The Ultimate Fight

by Harris, K

  “Hey guys.” Mya faked an effort in being overly nice to them.

  “Hey. You’re looking…” Toby started but stalled.

  “Like you might pop any day now.” Davey finished.

  “I’m close to that big day.”

  “We. We are close to that big day.” Barron bit his lip seductively when Mya looked over her shoulder at him and blushed. He chuckled at her flushed expression.

  “That’s enough love birds. Let’s get this celebration on the way.” Thomas added rubbing his hands together.

  ~~~~~~

  They arrived at the restaurant of choice for the celebratory dinner. It was filled with pretty much the well to do people in all kinds of industries. Music, entertainment, models, the works were in the building. By it being reservations only, it posed a more intimate setting than most other places. Thomas reserved the room in the rear because he had no doubts that his brother would be the victorious one. Every so often the family would catch Toby or Davey giving the couple horrified glances. If it wasn’t such a messed up situation they would have laughed at them right away. Barron and Mya would often zone out of the conversations of the table to embrace, looking deeply into one another’s eyes.

  “Excuse us, are we interrupting anything?” Everyone heard a male voice ask.

  “Damon?!” Mya jumped up going to hug him. He embraced her careful not to squeeze her too tight. “Tracy!” She left Damon to go to Tracy.

  “What’s up bruh? Wonderful fight.” Damon said to Barron as they embraced in a man hug.

  “Thanks man. How does it feel to be on the outside of the ring watching instead of putting them hands to use?” “Hey Tracy.” They did the man hug thing as well.

  “It feels weird I was telling Tracy the same thing throughout the fight.”

  “Yes he was but you did your thing out there boy. Straight whooped ole boy’s tail.”

  “What are you two doing here? And why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Mya asked pouting.

  “We missed you too shorty.” Tracy teased.

  “Because it was a surprise.” Barron said.

  “Well that I am. Come on guys join us.” Mya said. “Everyone this is my best friend Damon and his fiancé Tracy.”

  “Fiancé?” Toby asked incredulously.

  “Yes fiancé, is there a problem?” Damon asked with a warning glare. His only response was a shake of the head.

  “Well congratulations!” Everyone recited.

  “Congratulations go all around I see.”

  “Mom, Dad! I didn’t know you guys were going to be here.”

  “Surprise number two.” Barron said.

  “Barron! What is up with all these surprises? You are the one who won something not me.”

  “Says who?” Tracy said lowly but Mya heard him.

  “What are talking about?”

  “Nothing.” Damon nudged Tracy who apologized with a shrug. Everyone was all smiles accept for Davey and Toby who were just confused by the whole ordeal.

  “Come on and sit down, let’s keep the celebrations going. Looks like we have a lot to celebrate.” Sheila said practically jumping up and down in her seat.

  “Now that everyone is here, I’d like to have everyone’s attention.” Barron said standing up from his seat. “I’m glad everyone that is important to me could be here for this joyous occasion.”

  “As you all know, Mya and I are so close to bringing a little person into the world that will link us all together from this day forward.” Everyone nodded. “I keep reflecting over everything that has happened since I first laid eyes on this beautiful little tender right here. Some bad and some good but I want to make things better.” Barron said all while looking at Mya with a certain something in his eyes. Everyone awed. Pulling Mya to a standing position, Thomas moved the chairs back to give them some room.

  “Barron, what are you doing?” Mya asked really confused just the way he pictured.

  “Mya not even winning tonight’s fight could make me happier than if you agree to become my wife.” Mya gasped but remained silent. “Marry me?” The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

  “Barron…” Mya started but stopped. Maybe this was a part of the act that he didn’t tell her about. She said she would do anything to sock it to these birds. “Yes of course I will.” Even though he didn’t say anything about love. This was probably going to hurt like hell to go back to normal after they sock it to their enemies but she said she would do anything to help him. Obviously that includes living the dream if only for a little while.

  “Yes?” Barron questioned to be sure.

  “YES!” She reiterated. He slid the beautiful diamond ring onto her finger and then wiped the tear from her face. Mya hadn’t even realized she was crying until he did that. The look on his face donned with complete seriousness, she was almost convinced that he meant every word. That this was actually happening. Then he kissed her affectionately and dotingly, engrossing her entire being into the act. When they parted Mya had a hard time remembering what day it was let alone what else was supposed to happen.

  “Congratulations!” The whole family was giving out hugs, the mothers were crying with tears of joy. The fathers were commended him on a job well done.

  “Yo, what’s up with this shit?” Davey whispered to Toby.

  “Man this is some bullshit.” Toby said to no one in particular. The older people were too busy in their own conversation to have heard the outburst.

  “Don’t act brand new play boy. I read your card already.” Tracy said successfully gaining everyone’s attention.

  “What the fuck you trying to say?” Toby shot back.

  “You know exactly what I’m referring to. Quit being a QUEEN and congratulate your friend.”

  “A what?” The older women asked.

  “You trying to call me gay.”

  “I ain’t trying to call you nothing. If it walks like a duck…”

  “Then QUACK, duck!” Damon added.

  “I’m wondering why you have such a problem with your boy finding happiness.” Ebony said. “Oh wait, tell me you not crushing on baby boy?”

