You Needed Me: A Love Story

by Shvonne Latrice

  “Eventually, but right now I was promised a job at a local salon, so I will be a waxing specialist there once I take my final.”

  “That’s dope.”

  Right when I said that, Dania walked by us, but there were two tables between us when she did. She then went back and sat down, before continuing to stare. I knew she was salty because I’d never taken her here, but she knew I loved it. I also knew she was here because she was hoping to run into me since I hadn’t talked to her in a couple days.

  I pulled my personal phone from my jean pocket, and then went into my texts to hit her up.

  Me: Get the fuck out of here right now. I ain’t fucking around and you know that.

  Out the corner of my eye, I saw her look down at her phone screen. She looked longer than she needed to, before getting up and rushing out dramatically.

  “So are you spending the night again? You have clothes at my condo now,” I smirked. “I have to do some work, but I will only be away for a couple hours.”

  “I guess another night wouldn’t hurt.”

  I was determined to make Matikah mine, and I would clear out anyone and anything who tried to get in the way of that shit. Hopefully, I wasn’t the one who got in the way of us becoming an ‘us’.

  Chapter Seven: Kimberlyn

  A few weeks later…

  Tonight the Quinton’s were having a party. It was the youngest brother, Britain’s birthday. Although a big time party, only a select amount of people were invited, which is why this was the first year ever that I’d heard about it, as well as all the other parties they threw. Unfortunately, I wasn’t invited by TQ, because he and I hadn’t talked in about a month. Lendsey and Matikah had gotten pretty close, so he told her she could bring anyone she wanted. I didn’t want to come because technically I wasn’t invited, and then to make matters worse, Matikah was coming with Lendsey. But thank God Goldie agreed to come, because she was gonna be my date for the night.

  “This is it? Damn,” Goldie giggled as she pulled into the driveway of a huge ass mansion. There were a bunch of luxury vehicles parked outside, and a few valet attendants.

  “I wonder whose house this is?” I questioned as I stared out the window.

  “You would know before me, you’re the one fucking one of them. Excuse me, I mean you used to.”

  “Thank you for reminding me,” I said as the valet attendant opened the door for me.

  “I don’t mean to be like that, Kimberlyn, it’s just I told you his ass wasn’t shit, and only good for some dick, but you refused to listen to me.” She shook her head as we walked up to the door to two big ass bouncers.

  We gave them our names, and let them know we were on the guest list for Matikah Jacobson, before he let us into the party. Immediately, we were greeted by some waitress holding a tray of champagne filled flutes. She had on the skimpiest outfit, but she filled it out well. Goldie and I took a glass, and bobbed our heads to “Tongue Out” by Smoovie Baby that was blasting.

  Although I didn’t want them to, my eyes instantly began scanning the room, looking for TQ. My heart began beating fast, and my stomach dropped as if I were on a big ass rollercoaster when I spotted him with some bitch in his lap. He was saying something to her, and another girl sitting beside him. I watched him grope them both while biting his sexy lip. He looked so good tonight in a black polo shirt, black jeans, black Nike Huaraches, and a black bucket hat. I hadn’t seen him in so long, and it was like I needed him. He sported a gold chain link watch with diamonds that I could see from a mile away, a gold bracelet, and a gold chain.

  “Let’s mingle, don’t get caught up in staring at him. You see he ain’t tripping off of you,” Goldie said. I nodded my head and then polished off the champagne in the glass.

  Tonight I was dressed simple but still sexy. I made sure to use the money given to me by TQ to get the works, which included my hair, eyebrows, nails, and even a full body wax. I got a massage too, so I was happy he hadn’t snatched his money back out. I was walking on sunshine until I just witnessed his hoe ass. Anyway, I had on a white dress that hugged my slim thick frame perfectly. It was just the right length, giving a perfect view of my smooth golden legs.

  “There’s Matikah,” I smiled and pointed to my cousin who was in Lendsey’s lap, smiling and laughing like she was living life. “Heeyyy!” I walked up and she stood to her feet to hug Goldie and me.

