“Man , let’s just work on me getting her number first then we can talk about all that other shit. Y’all going to Grams’ house tonight right? Well, bring her,” he pleaded. He must’ve really wanted to talk to her because he was literally begging.
“I’ll check with Grams to see if it’s ok with her. You know how she hated when you brought different women to her house. Plus we don’t even know this girl like that. We got you, Turk, don’t worry,” Persia said.
“Aight y’all, good looking. Don’t mess this up. I’m gon’ see y’all later,” he hugged us and kissed our cheek as he stared at Miracle across the room. I quickly texted Grams and asked her if it would be ok to have an extra guest join us at dinner tonight. As crazy as it may seem, I actually didn’t get any bad vibes from Miracle, she seemed like a cool person and I could actually see myself hanging out with her on more than one occasion.
BRIANA: Grams is it ok if Persia and I bring a guest with us tonight. I think Miracle is a perfect match for Turk. You should have seen the way he looked at her. He basically begged us to hook them up!!!!!!
BARBRA: If you feel comfortable enough around her then she can come, I trust your judgment. If Turk is looking to settle down and talk to this girl then honey bring her ass to me now. I have to meet her. Dinner is almost ready so come on now ya hear.

RAMSES
Adonis and I sat in the kitchen with Grams as she prepared the spaghetti we were all going to enjoy later on. Since Bri was now home, we were all spending time together. Grams wanted us to make up for the three weeks she was gone. She claimed she was lonely and everybody had forgotten about her when everything went down. That’s just how Grams was though, she always loved the extra attention since my grandad Mula could never give it to her anymore.
I felt sorry for her most of the time, we lavished her with a huge mansion that she shared with no one. Once Persia and I had our baby, I was thinking about moving her out of here and into our house so that she could help Persia and also have something to do. She was always happy when she was over Adonis & my house, so I was thinking I could make it official and sale this property to someone else. Grams grabbed two spoons and dipped them in her famous spaghetti sauce that the family loved.
“Here, try this babies,” she said as she handed us the spoons. I swear to God this shit tasted like heaven. If she moved in with us, that meant she would cook all the time. That also meant she could teach P how to cook because she was lacking in that department.
“Damn, Grams, this shit taste good as hell, teach Briana this recipe,” Adonis said as he put his dirty spoon in the sink.
“Speaking of Briana, how are things going with you two,” she asked.
“It’s only been a day since she been back, everything good for right now, and that’s how it need it to stay. She affected the way I ran my business when she was gone. Knowing that she has that type of effect on me and the way I move, don’t sit well with me.” Adonis said as he shook his head.
“Boy hush, you’re in love. You’ve never been in love so it may seem scary at first, but it’s beautiful. I watch you two with your women all the time, when you look at them, I see that same spark that your granddad and I used to share. I know you love them girls with every bone in your body; they affect you because you love them. They’re apart of you. You just need to master separating business & your home life,” she said as she went into the dining room.
Adonis and I sat there in silence deep in our own thoughts. Then he suddenly blurted out, “I’m going to ask Briana to marry me, she gon’ be my wife. Briana consumes my thoughts too much bruh, if she not with me, I’m always wondering where the fuck she at and who she with, is she safe? Fucking with a mothafucka like me can bring problems. I don’t ever want her getting hurt over shit I do in the streets. I’m sure ain’t nobody crazy enough to fucking cross me, but you see what Nino pussy ass did so you never know. She in my head bruh, she in my fucking head yo,” Adonis said as he pointed to his forehead with his index finger. Turk suddenly barged in with some beers as he looked around the kitchen.
“Aye, where Briana and Persia at,” he asked.
“They on the way, wassup,” I asked him, eager to hear what he had to say.
“Man, I was in Victoria Secret and this bad yellow broad was with them. I’m talking bad as a mothafucka yo, I know new pussy when I see it and I knew that bitch wasn’t from Chicago y’all. She from fucking Atlanta. To make a long story short, the broad straight embarrassed me in the V bruh, straight tortured my ass with her words fam.”
“Nigga what she say to your mean ass?” Adonis joked.
