Chapter 22: Fin's Playroom

It quickly turns into a 90s sitcom moment with everybody now looking at me. So I squint. Hell I'm just as lost as everyone else. So I ask the common sense question. "How do you 2 know each other?" Fin clears her throat and looks down at the ground. I sigh. "Shit.", I think. It's gotta be bad to get that reaction from her. "Aww come on Ashley you didn't tell her how you stole people's girlfriends?", Max says sarcastically. Then she adds, "Including mine."

Yeah that's pretty bad. Fin looks up and sighs. "Yeah I did, Maxine." Ok wait what? I'm about to ask when. When Fin says, "She already knows about Aura." Both me and Dre say, "What?!?!?" Fin quickly turns to me. "Remember how I told you my relationship with Aura started out with us cheating?" I nod. I mean it was partly the reason I even know Max. Small fucking world, I guess.

"Well Maxine was Aura's then girlfriend.", she explains. I hear Dre suck on his straw hard before quietly saying, "Well damn." I have absolutely no
fucking words. I look at Fin and then Max. I then hear Dre, "Um ok not to be nosy, or anything...." I shoot him a look as to say not now. "Listen I know I know, Issa.", he says. He then quickly adds, "But hear me out." I roll my eyes but then say, "Ok." I mean shit I have no idea on how to respond or how to react to this situation.

"There's a good question floating around right now.", he says. He's really really high right now. Hell all 3 of us are. We smoked a real fat blunt. Not good in this current situation. I'm tripping out 10x worse now. And his question doesn't help with my paranoia at all. "How did they not know about each other?" And with that all eyes were right back on me. "You both used each other's formal names." I noticed what they called each other immediately. "I only called y'all Max and Fin."(well not with Max but I ain't saying that)

Goddamn Dre must be reading my mind, cause I see him stifle a chuckle. Now is not the damn time. Fin sighs hard. Max now says, "Awkward." "I really just wanted to say hi. Imma take my leave now. It was nice seeing you Issa. Enjoy Erykah, Fin." I can tell she's loving the fact she fucked the love of Fin's life." I told her why I felt we had to stop. I told her it was hurting Fin too much and I loved her too much to keep hurting her. Hell I didn't know who Max was to Fin.

Fin continues to be pissed for the rest of the concert. Dre and I basically give her space. After Erykah is finished, Fin looks at Dre. "You feel like hanging with some friends of mine tonight?" Dre and I both squint at Fin. But Dre says, "Yeah, I guess." Fin then pulls out her keys and pulls off a key. She goes to hand it to Dre. She snatched it back quickly before he grabs it. "2 things, don't lose this and call before coming home."

Both Dre and my eyes get wide. I tell him everything. So he knows just as well as I do what that could mean. This means...well damn. All I can do is gulp. She pulls out her phone and calls up some of her old college friends to come get Dre from Commodore Barry Park. Once he's gone she grabs my wrist and yanks me towards her as she hails a cab. She's silent the whole ride home. Once we're in the house she asks, "What did she do to you?" So I immediately reply, "Huh.", cause I'm now confused as fuck.

But when I said huh she shot me a look I'd NEVER seen from her before. "I asked what did she do to you?" She repeats. "Tell me how she fucked you.", she commands. My eyes get wide. I mean what the fuck, I know she's pissed. But...next thing I know she's dragging me downstairs. I immediately know where we're going. She unlocks the door and flicks the light switch. The walls are all black and padded in Fin's playroom. Imagine the padded walls of an insane asylum. Just charcoal colored. Only thing keeping the room illuminated is a bright red light... she has yet to light some candles.

First time she brought me in here, I swear I almost passed out from nervousness. As time went on I got excited when I came down here. I'm officially back to nervous. As she lights some candles she says, I'm not gonna ask again." Holy shit. I think quickly. "Paddles.", I respond. "That's it?", she asks. Fucked up thing is I can see she has a disappointed look. "So I add, "Anal."
