My Bestfriend's Man

by P. Dotson

  I wanted to go on, but as I looked into his eyes, I knew I would be wasting my time. He was like the rest of my siblings, looking for something for nothing. When my father handed the club over to me I got a lot of slack from his other kids, but I didn’t fold when they tried to pressure me into giving them half of what I was owed.

  Yes, I said owed. I worked day in and day out for my father. I was transporting packages and making deals for my father. He didn’t care that I could end up in jail. I remember the late night and early morning runs. I hustled hard and paid my dues to the game now it was time to reap the benefits.

  I wanted to give Prince the benefit of the doubt. But I could see his priorities were all fucked up. He was all about himself and it made me question his loyalty. A man of my status I have niggas gunning for me every day. I don’t need someone of my own bloodline being one of them.

  I’ve always tried to look out for Prince because he’s my baby brother, but there comes a time in life when you just have to let go. As I looked into his eyes, I had a feeling now was that time. I knew he would look at it as me taking Ace’s side instead of his. I made him look soft and he would never forgive me for that.

  “Brian,” Ace said, again rocking me out of my thoughts.

  “If Roxie needs you just go,” I told Prince releasing him from my grip.

  “Thanks B,” he mumbled, straightening his collar.

  I think it scared him to see me react like that. I haven’t had to put my hands on him in a while. He walked out of the office without saying anything else. Ace cracked his knuckles but remained silent. I knew it was on the tip of his tongue, but I wasn’t in the mood to admit he was right.

  “Not now Ace,” I said.

  “Might as well add that nigga to the list.”

  “What list?” I asked walking around to my desk.

  “You made that nigga ya enemy. How much you want to bet he gone go back and tell her everything that went down? I know her type she is persuasive and I guarantee it won’t take long before he comes for ya ass.”

  A strange feeling entered the pit of my stomach. Something told me Ace was right, but I loved my little brother to no end. I didn’t want to believe he would throw away all I’ve done for him over a bitch, but as I sat and stared at my computer screen, I wasn’t so sure.

  Chapter 18

  Prince

  I can’t believe Brian played me in front of that nigga Ace. He made me look like some weak muthafucka that couldn’t hold his own. I wanted to break his jaw, but I ain’t stupid. It’s two of them against me. I ain’t no punk, but I ain’t stupid either.

  A car horn beeped at me as I cut a hard left and cut in front of their ass, but I didn’t care. I was mad. I needed to release the rage building up inside of me. I can’t stand that nigga Ace and I knew the feeling was mutual. He always talking shit and Brian never does anything about it. He always sided with that nigga. I pulled into Roxie’s driveway and killed the engine.

  I sat in my car for a few minutes allowing my thoughts to roam free. I didn’t want to believe it, but a part of me had to question Roxie’s motive. He was right about me bagging bitches. Don’t get it twisted, I can pull a bitch, but I’ve never pulled one of Roxie’s caliber.

  My manhood began to rise as I thought about her. She was bad and I wanted her in the worst way. When I first tried to holler at her, she wouldn’t even take the time out to respond to my text. All my phone calls went unanswered. Then out of the blue she started calling a nigga. It made me wonder where her head was at. Bitches now days ain’t loyal.

  I pushed my negative thoughts to the back of my head and exited my vehicle. Before I could knock, her front door swung open. I was stuck in time as I outlined her curves with my eyes. She had on a red lace bra and panty set with Red Bottom Heels decorating her feet. All I could do was shake my head. My dick stood to attention as I stared at her fat pussy lips. She didn’t look anything like she sounded earlier on the phone.

  “Come in papi,” she said seductively licking her lips as she grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.

  She pulled me close to her and wrapped her arms around my neck engaging me in a kiss. I could taste the alcohol that lingered on her tongue but it didn’t faze me. I couldn’t resist as I grabbed a handful of her ass. A few moans simultaneously escaped my lips as I allowed my hands to appreciate her assets. The door slammed as we back peddled towards our destination, never once breaking from our sloppy kiss.