  “Hey, you guys look nice. Did Grandma say anything about me not coming home last night?” Matikah whispered to me, and I shook my head ‘no’ as I grabbed another flute containing champagne. I needed all the alcohol I could get.

  “Nah, she knew where you were. Did you guys…?” I raised a brow.

  “No, almost, but no. No offense but, after the way TQ played you I’m a little scared to go that far. I feel like as long as we don’t fuck, if he leaves I will be good.”

  “Thanks for that, Tikah,” I chuckled, although I was real fucking irritated. Not with my cousin, but with my dumb ass choices.

  “This party is crazy!” Goldie smiled as she eyed Britain. She liked him way more than she let on, and when she finally admitted that to herself, maybe she would get off my head about TQ.

  “It is,” Britain licked his lips as his eyes ran amuck all over Goldie’s body. He looked like he was a dog, and I knew he was. I was just waiting for him to bark. I mean, why was his girlfriend never at these events?

  Britain was cute as fuck just like his three brothers. He was light skinned, had dreads, a lot of facial hair, dimples, and those same pretty blue gray eyes. He was about 6’5” like his brothers, and was built like a muthafucka.

  “Hi Kimberlyn, Goldie, nice to see you guys again,” Summer stood up to hug us. She was so pretty and I loved that she kept her dreads intact.

  All of us began to make conversation, and as I was getting to know Summer, TQ came up with a whole new bitch under his arm. She wasn’t even one of the girls he was with prior, but she was really pretty too. She had brown skin, a long ass expensive weave, DD-cups, and a big butt that I could’ve set my glass on.

  After dapping his brothers up, this nigga had the nerve to say, “Hi Kimberlyn.” He flashed his gorgeous smile at me, and that one dimple appeared. His bluish gray eyes were glazed over, letting me know he was lit, and his caramel complexion was vibrant as always.

  “Hey,” I waved lazily before turning my attention back to Summer.

  “Hype” by Drake came on, and everyone began to dance with someone; even Goldie was freaking on some random, and the other bitch was working on TQ. I was so mad that I knew if I squeezed my glass any harder, it would burst.

  I just sat there like a fool, before pulling my phone out to scroll on Instagram. Some guy came and stood by the velvet rope, and flailed to get my attention. He was a nice looking guy, but he was no Tarenz Quinton. Nobody was as good looking as him, except his brothers, and still TQ was number one to me.

  “Wanna dance ma?” he asked.

  “Sure,” I half smiled and got up.

  We made it to the middle of the dance floor in the huge ass mansion, and before I could even press my ass against his pelvis good, I was being snatched the fuck up by none other than TQ. He pulled me through the crowd, and down some hallway that had a door, which he closed right after.

  “What the fuck? Why did you pull me back here?” I frowned and folded my arms. Little did he know, I was happy to be getting any of his trifling ass attention.

  “So you gon’ dance on old boy like I’m not here? That’s disrespectful as fuck, shorty,” he grinned and clasped his hands at his pelvis. Why the fuck was he so bomb?

  “Excuse me? Do we really wanna list shit that’s disrespectful, TQ? How about the fact that you were in South Carolina with some bitch! Or the fact that you were just all up on three different bitches in a matter of an hour!”

  “Aye! Who the fuck you yelling at, ma? Lower your muthafuckin’ voice and show me some fuckin’ respect up in here! You better act like you know, Kimberlyn, do
n’t nobody raise their voice at me!” he hissed, and the floodgates between my legs broke.

  “Sorry,” I said as I backed away from him slowly.

  “I tried to explain to you what was going on that night, but your hard headed ass wanted to hang up the fucking phone and shit! You lucky I ain’t come through your hood and bust a cap in yo’ ass for being rude as fuck!”

  “I-I’m sorry, TQ,” I whined, praying he didn’t kill me. His sexy face was knotted up like crazy, so I knew he was mad.

  “I was about to go to bed, but my fucking brothers invited some hoes over. One of them was on me and that’s who the fuck you heard, Kimberlyn. I told yo’ ass beforehand that if you were gonna be mine, you were gonna have to be mature, have my back, and ride for me. Having my back is believing me when I tell you some shit, or at least giving me the chance to! I ain’t scared of no got damn body but God, so ain’t no reason for me to lie to you, aight?”

