“Get off of me, Trell!” she said.
“Just chill out!”
I let her go then she pushed me into the wall. Naya was wild and stubborn. Sometimes I forget she’s a girl and be ready to knock her out. We had a wild relationship and maybe even toxic, but I wasn’t trying to let her go.
“Why would you prank me like that? And I was dumb enough to go along with it,” she said.
“I knew you was going to let me in because you still care about me.”
“That’s the problem with you! You are always playin’ with my emotions,” she said.
Naya sat on the couch with tear-filled eyes. She was hurt but I knew if she found out I was fucking her cousin and practically living with her, it would damage her even more.
“Why do you keep coming back to me when you know it’s not fair? I’m serious, Quyntrell, I don’t want to be with you anymore. You fucked Katrice and she lives upstairs on the third floor! How you fuck someone in this building? Just because I don’t stay here that much doesn’t mean I wouldn’t find out. I’m also tired of going to the clinic when I find out about you cheating in fear of having an STD! I’m about tired of all of it!” Naya said.
“You want to fuck someone else or somethin’? Is that why you have that tight ass outfit on? One of these niggas out here pumpin’ your head up? Take that outfit off!”
Naya jumped up off the couch with her fists balled up. “Nigga, I’ll beat your ass and you can tell Deerie, too!” she said.
“Yo, Naya, if you hit me I’m rockin’ your ass back!”
“Get out of my crib!” she said then mushed me.
I pushed Naya on the couch; she swung on me but missed. I held her down to kiss on her neck. Naya wasn’t a porn star in bed but she had good pussy and she also was the type of shorty to hold a nigga down. She rocked with me the long way.
“Stop it!” Naya said.
That time I kissed her, and she stopped resisting me. I knew Naya’s body all too well, she was aroused. She let me put my hand in her shorts to feel her warm and wet center.
“TRELL!” someone shouted while knocking on the door.
Naya pushed me off her and shot up to answer the door. I knew some shit was ready to pop off because it was Katrice. Shorty was all the way ratchet with it, too. Her hair was all over her head and she had her baby on her hip. Crust was in her eye and she was wearing the white T-shirt I left at her crib which had stains on it. She must’ve been frying fish cause Naya’s crib was filled with the smell of grease.
“What are you going to do about your bitch, Trell? Why is this dirty ass hoe knocking on my door with this snotty-ass baby?” Naya asked.
“You better watch your mouth!” Katrice said to Naya.
“Why are you down here though? You couldn’t wash your ass or nothing? Get your dirty ass on, Katrice. It’s not even this deep, shorty. You knew I had a girl so why you mad?” I asked.
“Step outside, Trell, and let me talk to you for a minute!” Katrice yelled.
“Take your baby in the house and come back downstairs so we can fight!” Naya said to Katrice.
“You can have his broke ass anyway. I should’ve fucked his fine ass brother instead. Tell Tryst I’ll be home later,” Katrice said. She ran her mouth a lot but couldn’t fight which is why she brought her baby with her. I don’t know what I was thinking messing around with her on a late night.
Naya slammed the door in Katrice’s face; I already knew what was about to happen, so I hauled ass out the door with Naya cursing me out.
“Don’t bring your ass back, Trell!” Naya yelled.
A beat-up Honda Civic pulled up next to my car when I reached the parking lot. June Bug and his cousin Zee got out as soon as they saw me. I didn’t know too much about that Zee nigga, but June Bug was like my second father. Many times, he came to see me while Chrome was living his other life with his wife and kids. I didn’t tell Tryst yet, but I gave June Bug ten g’s the day before, so he could get on his feet.
“What’s up, Nephew?” June Bug asked while giving me dap.
“Nothing just chillin’ for real. Probably ready to go home and chill for a minute.”
“Let me holla at you,” June Bug said.
He told Zee to give us a few minutes before we walked off.
“What’s good?”
“Why Tryst holdin’ out on me? I already know he the man now because Tierra told me and she ain’t never lied to me. So, what’s the deal? Can you get him to front me or what?” June Bug asked.
