“I know that! I had an alarm set already, damn,” she said into the phone with an attitude.
“Okay then, sis, I’ll see you when you get here,” I said and then hung up the phone.
Next, I decided to call Toya to make sure her on the go ass was still coming to the party.
“Hello?” She answered the phone sounding wide awake.
“What are you doing and why you up so early?” I asked her.
“You know I go running every morning. I know why you calling me and I’ll be there, but I might be a little bit late because I have to show a house at one, and then I’ll be on the way” she said and I nodded my head.
“Okay, I’ll see you then,” I said. I was about to hang up the phone, but she stopped me.
“Wait, Charlie. Umm, is Diandre going to be there?”
I smirked. Damn, my best friend was really feeling Dre, even though she didn’t want to admit it.
“Yes, he’s going to be here. Why?” I asked her, hoping she would tell me what was up.
“Nothing, I was just asking,” she said.
I knew that it was more to that, she just didn’t want to tell me.
“Well, he’ll be here, Toya, and you make sure you have your ass here too. I’ll stop fuckin’ with your ass for not coming to my baby’s party,” I said seriously.
She laughed on her side of the phone. “Charlie, shut the hell up, girl. I said I was coming, now bye.”
I could still hear her laughing as she hung up the phone.
I went to go take a shower and throw on something comfortable so that I could get started with the decorations. The party was set to start at two, and there was a lot of shit that needed to be handled so that my baby could have the best birthday party ever.
Toya
It was now going on three o’clock, and I was just leaving from showing three houses to a couple who was expecting. They were preferably looking for a four-bedroom house, with three baths, pool, big yard, anything that was kid friendly. It was kind of frustrating because all three of the houses were a little more than twenty minutes apart, so after showing them the third house, they concluded that they would rather stick with the first house I showed them, which resulted in us having to drive all the way back to the first house.
I was a little annoyed at first because I thought that they were playing games, but in the end, it all worked out because I had just finished selling a house that was going for $229,000. After finishing up some last minute paperwork, the couple and I decided that we would meet back up on Monday morning to proceed with any last minute things.
Since I knew Diandre was going to be there, I decided to swing by my house right quick so that I could change. I didn’t want to be the only one there in work clothes, plus I wanted to look good for him. I think that he was seriously done with fuckin’ with me because he hadn’t been calling or texting me like he would usually do, and he hasn’t been back down to my office. I hate to admit it, but I kind of missed having him around. I didn’t think that me not being ready to be in a relationship would piss him off, but clearly it had, and because of it, he wasn’t fuckin’ with me.
When I got to the party, I had plans to tell him that I was indeed feeling him and that I was just scared of getting hurt. A blind man could tell that I was feeling this man, I was just terrified of putting my heart on the line for him only for him to turn around and break it. A part of me knew that he would be the perfect man for me, even though he was kind of rough around the edges, but honestly, I think that he’s the only man that could handle someone like me. From day one, I could tell that my attitude didn’t scare him off because he kept on pursuing me. I was going to make him my man today, I just hope that he hasn’t changed his mind so soon.
I pulled up to my house, got out of my jeep, and walked inside. I stayed in a nice three bedroom, two bathroom condo, with just myself and my little Yorkie dog, Prada. Yes, I was the definition of a real lonely bitch because my dog was the one I snuggled up with at night, instead of a man. I had three bedrooms because I wanted all three of the closets for the many clothes, shoes, and purses that I owned.
I kicked off my shoes and Prada came running in my direction, jumping up with her paws out, trying to get me to pick her up. I put my shoes off to the side and squatted down to play with her.
“Hey, mama’s baby. You missed me?” I asked, rubbing her head as she turned her head from side to side.
I stood up and made a dash for the closet in my room so that I could find something to wear, and Prada was right on my heels. I walked in my closet and went toward the white section of my jeans and pulled out a pair of high waist, white skinny jeans from diesel that still had the tag on them. Next, I went over to my shirt section and pulled out a denim green baby tee and a pair of gold sandals from Steve Madden.
I laid the clothes and accessories out on the bed and took a quick shower. When I finished, I unwrapped my hair, parted it back down the middle and let it flow down my back. I applied only a little bit of makeup and then went back into my room to get ready. I lotioned my body and only threw on a thong, since the shirt I was wearing didn’t need a bra.
When I finished getting dressed, I switched purses, which was my Louis Vuitton purse that I would wrap around me. I closed my room door because Prada was in there lying on her doggie bed. I had to make two trips from my condo to the car because I had to pick up the gifts that I had sitting on the counter for China. Finally, I was in of my car and on the way to the party.
4:01 P.M.
I had just gone through security at the front of the gated community where Jaquan lived, now I was going around the curve about to pull into his house, well that’s if I was able to find a place to park. I could hear the loud music already, which led me to believe that this party was in full swing. There were a lot of cars parked in the driveway, on the sidewalk, but I was lucky that a neighbor was standing outside and she told me that it was okay if I parked in her driveway.
