I Got Your Back- Teflon & Tatiana’s Love Story

by Shvonne Latrice

  Me: Strip club?

  Merce: Nah, watching a movie.

  Me: Nigga you’d rather watch a movie than see some pussy?

  Merce: Kind of, I gotta little something over here.

  Me: Savannah’s bougie ass.

  Merce: Nah, Tatiana’s friend Jadynn.

  Me: Oh, fasho. Enjoy.

  I shook my head with a smile at my boy. I was low-key jealous that he was able to chill with Jadynn, since Tatiana had played me to the left. She straight put that fire ass pussy on me and dropped me, just like I be doing these hoes. I guess I deserved it.

  I text my cousin Groove to see if he was down and since he was I went ahead and got dressed.

  Tonight I was gonna make sure I forgot about Tatiana. I was done with that bullshit. I was a thug and thugs didn’t sit around crying over some pussy they didn’t even know like that. No matter how good it was and no matter how dope the chick was.

  * * *

  “Aye, I wanna talk to you.” Groove sipped his beer as we watched this thick white bitch dance on stage. She reminded me a lot of Ice-T’s wife Coco.

  “About?”

  “A job.”

  “Shit I’m all ears. I definitely need some work, you know that.”

  “Come back to work for Brevin man. Wait… let me talk. I know you don’t fuck with him because of what he did to his girl, but you have to remember that’s his girl, Teflon. You wouldn’t want some nigga trying to tell you how to treat Kayla, right?”

  “Man, I fucked around on Kayla I didn’t beat her.”

  “I mean Brevin don’t even be hitting her like that, he just gets rough with her sometimes and if he’s drunk he may do extra.”

  “Extra? You call beating her until she lost her damn baby, extra?” I frowned and looked over at him. I was about ready to whoop this nigga’s ass right now.

  “Tef, I get it. He was foul for that, but my point is that Tatiana is his woman, not yours, not mine, and not Merce’s. Just get paid and look the other way.”

  “I can’t just look the other fuckin’ way and you shouldn’t either.”

  He was quiet, so I glanced over at him to see he was wearing a confused expression.

  “Tef, please tell me you didn’t fuck his girl.”

  “I don’t know what you’re talking about, my nigga.” I shook my head repeatedly as I gulped some of my beer down.

  “I ain’t never known you to give a fuck about what another nigga was doing with his bitch, but now you’re willing to give up a fat paycheck for Tati?”

  “It’s not for her, it’s the principle.”

  “Did you fuck her, Tre’Wayne?”

  I knew he was serious because he used my first name. I didn’t want to tell him, because I didn’t want to talk about it. I wasn’t worried that he would tell Brevin, because Groove was my cousin at the end of the day and he knew better. But out of respect I didn’t want to put Tatiana out there like that.

  “I haven’t touched her; I just don’t like what he did. If he was just cheating that’s one thing, but I can’t stand around and watch a nigga pulverize a woman that’s a quarter his size. The girl is fucking 5’1, one hundred pounds soaking wet! He has no business putting his hands on her!”

  “I agree, totally! But just get the money. And Tef I know you, so if you haven’t fucked her you plan on fucking, or you want to at the least.”

  “Nope.”

  “Well just think about getting back on. He’s open to the idea and remember he’s paying $30,000 minimum.”

  “Mhm.”

  I wasn’t paying this nigga any mind. I wasn’t working for Brevin and that was the fucking end of the shit.

  We chilled in the club for a couple more hours and finally, I was leaving, but not without a companion. This bitch named Rebecca, who was stacked like a muthafucka, couldn’t wait to get in my bed, and I couldn’t wait to bend her ass over and go to town.

  We made it to my place about fifteen minutes later, arriving at around 11pm. I was low-key hella twisted, so I was happy I didn’t drive. Uber was a lifesaver right now.

  “Make yourself comfortable,” I told her as I led her to the living room.

  “This place is beautiful,” she giggled. I gave her a fake one back, because Tatiana was still on my mind.