“Nigga, she told me that she don’t fuck with players and that she’ll see me around,” he said as if that was the worst thing that ever happened to him. This nigga was a fool.
“Turk, what the fuck is wrong with her telling you that?” Adonis asked.
“A bitch ain’t never shot me down before, I was on cloud 100 when I walked up to her ass. I quickly got shot down to cloud zero nigga, fuckin cloud zero fam. I felt that shit in my mothafucka chest fam.”
“So what you gon’ do lil nigga?” I said as I laughed at him. Turk must have really been hurt for him to talk about a bitch this long. She must’ve really caught his eye.
“Bri said she bringing her here to the dinner tonight, so I’m gon’ pursue her until she can’t take it anymore, I ain’t giving up until she get a restraining order on my ass.”
“Bitch nigga you straight dogged me and Adonis out for a whole month because of how we acted with Briana and Persia, now look at you.”
“Man fuck y’all,” Turk said as he grabbed a plate from the cabinet. We heard laughter coming from the front, so that meant the girls had to be here. I needed Persia’s pussy in my mouth so as soon as I saw her, I was going to snatch her up and take her ass upstairs. Grams soon entered the kitchen with Briana, Persia and I’m guessing Miracle on her tail. I looked over at Turk and couldn’t help myself from laughing because this nigga instantly nutted up. Miracle was definitely his match.
“Turk, if your ass don’t put that damn plate down, the food is almost done. Go sit your ass down,” Grams said as she eyed Turk. She always hated when people tried to eat before the table was set.
“Damn, Granny, why you got to be so harsh, I thought I was your favorite,” he joked.
“Boy shut up and help me take these breadsticks in the dining room.”
TURK
I saw Miracle start giggling and that made my heart warm. Man, I didn’t know how to act when Adonis and Ramses pursued Briana and Persia. I was calling them all types of bitches and pussies, yet I was starting to realize that I was about to be the same. I haven’t even known this bitch, yet I wanted to get to know her. That was rare for a player like me. I usually just fucked you and used you until I got bored. I never really had a conversation with the broad I was fucking because it was no point.
If my main agenda was just to fuck then I didn’t waste time getting to know you. It was just that simple. As I helped Grams in the dining room, I saw her peeking at us from the doorway. Yeah, she likes my ass too, I thought as I winked at her. I was going to let it be known in the streets that she was already claimed and for no nigga to fuck with her.
“You must like her, I see how you two are staring at each other. Damn I must be getting old, all my babies are settling down,” Grams said as she shook her head.
“Grams, you been old for hella long,” I joked. She smacked my arm with the oven mitt and walked into the kitchen. As soon as she left, Miracle decided to join me. It was an awkward silence. We both looked around the room not trying to look at the other. She decided to speak finally breaking the silence.
“This a beautiful home you share with your grandmother,” she said laughing. I looked at her ass sideways. Who the fuck told her that I lived with my fucking granny?
“I don’t live with my grandma, I don’t know who told you that shit, but they ass is lying and deserves a sla
p to the face because I ain’t never been a granny’s boy, real shit,” I was kind of mad for some reason.
“I’m joking, geez lighten up. It seems as though you always crack jokes, so I wanted to start the conversation by telling a joke,” she said laughing. I smiled on the inside; I loved a person who was as funny as I was or someone who could make me laugh. I was always considered the funny one so if someone made me smile or laugh they were always on my good side.
“In all honesty ma, that shit was wack, I tell the jokes around here. You just got here and already trying to outshine a nigga, hold your horses,” I said eyeing her. We didn’t say anything else as we stared at each other. She moved her hair out of her face with her hand and suddenly looked down. Our small quality time was soon interrupted when everyone soon came in with all of the food Grams prepared.
***********
When everyone finished eating their food, as always, the ladies helped Barbra out in the kitchen. Once they were finished, they joined the men in the living room. Barbra of course, went upstairs to shower and go to bed, so it was just the couples that occupied the living room. As they looked at each other, a sweet smile formed on Miracle’s face. She liked Turk, but he seemed like the player type. She had been hurt by her son’s father so many times that she feared to love another man.
