The Naked Truth About Love

by Stokes Lee, Brenda

  Ironically, Christian decided to confide in Teddy about his plan to sleep with Miss Priss. Afraid that sleeping with Priss would compromise his relationship with Paul, Christian decided to tell Teddy about their date. Christian realized that adding Miss Priss to his long list of conquests and silly bitches was risky and somewhat foul, but would forever cement his Playa Extraordinaire title. Dying to add the sexy, stunning, hotter than blue flame Miss Priss to his long list of Scooby snacks, Christian sought Teddy for his honest opinion.

  “Teddy, walk with me outside. I need to talk to you for a second.” Christian coached Teddy away from the others.

  “Sure give me a second.” Teddy said as he downed the remainder of his cold mug of imported beer.

  Never one to be left out of a confidential conversation, Dorian attempted to invite himself along. “Wait up, I think I’ll tag along. I need to stretch my legs.”

  Irritated, Christian rolled his eyes at Dorian’s piss poor excuse to tag alone to ease drop. Sensing that Christian did not want him to follow them Paul interceded. “Stay here and keep me company Dorian. I’ll buy you another beer.”

  Broke and not willing to turn down a free round of drinks Dorian quickly changed his mind and decided to stay. “On second thought… You too just go ahead. I’ll hang here Paul.”

  Christian gave Paul a nervous, appreciative nod as Teddy got up from the table and followed him outside.

  “Yeah, what’s up?” Teddy asked as they walked the short distance across the parking lot to Christian’s late model Dodge Charger.

  “Not much, I just needed to get your advice on something.” Christian responded as he clicked the alarm off on his car.

  “Is everything okay?”

  “Naw, everything’s fine. Look I just needed your advice on a sensitive issue.” Christian said as he opened the door to his car and removed a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

  Teddy watched as Christian lit a cigarette and took a big drag. “Do you need some money or something?”

  “What? No… I’m good.”

  “OK, hit me with it.” Teddy encouraged.

  “You want one?” Christian offered Teddy a cigarette.

  “Nigga, you know that I don’t smoke. Stop stalling. What’s this about?”

  Christian took a big deep breath, sighed and then began. “I have a date tonight. I have a really, really hot date tonight.”

  “OK so what else is new?”

  Chris raised an eyebrow as a devilish, bad boy look transformed his face.

  “Alright… I’ll bite. Who is she?” Teddy asked intrigued.

  “Don’t say shit to Paul. OK?”

  “About what? Who is it?”

  Christian eyed Teddy for an uncomfortable amount of time. “Prissy.”

  “Prissy who?”

  “Prissy, Miss Priss, Parisa Crown… Paul’s sister.” Christian elaborated.

  “A date to do what?” Teddy asked stunned.

  “What do you think? We’re going to dinner and then see what happens from there.”

  “Bitch, you lost your damn mind? Find somebody else to fuck! Miss Priss is off limits and you know it! What’s wrong with you?”

  “Look I know…believe me I know… but she asked me out. I tried to turn her down but she insisted.”

  “She what? When?”

  “Last night. She called me around ten and asked me out. I told her that I didn’t think that Paul would like it and she basically told me that she didn’t give a damn. Apparently the guy she’s been seeing is a major dick and she wants some payback. So she asked me to tighten her up.”

  “Tighten her up… Really? What else did she say?”

  “Not much. I’m supposed to meet her in an hour at the restaurant. So, how mad do you think Paul will be if he ever finds out?”

  “Paul’s not going to find out because ain’t a damn thing going down between you and Miss Priss tonight or any other damn night! Miss Priss is off limits, period! No if ands or buts about it. Do you understand?” Teddy grumbled.

  “Why are you getting all pissed about it? It’s not my idea it’s Prissy’s. Her man’s a dick and she just wants to get her a little. Hey it might as well be me. At least I’ll treat her like a lady and be there for her whenever she needs me.”

  Teddy was officially pissed the fuck off. “Bitch, didn’t you just hear me? Miss Priss is off limits. I don’t give a fuck if she’s crawling on all fours and begging to suck your dick. Call her ass and cancel. You know what… fuck that I’ll call Priss’ hot ass myself and call it off for you.” He snarled.

