wall, gettin’ my stick. “Besides, even if me and my girl can’t really play, I’ma always be a winner, baby.” I winked at the nigga. Chanel walked over and stood in wait while some nigga tried to get at her. She igged his ass. The niggas were tryin’ hard to keep they eyes off our asses, but we was killin’ ’em. I threw an extra shake in my hips, just to fuck with ’em.

  Chanel sucked her teeth. “You always draggin’ me into some shit. Hand me a stick, bitch.” I held in my laugh.

  Leo broke strong, and that’s all she wrote. Four balls clanked in. The niggas were stripes. We were solids. A few niggas were talkin’ and laughin’ but most of ’em had they eyes pressed up on the game. Niggas had cheddar ridin’ on the table and didn’t wanna miss shit. The rules were simple: call ya pockets, two rounds, winner takes all.

  Tie-breaker if each team lost one round.

  He sank two more balls, then missed. I handed Chanel my bag. Took my stick and leaned in, spread my legs and bent over, givin’ muhfuckas a ringside view of my fatty. Yeah, I was fuckin’ with ’em. I pointed to the corner right pocket with my stick, then licked my lips real sexy-like. I took my eye off the table for a hot minute and caught the stares of a few niggas eye-ballin’ me. I made one shot; missed the other.

  “Bitch,” Chanel snapped. “You know ya ass can’t play this damn shit, and we ’bout to lose.”

  Bronze laughed. “It’s cool, baby,” he said, chalkin’ his stick, “we don’t mind takin’ ya money. I’ll even buy ya drinks the rest of the night.” He gave his boy some dap, then slayed the rest of the game. Niggas was gettin’ real amped. “Rack ’em up, baby.”

  I bit my lip. Chanel sucked her teeth. The nigga Leo broke again, strong. This time only three balls went in. Again, the niggas were stripes. He sank one ball; missed the next.

  Chanel took her stick, picked up the chalk, then asked, “What’s this for?” Niggas and bitches started laughin’. She shrugged. “What?”

  “Bitch,” I snapped, “just try ’n hit a damn ball in. And we’re solids.”

  “I know, I know. Damn.” She leaned in, let her titties smile at all the happy niggas, then sank a ball in. She jumped up, actin’ all excited ’n shit. The bitch had the niggas goin’. They was really lookin’ at us like we were two dumb hoes. She re-chalked her stick between her shots, rockin’ the table. Niggas started shiftin’ ’round, bitches started grinnin’. “Eight ball, corner pocket. Oh, I’m so nervous.” I wanted to bust out laughin’ at her theatrical ass. She stood straight, shook out her hands, took a deep breath, then leaned back over.

  My eyes swept across the room, checkin’ the niggas. I peeped the way Cash was lookin’ at Chanel like he was ready to throw her ass ’cross the pool table and deep dick her down. The nigga even grabbed at his dick a few times.

  “C’mon, girl,” I said, “you can do it.” My lips broke into a wide smile the minute the shiny black ball sank. We jumped up and down, screamin’, actin’ all hyped ’n shit. “Rack ’em up, muhfuckas,” I said. Chanel unpinned her ’do, shakin’ out her thick, curly hair, then ran her fingas through it. The way she did it was sexy as fuck. I looked around the room again and noticed a few niggas’ jaws were tight. I smiled again.

  “Good game,” Leo said. “Let’s see how lucky ya’ll get now.”

  I laughed, shakin’ my ass over to the table. A few niggas was tryna get my attention with they eyes, but I igged ’em. “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” I said, chalkin’ my stick. I shook out my hands, closed my eyes real tight, then stared at the table.

  “Oh, yeah,” I heard someone say, “ya’ll niggas got this. Chick’s game is whack.” A few niggas snickered.

  “Yeah, yeah, yeah,” I said, cuttin’ my eyes over at him. “And so is ya dick game, m
uhfucka.” Niggas started clownin’ him. That shut his dumb ass up. I took a deep breath, then made a strong-ass break. Four balls scattered in.

  “Stripes,” I called out, smilin’. I heard a few niggas chucklin’ and talkin’ ’bout gettin’ lucky or some shit like that. But a bitch kept her eye on the table, tryna map out my next move. I was ready to get my drink and smoke on and was gettin’ bored with clownin’ these muhfuckas. I glanced over my shoulder at Chanel and grinned. She smiled. Then I straight-housed them niggas, leavin’ them gaggin’. “Eight ball, side pocket,” I said, watchin’ it sink. “Run me my money, niggas.” I high-fived Chanel. Niggas who had paper on us was cheerin’ and two-steppin’ ’round, talkin’ mad shit. The rest of the niggas was mad tight.

