Never Satisfied: A New Orleans Tale

"Which One Should I Choose?"

What started out as a one-night stand, grew into a weeklong adventure.  And from there, Elgin and I formed a relationship.

       I didn't plan for it to last as long, but there was something that he possessed that just drew me to him.

       It was like I was hooked.  My body yearned to feel his soft palms glide across my skin and take me into a world that I could only reach when high off of his essence. 

       "He knows my body inside out and when we make love... it's addicting," I tried to explain to Khandi as we moseyed down the block on an afternoon stroll in the brisk winter air.

       "Shit, you're going to be addicted to that ass whipping that Sky is going to give you if he ever finds out."

       Her comment made me feel uneasy.  "Well that's why I'ma stop seeing him, I'm just waiting for the right time."

       "I just want to know how are you pulling this shit off while you living with Sky."

"Sky still thinks I'm in school girl."

"But you dropped out like a month ago."

       "Yeah, but he doesn't know that. I mean I was supposed to let him know a while back, but I would chicken out every time I fixed my lips to tell him.  Now it's working out to my advantage.

       "So while Sky thinks you're in class, you really be fucking around with Elgin?"  Khandi was trying to figure my operation out.

       "Mm hmm."

       "And Elgin, he knows about Sky right?"

       "Hell no, Elgin isn't one of those type of guys.  He doesn't like to share."

       "Okay, so how the hell do you pull that one off?"

       "Well he thinks I'm still dancing so whenever Sky is home, I just tell him I'm at work.

       "Oh okay, you've really got your shit all worked out."

       "You already know!"

       "And you better pray that shit don't back fire."

       "It won't, believe that."

       "Yeah, okay boo.  So anyways, I decided to work last night..."

       "You went to work on a Monday?  Must have been an event going down."

       "No, just a regular Monday.  But that's not the point! Guess who I saw there?" She waited for an answer, but when I didn't say anything she responded, "Your bestie."

       "Who Kyrielle?"  I stopped walking to let Sasha do her business on the neighbor's lawn.

       "Yes ma'am and she wasn't with Nique either!"

       "Who was she with then?"

       "Ace bitch!"

       "Are you sure that was Kyrielle he was with?"

       "I know that bitch when I see her and that was her! She was grinding on him and shit like that was her dude."

       While scooping up Sasha's dookie into a little bag, I said, "That's just how she dances." After disposing the bag into the nearest garbage can, I added, "And her and Ace do be chilling from time to time so I guess it's nothing."

       "Well the shit didn't look like nothing, but I guess." 

       "Are you hungry?" I inquired as we walked inside and took Sasha off of her leash.  "I made some lasagna."
