She is the one that would have your back through thick and through thin. She is the one that encourages you to strive for better. She is the one that holds you tight and tells you that things will be alright, when times are bad. She is the one that knows what you’re thinking without the words being spoken. Those qualities are what a “Wifey” represents. 5 6 US 7 Hey honey, I’m home. Hey Malicia How was your day? It was ok Dominique. I missed you. How come you didn’t come and have lunch with me? I know Malicia but I had to clean and cook dinner for you. Plus I had to finish this project for work. Ok. Dominique I will forgive you this time. What did you cook? I am starving. I made your favorite Shrimp scampi, pasta and salad. See that’s why I love my baby. She’s smart and she can cook her ass off. How did your project go? It went well I got if off by messenger and it got there by four. My boss called and said it was the best thing that he ever saw. We should get that account hands down. I smacked my baby high five. You take such good care of me. I love you. I love you to Malicia. I’m about to go take a shower and come out and eat. Do you feel like watching a movie? I sure do but I’m picking this time. If I watch another kung-fu movie I’m gonna knock you out. Ok Dominique, you can pick it out. I’m getting in the shower I ran past her and smacked her on the butt. 8 Dominique and I have been together since 2001 and in 2005 it still feels like yesterday that we met. It was July and my birthday was right around the corner. I am not big on the whole club scene because most of my friends are straight. And I am definitely not into that club scene. But this year my friends decided to take me to a Gay club. Not just any gay club but the new one that had just opened up on 7th Ave. It was rumored that to get in it was fifty dollars and the drinks went from fifteen dollars and up. They also had a food bar where you could order any kind of exotic foods from Jamaican to Italian. I also heard that there was a swimming pool in the basement. The club had six floors. On each floor there were different kinds of music being played. The first floor where you entered from was decked out in an Indian style. In one corner there was a huge statue of Kali the Indian Goddess of Death. Why here I don’t know, but oh well. There were 7 Doors all leading to different areas of food. Over each door there was a menu of what they served. To the right was one of those warehouse elevators that lead to each floor. Next to the buttons was the type of music each floor played. Sabreana Looked at me and said I know what floor you want to go to. Oh you mean I get to choose? Yeah old lady you get to choose. She laughed. I pressed the button to the reggae room. I was so happy to see that a gay club had a reggae floor. I planned to stay on that floor all night. We got to the floor and I could not hear anything. I guess this floor must be dead. That is until Sabreana opened the doors. We were knocked back from the bass coming through the speakers. I was ecstatic. They were playing “Love Sponge” by Buju. One of my favorite songs. Jalisa was the first to step off since the rest of us were still dizzy. 9 You heifers need to stop standing there looking stupid and get out. Jalisa said Let the party begin said Brianna as she stepped out. Jalisa was always the craziest out of the group. She is 5’5, brown skin, thick in all the right places. Long curly hair that she wore in a doobie wrap. This because she needed to hid the scar on her cheek that her stupid man gave her because he thought that she was cheating. Sabreana was 5’11, cocoa skin, with huge doe brown eyes. She was my best friend. She was the one I trusted my life with. There were many of days in high school where she had my back. When I first came out the kids were giving me a hard time. But out of nowhere Sabreana appeared, just as I was about to get jumped. I knew who she was but I never got close to my homeboy’s girls, she dated Ray. And even though we were never close she came to my rescue. She told Rochelle that she was not about to jump me. If she wanted to fight me she would do it straight up. Sabreana watched my back throughout the whole fight. And ever since then she has been my closest friend. But enough about the past let’s get back to the future. Next off the elevator was Brianna. Now she was the slut of the group. Let me stop calling her that. But really I can’t help it. See we know her but to someone that doesn’t that is what they call her. Brianna has never turned down dick or pussy for that matter; she has always been honest about it and what she does. Brianna has never had a boyfriend either. Brianna has always been too busy screwing to commit to anyone. There was a time in high school when she could have been my girl but she liked men to much for me. She is beautiful, 5’6, dark auburn skin, big brown eyes, and straight white teeth. She always wears her hair in a nice tapered short style, and she weights about a one hundred and fifty pounds, with a forty four dd bra size. Brianna was the baby of nine kids and even though she had 10 everything that she needed from her parents. She spent most of her time at my house. I understood why being from a big family myself. It was always quiet at my house. Something it wasn’t at hers. We have been messing around since our sophomore year in high school. It is now fifteen years later and we are still doing the do. I was jolted back into reality when I saw the most beautiful gi rl in the world. Up unto now I was not looking for wifey. What I had with Brianna was doing me just fine. But I vowed this girl would be wifey. She had deep coffee skin, hazel eyes, 5’7, one hundred forty pounds, and had the prettiest long curly hair I have ever seen. She must have sensed me looking because she motioned for me to come to her with her eyes. I slowly walked over to her. As I got closer I realized that she was more stunning then what I thought. I ordered a drink and turned to her and asked if she would like one. She whispered in my ear with her breath smelling like peppermint. Malibu and pineapple juice please. I retrieved her drink and handed it to her. As soon as our hands touched I knew she was the one for me. I introduced myself and asked what her name was. Dominique she said as she shook my hand. Well Dominique do you want to go some place a little quieter so we can talk? Sure why not. We went downstairs and decided to eat some Jamaican food. We talked for what seemed like minutes but in actuality it was hours. Our conversation was brought to a halt when Brianna interrupted us. 11 Umm excuse me but we have been looking for you. We are here to celebrate your birthday and you are nowhere to be found. Sorry girls, but I have been busy. But any way this is Dominique. Dominique this is Jalisa, Sabreana, and the one with the big mouth is Brianna. Hey Dominique how are you? They all said in unison. Hello ladies, how are you. I apologize for taking your girl away on her birthday. And by the way Happy Birthday to you! Why didn’t you tell me? It sort of slipped my mind. I’m sorry. How old are you may I ask? Twenty-five and you are? I am twenty –five, she replied. Oh no, not at all. Actually by your conversation I thought that you were older than me. I’m glad cause I really want to get to know you better. We exchanged numbers and promised to keep in touch. Then the four of us left for the evening. As usual Brianna was hungry and wanted White Castle. Why didn’t she eat at the club? But so be it. We still had a long ride home. We laughed and joked with Brianna. She was teasing me about Dominique, asking me how someone that fine could be that interested in me. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not bad looking. I’m 5’10 sepia skin with shoulder length hair that I usually wear in braids. I’m what you would call in our world a femme-aggressive. Kind of soft, a tomboy, depending on my mood. Brianna started 12 really getting personal with her jokes about me. I guess she was feeling a little green. But I never promised her anything nor did I ask her for anything. Except to spread her legs and let me eat that from time to time. But she was really getting carried away. I mean no one knew what was going on between us but her brainless ass was about to give it away. Yo! Brianna. What’s up? You acting like Dominique stole Malicia from you. You are acting a tad bit envious right about now. Sabreana said. Nah, Sabreana I’m just bothering Malicia like she bothers me. That’s all. Besides I don’t even swing that way on a reg and Malicia don’t want me anyway. Mental Note: I really need to dead this thing with Brianna ASAP, before she gives us away. We finally got to Hempstead and headed for the White Castle. When we got there we all got out of the truck and stretched before heading inside. As usual there was a line. I’m about to head to the restroom can you order my food please Malicia. Brianna asked. Yeah ok. I will never understand why this place is the hang out after the club. A few seconds had passed by and my phone began to ring. I was wondering who could be calling me from a blocked number. Hello? Hey it’s me Brianna. Why are you calling me from a blocked number? I didn’t want anyone to know it was me calling. I know you have a ring for each of us. Yeah, you’re right about that. 13 Are they in your mouth? Yeah kind of. Ok I will make this quick. I want to be with you tonight. Before you leave me for this girl. Are you kidding? After what you pulled. Malicia please. I’m sorry. I was jealous. You looked at her like you used to look at me. So you act juvenile. What did you think that it would make me come back to you? Yo, Malicia tone it down. You are creating a scene. Sabreana said. Yo, I’m sorry it’s my ex. Well back to you. If I say yes I hope you are ready cause I’m going to fuck the hell out of you just because you opened your mouth. I’m ready Malicia. Good you better get set some coffee because you are going to need it. I will you just make sure you live up to your word. 14 Brianna 15 For as far back as I can remember Brianna was always the wild one. When I first started high school she was in my math class. She was loud, rude, and obnoxious. I was really not feeling her. I guess she must have sensed it because right after class she started with me. Excuse me miss but why did you look at me like that. Cause you are loud and a clown, if you ask me, whatever your name is. 16 It’s Brianna and I know yours is Malicia. Such a pretty name for a pretty girl. Thanks. So Malicia what are you doing after school? Nothing just going home to chill. What are you doing nosey? Going home with you. Oh really? What makes you think that I want you to come to my house? Cause I know that you are attracted to me the same way that I am to you. Who said I was attracted to you? I see it in your eyes Malicia, and I know you swing that way. Who told you that Brianna? It was true but I could not let her know that I did. It’s ok Malicia I am that way and I will not tell if you won’t. Oh I won’t tell if you won’t Brianna. Bet it’s a deal. Meet me by the gym doors after the 8th period. From that day on Brianna and I did our thing. She also did her thing with others. Which is why she could never be my girl? Hey Todd what’s up for tonight? 17 You Brianna. That’s what’s up. So what do you have planned for us? You know a nice quiet evening just us. Oh Todd that’s sounds so nice but I forgot I have plans. Can we make it for another night? For you Brianna I can wait. I was standing there by the gym doors talking to my sister and waiting for Brianna to come on so we could be out. I saw her strolling up with some tall light skinned guy on her arm. Now I know she told me she was gay. Oh what the hell. My sister said hello and then went off with some of her friends. Brianna introduced me the guy. We exchanged hellos while he stared me up and down. I know he was wondering what was up with me. I was dressed in a pair of baggy jeans, a white tee, and all white uptowns. I looked like a straight up dude today. But he smiled and let it ride. Well Malicia you ready to go? Yeah I’m ready. Ok where do you live? Oh now you worried about it. I know I didn’t ask before but I’m asking now. Well Brianna I live in Brooklyn. 18 Are you kidding me? Yes my man lives in Brooklyn and I usually spend the weekends with him out there. But I have a house on J Street. Oh ok I was wondering how we were going to get to Brooklyn. In my car of course. I pointed to the silver Mercedes and unlocked the door and started it up. Dang girl you rolling like that. Not really this is my man’s car, but he lets me use it whenever I want. He hates for me to be out here without a car. Shit Malicia you have a good man. Does he know that you are gay? Yes he does but we don’t have sex anyway. I am a trophy piece. So our relationship works out for both of us. So Brianna what’s your story? I take it your bisexual. Yeah I am. I guess you could say that I am a bit greedy. That’s fine with me just warn me when you sleep with a man. Will do Malicia. Hey I’m famished what about you? Sure what do you feel like eating? How about some Jack Daniels steak and shrimp? Sounds great to me. We got to Fridays and as usual it was packed. We were seated at the table. May I have a Pina colada. What do you want Brianna? 19 I’ll have a strawberry daiquiri. How are we able to order drinks and be seated so fast? Cause I own the place Brianna. Well actually my man does but it’s in my name. Damn girl your man has it like that? Yeah he does, like I said I’m his trophy piece. You don’t seem happy about it. I’m not; I mean the monies good and all of the nice things he gives me. But I really yearn for the day that I can dress like this and have my wifey on my arm. You know no more hiding. So you really are gay huh? Oh hell yeah and always will be! After we ate and all of the food was gone and all three of my drinks were empty. I decided it was time to go. Miss Smith? Would you like me to call you a cab? No John I’m fine. You know that if something happened to you Mr. Diangelo would be angry with me. Don’t worry John I will be fine and he will know that you tried to put me in a cab. If you’re sure you are ok Ms. Smith. I bid you a lovely evening. You to John. And call me later and let me know the numbers. 20 We rode back to my house in silence as Brianna felt on my leg. When we got to a light I reached over and gave her a kiss that could have melted an iceberg. Damn Malicia can we hurry up to your place. That kiss has got me on fire. Well I do aim to please and there will be plenty of time for all of that. I plan on making you my love slave for the whole evening. We pulled up in front of my house and her jaw dropped. I always wondered who lived in this house. It is so beautiful. Well now you know. It’s nice but too much for me. You live here alone? Yes, the housekeeper leaves at five. Are you sure you want to leave your man Malicia? I’m not going to leave him. We will be living our separate lives, but I will always be there when he needs me. I walked in and called for Marisol. I could smell her cooking as soon as we walked in so I knew she hadn’t had left for the day. Hello Ms. Smith. How was your day? It was fine Marisol. This is Brianna Hello Ms.Brianna nice to meet you. Hey Marisol, how are you? Nice meeting you also. 21 What are you cooking Marisol? It smells great! I’m making Paella. Marisol you know you don’t have to cook for me. I can cook and please stop calling me Ms. Smith. It’s Malicia. I’m sorry Malicia. No problem. If you are going to work here you are going to stop treating me as if I am your employer. I am your friend. And please stop cooking for me. You can leave me something to clean and wash sometimes also. I do get bored. But that is what I was hired to do. Well if you don’t tell that you’re not doing your job. Then I won’t tell either. Is it a deal? So what am I supposed to do all day? Marisol please don’t you have four kids at home? Yes I do. Well then consider this your vacation home. Sit here put your feet up and relax. Go into one of the bedrooms and take a nap. Ok Malicia if you say so. I will do nothing all day if that will make you happy. It will Marisol. Just clean up after yourself. I laughed. Thank you Malicia you are so sweet. Are you ready to eat? 22 See there you go again. I didn’t say that I was getting it for you. You can get it for yourself. Marisol laughed. Now see your getting the hang of it. We all laughed. We all sat in the den and got to know each other better. She left for the evening. It was time for the main event to take place. I sat on the couch while Brianna took a tour of my house. When she came back downstairs she asked me what bedroom was mine. The black and purple one. She went back up the stairs and a few minutes later she emerged wearing my robe. Where is your liquor cabinet? She asked standing before me in my robe. It’s over there under the window. I said getting up