As she looked at Briana and Persia with their man, she frowned because she craved that type of love. She loved the way Adonis looked at Briana as if she was a god, or Ramses looking at Persia as if she was the prettiest woman on earth. I’m sure she was in his eyes, but the fact of the matter is when you were around them, you could feel the love they had for one another. As she watched Turk watching her, she shifted in her seat uncomfortably. He was making her so nervous that her palms began to sweat. All of a sudden, he got up and walked over to her.
“Let’s go outside ma,” he said as he extended his hand so that he could help her out of the chair. She sat there and looked at Briana and Persia for reassurance. They simply nodded giving her the ok to go outside in the dark with someone she didn’t even know. She soon placed her hand in his and stood up. He led her to the balcony and sat down on the porch swing, she soon joined him and they stared up at the stars as they rocked back and forth.
MIRACLE
It was cold outside and I started to shiver. Turk must have seen that I was freezing as he took his jacket off and wrapped it around me. He then moved closer and began to hold me in his arms. He smelled of Aqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani. Turk looked rough around the edges but his presence was comforting. I laid my head on his shoulder as the swing constantly rocked back and forth.
“Nah ma, lay back and rest your feet on me. Just relax, you seem tense,” he said as he smiled. I did exactly what he asked me to do. I stared at him, I stared at the teardrops that sat under his eye and my curiosity got the best of me.
“What are those teardrops for?” I asked.
He simply laughed and ignored my question saying, “You see the big dipper right there? All those stars? So many galaxies and people got the nerve to think we are the only fucking living beings. I know it’s some form of life out there ma.” He gazed at the stars.
“Well, my mom’s husband worked in the army and he used to tell me so many stories about all the things he used to see,” I said.
“Word? What he say?” Turk asked sounding excited like a kid in a candy store.
“Well, he told me that he saw a flying saucer and that the government is hiding so much shit under our noses, I don’t know if all his stories were true, but they kept me interested.” As I watched the sky, my eyes shifted to him and I caught him staring at me.
“Your conversation is dope ma, I like talking to you.”
“I like talking to you too.” All of a sudden, the screen door busted open and out came Adonis and Briana, followed by Ramses and Persia.
“Aww, look at the two,” Briana cooed. “I’m leaving, Miracle, are you catching a ride with me or Persia?” she asked as she looked at her iPhone.
“You can ride with me, I’ll drop you off,” Turk interrupted.
“I don’t know about all that yet, I may have to get a restraining order on you or something if I don’t like you,” I joked.
“You have no idea ma,” Ramses joked and everyone laughed except for me because I didn’t get the joke.
“Just let me take you home one time,” he pleaded. His eyes literally begged me, but the words didn’t come out. I thought about it for a second and I was going to give in and say yes, but I remembered that he was probably used to getting his way. Then on top of that, I didn’t want him to know where I lived just yet.
“I’m sorry, Turk, but I can’t. I’m sure we will see each other another time so that we can catch up on our conversation, I’ll see you soon hun. You take care,” I instantly got up and walked over to Briana and Persia.
“It doesn’t matter who I catch a ride with, I’ll go with either of you”
“Girl you might as well just come with me,” Persia said as Briana and I followed behind her to the cars.
I could hear Ramses and Adonis getting on Turk, claiming that he got dissed. If it came off that way, then I didn’t mean it. I didn’t intend for it to be rude, I was just protecting myself. When you’ve been hurt, you automatically build a wall. You immediately protect your heart so that you couldn’t get hurt again. I looked back at Turk only to find him staring at me as Adonis and Ramses clowned him. I smiled and turned back around to get into the car. After I put my seatbelt on I still felt him staring at me. I quickly looked up and my suspicions were correct. I stared at him through the window wanting to get out, but I couldn’t. As Ramses got in and started the car, I simply waved and blew a kiss in his direction. He smiled and waved back and watched the car as we pulled off.