  Christian was stunned. Taking a quick double drag off his cigarette he eyed Teddy sideways. Tossing the half smoked butt to the ground and crushing it out with his feet he watched Teddy pull out his phone and call Miss Priss. He could see the envious fire that wrinkled Teddy’s brow and forced his eyes to narrow into slits.

  “Oh shit! You’re jealous! What the fuck? Nigga are you sprung on Prissy? Do you want her? Is that what this is all about? Why didn’t you just say so? Does Paul know? Hell no! Of course he doesn’t know.”

  Quickly hanging up the phone Teddy set his sights back onto Christian. “Shut up! First of all I don’t want Priss, she’s already mine! I’m the dick that she was talking about. In fact I’m the only dick that she’s ever known. I parted her red sea when she was sixteen and I’m the only bitch that gets to swim in that! Miss Priss is just trying to start some shit because she’s mad about some bullshit on my Facebook page. So you’d might as well put your dick back in your pants and sniff for pussy somewhere else, because Miss Priss belongs to me!”

  “Ah shit! This is funny as hell! Teddy Bear Davine has fucked up and fell in love! I knew you had a little crush on her back in the day until Paul tried to beat that ass but…” Christian laughed. “This is some funny as shit! Wait until I tell…”

  “Chris don’t even fuckin think about telling anyone about this! Paul doesn’t know and he would fuckin explode if he found out. I need you to promise me that you won’t say anything to anybody, especially that big mouth ass Dorian. You know his mouth can’t even hold water.”

  “Look, I’m not going to tell anybody. You have my word. Your secret is safe with me. But honestly, you have a much bigger problem. Prissy is trying to straight up get Ninja fucked tonight. Just so we are clear she actually used the terminology, ‘Ninja Fucked!’ Those were her exact words. So, I think you need to do some quick damage control.”

  “Fuck! I knew that she was mad, but it never crossed my mind that she was this damn mad. She just came after you to hurt me.”

  Christian laughed, “She came to me because she knew that I would straight up Ninja Fuck her ass! That’s why she went after me. Hurting you was just a bonus.”

  “Te- he- he- he! This shit is not funny Chris! I fuckin love that woman. I would lose my mother fuckin mind if somebody fucked with her!”

  “Then why are you fucking around on her like that? Why is she so damned pissed off?” Christian asked as his cell rang. Looking at the number, he decided to let it go to voicemail.

  “Man what can I do? We can’t date openly because of Paul’s bullshit. So I have to act like I’m a womanizing dick to keep him from suspecting that we’re together.”

  “True, but you don’t have to lick every slit that you take out.”

  “I don’t! I probably don’t even touch thirty per cent of those girls. I take them out, I show them a good time and I take their ass home. Miss Priss is the fuckin shit! Hell, I probably wouldn’t even fuck the ones that I do if I didn’t think that somebody would start a malicious rumor that I’m on the down low or some bullshit!”

  “Stop posing, bitch you know you like cock! You’re just another down low hoe masquerading as a womanizing dick!” Christian teased.

  “Technically the same could be said of you. I mean I learned all of this bullshit from you.”

  “You ain’t learn a damn thing about sucking dick from me. You learned that insanity on your own. I wish
a nigga would imply that I was gay, I’d slap him in the mouth with my big ass dick!”

  “On that note I rest my case!” Teddy laughed and Christian joined in.

  “Yeah, that didn’t come out quite right.” Chris chuckled. “Seriously, what do you want to do about Prissy? That was her who just called me. I mean I could take her to dinner, pretend to get sick and then take her ass home.”

  A devious grin slowly swept over Teddy’s face. “No, she wants to get Ninja Fucked tonight and that is exactly what she is going to get. Call her little hot ass back and tell her the date is definitely still on.”

  Love Always Perseveres

  Christian and Miss Priss met for dinner as originally plan. Miss Priss was as nervous as a hooker turning tricks at a prayer meeting. She looked absolutely incredible in a strapless form fitting black mini dress. Christian eyes brightened as she walked to the table to meet him.

  Standing to greet her he gently brushed a loose curl that had fallen out of place. Kissing her softly on her blushing cheek he secretly wished that he had never confided in Teddy about their date. Miss Priss looked delicious and he shamelessly considered what it would be like to sample her nectar.

