BFF'S 3

by Brenda Hampton

  “I have a problem with getting on my knees and crawling to you, and I also have a problem with you sending someone to my home to get me. How do you know where I live, if I haven’t told you?”

  “I always know where those special people are in my life, and even though I wasn’t willing to admit it earlier, you are, indeed, special, Evelyn. Real special.”

  I didn’t want to waste much more time on this, simply because I was so ready to tear into this man. And since he’d met me halfway by sending someone to my home to get me, I figured I could meet him halfway too. I dropped to my knees, and then I slowly crawled over to him. He watched, leaning slightly to his left, with his index finger against his temple. His eyes were narrowed, and his dick grew longer with every inch forward that I took. When I reached him, I maneuvered my body in between his legs. He sat up straight and then lifted my pajama top over my head. I was naked underneath. He cupped my exposed ass with his hands and squeezed it.

  “This is it, Evelyn. Make it count for something.”

  I tried my best to do just that, but once again, I found myself being beaten down and defeated by Charles’s dick. He tore me up on that sofa, and as he bent me over the back of it, I was punished for not abiding by his rules.

  “No more, baby. You hear me?” he said, spewing his words while grinding way deep in the jungle. “This is it, and the next time I give you some of this, I’m going to make you pay for it.”

  “Whatever you want,” I couldn’t help saying, as I was on the verge of an orgasm. “You . . . you keep fucking me this good, and you can have whatever you want.”

  “I know. That’s because I have the power, don’t I?”

  “Hell, yes, you do. All of it and then some.”

  He slapped my ass hard and then turned up the heat when he squatted behind me to catch my fluids in his mouth. I damn near jumped over the sofa, but he held my legs to stop me.

  “Don’t fly away until tomorrow,” he said. “For the next few hours, you’re mine.”

  Yes, I was his, and after he was done with me, he called his driver and had him take me home. I was in a daze as I walked through the door and bumped into a wall. My hair was a mess, my whole body was sweating, yet my pussy was so pleased. I lay on the sofa, cuddling my pillow. The only thought that was embedded in my brain was, Charles.

  Trina

  My heart started to beat faster, and I was totally speechless, after Keith asked how my trip to New York was. Did he make a mistake, or did he really know I had gone to New York to see Sasha? I had to pretend that I didn’t know what he was talking about, because I simply wasn’t prepared for this.

  “New York? You mean Vegas.”

  “I didn’t stutter. I said New York. You went to New York, not Vegas.”

  My face fell, cracked, and shattered into a thousand pieces. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

  “I’ma give you time to think about how to approach this,” he said. “Meet me at home.”

  He walked away and got into his car. After he drove off, I put my things in the trunk, then got inside my car. On the drive home, I was a nervous wreck. I had to tell him the truth about everything, and that included my feelings for Sasha, which had been all washed away. I felt like a complete fool. Keith didn’t deserve this. If I lost him over this, I didn’t know what I would do.

  I parked my car in front of the house, and as soon as I entered, I saw numerous trash bags at the door. I could also tell that many of my belongings were inside the bags, and that made me ill. My stomach hurt so badly. I wanted to throw up, because I couldn’t believe that while I was in New York, he was here packing my shit. I turned to address him as he sat, with a twisted face, in the living room.

  “What is this?” I said, pointing at the bags. “Are you putting me out of here? Is that what you’re doing?”

  “You’re damn right I am. You don’t belong here, Trina, and shame on me for thinking that you did.”

  Now, that hurt. I swallowed the lump in my throat and did my best to clean this up quickly.

  “Okay, look. I’m sorry for not telling you about my trip to New York, but I was sure that you wouldn’t understand. Every time I brought it up, it seemed as if you weren’t interested in hearing about it. It’s like you don’t think my work is worthy of being on display, and Sasha was telling me all the things I needed to hear.”

  “That’s bullshit, Trina, and you know it. Don’t you stand there and blame me for your lies, especially when you know damn well that I wouldn’t have had any problem with you going to New York if it were strictly about business.”

  “It was about business. That’s why I went.”

  He looked at me as if he wanted to get up from that chair and choke the life out of me. I was holding back on saying much more. I didn’t want this situation to turn ugly, and I damn sure didn’t want him to put me out of here. I had no money, nor did I have anyplace to go.

  “You know what gets me?” he said.

  Right then, my phone rang, and it was Kayla. I hurried to answer, just in case I had to go to her for a place to stay. Sounding very unstable, she asked if I had Evelyn’s address. I told her I would text it to her, since Keith was starting to get louder in the background. I ended the call and quickly texted the address to her.

  “You thought I was that damn stupid,” he went on to say. “Do you really believe that? You paraded around here like everything was all good, made your secretive phone calls, thinking that I was asleep. Then you told me every lie that you could possibly tell me to make me think you were going on a trip with Evelyn and Kayla. If that wasn’t enough, and through all your deception, you had the audacity to tell me you loved me. What in the hell kind of love is that?”

  It was apparent that he knew more than I had thought he knew. I walked into the living room and tried to explain what I’d done.