KENYA
As I sat in the dressing room, I applied MAC’s Ruby Woo to my full pouty lips. I was about to go on stage and perform my life away in front of people who loved me. Well, they didn’t exactly love me; they loved my assets. After I heard that Adonis killed Nino, I feared for my life as well. I relocated to Atlanta and had been staying here for a couple of weeks. I knew that Adonis had eyes in every state so I took careful precautions so that I wouldn’t be spotted.
Shalia told me that he had a bounty on my head for 250,000 dollars, and I knew a broke nigga would gladly take my head off for that type of money. I ended up completely changing my appearance by changing my hair color to an aqua green, rocking blue contacts and packing tons of makeup on my face. I tricked off a couple of broke dealers whenever I could so that I could stay in a motel.
When I first arrived in Atlanta, I sat in my room as I stared up at the ceiling and wondered why I was living like this. I can’t live my life in fear, I’m 28 years old hiding in a motel wasting my fucking life. I need to get out of this bitch, I screamed, and that’s exactly what my ass did. The very first day I decided to step out of the motel, my life changed forever. I was now “Kinky the Body” at Magic city. Men came every night just to see me and the other strippers that graced the stage.
When I was done applying my makeup, I stared at my complexion in the mirror. “God please make my cheeks clap extra hard tonight so that I can pay my phone bill on time. I need this money more than anything right now. And you know those new Red Bottoms just came out so you need to let these niggas bless a bitch like me so that I can buy those mothafuckas. Amen,” I laughed to myself.
I then went in one of the drawers in the makeup vanity and pulled out a bag of crack cocaine. I stuck my finger in the bag and ran the same finger over my upper gums. My mouth was now numb and tingling, but the feeling I now felt was indescribable. My ass was now Kinky instead of Kenya, I was now ready to perform. I quickly got up from the stool and sashayed out of the dressing room and stood in the entranceway next to the stage.
Melissa was on the stage right now doing her thing. As dollar bills flew from every direction, men along with women screamed her name in the distance. I couldn�
��t help but stare at her. She kind of looks like that bitch that took my man, I thought as I took her in. Shit, they could basically pass for twins. Rage filled my body as I thought about Briana in Chicago living the lavish lifestyle with the man I loved so much, yet I was here stripping, fucking random niggas for money, and trying to scrap up change to pay bills.
If anything, I blamed Briana for fucking my life up although I forgot that this was the lifestyle I chose. Even though I was in Atlanta at the moment, I still planned to end Briana’s happiness even if my life depended on it, or end her life for that matter. Pinky snapped me out of my trance as she stared at Melissa getting off the stage.
“Bitch you up next, go make that money boo. It’s some big ballers in this bitch tonight,” she yelled over the loud music.
“Tell the DJ to introduce me and play my song,” I said as I pulled up my lace thong. I did a once over in the mirror and fixed my aqua curls. I was satisfied with the look I chose tonight. I had on a lime green thong set with my aqua lime stripper heels. I had small a cup breast that didn’t need a bra. What I lacked in breast, I made up for in ass. And trust me I had a lot of it. That’s what mainly got me my tricks and attention. A lot of people told me I looked like Jhonni Blaze, but I didn’t see it. I thought she was prettier than me. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t think I was ugly I just didn’t think I looked like her. In my eyes I was average.
“Alright y’all, this one of our new strippers that’s about to grace this mothafuckin stage. If y’all niggas love fat asses then this bitch is for you & trust a nigga when I say she has plenty. Welcome to the stage Kinkyyyyyyyyyy!” The crowd went wild as Throw Some Mo blasted through the clubs speakers. I made my way to the stage and immediately started twerking my ass. The thong was so small that everyone that sat closer to the stage got a full view of my pussy. I gracefully swung from the pole as if I had been doing it my whole life. I quickly peered into the crowd as I made my ass clap and spotted the same men that Nino and I spoke with at Hooters smiling at me. I winked back and took off all my clothes just so they could get a full view of my pussy and ass. Dollar bills were being thrown everywhere until the song came to an end. One of the clubs workers walked on the stage with a broom and swept all of my earnings into a trash bag. I had two trash bags filled with paper.
