Dark Like Me 2: Game of Desire

Chapter 15: Mixing

"That is amazing, Sirrah." Tyasia and Kinsey exclaim with excitement as I show them my modeling picture in one of the magazines as we march through the supermarket.

"I know, right. I feel so great about this." I sniffle a little feeling tears dancing at the rims of my eyes. I quickly wipe them away.

"See," Tyasia hits me with the now rolled up magazine. "I told you that you will be a big hit."

"That you did." I go back to pushing the buggy. I switch subjects. "I hope that you two like Visellia and the others like I do. They have been such a big help. Well, mostly Visellia. Rory is cool, but Cayne...he is a bit creepy."

"Psh, I will beat his ass if he looks at you or Tyasia the wrong way." Kinsey waves her fist in the air in a playful manner.

We all laugh causing an elderly white lady to turn and give us a dirty look. Kinsey jumps at her and the elderly lady flinches dropping her cane.

"Kinsey," I groan a little embarrassed at what she just did.

"I am sorry." Kinsey goes and helps the lady and offers her an apology. The lady accepts and limps on to the other aisle. Kinsey comes back to us. "I got a little carried away there."

"Damn, more like too hyped for someone to look at you the wrong way." I shake my head.

"Sorry guys."

We say nothing else about the manner and continue shopping for food. 

We make it back to me and Visellia's townhouse and enter. I look around the corner in Visellia's room and she is sitting on her bed painting her toenails. She looks up, "Oh, hey, Sirrah. You are back. Are your friends here too?"

"Yeah, they are in the kitchen. Come on."

"Alright." She puts the nail polish on her nightstand and waddles weirdly to the kitchen so her nail polish won't get messed up. "Hey," she greets.

"Hi." Tyasia and Kinsey wave.

"I am Tyasia."

"And I am Kinsey."

"Nice to meet you two. I am Visellia and I need to go get ready before the boys get here." Visellia waddles back to her room and closes her door.

We begin to unpack the food. "She already seems nice." Tyasia places the muffin mix on the counter.

"She really is. But she can be a mess from time to time. But she is good people." I put the eggs in the refrigerator.

"Well, I hope the others are as nice as she is." Kinsey balls up a plastic bag once it is empty.

"They are."

"Oh my Gawd," Tyasia exclaims.

"What?" Kinsey answers frantically.

"We finally get to meet Shiriki."

Kinsey squeals now realizing the same thing. I forgot that I had yet to show them a picture of Shiriki, on the count, I don't have any at all. I don't think. "Yes, you do get to meet him."

"Oh yeah. This is definitely going to be a whole lot of fun." Kinsey rubs her hands together in a devilish manner.

"No, it's not. Wait...it is. But, don't go intragating him or anything like that. Please."

"That...cannot be promised. We need to make sure that he is good for you." Kinsey makes a point.

"Yeah, because we weren't around to do the same for Cole and look how that turned out."

"Horrible." Kinsey shakes her head and moves on to the next bag.

"So, we have a duty to keep and we are going to do it." Tyasia puts the yeast rolls on the counter.

"Don't worry, Sirrah. We don't question him bad."

"Oh, that makes me feel so much better." I sarcastically say balling up another empty plastic bag.

"I am glad you do."
