Once Upon a Liar

  “Fuck!” I screamed. My gas light came on with only two miles from my house left to drive.

  Huffs and puffs released from my lungs with clouds of invisible steam blowing out of my mouth. After witnessing Brilese on bitch mode, I just wanted to get home! I wanted to crawl in my bed and binge watch the show, Shameless. As the nearest exit approached, I signaled my right blinker before causing my car to tilt from my high speed as I pulled off the highway. I pressed my foot on the brake to slow down, as I pulled up to the red light.

  After reversing and pulling my car back to the solid white line slowly, the red light finally turned to its green signal. I turned left off of the exit, and drove a half of a mile down the road to the Citgo station. I steered my car into the middle lane, and waited for the traffic to clear. I pulled into the gas station once I was able, and stopped my car at pump five. The ignition was off and I grabbed a twenty dollar bill from the middle console.

  “Twenty on five, please,” I said to the Arabian male once I entered the store. He took the money from my hand, and told me to have a good day as he activated my pump.

  I strode across the parking lot toward my pump after I exited the store. After uncapping my tank, I released the lever from the nozzle before inserting it into my vehicle. I waited impatiently as I watched the gallons increase after selecting the lowest grade, 87. My leg shook in anxiousness, until all of my money’s worth filled and I returned the nozzle to the machine. I recapped my tank and attempted to hop back into my car… until I was paused by what looked to be the devil.

  “In a hurry?” Bradson chuckled after he rolled the window down and asked. He had Brilese’s car t-boned with mine… allowing me to comprehend his words as he sat in the driver’s seat.

  “This is why Brilese is being a bitch!” I screamed into the car at him after I ran to the passenger’s side. I couldn’t believe she let him back in after the second child he had behind her back! And to make matters worse, she chose him over me?

  “Brilese will always be my lady,” he whispered as his alcohol filled breath pierced my nostril hairs. “Not yours,” he concluded.

  I could feel the steam blowing from on top of my head, after I was forced back from him speeding from the parking lot. I cringed my teeth as flames shot through my soul. He laughed at me like I was a fucking joke! There wasn’t a doubt in mind he had been taking all of her time for the past few weeks! He was the reason she turned on me, and I couldn’t let him have the last laugh.

  Brilese

  I stood in the doorway as I admired Karleiyah and Zirko sleeping in their bunk beds. The peaceful energy that filled my soul made me feel nothing less than a tremendous mother. My babies were full from my famous chicken casserole, and they were relaxed from the lavender baby lotion they were moisturized with after bathing. I chuckled from the force of the fullness in my heart. Before turning the switch off, I blew their dreams a kiss. I turned away from the room and planned to gather my clothes for my shower. But instead of being able to enter my room, I was met halfway in the hall.

  “Daddy’s turn,” his low and deep tone forced my pussy to pulse, and panties to scrunch in between its lips. My bottom lip folded under my teeth. My eyes wandered from his full sized lips, and down to his dick print showing through the cotton towel as he stood in front of me. My breasts became tender as I could feel my nipples begin to harden. Without hesitation after he removed the towel from around his waist, I dropped my knees onto the hardwood floor. I stared at his nine inch wood before lifting my hand from the floor to grip it. I tightened my palm, and welcomed his head into my mouth.

  “Mmm,” I moaned, after forcing the chocolate candy down my throat. I inched my mouth back toward the tip, before he reached his hand down to the back of my head. Saliva drenched his dick, and began to drip onto the floor as he forced my head back and forth. With each stroke, I felt his head enter my throat, and soon felt his veins begin to pulse.

  “Shit Brilese!” he screamed, causing me to quickly pull away from him. I focused behind me toward my kids room, in hopes they didn’t wake up.

  “Shhh! You’re gonna wake the k-,” I was silenced from the connection of his lips against mine, as I stood in front of him. Kisses from him were my weakness. No other man was able to give me the sensational feeling he could.

  “My turn,” he whispered after he released his lips from mine.

