The Self-conscious Submissive

Little Jokey Joke

-Dylan

Here Lies Dylan Dynasty. This is not her resting place. This is just a marker of where her body was last seen before her girlfriends "Took Care" of it.

I had four very unamused eyes staring at me. Waiting for me to explain what was supposed to be barbershop talk. "Note to Self- Start Jade's extermination paperwork."

"There's nothing to tell. It was just a bad joke between friends that shouldn't have been repeated." I reply dismissing the whole thing.

"A joke told by who?" Trinity questioned. 

I looked over my shoulders to see if there was somebody she was giving her evil glare to or if it was really me. It was me, folks. My Princess was plotting my death right in front of my eyes. I looked over and Monica and she was carrying the same energy.

Ok well, all I can do is explain myself and hope that they make my death painless.

"Ok, so what had happened was. I was on a high about how happy I was and bragged about having two girlfriends. Liam and Jade are Haters. Jade said no one brags about having two girlfriends. They brag about having Hoes," -Yeah that's right I snitched on Jade, If I'm going down she's going down too.

I told her I'm like Royalty and I had a Harem, Ya know baby cause you're my Princess and all," I said schmoozing Trinty.

Man tough crowd, She didn't smile or anything.

"Anyway they said Harem's were more than 2 people. So then I showed them that the Googles said that said a Harem can have 2 to 10,000.

"And well things were said, and I may or may have not joked about having more girlfriends but it was shit talking vs an actual desire. I am more than content with my two beautiful, loving, and understanding, girlfriends, who have a wonderful sense of humor." I said brown nosing the hell out of them.

Silence. You know like in those cowboy movies where the tumbleweed rolls by in the desert right before they have a standoff. Well, my tumbleweed just rolled by but I don't have any bullets in my gun. My Princess and Kaijara do and right now all I can do is wait for them to shoot.

"So what made Jade tell me that if it was just a little jokey joke? Or barber shop talk?" Monica asked tilting her head to me.

Jokey Joke. Oooo see that alone is bad but when you call anything a little something all of a sudden it's that much worse. Put your wallet away, Put that little wallet away. It just makes it sting so much more. Like the word is laced with disrespect.

"She was getting back at me because I asked her if she wanted to fill out an application. She was pissed and was getting revenge. She was being petty. That's all she shouldn't have said anything to you. She knew I wasn't serious. She just wanted to get me back. I promise I was just joking around."

"So, all this was because of Jade? You two and your endless battle. Joking taking jabs at each other back and forth. Reminiscing about your thot days in college. You seriously had the nerve to joke about having a Harem, adding more girlfriends, and then ask her if she wants to be a part of it?" Trinity said with so much attitude in her voice I had to lean back not to be bruised from it.

Her eyes glared at me and my heart began to race. I had never seen her so upset before. It was just a joke I never meant for it to get back to either one of them. I would never say or do anything to disrespect them. The fact that Trinity was even comfortable enough to have Monica as our girlfriend was a blessing in my eyes. I would never be greedy and ask for more. No matter what I did back in my day. Oh God am I old enough to say back in my day?

"Trinity, Mon. I swear I would never." I started but Trinity put up her hand.

She climbed off the couch and grabbed Monica's arm. "Excuse us I need a moment," Trinity said dragging Monica out of the room.