  “You know he likes women right?” Jamie added.

  “What the hell are they talking about dude?” Davey asked Toby. “Are you…” He made a disgusted face.

  “Of course not, you know me better than that.” Toby said but he wasn’t fooling anyone including the fool next to him.

  “Aww poor baby still living in denial I see.” Ebony cooed.

  “Y’all finna take the word of some faggot y’all just met over mine. I’ve been around for forever.”

  “Exactly he’s technically a stranger, what would he have to gain from lying or falsely accusing you of being something you’re not?” Thomas asked.

  “I don’t have to take this shit. Obviously this bitch got you so gone you not even gonna take up for your boy, that’s messed up B.A. I’m out!” Toby expressed overdramatically like the true feminine punk he was before standing. He was so outraged that he didn’t see a fist zoning in on his face until it was too late.

  “Call my sister another bitch and it’s gon’ get a whole lot worse.”

  “Well damn, he said he was out but now he is literally OUT!” Tracy joked causing everyone’s shocked expression to warp into pain from trying to contain their laughter. “Good hit fam.” He turned his attention to the one hitter quitter champion of the room.

  “So Mr. Anderson, I’m assuming everyone in your family has some one-hitter quitter tendencies because of you.” Damon added jokingly.

  “You could say that and please call me Barry.” He chuckled.

  “Damn bro, maybe we need to change spots.” Barron said.

  “Big Jim, Leo, get this piece of shit out of here.” Thomas called to the security guards that was trying to contain their own chuckle to remain professional.

  “And all that from crunching numbers? I’m not buying it.” Mya commented giggling herself.

  “Y’all thought I was playing when I told y’all my husband has a short fuse. Don’t let the smooth taste fool you. He is a quick whip.” Jamie said rubbing her husband’s back trying to relax his stiff body.

  “I apologize everyone for my outburst.” Shane said. “Calling Mya out of her name just sent me over the edge.”

  “No apology necessary cause I warned him about calling her out of her name before. Actually I should thank you because it would have been bad for me to do the same.” Barron said honestly.

  “Shit if you wouldn’t have, I would have.” Thomas said.

  “Me too.” Every other man in the room said except for Davey who they noticed must have slipped out during the commotion.

  This was not going according to plan at all. First B.A. pulls this bullshit proposing to that broad, then Toby gets ousted about being gay. What the hell was going on? Davey was wigging out about the new chain of events. When Shane punched Toby out cold, he saw more to come so he slipped out when everyone was stunned. There was no way in hell he was going to be brought up on his wrong doing before he was prepared. Everyone in that room seemed super protective over that cow on his side. He had to do something to stop this from continuing any further. Davey thought about just sucking it up and pretend to be happy for him but something just wasn’t letting that idea fester too long.

  If he did pretend to be happy for him then at least he would still be in loop and could benefit to a certain extent. They still had road trips that she wouldn’t be available to travel on with her being so far along in the pregnancy. Maybe it’s all a phase and the excitement of the new toy syndrome will wear off. What man in there right man with all this extra attention out here, remain faithful for too long? Better yet he still had one ace left since obviously she hadn’t told him about his advancements on her. B.A. must didn’t put too much stock in what Taj had to say or she didn’t go through with it. He was sure if B.A. knew what was going on he would have confronted him by now.

  “What’s going on? Where is B.A.?” Naomi ran up to Davey firing question after question at him.

  “Man you ain’t gonna believe this shit.” Davey shook his head. “They ousted Toby about being gay and wanting B.A.”

  “I called him on being gay when we were in Miami. Who cares?”

  “He is going to care when he wakes up with the head banger headache he is going to have. Shane knocked him on his ass for calling ole girl a bitch.”

  “Are you serious?”

  “No joke. Everyone in there is extremely overprotective of her.”

  “What happened to make him have an outburst like that anyway?”

  “B.A. proposed to the bitch and Toby…”

  “HE WHAT?!”

  “My bad… they are engaged.”

  “Oh hell no! You’re kidding me right?”

  “Sorry I wish I was.”

  “This can’t be happening to me right now.”

  “To you? What about me?”

  “What about you?”

  “How do you think this affects me?”

  “You are so selfish.”

  “You are one to talk.”

  “Maybe we should hire someone…” Naomi stared off into space.

  “Hire someone like?”

  “You know to take care of her.”

  “You must be kidding. What the hell did I just tell you? They are guarding her like a hawk. Plus she is carrying his baby, how do think he will feel?”

  “He would get over it in time. I can give him a baby. One day.”

  “I don’t know about this.”

  “Come on, what else are we going to do?” Naomi approached Davey with a seductive sway to her hips. “Think about it this way. With her out of the way or at least without the one thing that’s keeping B.A. with her, there will be no stopping how far we can go. I can convince B.A. to move you in as adding security. We could share that big ole house. Partying on the weekends. It wouldn’t be long before we could sway him to some wild orgies.” They were secluded in the back near the restrooms. No one could see them from their angle behind the plant.

  “Man, I don’t…” Davey’s protest died on his lips when the head of his penis passed her lips. Engulfing his hard-on completely in her mouth made his toes curl.