  His hands massaged from my shoulder blades, and down until reached my waistline. He entered both hands beneath the elastic band on my leggings, and cuffed each of my ass cheeks into his palms. My pussy walls began to contract, and I could feel myself becoming wet. He lowered himself while inching my leggings down my thighs. Once the fabric gripped my ankles, I kicked my feet through and slid them to the side.

  “Uhhh,” I moaned when he leaned his body over, and placed his tongue on the lower end of my inner thigh. I panted in suspense as he slowly moved upward with his tongue, before a drop of arousal fluid released from my pussy. As the juice dripped into his mouth, he slurped it in as he approached my groin area.

  “Mmm,” he sounded, and cut his eyes up at me.

  “Uhhh!” I loudly moaned once his lips were gripped to my clit. Vibration from his tongue flicking me caused my legs to begin trembling. As he increased the speed, he pushed his mouth further into my pussy; my legs weakened and my back fell against the wall.

  “Please,” I forced the word to softly roll from my tongue. I looked down at him. Staring back at me, he caused me to whisper, “fuck me.”

  He entered both hands in between my thighs, and gripped under each ass cheek before sliding me up the wall. His feet were planted on the floor, and my legs dangled from his arms. To help keep my balance, I grabbed the back of his neck and he pressed his body against mine to hold me in place. He slid his hands from my ass, and down until he was able to hold my legs from underneath my knees. He inched his chest back once the position was firm, and slid his dick into my soaking wet, tight pussy.

  “Cum again for daddy,” he whispered in between a deep stroke, as he stared into my eyes.

  “Ohhh!” I moaned loudly. My body began to tingle from the upcoming orgasm, and seconds before releasing oceans on his dick. His speed increased, but slowed down once I felt his semen fill my box.

  “What happened to waking up the kids?” he smirked after he let me down.

  “Shut up!” I laughed and playfully punched his arm. We walked into the bedroom, and cuddled our satisfied bodies together once we were laid down.

  After giving Bradson one more chance, emotions between him and I were growing stronger than ever before. Things weren’t official as far as him moving in yet, although he hadn’t left since he arrived. His car had to go into the shop once the radiator and a few other things gave out, so we had been sharing my car. Besides, with him being home I knew he couldn’t have been out busting nuts everywhere. For the first time, I felt he wanted to change his ways.

  Alynn hadn’t tried calling me in over a month. I don’t know what changed from the last time she was at my house, but I wasn’t complaining. As bad as it may sound, I would choose him over her any day. Four years of connecting with Bradson overpowered the year her and I had together. Of course I missed her a bit, but I couldn’t have her around Bradson and I.

  Nine months ago, I introduced the two when I visited Alynn in Charlotte. She told me about how live Thursday night parties were, and begged months for me to join her and other college students. One day, I decided to take a Friday off work and give the night a shot. My kids grandmother offered to drive from White Oak to babysit since it was a school night. I would have taken them to her house, but she insisted on bringing them to school the next day. She never got the chance so it would be a memory for all three. I agreed.

  My kids were bathed, tucked in, and kissed goodnight, before I decided it was a good time to head to Charlotte. After I said goodbye and thank you to Ms. Brown, I walked out of my front
door with my Aeropostale bag in hand filled with all of my belongings. I wiggled the handle to make sure the door was locked before hopping into my car, and making my way toward Charlotte.

  When I arrived at her dorm, Alynn was dressed in her black bodycon dress and a pair of spiked, hot pink stilettos she bought from Fashion Nova. Her blonde hair was parted in the middle with a french braid on each side. The natural makeup she put on her face complimented her pale skin tone beautifully. She completed her look with a cuff bracelet, and hoop earrings to match the golden spikes on her shoes. She looked amazing.

  “Take a shot first!” Alynn said, after closing the front door behind me once I was in.

