The Essence Of Love

Panty Droppin' Bass

About an hour  later my girls and I  were on our Bellini Berton sectional in the living room. If my mommy was here she would cuss us out for sitting on her all white $17,000 designer baby. I still wasn't able to get a hold of her, and Torian said he had to do something for his mom. Lying ass nigga.

"It's gonna be OK boo, we're here." Ellarie says while pulling me me into a tight hug. I cling to her for dear life and bawl my eyes out, snot and all.

"Oohh, Eww girl." She scrunches up her face, Mani and Skye giggle.

"Shut up bitches! This isn't funny" I moan dramatically.

Everyone knows that my family means a lot to me. My parents have been married for almost 20 years. Of course they've had their ups and downs but no marriage is perfect. Their successful business owners, with busy schedules, but it always seemed like they took time out for each other.

I'm always out shopping with my mom for some new lingerie. She loves to quote on quote spice things up in the bedroom. That phrase always makes me throw up a little just thinking of my parents in that way , but I get it.

"What you won't do some desperate woman will." She always says. I'm not very close to my father, because he's too stern and serious but I'm definitely a mommy's girl. We're both goofy as hell and I can tell her any and everything without hesitation.

"It's not the end of the world ma." I look up as Rico comes through the front door. I was low key happy he was here but I still glared at my girls. I don't know this nigga like that for him to just waltz inside my house like this. They all had guilty looks on their faces but I'll find the culprit later and cuss her ass out, if I don't get abducted by his ass first that is.

"We'll be in your room." Skye says as they go upstairs.

"How do you know where I live?" I sniffle, looking at him a lil crazy.

"You wanna talk?" He ignores me , as he comes to sit next to me.

"I don't know. I don't even know you, and I don't really appreciate you coming into my home like this unannounced." I pout, folding my arms like the big baby I am.

"Aight,  I'm out then, I don't do that babying shit. Woman up ma." He starts to get up.

"Wait--OK fine, let's talk." I say, grabbing his arm.

He gives me that same sexy ass stare from the studio.

"You know, you look sexy as hell when you dance." He says lowly.

I open my mouth but nothing comes out.

He slides off the couch and kneels between my legs. I shake my head, lost in thought ,and he gives me a smirk. He gently pushes my legs apart part and starts rubbing both his hands up my thighs. I know this man is not...

"Ricoo---" I gasp as he kisses my inner thigh.

"Shhhh." He whispers, gently pulling at the waistband of my leggings. Im literally frozen , but enjoying every second.

"Can I?" He asks.

I nod as I let him pull them down my legs, revealing my hot pink, lace boyshorts. He pulls them down too and begins to make a trail of kisses up my thighs, stopping at my center. I let out a soft whimper as I feel his warm tongue swirl-- .

"ESSENCE?"

"Huh?"  I snap back to reality and he's still sitting next to me,looking at me like I'm crazy as hell.

"Oh--I'm sorry my—my mind is just alllll over the place right now." I quickly cross my legs , thinking of what my dirty mind just put me through. I nervously look down at my white french pedicure. I hate when my ass zones out like that, my imagination can be wild.

"It's all good. I'm here for you as a new friend but I'm definitely not gonna baby your grown ass. You too good for that." He liftts my chin and we stare at each other. He leans in closer like he wants to kiss me so I closed my eyes in anticipation.

"'I'm gonna show you what a real nigga is like one day. Torian ain't it ma." He says with a panty dropping bass in his voice.

I pop my eyes open , and he's just staring at me , with a sly ass grin. Our lips only a centimeter apart.

"I -I---" 

The doorbell chimes, interrupting our moment. I jump up like my black ass is on fire. Waaay too happy to get away from him.

"Coming!" I yell.

I could see Torian's figure through the stained glass door window. His ol' disappearing when I needed him the most ass.

"Hey beautiful, I'm sorry I had to run , are you doing better?" He asks giving me a quick hug.

"I'm fine, the girls and Rico are here." I say.

"Aye, wassup T?" Rico stands up and greets him like it was nothing.

"Hey bruh, uh--whatchu doing here?" Torian asks suspiciously , my girls coming downstairs right on que.

"He came with me." Skye says. I should've known it was her sneaky ass. I narrow my eyes at her , and she blows me an innocent kiss.

"Have you talked to your mom yet?" Elle asks.

"No, not yet." I frown.

"You know she's always on the move hun, I'm sure she's fine." Mani reassures me.

"I need to get out of this house!" I fuss.

"Come on , let's get you something to wear." Elle says, the girls lead me back upstairs to my room as Torian and Rico talk. I quickly shut my door.

"Y'all tryna get me in trouble? I'm supposed to be grieving!" I whisper-yell at them.

"Bitch, times like these you just need some good di---"

"Shush Skye, no she doesn't." Mani interrupts and Elle laughs.

"I cannot with y'all. I want my mommyyy!" I whimper.

"Stop being such a baby , you need to be out there dropping Torian's dusty ass." Mani says.

"Yea, I don't like him, his energy is way off, that's why I invited Rico over. He asked about you at practice today." Skye says. Imma get her sly ass back.

"Whatever, yall look ,so tell me why while we were talking downstairs, my mind went somewhere else for a minute ,and I was literally imagining Rico eating me out ,right there on the sofa."

Their faces are priceless as they sit in awkward silence.

"Biiiiiihh." Mani drags.

"Oh wow boo, go get in that big ass closet of yours and pick something out so we can go eat." Elle shoos me away and Skye tags along.

"He's really into yooouu." She sings. I can do a love sp--"

"What all did he say? Did you know he would be at the studio today? How do you know him?" I interrupt, rattling off questions.

  "Slow dooownn!" She laughs.

"He use to talk to my step sister Kaia. He just wanted to know if you and Torian were serious and how long you've been dancing. I told him not really,  and basically all of your life." She beams proudly.

"When I got the call from Elle about the situation, I told him what was going on ,and he asked for your address."

"Well damn, good thing he's not some psycho since you just gave him my damn address! That's that white side coming out for sure." I roll my eyes and she sucks her teeth.

"Girl bye, I've known him for years." She playfully nudges me and I grab the outfit I picked out earlier with my black Chanel winter coat. When I was done getting ready I tell the guys we were going out for some girl time and we go our separate ways.
