  “Everything all right back there?”

  “Yeah I’m straight.” I glanced at my phone again then dialed Josh’s number. He answered on the third ring.

  “Yes my little slut in heels?” I smiled.

  ‘Hey are you home cause I’m on my way over now.”

  “Yes.”

  “Okay see ya soon.” I hung up and sighed heavily. I remained in deep thought for the rest of the trip and didn’t pay Mr. Leery Eyes no attention although I could feel his eyes on me.

  “We’re here. That will thirty-two sixty-three.” I threw the money through the mirror and hopped out the taxi. I ran up the steps to Josh’s brownstone and rang his bell. It buzz and I snatched the door open.

  “Doors open.” He called from over the railing. I walked up the stairs to his door and went inside his place, closing the door after me.

  ‘Hey.”

  “Hey. Wow club clothes ..hoochie clothes so what’s so important that you pull yourself away from your hoe activities?” he said with a smile. My heart ache. Here I was about to break him. I rushed forward and hug him.

  “ Nothin’. What? I can’t come see my best friend.” I lied.

  “Uh-huh. Make yo’self comfy then. You must of did something’ and now hiding’.”

  ‘That was one time boy.” I said, going into his room to find some sweats and a shirt. I pulled off my dress and pulled his old college gear on. When I came out, he was on his couch. “Where’s Toni?”

  “At home. She said she wasn’t feeling good. Nausea so she went to bed early.” Sure she was sick. Bitch at this moment suckin’ and probably fuckin ol’ dude now.

  “Oh.” I sat next to him.

  “What are you doing here anyway? Wasn’t Lucci having a party somewhere? Ain’t he yo knight in shining armor?”

  “Hey be grateful. I passed up good dick to hang with you cause I missed you.”

  “Sure slut.” He shoulder bumped me and I fell over laughing. Then I noticed the tuxedo bag in the corner then I somber up quickly. I looked at my friend, and he was happy. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him. Even though Toni trifling as hell, I couldn’t be the one to break my best friend heart.

  “Well since I’m here and tired of being a hoe, feed me and let’s watch your shitty movies that you love so much.” I offered.

  “The diva opens her mouth and us lil folk suffer the most.” He remarked, getting up. I smiled after his retreating figure and laid out on the couch. When he came back, he brought a couple of subs from around the corner and two beers. The more time passed and the more he was having a great time talking about his wedding and honeymoon I had definitely made up my mind to shut the hell up. When I found our old yearbook that’s when things really got live. “Oh I remember her. She was ugly as fuck. I swear she was always in my face.”

  “She wanted you too,’’ I laughed “She tried so hard to get with you”

  “Fuck that!” My phone kept beeping. I knew it was Lucci, tryna find me. I ignored it and kept laughing. It beeped again. “You gon get that?”

  “No.”

  “Well I will.” He reached over and grabbed my phone.

  “No don’t. He ain’t important right now.” I protested jokily.

  “What girl please he got money and he yo favorite.” He opened my message. “Girl where yo fine ass at? I know I saw you earlier. Hit me up tonight so I can give you this dick.” He read.

  “Stop!” I laughed.

  “Oh there’s a picture.”

  ‘Oh hell no gimme my phone boy” He wrestled with me for the phone.

  “Oh picture…ew dick pic!”

  “Then don’t go through my phone or you see hella worse dick pics.” He jumped up with my phone.

  “You so nasty! Dick pic. Dick pic. Ass pic. Tity. Dick. Toni taking a shot—“I jumped up quickly and snatched my phone back.

  “OKAY!” Josh’s smile went away and he got serious.

  “Emilia why is Toni is your phone?”

  “What you talkin’ ‘bout that wasn’t Toni.”

  “I’m not stupid. I know what she looks like. Don’t lie to me you’re supposed to be my friend.”

  “Okay.” I sighed.

  “Are you two messing with each other? Are you gay?!” he asked.

  ‘WHAT?! God no! Hell no!”

  “Then why is she in yo phone?!”

  “I was gon tell you well I hope she did before I had to.”

  “Tell me what? What’s going on?”

  “Josh please hear me out. I don’t know what was going on for sure-“

  “Just tell me.”

