Three Is A Crowd

by Chenell Parker

  “Are you sure about this Jersi? We don’t have to rush. I’m good either way,” Memphis said as he looked down at her.

  In response, Jersi wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down on top of her. He kissed her for a few minute before he used his mouth to explore the rest of her body. Jersi arched her back upwards as Memphis used his tongue to make a trail down her body. He stopped at her breast and gave them some attention before he planted soft kisses on her stomach. When he stopped at her freshly waxed middle, he licked his lips before he dove in head first. Jersi was expecting him to tease her for a while but Memphis wasn’t there to play.

  “Oh fuck!” Jersi screamed as she looked down at him like she was confused.

  It felt like three different people were between her legs but it was only him. Memphis used his fingers and his mouth simultaneously and she had never felt anything better. He used his tongue like a snake and glided in up and down her wet opening as his fingers explored her walls. When she grabbed the back of his head, that seemed to encourage him to bury his tongue deeper.

  “Ummm,” Memphis moaned like he was enjoying it just as much as she was.

  The vibration from him humming on her clit added to the pleasure that Jersi was already feeling. The nigga was a professional pussy eater and there was no other way to describe him. He got paid to go down on bitches and Jersi was almost sure of it. He must have had hoes writing checks to get serviced and she was ready to pull out her check book.

  “God, Memphis,” Jersi cried out as she felt an orgasm building in the pit of her belly.

  She came harder than ever before and her legs shook violently. Her body felt weak but Memphis didn’t seem to notice. He gripped her hips tighter and went into savage mode. His head moved rapidly and his fingers moved just as fast. The same lips that Jersi said were too big when they first met were now one of his best assets. It felt like his entire mouth was covering her mound and the sensation was driving her crazy. She had never come some many times before and her body was starting to feel the effects. Besides Blake and Carter, no other man had ever gone down on her before. Now that Memphis had done it, she realized that she had been getting the short end of the stick. He was like a tongue surgeon and Jersi was being operated on.

  “Memphis, wait,” Jersi said as she weakly tried to push him away.

  “You taste good as fuck,” he mumbled with his mouth still connected to her.

  “You have to stop,” Jersi begged.

  “I can’t stop,” he replied as he flicked his tongue rapidly.

  He was sucking her from the inside out and she was too feeble to push him away. Jersi felt like she was no longer in control of her body and she didn’t like that feeling. She looked up at her ceiling and saw what appeared to be black polka dots. It felt like the room was spinning and she was scared. Memphis was oblivious to what he was doing and he kept right on going. She felt another orgasm on the horizon and her heart started beating out of control in her chest. She was screaming for him to stop in her head but the words never came out of her mouth. Jersi’s belly tightened right before he eyes rolled behind her head and everything faded to black.

  A few minutes later, Jersi felt something cold gliding across her forehead. She opened her eyes and saw Memphis standing over her with a worried expression on his face. He was wiping her face with a wet towel but he seemed relieved when she opened her eyes.

  “Shit, girl you scared the fuck out of me,” Memphis said as she sat on the bed and pulled her close.

  “What the hell happened?” Jersi asked.

  “You checked out on me is what happened,” he replied.

  “Huh?” She frowned in confusion.

  “You passed the fuck out and had me shook up in this bitch,” Memphis noted.

  “This is so embarrassing,” Jersi said as she covered her face with both her hands.

  “What’s embarrassing about it? Shit happens and I’m that nigga,” Memphis bragged. He laughed when Jersi looked over at him and frowned.

  “Nothing like this has ever happened to me before,” she confessed.

  “That’s because you never ran across a nigga like me before. See, I gave you the full package instead of easing you into it. You wasn’t ready for all that just yet though,” Memphis continued to joke.

  “Oh God. Now I’ll have to listen to you brag about something else,” Jersi groaned.

  “You already know. Head game so vicious, I got you blacking out and shit. I’m glad your ass woke up though. Nigga ain’t never been to jail and I wasn’t trying to go. Shit, I don’t even know what they would have charged me with,” he replied making Jersi laugh.

  “Killer head,” Jersi said as they both laughed at her joke.

  “But seriously, you feel okay?” Memphis asked her.

  “Yeah, I’m good,” Jersi replied as she sat up and grabbed her dress.

  “Okay, now admit it,” Memphis said once she slipped her dress back on.

  “Admit what?” Jersi asked.

  “Admit that I’m that nigga. I ain’t never heard of no shit like that happening before. I’m a fucking beast,” Memphis bragged.

  “I need to ask my daddy about that,” Jersi said.

  “Ask him about what?” Memphis questioned.

  “I need to ask him about what just happened,” Jersi replied.

  “Girl! Why the hell would you ask your pops about some shit like that?” Memphis asked as he looked at her sideways.

  “I don’t hide anything from my parents. Besides, he’s a doctor. Maybe he can tell me something,” Jersi shrugged.

