Love, Lies, and Obsessions

by Demettrea

  While engrossed in a dice game I got a text from Vanessa. I hadn’t spoken to her in hot minute. It was like she couldn’t take the hint that we were over. She was nothing more than a gold digger looking for a meal ticket and I wasn’t it. I looked at the text and couldn't believe what the fuck I was reading. That bitch was nuts.

  Vanessa: since u avoiding me I'll just tell u through a text. You’re gonna be a daddy. Congratulations.

  Never missing a thing , Tez asked if I was alright. "I'm good, but I gotta run. I'll catch up with y'all later."

  “Aight yo. Hit me up later,” Tez said giving me a fist pound.

  I had to find out what Vanessa was talking about. I pulled up to Vanessa's house twenty minutes later. I still had a key to her place so I let myself in. I looked around the house and couldn't find Vanessa. I went upstairs and heard the shower running so I went to the bathroom and yanked the shower curtains back and Vanessa screamed.

  "You scared the shit out of me," she said with a crazy look on her face.

  "Cut the bullshit, what the fuck you mean I’m about to be a daddy?"

  "I'm pregnant baby" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I couldn't have a baby with Vanessa. I was trying to be with Mia. Then it hit me that either this bitch was lying or was pregnant by somebody else because I always strap up.

  "Well who’s the daddy because we used condoms?"

  “Well I'm pregnant and it’s yours; so you might as well tell home girl it’s a wrap. Yeah, I know about her. That's why you ducking and dodging me."

  "I'm about to go cause I don't believe you." This chick was looney. I didn’t know how I ever started messing with her.

  "Nigga, I'm telling you I'm pregnant and that's how you react?"

  "Hell yeah, cause I always strap up. So you better go find ya baby daddy because I ain't the one."

  "Fuck you Harlem. You ain't shit. "

  "But you wanna be with me though? Fuck outta here."

  “If you walk out that door you’ll regret it I promise” Did this bitch just threaten me? “Bitch who the fuck you talking to? Huh? One call and your ass is done. Stay the fuck away from me. Don’t call me for shit or it’s like that for yo ass.” I walked away leaving Vanessa looking dumb.

  When I got to car, I called Jas up. I had a feeling Vanessa was going to be a problem. I knew that I could count on Jas to handle the situation. That’s one reason I had her on my team; she was thorough and had no problem putting in work. Sooner or later Vanessa was going to be trouble.

  Mia

  We never made it to dinner that night. Raymone came in at two in the morning with some lame ass excuse. I was over the whole thing and we were back to not talking to each other.

  It was Saturday, the day of Kita’s kick back. I was a little nervous cause I hadn’t seen Harlem in a about a week. I decided to wear a baby blue strapless sundress by BeBe and white strappy sandals by Gucci. I pulled my hair up in a curly ponytail and sprayed some Escada. I hadn’t been feeling Raymone lately because he was up to no good. I even started looking for apartments. I wasn’t even going to tell him I was moving. I was just going to move a little at a time till all my stuff was gone. There was only so much I could take and I was fed up.

  After giving myself the once over I grabbed my purse and keys and headed out the door. Kita only lived about thirty minutes away. When I pulled up there were quite a few cars there. I didn’t see any of Harlem’s cars so I wondered if he was still coming.

  I grabbed my purse and got out of the car. Everyone was in the backyard so I made my way back there. The first person I saw was Kita. “Hey Mama. Look at you looking all sexy and shit.” I greeted her.

  “Hey Chica, I missed yo crazy ass.”

  “Whatever bitch, you know my number.”

  “Vice versa.” She gave me that look that said don’t start. I laughed.

  “Come on lets go kick some ass in spades.

  “Hey fellas,” I spoke to Tez and Markie as I walked up to the table.

  “What’s up little sis,” Tez asked.

  “Nothing much. Where ya boy at?” I asked referring to Harlem.

  “He should be here in a minute.”

  I couldn’t wait to see his fine ass, but I spoke too soon cause he came strolling through the gate with some light skinned bitch on his arms. I was pissed. Who the fuck was this bitch? I acted as if it didn’t faze me but Kita knew better. “You want me to make her leave cause you know I have no problem doing so” Kita asked. “For what? He’s not my man.” Harlem walked up to our table and spoke. “What’s good fam?" Everyone spoke but me. I acted as if I didn’t hear him.

  “What’s good Mia?”

  “Hey.” I spoke without looking up from my card game. I guess he got the hint.

  “Hi. I’m Myra”

  Who the fuck was this bitch. She held her hand out for me to shake. “Hi.” I gave her a dry ass hi leaving her hand in the air. I wasn’t the type to be friendly with new bitches. “I got next.” Harlem said. “Nigga yo ass can’t play no cards,” Tez teased. “My mans I’m gonna ask you to stop hating,” Harlem replied laughing. “Yeah okay nigga. You can sit down next and get that ass tapped,” Kita joked. We continued with our game and Kita and I ended up winning.