  “Okay ..alright.” I handed him my phone. He flipped through my pictures. His face growing angry with each picture.

  “WHAT IS THIS?! THE FUCK IS THIS?! THAT’S MY FIANCEE SUCKIN SUM NIGGA’S DICK” I stood there quiet and never felt so small. “Where was this?”

  “Tonight at Lucci’s party. I was coming to tell you after I saw it but I didn’t want to hurt you. I love you too much to hurt your feelings but I was gonna tell you somehow.” I said. He threw my phone and it collided with the lamp. I jumped. “I’m sorry Josh.”

  “Where she is now? We were supposed to be getting married.” He went searching for his keys. I followed after him.

  “Josh think ‘bout this. Do you really want to call this wedding off? Think about it.”

  “No fuck that. She out there suckin sum other nigga dick when she supposed to be at home and she fuckin drinkin’ while pregnant!”

  “I don’t think she’s pregnant at all” I whispered. He stopped.

  “Please don’t. No please god no. She didn’t lie to me. NOOO!” He collapsed and I caught him on the down and hugged him tightly.

  “I’m so sorry. Truly. If it makes you feel better I punch her in the back of the head.”

  “She lied to me. Why?” he cried softly.

  “I don’t know baby. I don’t know.” I held him tightly and let him cry into the night.

  The knocking on the door bought me to. It was a consistent pounding. I woke up and wondered where the hell I was. Then I heard Josh’s voice.

  “Hold on.” I could hear the chain clang and the door open.

  “Why won’t you accept my calls?”

  “Toni ..you got some nerve.”

  “What’s wrong with you? Can I come in?”

  “No what you need to is give me back my ring and get the hell on.”

  “Josh what are talking about?” I got out the bed, still fully dressed and walked out into the commotion. They both turned towards me. “What’s she doing here? And coming from your room? Are you two sleeping together?”

  “No. I’m here as sup—“

  “No don’t explain yourself to this hoe Emilia.”

  “HOE?! What the hell is your problem Josh?”

  “Then what’s this?” Josh picked up my discarded phone and showed her the pictures. “Explain this shit?” Shock across her face and went into denial mode.

  “That’s not me! Who photo shopped this shit? I’m the mother of your child how can you accuse me.”

  “Don’t bullshit me. How do I even now you are pregnant? I haven’t seen any proof.”

  ‘What Josh?”

  “Don’t play me Toni I’m not stupid. You out bein’ a hoe and suckin’ dicks.”

  “Are you serious?! Speaking of hoes.” She bypassed Josh and came towards me. “Did you put him up to this and filled him with these lies? Huh? Did you? You hoe!”

  “Toni leave her alone but did nothing but be a true friend and told me about yo nasty ass.”

  “No this street-walking bitch just want you for herself that’s why she tryna break us up.” She raged.

  “You wasn’t thinkin ‘bout Josh or yo relationship when you was deep-throatin and I punch yo funky ass in the back of the head.” I snapped back.

  “That was YOU!” she screamed, I turned to Josh.

  “Bitch just admitted it.”

  “Get the FUCK out. We over and the wedd
ing is off.”

  “No Josh please wait.”

  “You heard him” I said, getting cocky by the second. Her stank ass was gone. I may be a hoe but not an undercover hoe that lie about it. I pushed her ass towards the door and she tried to swing at me. She missed and wind up grabbing a handful of my hair.

  “Bitch! I’ll rip this fake shit out!” she yelled.

  “Bitch this ain’t fake. Let my shit go!” I punch her in the face and she went falling back. Josh grabbed her and pulled her away from me.

  “Just go Toni!” She huffed and left the apartment. He was silent. Several moments had passed.

  “Emilia?” He finally said, after closing the door.

  “Yeah?”

  “Thank you.”

  “Don’t thank me Josh. I feel like shit that this happen like this.” He grabbed me hand and pulled me close.

  “Don’t be. You are my friend so thank you.” He kissed the back of my hand and I smiled. “I love you.”