  “Oh yeah, you did say that your pops is a doctor. Ask him if he can prescribe me something for being that nigga,” Memphis laughed.

  “Why me?” Jersi sighed as she fell back into the bed.

  “Get up girl. I’m just fucking with you. What you got to eat up in here?” Memphis asked.

  Jersi got up and he followed her into the kitchen. She was happy that her mother went to the store because she had lots to choose from. She ended up fixing burgers and fries while Memphis sat in the kitchen and kept her company. She enjoyed talking to him in a personal setting and she wasn’t ready for him to leave. Since he had to be at the gym for six the following morning, she really didn’t have a choice.

  O ver a month had passed and Jersi seemed to be feeling Memphis more each day. They still hadn’t made things official but she enjoyed their friendship. After the first near death experience, nothing sexual had gone down between them. It bothered her that he was possibly seeing and sleeping with other people but she was only assuming. She couldn’t even get mad because she was still stringing Blake along too. Blake was doing just what she wanted him to do and fell head over heels in love with her all over again.

  “Did you hear me?” Ariel asked her over the phone.

  “Huh?” Jersi replied as she came back to reality.

  “I said did you ask him about it?” Ariel said, repeating her earlier question.

  “No and I feel weird about asking. I mean, we’re only friends so I can’t get mad,” Jersi replied.

  “But you still deserve to know if there is somebody else. You can try to front all you want to but your ass is catching feelings,” Ariel said, calling her out.

  Jersi pressed the massage feature on the pedicure chair and moved her feet around in the warm water. She was telling Ariel about some of her feelings toward Memphis and her friend was giving her some advice.

  “I know but I can’t do nothing about that Ariel,” Jersi sighed.

  “True, but if he has somebody else you need to know before things go any further. Like seriously Jersi, what kind of man doesn’t want to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Mike be ready to show off and go all out for me,” Ariel noted.

  “He got me some stuff but I couldn’t get mad if he didn’t. He’s not my man,” Jersi replied.

  Memphis stopped by her house the day before Valentine’s Day and dropped her off a few gifts. Jersi was scared as hell when he showed up
with a seven foot tall teddy bear with her name personalized on the t-shirt that it had on. She had to put it in her spare bedroom because she couldn’t sleep with it in hers. He also got her some perfume and had an edible arrangement delivered to the job on the actual day. Although the gifts were thoughtful, she hadn’t seen or heard from him at all that day. Not even a reply to the text message that she sent him until the day after. He acted as if it was normal to go MIA on a day that lovers or would be lovers united. That sent up a bunch of red flags for her.

  Blake, on the other hand, went all out. He had a chef come to the penthouse and prepare them dinner and a masseuse gave them a couple’s massage. Mariah blew his phone up all night but he didn’t go home until the following night. He laid Jersi out with gifts while his wife probably cried herself to sleep.

  “And why hasn’t he invited you to his house yet? He’s always at yours and he’s even stayed the night before,” Ariel continue to ramble.

  The more she talked, the more foolish Jersi felt. She was usually more observant but Memphis knocked her off her square. Him and his bomb ass oral skills were clouding her judgement. She was barely able to work out with him without lusting. The shit was just pathetic.

  “You’re right Ariel. That nigga is living foul as fuck,” Jersi replied.

  “As much as I hate you being with Blake, at least the nigga goes all out for you,” Ariel said.

  “Girl, fuck Blake. No pussy eating, weak stroke having, fuck boy,” Jersi spay angrily.

  Before Memphis, she thought that Blake had the best head game ever. Now, she barely wanted him to touch her. Jersi was always faking sick just so she wouldn’t have to sleep with him. He was okay as long as she let him go down on her but she didn’t want that anymore either.

  “Damn bitch, tell me how you really feel,” Ariel laughed.

  “I’m so happy that things played out the way they did. I could have been the one in Mariah’s shoes if they hadn’t,” Jersi noted.

  “I can’t see him doing you dirty like that. He’s obsessed with you if you ask me,” Ariel said right as Jersi’s phone rang.

  “Thanks Ariel. You just talked his bitch ass up,” Jersi frowned when she saw that Blake was calling her.

  “I have to go anyway. My lunch break is over,” Ariel replied right before hanging up.

  Jersi still didn’t answer Blake’s call but Carter called her right after. She hadn’t see much of him outside of work because she was always with Memphis. She was giving him all of her time and attention and he wasn’t even her man.

  “Hey Carter,” Jersi said when she answered the phone.

  “Hey, I got the stuff for you for the test. Are you home? I can drop it off to you right quick,” Carter offered.

  “I’m not home yet but I should be in about another hour,” Jersi replied.

  “Cool, I’ll meet you there. That’ll give me enough time to get the kids ready,” Carter said.

  “Aww, you got your babies again?” Jersi asked.