and smacking her on her ass. Help yourself I will be right back. When I came out the bathroom, she was laying across my bed naked. That’s the way I like my women. I crawled over to her and pushed her backwards. I began to kiss her as I lay gently upon her. I slid my hand between her legs and exclaimed. Damn girl I’m just kissing you and you are this wet. I have been this wet since I saw you in class. Well let me show you that I am more than looks. I began kissing her on the neck slowing kissing a trail down between her breasts. Making sure to blow air on the wet spots to make her body shiver. I grabbed one of her nipples in my mouth and I thought that she was going to wake my neighbors. She screamed out in ecstasy and it 23 sounded so sweet to my ears. I inserted my finger into her pussy. By then I had realized that her nipples were a weak spot for her. I continued to suck and lick on them until she released all over my finger. When I thought that she was ready for the next step I inched my way down. Kissing her stomach making sure I did not miss a spot. When I reached the spot that I wanted, I gently parted her legs. Slid down on my belly and positioned myself just right. I was going to give her the best tongue bath that she would ever have. I took my tongue and fingers spread her lips apart so that her clit was exposed. Taking her clit into my mouth I sucked on it with enough force to make her feel like she was in heaven. She began to arch her back and grind her hips letting me know that it was feeling so right. It was time to take her to the next level. I proceeded to pick up the pace sucking on her clit and licking around her pussy. Baby damn this feels so go. Please don’t stop! She grabbed the back of my neck damn near choking me as she forced my face deeper into her pussy. She began to grind her hips faster and faster. I knew that she was ready to climax all in my mouth. She began screaming and moaning louder as her body began to tense. I whispered to her to let it out. Oh baby! Baby, baby, baby, oh my God! I’m Cumming! I’m Cumming! Don’t stop, Please Don’t stop! She arched her back and squirted all over my face and in my mouth. She convulsed and shook for what seemed like hours. Come here baby. She reached down and grabbed my face. Lifting me up. She began kissing me and I came all over her pubic area. I released her grip on me and kissed her on her forehead. I will be right back. I disappeared into the closet to retrieve my ten inch strap. I slipped it on walked out and asked are you ready for round two? 24 Brianna lifted her finger motioning for me to come to her. I reached into the draw to grab a kiss of mint condom, slipped it on and told her to suck it. Gladly, come closer. I was becoming weak with every thrust into her mouth. She was working it so good that the friction from the strap was making my clit hard. I had to sit down before I fell down. Before I was about to climax I flipped her over and inserted the head of my strap into her. Fucking her with so much force that she screamed and moaned. Yes Daddy fuck me! Fuck me daddy! Harder, Harder! Hush Brianna before you wake my neighbors. I can’t you are so good. I never want this to stop. Where did you learn to work it like that? I just got it like that. Now get up on your knees so I can hit it from the back. Gladly anything for you. Tear this pussy up. I pounded that pussy out until she screamed and collapsed on the bed shaking and convulsing. She looked like she was having a seizure. And it was turning me on. We laid there for hours. Are you hungry? She asked. Not really. I don’t eat much. What we ate will last me until the morning. 25 Well I’m hungry. I’m about to eat what Marisol cooked. Are you sure you don’t want anything? No I’ll just have some juice. But thanks enjoy. I looked at the clock and realized that it was one in the morning. Um Brianna don’t you have to get home? No my parents don’t mind if I stay out. Besides I live 2 blocks from here. So from that day on you can say that I had a permanent roommate and a fuck partner. We became thick as thieves. 26 HIGH SCHOOL 27 High school was not for me. I was always a good student but it was hard for me to adjust to hiding my sexuality. Guys were always hitting on me because I drove a Mercedes and always rocked the hottest gear. The girls hated me because of it. The only thing that saved me was the fact that I could ball. I was one of the starters on the Varsity Basketball team. I had a lot of male friends because of this and most of them were on the Varsity team also. The girls in the school would always try to befriend me so that they could hook them up. I saw straight through them and dismissed them. My boys wouldn’t be my boys for long if I hook them up with these gold diggers. So this made it harder for me. These trifling heifers would get mad and want to jump me. Why I guess they thought that I was fucking them. Which was definitely not the truth? They just didn’t know I would have fucked half of them if they weren’t gold digging skanks. Todd and I were sitting at the table in the cafeteria talking about the school party. What are you going to wear? I was thinking about this baby blue sweat suit I picked up. What do you plan on wearing? I haven’t figured it out yet. But whatever it is it’s gonna be hot. This was the same Todd that was looking me up and down the day Brianna introduced us. Come to find out he was one of the new starting centers on the boy’s b-ball team. Todd told me that he thought that I was gay when he first met me and he thought that I 28 was trying to steal Brianna away. Since now he knows or thinks he knows that it was a basketball thing was the reason why I dressed the way I do. We became good friends. It also helped that Alanzo came to pick me up when my car was in the shop. Alanzo was sitting outside of the gym doors in his Lamborghini waiting for me to come out. Brianna was standing there trying to run interference from all of the gold diggers swarming around him. When I stepped out the door I cleared my throat and he came running up to me and gave me a big hug. He took my book bag and threw it in the backseat. All of the females looked at me like they despised me. Between that and the DandG pantsuit that showed off all of my curves. Which no one knew I had but the girls on the team. They really wanted to get at me. Alanzo opened my door and Brianna climber in the back and I got in. He reached over and fastened my seat belt. I looked up and Gina was staring at me with malice in her eyes. I knew that I would have problems with her since I dissed her by not hooking her up with David. It’s not like I didn’t try. Gina was always cool with me; she sat two rows behind me in history class. So when she asked me to hook her up with David I did. Little did I know that she was a ho. David agreed to seeing her and after about 2 months of dating her dumped her. He got the draws and boned out. Even though it was her fault she chooses to blame me to ease her conscience. David was a Full Back for the Football team with a full scholarship to Notre Dame. I guess Gina saw dollar signs and used me by befriending me to get to him. I just didn’t see it since it took over six months to ask me. Due to that she vowed to get back at me. I guess by seeing me with Alanzo on my arm it just made it worse. Well ladies where to? Asked Alanzo, as he slid his 6’7 frame into the car. I need to go shopping for the party next week. 29 I have nothing to do so I guess wherever she goes I go. Brianna said. Malicia what time will your car be ready? He said he will drop it off in the morning. Malicia that is the fourth time it’s been in for brakes. I don’t feel safe with you riding in that car anymore. It will be fine. I really don’t go anyplace as it is. So it is just fine. I know Malicia but I would feel better if you had a new car. Alanzo don’t you dare! That car is only a year old. Give him a chance he will find out what the problem is and fix it. We argued about it all the way to Park Avenue in Manhattan. Alanzo dropped us off and said that he would return in 4 hours to get us. Will five thousand do for your shopping? I guess that will be enough. And kissed him on the check. We walked past the Guess store and Brianna saw a jean set that would look first-rate on me. I found my size and went to try it on. When I came out she was standing there talking to the sales girls. When they looked up and saw me standing there their mouths dropped. Wow Malicia you look incredible. I looked in the mirror and I had to give it to Brianna she was a genius. I took it off and told the girl to ring it up along with the matching sneakers. I picked out a couple of more outfits that Brianna said would look good on me. Umm Brianna aren’t you going to get anything? 30 I don’t have any money. I didn’t ask you that. Now pick out some outfits and some shoes so we can go. I can’t I said I have no money. I can’t let you pay for my stuff. If you don’t start picking out something to wear, I swear I will leave you in this store and you will have to get home the best way that you know how to. Ok! Ok I am picking. You don’t have to be so mean about it. She laughed. She picked out the matching skirt sets to my outfits and the shoe and the sales person rang it all up. We walked to Prada and tried on some more matching outfits and shoes. We also purchased some shades to go with it. I called Alanzo to see if he was finished. Hey Babe I’m still taking care of my business. I’m going to be a while. Ok well we are hungry. I will call you and let you know where to pick us up from. Ok babe. Talk to you then. I love you. Love you to, bye bye. Well Brianna what do you feel like eating? I have no idea. What do you feel like? 31 How are you going to answer a question with a question? Like I just did. What you didn’t hear me. Yeah I heard you. I’m gonna smack you. We looked around and I spotted Ruth Chris Steakhouse. We walked over there and checked our bags in. The hostesses walked us to our table, and let us know that our waiter would be right over. We saw him looking at our table and saying something to the other waiter. They both smiled but he was not coming over. Five minutes had passed and I was getting pissed. Ten minutes passed and he was still standing in the same place. By this time I was heated. I was getting madder by the second. Malicia calm down. Warned Brianna. You are turning red. Twenty minutes passed and he had tended to every other table around us. But he still had not tended to us. He turned his nose up at us and walked in the other direction. I called the hostess over and explained what was going on. Ma’am please let me get the manager for you. A few seconds later the Manager came over and asked what seems to be the problem? We have been here for half an hour. Our waiter has walked past us half a dozen times and has not taken our order or introduced himself to us. Before he could utter a word I pulled out the two grand in my pocketbook and asked. Is my money not good enough here? I opened my wallet and let it unfold and said or is any of my cards not good? Which one is not good? Or is it the Black card? Or maybe it’s the platinum card? Please tell me which one is not good. Or should I just take my money elsewhere. 32 Ma’am I am very sorry for your trouble and I assure you this not our policy. And I will not condone any of this behavior. I apologize and please the meal is on us. No thank you I will pay for my meal. He took our order, quickly put it in and made a b line to the waiter. You may excuse yourself from my restaurant. You are fired! We both smiled and waved as he was leaving. He flipped me the bird and we both laughed. Hello? Hey honey where are you? I know sweetheart but it took me longer then I thought. Where are you? At Ruth’s. Ok I will be right there. He walked in and found our table. I told him about what happened and he called for the Manager again. The manager came over to our table and Alanzo thanked him for his actions. He also gave him a hefty thousand dollar tip. Sir I cannot accept this. Yes you can. I truly want o thank you. Every where my wife goes she has these problems. Please Charlie take it. He will not accept no for your answer. He finally took the tip and wrapped our food up. 33 Oh I am sorry readers. Alanzo is 6’7, 280 pounds, long black hair that he wears in a ponytail. Oh did I forget to mention that he is Italian. So now I hope you understand where the money comes from. His family is rich and he lives in Dix Hills. For those of you that don’t know where that is. It is an affluent community in Suffolk county New York. Alanzo also owns several nightclubs and restaurants. Well back to the story. Are you two ladies ready to go yet? Wait Alanzo don’t you think that Charlie would be a wonderful addition to one of your restaurants? Your right Malicia. Excuse me Charlie? Malicia and I were thinking would you like to come and work for us? We will pay much more then they pay you here. By the way what do you get paid here? I make about sixty-five thousand here, plus benefits. I will pay you one hundred thousand and also pay for your benefits. How does that sound? That sounds great! They shook on the deal, exchanged numbers and we left for the evening. Brianna looked at me, and asked. Can I work for you? Of course you can work at one of my nightclubs. As we walked Alanzo asked me to reach in his pocket and retrieve the keys. I took the keys out and said these are not your keys. 34 Malicia Before you catch an attitude cause I know you are. Just go to the corner and look around it. I always knew that Alanzo had whores. I wasn’t giving it up so I knew that he was getting it from somewhere. All I was asked was for him to not flaunt it in front of my face. I was not paying attention to where we were walking since I was heated. Brianna noticed it first and put her arm up to stop me from walking when she spotted it. A brand new Mercedes SLK with a purple bow on it. Purple is my favorite color. Oh Alanzo I love it! I knew you would I saw you looking at it in the magazine. Thank you honey but what about my old car? I called Dennis and told him to drop of the stuff in it. He can have the car. Now can we please put some of these heavy ass bags in the trunk? We all laughed and got in. I drove him to get his car and we headed out different ways. It was Friday and everything was going good. I had thirty six points and twelve assist. Brianna was making bucks working for me at noir. She was bringing in a lot of clientele. She had asked me to go car shopping with her in the morning. The dance was tonight and we were about to be out to go get our hair done. Then Gina stepped in my path. I don’t have time for this today. Whatever Malicia! You think your hot shit cause you wear nice clothes and you have a nice car. But none of that will matter when I finish whopping your ass. 35 Gina I am warning you now get out of my face. She wasn’t listening so I helped her out of my way. Brianna come on I don’t have time for these kiddy games. I guess Brianna saw something I didn’t see cause she stood there frozen. A few seconds later I heard a scream, a punch, and then a loud thud. I can’t believe that hoe actually tried to snuff me when my back was turned. Brianna stayed behind her knowing what she was gonna do and laid her ass out. I walked over to Gina and picked her up by her collar and slammed her into the locker. I told you once before that I have eyes and ears everywhere. Try that one more time and I will ghost you. Do you understand me? I slammed her to the ground and we stepped over her and walked out of the door. This is not over bitch! She yelled. Ok whatever Gina pick yourself up. We both laughed. We headed over to the beauty salon. I asked Cindy t o give me one of the hottest braid styles she could think of. While Brianna got freeze curls. After we were done we went to the Jamaican Spot to get some food. We headed back to my spot. Brianna I want to thank you for having my back with that bitch. It’s cool you know I have your back. Marisol was still there doing laundry. I handed her a thousand dollars her pay for the week and she pulled me to the side. Umm Malicia? I was putting away your clothes and I found the strangest thing in your closet. I already knew what she was talking about cause I forgot to put it back last night. Well Marisol I have to tell you that I am gay. So am I Malicia. 