  “I love you too silly” He leaned forward to kiss me and I let him. This wasn’t the first time we first kiss or got intimate but we never went all the way. Last year when his grandfather die, he was destroyed. I went with him to the funeral and took care of him, making sure he got home. When we got there, I got into bed with him, letting him kiss and fondle my breasts. The tears in his eyes made him look like a lost little boy. We never mention it again but we knew it happened between us. Like now. He’s hurt and need the comfort.

  “You’re beautiful.” He said, caressing my breasts through my shirt. This experience felt weird. Any other time when I’m gettin’ down or makin’ money I’m used to straight sex, hardcore bumpin’ and yet with Josh, he was the only one I could softly make love to if we ever cross that line.

  “Josh. Don’t do something you will regret just cause you’re hurting right now.”

  “I know what I’m doing.” My phone went off in the living room. It was either Lucci or another regular.

  “Josh I have to go.” He kissed my along my neck.

  “No you’re mine right now.” He pulled his college shirt over my head. I wrapped my arms around him and held him tight.

  “Josh fo’ real. We can’t. You know how I get down.”

  “Emilia just shut the hell up and let me.” He looked me in the face. “I always wanted to so here’s my chance.” He kissed me to silence me and pull off the sweats I had on. The warmness of his sheets was welcoming against my bare ass. He pushed forward, grinding his body against mine, his dick swelling on contact and fulfilling my wonder on how big he was. We pulled away from kissing, giving us just enough time to yank the remaining clothes off each other. Then he scooped me up and held me hostage against the wall. Holding my arms down with one strong hand the other traveled down my body to my waiting pussy. The tips of his fingers brushed my clit, then pushed their way inside. He kissed me again, letting his fingers work over my body for now. I couldn’t move or squirm but to fall victim to the feeling that was creeping up over my body. I could feel the heat in my body as well as my face. I was ashamed. He had control of everything and me. “Are we blushing?”

  “No. Shut up..” He flicked my G-spot and I moaned. He laughed deviously.

  “You’re mine now.” He whispered, moving me to the bed and climbing on top.

  “Josh wait.” I pleaded one last time. In the living room, my phone was getting a call. I could tell by the ringer it was Roe. Before I could utter another word, Josh slammed into my body with such force, I almost came on impact.

  “Fuck them other niggas you be with Em, be with me.” He said, stroking faster.

  “ I- I “ I wrapped my legs around his body and thrust back to match him. The smacking sounds of our bodies echo of the wall. He pulled out and turned me over. He slid his dick along my wet slit, teasing my clit. “Please..” He plunged back in and I screamed aloud.

  “Emilia” he whispered, moving my hair away from my neck and gave me butterfly kisses. He moved deeper into Ms. Kitty and she loved every minute of it. More ringing filled the apartment this time it was Josh’s phone but we paid no attention. We were so entwined with each other bodies. Josh grabbed my hands and fucked Ms. Kitty faster. I started to lose more control of my body and the situation. Ms. Kitty betrayed me and started coming all on her own. I hid my face in pleasure and embarrassment. No nigga beside Josh could ever make me come first. It was one of my rules: Niggas always cum first proof they got laid so I get paid.

  “OHHH!”

  “Yeah. You was gon give it up wit’ ya fightin’ ass.” He gloated. He was messing with my head and my game. “Give it up!”

  “No!”

  “Yes” He grunted and spread my legs, pounding into me harder. “Give it up” Damn this nigga was workin’ my shit good. I was already coming but I refuse to get it to him. I was about to give in when his answer machine finally picked up.

  “Josh its Toni. Look I gave you a few to cool down. Hopefully that lying bitch is gone by now. We need to talk about things. There’s no need to call of the wedding. Call me back so we can talk I love you okay.”

  “Josh”

  ‘Shh fuck her…aww shit!” His body stiffened and his dick twitched. He started coming. “Damn Emilia.” He thrust harder into me and I buck back. Then I realized we didn’t use a condom. I pulled away.

  “Boy pull out! It ain’t wrapped.” Reality smacked him in this face and he jumped back quick.

  “Damn. Fuck. Glad you said something.” We looked at each other and laughed. “See and this is why niggas get caught up with you. You make them forget shit.”

  “Nigga don’t blame me. You the one who got into it cause you wanted me so bad. My shit is golden.”

  ‘Whatever so is that why you came first.” I got out the bed and rolled my eyes. I started hunting for my clothes. “What are you doing?”

