Fatima and her girlfriends were catching up on a group video chat while Fatima was on her way to work. Danni was the first to speak up, venting about her disappointment with her latest conquest
"Ugh, hot girl summer is cancelled. I'm done with the heauxry," her friend Danni said
"What happened this time?" Robin asked, rolling her eyes at Danni's dramatics.
Danni and Fatima had grown up together in the same neighbourhood, and they had met Robin and Marilyn while attending Spelman College. They quickly hit it off and formed a close-knit group, balancing each other out with just the right mix of craziness and calm.
Danni proceeded to recount a recent dating experience, "So last week, I met this guy when I went to get my nails done right. He seemed cool and he said it was his first time there and he wasn't sure what to get done. So I told him all he needed was buff and he thanked me for the advice," she explained.
"Not seeing what's wrong with that so far," Fatima chimed in.
Danni continued, "Let me finish. We started talking, and when I got up to wash my hands, he paid for my nails, including the pedicure. The lady working there even suggested I get his number, so I did."
"Again this all sounds good," Fatima said as their other friends listened intently, waiting for the catch.
"Heifer let me finish," she said shaking her head, "We exchange numbers and he calls me the same night and says he wants to take me out. So we go out the next day and we have a great time so we come back to my place," Danni said, grinning.
"Danni, what did we say about bringing people back to your place?" Fatima interjected, concerned for her friend's safety.
"Yes bitch, if you wanna heaux, we all for that but safety first," Marylin said not pleased
"I know, I know but do y'all want me to finish this story or what?" Danni acknowledged
"Go on," Robin encouraged
"Okay, so we get back to my place and you know we start doing our thing and let me tell you his head game was on point." she said chuckling "Anyway he stops suddenly and asks if I've got a vibrator. And I say of course thinking 'aw shit we about to have some fun'. So I grab the vibrator and he says he wants me to use it on him,"
There's a pause before they all erupted in laughter and disbelief.
"Oh my gosh Danni, what the fuck?" Fatima exclaimed.
"Right? I mean do I have a sign on my head that attracts men that aren't all the way straight?" Danni lamented.
"First it was that guy with the panties," Robin added.
"Yea, then it was that guy that tried to kiss Zac," Marilyn chimed in
"Maybe you should just stay single like me," Fatima suggested with a grin.
"Girl get outta here with that. Not all of us can have a Zac at our beck and call," Danni said with a playful smirk.
Rolling her eyes, Fatima replied, "Danni you know it's not even like that with me and him,"
"So..." Marilyn beamed at them through the screen. "How is that fine ass best friend of yours? Is he still single?"
"He's good and off-limits," Fatima replied firmly.
Marilyn pouted. "Aw man...he's not single anymore, huh?"
He's mine!
"He's single," Fatima corrected her, retracting her mental claws. "Just off-limits to any of my friends."
