"Where you going looking all good?” PJ asked while laying across my bed. She was lucky I wasn’t in the mood to curse her out about having her damn outside clothes on in my damn bed. Then, she looked like her and Zoo had just finished playing a full game of basketball the way her ass was sweating.
"Bowling and to the movies afterwards.”
"Hmm, bowling and movies sounds like a new place for Zoo and I to sneak and fuck. We got this little game that we play everywhere we go. He’s a little banged up, still, but he be one-handing this ass, Sis.”
“What game? Hide and go get it?”
“Yess, how did you know?” Shaking my head at this nut, I started moving around the room again. “Count us in, I just confirmed it with Zoo.”
“You should’ve confirmed it with me before you confirmed it with him. How you know I don’t want to be with my man alone?”
“So, we can’t go?”
“You can but shit, next time ask me before you ask him.”
“He said Brooklyn had already asked him if we wanted to make this a couples thing, sooo looks like I’m not the only one who didn’t bother by asking you.” My eyes involuntarily rolled at PJ when she said that.
“Shut up and get off my bed with those dirty-ass clothes on.”
“I have to go wash my ass anyway. See you in a few.”
“Ok, I love you.”
“I love you more, Bri-Bri.”
Since we met, it’d always been back and forth, but ‘I love you,’ came out of our mouths once that shit was over.
Brixie was my dog for real and nobody would ever come before her.
Mimi and PJ, though, we’d been through a lot and our bond wouldn’t be fucked up either.
Those are my sisters and just like I’d come running for them, they would, too, and I couldn’t love them enough for that.
Brooklyn’s arms went around my stomach and his head nuzzled its way between my neck and shoulder. “What you in here doing?” he questioned while planting kisses.
“Trying to find something to wear and thinking.”
“Thinking about cooking me some breakfast?”
“Nigga, no! I was thinking about why you invited them without asking me.”
Releasing me, he walked around and took a seat on the ottoman in front of my bed. “That’s yo’ girl so I didn’t think it was a problem. I can tell Zoo they can’t come.”
“It’s not a problem, baby, but next time just ask.
She’s my girl and just like she gets hella alone time with her man, I want that too.
This is the first time we’ve actually gone out to have fun, and I just wanted to enjoy you.
That’s all. We just got over that shit with Teddy and then I was pissed off at you, so now it’s make-up time.
Now we gotta make up and entertain them while they are with us as well. ”
“Trust me, from what Zoo said they do when they go places, they won’t even be around us long.” I laughed because PJ told me about their game.
“So, I’ve heard.” I shook my head.
“We need to start our own thing. Maybe you can start sucking my dick under the tables of the restaurants we go to. Ouch! Damn, Baby it was a joke. I wouldn’t want you on your knees under a table.”
“Good because I wouldn’t be doing all of that.”
“Right, because you gone be squatting down instead. That flo’ dirty as hell.” When I went to swing on him. He tackled me and threw me on the bed. “You know I ain’t with that shit. I’ll never take a chance on embarrassing you if you get caught.”
“Why is it just me being embarrassed and not us?”
“Because who gon’ knock a nigga getting his dick sucked under the table at a restaurant? That’s a damn dream right there. Me having to hold my nut in until I can’t, and end up exploding in your mouth, then you come back up and start eating the main course like nothing happened.”
“When did you get so damn nasty? I did not meet this Brooklyn, beforehand.”
“As long as I’m craving you, then take it all in.
I been nasty. I just don’t let everyone have access to me.
That lil’ chick was the one and only bitch I fucked with while being single.
Other than that, I don’t be out here giving my dick to the world.
Too many soul ties happen like that. I want you, I have you, I crave you, and no one else.
It’s when I'm not trying to give you this dick, when you need to start worrying.”
“Is it bad that I’m actually shocked that you said all of this. I expected you to say something way different from that.”
“Damn, tell me what you really think about me.”
“Ok, when I first met you, I thought you were about to swindle me out of my panties and never look back. Us being at this point, wasn’t the plan.
Shit, I had no plan, but I just didn’t think we would be together.
It's so cliche’ for friends to date friends.
I didn’t want you to think that just because Zoo and Sin are with Mimi and PJ that you had to be with me. ”
“For one, y’all friends dating cousins so we don’t even fit in that category you are speaking of, ma’am.”
“Brooklyn, you know what I mean. Stop playing. I just didn’t want us to be that; you know? I love the fact that we met before we even knew they knew each other.”
