Story
I laughed so hard at my daddy when he started doing this new Tik Tok dance my brother Jesse taught him. I had another hour before work, so I grabbed my Samsung tablet and decided to video call my brother Jesse.
He was at home in the family room, so he put me on display for everyone. Mama was in the kitchen with my sister Pixie. They were making the scented candles that they sold on Facebook Market Place. We’d been on video for twenty minutes now.
“Pixie bring me my tablet when you’re done!” Jesse shouted at our sister when she took his tablet and ran upstairs.
“I will!” She shouted back then she closed her bedroom door. “I talked to Regan and she told me about your new boyfriend.”
Regan could never hold a secret, so I wasn’t surprised.
“Tell me she only told you because I wanted to be the one to tell mama and daddy.”
“She only told me and I haven’t said anything. I’m just glad you’re over Walker. Tell me about the new guy?”
I laid across my bed and looked at the black t-shirt that was left over in my place. “My babe’s name is Halo. I’ll send you a picture of him later. He is my age and there are a few layers to him. But I promises he is so sweet, we get along well and he likes romcom movies like I do.”
Pixie squealed louder than a pig. “Story! I don’t even know him, but I like him. And he likes those cheesy movies like you! Have y’all had sex yet?”
Even though she was my sixteen-year-old sister, we had a very open relationship. Pixie was still a virgin, and she knew when she was ready that me and Regan would be here for her.
“Not yet but I’m sure we will soon.” I wasn’t about to tell her the important details about me and Halo because of how intense it was.
Halo’s past was something I would never have expected. Halo being a virgin was the first shock, but his trauma was the second. The hurt in his eyes and the way he held everything in for so long was heartbreaking. Since that time in my room, he and I have spent more time together.
I was obsessed over that man already. I liked his laugh, the way he answers my calls and texts, and I like our make out sessions. I don’t know how I was about to sound but I really like that Halo was inexperienced. When we made out like high school seniors.
It was wild, a lot of moaning, touching and I could not get enough of putting his dick in my mouth. I have never been like that with any guy but Halo and it was because of his reaction. He kept looking at me the entire time and I knew it was because of his past.
Him being able to look at me and gave himself permission to enjoy the pleasure. I got turned on tuning him on and getting him off. My ego was strong because Halo was like a puppy in my hands, a sexy puppy.
I could ask him for anything, and he’d do it or make it happen. I think he did it because I never took advantage of it.
“Story he is fine as hell. Is that all his long hair?” Pixie asked me when she looked at the picture of us that I texted him.
“Thank you and yes, it is. He is a triplet and all three of them have long hair. He isn’t too fond of Hendrix though, but I’ll change that soon.”
“I imagine he isn’t. Have you seen Hendrix! I love him like a big brother, but he is extremely cute, and he doesn’t play about you. Even though he’s gay as a cup of colorful sprinkles.”
I cracked up at my sister. “Yeah, but both have to get along. They are important in my life and---”
I stopped because Jesse burst into Pixie’s room and demanded his tablet. It was so funny when they argued. I told them both that I love them and promised Pixie that I would call her tomorrow and tell her more. After I hung up with them, I plugged my tablet up then put my clothes on for work.
I decided to wear some lace cheeky panties with a matching bra that had my girls sitting up even better than they naturally did.
My romper was shorts with short sleeves and it tied in the front.
It was red, green, and white so I wore green thong kitten-heel sandals.
I put my long wavy hair into a high ponytail and left some hair hanging in the back.
When I walked downstairs with my crossbody purse on I saw Hendrix walking some guy to the door. Hendrix was in some pajama pants and no shirt. The guy was very good looking with a haircut and same height as my best friend.
“I’ll hit’chu up later.” Hendrix told him when he opened door.
The guy looked at Hendrix with a glow in his eye and smirked. “You betta.” He kissed him then Hendrix chuckled and closed the door.
“Where do you meet these men. GQ for gay men?” I joked with him.
“I got tha sauce girl! I keep telling you that! Naw but for real I met Karter at the horse races in Big Rapids. I wanted something different than the thug shit I normally go for. Karter has a mix of both, street, and book smart. And he didn’t run from my dick either, rather I was fucking him or making him choke on it. ”
“Hendrix!! Goodness!!” I hit his arm laughing so hard at his bluntness.