“I don’t know anything, June Bug. Just take the money I gave you and start over or somethin’. It ain’t much but it’s enough to hold you over until you find a job. Things have changed, June Bug, and the last thing you want to do is get caught up already.”
“Fuck all of that, Trell! You think I’m going to get a job with tattoos on my face and a middle school education. Naw, fuck that! This is all I know, Nephew. What about all the times I was there for you when Chrome wasn’t there? I damn near raised you! All I’m asking is to give me some work. I’m hurtin’ out here!” June Bug said.
I couldn’t see him go out like that. June Bug hustled his whole life and he was somewhat illiterate. He was important to my father and was down for him since they were younger.
“Aight but this stays between us! Don’t say shit to nobody!”
June Bug rubbed his ashy hands together. “I won’t say a word, Nephew.”
“Aight, I’ll hit you when I reup,” I said.
“Okay, bet. Glad to see your heart ain’t turn cold like your brother’s. He’s not the same kid anymore,” June Bug said before he walked away.
I pulled up to the crib and there was a Jaguar parked on the other side of the street. The car was familiar, matter of fact, the dude that came by the other day with flowers for Dream had the same whip. I got out of my car and walked over to Jaguar. My gun was tucked snuggly in the back of my shorts, just in case I had to scare his bitch-ass.
“Aye! Who you lookin’ for?” I asked when he got out of his car. He was a straight lace dude. It was my second time seeing him and he had on a suit.
“I’m a real estate agent and my client has an appointment to tour that white house right there,” he bragged while pulling up his tight dress pants.
“Naw, you into some other shit. You spyin’ on Dream or somethin’?”
Tryst had been knocking down Dream for over three years and I had never seen him sweat over Dream like that. But this Adrian dude was pussy-whipped!
“Not at all. Did she enjoy the flowers? I’m certain she doesn’t see many living around this dump,” he said.
“She’s gonna see a lot at your funeral. Get the fuck away from this property! I know those people over there and they just moved in, so I know you ain’t showin’ nobody a house. Get the fuck from around here before I put some shit in your dome!”
Adrian hurriedly got into his car and I kicked the back taillight out before he pulled off.
Kimberly was in the kitchen talking to someone when I walked into the house. I was quiet when I came in because I didn’t want her to say anything to me. While creeping upstairs, I heard some of her conversation.
“I don’t care what you say! I’m not telling Deerie anything about you! David is her father! I had enough of your shit over the years! You were supposed to make things right but now look at you,” Kimberly said.
She must’ve hung up because she was quiet all of a sudden. I went upstairs to my bedroom and closed the door. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was fast asleep…
I woke up in the middle of night to use the bathroom. The smell of sex and weed got into my nose when I walked out my bedroom. I walked past my aunt Tierra’s room and her door was shut with moans coming from the other side. Tierra didn’t want me to come out of my room at a certain time because she called it her “fun time.” I crept down the hallway, so she couldn’t hear me. Once I reached the bathroom, I flipped the toilet seat up. While peeing, someone opened the door.
“Someone is in here!” I said.
A big man came inside and closed the door. His eyes were big and sweat covered his forehead. I knew he was high because Tierra’s company came over late to smoke.
“Get the fuck out!” I yelled.
“Sssshhhh, come here,” he said, getting closer.
I pulled up my shorts to leave the bathroom, but he blocked me. He covered my mouth and pulled my shorts down. I bit him and even tried to get out of his grasp, but he was too big. It happened so fast. He pushed me against the wall and put his finger between my cheeks. I heard his pants unzipping and at that moment I started crying. When he picked me up, I kicked over the top of the toilet and it hit against the sink making a loud noise.
“TRELL!” Tierra called out.