  “So you didn’t sleep with her or anyone that night?”

  “Yep! I did! I had a foursome with some pretty ass bitches in that hotel since you wanted to act like a little ass baby!”

  “Fuck you, TQ! I knew you would be doing shit like this.” I tried to walk around him, but his tall sexy ass kept moving around, blocking me. “Let me by, I’m done here.”

  “Oh you done?” he moved closer to me, making my breath become shallow.

  “Yes.”

  He backed me into the wall, and ran his strong tattoo covered hands up my dress while kissing me hungrily. I missed the nights we shared where he would show me all the things he enjoyed in the bedroom, and talking to him about the places he’d traveled and the people he’d met. He would even speak Russian for me sometimes.

  He gripped my ass, and then began running his fingers across my center. I moaned softly into his mouth as he kissed me, letting our tongues dance. Suddenly, he lifted me up after unbuckling his pants, and then slid me down onto his dick after moving my flimsy thong to the side. He had me pressed against the wall, so I was forced to take every powerful stroke he delivered.

  “Who you done with?” he asked me, squinting his eyes as he thrust into me slowly. There was no reason why something should feel this good.

  “Nobody,” I whimpered like a little child as I felt my orgasm building.

  “I missed my pussy,” he grunted and sucked on my neck, which made me cum immediately. “I can tell you’ve been saving it for me.”

  “I have,” I said before planting kisses on his lips.

  He sped up his pumps, and soon enough he was filling me up with his semen. Once we caught our breaths, he slid out of me, and let me down slowly. We then went into the bathroom together to clean ourselves up.

  “You forgot a condom,” I said in a low tone as I wiped between my legs.

  “You’re coming home with me tonight?” he ignored my statement, as he buckled his jeans back.

  “I can, I just need to get some clothes from my grandma’s.”

  “Nah, you got some shit that I bought you still at my crib.” He washed his hands.

  “I thought one of your new hoes would’ve taken it or thrown it out,” I scoffed. He turned around and backed me into the wall so fast that my foot shifted to the side. That shit hurt!

  “What kind of nigga do you think I am?”

  “Huh?”

  “Seriously, honestly. What kind of punk bitch ass mark do you think I am, that I would allow some bird to be throwing shit out of my condo like she lives there.”

  “Well, when girls see my Dove body wash, they may not have wanted to fuck with you,” I smiled and so did he as he stared down at me.

  “Nah, they don’t care. I always get the pussy no matter what, except when with you, because you had rules for me. I kind of liked that.”

  “Can we leave now? I want you to show me some more ways to please you.”

  He raised a brow in response as if he was saying oh word?

  Without another peep, I washed my hands and then we left out. I said goodbye to my cousin and Goldie, and I saw they both were giving me half smiles since I was holding hands with TQ’s crazy ass.

  As we were leaving, I peeped Gang, Peel, and Peel’s girlfriend, Hayden, staring at us. Gang was wearing a deep scowl, and funny enough, so was Hayden. I followed her eyes, and they were definitely on TQ. Something was up with them, but right now I didn’t care. I wanted to celebrate being back with my boo.

  Chapter Seven: TQ

  I woke up next to Kimberlyn, and a smile spread across my face. I missed her ass but I wasn’t about to go begging and pleading and shit like some bitch nigga. Especially when she was the one on that bull. Honestly, I was done with her little pretty ass, but when I saw her at the party I knew I wouldn’t be able to end it. It was easier when I didn’t see her, but as soon as I did, I knew I had to have my shorty back.

  I climbed out of the bed, and grabbed my phone up before going into the bathroom to shower. Once I was clean, I brushed, flossed, and rinsed, then went to pick out my outfit. My dad texted me last night saying to come over ASAP, so that’s where I was gonna go, after I ate some Cheerios though.

  As I was eating, my system let me know someone was buzzing to be let up into my condo building. I frowned because I had no idea who it was. Only a select few knew where I lived, which was a mistake, but I didn’t care since it wasn’t people I worked with. Most bitches knew better, and would never try no shit with me.

