Saniyah
Two months had passed, and Crue, Kadeem, and I had been going strong.
Life looked completely different now, and honestly, I was loving it.
Just a few months ago, I was stressed over rent, driving a car that barely started, and praying someone would call me back for an interview.
Now, my life had done a one eighty. I had a job that paid more than I’d ever made in my life and a brand-new car that didn’t have a note on it.
Not to mention, I was getting the Mario coins knocked out my pussy on the regular by two of the finest men in the city.
Life was great, and there were no complaints coming from me.
However, it wasn’t just about the money either.
I truly enjoyed the time I spent with them.
We kept it professional in the office, not wanting anyone in our business.
But behind closed doors, baby, I had never been a part of freak sessions with that amount of freakism.
I hadn’t told anyone, not even Nazuri, and I wasn’t ashamed either.
I just wanted to keep this between us. I felt it was great the way it was, and telling other people brought room for other people’s musty ass opinions, and that was what I didn’t need.
It was Friday, and the office was closed because tomorrow was the Fourth of July.
Crue and Kadeem were hosting a company day party for the holiday, and I needed to find a new outfit.
I knew the entire city was going to come out and celebrate with them, and I wanted to look good.
Clients, family, and friends would all be gathered around good food, drinks, and music for this event, and I couldn’t wait.
I’d told Nazuri that she could come with me to the party, and we were about to head to the mall to find outfits.
I dressed comfortably in a pair of jeans and a white button up shirt.
What set my look off was the Gucci loafers and hat I paired with it, which had been a gift from Kadeem a couple of weeks ago.
After grabbing my purse and keys, I walked out the door.
I pulled up to Nazuri’s house about ten minutes later and parked in her driveway.
When her door opened and she didn’t immediately walk out, I knew she wanted me to come inside.
Cutting the engine, I grabbed my purse and got out the car.
I could smell the weed coming from inside the closer I got to the door.
Walking inside, I saw Nazuri sitting on the couch, taking a pull of her blunt.
“I’m ready. I just want to finish this blunt right quick.”
“Girl, you act like that weed going somewhere. Put that shit out and come on.” I laughed, taking a seat on the chair opposite of her.
“I shop better when I’m high.”
The look on her face was so serious that I couldn’t help but laugh.
Once she was finally finished with her blunt, we walked out of her house, on our way to Sommerset Mall.
The moment we walked into the mall, my phone rang.
Sliding it out of my purse, I looked at the screen to see Crue’s name flashing across it and answered.
“What’s good, baby? Where you at?” he asked.
“I just walked into Sommerset with my best friend.”
“Oh, okay, so you can’t really talk right now. Are you getting something to wear to the day party?”
“Yeah, I am,” I replied.
“Check yo’ Cash App then. I just sent you a lil’ something. And call me when you get back to the crib,” he spoke before ending the call.
I received a Cash App notification just a few seconds later, letting me know that Crue had sent me fifteen hundred dollars.
I smiled before putting my phone back into my purse.
We’d just walked into the first store when my phone chimed again.
It was another Cash App notification, this time from Kadeem, for another fifteen hundred.
It was things like this that I loved. It was never just one that did.
If Crue did something, Kadeem was coming right behind him, matching whatever he did and vice versa.
“Bitch, what got you smiling so tough?” Nazuri asked, looking over at me.
“Girl, that was my boss telling me about things he has planned for the party,” I lied.
We continued shopping for hours, and with the extra money I’d just received, I was able to shop for more than I came for. By the time our day finally ended, it was almost six in the evening, and I was tired as hell. After I dropped Nazuri off, I headed home, ready to take a nice hot bubble bath.
I woke up around nine that next morning to good morning beautiful texts from both Kadeem and Crue.
Every morning, I woke up to a good morning text from both of them, and every morning, it made me smile.
I texted them both back then walked into my bathroom.
After I peed, I washed my face and brushed my teeth before heading into my kitchen.
I scrambled a couple of eggs then added cheese and put them onto a plate.
I also cut up some fresh pineapple and watermelon to have on the side.
