Will Love Ever Come?

Chapter 38

THE COLD WINTER SUN creeps up in the sky as the guys find their way home.

Deuce smiles as Eschewal drives onto the high road that leads to their town. He grabs his crotch and then looks over at Eschewal. "Hey, cuz," he begins, "did you bang your one?"

Eschewal does not take his eyes off the road. He replies, "Nah, blood, long, I wasn't even feeling it."

With surprise, Deuce says, "What? Are you stupid? That fit, ting, you didn't kill it?" He looks over at Spiv, lounging in the back seat. "Oi, Spiv," says Deuce, "are you listening?"

Spiv has his eyes closed. "Yeah, go on," he replies without opening them.

Deuce laughs and points his thumb towards Eschewal. "Oi, you know my man never go thru on the ting, though. Ter, can you believe it that fit bloodclart, ting, he never go thru?" He pauses, then huffs. "He must've sucked her pussy, fam. You get me?" He laughs to himself at the last statement. He wishes it were true.

Spiv makes no reply and keeps his eyes closed.

Deuce looks back over at Eschewal, and with a smirk, he says, "Nah, fam, big and serious, fun and joke done, did you suck her pussy?"

Eschewal does not crack a smile; he says, "Hey, bruv, who you talking to, you cat? Oi, bruv, you're gassed, you know. Oi listen, mind how you talking, you know. How you gonna ask bad man them ting there?"

Deuce retorts, "Forget bout bad man. Did you suck her pussy?"

Eschewal shakes his head from side to side and changes down a gear, then replies, "Ter, hold on, you taking man for some fool? Man, don't suck pussy, star."

Deuce fires back, "So what, have you never sucked pussy?"

Eschewal looks over at Deuce with a contemptuous scowl. "You never hear what I just said; I don't suck pussy, blood." He puts his eyes back on the road and his mind on the time he went down and tasted hell. He looks back over at Deuce and feels like spitting. He would never confess to someone like Deuce. He shakes his head and puts his eyes back on the road.

Deuce knows Eschewal is lying and wishes he would not so he can get his secret out in the open. He leans back in the chair and sucks his teeth while Eschewal drives him and Spiv home.