“Shit I’m just being honest. You might be seeing that one again. You work today?” He asked when we walked into the kitchen.
I just wanted a banana and smoothie drink. Hendrix turned the coffee maker on for himself and started making him some breakfast. I sat on the chair in the kitchen nook.
“Yup I need to leave in fifteen minutes.”
“So, we gone talk about you and the infamous Halo Stone. I gave you a few days to process it.” He had humor in his voice.
“Shut up. Yes, we can talk about it. First let’s talk about the fact that I was told that he was gay or bisexual. My plans were to make my best friend and hook him up with you.”
The way he found what I said so funny made me laugh too.
“Let me tell you a few things wrong with what you said. I’ll be the only best friend you have. I don’t play that shit when it comes to you, and you know it. I only let Siren pass because she’s a chick and you need at least one outside of my sisters Regan and Pixie.”
“You’re brothers and sisters!?” I called him out.
“You heard me girl. Next, I could have told you that he wasn’t gay or bi.
The nigga wanted to take my head off when I opened the door for him when he came to see you.
As protective as I am over you. I looked in his eyes and could tell his protectiveness had another layer of reasoning.
But I appreciate you for trying to put me on. ”
There was something more important I had to ask him. “You know his last name. I take it you didn’t just guess.”
“The Stone brothers are known by many people Story. Especially in the world me and some of my families are in.”
I bit my banana and chewed it while talking, “But I asked did he sell drugs and he told me no.”
“He wasn’t lying, they don’t and I take it because you’re looking a little clueless that he hasn’t told you what him and his brothers do.”
I shook my head, “He said he would tell me eventually. Hendrix, you are my best friend. You tell me.”
“In other circumstances I would because he should have. But seeing the look in his eyes, I know he’s not about to let shit happen to you. Give him a chance to tell you on his own. If you could still love and rock with me knowing what I do, then remember that when he tells you.”
That did not make me feel much better, but what it did was make Halo run out of time. The next time we were together in private he was going to tell me the truth.

“Okay, all done. Tell me what you think.” I handed Siren the mirror so she could look at her hair close.
“Yasss! This is exactly what I wanted, and the gold hair jewelry makes it pop. Thank you!”
I took the hair cape off her and was glad she loved it.
Siren came in and wanted eight jumbo lemonade braids.
She was my second client today, the first one was a take down, wash and blow dry out.
It was Sunday and the people we saw were by appointments only on this day.
Regan, Wren, and I had appointments, so we were the ones in the shop.
“Period. I’m so happy you like them. She looks good Blake?” I turned and asked her.
Blake got up from Regan’s chair from getting her sisterlocks retightened.
“She looks better than good.” Blake answered then bent down and kissed Siren.
My homegirl told me that they weren’t official yet, but they were at least dating. Blake followed me to the front and paid for both of their styles.
“What are you two about to get into?” I asked them.
“We about to get some food then to this club Royal Oak.” Blake answered me.
“Sound fun! Be safe and Siren, I must call you tomorrow about some stuff.” I gave her this look that I knew she understood.
“Call me and I’ll come over.”
I gave her a hug and they left. Wren finished her client. She cleaned up her station then she left after. It was almost five in the evening, and I had one more client.
“I talked to Pixie today.” I let Regan know as she swept hair up around her side.
“Oh?” When she laughed I did too.
“Couldn’t wait to tell her about Halo!”
“I had to tell someone! For years everyone thought that man was gay or went both ways. Then suddenly, my sister comes here and does the impossible. You got every woman in Michigan between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five jealous!” Regan has told me that since I told her we were together.
“Everyone talks like he was a conquest. He’s a person who just didn’t date because of a terrible past.”
Regan kept sweeping when she said, “I bet. Between his parents dying like they did then him and his brother’s reputation I should have known he had a spotty past.”
“It seems everyone knows about him and his brothers except me.” I said with a little irony in my tone.
“Only way you can fix that is if you talk to him sissy.”
I rolled my eyes and started getting ready for my next client. Regan left after she cleaned up. I knew how to lock the salon after, and I liked being alone because I controlled the TV and music.