I got out the car and thanked her and then made my way to my trunk to get the gifts. I walked with the gifts in my hands and to the backyard where the party was taking place. I looked around. The theme of the party was The Little Mermaid, and everything was back here from the three bounce houses, cotton candy machine, Icee machine, face painting, pony rides, and when I pulled up, I saw where they were letting kids go around the block for a train ride.
“Auntie Toyaaaa,” I heard a high pitched voice say.
I looked down and it was my baby China, looking so beautiful in her birthday outfit. She was wearing a black shirt that was decorated in a mermaid theme, that had her name on the front of it and a number seven on the back. She was also wearing a pair of red jeans from true religion and the new Jordan 11’s were on her feet. China had her long hair down her back, with a middle part. I’m pretty sure she had to beg Charlie to let her straighten her hair since it was her birthday because Charlie didn’t like when China’s hair was straight. I put her gifts down on the gift table and went to pick her up and kissed both of her cheeks.
“Happy birthday, China. You’re a big girl now, huh?” I asked her, playing in her hair and she smiled. “Where is your mommy and Auntie Monae?” I asked when I didn’t see them around.
“They in the house,” she said.
I gave her one last kiss and made my way inside the house. I spotted Monae and Charlie in the kitchen and they were both fixing a plate.
“Well, look who finally decided to show up,” Monae said as soon as she spotted me.
“Oh, hush, you knew I had to work today,” I said, hugging her and then Charlie.
Charlie was wearing the exact same thing as China, except her shirt said on the front, “The Birthday Girl’s Mommy.” Her fire red hair was going back in two big braids that stopped just below her ass.
“You see all these damn people here at this party?” Charlie fussed as she took a seat at one of the chairs in front of the table.
“Yeah, I see that. I had to end up parking at the
neighbor’s house. How the hell a seven-year-old girl know all of these damn people?” I asked.
I didn’t even hear what she said because I had tuned her out and focused my attention on what was going on outside. I watched as Diandre sat down in one of the lounge chairs and another female sat next to him feeding him. For a second, our eyes locked on each other and at that moment, I wanted to crawl under a rock. It wasn’t until then that I realized that I really wanted this man because I was jealous as hell to see him with another woman. I didn’t know if what they had was serious, but it had to be something if he was comfortable enough to bring her around. Plus, he knew I would be there.
He turned his head away from me and I was so hurt as I continued to watch the two of them. I couldn’t see old girl’s face, but I knew that she wasn’t fuckin’ with me from the little gut in her stomach that she had going on. Mannnn, I needed this bitch to turn around so that I could get a better look at her. Just like how Diandre didn’t want me entertaining any other niggas, I didn’t want him entertaining any other females.
“Toya, did you hear me? Damn, what the hell are you looking at?” Charlie asked me, getting up from her seat to see what had gotten my attention. She looked and then turned back around to face me.
“Don’t get mad at me because I didn’t know he was bringing somebody with him. I even told Jaquan to tell that hoe to leave, but he said that if she left, then Dre would have to leave too because that’s how she got here,” Charlie said.
I shook it off and nodded my head. Yes, I was hurt and jealous, but I didn’t want to keep showing it. Diandre knew what he was doing by bringing this bitch with him because he knew for a fact that I would be coming. Damn, had I fucked up that bad that he had moved on already?
“Couldn’t have been me. I would have walked my ass over there and snatched that bitch up,” Monae said while she ate her food.
“That’s not my man, so I can’t do that,” I said and stood up from my chair.
“That’s not your man, but you looked pretty pissed off to me,” Monae said.
I playfully mushed her on the side of her head and went to make me something to eat.
The rest of the party went by pretty smooth. I was able to tune out Diandre and his little slave for the entire party. I stayed after everybody had left and helped clean up the mess, along with Monae. Diandre had already left and Quan was in the living room playing the game while us ladies cleaned up the mess. China had tired herself out and was now upstairs in her room asleep.
It was going on midnight, and before I went home, I had a trip that I needed to make. Once we were finished, we all went into the living room and as Charlie went to sit next to Jaquan, he grabbed her by her waist and pulled her into his lap. I smiled as I watched the love the two of them had for each other. Yeah, he fucked up every once in a while, but there was no denying the fact that he loved the hell out of Charlie.
“Bae, who was the bitch that was with Dre? You can tell us that they’re gone,” Charlie said.
I was happy because I was dying to know.
“Touch your nose. But seriously, I don’t know who the hell shorty was. He said that’s just his friend,” Quan said and Charlie looked at me.
“Don’t trust that friend shit, Toya. If you want Dre, your ass better go get him tonight before that bitch does.” Charlie said and I nodded my head.
“Charlie, shut the hell up, trying to be somebody damn counselor and shit,” Jaquan told her and we all burst out laughing. She mushed him in his head.
I stood up. “Alright y’all, I’m about to head out.”
“Call me in the morning and tell me every fuckin’ thing, Toya, I’m not playing with you either,” Charlie threatened.
She knew me well enough to know that I was about to go do a pop up on Diandre and get my man. After saying my goodbyes, I went to my car. I still remembered how to get to the condo that I had sold him. I was kind of nervous because I was afraid of rejection, plus I was scared that he might have brought that bitch home with him. It took me about thirty minutes to get to his house and I smiled when I noticed his car was parked in the resident’s section. I went and parked in the guest section of the parking lot and made my way to his door. I said a silent prayer, hoping that God would get me through this.
