A Kingpin's Dream

by Briana Crosby

I woke up the next morning alone; Adonis was gone yet again. I hope he didn’t pull these stunts while we were together because that was going to piss me off. I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. While looking in the mirror, I cursed myself for not taking off my makeup. My skincare was very important to me; I hated bumps and blemishes. I still had on the clothes from last night as well. I had forgotten to take them off, but then again it was probably a good idea that I kept them on because all my pajamas hugged my body and were revealing. I didn’t want Adonis getting too excited.

  I turned on the shower and let it warm up. It was 8am so I had to get ready for work. Adonis said that we were going on an official date today. I was excited because I enjoyed his company and I wanted to see what a man of his caliber did for a “first date.” I jumped in the shower, handled my business and quickly got out. I heard my phone ringing on my nightstand so I wrapped my plush bath towel around my body and headed into my room. A number that I didn’t recognize flashed across my screen. I answered on the fourth ring, “Hello,” I said into the phone.

  “You ready for the big day,” a familiar voice said on the other end.

  I couldn’t do anything but smile. “Yes I am; I’m more than ready.”

  “I’m happy that you are because shit is about to get real,” he chuckled on the other end.

  “What are we doing today?” I asked.

  “Don’t worry about all that ma, just be ready at nine on the dot. I know you have class and work today but I made a couple calls. I got somebody to cover your shift at the hospital and your teacher knows me. He said you’re caught up in class so you don’t have to go today or tomorrow.”

  I was happy about not having to go to work but school not so much. I worked super hard on that psychology assignment. I was still going to see if I could give it to Mr. Boone for extra credit. “What type of date are we going on for you to make moves like this Adonis?” I asked.

  “You'll see baby. I left you some money on ya dresser so that you could go shopping. Gone ‘head and take Persia with you. Ramses told me that he gave Persia some money too so y’all have a girls day out and relax until nine. I’ll call you back, I’m about to conduct a meeting.” He hung up and I stared at the screen.

  I would be lying if I said I didn’t like him dropping money on me like he was doing, I felt like a queen. I’ve never been with a real man before so this was all new to me; so far, I liked it. I called Persia up to see if she wanted to go out with me today and she agreed. We were going to meet downtown on Michigan Ave. to do a little shopping and I needed to stop by the nail shop.

  I got up off the bed to check my drawer so that I could see how much he left me. The money was in white envelope that read, twenty stacks, with a smiley face. There was no way I was going to spend all this money in one day. Half of it was going into my bank account just like the money he left me yesterday. I counted out ten thousand and left the rest in the envelope. I put the ten thousand into my purse and continued to get ready. It shall be an interesting day.

  PERSIA

  Today I was meeting Briana downtown to discuss what had been going on in our lives since we met Adonis and Ramses. We were also going to shop and eat but I knew their asses were going to be the main topic of discussion. Since meeting Ramses, I hadn’t thought about Ivan's trifling' ass the whole time. He constantly called my phone and I constantly sent his ass to voice mail. Y'all know that lyric where Plies said, I introduced her to real and now she hate lames. Well that’s exactly how ya girl felt. I was on cloud nine with Ramses. It seemed like I’ve known him for years. We stay up at the crack of dawn talking about politics, history, our past and future.

  The fact that he's this hard thug on the outside but has remained sweet to me made me feel like he could do no wrong. Mean to the world but sweet to your girl; I thought as I found myself smiling. We’ve been kicking it heavy for the past couple of days. I had been over his house the whole time because I was afraid that Ivan would show up at my condo. I didn’t want to end up outside beating his ass in front of our neighbors, so I avoided confrontation by spending the night with Ramses. He told me that I could stay there as long as I wanted. Hell I wanted to but I knew sooner or later that I was going to have to go home and Ivan would be there. As I parked and waited for Briana, I received another text message from Ivan.

  IVAN: Answer the phone baby please; I don’t know what’s happened to you. Let me know where you are, I’m worried baby.

  ME: I’m ok Ivan; I’m done with you. I don’t need the loft you bought me anymore and you can keep all the cars. I’m officially done. Have a nice life.