  “Damn, if I just kept my mouth shut!” He thought to himself. Quickly dismissing the thought of sexing his frat brother’s girl and his other frat brother’s sister he focused his attention on executing the plan at hand.

  “I’m sorry I’m late. Time just got away from me and my hair is…”

  “Is absolutely beautiful…” Christian interrupted as he reached across the table and swept another misplaced curl out of her face. “You look exceptional tonight, but I wouldn’t expect anything less. You’re an extraordinarily beautiful woman.”

  “Thank you.” Miss Priss responded in a soft voice.

  “Is everything okay? You seem a little shy.”

  “Yes, everything is okay. No… Look Chris I’m not sure…”

  “It’s okay. We’re just going to have dinner. Nothing’s going to happen tonight unless you want it to, so just relax and enjoy yourself.” He assured her.

  “I just don’t want you to think that I led you on. I was upset earlier when I called you and asked you to take me to dinner.”

  “So, is he acting like a man now or is he still being a dick?” He asked testing the waters.

  “I doubt it. I haven’t talked to him tonight. He’s probably with his gold digging skank.” She grumbled as she scanned the menu. “Can I get a drink?”

  Chris smiled, “Sure as long as you’re twenty one.”

  “I’m the same age as your frat brother, so stop playing. You know exactly how old I am.”

  “Yeah I guess I do. In that case you can have anything you want, on or off the menu.” He flirted as his eyes mentally caressed her perfect breasts.

  Miss Priss smiled as she noticed the gleam of lust in his eyes. “Let’s just start with a drink and see what happens.”

  “Fair enough.” He said with a wily grin as he summoned the waitress. “What would you like?”

  “I’m going to take a Slow Screw, no pun intended.” Priss flirted.

  “Of course not...” Chris grinned at the thought of screwing her slow and easy.

  “Hi, I see your date has arrived.” The waitress asked as she scanned Miss Priss for flaws. Rolling her eyes after Miss Priss’ scan results registered flawless. “What can I get for you, Dr. Love?”

  “Hi Kelly, the lady will have a Slow Screw and I’ll take another Corona.”

  “OK, that’s one Slow Screw and One Corona. Are you sure you don’t want a Slow Screw.” The waitress shamelessly winked at Chris.

  Miss Priss rolled her eyes and continued to survey the menu. “I’m sure he’ll get one later if he remains a gentleman. Can you change my order to a Corona, unopened, please?

  Chris chuckled, “Just the two beers please. Thanks Kelly.”

  “So how does she know your name, Dr. Love?” Miss Priss stared Christian down waiting for an explanation.

  “What? We had a conversation while I waited. What did I do something wrong?” He laughed.

  “No but she did… I can’t believe she tried to disrespect me like that.”

  “Well, you handled it well. Good move to switch to a bottled drink, because she was straight up going to spit in your drink.” He chuckled.

  “Yeah, I know. It’s not my first time dating a pretty boy.” Miss Priss laughed. “Trust me I’m use to it.”

  “Can I ask you a question?” Chris asked as he placed his menu down in front of him.

  “Sure. What do you want to know?”

  “I don’t mean to ‘Get all up in yo bizniz,’ but what’s the story with this guy? If he’s not treating you right why do you stay with him?”

  “Isn’t it obvious Chris? I love his sorry ass?” Miss Priss sadly admitted. “And try as hard as I can I just can’t stop. I don’t want to stay, but I can’t walk away.”

  Chris shook his head to indicate that he understood. “I can’t say that I know how that feels, but I can understand why you’d feel that way. It’s impossible to walk away from your destiny.”

  “So I guess I’m destined to endure this pain a little longer.” She nervously tried to laugh it off.

  “It’ll get better.”

  “I hope you’re right, because that’s the only reason I’m here.”

  “Oh really? Why did I assume that it was my good looks and Atlanta Swag.” Christian joked.

  Miss Priss giggled. “Actually it was your legendary third leg.”

  Christian laughed heartily. “I didn’t want to say it, but since you brought it up. It is kind of spectacular.”

  “Yeah, so I’ve heard.” Miss Priss eyed the sexy, charismatic, handsome doctor in front of her. “So, we’re in agreement that this is only a one night thing, right?”