  Judging from her bubbly personality, she had to be at least four shots into the bottle of Ciroc Pineapple. I watched her pour a shot and a half into a red solo cup as I kept my place. Once she sat the bottle back on the counter, she returned next to me. She handed me the cup, and I cheered with hers before forcing the liquor down my throat. Afterwards, I followed her to her bedroom after confessing that I still needed to shower.

  “You’re one fine ass momma!” Alynn complimented. I walked onto her bedroom’s carpet from the bathroom once I was fresh, and dressed fully.

  “Right?” I agreed. My all white denim shorts covered half of my thigh, but the tightness held my ass an inch higher than normal. The midnight black shirt hugged my waistline and tied behind the neck. The open back of the shirt allowed my back size dragon tattoo to show. I put eye shadow and mascara on my eyes, and glossed my lips. I decided on styling my hair in a messy bun, and it complimented the outfit and makeup well.

  I sat on the edge of her twin sized bed as she left the room. I leaned over, and picked the sandal heels from the floor to put them on. Once the straps were tight around my ankle, I stood and caught my balance. It had been so long since I wore heels!

  “Last shot and I’m good to go!” Alynn said as she entered the room with two cups in her hand. After forcing the liquor down our throats one more time, we grabbed our things and headed for the door.

  KiKi,

  Do you love me? Are you riding?

  Say you’ll never ever leave from beside me

  As soon as we entered the club, I found myself dancing to Drake’s song, In My Feelings, as it blasted from the DJ booth. The disco lights and drunk young adults increased my desire to party. I grabbed Alynn’s hand and brushed through the crowd until we approached the bar. Since Alynn wasn’t old enough to drink yet, I ordered for me and her… which continued throughout the night. We danced our hearts out, and took pictures with strangers until it was time to leave at two in the morning.

  “I need some dick!” I slurred, as Alynn and I waited outside of the club for our Uber. We opted out of driving since we both knew we wouldn’t be able to get back.

  “Let’s pick one then!” Alynn laughed, while pointing to the crowd of college students who were still exiting the club.

  “Aht, aht,” I said as I waved my finger in her face. “I have a mannnn,” I concluded.

  “But Bradson is here now, right?” she reminded me. I was so intoxicated that I almost forgot where I was.

  After seventeen calls, Bradson finally answered the phone and agreed to come pick Alynn and I up. The Uber was only two minutes away when we canceled, but seeing Bradson was worth waiting a little more. The club cleared, and we stood alone along the empty Charlotte streets. But twenty five minutes into waiting, Bradson was pulling up to the curb in his Fusion.

  “You didn’t tell me you were coming to Charlotte,” Bradson greeted, after I got into the passenger’s side of the car.

  “Surprise!” I laughed. He gave me a side smirk as Alynn was putting her seatbelt on in the seat behind mine.

  “I’m Alynn!” she introduced herself, after she leaned in between the two front seats.

  “Nice to meet you,” Bradson said, and leaned toward the drivers door.

  I motioned for Alynn to sit back in her seat, after I noticed him trying to move away from her. Ten minutes later, we pulled up to the dorm building to let Alynn out. Although I was drunk, I was still sober enough to know not to bring her with me. I needed some good ass sex, and preferred to have it without interruptions from her oblivious actions.

  “Goodbye Bradson,” Alynn said, after she placed her hand on my man’s shoulder. I cut my eyes toward her, and she removed her hand from him. If I wasn’t drunk, I would have noticed the wink she gave him before she got out of the car.

  “She’s just drunk, babe,” Bradson said, as I stared through the windshield watching her run down the breezeway. I knew she was drunk, but a drunk person speaks a sober mind. Since that night, I knew it would be a choice of either him or her.

  * * *

  Ring! Ring! Rin-

  I was awakened by the loud alarm clock at five thirty the morning after Bradson fucked me in our hallway. I stretched, and removed the sheets from me before getting out of bed. I stood in front of my oak wood dresser, and turned the power switch to turn the alarm off. The loud annoying sound was replaced by Bradson’s snores; never would have I thought I would enjoy that again.