  “I do love you. I have always loved you, but sometimes, it feels as if it’s not enough. I’m still a little confused about certain things, and there are times when I do feel attracted to women. I didn’t intend to act on those feelings, until Sasha called me out of the blue and started talking about helping me. Our conversations took a turn in another direction, and when she asked me to come see her, I felt as if I should go and work through these feelings inside of me, and also see what I could do to enhance my career.”

  Keith chuckled, then shook his head. “You sound like a damn fool. And you’ve been confused since I met you. I asked you to marry me, but you can’t, because you’re confused. I asked you to have my children, but you can’t, because you’re confused. I asked you to move in with me, and even though you evidently did, your initial reaction was that you couldn’t, because you were confused. You’re damn right you are confused. And a confused woman should not be living here with me. So, I have taken it upon myself to pack your bags and allow you to go find yourself. Take some time to figure out who or what you really want. Right now it’s apparent that it’s not me.”

  Tears started to well up in my eyes. This shit hurt, especially since I had to admit that it was all on me. I couldn’t blame him for anything, not one single thing, and he had every right to be angry with me. I moved closer to him and knelt down in front of him as I attempted to make my case.

  “I know what I want. I don’t need to go figure out anything else, and I’m staying right here with you. We’re going to work through this, Keith. I’m not letting you walk away from me, and that is something I am sure of.”

  “You weren’t so sure when you happily walked your ass out of here and went to New York. I watched you these past few weeks with so much pain and hurt in my heart. Even while we were in New York, I saw the way you and Sasha looked at each other. I noticed how there was something sparking between the two of you, and I get tired of going places with you, and you are looking at women harder than me. From day one, I knew what you were plotting to do. I didn’t say one word, because I wanted to know how far you would go. The last thing I want is a s
neaky-ass woman. I’m not doing this with you, Trina. I can’t ignore how much this is affecting me, and as far as I can see, we have no future.”

  His words stung. I dropped my head on his lap and started to cry. He knew that it took a lot for me to express my emotions, but I couldn’t hold back. I needed Keith more than he ever knew. And while he was so right about my attraction to women, it didn’t mean that I didn’t want to be with him. It didn’t mean that I wasn’t in love with him. I loved him with all my heart. It was just that I had needed a little more time to explore what was inside me. Only a little. And after going to see Sasha, I knew that being with another woman was not where I wanted to be.

  “Don’t say that to me,” I sobbed. “We do have a future, and I can’t lose you, Keith. I can’t, and you’ve got to understand why I did what I did.”

  “Thanks for letting me know that you fucked her.”

  He shoved me away from him and stood up. As he tried to walk away from me, I tugged at his arm. I begged and pleaded for him to give us another chance.

  “Please, Keith. I did not have sex with her. I promise you I didn’t. You have to believe me.”

  “Believe you? After you’ve been doing all of this lying to me? Woman, please. I don’t believe shit you say, and you’ll say anything just to stay in this house, living confused.”

  He snatched his arm away from me and started walking. I called after him, but he ignored me and jogged up the stairs. I followed behind him, with so much hurt in my eyes. I was disappointed that I couldn’t get through to him. He walked into the bedroom.

  “Will you please listen to me?” I said, entering the bedroom. “What do I need to say for you to listen to me?”

  “You don’t have to say anything. Now, I’ve been nice and very calm about this. In a minute, I’m going to lose it. I want you out of here, Trina. Nothing else needs to be said.”

  I stood and looked at him without saying a word. He turned his head to look in another direction. I knew I could get through to him, but he was so stubborn at times.

  “Keith, I’m begging you not to end this with me. I will marry you. I will have your children, I will do whatever it is that you need me to do. But what I need is for you to forgive me. Please forgive me, and don’t do this to us.”

  He shook his head in disgust, plopped on the bed, and kept massaging his hands. “Now you want to marry me. Now you want to have my baby. This is some funny shit, Trina, and you must really think I’m a damn fool. Go marry your girlfriend in New York. Go fuck her some more, and just maybe, maybe she can help you with your career.”

  “I did not fuck her!” I screamed. “All we did was kiss, and that was it! I didn’t want to go any further with her, because I wasn’t feeling her like that! It was a big mistake, and I’m so, so sorry!”

  “Don’t raise your goddamned voice at me, especially after you’re the one out there, fucking cheating on me! And you didn’t make no mistake. What you did was fuck up.” His voice went up a notch.

  I could tell my time was running out.

  “You fucked up, Trina, and you won’t get another chance!” He got off the bed and stood directly in front of me. My head was lowered, but he lifted my chin so I could look at him. “You know why you don’t get another chance? Because your lies already caused one of your bitches to put a knife in me. Your lies almost killed me before, and your lies had me lying up in a hospital bed for three weeks, not knowing if I would ever be right again. I’m not going to sit here and wait for another one of your bitches to come and attack me. There was something in Sasha’s eyes that told me she didn’t have all her marbles. You didn’t notice that, because you were too busy trying to figure out when and where you wanted to fuck her. But you know what? My thanks go to ole dad once again for confirming everything that I needed to know.”