  It came as no surprise when we ended up in her bedroom. She broke free of my lips and pushed me down on the bed. I watched in awe as she seductively stripped out of her bra and panties. I stroked my manhood even though he didn’t need my help to stay alert. She dropped down on all fours and unbuttoned my pants. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she appreciated my main man.

  She didn’t waste any time getting down to business. I watched as my nine-inch rod disappeared inside of her mouth. I had to squeeze my butt cheeks together because she was giving me the business. I grabbed the back of her head for support because she sure as hell didn’t need my help, she knew what the fuck she was doing.

  Her mouth was wet, you could hear that shit every time she went up and down on my dick. She was a pro, never once gagging as my dick touched the back of her throat.

  “Got damn baby,” I moaned as I slightly lifted my ass off the bed to go deeper into her mouth. It didn’t surprise me that she took that shit.

  It was my turn. I gently pushed her back before grabbing her and pulling her on top of me. I placed my hand in between her thighs. She moaned and arched her back as two of my fingers got lost in her waterfall. Her pussy was so wet the shit was literally running down my damn fingers. My dick got harder as I played in her river. I was ready to taste that shit.

  I grabbed her and rolled on top of her. I couldn’t resist as I placed one of her nipples in my mouth. She moaned in appreciation as she grabbed the back of my head. At that moment, her nipple was like my favorite piece of candy. I licked and sucked it until I had her begging for me to go further.

  I made a trail of kisses down the middle of her stomach. I could tell she was into that shit because of her loud sensual moans. She could barely keep her eyes open. I hope she’s ready for what I’m about to give her ass.

  I spread her pussy lips apart and came face to face with her third eye. I licked my lips before devouring it.

  “Prince,” she moaned my name as she clamped her knees around my head.

  I didn’t mind because I had no plans of going anywhere soon. I made love to her pussy with my tongue. I spread her lips apart to give me better access as I punished her for wanting it so bad.

  “Please, don’t stop,” she moaned making sure I stayed in place.

  I reached up and gently massaged her nipples while making sure her clit still had my undivided attention. The combination must have sent her in overdrive because not too long after her volcano erupted.

  “Stoppppppppp,” she squealed in delight as she tried to push me away. I laughed because it was the exact opposite of what she told me to do a few minutes ago.

  “Take that shit,” I said pushing her hands down to the side.

  “Prince,” she whimpered as I continued to tease her swollen clit.

  Once I was satisfied, I balanced myself on my hands. This girl had me gone. She was fucking beautiful. She was the baddest bitch I ever bagged. I licked my lips satisfied from the look she had on her face. My heart began to flutter as I continued to stare down at her.

  I don’t know what the fuck I’m feeling at this moment. I hope this ain’t what love feels like because if it is, then everything Ace and Brian think about me is true. I shook my head and put them niggas in the back of my head. I’m here with a bad bitch, and I’m ready to dig in this pussy. I’ll worry about them later.

  I grabbed the base of my dick and allowed it to glide up and down the opening of her lips. Her shit was so fucking wet. She wanted it, I could see it in her eyes.

  “Please
, papi,” she begged.

  Without a second thought, I found her opening and eased inch by inch of my manhood into her pussy. That shit was tight and gripped my dick like a glove. I placed my face in her neck to keep from crying out like a bitch. That shit was so wet and tight. It was driving me insane. I’m trying to hold out to keep from embarrassing myself.

  She was into it. I could tell by the way she dug her nails into my back, but she had that snapper. I tried to think of something else to keep me from cumming, but her pussy refused to be ignored. It snapped me back to the present. I stopped in mid-stroke, praying that would stop me from making a fool of myself, but it didn’t work.

  “Shit,” I moaned as I pulled back and splashed my babies all over her washboard abs. I was at a loss for words as I looked down at her.

  She said it was okay, but I could see the disappointment in her eyes. I lay down beside her, placing my hand behind my head. She got up and walked into her bathroom and returned with a washcloth. She cleaned me off without saying a word, then lay in the bed beside me. She draped her arm over my stomach and went to sleep. I listened to her soft snoring.

