Dallas
“All done. Looks good?” I climbed down from the latter at Lazy Daze.
Aspen and Genie stepped back to look at the new cannabis display I did.
My new neon signs finally came in that had all the names of cereal strains.
Fruit Loops, Cheerios, Reese Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and a few other brands.
It was after hours at my dispensary, and we stayed a few hours late to move the store around.
“Looks much better than over on the other wall. You did this entire wall with no help.” Genie pointed out.
“So.” I folded the latter and went to take it back in the storage room.
“Halo must not be tiring you out like he was.” Aspen taunted me while she counted the register down.
“I’d focus on why Vina isn’t here and where Golden is.” I returned the taunt.
Aspen flipped her hair and picked her phone up. “I sent Golden a nasty video of me, so I know Vina is the furthest thing from his mind.”
Me and Genie laughed at how delusional she was.
“Moving on to more realistic situations. Halo is pushing back yet again. We used to fuck at least twice a week. I would text him and he’d respond, now he’s spotty and he asked if he could come over tonight and talk to me.” I let them know.
“Dang girly, sounds like you’re about to get dumped.” Genie concurred.
“In order for her to get dumped, Halo would have to be her boyfriend.” Aspen cracked and stuck her tongue out in satisfaction.
“My my my you are dishing out some crazy shade tonight! Kiss my ass, Aspen.” I rolled my eyes at her.
“Like I was saying! I do not know what Halo wants to talk to me about. But I am not about to let him walk away from me. I finally got that trick Story out of the picture. If another girl comes into the picture. I am going to beat her ass.”
Genie and Aspen said they knew where I was coming from.
“All you gotta do is get pregnant.” Genie stated.
“I been trying. I even poke small holes in condoms. For some reason I am still not pregnant.”
“You better get checked out. Your uterus jacked up.” What Aspen said may sound like she was taking a jab at me, but her expression held concern.
“I already did that and I’m good. And before y’all say it, Halo’s sperm is good. He is hot, young, and perfect.”
“I have an idea, but it depends on how far you want to go.” Genie was stocking some shelves.
“I am willing to do anything to get pregnant by Halo.” I revealed.
“Hold on now, I might want to get in on this with Golden.”
It was funny when Aspen suddenly stopped what she was doing and paid attention.
Genie then said, “Y’all remember that my sister works sells pharmaceutical’s sales rep for a big drug manufacture company.”
“You are talking about Elicia, right?” Aspen questioned.
Genie replied with yes and she started telling us about her idea. It was a good one for me that I wanted in on.
**
Aspen was gone for the night with her best friends.
I started to go with them, but Halo texted me and asked if he could stop by.
I would cancel plans with God if Halo needed me to.
He said he had a run with his brothers then he would text me when he was on the way.
My clothes smelled like weed so I took a shower and changed.
It was nothing special, just a short pink cami dress. My curly hair was down with a middle part, and I put my pink Coach slides on. Me and Aspen went to get out feet and nails done yesterday. I got a white full-set and pedicure with rhinestones.
A knock came on my door and before I went to answer it. I picked my phone up to see if I missed a text message. There was nothing but I did not care, Halo could pop up on me anytime. I went to answer the door with a grin, but it dropped when I saw who was standing on the other side of it.
“Daddy, what are you doing here?” I looked behind him and pointed. “Better question. What is she doing here?”
“Go put some clothes on then we can talk.” He turned his head as if his eyes were burning.
I rushed to my room, grabbed my fluffy robe then went back to the front. They were inside now, standing in the living room.
“You missed the last two Thursday dinners.” Daddy stated. “Before you start lying about work or any other excuse. I talked to your uncle Cyrus.”
That was Aspen’s daddy, they were so close. Nine out of ten times my cousin has talked too much to him, and it got back to my daddy.
“Dallas, it is time for you to stop carrying this bitterness and anger. We are a family, I’m your mo---
“Stepmother. I keep telling you about that and you still insist on not respecting what I say. But you want to talk to me about family.”
We were about to start arguing when daddy stepped in between us.
