Brunch

Ocean Pov

Today, I decided to have brunch with my friends. I haven't seen them in person in months because they are all pursuing careers in different places. Tierra and Shai still live in Detroit, so I see them pretty much all the time. As for Umi and Dena, they live in different states. All of my friends have degrees.  Umi works for a nonprofit out of New York City. Dena is an actress so she lives in Los Angeles. Shai is a hairstylist and makeup artist. Tierra works in tech and teaches code to inner city kids.  

"Come on now O, yall been together for almost 7 months now. When are we gonna get to at least see what they look like. We don't have to meet them yet, but we want to see who our friend is love with," Tierra spoke. 

"Fine here's a picture of us together," I said showing them. 

"Damn O, they are one fine ass couple especially the woman," Shai said fanning herself. 

"How old are they again, " Umi asked.

"She's 56 and he's 57 ," I answered proudly.

"You sure yall don't need a fourth person," Tierra asked. 

"Aht, all spots are filled babes, 

"Wait she looks really familiar. I've seen her somewhere before. Is she in a sorority or something," Umi asked. 

"She's a Delta," I answered. 

"I knew she seemed familiar. That's Karen Clark-Sheard. She's always at the sorority events with that fine ass Tamela. I've had so many chances to meet them, but I'm always swamped with organizing and helping out at the events. They give so much money into the organization that we were able to double our donations to women empowerment programs," Umi replied. 

"Wait I've seen her before too," Shai spoke. 

"You probably did when you were in court last month for wrecking and vandalizing D's side bitch's car," Umi answered laughing. 

Shai's mouth dropped when she realized. 

"She was the judge," she whispered. 

"Yes," I whispered back. 

"Bitch you been fucking Judge Sheard for the last 6 to 7 months and you knew when my court date was, and you didn't think to mention to her that I was your friend so that she could be more lenient with her ruling," Shai said. 

"Let me tell you a little something about my honeybun. When it comes to her job she doesn't bend the rules. She's worked too hard to earn the spot that she has to jeopardize it, and plus she became a lawyer and a judge to make sure that justice is always served no matter who is committing the crime. With that being said, even if I did mention that you were my friend, she wouldn't have been more lenient," I explained. 

"So tell us about him," Tierra spoke. 

"Okaay, his name is John and he runs his own business. He's worth millions and he's a Que. He owns the community center that you volunteer for and he donated the money to build Windsor High.  He's the perfect gentlemen," I explained smiling.

" Bitch how is the sex? Is it bad or is it good? Are they into weird stuff," Dena asked. 

"I'm getting there. The sex is amazing. Now define weird," I answered. 

"Weird would be like if the husband likes to put on panties and get fucked with a strap on," she replied. 

"Oh hell no, they're not into nothing like that," I answered quickly almost spitting out my drink.

"Didn't mean to make you do that sis, but I deal with celebrities in my line of work and they be into some stuff ,so I have to ask these questions," Dena responded.