  “Good game,” Leo and his boy, Bronze, said. We shook hands. “Yo, let me get ya number. I like how you move,” Leo stated.

  “I bet you do. But we gonna keep it on the table. So run me my money, little man.”

  “Yeah, aiight. I’ll show you little, alright.”

  “No, lil’ daddy, the only thing you gonna show me is my paper. ’Cause you and ya nigga just got got. Bye-bye,” I said, wavin’ him on. Chanel started laughin’. The nigga was swoll.

  Cash walked over to us, grinnin’. “Yo, why you game my mans ’n them?” he asked, handin’ me a stack of paper.

  “’Cause I’ma hustler, nigga. That’s what we do. Thought you knew.” I tossed the money in my bag.

  He laughed, eyein’ Chanel. She rolled her eyes, then twisted her face up. “Ugh! Why you all up in my damn face?”

  “’Cause you fine, baby—”

  “What you ladies drinkin’?” a nigga with a deep sexy voice asked us, cuttin’ Cash’s ass off. The muhfucka was the color of tar, but had beautiful smooth skin with shiny black brows, long eyelashes, beautiful big, dark eyes, and a head full of thick curly hair. He was rockin’ all white and the ice around his wrist and ears told me he was paid. Fine! Fine! Fine! That’s all a bitch can say. He was ’bout six feet two and I could tell the nigga got it in at the gym the way his white muscle shirt hugged his chest and stretched ’round his huge arms. Chanel peeped him, too, and her whole ’tude changed. She answered before I could open my mouth.

  “Surprise us,” she said, eyein’ him all sexy-like and grinnin’. He smiled. And a bitch almost passed the fuck out when I saw those straight, white teeth and deep dimples. Cash peeped how we was checkin’ for his sexy ass.

  “Oh, I see how ya’ll do. This pretty muhfucka come ’round and ya’ll ready to toss the pussy at him, but a nigga like me can barely get love. What, I ain’t black enough for ya asses?” he asked, throwin’ his arms open. Everyone laughed. He introduced the sexy dude as Coal. I smiled. The name fit him perfectly ’cause that’s exactly how black he was. But ugly he was not. This muhfucka Coal was a beautiful, black diamond. I could feel my pussy churnin’ as I imagined havin’ my legs up over his shoulders with him shovin’ his tar-black dick in and outta me. I would bet my 960-dollar heels that the nigga had some good dick. But if he didn’t, he still could get it. Hell, the muhfucka coulda had a little dick and one nut, and…um, well, maybe not. I snapped to my senses and almost hit the fuckin’ floor when Cash said that fine, black, sexy nigga was his nephew.

  Chanel let out a disgusted grunt.

  Coal eyed me, then Chanel, and grinned. “One surprise for two beautiful ladies coming right up,” he said, walkin’ off. We—uh, correction—I excused us from Cash since Chanel was in bitch mode. I igged it, but as soon as we found a seat on the wraparound sofa, I confronted her ass.

  “Bitch, what’s up with the stankness?” She reached into her orange Hèrmes bag, pullin’ out a pack of Doublemint. She took a stick, then offered me a piece. I shook my head. “No, bitch,” I snapped. “I wanna know why you actin’ all shady ’n shit.” She looked at me like I was buggin’ or somethin’. “Don’t look at me like that. You know what I’m talkin’ ’bout. You did that shit at the park, too, but I didn’t say shit. Now you here servin’ it. So what’s good?”

  She rolled the gum up in her mouth. “How you know that nigga?”

  “Who?” I asked, playin’ stupid.

  “That nigga Cash.”

  “I met him a while back when we were playin’ the Brooklyn Café,” I said, hopin’ she wouldn’t ask nothin’ else. “Dude was tryna get at me at first, but once I made it clear he wasn’t my flava he fell back. I run into him e’ery now and then. Why?”

  She looked over at him, shakin’ her head. “I don’t like him.”

  “Girl, you don’t even know him,” I said, laughin’.

  “I don’t have to know him to know a snake when I see one.” She looked me dead in the eyes. “And that nigga over there”—she nodded toward Cash—“is a Mojave rattlesnake.”

  I had to laugh, rememberin’ Chanel’s crazy fascination with reptiles. She knew e’ery type of snake listed, and the Mojave rattlesnake was one of the deadliest snakes in the world. And Cash was definitely a dangerous-type nigga.

  “So I guess the nigga can’t get no pussy from ya?” I asked, still laughin’.

  “Bitch, is you serious? Not hardly. That nigga will never splash his venom up in me. Hell, I wouldn’t even fuck his grimy ass with Tamia’s pussy. And we both know how much mileage that has on it.” We cracked up laughin’. Nothin’ else needed to be said.