I walked up to his door and quickly knocked. I think it was too soft because he didn’t answer and I couldn’t hear any movement, indicating that he was coming to the door, so I knocked again, this time with a purpose.
“Who the fuck is at my door?” he asked.
I felt my stomach sink because I was so scared now. I didn’t answer him, I just stayed there, waiting for him to open the door. A few seconds later, he swung open the door and looked down at me with a crazed look etched on his handsome face. I stood there admiring him with no shirt on, standing in front of me in a pair of black Nike cotton shorts that sagged off of his ass, showing off his Versace boxers. I knew he had a lot of tattoos, but the ones on his chest and abs were so fuckin’ sexy. In the middle of his stomach, he had the words “Miami Nigga” going across, with what looked like the whole fuckin’ city of Miami tattooed on him. I’m pretty sure my panties were a mess by now because this nigga standing in front of me was just too fuckin’ sexy.
“Fuck you doing here? And why you popping your ass up at my house like you my woman or some shit? You didn’t want that title, so you don’t have that right. So again, what are you doing here?” he asked me.
Since I’ve been in contact with him, this was the first time that he has ever been so rude to me.
“I was coming by to tell you that I’m ready. Umm, I’m ready to be your girl,” I said, voice barely audible, but I know he heard me because he laughed.
“Ohh, you ready to be my girl, huh? Why is that? Is it because you saw me with another bitch today and you got jealous? Look at you, Toya, you can’t even say the shit loud enough for a nigga to hear your ass! Life doesn't work like that, lil mama! You can’t shit on a nigga for damn near three months and then decide that you ready to fuck with him, once you see him with his new bitch,” he said.
His words hurt me because he referred to her as his bitch, which led me to believe that maybe she was his girlfriend. I nodded my head and then turned around, preparing to go back to my car.
“That’s what the fuck you do, Toya, right? You run away from your problems like a little ass girl!” he said.
I wiped the tears that had dropped from my face. He was calling me out on my shit and I didn’t like it because it was the truth. I always ran away from my problems. I ran away from the fact that it didn’t bother me that my dad was never a part of my life. I ran away from the fact that I thought I could handle all of this shit going on in my life without my mother here helping me when I knew I couldn’t. I was tired of running! I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist and I leaned my head back on his chest.
“Tell me you want me, baby, and I promise I’ll be that nigga for you. Say that shit with confidence and right here, right now, we can make this shit official,” he said.
At the same time, I could feel him using his hands to unbuckle my jeans. He was fuckin’ with my head, and I didn’t know what to do. Just as I was about to answer him, he slid his hands inside my pants and rubbed his cold fingers on my bald pussy. I shivered from his touch, and when I felt his pointer finger touch my clit, my knees almost gave out, but he held me up by my waist with his free hand. His grip was very tight, and I’m sure it was going to leave a bruise.
“Fuck you trying to go? Answer my damn question, Toya,” he said as he massaged my clit with his index finger.
I moaned loud, not able to control myself.
“You doing everything but answering what the fuck I’m asking you!” he barked in my ear. His warm breath against my neck caused me to get wetter.
“I want you, Diandre! All I want is YOU!!” I moaned as he magically worked my clit and caused my juices to flow out of me. He pushed my hair away and brought his full lips to my neck
, and sucked on my exposed skin so roughly. I continued to moan as he made my body feel so good.
“I’m gonna cumm,” I moaned as his thumb continued to make circles around my clit in a fast motion.
A few seconds later, I let off a big orgasm on his fingers and I knew that my body was about to shut down on him but again, he was able to catch me before I fell. He turned me around and picked me up, holding me by the bottom of my ass. I wrapped my arms around his neck and tried my best to let my breathing calm down a little bit. I rested my head on his chest while he continued to stand with me in his arms.
“That’s what a nigga got to do to make you come to your senses? I got to bring a bitch around you, for you to realize that this is where you want to be” he asked me.
I shook my head no. “I had planned to come to the party and telling you how I felt, but you had wifey with you,” I said, throwing hell of shade.
“Quit fuckin’ with me, Toya. Wifey is right here, and I’m about to teach her how to take some dick like a pro because I felt them walls and I already know that shit is tight as hell. When the last time you had some dick?” he asked as he carried me into the house.
“I haven’t,” I said, holding my head down in shame.
I was kind of embarrassed to admit to him that I was still a virgin. I mean, I had my little toys at home and would watch my little porn clips from time to time, but I never had sex before. I’m not going to lie, while I was away in college, I had a little boyfriend up there, but all he did was occasionally finger me and I would let him eat me out, but we never had sex. I was so scared of getting pregnant and disappointing my mom, that I never went through with it.
“Even better. Toya, I swear I’ll kill you and that nigga if you ever give my shit away! Are we clear on that?”
“Yes, we’re clear,” I told him.
He carried me to his bedroom and set me down on the bed. He squatted before me on the plush, carpeted floor in his bedroom and removed my sandals. He then placed them over in the corner of his room and came back over to where I was sitting on the bed.