The man threw my eleven-year-old body on the floor then laid on top of me. I grabbed the plunger and hit the tub, so she could hear me. The man squeezed my face, so I wouldn’t yell. Tierra came into the bathroom and I heard her yelling for someone to help her. Four people had to come into the bathroom to get the big dude off me while Tierra was fighting on him. Once he was out the bathroom, I ran into my room and called my father. I couldn’t get ahold of him, so I called June Bug and he answered. I told him what happened, and he told me he was on his way…
I woke up drenched in sweat. Sometimes I had dreams about what happened to me eight years ago. Just thinking about how close I was to being raped angered me. My father should’ve been there. I shouldn’t have been living in the hood to begin with since he could afford mansions. June Bug killed the big man that night—well, I assume he did because I haven’t seen him since. Chrome never found out what happened because Tierra begged June Bug to keep quiet. If my father found out, he would’ve killed her. I owed June Bug a lot, so I couldn’t give a fuck how Tryst felt about him.
Kabella texted me and told me to come home because she had a surprise for me. I just wanted to hit it one more time before I dropped her for good. Naya was mad at me anyway so I was only killing time.
*************
Music played throughout Kabella’s crib when I walked in. I already knew she had something special for me because shorty was adventurous. Kabella was sitting on the couch and she looked good. She was wearing a red silk kimono that matched her nails and toes. Her hair was pulled up into an up-do with chopsticks.
“I thought you wasn’t going to show up,” Kabella said.
“I want to know what you have for me.”
“MINNAAAAA! HE’S HERE!” Kabella shouted out.
We talked about having threesomes before, but I thought maybe Kabella was too jealous to actually give me one. The fast life is what I wanted and Naya was slowing me down. Kabella came over to me and I gripped her backside when I hugged her.
“I missed you,” she said.
“Who is this Mina shorty and why is she taking so long? I hope she’s here for me.”
“You know I’m here to please, baby. Hopefully after this you can get off of Naya’s hoodrat ass pussy and appreciate me. I want to make it work,” she said.
“There are a lot of niggas out here that might be ready to wife you. I’m only nineteen. Do you really think I want to settle down right now? If I wanted to do that I would’ve been under Naya. I’m here because I just want to do me, bruh. Fuck all that shit you keep asking me about.”
“You’ll change your mind soon,” she said.
Kabella went to the bar in the corner of her living room and poured me a glass of Patrón.
“Come have a seat on the couch,” Kabella instructed after she gave me the drink. My dick was hard thinking about what she had planned for me, but I did what she told me to do. She blindfolded me after I finished my drink.
“Taste this,” Kabella said. She slipped something cold and sweet between my lips. I couldn’t make out what it was, but I wanted more.
“Peaches and honey,” Kabella said while giving me another one.
She unzipped my shorts; I heard a pair of heels walking towards the living room. I knew it wasn’t Kabella because she was reaching into my shorts to pull my dick out. The fragrance the other woman was wearing smelled better than Kabella’s.
“Can I take these off?” I asked.
“Just wait and don’t touch!” Kabella said.
A condom was placed on my dick followed by someone sucking on my neck.
“He is big,” the other voice said.
This gotta be a white girl.
“Don’t be scared, Mina. He knows what to do with it,” Kabella said. She took my shirt off while the other girl was trying to fit me into her tight pussy. I knew it wasn’t Kabella’s pussy because I would’ve been inside her already.
“I wish you would hurry the fuck up!” I said to Mina.
I reached out to touch Mina, but she smacked my hands away. The threesome wasn’t how I imagined it. Peaches and honey were the best thing I got out of it. Mina couldn’t ride dick and Kabella was kissing on my neck and rubbing on my nipples like I was supposed to stay hard because of it. I took the blindfold off and there was an Asian midget on top of me with pigtails. She was pretty, reminding me of a small version of Chun Li off Street Fighter. I stood up and she fell on the floor. Kabella rushed to her. “Why did you do that?” Kabella asked.
“Bitch, I should slap the chopsticks out of your head! What type of special occasion is this? You got me up here trying to stick dick in a little person? Muthafucka this feels like child endangerment! No wonder she couldn’t take dick with that little coochie!”
I grabbed my shirt and fitted hat. Kabella was standing in the middle of the floor with Mina standing next to her, feeling embarrassed.
“Jesus, Kabella! You didn’t tell him I’m a small person? I want my damn money!” Mina said and wobbled away.