“It’s whatever with me. We would have met, regardless, because what’s meant to be will always be. I do feel like you are what’s meant for me. That’s why I have you saved in my phone as my person. The bond we have ain’t comparing to nun, you hear me.” He tweaked my chin, pulling a smile out of me.
“Thank you.”
“For what?”
“Teddy.” I didn’t have to say anything else. He knew exactly what I meant.
“If I’ll move a mountain, you know I’ll move Teddy for you, too. Anything that’s compromising your peace, Baby, it’s gone. Even if it’s me. It’ll neva be me, though, I can bet my life on that.”
“Yea, ok.” Laughing him off, I jumped in the shower to get ready.
“Baby, after I spank that ass, we gone come back and spank theirs next. I saw a room that say workers only that we gone slide in and slide back out.”
To hear Zoo make plans to fuck PJ at the bowling alley was beyond funny to me.
PJ would have never done no shit like that.
Not Ms. Prim and Proper. She would have had our heads if we told her that we did anything like that.
I wasn’t even disgusted by it at all; I was happy that she stepped outside of her square and started living.
“As long as we hurry up and do it because it literally smells like feet in here.”
Zoo and Brooklyn walked off to go get them a beer. PJ stood up and moved next to me. She kept looking at Zoo as if she was trying to keep an eye on him.
“You good?”
“Can you keep a secret?”
“Nah!”
PJ sucked her teeth at me.
“You already know my ass can’t hold water. What is it?”
“I think I'm pregnant.” Eyes bucked, I leaned away to face her, so that I could fully get a good look at her.
“You serious?”
“You know I don’t know for sure but I haven’t done a test yet because I’m scared as shit, but Google said I’m pregnant. Then, according to them, it’s also a possibility that I have multiple sclerosis with an overlapping disease of rheumatoid arthritis. So again, I don’t know for sure.”
“Are you excited, nervous, have you been sick? Gosh, I have so many questions. Are you ready is the main one?”
“If I am, I guess I don’t have a choice but to be because this baby.
.. if it’s a baby, will come whether I’m ready or not.
Zoo, on the other hand, is waiting on me to miss a period.
He purposely nuts inside of me and leave his dick in for another ten minutes.
He tries his best to not let any nut come back out of me. ”
“If you are, I’m happy for you,” I honestly told her. “You guys are moving on with your life and creating families, and I don’t have anyone for real.”
“You got me.” Hearing Brooklyn’s voice had both of us jumping. “And I got a clan of family, so as long as I’m in your life, you’ll never be alone.”
“What y’all talking about, anyway?” Zoo asked as he took a seat next to PJ.
“Nothing, Baby. Everything is good. You ready?” Zoo eyed her before standing back to his feet. She tried to smooth things over by giving him a kiss and judging by the grin on his face, it worked.
Once they walked away, Brooklyn was now looking at me out the corner of his eye. “What were y’all talking about?”
“She said nothing, so it was nothing, Babe. Come sit down. You want me to get you some pizza and wings?”
“Stop lying, Bronx. Yo’ ass deflecting like a muthafucka right now. She about to break up with my cousin or something?”
“You are determined to get in their business, huh?” I teased and squeezed his cheeks even though he hated when I did that. He said it made him feel like a little kid when he’s a grown-ass man.
“Hell yea, I wanna know what’s up.”
“She thinks she’s pregnant,” I blurted out before I knew it.
“Please don’t say anything. I told her I couldn’t keep a secret at all, plus you kept poking me until I told you, so yea, this is all on you.
I’m going to get pizza and wings.” I didn’t want him to ask me anymore questions, so I found any reason to get away from him right now.
After waiting damn near thirty minutes for the food, I went back to Brooklyn. I was starting to get impatient as hell because we were waiting on them and they were taking forever.
“Do you want to just eat and start playing?”
“Hell yea, and when we done, we done. Whatever they are doing, they gone have to speed that shit up once we finish. I’m trying to get back to the house and snuggle up with my baby. I knew I should have drove my own—”
“SECURITY TO THE BACK! SECURITY TO THE BACK!”
My eyes widened at the commotion that was coming from the back room. “Briiii, let’s gooooo!” PJ and Zoo ran from the back full speed while yelling out to us. I looked back at Brooklyn and that nigga was already gone.
“Baby, come on!” Brooklyn shouted for me on his way out of the door.
“The fuck y’all running for?!” I grabbed that high ass pizza and wings and hauled ass out the door too.