  “I guess it wasn’t that bad.”

  * * *

  I woke up to breakfast in bed. This is something a nigga could definitely get use too. She sat down beside me in nothing, but her birthday suit wearing that beautiful smile of hers. Ace and Brian popped in my head and I couldn’t help, but to think maybe they were wrong about Roxie. She seemed to have her head on straight.

  “What’s wrong baby?” She asked.

  “Nothing, why?”

  “You just seem like you got something on your mind. You know you can tell me anything right?” She said to me.

  “I’m good,” I said pushing a piece of bacon in my mouth. “What was up with you though? You called me crying and shit. What’s going on with you?”

  She sighed and looked away. “I really don’t want to talk about it.”

  I placed my hand under her chin and turned so she was facing me. “You know you can talk to me about anything right?” I asked, reversing that shit back on her. She smiled.

  “Okay. It’s Savannah.”

  “Brian’s girl?” I asked.

  “And my best friend. Well, at least, she used to be my best friend until he came along. Now she doesn’t have time for me and she basically threw me to the wolves. She just acts differently now that she is with him.”

  “Why do you think that is?”

  “I don’t know,” she said shrugging her shoulders. “Is he the controlling type?”

  This time I looked away. For some reason, the air around me felt a little uncomfortable. Brian had another side to him that no one knew about. He had a lot of secrets and dirty laundry, but I didn’t want to be the one to air it out. Roxie is cool, but I barely knew her. I wasn’t about to put my brother on blast like that.

  “Prince,” Roxie said softly touching my arm. “Please, tell me.”

  I turned and looked into her eyes. Maybe I was a sucker, but she looked so lost and innocent. Like she really needed my help. That feeling took a hold of my heart again and my stomach started doing flip-flops. What was it about this girl that had me feeling like this? I have to get it together and quick. Despite the way, Brian has treated me lately my loyalty still to him.

  “No, he’s not like that at all,” I said swallowing hard to remove the lump in my throat.

  “Well, whatever happened to his ex-girlfriend Macy?”

  I had a feeling that was coming next. I shook my head as I thought about Macy. She was a good girl who happened to fall in love with a bad guy. I love my brother, it’s just when he love that nigga loves hard. Too hard in my opinion.

  Roxie was waiting on a response and I wasn’t sure what I should tell her. I couldn’t throw my brother under the bus like that. So I decided to play dumb.

  “Who?” I asked. I tried to sell that shit, but I could tell by the look on her face that she wasn’t buying it.

  “Never mind,” she said shaking her head. I could tell she was disappointed and I felt bad.

  “Don’t be like that,” I said attempting to grab a hold of her arm.

  “No, it’s cool,” she said standing up. “I’m going to take a shower. You know where the door is,” she said walking into her bathroom giving me her ass to kiss.

  I sat there dragging my hands down the side of my face. My insides felt weak as I watched her walk away. I know she’s only worried about her friend, but I can’t turn my back on my brother like that. Blood is thicker than water. At least I hope it is.

  Chapter 19

  Savannah

  Today is the day. Brian is finally going to meet my parents. I’m so nervous. I have a feeling it’s not going to go as smooth as I would like it too. My parents love Brandon and I don’t think they will ever feel the same about anyone else I decide to bring home.

  “Your total comes to one hundred dollars and seventy-five cents,” the cashier said to me pulling me out of my thoughts.

  I really didn’t need to buy anything for this occasion, but I needed to get away from my inner thoughts. Roxie and I haven’t spoken in what seems like forever and to be honest I really don’t miss her. I love Roxie dearly, but if she doesn’t change her controlling ways, our friendship would be terminated permanently.

  “Okay,” I said fishing around in my purse, pulling out my wallet attempting to hand her my credit card.

  “You can just slide it,” she said pointing to the monitor.