  “We can do this baby.” Naomi cooed still working his shaft feeling he was close to blowing his lid. It never took long for him to erupt. “You’ll see it will be for the best.”

  “…”

  “Go back to the room and pretend everything is all good.”

  “Come to my room later?”

  “Sure baby anything for you.”

  “Alright, later.” Davey watched as Naomi sauntered away to the exit. Taking a deep breath before pushing himself off of the wall, he made his way back to the party room.

  “Damn I thought you left.” B.A. said when he entered.

  “I just needed some air. I was tripping over the details that were revealed.”

  “I know right, imagine how I felt. Never would have guessed that one. At least I still have one of my boys that has my back, genuinely.”

  “For sure. Somebody gotta throw you a kick ass bachelor party.”

  “Actually…” B.A. said looking around awkwardly.

  “What?”

  “My intentions are for Mya to have my last name before we depart Vegas.”

  “WHAT?!” Davey and Mya both questioned.

  “What? You don’t want to marry me tonight?” He asked Mya.

  “Barron… wait… whew…” Mya said at a loss for words. Davey wasn’t any better trying to figure out what would make him want to do something so damn drastic.

  “Don’t you think that’s a little soon?” Mya asked and from the looks on her face she had some other questions but Thomas clearing his throat ceased any further debate.

  “Yeah dawg. That’s a little impromptu isn’t it?” Davey asked.

  “Such a big word for a hype man.” Thomas said. Davey ignored the dig still reeling over the revelation of getting married now.

  “I want my little girl born with my name with no doubts about it. Is that so much to ask?”

  “Are you sure about this?”

  “Most definitely.” B.A. kissed Mya again. The mother’s and the sister in laws awed.

  “Okay…” Mya said timidly as if unsure but from the look on her face she didn’t want to disappoint him.

  “Well alright then.” B.A. said with a satisfied smile on his face.

  Davey knew for sure they had to do something but from the sounds of the preparations being made it was going to have to wait until after they were married. Either way he knew Naomi was not going to happy about these circumstances. She was going to insist they went along with her plan of getting rid of Mya permanently. He was thinking something a little simpler but vindictive to get his way. The struggle over the things men do to get their rocks off was so real.

  Chapter Twenty

  Mya was having some set-backs about going to this extreme to piss off the people against them being together. Sure they had done some pretty shitty things to keep them apart even though some of it was uncalled for but having a ruse of a marriage may be taking it too far. That was sacred and shouldn’t be tampered with. Barron may have been doing this as payback but saying the traditional vows even in a Vegas wedding chapel meant something to Mya. Her love for him is the only thing that had her willing to go through with this. There was no doubt in her mind anymore that she would be this man’s fool for the rest of her life if he required such a thing. Whoever wrote the song, told the story, or invented the phrase a fool in love or for love had hit the nail on the head.

  All of their family was in attendance, and it wasn’t long before Thomas intentionally leaked a picture of the happy couple kissing to seal the deed to the media. According to the leak it looked like it came from Davey which was all a part of the plan. They had even caught a picture of him off to the side with a serious look of displeasure. The social media world
went into an uproar of both excitement and disappointment of the nuptial news. The mock account set up as Davey’s sent out numerous congrats and well wishes regarding the couple. To the public’s eye he was a devoted friend truly happy for his best friend’s marriage but to his coconspirator’s he was a traitor. Having one of Tracy’s employees hack into all of Davey’s accounts to give them access but block him from gaining access, they did some damage. He also didn’t receive any updates so he was clueless to everything.

  The hotel had given them a complimentary honeymoon suite once they arrived back from their night on the town. Mya was far from exhausted as she thought she would be. She was a little apprehensive about deceiving her parents with false hope that they would remain married. Ebony had explained to her that Barron had handled all of that before he followed through with asking her.

  She also said that Barry and Sheila would be going into detail about everything when they were sure no eavesdroppers were around. They didn’t want their plans fudged. Upon entering the suite, Mya’s mouth dropped another two inches to the ground from the beauty that was displayed. It was decorated to perfection with all the romantic things such as candles, rose petals, chocolate covered strawberries, and even sparkling cider.

  “This is so beautiful.”

  “Yeah it is… come on.”

  “Where are we going?”

  “Don’t ask questions.” He said in such a demanding tone that Mya instantly felt the moistness in her panties. He guided her to the huge Jacuzzi tub that was in the center of the room between the sitting room and bedroom. Although erotic as hell, she couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable as Barron started to remove her clothes. She felt seriously self-conscious of her body.

  “Wait Barron…” She tried to stop him from removing anything else but he silenced her.

  “Don’t start… why are you tripping? I’ve seen you naked before Mya.”

  “But…”

  “No buts, relax.” When he got down to her underwear, she blushed as he lowered them leaving him at eye level with her shaven cookie. “Damn…” He cursed to himself and bit into his lower lip. Coming back to tower over her naked frame he forced her to turn around with her back to him. In one smooth swoop he gathered her hair up in his big hands, twirled it around, and clipped it at the top of her head.