“Most men have a fetish for small women! Mina is very expensive! That’s grade-A pussy, Trell!” Kabella fussed.
“Bitch, that’s grade kindergarten pussy! Fuck you! Lose my fuckin’ number, too. You tryin’ to make me less of man or somethin’? You got me a woman that looks like a child!” I said while fixing my shorts.
Kabella followed me to the door, begging me to stay. “Pleaseeeee, Trell. I’m sorry! I really don’t know what I did wrong. I thought you’d have fun with this threesome. I’ll tell her to leave if you stay and talk to me,” Kabella said.
“I only came here because Naya was trippin’ again. That’s it! Now move the fuck out of the way!”
“If you want to leave, go right on ahead and be with Naya. Just know she’ll find out that you have been fuckin’ her cousin once I invite her to the baby shower,” Kabella said with her arms crossed.
“The fuck is you tryin’ to say?”
“I’m trying to tell you that I’m six weeks pregnant which is why I gave up my life to be with you! Don’t pretend that I’m still on the stroll. I’ve done everything so that you can be happy and you’re constantly shutting me out! I’m not the only one that’s contributing to this! Lately you have been treating me like shit,” Kabella cried.
Mina came down the stairs dragging her suitcase behind her. She held her hand out to Kabella.
“I’ll be right back. It’s in my purse,” Kabella told Mina.
She left the foyer, leaving me with Mina.
“Are you afraid that I’ll bite your knees. You do know midget phobia is discrimination,” she said.
“Leave him alone, Mina,” Kabella said.
She handed Mina a small stack of money; I held the door open so Mina could leave. I only stayed behind because Kabella dropped a bomb on me.
“Mina carries a gun bigger than her. She doesn’t play about her money,” Kabella laughed.
“Yo, cut the bullshit. What were you saying about a baby shower?”
“I’m saying that I’m pregnant,” Kabella replied.
I opened the front door, as Kabella followed me outside barefoot. She was screaming, crying and acting crazy.
“Don’t leave me!” she sa
id, holding on to the driver’s side door of my whip. I pushed her away from the door.
“Open the door!” Kabella screamed after I closed it. I sped off, hoping to run over her feet. Kabella pulled the oldest trick in the book to trap me. It wasn’t mine anyway if she really was knocked up.
The drive to Aunt Tierra’s house didn’t take long. My brother’s pick-up truck was parked in front the crib. I could smell the barbeque coming from the backyard when I got out of the car. Aunt Tierra cooked on the grill almost every night. I walked around back of the house where the music was playing.
“Y’all having a party without me?” I asked.
“I hit you up like three times,” Tryst said. He was sitting in a folding chair while Aunt Tierra was making him a plate. I hated how she waited on my brother like he was handicap or something.
“That ain’t your man, Tierra!” I said.
“You ain’t mine neither when I wait on you,” she replied.
“Stop hating, bruh. You want some?” Tryst asked after she gave him his plate.
“Man, fuck you.”
“I’ll beat yah body,” he replied, and I waved him off.
We got into three fights over the years and he whipped my ass every time.
“Why do you two always get into it? Y’all are damn near inseparable,” Aunt Tierra said.
“I don’t pay that nigga no mind. He only gets like that when he can’t control his bitches,” Tryst said.
“And I guess you can control yours, huh? That nigga Adrian was parked in front the house earlier. I’m sick of seeing him, too. He could be the FEDS or somethin’. We don’t need that right now.”
Tryst didn’t say anything. I wasn’t really trying to blast him, but he had to know about Dream. She was going to get us hemmed up if she had men stalking her. Aunt Tierra gave me a plate. “Don’t waste none of it,” she said.
“I might be a father,” Tryst blurted out.
“Dream pregnant?” I asked.
That’s probably why Kabella talkin’ about she pregnant.
“Naw, bruh. It’s a girl I went to high school with. Me and Dream was out yesterday, just chillin’. Jonna comes to our table and starts talking like she doesn’t see me sittin’ with my shorty. Long story short, she told me the little girl that was with her is mine. The little girl resembles me in a way. I already knew what it was before she even told me,” Tryst said.