36 Don’t worry I won’t tell Mr. Alanzo. Don’t worry Marisol he knows. You know Malicia I was hoping that you were that way. I have been attracted to you since the day I started here. Hey Brianna! Come here! No Malicia! Please don’t tell her. Don’t worry she is my lover. So here I was five hours later and I was fucking my house keeper and my lover. How bizarre is that? 37 THE DANCE, THE FIGHT, AND SABREANA We arrived at the dance at eleven thirty. I was exhausted from the five hour fuck session we had. But when we arrived and I heard the 38 music I somehow felt alive. Brianna took Todd and I of course took Alanzo. Alanzo and I stepped out of my new SLK and he let Brianna borrow the Porsche 944. We all walked in looking good. All eyes were on us. Especially Gina’s with her nicely covered up black eye. Brianna and I laughed at her and continued to walk over to where the teams were standing. Todd and Alanzo stayed with the guys and we walked over to where there girlfriends were. Damn Sabreana that outfit is off the chain! Thanks Malicia yours is hot also. And your hair is like wow! Who did it? My girl Cindy. You should have told me I would have done it for you. I didn’t know you did hair. Yeah here and there. Ok so next time I know. Sabreana and I never really talked before today. Just a quick hello and goodbye. But she was one of my best friend’s girls so I respected her. He was one of the few people that knew about my sexuality. And he always kept my secret. She always thought that Ray and I were fooling around until I sat her down one day and told her what’s up. After that we were civil but not what you would call friends. Our conversation was cut short when Gina walked over and rudely interrupted us. Sabreana would you like to go to the bathroom with us? Sure Gina Malicia I’ll be right back. 39 Cool Sabreana. I rolled my eyes at Gina and I guess Sabreana caught a glimpse of me doing that. Naw Gina I’m gonna chill with Malicia. But I will catch up with you later. Fine! Gina said and stormed off. Yo, Malicia what was that about? She’s just made cause I hooked her up with David and her gold digging ways made her lose him. So she thinks I had something to do about it. Oh I got you. But you know what? She has been asking me the same thing. Yeah Sabreana that’s her game. Use us to get to the guys. I see now she has been bugging me to get her and David back together again. She doesn’t see David she sees dollar signs. I see that now. Trifling ass heifer. The rest of the night went pretty smoothly. We left and went to the all night diner. We ate and joke about Gina’s black eye. Well Me I’m going to head home. Ok Alanzo call me after your meeting. I will sweetheart. Get home safely. I will call you when I get home. Love you Alanzo. 40 Love you to Malicia. Night guys. Nice meeting you Todd hope to see you again. Oh how sweet. Brianna and Todd laughed at us. I threw some bread at them and said lets go. Todd decided to stay over my house with Brianna which meant that I would be alone. I went upstairs to call Alanzo knowing that he was over Denise’s house. But what could I say. After all we were a couple but not in that sense. Hey Alanzo im home. Ok Malicia you have a good night. You to Alanzo, I said and hung up. To all that knew us we seemed like the perfect couple. But we knew better. I was the girl he could bring home to momma. I was getting tired of being that, tired of hiding. That night I vowed I would no longer hid. Monday came around and I woke up with a new outlook on life. I went to the village on Sunday and did a little shopping. I brought a gay flag for my window. A rainbow strip for my car. A tassel for my windshield. And some rainbow jewelry. I took a shower and pulled out my jeans and the tee I brought that said “Gay and Loving it”, and put that on. I walked downstairs and Brianna looked at me. Are you sure you want to do this? She asked. I am tired of hiding. Ok Malicia I’m behind you and so is my fist. 41 We hate breakfast and then left for school. When we pulled up all eyes were on my car. Then I got out and all eyes seemed to shift to me at once. I walked over to where the guys were standing and Ray was yelling pay up fellas. I said hold up, hold up, now you know that would not be right since you was the first to know about me. Oh word Ray! David yelled. I kind of suspected but I didn’t want to ask. Well now all of you know. I laughed The bell for first period rang and we all headed for the gym. I will never understand why we had Phys Ed for our first class. I guess it might have something to do with the fact that none of the team members made it to homeroom; still damn I just took a shower and now I had to take another one. Gina was standing outside of the gym door waiting for David. We all spotted her and laughed including David. Her mouth flew open when she saw me. I knew you were a dike bitch the first time I saw you. She said to her friend Rochelle. See I told you she was a carpet muncher. No girl would dress like that if she wasn’t. I was about to say something when. Yo, Malicia hold up I got this. Hey Gina was you waiting on me. Why yes David I am. Why so you can suck my dick and I can cum all over your face again. Or maybe you’re waiting to eat Malicia’s pussy. Or do you want to do us both slut. 42 Don’t put my pussy in this David I don’t want that skank touching me. I laughed. We all fell out laughing as she ran away crying. We were still laughing as we walked to our side of the building. Damn Malicia you are cruel. Said Brianna. No I’m not that was David he started it. You know she gonna try to jump you. Yeah I know. But I know u have my back. I sure do Malicia, let’s get to class. Brianna and I went from class to class and did not see Gina or any of her friends. I guess she went home after yall clowned her so hard. That’s what she gets for trying to jump bad. When we walked into math class Sabreana walked up to me and gave me a huge hug. She apologized for what she thought about me. She also smacked me on the arm for not telling her. Mr. G came in and told us to take our seats. It was eighth period and it was time to go. I told Brianna I would meet her by the gym doors since she was talking to Todd. When I got down to the gym I heard someone say, “Here comes that bitch now.” When I looked up I saw Gina and some of her ugly ass friends standing there. I knew we were gonna bump heads but not now none of my girls were with me. Where is your entourage now bitch? 43 Gina step out of my face before you get hurt. By who? You thought that you was pretty funny earlier didn’t you. Well not only did I think I was funny everyone else thought it to. Even your friends. You little carpet munching dyke! She swung. I swung back and hit her in the stomach and the mouth. She feel. I laughed and said well big mouth get your ass up! I saw Rochelle coming towards me out of the corner of my eye. Just as she was about to swing on me. Sabreana grabbed her arm. There will be none of that. Gina popped all that shit and now she has to pay the piper. There will be no jumping in by anyone said Brianna. I did not see her walk up. If anyone tried to jump in I promise that you will wish you were dead when I’m done with you. Sabreana said. No one would dare cross her after that beat down she gave to that man in the store after he grabbed her butt. With the crowd under control. Gina got back to her feet. I put my bag down and waved to her to come to me. She tried to swing on me again, this time I kicked her in her pussy and when she dropped I kneed her in the face. The fight was over but not for me. I grabbed her by her hair and said since you are down there why don’t you eat my pussy. Now Gina be a good girl and unbutton my pants for me. She did just that. She pulled my pants down to my knees exposing my boxers and proceeded to open the flap to get to my clit. The crowd was saying damn Malicia is pimping that bitch and laughing at her. When Gina 44 went to stick her tongue on my clit I kneed her in the throat and pulled my pants back up. How dare you try to put your nasty herpes infested lips on me, I stomped on her and said lets go Sabreana and Brianna lets be out. As I walked through the crowd everyone was patting me on the back and telling me good show, you really pimped that bitch. I stopped suddenly and looked around for Rochelle. You Sabreana and Brianna hold up a sec. I walked over to her and punched her in the jaw and stomped her out. If you ever try to roll up on me again like that I will snuff your life out. I turned around and nonchalantly walked away. We got in my Mercedes and rolled out laughing all the way back to my house. I stopped and gout out walked around the car and hugged Sabreana. Thanks Girl for having my back. No problem G you know you’re my girl! That day started a bond between me and her that has lasted for 15 years. And I don’t foresee our friendship ever ending. 45 Jalisa’s drama Hey Sabreana there is still no answer at Jalisa’s house. She’s probably out shopping. You know how Ms Beauty queen is. Yeah but she isn’t even answering her cell phone or pager. Ok that is strange I wonder what’s wrong. 46 She never goes anywhere without those especially since she has to check every five minutes with that asshole of a man she has. Relax Malicia she is most likely with him getting her back blown out. Yeah Sabreana but remember the last time we this happened. She was lying up in the hospital and the only reason why we found her was because I was working her floor. Brianna said. Ok, you’re right Brianna call your hospital and see is she is there. Sabreana and I will drive to her house. Oh hell no I’m coming with you I’ll call from my cell! After high school I got a full scholarship to attend Stony brook to play basketball. Brianna got one for Academics and so did Sabreana. So we all packed up and moved out there and rented a house. We all had the same basic classes. Brianna wanted to be a doctor so she had more science classes. Sabreana and I wanted to be lawyers so we had all the same classes. I will never forget the first time I saw Jalisa, She was so gorgeous sitting there reading her book. I stopped suddenly and Sabreana bumped into me cussing at me. Jalisa looked up smiled and continued reading her book. Sabreana and I walked to the back of the room and I whispered I will be right back. I got up and walked over to her. Excuse me Miss my name is Malicia and what’s yours? My name is Jalisa. How are you? I’m fine and you? I’m fine. 47 Glad o hear that. So tell me Jalisa are you single? No I have a man. Oh so your straight? Yes I am. Damn! Just my luck. Well I guess I will just have to be your friend. And who said I want to be your friend? Oh you got jokes I see I like you already. Jalisa and I talked for a while until Sabreana came over. Umm excuse me but can a sister be down? Oh my bad Sabreana. Yes it is dyke. My name is Sabreana. And yours is? Jalisa, nice to meet you Sabreana. Look who decided to grace us with her presence. Fuck yall bishes! We all laughed. Jalisa this rude Negro here is Brianna. Hey girl what’s up? Brianna replied. I just heard that the Q-dogs are having a party this weekend. Yall down? Oh hell yeah! Those boys can party. And not to mention fine. Said Sabreana. 48 You both are sluts. Excuse these heifers Jalisa. There just sexually repressed and I’m not. No Brianna you’re just a slut bottom line. Whatever Dyke! Is someone getting touchy? I joked pinching Brianna on the cheek. Oh go fuck a man! Opps sorry Brianna but I’m strictly lickly. We all laughed. It was Friday night and all four of us were at the house getting ready to leave. Hello? Hey Alanzo what’s up? Nothing much I’m just calling to remind you about the fundraiser that my mom is throwing on Sunday. I didn’t forget I’ll be there. Are you coming to pick me up? Of course I’m coming to get my baby. Ok I will see you then. Love you. I love you to Malicia. I hung up and felt low. Even though I finally came out the closet. Alanzo and I never lost the love for each other. We were always the best of friends and I think that made our bond stronger. He always 49 knew I was gay but it never mattered. He even respected me for it. I guess that’s why I love him. Hurry up Malicia where ready. Snapping out of my trance I yelled. I’m ready to. Jalisa told us that her boyfriend was a Q so we were looking forward to meeting him at the party. When we got there it was packed, all eyes were on us. When we got out of the Mercedes, I almost forgot how much of a head turner that car is. We checked ourselves and went in. Well actually they did. I didn’t need to. I am not a lipstick lesbian. Jalisa found her boyfriend by the bar. He was talking o some girl and it didn’t seem to just be a friendly conversation. They looked like they had something going on. We looked at each other. Jalisa walked over to where they were. Umm excuse me sir do you have room for me? Hey Jalisa give me two minutes. We all glanced at each other again. I knew that I did not like him on sight. He was cute but not that fine and he was Jamaican, another strike for him. Being from a Jamaican family, I watched the women slave at home and work because the men would come home and sit on their duff until it was time to go to bed. So I knew from there that he was trouble. Excuse me Mark but I wanted to introduce you to my new friends. Bitch do you see me talking! Bastard! She said and walked away. 50 We all followed her to make sure she was ok. I’m fine but he can be so rude sometimes. He is such a faggot. But I love him we have been together since eighth grade. How can I just up and leave him now? Jalisa you just do it. You have to remember that you come first. You don’t allow anyone to treat you like that. I will leave him but I can’t do it right now. Well whatever you decide Jalisa we are here for you. I said. And they all chimed in. We are there for you also. Thanks guys all of you are such good friends. He finally left that girl and came over to where we were sitting. I’m so sorry Jalisa for being so rude. She was a recruiter for this company I have been trying to get into. That’s ok I understand but you don’t have to be so rude. I’m sorry Chula. This position means so much to me. Ok Mark lets drop it. Jalisa introduced us and I still didn’t like him. I noticed that he had complete control over her. She wouldn’t dance. She barely conversed with anyone, I knew this one was gonna be trouble. And I knew all of us had a battle on our hands. The party was nice even with the drama. We all went back to the house and crashed. I wanted to hit Manhattan so I could find a gown for Alanzo’s mother’s fundraiser. I woke up around eleven and 51 started cooking. I took out the chicken that I had sitting in seasoning for two days. Put on the pot to fry it in, started some water to cook some noodles for the Mac and cheese. And put on another pot and added some smoked turkey necks for my collard greens. Sabreana was the first one to smell the turkey boiling. Morning girl what you cooking? And where the hell is the coffee? It’s on the counter I went to Dunkin instead of Starbucks; the one with the s is yours. Brianna and Jalisa came down next. Girl you are always cooking. Are you trying to make us fat? Brianna laughed. Of course I am. I can’t have you looking better than me. I said. Too late we already do. I smacked on her butt for that comment. Woe what are you cooking today? Fried chicken, collard greens, and baked Mac and cheese. Is that ok with yall? Damn we gonna be fat. Jalisa laughed. Hey I bought everyone breakfast and coffee. And umm let’s get a move on the train leaves at 2:45 and I want to be there on time. I can’t go Mark wants me to go the Outlets so he can get a suit. Ok Jalisa well you just make sure you are back by dinner. Oh I will you can bet your life on that. 52 We all laughed. We drove to the LIRR in silence, which was a first for us. We all had a funny feeling in the pits of our stomach. Hey is it just me or do yall feel funny? I have been feeling it to. I was just waiting for someone to say it. Sabreana said. I hope Jalisa is alright Malicia. So do I. We got off the LIRR on 34th street and headed for the E train to Madison Ave. I already saw the dress I wanted in Prada so that where we were headed. We got off the train and came up to the street. We walked to the store I got my dress and a couple of more items and we were off again. Just as we were about to head into the subway station my phone rang. Hey Jalisa what’s up! I need you to come to Stony Brook Hospital. But why Jalisa? What happened? Mark slashed my face. She cried What did that bastard do? But why Jalisa? He thought that I was cheating on him with one of his runners. Oh my God! We are on the way. Hang in there Jalisa we are in the city but I’m about to hail a cab. Malicia, Malicia. What’s wrong? What happened to Jalisa? Sabreana screamed! That bastard cut her! 53 What did he do? He cut her face. We hailed a cab; we put the bags in the trunk. I will pay you five hundred dollars if you can get us to Stony Brook Hospital ASAP! Malicia are you crazy he will try to kill us! Ok can you get us there fast but safe? I can’t believe he did that to her. Where is he now? Sabreana asked. She didn’t say. I hope he’s at the hospital so he will have a short ride to ICU. Whispered Brianna. I hope so too damn coward! I bet he wouldn’t have fought a man like that. I can’t wait until I get there. I am going to beat on him. It took an eternity to get there but we finally made it. Brianna ran in while Sabreana and I got the bags. Um excuse me nurse? What room is Jalisa Quinones in? She is in surgery right now. She should be out in an hour. Brianna asked How is she? How bad is it? May I ask what your relationship is to her? The nurse asked. I am her sister and these are her cousins. 