  It felt good sending a message like that to the person who stabbed you in the heart constantly. Seconds later he texted me back.

  IVAN: Bitch, if I find out you’re fucking with another nigga, I’m killing you. I’m not taking shit back because you aren’t going any fucking where. Mark my words, I will find you.

  While shaking my head, I screen shot the messages so that I could show them to Ramses later on. Hell, he told me all of my problems were now his when we laid in bed last night so I didn’t have a problem showing him the messages that I just received. Especially if Ivan was now threatening my life. I saw Briana pull up on the opposite side of the street and immediately got out of the car and ran across the street before my ass got ran over.

  “Girl you know you’re working that dress,” I yelled surprising her. It had been a couple days since I saw her so I was excited. Briana and I never went more than a day without seeing each other.

  “Thanks boo, you’re rocking them jeans. Let me find out my bestie getting thick,” she laughed as we hugged.

  “We have so much shit to catch up on Briana. The past couple of days I’ve spent with Ramses have been nothing short of amazing. I have so much to tell you.”

  “I’m ready to hear it all, I need to tell you about Adonis too,” Briana said as we walked down the sidewalk. We decided to get our nails and feet done before we did any shopping. The nail shop was empty so we were seated immediately. While our feet soaked in the warm water, Briana spoke, “Okay Persia, you go first, I need to know why you haven’t been returning my calls. What has he done to you girl? You seem to be glowing,” she said while smirking at me.

  “When you leave someone that no longer makes you happy and find a man that does; your aura changes. He’s been good to me, I’m just scared Briana. I don’t need another Ivan.”

  “What do you mean you don’t want another Ivan?”

  “Remember when Ivan was good to me in the beginning and afterwards he treated me like shit? I don’t need that happening a second time Bri, I can’t take another heartbreak!”

  “Don’t put your heart into it just yet, feel him out first,” she said as she flipped through a vogue magazine.

  “How do you feel about Adonis?” I asked her.

  “I like him, we're going on a date tonight. I can’t wait Persia, you know I’ve never really had a boyfriend before except Robert’s young ass but that doesn’t count because we were in middle school,” she said while laughing.

  “How does he make you feel Briana, seriously.” I wanted to make sure that my best friend was being treated right. Adonis seemed like a cool dude but I wanted to hear from her mouth that she enjoyed his company. I wanted her to be happy.

  “Well, the way he stares at me does something to me. Sometimes I’m in mid-sentence and I look over at him, and he's staring. That night we all met at the club, he came over hours after I dropped you off. You know I would never let a man that I just met spend the night over my house but I gave in and let him. That morning I couldn’t get a hold of you I went to the hospital to see Ms. Barbara, come to find out Turk, Ramses, Adonis and Nino are her grandchildren. She told me yesterday that I was a part of the family and it was nothing I could do about it now,” she explained while shaking her head.

  “Briana, this behavior of yours is foreign, you let the man spend the night? Y’all didn’t have sex did you?” I ask
ed fanning myself, it was hot as hell in this damn nail shop.

  “Of course not Persia, I made his ass sleep downstairs on the couch.”

  “Well at least you’re better than me,” I blurted out.

  “Bitch, please tell me you didn’t? Persia you barely know him,” Briana asked perplexed.

  “Well we went on our date yesterday, we had a picnic under this huge cherry blossom tree as we watched the sunset. He fed me grapes and massaged my feet,” I smiled as I leaned my head back. Vivid flashes of yesterday’s festivities popped in my head.

  “Kiss me,” he demanded. I leaned over the picnic basket and kissed him softly. We stared into each other's eyes as we shared another kiss. He motioned for me to come over to him with his index finger. Ramses laid flat on his back as I got on top of him. My hands caressed his chiseled chest; it was adorned with tattoos. As I sat on top of him, I could feel the imprint of his dick through his pants. Not knowing what to do or to say next, I looked at the sun set in the distance.

  “Isn’t it beautiful,” I asked him as his hands traveled up my dress.

  “Nothing is more beautiful than you are to me ma.” His hands traveled further up my back, as he unfastened my bra with one swift motion.