  Harlem

  Lil’ mama was looking good as fuck. Had I known she was going to be here I would’ve never brought Myra with me. I had to make sure I talked to Mia before I left. I sat down with Markie to play her and Kita in spades. When Tez said I couldn’t play he wasn’t lying. I just wanted to interact with Mia. I could tell by her mood she was pissed that I brought a date. But hell, she got a nigga so she should have been cool.

  We ended up losing to the ladies but it was all good. The tension between Mia and I was so thick that even Myra sensed it because she started acting clingy. “Bae can you go get me something to drink,” she whined. I made a mental note to talk to her about that bae shit. All we were was friends with benefits. She was not my woman.

  “The coolers right over there honey.” Leave it to Kita’s ass. Myra gave Kita a look and I knew if I didn’t step in quick it was going to be some shit. “Come on Myra lets go get something to drink.” I was about to take this chick home cause I didn’t need no drama. “Look, I ain’t feeling this. I’m ready to head out” I told her. “Good, cause these people are ghetto,” she said with a sour look. No she didn’t. “Let’s go before I say something I regret.” I let her get her drink and we said our goodbyes.

  When we pulled up to Myra’s house, she asked if I was coming in. “Not tonight Ma. I got a lot of shit to handle.”

  “What like that bitch at the barbecue?”

  “Hold up Ma. I’m grown and you not my woman so don’t question me about what I do or who I do it with.” She got out of the car and slammed the door. I saw it was time to dead that shit because she was becoming too attached. You give a bitch the dick and they start claiming.

  I waited for her to get in the door before pulling off. I was hoping to make it back to Kita’s house before Mia left. I needed to see her. When I got there, they were still chilling in the backyard. I walked up to Mia and grabbed her from the back. I whispered in her ear.

  “Can I talk to you for a minute Ma?”

  “Uh, where ya little girlfriend go cause I don’t need no drama?”

  “My girl right here but she playing games.” She smacked her lips. “Excuse you. I’m not ya girl. So get ya hands off me.” She tried moving my hands off her but I didn’t move my hands. Instead, I walked her away from everybody so that we could have a moment alone. She was wearing Escada and that shit was making my dick hard as fuck. Boy what I wouldn’t give to bend her over right then and there.

  “Harlem let me go.” She was acting but she didn’t want me to let her go because she was barely pushing me away.

  “Naw. You know damn well you don’t want me to let you go.”

  “Whatever. What do you wanna talk about?”

  “Why you playing with a nigga. I’m trying t
o make you mines but you keep putting up with that fuck boy and his bullshit.” I was nibbling on her neck and she moaned.

  “Look Harlem…”

  Before she could even get her words out; I was tonguing her down and damn did she taste good as fuck. We were in Kita’s guest room and I was about to do some bold shit. I was about to leave my mark on her.

  While I was kissing her, I pulled her dress up over her ass and placed my hands there. She liked it too, cause not once did she try and stop me. I turned her around so that her back was facing me and I pushed her panties to the side and started playing with her clit while nibbling on her neck. Damn I loved this girl. She just didn’t know how much.

  “Awww fuckkk! Harlem that shit feels so good. What are you doing to me?”

  “You like that shit Ma?’

  “Yessss! Ssss. Oooh baby right there, that’s my spot.”

  “Cum for me Ma. I want you to cum all over my hands.” Minutes later, she was leaking like a faucet. I loved every minute of it too. The faces she was making was turning a nigga on.

  “Shittt! I’m cuummmmin. Fuck!” I took my fingers that had her juices on them and licked them. She tasted good as fuck.

  “Why did you do that shit Harlem,” She asked slapping me on the arm.

  “Ma quit it. You didn’t want me to stop, because if you had you would have stopped me.” I laughed.

  “Whatever. Now I need to go home because I don’t have any clean panties now.”

  “That ain’t nothing compared to what I wanna do to you.”

  “Whatever boy. Move, I need to go to the bathroom and wash up.” She pushed past me.

  Mia

  I couldn’t believe I let him do that shit to me but it felt too good to stop him. Damn that man was fine as hell and I had a weakness when it came to him. I cleaned myself up and tossed my panties in my purse cause there was no way I could put them back on. When I went back into the bedroom Harlem was lying down on the bed.

  “Come here Ma.” I walked over to him and he pulled me down on the bed with him.

  “You know I love yo little ass right?”

  “That’s a powerful word you shouldn’t just throw out there.”

  “For real Ma. I tried to get you out of my head being that you got a man; but I can’t. I want to come home to you every night and wake up to your face in the morning. I see you carrying my seed someday.” I really didn’t know what to say so I kept quiet. We just laid there for about twenty minutes and he held me. It felt good too.

  “You sleep Ma?”

  “Naw. I’m awake.”

  “Well I’m about to head home, you coming?” He asked. Hell yeah I was coming. I don’t know what got into me all of a sudden but I wanted to be wherever he was. “Yeah I’m coming.” I got up and put my shoes on. Harlem grabbed my hand, and we headed out. Kita was in the kitchen cleaning. “Hey Mama, we out. I’ll call you tomorrow maybe we can go shopping and have lunch.”