54 I’m sorry to inform you Ms. Quinones but it is really bad. He cut her from her ear to her jaw. She is going to need five hundred stitches and extensive plastic surgery. I don’t care whatever she needs, I will pay for it. Can we go up and see her. Of course you can. There is a waiting area on the 5th floor. You go up I’m going to call Alanzo. I called Alanzo and filled him I’m on what happened. He rushed right over. He was not that far from here. Where is Mark? Alanzo asked. I have not seen him since we got here. You take care of the bill and make sure she has the best. I went upstairs while Alanzo went to look for Mark. When I stepped off of the elevator, Sabreana was sitting there with her face in her hands crying. What’s wrong Sabreana? She is out of surgery Brianna is in recovery with her now. Malicia she is bad. Walking into the recovery room in a trance, Brianna was holding her hand. I could not see the wound. I walked closer and the whole left side of her face was swollen and bandaged up. I looked at Brianna with fire in my eyes. Before she could catch me I was off and running. I was going to get Mark before Alanzo did. I was standing there waiting for the elevator to come when Sabreana walked up to me. 55 Malicia you really need to calm down. I am calm. I am going to find Alanzo to tell him how bad it is. No you’re not. I know you to well Malicia. You’re going to hurt him, don’t lie to me. Your right Sabreana what else can I do? Jalisa looks so bad. I feel so helpless. I know Malicia but all we can do is pray and be there for her. Stay calm let Alanzo handle it. The elevator doors opened and Alanzo stepped out. I fell into his arms and began crying. No one has ever seen me cry. How is she Malicia? She is bad. She is in recovery. Did you find Mark? No, but I will not give up until I find him. Alanzo walked into the room and did a complete one eighty turn on his heels. Yelled son of a bitch! He grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room. Malicia I am going to find him. Here is some money. You stay with her don’t worry about tomorrow. I will explain it to my mother. Where is your car? It’s at the train station. I am going to get it. Take my American Express; tell them to charge anything that is not covered by her insurance. Ok Alanzo. Please don’t kill him I want to do this the right way. 56 Don’t worry Malicia we will. I want him to know what it is like to be violated. I know plenty of people in jail that will be willing to make all of our plans come true. Thanks Alanzo. You are such a good friend. I love you Malicia and I will always be there for you. Tell your mother I said that I am sorry that I will not make it. Tell her I will call her on Monday. Malicia please don’t worry she will understand. You just be here for Jalisa. We took turns sitting with Jalisa. She finally came out of the drug induced coma three days later. Hey sweaty how are you feeling? I’m in pain Malicia. I know Jalisa. Tears started streaming down Jalisas face. How could he do this to me Malicia! Jalisa don’t cry it is all being taken care of. Malicia what did you do to him. I didn’t touch him, What did Alanzo do to him? Nothing I asked him not to hurt him. He went to his house and dragged him out and took him to the police. He is locked up getting what he deserves. 57 I am glad. Jalisa don’t worry about that you rest and worry about getting better. I will. Malicia? Yes sweetie. I love you Malicia. I love you to Jalisa. Get some rest. Malicia? How bad is it? Don’t worry about that. Go to sleep we will talk later. Malicia I love you. I know, now go to sleep before I smack you. I watched Jalisa sleeping as I cried silently. Why couldn’t I see this coming? I should have pushed harder for her to leave him. But love is love. How can you deny it? After all I was caught up also. I loved Alanzo for all that he has done for me. My body would not allow me to be with him. They finally put Jalisa in a regular room. I was getting tired of sitting in that cramped ICU room. I called Sabreana to let her know that they moved Jalisa to a room. I will be down in an hour to relieve you. I’m fine Sabreana take your time. Please bring me some Oxtails. I am starving and this food is nasty. Will do Malicia. 58 By the time she got there my stomach was in my back. Damn bitch what the hell took you so long? Look here heifer your uptight ass will only from one spot. So what you love the food there also. I know you heifers bought me some food. Jalisa exclaimed. No bitch we didn’t get you’re broken down ass nothing. Well one of you is gonna up their plate cause a bitch is hungry. Look here queen bitch, miss bitch whatever kind of bitch of course we got you some food. We got madder by the second watching Jalisa trying to eat. Do you want any help Jalisa? No sweetie I’m fine. Jalisa was scheduled to be released from the hospital on Friday. Her appointment with the Plastic Surgeon is on Tuesday. He did not want to wait until the scar healed all the way. I asked Jalisa if she was up for the visit. Hell yeah girl I need my looks back. You conceited stinking ass heifer. I know and so are you. But seriously Malicia, I want to thank you for everything you and Alanzo have done for me. I would have been lost if you guys weren’t here for me. 59 No problem Jalisa there is no need for thanks. You’re my sister girl and I love you. I want to thank you to Brianna and Sabreana for being here for me also. Jalisa have you called your mom and dad to tell them what happened? No Malicia! I can’t tell them yet they will make me come home. I know Jalisa but you can’t keep a secret like this from them. I will talk to them about this. Tell them I will look after you. But on a serious note Mark is due to be released this week. You have not pressed charges against him and they can’t hold him any longer. What are you going to do? I can’t press charges against him. Malicia I’m scared. I know sweetie but we are here for you. He can’t touch you behind all of us. Don’t forget who Alanzo’s father is he will not allow anything to happen to you either. What makes you think that he will protect me? Jalisa I know he will, his family loves me and you see how they are with me. You are now considered to him as one of his daughters. His family is really behind you. His family is really close aren’t they? Yes Jalisa they believe in taking care of their own. I wish my family was like that. That is why Alanzo and I are so close. 60 Malicia did you and Alanzo ever do anything sexually? We tried to but my body would not respond. He saw it and stopped. We talked about it and he understood. He was the one that told me I was gay. He respects me to the utmost. He even encouraged me to come out. But my respect for him stopped me from doing it sooner. Wow Malicia that is deep. He truly does love you. Yeah he does. We have known each other since we were in elementary school. He is very special to me. He held my hand through the time after my mom died. He has been there through a lot of my ups and downs. Do you think that if you weren’t gay you would have married him? I know that for a fact. He is everything that I would want in a mate. The only that is wrong is him being a man. But even though he is still my heart. I just hope that I can find a woman with his qualities. You will Malicia. You are a special person. If I was gay I would snatch you up real quick. Thanks Jalisa I wish you were gay. You are as close to my queen as any female. Thanks Malicia I love you. I love you to Jalisa. Jalisa was released two days later. She moved in with us and life was all good. We took her to her Plastic Surgery appointment. He explained to us that he could hide most of the scar. Will you be able to tell that something was wrong? 61 I can hide the majority of it but you will be able to notice it up close. I don’t care as long as you can hide the majority of it. Jalisa said. Mark came to the house to beg for Jalisa's forgiveness. He was greeted by a beat down from all of us, or Alanzo, or one of Jalisa's bodyguards that he hired. He finally stopped coming around and Jalisa was feeling better. She started dating Charlie Alanzo’s baby brother. He fell in love with her the first time they met. She was living the life of luxury. He was spoiling her rotten. We were happy she was smiling all the time. They were really in love and anyone that didn’t know them knew it. They were what Alanzo and I could have been if I wasn’t gay. Hey girls I have something to tell you. Yes girl what’s up? She was smiling from ear to ear. Jalisa took her hand out of her pocket and damn near blinded us. She was sporting a four caret diamond. Damn girl put that away before you blind someone. What’s the matter you don’t like my graduation present? Girl we love it! Congrats! I was the happiest of them all. With all that Jalisa had been through the last two years. She deserved this and any other happy moment that came after this. 62 63 GRADUATION DAY Sabreana move it girl we can’t be late! Today should have been the happiest day for me. I was graduating Valedictorian and passed my LSAT with the second highest score in history. But I was missing that someone special. And my mom was not with me. What’s wrong Malicia? Alanzo asked. Nothing I’m fine. I wish mommy was here to see this. Believe me Malicia she can see you and I know she is proud of you. I’m proud of you he said while kissing me on the cheek. 64 Alanzo thanks for everything. Without you none of this would be possible. You are truly a friend and I love you so much for it. And for all that you have done for my friends. You know you are my heart Malicia. You’re my best friend. And special thanks for what you did for Jalisa she is truly happy now. I’m glad I could help. You just go above and beyond the norm. And what man would stand by and do what you have done and not expected sex in return? I don’t need sex Malicia. I just wish you wasn’t gay you would be my wife. I wish I could have been what you needed. You would have been my husband to. I love you Alanzo. I love you to Malicia. Sabreana Move It! Damn bitch stop yelling I’m right here! How are we going to be late and we had to sit on the stage? Girl please they can’t start without us. This is our day. Relax! I know but it would be nice to be on time for once. I need for today to be perfect. Ok Malicia what is wrong? Alanzo what is wrong with her? 65 Don’t worry Sabreana she is ok. She is upset that her mom is not here. Oh my God! I almost forgot about it. I walked out the door and headed for the limo. I practiced my speech all the way to the stadium. Today had to be perfect. I knew that my mother would be smiling down on me. Plus my girls would be there and I have always been a role model for them. I don’t have time to cry or show weakness. They are always looking to me. Man this shit is really getting thick. We finally reached the stadium and we all got out. We grabbed our gowns out of the trunk and put them on. I was ready but nervous. Sabreana and I took our place on the stage as the class walked in the stadium. Sabreana did her speech first and there wasn’t a dry eye. How could I possibly top that? I switched up on everybody instead of giving my whole speech I sang “You are my Friend” by Patti Labelle. Everyone stood up and sang with me. They held hands and hugged and kissed. We had all formed a bond that would be lost through time. When I finished I dedicated my song to my mother, friends, and family. After the graduation we headed back to the house to set up for the party. Even though I was exhausted from being up all night cooking, I was looking forward to this. I refused to let anything ruin my good mood. Not even the pain of being alone. I knew my dream would come true someday. I would find that special one. Hey Malicia what’s wrong? Nada Jalisa I’m fine. Just tired from cooking. Malicia don’t lie to me I know you. 66 No really Jalisa I’m fine. Malicia stop fucking lying to me! Well everyone has someone. When am I gonna find that special someone? Soon Malicia you are a beautiful person inside and out. Just watch it will happen soon. I hope so Jalisa. I hope so. Girl please stop looking so down. I feel better now Jalisa. I love you Malicia! I love you to Malicia. Please smile we have a house full of people coming and we have your birthday to plan. Yeah damn I can’t believe I will be Twenty-five. So spill it, what do you heifers have planned for me? Nonya bitch, oh sorry nonya you dyke. Jalisa I’m gonna smack the crap out of you. I know you wish you could but you can’t! Whatever it is Malicia you will never forget this birthday. Well here come the natives. Time to Smile! And with that the party started! 67 68 Our Story 69 Malicia sit down and eat your food. I will Dominique. Can I take a shower first? I feel like I have been playing ball all day. I’ll please go wash. I know you stink if you say that. If I didn’t love you then I would smack you into next month. I know you would. Only if you could catch me. I went to go chase her but she took off. Damn I forgot she was a track star. I’m going to heat up your food. Ok babe, I love you and see you when you get out. 70 Damn it’s hard to believe that we have been together for more than 2 years already. It seems like yesterday that we meet. Dominique has all of the qualities that I wanted in a mate and more. We both attended graduate school. I graduated second in my class at St. Johns Law School. And she graduated third in her Business class. She is a Marketing Director for one the top advertising firms in Manhattan. And I am a Jr Partner at the second largest law firm in the World. Our life is great and getting better as the days progress. It’s just a matter of us taking the next step. I was ready to take the next step. But we have never discussed it. I don’t know how she feels about that. I can tell that she loves me. She is always there for me. She treats me like a queen. The only left for me to do is pop the question. Honey are you finished yet? Your food is going to get cold. I’m coming Babe. We ate and discussed the day. Malicia this new account I am working on is really killing me. Tell me all about it? Are they stressing you? If so you can always stay home. Or better yet start your own. Malicia I can’t do that. I am not ready to start my own. As for me staying home that is not going to happen. I will go stir crazy by being home all day. I know baby. It was just a thought. But on the real note, I know that you are smart enough and ambitious enough to start your own and be successful at it. You really need to have more faith in yourself. It’s not the faith that I lack it’s the money. The government is throwing money at women to start their own businesses. We could always apply for a grant. And hey you don’t need to hire a lawyer. You have a business lawyer right here. And I won’t even charge you. 71 Oh Malicia you would do that for me? Of course I would. You know that I would do anything for you. Oh Malicia I love you so much. I love you to Dominique. As usual the food was wonderful. You are such a great cook. You are the best in everything. What did I deserve to deserve such a queen like you? I guess you were just lucky. I mean a women like me is so hard to find. You know what. You are so conceited. Come here and give me a kiss. I will do one better. Stay here I am going to get dessert. Oh my God! This woman is something else. Baby where did you get that outfit from? Do you like it? Damn women you are so fine. But where is my dessert? Its right here! She came out of the kitchen in this see through purple teddy, carrying a silver platter with some chocolate syrup. Then she climbed on the table and opened her legs in front of me and poured the syrup all over her pussy. Ok honey dessert is served! 