  “Oh, okay,” I laughed. I was having a blonde moment, it wasn’t like I haven’t done this before.

  “You have a nice day,” she said to me handing me my bag.

  “You do the same,” I said as I placed my card back in my wallet and in my purse. I grabbed my bag and proceeded to walk towards the exit.

  This town is just too damn small. Guess who I ran into once again? It made me wonder if he was stalking me. We need to talk there is no doubt about that, but today is not the day. I held my breath waiting for the begging to begin. To my surprise it didn’t.

  “What’s up Savannah,” Brandon smiled at me and kept it moving.

  I snapped my neck back, looked over my shoulder and watched him as he walked up to the same girl who was with him at the club and at Starbucks. She smirked at me as she hooked her arm in his and proceeded inside of the store. I didn’t even notice her basic ass standing by the entrance.

  So many emotions penetrated my heart I couldn’t think straight. Tears clouded my eyes as I briskly walked to my truck. My heart was crushed. Don’t you hate when the heart ignores what you tell it to do?

  I looked back towards the store, but they had disappeared inside. It’s official. He is moving on with his life and I couldn’t handle it. I wasn’t ready to face that reality. It’s funny how I’ve been in a relationship for the past six months, but I couldn’t handle the fact that he could possibly be in one.

  * * *

  “You okay baby?” Brian asked me as we walked towards my parent’s house. He was holding my hand like he was scared to let me go or something.

  “Yeah, I’m good,” I replied, although I wasn’t.

  I couldn’t get Brandon and his new bitch out of my head. I wanted to wipe that smirk off her face so damn bad. I know it’s sad that I’m acting like this. I’m being petty and I know it, but in my defense I can’t help it.

  “Are you sure?” He asked me again.

  “Yeah,” I said not hiding the fact I was annoyed. He squeezed the hell out of my hand. “Brian, ouch. What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked trying to remove my hand from his, but he still had a firm grip on it. I looked up at him and he held this look in his eyes and it almost scared me. “Brian, you’re hurting me,” I said pushing him lightly.

  “I’m sorry baby,” he said shaking his head. He tried to grab my hand again, but I pulled away. “Look, let’s not start this on a bad note. We are in a good place right now. Let’s not mess it up with the bullshit.”

&n
bsp; I rolled my eyes and stomped up the steps. I was beginning to think this was a bad idea. The door had swung open before I had a chance to knock. As soon as my eyes landed on my daddy my mood instantly changed. I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed tightly. He picked me up.

  “Hey baby girl.” He put me down and looked over my shoulder.

  “Hi, daddy,” I smiled. I forgot all about Brian until he cleared his throat making me aware of his presence.

  “Oh, Daddy. This is Brian.”

  “Her boyfriend,” Brian added extending his hand. “Nice to meet you sir.”

  “Same here,” my father answered giving Brian a brief handshake. “Come on, let’s go inside.”

  We followed my father into the living room. The smell of fried chicken lingered in the air causing my stomach to growl. My mama knows she can throw down. I don’t know what happened to me because I sure can’t cook.

  “Hi mom,” I said walking into the living room where she was sitting down watching television.

  “Hey Savannah,” she said looking over my shoulder at Brian. I could tell just by the look in her eyes she didn’t like him already.

  “Mom, this is Brian,” I said walking up to her and giving her a hug.

  “Her boyfriend,” Brian added again. This time he skipped the handshake. He bent down and gave my mother a hug.

  “Oh,” my mother blurted out, caught off guard.

  “It’s nice to finally meet you,” Brian grinned.

  He stood there with this weird grin plastered on his face. As I looked at him, I couldn’t help but get this funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. Him being here just didn’t seem right.

  “Same here,” my mother said, clearing her throat. “Well, the food is done so we might as well get ready to eat. Come on,” she said leading the way.

  For some reason, the dinner table was awkward. The chemistry felt off balance. I think we all felt it except for Brian. He was all smiles, doing his best to make a good impression on my parents. I could tell by the glum looks on their faces they weren’t buying it.
