DROWNING

Tender Love

"Blind date?", I questioned Kristy as she typed a prescription for a patient.

"Mhmm. It's a guy my dad is mentoring. He's a dentist as well. Daddy said you looked so lonely when you third wheeled with mom, Mike and I.", she spoke, not taking her eyes off her computer screen.

"And you didn't think that I would want to know in advance and not the day of?", I mugged.

"I knew if I told you ahead of time, you would find an excuse to have it canceled. And look! It's the day of and you have nothing going on!", she giggled finally looking at me.

Rolling my eyes, I could feel my face heating up.

It was Friday and Justin's week to have the kids so when Kristy and I got home, we got to work on dolling me up.

"Bitch! Them twins gave you ass. Remember you use to be like SpongeBob?", she laughed as she gave my butt a soft smack.

"I was not no fucking SpongeBob. Don't play with me.", I laughed along.

I had on a red backless spaghetti strap dress with gold heels and accessories.

My hair was in a curly side part that ran down my back.

I was oiled up and smelling like coco butter.

I had on lace underwear just in case ya girl get some tonight too!

Kristy had on some old R&B jams as we danced around the bathroom.

She had on her pajamas and bonnet as she sprayed my hair with oil sheen.

"Kissing you is not enough for me!", Kristy sang "Ask Of You" by Raphael.

"You know I'm a big boy, and big boys have desires.", Mike sang as he peeked into the bathroom startling Kristy and I.

"Ah! What the fuck! You scared me. What you doing here?", Kristy mugged.

Mike's laughter filled the air as Kristy became more annoyed.

Slanting her eyes, she crossed her arms.

"You crack me up, baby. Justin and I stopped by to grab my wallet I left here last night.", he finally spoke.

"Where y'all going?", she asked.

"Just to the bar.", Mike shrugged as his eyes drifted to me.

"Y'all going out somewhere?", he asked.

"Not me but daddy set Brea up on a blind date!", Kristy smiled happily.

"Blind date?", we heard from the hallway.

My eyes widened as I looked over at Mike who was placing his hand over his face and shaking his head.

"What the fuck he doing in my house! I told you about letting people in my house, Mike!", Kristy shouted as she placed the oil sheen down.

"I know. I know. I'm sorry, baby.", he spoke as he stepped into the bathroom.

"Don't act like you don't fucking know me, Kristy.", Justin said with an annoyed tone as he stepped in the doorway so that we can see him.