  Keith had it all figured out. With Mr. Washington working for the government and somehow or someway being affiliated with the CIA, it wasn’t hard for Keith to get ahold of my phone records, bank records, flight information, whatever he needed. I felt horrible, and at this point, there was nothing else I could say.

  “Now, Trina,” he said, “it’s time for you to go.”

  I tried to swallow the oversize lump in my throat, which felt stuck. It wouldn’t go away, so I wiped my tears and then pivoted away from him. My legs were so weak that I could barely walk down the stairs. And when he slammed the bedroom door behind me, my whole body shook. One by one, I carried the trash bags containing my possessions to my car. And just as I grabbed the last bag, my phone rang again. This time, it was Evelyn. I was so frustrated that I put down the bag, answered the call, and yelled at her.

  “What is it? I’m busy right now. I’ll have to call you back!”

  I threw my phone down, almost breaking it. This was not good for me, and I knew it. I looked up the stairs and softly called Keith’s name.

  “Are you listening to me?” I said. “I hope you are, because all I can say to you right now is that I love you. With all my heart, I truly do.”

  Unfortunately, there was no response, so I left, taking the last bag out of Keith’s house.

  I drove around in my car for what seemed like hours, thinking about what had just happened and trying to figure out where I should go. I could probably go stay with either one of my BFF’s, but I didn’t feel like discussing all that had happened today. Instead, I pulled my car over to the curb and cried my ass off. I wound up falling asleep, and when I woke up, it was morning. I wiped my mouth and then decided to go to Evelyn’s place, instead of Kayla’s. Jacoby was still living there, and I didn’t want to inconvenience two people. I was sure that Evelyn would have her gripes too, but when she opened the door at her place, she had a smile on her face.

  “Come in and tell me what happened,” she said. “Did Kayla tell you about our fight? I hope you’re not mad at me, because that was her fault, not mine.”

  “I—I don’t know what you’re talking about. I haven’t spoken to Kayla. I’m here because when I got back from New York yesterday, Keith put me out.”

  “What?” she shouted as I walked inside and plopped down on the sofa. “Why did he put you out? Then again, never mind. I warned you, Trina. I warned you about this, and I told you that going to New York wasn’t a good idea.”

  “I know, and I made one big fool of myself. All Sasha wanted to do was have sex. She lied about people wanting to help me. Nobody wanted to help me. All she wanted to do was help herself.”

  “Duuuh! You didn’t know that? Some women are just as bad as men. You have to be careful out there. You’re lucky that she didn’t cut yo’ ass up and leave you in a trash can somewhere, stinking. I’m surprised that you fell for her games, Trina. This is not like you. What exactly were you thinking?”

  “I know. Crazy, right? That’s why I’m so mad at myself. Keith is never going to forgive me, and he made that perfectly clear.”

  “It is a hard pill to swallow, but how did he know you went to New York? And whatever you do, don’t go pointing the finger at me. Everybody wants to blame me, and I assure you that I have not spoken to Keith.”

  “I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m sure he did some little investigations on his own, but I’m also sure that his dad gave him some information too.”

  “How could his dad give him information about you? He doesn’t know you like that, does he?”

  I sat silent for a few seconds; then I spoke up. “He knows everything about everything, in case you didn’t know that. The man works for the government, and without going into details, he is privy to a lot of information.”

  Evelyn’s eyes bugged out. “Is he really CIA? I knew there was something about him, because don’t no regular person have access to underground bunkers.”

  “Bunkers? What are you talking about?”

  “I’m talking about going underground to work and do other great things. It’s where he takes me to screw my brains out, and I must say that last night was spectacular.”


  I shook my head, then massaged it, because it hurt. “Evelyn, you need to stop. I don’t think you should make a move in that direction, and I’m just telling you that for your own good.”

  “Yeah, like I tried to tell you about going to New York. You didn’t listen to me, so please don’t sit there and tell me what I should or shouldn’t do. With that being said, I guess you came here because you need a place to stay. I don’t mind you staying here, but even though this place is paid for, I still want you to contribute something. It’s out of respect, if you know what I mean.”

  “That’s nice of you, and thanks for letting me stay here. I can honestly say that this is a side of you that I could get used to.”

  “I’m not all that bad, trust me. Besides, I do get lonely over here sometimes. It’ll be good to have you around. But please don’t overstay your welcome.”

  “I won’t. As soon as I can figure out a way to get back on my feet, or get back into Keith’s house, I’m out.”

  “I don’t know how long that will be, and if he’s stubborn like his father is, you could be in for a long wait.”

  Evelyn and I started to talk about how she had got hooked up with Charles. We also talked about the fight between her and Kayla. I was stunned. I wanted to believe that she was telling the truth, and if I had to put my money on her instead of Cedric, I would. His dirty ass was out to destroy our friendship and everything about us. I wasn’t sure if Kayla was aware of that or not, but since Evelyn said she thought Cedric had jumped on Kayla, maybe she was starting to open her eyes.

  “I still haven’t spoken to her,” I said. “I’ve had a lot going on myself, but I was going to call her. I don’t want to suggest that we all get together and talk, but sooner or later, we’re going to have to get together and do something about Cedric. He is out of control, and he should be arrested.”