72 I commenced to eating my dessert. Slowly licking the syrup off of the top of her pussy, and working my way down to the spot that meant the most to me. I grabbed her legs and pulled her closer to me. I gradually started to lick her clit. This always drove her crazy. She moaned and moaned. It turns me on how sexy she sounds. She has a voice as deep as Toni Braxton. But moaning was not enough for me. I wanted the hair pulling and scratching. I picked up the pace, gently biting and sucking on her clit. She started screaming now. I loved the way my baby sounded. It just motivated me more to continue. I slowly worked my tongue in and out her pussy. I could feel myself moaning now. I knew that an orgasm was on its way. I lifted her legs in the air and licked around her asshole. Damn daddy I love the way you eat my pussy. Please baby, please don’t stop. Daddy! Daddy! I’m Cumming! I’m Cumming! I stood up lifted her and kissed her with all of the love and passion of my soul. I truly loved this woman. She was my everything. I pushed her backwards and lifted her legs softly kissing them. I entered her thrusting deeper and harder. I felt myself about to climax. Baby not yet. I want to taste you. I took the strap out and laid it on the couch. She took the strap off me. Situated herself between my legs and took her dessert all in. I screamed and moaned. This girl was so good at this. She sucked and licked until I squirted all over her face. I had truly found a gem. No one has ever made me feel this good. She is the only woman that has ever been allowed to touch me. I had to make her my wife. We got up and went to the room to talk about the plan for her business. We outlined a business plan. I would talk to the web designers at the firm tomorrow about the cost for a website. I knew 73 that my business card writer would give us a good price. It was all coming together. We finally put the papers away and lay in each other’s arms and went to sleep. I had a huge case starting in two days. I was really not feeling this client. I knew that he was into some shady stuff but it was not my job to judge. It was up to the jury to do that. All I could do was try my best to get him off without hurting his pockets. Baby it’s time to get up. I don’t want to Dominique cant we just lay in each other’s arms all day? I would love to but you have a big case and I have a presentation to give. I know baby. I am having a really bad feeling about this. I know this man was negligent in his actions and because of it to many people got hurt. Well Malicia all you can do is work hard to defend him. You are not a criminal attorney. This is a civil case and you have to defend him so he can keep his business. I know baby but I know he didn’t service that machine. And that is why those people got hurt. How can that be on my conscience and still help him? Malicia you have to have faith. It will all work out. You just be your brilliant self and if it was meant for him to be caught they will catch him. I hear you Dominique. I love you so much. You are truly my inspiration. 74 Well thanks I try. Now get up and let’s get ready. I have a better idea. Let me tap that ass one more time for good luck. I laughed. Oh hell no you’re not tapping anything this morning! You can have a kiss and a big hug but we will late if I give you the ass. You are so mean. I know you are. Now get up lazy bones and make your mama happy. Go win that case! I walked into the office and all was quiet. A little to quiet for my taste. Um Susan what is going on? I think you should ask Mr. Johnson. But Ms. Smith it is not good. I headed to Mr. Johnson office. Knocking on the open door he motioned for me to come in and take a seat. Good morning Malicia. I have some really disturbing news. What is it? One on the people that got hurt in the accident has passed. Oh my God! This means this will turn into a criminal case. I am going to need you to put on the criminal cap and defend Mr. Johnson. He is going to need it with this death. Mr. Johnson, how can I defend him to the best of my ability knowing that he is guilty? If he would have fixed the machine like he was supposed to then this would not be happening. 75 I understand your apprehension but we swore to defend him to the best of our ability. I understand and I will. I know you will Malicia you are our best litigator. And I have all of the faith in you. I can see you becoming a senior partner soon. Well thanks Mr. Johnson I’m glad to know that you have this much faith in me. I do let’s win one for the team! I left out his office feeling like a two dollar whore. I know that it is unethical to hide the fact that I knew this secret. But I was not being paid to be a prosecutor. But is I was I would have this maggot by the balls. I walked down to the IT department to talk to Ron about the website. Hey Ron how are you today? I’m fine Malicia. How are you? I will be better once I am done with this case. I hear that. I heard what Happened. It’s sad. It sure is but what can I do. Listen I need your help. Dominique is thinking about starting her own firm and I could really use your help. You know I will do anything for you to. How long have you known me? Since college, man it’s been a long time. We are getting old. You talk for yourself, I’m getting better. He laughed. 76 Oh I know I’m getting better also. But for real we need some advice on her website. You know I have your back. Hey I’m going to pop the question. It’s about time. You two make such a perfect couple. I was wondering what was taking so long. You know I got your back on that also. I have a friend that’s has a jewelry shop on 5th. Do you want to run over there for lunch? Sure that sounds great! I want her ring to be special just like her. It will. Let me know when you want to discuss the options for the site. You can come to dinner tonight and we can discuss it then. That’s if you don’t have a hot date. Man I’m done with that. I think I found the one also. Oh really I didn’t know you was dating. You wouldn’t we hardly talk anymore. Yeah you’re right about that. But all of that is going to change. Listen bring her also. We can make this a double date. I sure will. But it’s not her. Oh my God! Are you telling me what I think you’re telling me? Yes I am. Congrats I always knew but I didn’t want to out you like that. 77 Well I’m out and proud. I can’t wait to meet him. I will see you at two for lunch. Let me get back to this case. See you then. I walked to my office and started to work on this mess of a case. I needed to change my strategy. How was I going to proceed? I had to make it seem like he knew nothing about the machine and its repairs. I would have to make it seem like the foreman was supposed to be on top of the machines. I knew that I could do it. I just didn’t have the desire to do it. This is the reason why I choose to go into business law and not criminal. But here I was going into something I detested. Well no crying over spilt milk. I have to get to work. Lunch was a welcome disturbance. I was going to get my babies ring. I met Ron by the elevator doors and we walked to 5th Ave. I called my friend and told him that the ring had to be special. He said he is going to put several to the side just for you. Thanks Ron you are truly a great friend. I’m just hoping that she will accept my proposal. She wills she loves you as much as you love her. I have never seen so much love and affection before in my life. You two bring hope to anyone that may be skeptical about relationships. Well thanks. So tell me about your new man. Girl he is gorgeous! His name is Damon. He is 6”2, muscular, deep mocha skin, he has all of his teeth, thirty six, grey eyes, and he owns several banks in Harlem. 78 Oh he sounds like a winner. How did you meet? Chile I met him on the E-train! On what train? You heard me the E-train. It was 6 months ago. I was having a bad day. The train was hot and funky. I was trying to read my book and ignore the stench when I heard him. He asked if the seat next to me was taken. Girl when I looked up I was in love. I could hardly talk. He just took my breath away he was so handsome. We started talking and it was time for me to get off. So he asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner that night. I gave him my number and as soon as I walked in my door my phone was ringing. Girl he wasted no time. I see that. I guess you must have made an impression on him. I guess so too. We went out to dinner and the rest is history, we have been seeing each other ever since. I am so happy for you. You deserve to be happy. Well here we are Malicia. I walked in and the rings that he had put aside were just brilliant. I agreed on an emerald cut her favorite. It had a flower design that went around the sides. It was platinum and four carets. I knew she would love it. I paid for it and grabbed the bag and we went to eat. I thanked Ron for getting me a great price. I know I would spend an east twenty grand for it. Girl the ten you spent was enough for me. I wanted to faint when he said the price. It’s worth it. She is worth it and more. I would have paid full price for it. I can’t wait until she sees it. I can’t wait to ask her period. 79 Look at you, your glowing. I hope I get to that place one day. You will. Just then my cell phone rang. Hello? Hey Malicia what you doing? Hey Sabreana what’s up? I need a lawyer. What’s wrong? Nothing really. I’m thinking about expanding and I need a new lawyer. Oh bitch that’s all. You had me worried. You know I will be there for my girl. Great I will call you later. Um Sabreana I’m going to pop the question tonight. Oh my God! Girl I am so proud of you. We will have to go to dinner this weekend and celebrate. We will, let me know what your plans are and we will work them out. Ok love you girl. Love you to Sabreana. I am getting business left and right now. That was Sabreana she is going to expand. 80 Damn her practice is going on like that? Yeah my girl is doing it big. She is great with these athletes and entertainers. She has always spoken their language. I’m glad that her and Ray are doing good also. Hey didn’t he just sign a 4 year contract with the Knicks? Yep he sure did. My boy is doing it up to. He is shaking and baking. . I just hope that they tie the knot soon. I need some nieces and nephews. I want a baby of my own also. I know Dominique will have your baby. Hey how are Jalisa and Brianna doing? I haven’t seen them in a while. Well I know she will have my baby. We share the same affection for them. As for Jalisa miss beauty queen is a stay at home wife. You know they just got married in June. And the slut well she is still a slut but a paid one. She is a top surgeon at the hospital. Still single though. That’s great. I am so happy for all of them. Especially Jalisa she deserves it the most. I never liked Mark from the first day I pledged. But he was my big brother what could I do. I’m glad he is still in jail. Getting what he deserves every day. I laughed. Yeah I heard he is bent over every night. His hair is long and he is wearing makeup. He is a real queen now. We both laughed. We headed for the deli. I wanted a salad, nothing too heavy for me. I couldn't afford to get niggeritis with this case. We got back o the office and ate our lunch. Hey you make sure you are at the house by seven. And that means seven our time. Not CP time. 81 I will be on time. Damon hates to be late. I know you will love him. If you choose him I know I will love him. He will love yall to. I will see you then. I went back to work on this case. Then I called my baby. Hey sweetie, how is your day going? It’s ok Malicia. I have been really thinking hard about your idea. They have been down my throat all day. I landed that account, but do you think that they would give me a bonus for the work I did, that would be compensate to the work I did? They didn’t? What did they tell you would be your bonus? They said it will total around five thousand. The account is worth over a hundred thousand. Which means I should get a bonus of twenty thousand, I’m telling you they will not give me my props. Well all of that will be over soon babe. I was talking to Ron and he will be over tonight to discuss the layout. And he is not even going to charge us a thing. And guess what else? What Malicia? Did he catch something from someone? That is not nice. I laughed. No for real though he has a boyfriend. What are you kidding me? Are you for real? Stop fucking with me Malicia. I’m serious he is bringing him over tonight. I’m going to stop and pick up some scallops and shrimp. I’m going to make my Alfredo. 82 That sounds good I love when you cook that. What is the special occasion? You will have to see when I get home. I also have some bad news. The case took a turn for the worse. And now I have to go back to criminal law. For what, what happened? One of the claimants died this morning from his injuries. Oh Malicia I am so sorry to hear that. I hope that jury hangs him. I hope so to, but he is my client and I have to defend him. Well after they leave this evening I will try to ease your pain with a sexual healing. That sounds like a plan to me. Ok honey let me go back to my research. I will call you when I am on my way home. I love you. I love you to Malicia. I will talk to you then. I went back to work for another two hours and I couldn’t take it anymore. The trial started in a week. But I have no motivation. Maybe if I go home and have a good night I might get the motivation that I need. I packed up and said good night to my secretary and headed for the elevators. I ran into Ron and reminded him of the time. I headed to the grocery store down the block to get the ingredients for tonight’s dinner and called my baby. I was feeling much better knowing that I was going to ask her to marry me. I hung up and just as I was about to put the phone in my pocket it rang again. Hello? Hey dyke. 83 You’re going to stop calling me a dyke. How are you doing miss? I’m great. So what is this that I hear? Is my girl going to settle down? Damn Sabreana had s a big mouth. You know she can’t hold water. Yeah I see. So are you coming out with us this weekend? No I’m going to do one better. We are going to have a party at my house. Aww you are so sweet. That’s why I love you. Are you sure it will be ok with Charlie? Are you kidding he is more excited than I am. Is Alanzo going to come? Oh girl you know that he is paying for it and he even offered to throw the wedding at his house. What are you kidding me? I can’t believe that he is that happy for me. When was the last time you talked to him? It’s been about a month. With my case load I really don’t have the time. Girl call him, he misses you so much. I know he does. I miss him to. Since I finished school and started working here I haven’t had time to breath. 84 He knows and understands that, but he is worried that you will lose touch. Never that. I will always love him and he will always be special to me. Well you need to tell him that he is feeling really down about the distance between you to. I will call him now. Isn’t he getting married next year to Denise? Yes he is but you will always have a special place in his heart. I know I’m about to call him now. Ok I will talk to you later. And we will talk about the menu. I love you Malicia. Love you to Jalisa. I called Alanzo and had a good conversation. He was telling me about his wedding plans. He also congratulated me for deciding to marry Dominique. Don’t’ congratulate me yet. I haven’t asked her yet. And I don’t know what her answer will be. You know as well as I do what her answer will be. Stop being like that Malicia you are a special person and everyone can see that. I know it’s just that we have never talked about the subject. And I am worried because she has never shown a desire to want to get married or even have a family. 85 You know that she wants to have a family with you and be your wife. But if you don’t bring it up she won’t. You really think that it’s? I know that’s it. How many times have you told me not to sell myself short? Now it is time for you to take your own advice. I will Alanzo. Thanks so much. I needed this pep talk. How are things going with you and Denise? Its going, that’s all I can say. We are going to get married but she is not who I want. Then Alanzo don’t marry her. Don’t ruin her life. You know she loves you. What will happen when she finds out you are only marring her out of obligation? Your right Malicia but the one I love loves another and the same sex as that. I’m sorry Alanzo. I never meant to hurt you. You know that if I could have avoided it I would have. Malicia it’s not your fault. You were just being you. I know but you are hurting all the same. Don’t worry about me. You just take care of that pretty girlfriend of yours. Ok Alanzo. Well let me get on this train. I will see you this weekend. 