“That’s enough, both of you!” He turned to me. “Arabia has been in your life since before you were born.”
I found that funny, “Of course she has been, she’s my mother’s sister.”
“I said enough!” Daddy increased his tone then he put his arm around his wife. “I understand how you can feel---
“Doubt it. Mom died when I was ten and you married her before I turned eleven. I wasn’t stupid then and I’m not stupid now.”
“Dallas, I loved my sister a lot. But her and your dad did not have a good marriage like you think. I never overstepped but when she passed away and I came around to help raise you. Feelings between your dad and I surfaced and all we did was follow our hearts. I have been understanding your feelings. But all I want is to be close to you, even if it’s as a friend. ”
“I do not need an almost forty-year-old friend.” I sarcastically said.
“Well, you do not have a choice.” Dad glared at me and replied. “Thursday, we expect to see you and your boyfriend at dinner.”
“I do not have a boyfriend!”
Dad laughed, “You do. Cyrus told me that Aspen said you and her both have been dating brothers. To know my only child is dating and hasn’t told me anything is heartbreaking.
It is time to stop acting like we do not exist. Either you and him show up Thursday or I promise you, I will cut you off and take that dispensary store from you.
” He had the nerve to give me a hug. “Love you daughter and we will see you both Thursday.”
I watched them leave and close the door behind them. As soon as they were gone, I called Aspen.
“You are such a big mouth dummy!” I screamed onto the phone when she answered.
“What!? Why?”
“Because you told Uncle Cyrus that we were dating brothers. My daddy and Arabia just left and demanded me and Halo show up for Thursday night dinner.”
“I made my dad swear not to tell, I did not think---”
I hung up on her and squeezed my phone in my hand. Aspen was not about to tell me anything that would make the situation better. My phone vibrated and it was Halo texting me, letting me know he was a few minutes away. I took my robe off, threw it in my closet, and went to get the snacks ready.
“What up.” Halo spoke when I opened the door to let him in.
I spoke back and gave him a two-arm hug. He only wrapped on arm around my waist and did not even give a squeeze. That was so cold but that is how he always hugged me. I tried to get us to elevate our relationship.
One of the ways I did was to not nag him. I knew about him hooking up with many women. Majority of them ran to social media to let it be known that a Stone brother fucked them. If he did not make any of them his girlfriend, then I would be okay with it.
“Hungry?” I asked him when he sat on the couch.
My nipples got hard when I looked at him and his posture. His legs were wide open, he had blue jeans on, a ripped t-shirt and a white bandana on his head. It looked like he had new braids in his head.
Halo kept the same style, braided to the scalp then turned into individuals. His beard was fuller and it went around his hot lips.
“Hell yeah, I got the munchies bad as shit.”
I got up and went to get his favorite chips and the wings I fried earlier. Halo sat up when he smelled the food and licked his good-looking lips. I went and got him some blue cheese dressing.
“Good lookin’.” He said then he started eating. His eyes were low, red and that was going to make his visit a good one.
I needed him in the best mood because I had to ask him about Thursday.
“Thanks for the food, shit hit the spot.” He washed his hands in the kitchen sink after he put the empty plate in the garbage.
“You’re welcome. I have to ask you something.” I said then put the blue cheese dressing back in the refrigerator.
“Before you do that, I gotta tell you what I came to talk to you about.” He dried his hands.
“Go ahead.”
“Because we been cool for a while I didn’t want to ghost you. Figured you deserved a clear convo. But we need to end this link up thing we’ve created. I have been in a blur for three years and I’m finally coming out of it. Certain shit I wanna stop and all these link ups is a start.”
His words had me cemented in the spot I was in. “How could you look at me and say I’m just a link?”
“Cause that’s what you are Dallas and you know it.
We started off as friends then I cheated on my girl with you.
We did not talk at all for a while until the kickback.
You sucked my dick and we’ve been on that type of time for a while.
” The way he leaned against the counter with the smirk and low eyes upset me.