  We sat takin’ in the sights, pointin’ out which niggas were hot and which were not; which chicks were bangin’ and which were busted.

  We peeped a few niggas walkin’ ’round the room carryin’ six-hundred-dollar bottles of Dom P and eight-hundred-dollar bottles of Krug, drinkin’ outta them shits like it was water. Neither of us were really impressed. But the nigga who did impress us was Coal when he came back with a twenty-five hundred-dollar bottle of Rémy Martin Louis XIII. I think Chanel and I were both ready to drop down low and suck the nigga’s dick.

  He walked over to us, smilin’ that Crest-white smile. “I figured top-of-the-line beauties deserved a top-of-the-line drink,” he said, handin’ us the bottle with two snifters. “Enjoy.”

  “What, you not gonna drink with us?” Chanel asked, eyein’ him up and down. Now the bitch was all flirty ’n shit.

  He made a slight gesture with his head to the left of us. Chanel and I peeped a brown-skinned chick draped in some ill shit over in the corner with two other high-post bitches. She stopped talkin’ and looked over in our direction for a hot second, then started talkin’ and laughin’ again. Without words, we already knew—the bitch was gettin’ the dick.

  “Not tonight,” he said, smilin’ and lickin’ his lips. “Maybe some other time.”

  “I like the sound of that,” Chanel said. This time the bitch and her girls looked over at us. Chanel kept on flirtin’. “Maybe we can set somethin’ up for later.” I elbowed her ass. I was not beat to be havin’ no shit pop off with some bitch over some dick; especially some dick I had no intentions of fuckin’ or suckin’.

  He grinned at both of us. “Are we talkin’ a two-for-one special?”

  Me and Chanel looked at each other, then back at him like he had been sippin’ on bleach or some shit. This muhfucka was tryna get it in with the both of us. “Nigga, please,” I said, rollin’ my eyes. “Nice try, but no cigar. This is between you and my girl.”

  He smiled, shruggin’ his shoulders. “Can’t blame a brotha for tryin’.”

  Chanel slid the tip of her pierced tongue across her tangerine-painted lips. “So…like I was sayin’, maybe we can make it happen.”

  “Maybe,” he replied, cuttin’ his eyes back over to his chick, then eyein’ Chanel like he was ready to slam his dick in her mouth. “Figure out a way to get me your number without lettin’ my girl catch you and we can make it happen. But be clear. I’ll give ya the dick, but there’s only one chick who’ll ever have the top spot.” He gestured his head back over toward Miss Thing.

  Chanel smiled. “Oh, trust. That’s all I’m ever gonna want.”

/>   “Then so be it,” he stated, pourin’ us our first drink. “Get at me with ya number without gettin’ caught and it’s all yours.” And with that said, the nigga spun on his Ferragamos, leavin’ Chanel and me gaggin’ as he walked over to his chick and planted a kiss on her lips. She wrapped her arms around him, lettin’ e’eryone know he was hers. I wasn’t mad at her ’cause I woulda probably did the same damn thing to let them bitches know what time it was. Too bad she thought she was the only one.

  “That bitch can’t handle a nigga like him,” Chanel said as we sipped our drinks. The shit was so fuckin’ smooth goin’ down. My nipples got real hard as the heat went through my body. “And I know that gold-plated bitch ain’t wettin’ his dick right. A nigga like that needs a bitch with that platinum pussy in his life.” She lifted her drink up in Coal’s and his chick’s direction, smiled, then took another sip. “Enjoy him while you can, honey, ’cause I’ma be fuckin’ ya man and runnin’ his pockets before the end of summer.”

  I rolled my eyes, laughin’. Crazy thing, I knew the bitch was serious. “I need another damn blunt,” I said, gettin’ up to go to the bathroom.

  CHAPTER NINETEEN

  Close ya eyes…count to ten…ready or not here I cum…nuttin’ all over ya tongue…the shit done got good to ya…got ya moanin’ ’n groanin’…beggin’ a bitch to wet ya dick…yeah, just like that…make it pop, nigga…yeah, don’t stop…get it hot, nigga…beat it up ’til you make it drop…

  I didn’t stumble back up in the house until almost seven a.m. We shut the damn 40/40 down, then hung outside blazin’ and talkin’ shit to niggas who were tryna get at us. And a bitch was lit the hell up. Do you hear me? I’m talkin’ extra fucked up. At first we kept it cute, sippin’ from our glasses ’n shit, but after the fourth round, we tossed our glasses and started neckin’ that Réemy straight to the head. Niggas were buggin’ when they came by to congratulate us on our game and saw that we had dried the bottle out. Muhfuckas couldn’t believe how long and deep our necks were.