  I was gonna pour us some drinks, but I was drunk enough already wanted to get to fucking. I planned to never see her ass again so no need to make conversation.

  I walked up to Rebecca as she sat on my couch smiling and began to caress her hair. She immediately caught on, because she began unbuckling my jeans. Reaching into my boxers, she released my dick while I took my shirt off.

  “Damn,” I grumbled as she began sucking me up.

  I let my head fall back as she went to work on me, letting her spit flow freely. I massaged her hair, but quickly stopped when I felt something hard under it. I’m guessing this shit was a weave, but I wasn’t sure.

  As I was getting close to busting my nut, someone started beating on my door. I tried to ignore it and continued humping her face, but the person was relentless with their knocking.

  “Fuck!” I hollered, sliding my dick out of Rebecca’s mouth.

  I stuffed myself back into my pants and darted towards my door to look through the peephole. The person standing there caused my jaw to drop and my heart rate to speed up. Tatiana.

  I cleared my throat and looked around as if I would be able to find something on the floor to help me with this situation. She knocked again and I was surprised that such a small girl had so much strength. I finally took a deep breath and opened the door just enough to let my face peek out.

  “Tati, it’s almost midnight.”

  “I need to talk to you,” she sniffled, wiping tears from her eyes. I couldn’t turn her away, but damn if this wasn’t the wrong time.

  “Okay—“

  “Teflon!” Rebecca called out, making me close my eyes in irritation.

  “Move.” Tatiana barged in past me walking fast as fuck like she was really about to do some shit with her little ass.

  “Rebecca—“

  “Go! Get the fuck out, bitch,” Tatiana cut in.

  “I didn’t know you had a girlfriend, Teflon—“

  “Well now you know bitch, so go!”

  “You ain’t gonna keep calling me a bitch!”

  “Bitch.” Tatiana got her little ass in Rebecca’s face, so I picked her up from behind and held her in my arms.

  “Rebecca, go. Please.”

  Rebecca stared at Tatiana, as I held her in my arms. She shouted obscenities and threats as Rebecca made her way out. She reminded me of those Shih Tzu poodles that never stopped barking and didn’t care how big the other dog was.

  Once Rebecca was out the door, I placed Tatiana to her feet. She shoved the shit out of me and I stumbled back even though her ass was no bigger than a minute. I just walked away to lock up.

  “What the fuck is all this for?” I barked, coming back from locking my door.

  “Why did you have her here?”

  “Are you serious right now?” I chuckled angrily, because I couldn’t believe she was mad about another bitch being in my crib, while she had a fiancé she wouldn’t leave.

  “Yes I’m serious! So you just sleep with every girl you run into?”

  “No, I don’t. Tatiana, baby why are you mad? You have Brevin, yet you’re here at my crib causing a ruckus at nearly midnight.”

  “You haven’t even called me!”

  “I don’t have your damn number!”

  She paused for a moment, staring at me before we both chuckled together. She finally plopped down onto the couch and stared down at her hands while fidgeting. I made my way over to her and kneeled down so that I could look up into her perfect face. When I moved her short brown hair behind her shoulder, I saw a deep bruise on her collarbone.

  “Is this why you’re here?” I brushed my thumb against it and she swiftly moved away.

  “That’s old.”

&nb
sp; “How old?”

  “A week.”

  “And you’re still with that nigga.” I stood to my feet and paced the floor. I was mad all over again. She came over here with this bullshit, kicking muthafuckas out of my spot and for what? So she could use me for the night and go back to her nigga? Fuck that shit. “Look Tati, you gotta go. I’m sleepy.”

  She picked her face up and my chest started to tighten. Despite the few tears that traveled down her face, she was still beautiful. I wanted to yank her ass off my couch and throw her out of my spot but I couldn’t.

  “Let me just stay here with you tonight,” she sniffled, standing up. She was so small, that it was almost comical because I was much taller and more muscular.