  “Ramses we can’t, not out here and not right now,” I pleaded. My words fell on death ears as he pulled down the straps to my dress and my breasts were exposed. There was a slight chill to the Chicago air making my nipples grow hard. He fondled and played with them before he leaned up and took my right breast into his mouth. His tongue sent shock waves through my body. As he sucked and licked on my nipples, he never took his eyes off me.

  “That feels soo good baby,” I moaned.

  He was attentive and took his time with each one. By now, my pussy was raining waterfalls; I couldn’t take it anymore. I needed to see what he could do to my pussy with his tongue. As if reading my mind he lifted me off of him and gently laid me down.

  “Once my mouth touches this pussy, you belong to me, this pussy is now mine,” he said coldly. The expression on his face was so serious.

  I shook my head up and down and whispered yes, as I leaned my head back. Ramses snatched my panties off roughly and spread my legs all the way back. He stared at my bare pussy and licked his lips hungrily; he took one hard lick from my opening to my clit. “Oh God baby,” was all I managed to say as he sent me to ecstasy. He sucked and slurped on my lips while sticking his tongue deep in my love box.

  “Damn this pussy tastes good,” he grunted as he tore my pussy up. If there was an award for the best pussy eater, his ass would have won several times. I was so into the head that I had totally forgotten that we were outside. There could have been people watchin' us but at that moment, I didn’t care. I grinded on his face, and fed him more of my pussy.

  “That’s right ma, fuck daddy’s face, feed me my pussy,” he demanded. He smacked my ass hard and that shit sent me over the edge.

  “Oh baby, I’m going to cum, oh God yes, I’m cumming, Ramses baby I’m cumming,” I screamed aloud not giving a fuck who heard me. My baby slurped up all of my juices ‘til there was none left. I was exhausted but I could tell in his eyes that he wanted more.

  “Kiss me so you can see what this pussy tastes like,” he demanded.

  I lifted up on my elbows and kissed him passionately. He grabbed me by my neck and pinned me down then stuck his tongue out and I sucked on it seductively while staring into his soul. He kissed me roughly and smacked me on the ass again. While his hands rested on my neck he whispered in my ear, “This shit is my pussy now, don’t ever give my shit away. Do you understand me?” he asked seriously.

  “Yes daddy,” I said while smiling.

  So did y’all fuck or what? Bri asked snapping me out of my thoughts. The nail technicians were now working on our feet.

  “Once we got home, as soon as he closed the door we were on each other fucking like rabbits. His dick was so bomb Briana that a bitch started crying.”

  Briana started laughing at me but I was dead serious. I thought Ivan was good because he was what I was used to for all these years, but Ramses clearly made me realize that I was missing out. I could never fuck Ivan again after experiencing Ramses. His sex game put Ivan to shame and so did his dick.

  “That’s why your ass must be glowing then,” Bri laughed.

  I was happy she didn’t chastise me about sleeping with Ramses on the first date. Even if she did, it had already happened and there was nothing that I could do about it now. If I could change anything about that day, I wouldn’t.

  When Briana and Persia were finished with their manicures and pedicures, it was now 2:45pm. They sat and talked in the nail shop and realized that it was a little longer than they intended. Hell, the owner didn’t mind because they were spending money and he thought the girls were beautiful and he enjoyed their company. After leaving the nail shop, they stopped by a couple of stores to do a little shopping. Briana found the perfect outfit for her date tonight with Adonis. She decided on a long tight-fitting Bohemian styled maxi dress. It may sound average but when Briana put it on and walked out so that Persia could look everyone in the store turned their attention to her.

  “Girl, if you don’t get that I’m getting it for myself,” one woman yelled in the distance. She decided to get it and the girls stopped by a couple of more stores before they were done.

  “Let’s go put our bags in the car Bri, these shits are heavy," Persia said as they walked out of the Coach store.

  Briana happily agreed. The stuffed their bags in their cars then met up on the sidewalk.

  “What do you have a taste for?” Briana asked as she checked her cell phone, reading a text from Adonis. Briana found herself smiling hard as she read the text.