After breakfast, I cleaned up my apartment and then took a shower.
The party started at one, but I knew I wanted to get there early just in case they needed my help with anything.
Once out the shower, I stood in my bathroom in my bra and panties, trying to decide how I wanted to do my hair.
I wasn’t sure if I wanted it straight or curled, down or half up.
The way I was acting, you would think this was a first date and not men that I saw every day.
Although no one knew what the three of us had going on, I still wanted to make a statement – even if it was a silent one.
After about twenty minutes, I finally settled on a half up style that I put wand curls in.
When my hair was done, I began applying my makeup.
I didn’t want to do too much, so I went with a soft glam with brown undertones.
After spraying my face with setting spray, I walked back into my room where my dress was hanging in my closet.
It was a cream dress with thick straps that was fitted at the top and flowed at the bottom.
It was the perfect summer dress, and it fit my curves perfectly.
The dress was sexy yet still elegantly tasteful.
I paired the dress with gold jewelry and a pair of gold sandals.
After spraying myself from head to toe with Another Thirteen, I was ready to go.
I shot a text to Nazuri, telling her that I was on my way, then walked out the door.
I pulled up to Nazuri’s, pulled into her driveway, and got out the car.
I walked inside, already knowing that the door was unlocked.
I could smell the weed the moment I walked in, and I called out to her as I closed the door.
She yelled back from her bedroom, telling me that she would be ready in five minutes.
Walking over to her couch, I took a seat just as my phone chimed.
I smiled when I looked down and saw it was Kadeem texting in our group chat, telling me that he couldn’t wait to see me.
We texted for a few moments until Nazuri finally walked out into the living room.
She was wearing an orange spaghetti strapped bodysuit with matching sheer pants. Her hair was in a long, straight ponytail down her back. My girl looked good. I knew my best friend would match my fly.
“Girl, I’m ready. I had to make sure I looked good just in case one of them rich ass men want to take me home.” She grabbed a rolled blunt from her weed tray and put it in her purse.
“It’s gon’ be a lot of them there. You might be in luck.”
When we pulled up to Blackline, the parking lot was already filled with cars.
The smell of barbeque hit my nose the moment I got out the car.
There were carnival rides and a petting zoo for the kids.
There was also an open bar and a dance floor, along with a DJ that already had the music going.
White cabanas lined one side of the field, sheer curtains blowing softly in the summer breeze, while servers moved through the crowd of people, carrying trays of drinks and expensive appetizers.
I tried my best to get here early, but we didn’t get to the party until after one thirty.
However, from the look of things, it was all under control, and my help wouldn’t have been needed.
“Girl, this is dope as fuck. Look at this shit. It’s a whole petting zoo, and they got monkeys. Bitch, I feel like I need to be over there.” Nazuri pointed.
“Girl, that shit is for the kids. Bring yo’ ass on.” I laughed as we walked farther into the field.
“Oh, my God, bitch.” Nazuri grabbed my arm, stopping me from walking. “Is that T-weezy?” She pointed.
T-weezy was a well-known rapper from the city who was Nazuri’s favorite.
I’d told her not to act crazy if she saw celebrities, but I knew T-weezy was her exception.
Before I could say anything, Nazuri let out a loud scream and took off running toward him.
I tried to grab her, but she was too fast. Before I knew it, she was standing in his face, jumping up and down.
All I could do was shake my head as I walked over to them slowly.
“T-weeeeezy!” she yelled. “What up doe, my baby?”
“What up doe, my baby? You looking good, lil’ mama.”
Nazuri smiled, doing a little twirl so that he could see the entire outfit.
Before she turned back around to face him, she bent over, shaking her ass a few times.
I was so fucking embarrassed. Leave it to my best friend to show her ass in front of one of our clients.
When I finally walked up to them, I grabbed Nazuri’s arm, trying to get her to come with me, while I apologized to T-weezy.
“If you wanna fifth baby mama, holla at me, boo. I’ll come be part of the tribe,” she yelled as I damn near pulled her away.