  “And then what happens in the morning?” I didn’t like the way she had me feeling. My mind and train of thought was all fucked up over her. She shrugged as a response, making me scoff. “Tell me. What will happen in the morning? You’re gonna wake up and run back to his ass? Tell me!” I hollered down into her face even though I didn’t mean to.

  “I can’t just do what you want me to do! I don’t even know you and you want me to leave my fiancé for you!”

  “At this point Tatiana, I don’t give a fuck who you leave the nigga for, as long as you leave! And if you’re gonna stay and let him continue to fuck you up, then please don’t seek me again.”

  Tatiana

  I stared up into Teflon’s face as he panted angrily. I understood where he was coming from one hundred percent, but it was more complicated than that. It wasn’t as easy as it sounded and honestly I didn’t know Teflon. Yeah he was a nice guy, handsome as ever and all that jazz, but so was Brevin when he wanted to be. And to make matters worse, Brevin was the king of Cleveland. Teflon and I would only last for a hot second before something happened to us. There was a lot to think about and I wanted him to understand that.

  “Tef, leaving Brevin is more than leaving him.” I sat back down and he followed suit.

  “What?” he scowled, looking sexy as hell.

  I tied my short curly hair up into a bun and then removed my jacket since I was a little hot.

  “Leaving Brevin means that he may kill me, us and whomever we’re affiliated with. You have to remember that he would never just let me go that easily.”

  “Ain’t nobody scared of him.”

  “I know. I know you’re not. But a lot of people are and they will do whatever he wants them to do, including harm me. Is that what you want?”

  “What I want is for you to let him go. I’m not saying to be with me, because frankly I don’t know if I’m ready for all of that yet. I just don’t want him to do anything to you that could be fatal, Tati.”

  Him saying that he wasn’t ready to be in a relationship with me felt like a punch to the stomach. I knew I wasn’t ready to just move from a fiancé to another man, but I guess I assumed he wanted me more seriously. His statement just proved why I couldn’t make any rash decisions right now, like leaving Brevin and shacking up with him as friends.

  “There has to be a plan in place, Tef.”

  “What?” he furrowed his brows again.

  “You have to have a plan, or help me devise one so that I can leave.”

  “The only way he’ll let you go with no problems is if he’s in the damn ground and I know you don’t want that.” I didn’t say anything so he looked to me and asked, “Do you want that?”

  “I wouldn’t ask you to do something like that.”

  “You don’t have to.”

  I just nodded.

  “So can I stay here for the night please?”

  “Yeah.”

  We both stood up, but before I could move, he was kissing me and taking my hair down. He tongued me down with so much passion, that I couldn’t do anything but stand there and reciprocate. We undressed one another slowly, before he scooped me up and carried me to the bedroom. Placing me on the bed, he walked off and went into the bathroom to do something. I heard water running and stuff moving, before he finally emerged.

  “You okay?” I asked still lying under the covers naked.

  “I just had to wash old girl off of me.”

  “You fucked her?”

  “I got a little bit of head, nothing more.”

  I stayed quiet as he climbed under the covers and got in between my legs. We made eye contact as he placed my legs in the nook of his arms, before kissing my lips gently. I felt some type of way about having sex with him when there was no commitment and technically, I was still with Brevin, but I wanted this. I loved the way he made me feel, not just in bed but overall. It was way better than Brevin had ever made me feel.

  “I lied Tati,” he groaned as he plunged into me while sucking my neck. That was too much pleasure at once.

  I was moaning so I couldn’t really respond to him. I hadn’t slept with Brevin since before I miscarried, so Teflon was the last person I’d had sex with.

  When I was finally about to say something, his lips crushed against mine, while his big hands groped me everywhere possible.

  “I want you to be mine baby,” he grumbled.

  “Tef,” I moaned, letting my hands rub up and down his strong back.

  He continued to slide in and out of me with precision, while kissing me passionately. I didn’t know what to say to him or how to answer. It wasn’t that I didn’t want him, because believe me I did from the moment I first saw him. It was just that I was unsure. All that I was sure about right now was that I wanted out with Brevin and to be able to live my life freely once he and I were over.