86 I got on the train and thought about what was going on. Things had to change for me also. I needed to get my own practice and move my wife and me out of New York. Away from the madness. I got home and Malicia was nowhere to be found. I called to her but no answer. Babe, babe where are you? I’m outside Malicia. Are you ok? Yes darling I’m fine. I was just thinking. Thinking about what? The future Malicia. Starting my own business. Having a family. Come on in the kitchen and talk to daddy all about it. You are so fresh. But I will tell daddy all about it. Dominique sat at the table and told me that she wanted to one day get married and have a huge family. Something that she never had. She also told me of her fears about the future. Well Dominique can you stir this for me. I need to use the bathroom. Ok sweet heart. I’m going to turn this down and set the table. Ok babe. I’ll be right back. I went into the bedroom to acquire the ring. Now I was sure of my decision. I knew she had the same dreams as I do. I said a silent pray and walked back into the kitchen. I had the ring in my pocket. Malicia where did you go? I’m in the dining room baby. 87 Babe I’m going to grab some wine and go outside. I need some air. Are you coming? Yes babe as soon as I’m done with the table. Ok babe hurry up we don’t have much time until they get here. I’m Cumming. Opps I mean coming. Oh don’t apologize you will be doing that later. Oh really now! I can’t wait. Dominique came out and sat next to me on the patio. I love sitting in this yard. It is so peaceful. I’m glad that we had that waterfall built next to the pool. It is so peaceful to look at. It sure is but not as beautiful as looking at you. Thank you babe you are so sweet. I was sitting here thinking about our future also. And I was wondering if you would do me the honor of being my wife, the mother of my kids. I said while I bent over to get on one knee. Oh my God baby! Of course I will be your wife. I have been waiting patiently for this day. So here take this ring it is heavy. Baby I love it, it is beautiful. It is not as beautiful as my women. And with that our future took another bright turn. We discussed it some more and then the doorbell rang. 88 Hey sweetie this is Damon. Well hello Damon so nice to meet you. Won’t you please come in? Well thank you. Oh please stop with all of this proper talk. And let’s get down. You are such a fool Ron. I laughed. Well I hope you to like seafood cause that is what I prepared. Just then Dominique walked out of the bathroom. Hello fellas! Ron ran over noticing the ring and gave her a big hug. Oh my Goodness girl! Congratulations. I knew you would love the ring when I saw it. Oh so you were in on this? Yes girl I sure was! O by the way this is Damon. Hello Damon welcome to my home. Please make yourself comfortable. Thank you and congratulations. Would you care for some wine? Yes please thank you. Will that be Red or White? Well since we are having seafood I guess White will be fine. White it is. Would you care to have a seat on the patio? 89 Thank you. Heifer you didn’t ask me if I wanted wine or a seat on the patio. Give someone a little ass diamond and they forget who you are. Negro please! You are family and not a stranger in my house. Get your own! And this is no little diamond so shut up! You damn right about that. I’m shocked your finger hasn’t fallen off yet. True true! My baby has some good taste. She sure does. I was wondering what was taking her so long to ask you. I was thinking the same thing. I was about to give up. No you wasn’t you know you wasn’t going anywhere. You damn right about that. She is my heart and soul. She sure is. You know you’re whipped, with a capital W! Man shut up and get your wine and get out of my kitchen! We all retired to the patio and kicked around ideas for the website. I also sprung it on them that I wanted to go into my own practice. Oh baby I am so proud of you. So are we. You are too good for that firm. You should have been a senior partner years ago. 90 Well now I don’t have to be. I will have my own. And I know some of them will follow me. So I will be ok I believe. You will be fine baby. I will handle your advertisements. And I will build your website. Said Ron. Thanks guys you are truly gems. And if either of you need loans. You got it from my bank. Said Damon. Wow this guy is a real friend also. Ron you better keep this one. Oh I plan to for as long as he will have me. We ate dinner and talked some more about our plans. They left and Dominique and I went in the pool and made love under the waterfall. God I love this women. 91 92 The wedding Dominique come on we are going to be late for our party! I’m right behind you baby. Damn you look good. Maybe we should skip the party and just have our own private party. Oh no we won’t! I want to show off my ring. 93 I love you baby and thank you for agreeing to become my wife. Oh baby I would be your wife for anything and everything. I want to thank you for asking me. You are my heart and soul and the only women that could get me to ask that question. Ok enough of this mushy stuff. Let’s go. I agree your turning me into a softy. So you’re my softy. I sure am. We drove to the party laughing all the way. Even though Dominique met my friends she really didn’t know that much about them. So I filled her in on the ride over. We laughed about all of memories that we shared. We also talked about children. I found out that we wanted the same amount of kids. We arrived at the party and heard it all the way down the block. We walked in and I thought that I would faint. Everyone was there from college. People I haven’t seen for years. I was so excited. Dominique’s family was there. Jalisa and Charlie went all out for us. I saw Alanzo and we gave each other a huge hug. We have not seen each other for 2 months. We partied and ate until the wee hours of the morning. Reminiscing, dancing, and eating. Everyone loved Dominique. But I knew they would as much as I loved her. We planned the wedding for September. That was two months from now. No need to prolong something that both of us wanted. We all pulled together and made up the guest list and the menu. We also 94 agreed who would make what since we had no time for a caterer. Alanzo arraigned for the flowers and the tables and chairs. Girl you could have waited a few more months to do this so we didn’t have to rush. Said Sabreana. Nope I don’t want to wait any longer. She is special and I want her with my last name as soon as possible. Damn you would think you were a man and she was pregnant. Laughed Jalisa. Ha-ha real funny. She will be God willing real soon. Oh so you have plans to make that family. Well when you get pregnant let me know. I want to be rich I’m telling the story to some tabloid. Laughed Brianna. I bet you would sell my story. Damn Skippy I would. Anyway back to what we were doing. We got all the plans together. I picked my groomsman. Or in my case Studs man. All of my friends were going to be bridesmaids. Dominique’s dress was gorgeous. Alanzo went all out and decorated his house. Everything was just stunning. Nothing could bring me down today. The orchestra he hired was remarkable. The food smelled scrumptious. All of my friends and family was here. Except my mother. But I knew that she was watching us. Well it was time to go down. I was nervous but excited at the same time. I was marrying the women of my dreams. Starting my own 95 firm. Honeymooning in Turks and Cacaos. I won the case and offered senior partner. Life was great. Oh my God it is time. Alanzo stood in for Dominique’s father. She looked so beautiful I am so glad she gave me the pleasure of being my wife. We said our vows and, I cried when she said her vows to me. The rest of the ceremony went well. And so did the Reception. Sabreana caught the bridal bouquet and Ray the garter. And she joked about them being next. Just then Ray dropped to his knees and proposed to her. We turned the party into a Wedding reception and engagement party. All of our dreams were coming true. Brianna even had a date, and she was talking about making a go of commitment. Jalisa and Charlie were getting married in three months. We got on our way for our honeymoon. Thank God for all of my happiness. Just when I thought that I would be alone for life you brought me a life of happiness. It was starting to look like all our dreams were coming true. 96 The honeymoon We stepped off of the plane into pure paradise. I could not believe what I was seeing. I had been too many islands but this one was by far the best one. The weather was a steamy but dry ninety-eight degrees. There was not a cloud in the sky. Just blue skies above. I could see the water off in the distant and it looked so crystal clear. 97 Like a Waterford Vase with a blue undertone. The air had a fresh salty smell to it. And the people were extra friendly. Mal this place is gorgeous. It is everything that I dreamed of and more. You are so good to me; I don’t know why I was so lucky to have you in my life. I’m the lucky one. You didn’t have to say yes to me. That night that I met you I knew that I wanted you to be mines forever. I never believed in love at first sight at least until I met you. Now you know that was not the case. Stop playing you know that is not a true statement. So cut it out. Yes it was babe. When I stepped off of that elevator and spotted you, I knew that I had to have you. That is why I glided over to you and made sure that you saw me watching you. Glided huh, more like stumbled. I said laughing. You tripped over your tongue more than one time walking over to me. Oh I see you got jokes. But you’re right I did trip over my tongue a couple of times. You looked so beautiful standing there. I knew that you was gonna be in my arms and bed before the week was over. Oh really now. You had that much confidence that I was gonna be yours huh? Well I was right wasn’t I? Yeah you were. So don’t hate the player, hate the game. I’m gonna hate both keep on messing with me. You’re not going anywhere I got you. 98 Your right about that. You got me forever. Good, now let’s go get our bags and get this honeymoon started! We grabbed our bags and a cab and headed to the hotel to start the honeymoon. We could not believe the scenery as we were driving. We drove past a couple of shops that I knew I wanted to visit. I wanted to take my baby shopping before we left. Mal this place is incredible. I can’t wait to see the sites. I want to go exploring all over the island. Pardon my interruption. The cab driver Jr said. But have you signed up for any tours while you are here? No, we just thought that we would hop in a cab and just go exploring. Well I would happy to show you the island. A lot of these cab drivers will take your money and just show you the tourist areas. I will show you the island from my point of view. I was born and raised here. So I know every part of it. That would be great Jr. Do you have a number where we can reach you at? I don’t think that we will be leaving the hotel anytime soon. I see you’re on your honeymoon. I am so happy to see a couple that are so in love with each other. Be it man or woman. Wow I thought that everyone on the island would not be so happy about a gay couple. Sha! Those are ignorant people. I say to each his own. Happiness is happiness wherever and whomever you find it with. 99 Jr we love you already. I will call you as soon as we are ready to get out. We will be here for three weeks so no hurry. No worries I will be here the whole time. I’m home and I’m not going anywhere. Ok we said as we arrived at the resort. Jr helped us out of the cab and put our bags on the luggage rack. Well Jr thanks for everything and we will be calling you soon. I look forward to it also. I checked us in while Domi went to look around the gift shop. I finally found her in the candle section. She had picked up several of my favorite scents. Are you wondering what they are? Well mango and strawberry. I love the mix that it creates. And it makes me Horney as all hell. Babe what are you getting? Just a few things to make sure that I keep you in the mood. All you have to do is walk around me naked. That will keep me in the mood all night and all day long. I know that part but I want you to be a little extra. I want to make sure that I get pregnant this weekend. Now you know better than that. If I could get you pregnant it would have happened a long time ago. As much as you cum in my mouth. Hum excuse me don’t you mean as much as you cum in my mouth. Yeah you right. But we can have all the fun trying. We sure can. I would love to start trying as soon as we go upstairs. 100 Domi purchased the candles plus a few other items and we went up to our suite. Oh my God this suite is gorgeous. I knew from the brochure that it was nice but its better then the picture. It sure is, but nothing is too good for my baby. Oh did I say my baby I meant to say my wife. The best looking most loyal wife in this world. You sure are. I know it and you better not ever forget it. Oh trust me I won’t I will cherish you for always. Because you have made me the happiest woman in this world. No you have made me the happiest woman in the world. Well since the two of us are feeling so lucky what do you say that we make each other feel extra lucky? I would love to babe but I need to unpack all of the clothes and look for the items that we packed before we left the states. Oh yes, you do need to find those items. Especially the three strap on’s that we just bought. See there you go already starting and we have not been here a good half an hour yet. Well what do you expect I have a beautiful wife and I am in paradise. Why not make the best of it while we are here. Babe? 101 Yes Mal. I love you so much and you have made me the happiest woman on this earth. I feel the same way and I am so happy that you have come into my life. I feel that all of my dreams have just come true. Well almost all of them. Domi? What is missing? You know that you can talk to me about anything. I know sweetheart but I felt that it was too soon to talk about this. Talk about what Domi. Us having kids? How did you know that I was talking about having kids? Domi it has been on my mind also. But with us just starting out. Getting married, starting our own businesses, purchasing a new house. I did think that you were ready to broach the subject yet. But I notice the way that you look at babies. You don’t think that I watch your every action but I do. I guess we had the same thing on our minds. We were just scared to talk about it. But I am glad that we are having this talk now. Especially since I know now that we want the same thing. A family. I guess now that I should finish unpacking. I want to take a nice long hot bath. Umm do you mind if I join you. Of course you can. Why would I tell you no. I love it when you hold me. 102 And I love holding you. Can I do other things to you while I’m holding you? See that’s what I am always talking about. You are so fresh it is a shame that you have to be that way. Why is it a shame? You should enjoy the fact that I am like that. Oh don’t get me wrong I love every minute of it. Especially when I sit on your face and rotate. See there you go always wanting to smother somebody and drown them. Don’t act like you don’t like it cause you know you do. You damn Skippy I do. Ok well I’m about to go run the bath and finish unpacking. Ok Domi. Do you want a drink? Of course I do. May I have a Pina Colada please? Well I am going to take a walk down to the bar for that one. Mal please you know you can make one of those in your sleep. Sure can. One Pina Colada coming right up. Thanks babe. I love you my she-king. You are so silly my queen. I love you also. I walked out onto the balcony and fell in love with the island all over again. It was such a breathtaking view. Off into the far horizon to the left, you could see some houses that looked like they were built into 103 the side of the mountain. As I turned around to see the other side of the balcony, I glanced down and noticed that they were digging a ditch into the sand. I wondered what that was for. Then as I looked closer you could see the staff setting up other tables around the ditch. Then a couple of seconds later I noticed about 4 waiters bringing out small goats and 3 large pigs. Well at least I know what the ditch was for. Maybe we should go out tonight just to start this vacation off. What do you think? Well I was hoping to have you all to myself tonight, but if you would rather go down there and partake of the festivities. Stop making it sound like I don’t want to spend the night with you. But I am starving and we need to eat to keep our energy up. Especially since you are going to need it. Oh I’m gonna need it. Are you sure that it won’t be you that’s needs the extra energy booster? You know I’m like the energizer bunny. I can go all night and all day. Shall I remind you of the night you talked all that shit and someone fell asleep after the first round. Well what do you expect you had me going all week? I have never seen you in heat like that before. I told you to stop walking around me like that. All oiled up and looking good. Like you just came from the gym. I would have come from the gym but you took all of my energy. Oh please don’t even complain you know you liked it. 104 Yep every bit of it. Babe? Yes sweetheart. I love you. I love you to. I hate when you get that serious face and say babe. It makes me think that something is wrong. It is serious. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I know babe and I love you that much but even more. Infinity? Plus Infinity. So what do you want to do first? Well. Let’s see. How about we take a long bubble bath and then make love until the party starts. Sounds like a plan to me. Hey guess what I found? Let me take a chance the bag with our toys in it. Yep which one would you like to use first? You pick my queen. Whatever your wish is my command. You are so freaky. Only for you. 105 It better be for only me. You know you’re the only one for me. Ok enough of this lovey dovey stuff. Let’s get his party started! I walked into the bathroom to fill the tub with mango scented bubble bath. Thinking about all the happy times Domi and I are going to have. I made a vow to God in that bathroom to always treat her like a queen. Domi the tub is ready. Ok babe I’m coming. She was standing on the balcony sipping on her drink. Looking like an angel that fell from heaven. She was so beautiful and she was all mines. Why has God blessed me so much? I have done so much wrong in my life. How did he find it in his heart to forgive me and send me angel. Well I’m not going to dwell on it. I am going to cherish her. And keep her safe from harm. Hey babe what are you daydreaming about? She snuck up on me and wrapped her arms around my waist. It felt like heaven I never wanted her to let go. I wanted to stay in her arms forever. We took our bath, made love for three hours. Then we got dressed and went down to the party. It was nice and the food was so good. We met several couples that seemed to be friendly and we ended up sitting with them. We talked to about two in the morning and excused ourselves. Then we made love some more and fell asleep. 106 Good morning sleepy head. Good morning Mal. What are you doing up so early? I wanted to take my baby shopping. Is that ok with you. Of course babe. Did you call Jr? He might know a few good spots that we could get some bargains at. Your right. Let me call him. I called Jr. while Domi went to go take her shower. He was free and said that he would meet us in front of the resort in an hour. He also promised to take us to a nice place for breakfast. We both got dressed and met Jr downstairs. Good morning you to love birds. Are you enjoying our island so far? Yes what little time that we have been out. Well I promise to make today a day you won’t forget. We started out first by going to this little local restaurant and having breakfast. It was so good. Ok ladies now that your bellies are full where to next. Or should I just lead the way. Hey this is your home you take us wherever you like. Ok no worries I’m going to show you the island that no other tourist has seen. He drove up a long winding road that seems to stretch forever. When we finally go to the top. I thought that I would faint. But it was so beautiful. We looked down and the water was crystal blue as far as the eye could see. And the air was so clean and crisp. He pulled over into this outdoor market place. We go out and walked around. I saw 107 about four dresses that I knew would look nice on Domi. I picked those up and a few bikinis for her. I also saw a few Mother of Pearl pieces that I wanted her to have. Mal! Look what I found. She came up to me running. What did you find babe? Well for starters I found four short sets that I knew would look great on you. But that’s not important. I found this office where they have the most houses posted in the window. Jr do you hear this? Yeah man I hear her. I guess you need to go look at those houses before she bust. Ok babe where is this office. Come on lead the way. But first can we put these bags in the car. Before my arm breaks. Ok babe but hurry up. Damn woman always rushing you. Just hush and move it. We put the bags in the car and headed over to the office. I had to admit that the houses where gorgeous but way out of our price range. We both just started our new businesses. And money would be tight for a while. Plus the prospect of starting a family would surely drain us even more. Domi I would love to purchase one of these homes but babe we don’t vacation like that. 108 I know babe. But I love this island. Don’t you? Wouldn’t you want to come back at least once a year? Yes babe, but to buy a house for this much for just once a year. It’s a bit too much. Let’s sleep on it. Fair enough Mal. We took her card and left. Jr said he had the most beautiful thing to show us. We walked back to the car and got in. He informed us that we might want to put on a bathing suit. I asked why. He said that it was a surprise. So we pulled over on a secluded road and got out to put on our suits. Ok you girls ready to go? Yes let’s go. We continued to drive turning off the air conditioning to smell the air. As we approached the spot where Jr was taking us I could her rushing water. He pulled over to the side and got out. Ok ladies are you ready to be in total bliss. Yes bring it on. I’m ready. Lead the way. We walked down this path and I wondered where he was taking us. I knew how island people felt about homosexuals and I was a little worried about where he was taking us. Ok ladies we are here. Close your eyes and prepare to see the most beautiful thing that you have seen in your lives. We closed our eyes and allowed him to lead the way. When we opened our eyes it was beautiful. More beautiful than I thought. It was a waterfall. We were at the bottom where the water touched the base so softly. As I looked up it appeared the top was touching the skies. It was beautiful. There were white flowers and tall palm trees 109 lining the bottom. It was simply breath taking. It made me Horney. I wanted to take my wife in my arms and make love to her in the worse way. I knew that this was her fantasy and I wanted to make it come true for her. But how could I with Jr there. There is a little private area down the path that you too can go to be alone if you want to. It’s the back of the waterfall. And there is a semi cave there. Damn where you reading my mind. I laughed. I guess I was but I can tell by the look in your eyes when you looked at the lady. Damn I need to learn how to hide my thoughts a little better. Its cool no worries. Jr laughed. It’s a beautiful thing when the next person can see the love in your eyes. Not too many people have that kind of connection. Cherish it and always keep it fresh. Oh I promise I will. She is the only person for me and I plan on keeping her happy for as long as she will have me. I plan on keeping you around forever so no worries. Domi laughed. Ok well you guys go and explore and I will be right here when you’re ready to leave. Ok thanks Jr; this was truly a nice thing that you are doing for us. And by the looks on that woman’s face over there, looks to me like you will be busy also. Well let me make my way over to her and make her day. He laughed. Go do your thing Bro. I laughed. 110 Domi and I walked along the path until we saw the back of the waterfall. There was a clearing where you could walk under the waterfall. We walked under it. Right where Jr said there was a cave. Well not really a cave but an alcove. That you could lie under. And watch the water fall. I laid the towel down and called for my queen to join me. I’m Cumming babe. Opps I mean coming. She laughed. No you meant what you said at first. And that’s what you will be doing when all is said and done. Umm well let me hurry up and lay down so I can get my tongue bath. I laid her down so tender and proceeded to make love to her in the softest way. I loved the way she squirmed and moaned. It made me so wet and turned me on. I could never get tired of hearing her. It was like a symphony to me and I was the violin player. Ready to strum another tune for her. I lost count on how many times I came. Just the taste and smell of her sent me into frenzy. My body convulsed as I licked her clit and sucked the cum out of her pussy. She made my body do things that I never thought was possible, I reacted in ways that I never knew was possible. Yes God had truly sent me my angel. Ok babe that’s enough. I do believe it is your turn. Hmm What! I came already. Now how can you deny me my food? You had your lunch and dinner. Now it is my turn. But baby don’t you think that we should be getting back. I mean Jr should be looking for us. 111 Umm I don’t think that he will be looking for us for awhile. He was looking at that woman like she was a steak and lobster dinner and vice versa. Your right about that. They did have lust in their eyes. So why are we talking about them and not enjoying this waterfall fantasy come true. I hear you Domi. Ok it’s your turn. Papi is all yours! She made love to me with a hunger that she has not shown for me before. I heard fireworks, bells, and felt stupid. You know that feeling where you feel that all of the liquid that was in your brain is drained. I felt so tired and drained after that. Ok babe lets go look for Jr. When we walked out of the path we spotted him. The woman that he had met had this look on her face. She looked like she was in pure ecstasy. They were wrapped around each other in the water. Hey Domi I think that they are still busy. Do you want to walk around and explore until they are done? Sure this place is beautiful. Domi I have been thinking about buying the house on the island. I think that this would a very good place for us to vacation. And bring our kids. Oh Mel do you mean it! Can we really? Anything for my heart. I guess we can have Jr take us around to view some houses. I really didn’t like the aura of that lady yesterday. Plus I don’t even think that she knows this island as well as Jr does. 112 You may be right about that. As a cab driver he has probably been all over this island. I guess he won’t mind taking us around. No I don’t think he will. We walked back around to the water hole and they were sitting on the side holding each other. He motioned for us to come over. We walked over practically skipping. We were both in heaven. Hey you guys I want you to meet Jasmine. Hey Jasmine how are you? I’m cool and congrats to both of you on your wedding. Thanks for the well wishes. Jr. we decided to purchase a house on the island. But we want it to be in a very nice area seeing that we won’t be down that often. And something that is not too expensive we both just started new businesses. Ok well since it is so late in the day what do you say that we start tomorrow. I think I know the perfect house for you. It’d right next door to mine. And I can keep an eye out for it while you are gone. That is perfect. So what's on the agenda for tonight? Well I was thinking that I take you to this restaurant that serves authentic food. And if you feel up to it a club. That sounds great. He drove us back to the resort and we took a long bath together, and talked about what kind of budget we would have for this house. I know that we need space. We talked about it and planned on having three kids. So space was what we needed the most, and then came safety. We needed the house to be in a safe place. Seeing that we would not be living there on a daily basis. Cost was really not at the 113 top of my list. Even though our businesses were picking up. It would still be hard to pay the mortgage on both houses. Mal? What are you thinking about? I’m thinking about what our life will be like in the future. Mal as long as we stay true to each other and never keep secrets then we should be fine. You are so right Domi. That is the key. Ok are you ready to get out and start getting ready. You know that Jr will be here to pick us up in an hour for dinner. Ok I’m getting out. I know how long it takes me to get ready. Wear that purple dress that I like so much. Oh I will with the silver sandals that you like. Are you trying to go out or are you trying to get attacked. I’m trying to go out. Then stop telling me what you’re going to wear. Ok I will I want to go out. Then get yourself ready and stop giving me mental pictures. I love you Mal. Love you to Domi. I sat down on the bed and thought about what I was going to wear. While she went into the other room to get ready. I knew that it would take her awhile to get ready. Typical female. I laid back and 114 reminisced about the wedding and the vows that we shared. I had the perfect woman. On the perfect island. Our businesses where taking off. We were about to buy a house on this beautiful island. Life was great. I thought as I drifted off to sleep. Baby! Wake up. Oh my God I didn’t even realize that I fell asleep. Don’t worry about it I put your clothes out. Just jump into them. I love you baby. You treat me so well. And you look gorgeous. But then again you always do. Thank you babe. Now close your mouth and go get dressed. She laughed. She was right my mouth was wide open and I was drooling. She looked beautiful. Just when I thought that she couldn’t get any more beautiful, she proved me wrong. I closed my mouth and went to rebrush my teeth and get dressed. When I came out Jr and her were standing on the balcony. Ok guys I’m ready to go. Oh baby you look so handsome! Thanks baby. Now your mouth is open. I laughed. We all left and walked to the elevator. Jr said that he was taking us to a restaurant that was not that far from his house. Hey why we are going that way you can take a look at my house and tell me if it something like what you are looking for. I don’t want to take you around to garbage if you have something specific in mind. It’s on the way to the club. 115 That sounds cool. I would love to see your house. We had a wonderful dinner of fish and vegetables. With the best tasting Pina Colada’s that I have tasted. And then we set out for the club and to view Jr’s house. We drove for what seemed like an eternity. The houses looked like mini mansions. I knew that we couldn’t afford one of these right now. We pulled onto another street and drove almost until the end of the block. Then we pulled into this long driveway and the house at the end was for the lack of a better word. Breathtaking! We got out and the first thing I asked was how do you afford this. I’m the prime minister’s son. I work as a cab driver because I like my independence. Oh now I see why you can afford this. I worked hard to save up the money and I did the construction on most of it. Most of these houses were tiny. And I have done most of the work on the majority of them. But they look expensive but they are not. As a matter of fact the house next door to mine is for sale. Do you want to take a look at it? How can we do that? I have the keys. Let’s go take a look. Cool. We walked over to the house and fell instantly in love. It was beautiful. It looked better then the house we purchased in Garden City. When we stepped inside it had a sunken living room, and a duel staircase that led upstairs. Behind each side of the stair case was two doors. One led to a huge gourmet kitchen. And the other led to the back of the house. Where the dining room was. There was also a family room complete with theater style seating and a large movie screen. Once you walked through that room, there were glass doors that opened to the back yard. Where there was an Olympic size in ground pool. And plenty of yard space that also held a brick 116 barbeque pit and grill. I feel in love instantly. But knew that with all of this we could not afford it. We went back inside and went to check out the upstairs. There were 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The master suite has a whirlpool in the master bath. And mirrors everywhere. Except for the large bay window that looked out over the ocean. Down another hallway were the maid’s quarters. I knew I had to have this house. I looked at the expression on Domi’s face and she looked like she was in heaven. And she was right; we could come anytime we wanted to. And raise our kids here. It was so peaceful. Ok I’m gonna do it. I will just have to work more hours. I thought to myself. Ok Jr I do believe that we are in love with this house. And my queen looks like she is in heaven. Do you have any idea how much this will cost me. Well for you two, how does $50,000.00 sound? Are you sure that the owner will agree to such a small amount for this. I said never knowing that this was his house. Yes I do agree to that price. I would not have said it if I wanted more. Plus I don’t want any more celebs and rappers living next door to me. There are too many on this block as it is. I like you two and yes I want you for my neighbors. We shook on it and said that I would have the money wired to him in the morning. He also agreed to be the grounds keeper for us while we were away. We loaded back into the car feeling like we were on top of the world. I was able to buy my queen her dream vacation home in cash. No mortgage or payments. All of my dreams were coming true. I took one more look at our new house and we headed out to the club. I expected to see this hole in the wall. But when we pulled up it was not what I was used to. It was even nicer then the clubs back in New 117 York. The club was in this nice glass building with a huge waterfall in the middle of the lobby. We walked throw the doors and heard reggae music playing in the background. Jr informed us that there were two floors. One played R & B and the other played reggae. We walked to the reggae room and headed immediately to the bar. I needed a drink after spending all that money. I ordered all of us Pina Colada’s and we headed for the dance floor. I was a little nervous about dancing with my wife. Knowing how West Indians felt about gay people. But Jr told me it was cool. They don’t mind here. So I took my lovely wife on the floor and we tore it up. Jr made an announcement that we are newlyweds, and everyone clapped for us when we walked off the floor. We partied to about seven in the morning. Oh my God do these people ever sleep. We got back to the resort and we took a shower. I set the alarm clock to wake me up so that I could call the bank. My baby laid in my arms and we drifted off to sleep. I dreamed of our life that was about to begin. And just when the dream was getting good the stupid alarm sounded. But it was worth it I looked over and there was my wife. She was the sweetest site of the day. Babe time to get up. I know but I’m enjoying lying in your arms. I’m about to call the bank and get them to wire the money. I still can’t believe that he is giving us such a good price. I know this is turning out to be such a wonderful honeymoon. We are starting off our lives on such a wonderful note. I agree things are really coming together for us. I am not looking forward to leaving. I wish that we could stay on the island for the rest of our lives. But we know that is not possible. Time to go back to reality. 