  “Yeah man and this bitch is making my life miserable already. I’m stressed and I miss the fuck out of you. But I’m happy that you and dude got shit straight though,” Carter noted.

  That was one of the things that Jersi liked about him. Carter wasn’t a hater. He was real and he gave it to everyone straight. He never tried to pressure Jersi to be with him. He had been kicking it with somebody else, so he would probably be replacing her soon anyway.

  “Okay Carter, I’ll see you in a little while,” Jersi said before she hung up.

  Once she was done with her pedicure, she got her nail polish changed and her brows shaped. When she left out of the salon, she sent Carter a text telling him to be on his way. It took her about ten minutes to get home and Jersi’s mouth fell open in shock when she did. Not only was Carter’s car parked out front near the security gate, but his wife was there too. She was out of the car screaming for him to open the door. Jersi had never had that kind of drama, especially around her house. She pulled her car next to Carter’s and got out. When he saw her, he got out of his as well.

  “This is the bitch Carter? Huh? This is the hoe that you’ve been having my kids around? You fucking your co-worker nigga,” Miracle yelled.

  “I’m sorry Jersi. I didn’t even know that she was following me,” Carter apologized as he handed Jersi what he had for her.

  “Don’t apologize for me nigga. Give me my kids. They ain’t going to another woman’s house,” Miracle fumed.

  “Get away from my car Miracle. This is my weekend and you don’t dictate what I can and can’t do with my kids,” Carter replied calmly.

  Jersi thought it was funny as hell when she saw his son in the back seat recording everything. He was probably sick of his crazy ass mama too.

  “Open the door and take them out,” an older woman said as she stepped out of Miracle’s car.

  Miracle started trying to opened the door but it was locked. She was yelling for her son or daughter to open the door but they ignored her.

  “That’s just why you’re alone and miserable now. Keep listening to your mama and you’ll stay that way. Sorry again Jersi. I’ll call you later,” Carter said as he got back into the car and almost ran his ex-wife and her mother over when he pulled off.

  “Stay the fuck away from my husband,” Miracle spat as she looked at Jersi.

  “Only if you stay the fuck away from my house. And he’s your ex-husband so he’s free game. I would hate to have you and your mama arrested but I will. At this point, it’s called trespassing,” Jersi replied as she got into her car.

  She didn’t pull into her gate until she made sure that Miracle and her mother were gone. She was happy that her and Carter’s arrangement had come to an end. She liked him as a friend but she could do without his crazy ass ex-wife and her mother.

  Mariah sluggishly walked down the aisles at Target, getting everything that she needed for her house. She had to do laundry and she wanted to whip up a quick meal for when Blake came home from work. Her girls were spending the night with Eva and she was happy for the break. She had been feeling sick to her stomach lately and she already knew why. The tracker on her phone showed her that her cycle was two weeks late and she couldn’t be happier. She didn’t want to take a test just yet but she had a feeling that she was expecting baby number three.

  It happened much sooner than she thought and she knew she couldn’t have been that far along. The ovulation kit that she had been using was a Godsend. She’d stop taking her pills and she and Blake had a very active sex life. She wasn’t ready for another baby but she felt like she didn’t have a choice. There was no way in hell she was going to let that bitch Jersi give her husband a baby. It was bad enough that she suspected that they were fucking around at all. She didn’t have any proof but her intuition never led her astray. Blake swore that she was delusional but she wasn’t stupid. He had become an entirely different person and she suspected that Jersi was the reason. Their marriage hadn’t been the same since Christmas night when he lied to get out of the house. She pushed her basket down the next aisle and rolled her eyes up to the sky when she saw Talena and her ghetto friend, Felicia, standing there. Felica was Damien’s sister and she never did like Mariah.

  “Hey step sissy,” Talena smiled.

  “Bitch please. I’d die if I had to walk around looking like you and Tabby,” Mariah spat.

  “Why so angry? I only said hello,” Talena giggled.

  “What are you doing in here anyway? Family Dollar is usually your store of choice,” Mariah said.

  “Let’s not forget that you use to work there hoe,” Felicia reminded her.

  “You basic hoes kill me always trying to remind somebody of their past. Y’all hate to see a bitch come up. Step y’all game up and do better. It’s that simple,” Mariah shrugged.

  “Bitch you lucked up and trapped the right nigga. Ain’t nothing special about that. And stop acting like shit is so sweet. I already know what it is,” Talena laughed.

  “
I can’t believe that you’re still bitter after all this time. Damien has been home for years and ain’t tried to get back with you once. He didn’t want you then and he obviously doesn’t want you now. I saved you from becoming a single mother. You should be happy that you lost that baby,” Mariah spat, angering the other woman.

  “Bitch!” Talena yelled as she lunged at her. Felicia held her back but she was trying hard to get to Mariah.

  “Why so angry?” Mariah asked throwing her words right back at her. “I did you a favor by telling him to end things while you were still in the hospital.”
