Chapter 17 Ava
AVA
“So, what exactly happened last night? You never did say why y’all got into it,” Dawn said as I got in her car.
“I don’t even wanna say ‘cause I know how you are,” I replied, putting on my seatbelt.
“What’s that supposed to mean? What’s Shane’s address so I can GPS it?”
I gave her Shane’s address then continued. “You know how you get whenever I tell you stuff. You hold onto that shit like it be happening to you.”
“You’re my little sister, so if someone fucks with you and your feelings, it’s happening to me too. Just tell me what happened.”
“Justin asked me to not only suck his dick from the back, but yo lick his ass too. I snapped out and he—”
“Woah, woah, woah! Yoooo, sis! He asked you to do what?” Dawn interrupted looking over at me like I had offended her.
“You heard me right. He asked me to lick his ass,” I repeated. “Trust me, I had the same reaction and the same look on my face that you have right now.”
“But hol’ up! I ain’t never heard of sucking dick from the back. How the fuck that shit even work?”
“I’ve never heard about it until last night either.”
“I’m sitting here really trying to figure this shit out ‘cause when a dick gets hard that joker sticks either straight out, up, or to the side. What kind of dick that nigga got—”
“Dawn, please! You startin’ to do too much.”
“Nah, that shit is too much! So, did you do it?”
“I gave him oral from behind, but I wasn’t about to lick his damn ass!”
“How in the hell did you manage to do it though? I’m really not trying to be all up in y’all’s business, but this is some shit I need to know. Is that really possible?”
“Yes, it’s possible. He got on the bed in the doggie style position, and I grabbed his dick from behind him and pulled—”
“Girl, stop! I done heard enough! Ain’t no fucking way I’m putting my face close to no nigga’s ass like that. You a real one forreal, forreal! So that nigga likes his ass to be licked too? Chile! This is too damn much for me! I would’ve round housed kick him right in his ass!”
“I swear you do the most. You just say whatever comes to your mind, not giving one damn!”
“So, you gon’ act like that’s not too much! Let me find out that fool like it in the booty! Let me find that shit out, and it’s gonna be a fucking problem tah-day!”
“See, now you got me thinkin’ ‘cause Ion know many men that like to have their ass licked.”
“Or dick sucked from the back, bitch! Don’t leave that part out like that shit’s okay.”
“Will you chill! The sucking dick from the back part isn’t as bad as you think.”
“That’s your story, boo.”
“I’m just saying, yeah, it’s different, but it doesn’t mean that he likes it in the booty, sis. It’s really not all that you makin’ it seem. Now the licking his ass part, that got me feeling some type of way. I was completely taken off guard and offended to say the least.”
“I bet you were!” Dawn interjected. “Boy, that fool lucky he pulled that shit with you. I wish a motherfucker WOULD ask me some shit like that.”
“Don’t start—”
“Don’t start what?” Dawn asked, cutting me off. “That clown tried you!”
“He definitely did that because he snapped and left and hasn’t been back home since.”
“I thought that he didn’t care for or like Shane?”
“He don’t,” I responded.
“So, what in the hell would he be doing at his house if he don’t like that nigga?”
“Now, that’s the smartest question you asked me all day ‘cause I’m sitting here wondering the same thing. I called Shane before I called you, and he never answered my call, nor has he called me back.”
“This shit gettin’ juicier and juicier by the second. Let me find out they over there fucking on each other. I’ma beat both of their asses. Straight like that!”
“Justin is not gay, Dawn. Just because he is here now, doesn’t mean he’s been here since last night.
And it certainly don’t mean they over there fuckin’ on each other either!
” My sister had a really wild imagination if she thought my husband was in there fucking my best friend.
That would be some insane shit, but I was really trying to figure out why Justin was here though.
“Facts! But how long does the app say he has been here?”
“I didn’t know that it could tell you all of that. I swear you’re like a technology wizard.”
“Shit, nowadays you have to be for times like this!” Dawn laughed.
Pulling up the Life 360 app on my phone, I checked to see if it would tell me when Justin arrived at Shane’s house. When it said that he had been here since last night, I gasped out loud.
“What it say, bitch, shit?”
“I don’t even wanna say,” I responded.
Before I could say anything else, Dawn had done snatched my cellphone out of my hand and looked for herself.
“Oh, now see, I’ma havta kill both they asses!
” I shouted. “See, I told you Shane’s ass couldn’t be trusted.
I knew there was a reason why I didn’t like his ass.
You need to be more careful when you select your friends and men ‘cause this shit is too damn much. I’m sorry, sis, but I ain’t gon’ chill on none of that!
Both of them finna get these hands as SOON as I pull up to the house… on God!”
I couldn’t do anything but sit there and take all that she was saying in because she was right.
She never really cared for Shane nor Justin’ and if there wasn’t a good enough reason for Justin to be at Shane’s house, then they both had proven her right all along.
As I sat there deep in my thoughts, trying not to become emotional while Dawn drove like a bat out of hell, all I could do was pray to God that nothing inappropriate was going on.