  I looked back at him laying sound asleep in the bed, and my heart filled with fullness. Through all of our trials and tribulations, our souls were finally aligned. I wanted him home forever. I made my mind up that I would talk to him about moving his things in again. I snapped myself from the daze, and headed out of the room.

  After dragging my feet into the kitchen, I pulled the coffee can from the cabinet and loaded the filter of the coffee machine. I ran water into the pot until it was six cups full. I poured the water into the back of the machine after shutting the faucet off, and returned the empty pot onto its metal plate. Once it began to brew, I turned to open the fridge and pull the french vanilla creamer from the shelf… but was paused by a light showing from outside of my blinds.

  “What the fuck?” I whispered aloud, after I peaked out of my blinds.

  There was a car I never saw before sitting at the curb in front of my house. The light I saw appeared to be coming from a phone the person was staring down at. The sun hadn’t risen yet, so it was hard to tell what color the car was. The make and model was also blurry, but I could tell it was some sort of luxury car. Before I could make out a face, the driver noticed me and sped off of my street. My heart sunk. Who could be watching me, I thought.

  Bradson

  “Babe, someone was parked outside of our house about an hour ago,” Brilese said as I walked into the kitchen. She poured coffee into a mug, and let the cup down in front of me as I sat at the table.

  “And? Probably visiting the neighbors,” I replied, before taking a sip from the mug. With her having anxiety issues, it wasn’t new for her to overthink things.

  “Do you see a house across the street?” she asked while staring at me. Without wanting to get up, I sat and thought about the surroundings of the house. She was right. The only other two houses on the street were at least a quarter of a mile away from hers.

  “Did you get the make and model of the car?” I asked, once I raised a brow myself.

  “Not really. All I know is it looks fancy. Almost like a newer model Mercedes,” she stated. There was only one person I knew that had a luxury vehicle, and that was Merrisah. Since her parents owned a real estate business, they bought the car for her and Kash to get around after he was born. If it was her, how the fuck would she know where I was at?

  “Don’t overthink it. Just get ready for work so we can get our day started,” I said to Brilese.

  * * *

  Once the kids were off to school, I dropped Brilese off at work. I kissed her goodbye, and watched her enter the doors to the hotel before pulling off. As I drove down Galleria Boulevard , my brain racked. My car was at the shop so Merrisah couldn’t have attached a GPS or some shit. If she had, it would have led her there; not to the house. The thought of the shop giving an address was out of the question. Besides, I used the address to the apartment
in Charlotte.

  The clock on the radio read, 8:43, when I pulled back into Brilese’s driveway. After I parked, I grabbed the key fob from the door panel and pressed the push button to turn the ignition off. I hopped out of the car, and walked to the front door. Since Brilese got the spare key from Alynn back, she gave it to me to use. I pulled it from my dark wash Levi’s and used it to enter the house.

  I locked the door behind me and returned the house key, and the car fob back into my pocket. After taking my iPhone out of my jeans, I allowed my body to fall back onto the couch. I had limited options in finding out if Merrisah came by, with social media being one. Since I wasn’t on any of the sites, I created fake pages in hopes I would find something out.

  First, I found Brilese’s page. She only had professional pictures and posts related to the vinyl work she created on mugs in her spare time. From what I could see, the only picture I saw of herself was the profile picture on Facebook. She didn’t post her kids, or me. Unlike Brilese, Merrisah and Kaylen’s pages had numerous photos of their whole family, including pictures of my kids.

  “Tuh,” I sounded. She knew I didn’t like that shit, and probably only did it to piss me off. After over an hour of scrolling through the sites, I had nothing. There was no explanation on how the bitch knew where Brilese lived! Without any other options, I called Matt.

  “It’s Brad. Give me a call when you can bro,” I left a voicemail. Even though I quit the warehouse to stay with Brilese, him and I kept contact. He was like an older brother to me so it was only right. I put my phone on my chest and closed my eyes as I waited for him to call back.