118 I know babe but I wish that we could stay here forever and build our lives and businesses here. I wish we could also but you know we would not have the same amount of opportunities that we have in New York. That is so true. Well we will have to work double hard so that we can stack up some money and get out of there as soon as possible. Oh Jr said that he would be here in twenty minutes to pick you up. Thanks babe. What would I do without you? I don’t know maybe be unhappy. You are so right about that. Know get ready, you know how slow you are when it comes to getting dressed. I’m going mother, I’m going! I went to the bank and handed Jr. his money for the house. He assured me that he would look out or it while we were away. We ventured back to the hotel and he dropped me off. When I went upstairs I could not find Domi anywhere. Domi where are you? I called out. No answer. So I looked around. On the counter was a note for me to take off my clothes and follow the rose pedals. So that is what I did. My wife was truly a certified freak. But I loved it. Someone to match my own freakiness. I removed all of my clothing and did as I was told and followed the rose petals. They led me straight to the in room Jacuzzi. As I opened the door the delightful smell of mangos surrounded me. And lying in 119 the water was my beautiful oh so perfect wife. Beckoning me to come get in, the water was just right. I followed my instructions and seductively walked over to her. Once in the water, I gathered her into my arms and proceeded to give her the most intense loving kiss I could muster up. Before long we were both moaning. I lifted her onto the side of the tub and began sucking on her breast. First the right in slow circles I licked around her already erect nipples. Then I slowly nibbled on the tip until she was moaning and pulling me closer to her. I moved to the other nipple and repeated the same action. Domi began screaming out in ecstasy. I slowly planted soft and sensual kisses down her body. She began clawing at me like a wild animal. That was my key that she was ready for the grand finale. I lifted up her leg and gently placed it on my shoulder, while planting small kisses on her lips and thighs. Domi was moaning uncontrolably by now. I know if I didn’t get to the point soon she was going to push my head and make me get to it. I licked the inside of her lips, up and down. Then I sucked her clit into my mouth. Yes papi chula! You know how mami loves her pussy eaten. Letting go of the strong grip I had on her clit. I decided to tease her even more. Slowly planting small kisses on her clit, I knew I was making the tension mount in her. Licking slowly up and down, I could hear her protest through moans an heavy panting. Please papi stop teasing me! She spoke with bated breath. I removed my mouth away and watched as her clit swelled with anticipation of what was coming next. I clamped down and sucked harder and harder until she cried out and squirted all over my face. Slowly I slid her back into the tub. And we held each other until I heard her breathing coming back to normal. 120 I laid there not wanting to leave this moment behind. But I knew that we would have to return to reality soon. So I planned on enjoying this moment for as long as possible. Babe don’t you think we need to get out before we become prunes? Yes I think we should. We both realized that we had not had breakfast or lunch yet. Babe I am starving and I want to go shopping for the house. I have the keys. Shopping for what? Oh just a little furniture. Maybe a rug for the foyer area. And a tiny little grand piano/ Like the one I saw you looking at. Oh baby, do you really think that we can afford it? Yes babe. I know we can cause I have money put aside that I have been saving for a rainy day. So we should be good on spending. I have some money put aside also if it is needed. No baby I got this. Can you please let me make a home for my wife and kids? Of course babe. Can I at least pay for the appliances and linens then? Yes babe, you can do that. Thank you I was wondering if this was a partnership. 121 Of course babe it is. I just want to take care of my wife and make sure that she is happy. And worry free so it will be easy for you to conceive, when we get home. Oh my God babe! Are you ready for that already? Yes I believe that we are. Besides why put it off. You’re not getting any younger, I laughed. Mal I’m gonna get you! Domi yelled as she chased me around the suite. When she finally caught me she smacked me on the ass. Damn baby you need to do that more often I said flipping her over and laying on her. You are so fresh! I began to kiss her. When she flipped me over. Oh no Miss Lady we need to get dressed and go get something to eat before I pass out. Ok mother I’m going. Call Jr and let him know that we will be ready in a half. Already done. He is waiting for us downstairs. I wonder where he is taking us today. Who knows but wherever it is I know where in for an adventure. You are so right about that. We got dressed and went downstairs to meet Jr. I still couldn’t believe that this would be our last night in paradise. And in this time 122 we have renewed our bond. Brought a house. Talked about having kids. And now having talk about a baby. I know that is going to take time because we have to find a donor, a good clinic, and get tests done. All of these things I am prepared to do for my love. Hey ladies where will it be? We need a furniture store and to get some linens. But first how about some food. Ok I know the perfect place and it’s not too far from the stores we need to go to. We figured you would know the perfect place. Oh and do you know where there is a place that I can get a baby grand piano at? That’s over there also. No worries let Jr take care of you. You have all our faith, you haven’t steered us wrong yet. We headed to the shopping district and he took us to the best restaurant that they have on the island. This meal is on me. It’s to signify a new friendship and neighbor relationship. That sounds good to me. We ate and proceeded to shop for all of the things that would be needed for the house. Since we wouldn’t be around for the delivery Jr agreed to make sure he was there. We would return in three weeks to arrange everything. We said goodnight to Jr and went back to the room to pack. Our piece of paradise was coming to an end for now. 123 home 124 We arrived back home to a party and smiles from all of our friends. Welcome home biches. Brianna said with a hug and smile for both of us. I knew you would have something smart to say. Well am I gonna be an auntie. Said Sabreana. I tried but nothing yet. I laughed. You knew that was a joke before we left for the honeymoon. But if I was able to knock her up, you know we would have never come back. I would sell our story to every tabloid in the nation. We all sat around laughing and joking and talking about the island. We told them about all of the things that we saw. The people that we met. The great food and drinks. And the fact that we purchased a house. Umm excuse me you bought a house? Jalisa inquired. What made yall make such a move like that? Well I figured we are going to be together for life. So why not invest in the future. Plus you all know how we like to travel. So that will be our vacation home. Oh you know we definitely have to see this house. Brianna stated. Well our neighbor and caretaker Jr is getting it set up for us. So we will be returning in three weeks to oversee how we want it set up. You guys I can’t wait for yall to see it. It is the most breathtaking house that any of us has seen. And the best part is that it only cost us $50,000.00. 125 Are you kidding me! Sabreana said. Where can I find a house like that? Well as it turned out the one we bought it from was our cab driver while on the island. Ok a cab driver that can afford a house, let alone two houses. Where can I find me one of those? Brianna inquired. He wouldn’t want you slut. I laughed. Shut up you deep sea diver. Brianna said as she smacked me. Well he can afford it he is also the Prime Minister’s son. But as he stated he works for his. I hear that. Jalisa said. Ok now Jalisa when is the wedding? I asked. It’s in three months. And you know I really need all of your help. I am so nervous and my parents are driving me crazy. No worried Super Bitches to the rescue! We all laughed. We ate and laughed well into the morning. Finally Sabreana said; Ok ladies time to let these love birds get some rest. Sabreana before you leave we need to holla at ya. Oh my God she got ghetto, this must be important, she said to Domi. Shut up! On the real though. We are thinking about having a baby. And we need your input. Oh my God! Are you guys serious? 126 Yes we are. We figure why put off tomorrow what we can do today. You know what I mean. Well let me get right on this. You know it’s not my field but I have a doctor friend I can call and make an appointment for you two. But one question. Who is gonna carry? She laughed. Well you know it won’t be me. I can’t stand to look at a paper cut imagine me being pregnant. I would be a big ass baby. I laughed. Yeah you’re right about that. Ok well I will call first thing in the morning and get back to you. I love you guys and thanks for making me a part of this. You know you’re our G. we wouldn’t go to anyone else. Domi said. Ok well have a good night. Love you two. Love you two. We kissed her and I walked her to her car. When I came back in Domi was already cleaning up. Here let me help you. No you go make the bed. You know I like clean sheets. And while you’re at it, draw us a bath. Anything for my wife. Love you my queen. Love you to my stubs band. As I made the bed I felt really whole. I had a beautiful wife that everyone loved. And the perfect family. The only person missing was my mom. But I knew she was watching and happy for me. Her baby girl had it all. And life was bound to get better. We both woke up the next day at noon. Umm baby I’m starving. 127 How about some French toast and bacon? Sounds good to me. You go it. Domi went into the kitchen to make us breakfast. I got up and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I went into the office to check the voicemail and email. I could not believe it my case settled and they were sending me a check. It would arrive sometime today by messenger. I really didn’t think that I would get paid seeing that I quit. But I guess the firm was thankful for all the hours I put in on that case. I listened to the rest of the messages. Domi received over fifty calls for new clients. I had calls from my old clients that heard that I had left the firm an wanted to come with me. Plus they knew of thirty more people that needed a good lawyer also. Things were starting to look up for us. One day at a time. We spent the rest of the day returning calls and setting up appointments. The door bell rang and it was the messenger. I tipped him and went to sit down at my desk, which was right across from my lovely wife. I opened up the envelope and almost fell out. Domi come here please! What’s wrong baby? Can you please look at this and tell me if I am seeing correctly. 128 What is it Mal. It’s the settlement check. Oh my God! Are you sure this is correct? I’m not sure there is a note attached. Dear Malicia, No amount can compensate you for all of the hard work that you have put into this firm over the past few years. But I hope this is a start. Good Luck on your new practice. I hope this extra money will help out with expenses. Sincerely yours, Mr. Grayson Senior Partner In my hand was a check for $350,000.00. I began to cry, they really did value my work. Well maybe I can give back from time to time and co-counsel a case for them. I reached for the phone and called Mr. Grayson and thanked him. I also assured him that if he ever needed me I would be there. The phone rang again and it was Sabreana. With more good news. Hey girl what’s up? Good news she can see you in an hour. Good cause I just got a check for $350, 00.00 from my old firm. Girl are you shitting me! Hell no. I’m about to go to the bank before it disappears. 129 Well here is the address and good luck. Let me know how it turned out. I will love you girl. We hung up and I told Domi the good news and told her to get dressed. We headed over to the bank which was near the doctor’s office. Hello were here to see Dr. Stevens. Can you please sign in and I will give you these forms to fill out while you wait. Thank you very much. Look at all of these forms. Well you better get to work my queen. Why do I have to fill them out? Cause you actually write like a human being. Yeah you’re right about that. You do write like a lawyer. Yeah I do but you don’t have to agree with me so easily. Your right I could have held back. But it is so much fun teasing you. Oh yeah and I like the part where I get to pay you back. I said giving her a kiss. They finally called our name and we went in. 130 Oh my God can you believe all of the options that we have for this. Domi said as we walked out an hour later. Yeah we have a lot to think about. But I do like the clause that says if it doesn’t work the first time. Then they will keep trying until it does take. Yeah but we are going to have to find our own donor. I refuse to use those donors that they provide. Definitely not. You never know what you’re going to get. Well let’s get back home I have an appointment in an hour. Ok let’s rush back so my baby can work her magic and bring in that dough. Oh yeah your baby is gonna do her thing. We arrived back home just in the nick of time. Domi had just enough time to change into a suit. I ran in the kitchen while she got dressed and whipped up some Hors d’ oeuvre. I chilled a bottle of wine just in case it would turn into a celebration. Just then the doorbell rang. I showed the client in and sat her at the dining room table. What a lovely home you have here. Thank you very much. Dominique will be right with you. Domi move it the client is here. She came out in the blue skirt set that I loved. Babe you look sharp. I made some Hors d'œuvers and got your packet together. It’s right outside the door. Knock him dead. Thanks babe ok here I go. 131 I prepared dinner and went to get my packets ready for my meetings. I could not believe that things were going so good. Hello! Hey Sabreana what’s up girl. Why am I sitting here waiting for a call so I know what happened? Girl I am so sorry. We rushed back cause Domi had to be ready for a client. And the appointment ran longer than we thought it would. I figured it would be a long appointment. Tell Domi I said congrats. So tell me did she answer all of your questions? Yes she was very thorough. She told us about our options. How long the procedure could take. And the best part that we only had to pay a fee once until it takes. Girl the less money out your pocket the better. She laughed. You’re telling me. With the new house and the fact that Domi needs a new car is really gonna put a strain on our pockets. Plus starting to get our businesses off the ground. Girl I’m stressed Before it even begins. Yeah girl you have a lot on your plate. Well I have a patient coming in so I will hit you lata. Alright girl have a good day. Just as I hung up the phone, Domi came in screaming. I got her business! I got a five million dollar a year account. 132 Oh baby I am so proud of you. Look at my baby the business mogul. Yep look out world cause here I come! We ate dinner and I called Ron to make sure that the websites were up and running correctly. He assured me they were and that we were good to go. Yep our world was really shaping up. I can’t wait to see what is next for us. I looked up to the sky. I hope your baby is making you proud mom. To be continued…….. 133