  ADONIS: Get ready for an adventure baby; be ready at nine.

  Briana: Okay! I’m excited.

  She sent the text and placed her phone back into her purse.

  “Let go to Hooters or something. It’s right there and I want to keep a watch out for my car. People act like they don’t know how to drive, I wish a bitch would hit my shit,” Persia yelled at a woman that parked a little too close behind her.

  Briana smiled at her friend and grabbed her arm pulling her away from the scene. They walked into Hooters and Briana spotted Nino in the cut talking to a group of men and a woman who looked like she was a stripper. Either she was or she just liked to dress trashy. They seemed to be in deep conversation.

  “Isn’t that Nino?” Persia asked.

  “Yes, it is. Hopefully, he doesn’t see us because he makes me uncomfortable. I don’t like him,” Briana stated honestly.

  As Briana and Persia walked to their table, Nino spotted and stared at them as they sat down.

  “You spoke too soon Bri because he saw us and it looks like he on his way over here,” Persia whispered while picking up her menu. Briana cursed under her breathe, she didn’t feel like being bothered especially not by him.

  “Girl lighten up, he ain’t that bad,” Persia smirked.

  "Wassup ladies, y’all are looking beautiful this evening,” Nino said while cutting his eyes at Briana. Ever since he saw her at that club, he wanted her. He had dreamed about her for the past several days. He hoped she liked the roses that he had left on her dresser yesterday. Once he and Jimmy dropped her car off, he walked to her front door and was about to put the keys into the mailbox but he had second thoughts.

  “I just want to see how she lives,” he told himself as he unlocked the door.

  “Man, what the fuck are you doing?” Jimmy yelled from the car.

  “I gotta take a shit bruh, chill the fuck out,” Nino said lying. He was proud of himself for coming up with a lie as fast as he did. He entered her loft slowly; a scent of strawberries smacked him in the face as he looked around the apartment.

  She’s clean, he thought as he studied the pictures on her wall's and tables. He made his way to the kitchen and opened her refrigerator. It wasn’t shit in there that he w
anted. Nino didn’t eat apples and all that healthy shit so he closed the refrigerator door and made his way to the steps. He stood at the bottom of the steps for a moment and inhaled the scent of her home one last time while closing his eyes. In his mind, he was winning. This was as close to Briana as he would ever get. He slowly walked up the stairs awaiting the anticipation of seeing her room door. You here nigga, he thought as a sneaky smile spread across his face. He slowly crept into her room and took it in. He walked over to her bed and immediately got angry, as he looked what appeared to be a man's wife beater on her nightstand. Rage filled his body as the thought of another man sleeping with Briana crept through his mind. As he looked down beside the bed, he saw a pair of delicate panties. His rage quickly turned into curiosity as he bent down and picked the panties up off of the ground. He brought them to his nose and inhaled her scent.

  She smells so fucking good, he thought as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. He unfolded the panties and turned them inside out to the cotton area. He took one long lick and stuffed them in his mouth. His hands traveled down to his pants. He unzipped his zipper and pulled out his short and stubby dick. He slowly stroked it as he took the panties out of his mouth and smelled them again.

  “Nigga where the fuck you at? Get the fuck out of this girl’s house; he heard Jimmy yelled from downstairs. His fun was cut short; he stuffed his dick back in his pants and put the panties in his pocket. There was no way he could leave the panties here; they were now his. He exited her room and greeted Jimmy at the bottom of the steps.

  “Nigga what the fuck you doing in her room when the bathroom by the kitchen? he boomed.

  “Nigga, I had to shit so bad that a nigga didn’t even look over there, I went right up the steps. It’s a larger bathroom in her room.”

  “Do you think she really want yo fat stank ass stinking up her shit? Get fuck outside,” Jimmy yelled as he pushed Nino outside the door. Nino still had her car and house keys in his pocket. After Jimmy dropped him off at his crib, he was going to go to a locksmith and get a duplicate key to her loft. If he couldn’t have her physically, he would mentally; having a key would be the closest thing he got to touching Briana.