  I walked to look down out of my window, and saw it was Hayden’s ass standing down there with her arms folded. I chuckled as I remembered her watching me leave with my shorty. Walking back to the bedroom, I shook Kimberlyn lightly until her eyes opened. She covered her naked body with the sheet, and then ran her fingers through her hair.

  “I will be back in a little bit, aight? I got some shit to handle. If you wanna go somewhere, the keys to my G-wagon are by the door. If you crash it, I’m gonna crash that pussy. Actually, I’m gonna do that anyway, so have fun,” I said making her laugh.

  “Okay, don’t leave me all day.” She laid on her back as I walked to the bedroom door.

  “I will do my best.”

  By now, Hayden was going dumb on my buzzer, so I grabbed my keys and phone before heading down. When she saw me walking out of the building, she stepped back so I could open the door.

  “Fuck you doing? I’m leaving,” I stopped her from trying to walk in.

  “Is she up there?” she grimaced.

  “Who?” I hit the alarm on my BMW 750i, and began walking towards it.

  “The little girl that you stole from Gang, TQ.”

  “Oh, why does it matter where she is, Hayden? You know better than to question me, don’t you?”

  “Yes, but TQ, what the fuck? I haven’t seen you in a week!”

  “You just gave me some head four days ago, ma, what is you talking about?”

  “And as soon as you came you made me leave!” she yelled louder than she’d intended to, prompting her to glance around to see who might have heard her.

  “The point here is that you said you hadn’t seen me, which you have. What you want from me? Where ya damn man at? Shit, I need this nigga to take you off my hands for a bit. You supposed to be his bitch but you stay in my face like you’re mine.”

  “I want to see you tonight.”

  “Tonight ain’t gon’ work.”

  “Okay, what about tomorrow night.”

  “Aight, I got you. Don’t hit me up though.”

  “Okay babe,” she giggled and then rushed to her car.

  To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t even gonna hit Hayden up, I just said that to get her out of my sight. Strangely, Kimberlyn was enough for me.

  I made it to my parents’ home about thirty minutes later. I typed the code into the gate, and then drove downward to park underground. When I got inside, it was quiet, so I knew my mother and sister weren’t there. Walking to the den, I put my phone on vibrate so it wouldn’t disturb whatever the fuck we were about to discus
s.

  “Sup pops,” I said to my father and sat down.

  “Tarenz, who is this girl you’re interested in again?” he squinted his eyes, trying to remember.

  “Why?”

  “It was brought to my attention that she belongs to someone else TQ, and that may cause some problems for me.”

  “So Gang ran to you like a little bitch because I took his girl?” I chuckled and shook my head. “I don’t know what to tell you.”

  “TQ, you’re not in love, we know that. Just give the girl back to the boy so we can continue making this money.”

  “What did he say?”

  “He said he would look for another distributor. I could easily kill him, but he makes me a lot of money and I don’t want to do that. Now, just send the girl packing, and all will be well.” He lit his cigar.

  “Nah, I can’t do that.”

  “Seriously, son? You want to cause us to lose money over a girl that you don’t even care for?”

  “Don’t worry about what I care for. I want her and I’m gonna keep her. Gang is gonna have to suck it the fuck up. I don’ made my mark on shorty anyway, she wouldn’t dare go back to him even if I did want to let her go.”

  “You’re in love,” he chuckled and puffed on his cigar.

  “Are we done here? I have some shit to handle and take care of.”

  “Yeah we’re done, but I mean it, TQ, get rid of her so we can get back to business. I don’t wanna lose big money over some pussy that you claim you haven’t even fallen in love with.”

  “Bye, Pops.”

  I left out and got in my car to think for a second. I refused to give Kimberlyn up, not only because Gang wanted her, but because I wanted her, and bad. She was mine, and wasn’t shit about to take her away from me. I needed her it seemed.

  I sped home, and when I walked into my condo, she was on the couch watching TV. She was wearing a red dress with no straps, and I could see up her smooth thigh. Walking over to her, I got down on my knees to look up into her pretty face.