When we pulled up to Shane’s house, Dawn barely parked her car correctly as she slammed on her brakes and jetted out the driver’s seat.
“Wait! Dawn, wait a damn minute!” I yelled out to her, not ready to be faced with what was really going on.
“Wait for what?” she asked, looking at me like I was crazy.
“Let’s just sit in the car and wait for Justin to leave.”
“Girl, you sound crazy as hell. But hold up,” she said, coming back to the driver’s side, opening the door and popping her trunk.
Getting out of the car, I went to go see what she was doing.
“What you looking for?” I asked as she searched through her trunk.
“Something to beat they ass with. They not about to get off easy this time.”
“Let’s just see what’s going on first before you go jumping to conclusions.”
“I ain’t tryna hear none of it. Either way, we about to be prepared for some shit to pop off,” Dawn replied. “Fuck! I can’t find my damn bat! Shit, this double dutch rope gon’ have to work.”
“What you doing with a double dutch rope in your trunk?”
“Girl, it’s good exercise. Me and a few of my friends meet up and jump every once in a while.
You should come with us one day,” Dawn replied, separating the two ropes handing me one then walking off toward Shane’s front door.
“Come on, why you just standin’ there? Now ain’t the time for you to be gettin’ all soft.
Your damn husband in there fuckin’ your gay ass bestie!
Are you in shock cause I know like hell you betta not be in denial. ”
Speed walking to catch up to Dawn, all I could do was pray. Lord, please don’t let this be what I think it is. As soon as Dawn got to the front door, she started ringing Shane’s doorbell and knocking on the door at the same time like she was the feds.
It took a good ten minutes before we heard what sounded like Shane’s voice coming to the door.
“Who the hell ringin’ my shit and knockin’ on my damn door like the fucking police!” We heard Shane say right before he swung the door open. “What in the hell!”
“Where he at?” Dawn shouted. “The fuck is Justin’s ass at?”
“What the hell is going on?” Shane asked, looking from me to Dawn.
“That’s what we’re trying to find out,” I answered. “Where is Justin at, and why is he at your house?”
“Whaa… Whaaat you mean—” Shane tried to ask, but by then, Dawn had pushed him out the way and walked into his house.
“Justin! Justin! Bring your ass out here, motherfucker!” Dawn yelled.
“Why would you think he here though?” Shane asked.
“Stop playing, Shane. His car is parked two houses down. Where else would he be?” I asked, giving him a mean mug. “The real question is what’s going on between you two? Why has my husband been over here since last night?”
“I, I, I, I don’t know what you talkin’ about,” Shane stuttered.
Before any of us could say anything else, Justin came walking up to the front door putting his shirt on with his pants unzipped.
“You dirty motherfucker you!” I spat, barging into the house, further confronting Justin.
“What the fuck! What are you doing here, Justin?” I asked, and before he could answer, my reflexes had got the best of me and I swung the rope that was in my hand at him, hitting him across his face and chest. “You fuckin’ Shane now?
” I asked as I continued swinging the rope.
“What the fuck!” was all Justin could say as he continued to try to cover himself as I whooped his ass with the rope.
As I was whooping Justin’s ass, Dawn was giving Shane the ass whipping of his life. The whole time she was fussing and cussing him out calling him all types of names. Somehow, Justin was able to grab ahold of the rope preventing me from hitting him.
“Let me explain, it’s not what you think,” he pleaded.
“What’s to explain? You come walking up in here, putting your clothes on and shit. I can’t believe you!” I cried.
As Justin stood there trying to come up with a good enough excuse, Shane had somehow broke free from the ass whooping Dawn was giving him.
“I’m calling the police!” Shane bellowed.
Shane was fair skinned, so you could tell that Dawn had really got his ass good because his face, chest, and arms were bright red with welts all over him. I knew that Justin was lying when he said that nothing was going on because Shane only had on a pair of boy shorts.
“I’m so sorry, Ava! I never meant for you to find out like this,” Shane admitted then continued. “But I’ma have to ask you to get your guard dog under control, or I’ma have to call the police on y’all.”
“Guard dog!” Dawn shouted as she swung the rope and hit him across his back causing him to scream out in agony.
“You over here doing God knows what with my sister’s husband, you lil punk ass!
You lucky I don’t kill yo nasty ass. And you!
” she shouted, pointing her finger at Justin.
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself! You have a wife and you over here fuckin’ this nigga! !”
“Come on, Dawn. Let’s go. I’ve seen all I need to see. As for you,” I said pointing to Justin, “we’re done! There’s no coming back from this shit.” To show him that I meant business, I took off my wedding ring and threw it in his face.
“Ava!” Justin called out at the same time as Shane. “Ava, baby, please!”
“I don’t have shit to say to either one of y’all. Fuck both you punk ass niggas!” I spat as Dawn and I left, slamming Shane’s door behind us.
As we walked back to Dawn’s car, a few of Shane’s neighbors were standing out on their front porches being nosey, but I didn’t care.
My feelings were hurt. Justin had fucked up for the last time.
As for Shane, I couldn’t even think clearly to know what to do about his ass.
All I knew for sure was that our friendship was over as well.