  Teflon lifted himself up, placed one hand on his headboard while the other gripped my thigh. We moaned loudly together as he rammed into me, sweat dripping from his sexy face and body. We were both drenched, but too into the moment to stop and cut the air on.

  “Ahh, uuuh, aaah!” I called out as he continued to pummel my center. I knew I was gonna be sore in the morning.

  “Mmm, fuck.” He tucked his lips in, slowing down his pumps. Finally, he slid out and helped me up. “These are so small,” he chuckled before taking my nipple into his mouth. “I love them though,” he said before forcing his tongue down my throat.

  Once he pulled away, he placed me on all fours, and pushed into me. Taking my hair into his hands, he thrust into me nice and slowly, making me cry out every single time. I shivered from releasing, which only made him moan. After hitting my spot slow motion style, he picked up his pace, beating it up until we both came. I stayed in the same position as he kissed all over my back, sucking certain places that made me quiver.

  “Tef, you forgot to pull out,” I whined.

  “I’m sorry,” he mumbled, continuing to kiss all over me.

  We had no business fucking raw when we didn’t even know each other, but for some reason every time we did it, we went without.

  We finally caught our breaths, so we got out of the bed to go shower together. It ended up turning into another round before we for real washed off and returned to the bed.

  “Are my breasts really that small?” I questioned as I laid on his chest, circling his tattoos with my fingers. I already knew the answer because people used to make fun of me and say I had two backs in high school.

  “I mean you’re not flat chested, but they are the smallest I’ve ever seen. I like them though. I like everything about you, especially your legs. It’s not much of them, but they’re sexy as hell.”

  “Really?” I picked my head up and smiled at him. He nodded with a serious expression. Brevin always told me I was beautiful, when he wasn’t insulting me, but he never pointed anything out specifically. Not that it mattered I guess… but then again I guess it did matter to me.

  “Yeah really. I love when you show them. I love your body. Your butt and breasts may not be big and you may be short, but you definitely have a little meat on you. You’re perfect.” He looked deeply into my eyes as he always did.

  “Thank you—“

  He pressed his l
ips against mine and we sucked one another’s for a few before finally pulling away.

  “I’m serious about what I said baby, it’s not just because I was inside you.”

  “About being with me?” My head was resting on his chest again.

  “Yeah. And believe me I know it’s crazy because we just met and shit. And not only are you in a relationship, but I just ended a serious one too. However… I just can’t help how I feel. After our hotel stint, you had me on some other shit these past few weeks.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “You had a nigga sitting in the corner nursing a bottle in the dark,” he replied and we both chuckled.

  “You may not believe me, but I was miserable too,” I admitted.

  The past couple weeks of being away from Teflon and not talking to him were killing me. I tried to make myself get over it by remembering that I didn’t know him that well to be yearning for him, but it never worked. Every time I closed my eyes, I would think or dream about him. I would reminisce on our time together so hard that I would forget where I was going or what I was doing.

  I’d never missed someone so much in my life. It was almost as if I’d become dependent on him in just that short amount of time. I felt unsafe without him living in the house anymore and angry at the thought of him entertaining another girl. I eventually became fed up over tossing and turning every night because I couldn’t get him off of my mind. That’s how I ended up over here at almost midnight.

  “I’m happy to hear that shit low-key. I thought I was the only one bugging.”

  “No,” I whispered. “I was going through it too. My chest ached every time you crossed my mind, because I thought I would never see or talk to you again.”

  “Damn, it’s the same with me.” He sucked his teeth. “Fuck does all that shit mean?”

  “Have you ever felt that way about someone else?” I pressed my chin into his chest in order to stare into his eyes.

  “Never. I’ve never felt like a certain woman could tell me to jump and I’d ask how high. But with you, it was almost like I was waiting by an imaginary phone for you. Hoping you would call me.”