“Why won’t you make me your girlfriend Halo. We get along, I don’t nag you and I suck you dry. Do you know how many men want a woman who looks like me. I’m the finest woman you will ever have.”
Halo arched his eyebrow up, “It ain’t all about looks Dallas. On IG alone I can find a mix woman with thin waist and round ass. The fact that that’s your argument is the reason you’ll never be my girl. I came here because of our history, don’t piss me off.” Halo had never talked to me that way.
I wanted to go off on him badly. But I kept my cool.
“I’m not trying to piss you off at all. Truthfully, I don’t want to keep doing this with you either. If we are not going to be more than we can end it. But I do want to ask you for a favor.”
“What up?”
“My dad and stepmom are making me dinner for my birthday on Thursday. I’m only asking you to come so my stepmom will get off my back about dating.
She wants to set me up with her co-worker’s awful son.
If I show up with you, they will see I am not just wasting my time working and they will lay off me. ”
I was lying through my teeth but so what? I could not show up without him, and I really did not want to. Halo was the kind of man that would make any woman look good.
“Yo’ birthday is Thursday?”
I answered yes.
“Never knew that. It’s all cool, I’ll go with you. If you get that after I still wanna cut ties.”
I held my hands up, “I know and although I’m a little sad about that. I appreciate you for doing this favor. I’m about to have a shot of Don Julio. Want one before you go?” Don Julio was his favorite.
“Yeah, I could use some of that.” Halo replied. Then he went back into the living room.
I got the Don Julio from the liquor shelf and set it on the counter. When I opened the cabinet to get the double shot glasses.
I looked at the liquid substance that Genie gave me. It was in a small brown glass bottle. I poured it in the double shot glass then filled the rest with tequila. Mine was poured next and I put everything on the tray so I could go back out to Halo.
“Here we go.” I sat the tray on the table and handed him the shot.
Halo was texting on his phone, and I nervously waited for him to down it. I drunk mine and poured another one.
He put his phone in his pocket and took the shot down his throat.
“Another?” I asked him.
He handed me the glass and I filled it up. In fifteen minutes, Halo was out cold on my couch. I assessed it by calling his name then picking up his hand and watched it fall freely.
“This never had to happen had you just made me your girlfriend.” I vented while I stood up and took my cami dress off. I was naked under it.
I straddled his lap, grabbed his face, and kissed his lips.
Never would I imagine that I would drug a man and have sex with him.
But Halo was all I wanted and one way or another I was getting him.
We had never even kissed until now. I was wet as my tongue licked his lips.
I grabbed his hands and rubbed them on my breasts.
“You’ll wake up with a little headache, but we’ll blame it on the Don Julio. I will make sure you’re fully clothed, so you won’t be the wiser. When I get pregnant, you’ll see how good we match. No bitch will compare.” I grind my hips in his lap and the friction felt good against my clit.
Then I undid his jeans and pulled his dick over them. It was soft but because he was massive, that wasn’t a bother.
“I don’t want to chance getting anything on your jeans or boxers.” I said then I pulled them down to his ankles.
Halo was dead weight, so it was a little difficult, but I was not about to stop.
Back straddled on him I grabbed his face and kissed his lips again.
A while of that I got off him and started sucking his dick.
Genie told me that he could still get hard in his sleep and she wasn’t lying.
Halo’s dick grew and I stopped when I gagged.
I did not want to risk him getting soft, so I rushed and sat on him.
“You are going to cum inside of me and get me pregnant. Our mixed baby will be gorgeous with good hair and pretty eyes. Tell me you love me Halo, say it.” I closed my eyes and envisioned that he said the words.
I bounced on him until I came but because he was out of it. I did not know if he came too.
So, I kept bouncing until I felt him turn soft. I figured that meant he ejaculated inside of me. When I got off, my answer was given. There was semen spilling out of him and down my thigh. Out of breath, I went to the bathroom to clean up and clean him up.
By the time I had him fully dressed I was tired. Aspen wasn’t coming home tonight so I let him sleep on the couch and I went into my bedroom. The hugest smile was on my face when I closed my eyes.