  “I’m here for you whenever you need me. I totally understand your situation. So, if you want to go through with it, I’m here for you. Hell, if you want to take a pass tonight, I’m still here for you.”

  “Thanks, Chris.” She replied as Kelly returned with two unopened Coronas.

  Chris opened the twist top beers and offered a toast. “Let’s toast to tonight. Que sera, sera!”

  Miss Priss smiled as she clink bottles with Chris, “Whatever will be, will be!”

  The two made small talk as they finished their beer and sized each other up. Finally relaxed and with no word from Teddy, Miss Priss made her final decision. “Can we go somewhere a little cozier?”

  The corners of Chris’ mouth slowly curled to a devilish grin. “Sure, I can’t take you home, for obvious reasons.”

  Miss Priss snickered, “Not unless you want my brother and Teddy to beat your ass. I can’t take you to my apartment just in case my wayward dick decides to drop by.”

  “Yeah, I figured as much, so, I got us a suite. I promise I will be a complete gentleman. We can go there and relax and talk for awhile, if that’s okay with you.”

  “I’d like that.” Miss Priss simply said as she searched Christian eyes to see if she could trust him. “Chris I need you to be discreet about this. No one can ever know about our date. OK?”

  “I understand perfectly.” He conceded.

  “Okay well lead the way and I’ll follow you.”

  ~*~*~

  Less than a half an hour later Miss Priss found herself alone, in a hotel suite with one of the sexiest men in Atlanta and his name was not Teddy Bear Davine. Making herself comfortable Miss Priss removed her stilettos and took a seat on the sofa. Christian called room service and ordered a bottle of champagne.

  “Are you good?” He asked as room service knocked on the door with the champagne.

  “Yeah, I’m okay.” She replied as she curled her feet beneath her on the sofa. The waiter loosened the cork and allowed Christian to pop it for dramatic effect.

  Christian was stunned that Miss Priss affected him the way she did, especially now that he knew that s
he was Teddy’s lady. His attraction to her had hit him like a thunderous blow to the nut sack. Stiffening at the sight of her bare thighs as she relaxed on the luxurious ivory color Victorian sofa he was oddly silent for a long moment. His physical desire was taking over at an alarming rate. He was in awe of Miss Priss and blown away by her sexiness. Pulling his shirt out of his pants he attempted to masquerade his boner.

  “This is some damn bullshit.” He murmured beneath his breath as he approached her with two glasses of champagne. “Fuckin Teddy got me caught up in his bullshit! I should have just kept my damn mouth closed.”

  “Christian this place is so extravagant. You didn’t have to spend all this money on me. It’s too much.” She smiled as he offered her a cold glass of champagne.

  He chuckled, “What makes you think that you’re so special. I treat all my one night stands like this.”

  “Yeah right! I know how you Kappa men roll. Does Motel 6 still keep the light on for you?” Miss Priss laughed.

  “Yeah they do, but not tonight. You’re too classy for a place like that. I wanted to take you somewhere we can get comfortable and unwind. Don’t worry about it. Being with you is worth every penny.” He responded as he joined her on the oversized sofa, maintaining a respectable distance between them.

  “We’ll see. Unfortunately I’m still not one hundred percent certain that I can go through with this. You may have invested a whole lot of money for nothing.”

  “So, why are we here? I mean I know why we’re here, but I don’t know why you want it. Are you looking for good sex, or are you looking for revenge.”

  “I know that you’re probably not going to understand this, but actually I’m not seeking either.”

  “Then what are you trying to accomplish by having sex with me?”

  “I just want closure so I can move on. Chris I’ve never been with another man. He was first and I’ve never wanted another. If he finds out that I’ve been with someone else I think he’ll be so furious that he’ll just leave me alone. I can’t say no to him. I need him to walk away from me, because I don’t have the courage to walk away from him.”

  “Prissy, that’s not going to work. He’s a man and a man will continue to lay with you until you say no. If you really want to move on then you have to be strong enough to break it off. Don’t sleep with me or anybody else because you’re too afraid to walk away from someone who’s not treating you right. Just break it off and then sleep with whoever you want to.”