  “Looking for my stuff. I gotta go you heard my phone blowing up and you have to deal with Toni.”

  “Rushing back to yo other niggas make me feel like a hoe.” He pouted.

  “Shut up and no that was my girl Tanya. I was supposed to meet up with her to check out this new spot but thanks to someone I’m running late.” I lied.

  “Uh-huh.”

  “But I’m out. I need to go home shower and change. Oh I’m borrowing these again.” I picked his clothes off the floor and threw them on. What I really needed to do was damage control on Lucci seeing how I ran out on him last night. He wanted to ask me something and promise to tell me after his show. “I’ll see you later okay.” I gave him a kiss on the cheek, went grab my phone and was out the door. As I walked down the stairs, I thought about what just happened. We crossed the line. I just hope we could remain friends. I didn’t need him catching feelings and messing my shit up. He already exposed a weak side I didn’t know I had. I walked out the main door and looked back. I was going to have to stay away from him for a while and when I did come back around, it couldn’t be sexual but just strictly friends.

  I walked into the studio where Lucci was recording. His boys were lying around on the couches while Lucci was in his booth. Weed smoke was in the air heavy.

  “Hey Duchess. Where you bin at?”

  “Around. He almost done?” I asked.

  “He should be. Go on in.” I walked around and went in the booth, closing the door after me.

  “Hey.”

  “Where you last night?”

  “I had to leave.”

  “So you couldn’t answer my calls or text?”

  “Boy please Earth don’t revolve around you. I cut out to my friend, Tanya.” Who the hell was this fake Tanya I kept throwing out to people? “I was up in V.I.P and saw her nigga all on some bitch. I hadda roll out on that bitch he was with then let my girl know. She was gona get married to that bum nigga hadda stop that shit.” He laughed and his chains shook.

  “Yo ass always rollin’ out on somebody but shorty yo ass raw and loyal as fuck and I like that. I like my woman to be loyal. To me. To my game
.” I nodded. Only if he knew what went down when he was out of town.

  “Yeah. You know it.” This nigga would never know that I was all over town. I have a strict rule. My name doesn’t pass your lips to nobody. If they do, I don’t fuck with you no more and the business is over. Yo shit be fuck up and out in the open for everybody if you fire off on me. My shit too fresh and no nigga dare to break that rule. Only way niggas find out about me is through luck or if they meet me heads up. “But what did you want to tell me?”

  “Aw yeah. I want you to come to L.A with me after I come back in two months. I got a couple shows to do out there and I want my lady by my side.”

  “Okay.” Hell yeah I’ll go. Do some shopping show my ass. Maybe make a few new business aspects.

  ‘Alright. Let me finish up here and I’ll hit you up later.” I kissed him.

  “Okay. Peace,.” I walked out his booth and waved bye to his friends. I left the studio and wonder what to do with myself for the rest of the day. Roe had called me but the last few times I hung out with him, shit wasn’t happening. I caught the subway back to my stomping grounds to go see Momma. I used my key to let myself in. “Momma?”

  “In here girl.” I walked into her room and she was at her vanity table, messing with her hair.

  “Damn Momma where you ‘bout to go?”

  “Out?”

  “With who?” I asked, being nosey.

  “None of you business girl. Damn you remind me of yo daddy.” I plopped down on her bed.

  “Well can’t be somethin’ I don’t know. I don’t know shit ‘bout the nigga. You don’t talk ‘bout him much. What happen?”

  “Not much to say Millie. We met I was a fast ass and got pregnant.”

  “Then he leaves you and me typical stuff?”

  “No. He loves you and took care of you. It’s just things don’t work out.”

  “Sure Momma.” I grabbed a throw pillow and stuff it under my body. “Where he at now?”

  “You sure is askin’ a lot of questions.” I made a face.

  “Have fun wherever you goin’”

  “Melanie and me headin’ over to church then goin’ to the kitchen to help out.” I rolled my eyes and sat up. As much as I love Josh, I couldn’t stand his momma at times. Thinking about him, a smile went across my face. The shit he did to me this morning was wild but dangerous. “What yo butt over there smilin’ ‘bout?”