  “Ok. See you later Mama. And Harlem take care of my girl or I’ll cut yo ass.”

  “Man go on with that. I got her.” We left out and Harlem told me to follow him to his house. He lived in Bloomfield Hills in a gated community. I thought my condo was nice but his shit was unbelievable. It had to be worth at least a mil. He got out of his car, came to mine, and opened the door.

  When we entered his house, I was in complete awe. He had a black, red, and white theme going on. And the carpet, oh my God, it was so soft my feet sunk right into it. His living room had all white furniture. The kitchen had all stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. I was in love with his house. After looking around, we headed to the den where we watched "Love Jones". I was sitting on the floor between his legs, he was rubbing my shoulders, and it felt good as hell.

  Half way through the movie, he got a phone call. “Yo what’s up?” His whole facial expression changed. I wondered what that was about. “I’m on my way.” He hung up and then looked at me. “I got to go handle some shit real quick ma. I’ll be back make ya self at home.”

  “I could just come back some other time,” I told him.

  “Naw. I want you here when I get back. If you get tired just go upstairs. I shouldn’t be gone too long.” He grabbed my face and kissed me long and hard before heading out.

  Harlem

  I got a phone call that two of my traps had been hit and I was beyond pissed. I don’t know who in their right mind would think it’s ok to steal from me. I was on my way to a warehouse that I owned. We usually held meetings there or handled certain situations. It was so discreet that no one even knew it was there. It was hidden far behind a factory that was abandoned and it was way out in Chesterfield.

  When I pulled up Tez and the rest of the crew was waiting. I parked the Navigator and got out. "What's the deal," I greeted Tez with a fist pound. "All I know is I got a call from Dumb and Dumber over here saying that the spots were robbed," he said while giving John Boy and Quan the evil eye. Those niggas had been caught slipping by the stick-up boys a few times. It was no surprise that they were the ones at the house when it got robbed.

  "How much of a loss did we take," I asked.

  "Six kilos of dope and around two hundred thousand in cash."

  "Fuck man. I wanna know who all was there cause somebody need to find my money and my dope or its 'bout to be some slow singing and flower bringing." Nobody wanted to be the first to speak fearing what I might do to them. Everyone knew I was not one to play when it came to my money.

  "Don't everybody speak at once," said Tez. John Boy was the first to speak. He was a young boy whom I had taken under my wing. I actually thought John Boy had potential. I just hoped he didn't have anything to do with the hit.

  "All I know is me, Red and Quan was at the house on Lindsey counting money. James was supposed to be there counting money but he never showed. I didn't think nothing of it cause we all know he's always late. But now that I think about it, he still hasn't even made contact with nobody." I was furious. I didn't take a big loss because I had plenty of money. It was the fact that someone stole from me and thought it was okay.

  "I want that nigga found dead or alive. And make sure word gets around there is a hundred thousand dollar bounty for anyone who brings him to me, dead or alive. I know I'll see him soon cause there’s too many greedy muthafuckas that want the money." I left leaving everybody to their thoughts. Whoever was responsible would pay and whoever knew me knew I didn't play.

  When I got home, Mia was lying across my bed asleep. I grabbed a throw cover and covered her up before lying down next to her. She must have felt me because she woke up. “Hey. What time is it,” she asked me.

  “Almost one. You staying with me tonight?”

  “I can’t.”

  “Yes you can. He stays out damn near every night leaving you by yourself. Just tell him you were with Kita.” I didn’t give her a chance to respond I just pulled her close and held her. I loved how she felt in my arms. A nigga could most def get used to this. She looked up at me and smiled.

  “What’s wrong Ma?”

  “Nothing. I just feel myself falling for you and it scares the shit out of me.” She confessed what I already knew. “Turn around and look at me.” She turned around and I lifted her chin so that she was looking me in the eyes. “I love the hell out of yo little ass. I would never purposely hurt you. I understand you got some shit to handle with ole boy and I’m willing to let you handle that. Just don’t keep me waiting too long. “I hear you,” she smiled and there went my dick. I tried to scoot back a little so she didn’t feel it but she moved in closer.

  Mia

  I was feeling bold. I leaned up and kissed him and I could taste the remnants of the liquor he had earlier. Mmmm his lips were delicious. I was about to cum just thinking about what those lips could do.

  “Don’t start no shit Ma cause once we go there ain’t no turning back,” he said with a smile. “I know. Maybe I want to go there,” I replied. Did I just say that shit? Lord what hav
e I gotten myself into? Next thing I know he had me flipped over on my back and was tonguing me down. I mean we were going at it like some horny teenagers. He stopped to pull my dress off. He just stood there for a moment staring at my body.

  “What’s wrong? We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.” I was nervous now.

  “Naw Ma, it’s just that you got a banging ass body. Flawless. Mmm.”

  He started nibbling on my nipples, which was my spot, and I instantly got wet. He worked his way from my breast to my belly button. He even kissed and licked the inside of my thighs to my pedicured toes. This man was the truth. I had never had someone put so much time into foreplay.
