(Dominique, Mikey & Shaq)

Dominique

I let out a huge yawn before dropping my gym bag onto the hard floor of the locker room. I sat down on one of the wooden benches when I noticed Shaquille and Mikey approaching.

"So what did you and Dejan get into lastnight that got you so tired?" Shaq joked with a silly grin wiped across his face.

"Nothing man. Chill out. You know it's not even like that," I rolled my eyes. I was feeling Dejan, no doubt, but she was a nice girl. Don't get me wrong she was bad as ever and I had my fair share of wet dreams but I would never act on them. "And anyways, I should be the one asking you about yo night seeing as how you just ditched us with no explanation!"

"Mannn," he waved his hand. "That was Jalissa on the phone. She called talking about her Moms wasn't home and to come through so you know I was not fenna pass that up."

Jalissa and Shaq weren't exactly boyfriend and girlfriend but they weren't single either. They had been talking heavy since the 8th grade so I guess it's just too hard for either one to move on. And although Shaq had hoes out the woodworks, Jalissa was basically faithful to just him. Ion see why Shaq just ain't leave her alone, she wasn't even that cute. She was brown skin, had an average body, and her braces didn't even make her cuter. She couldn't even dress which made it worse, but the worst part was her strong chin. But he loved her, I guess?

I still don't see how he spent lastnight with her instead of with Latrice. I mean we talking about Latrice with the fat ass! She may not be the baddest but compared to Jalissa she was a definite upgrade.

"I can't believe you blew off Big Booty Latrice for basic ass Jalissa," Mikey shook his head.

"See there is where you have underestimated me," Shaq smirked.

Me and Mikey looked at each other and died laughing,"Man what are you talking about?" I asked, confused.

"See after I left from chilling with Jalissa, I went and pulled up on Latrice," he started grinning real hard.

"Swear to God?" I was no longer laughing.

"I swear to God," he held up his hands in defense. "I just pulled up on her and smoked with her. I was tryna smash but she wasn't going."

"You ain't shit, dawg," Mikey commented.

"Thank you," Shaquille answered with a smile. "But I bet I smash the next time though."

"Whatever bruh," I waved him off.

"Why y'all niggas mad at me? Cause y'all ain't getting off like me?"

"Now you know I've never had a problem in that department," Mikey got defensive.

"Yeah, you ain't. But when's the last time Dommy Dom here got off?" He picked. "Tell me, what did happen last night? Cause I know you ain't get none, so why are you so tired?"

"Well since you must know, Dae stayed over last night!" I bragged even tho I know nothing went down. I was only tired because I sat up all night watching her sleep. She was just so peaceful and beautiful. I wasn't gone tell them that though.

"But did you fuck tho?" Shaq questioned.

"Bruh, I keep telling y'all it's not like that with her," I was getting annoyed.

"Naw nigga! Truth is, we all know it's only one person that's done had that, and that's Antonio. You gone have to be God to get them legs open," he joked. "You couldn't hit that if your life depended on it!"

"And you really think you can get with Latrice! I got a better chance with Dae than you got with Latrice! Oooo, and don't even get me started on the fact that Mr. Michealangalo over here been stuck in the friend zone since freshman year. Yeah, we all know how bad you want Isis. If I wanted to take it there with Dejan, trust me, I coulda been got some!"

"Bet then lil' nigga!"

"Bet what?" I asked.

"I bet I can hit Latrice before you get with Dejan and before he can get with Isis? That is unless you ain't tryna hurt her feelings. Sounds like you in love with the girl!"

It was true, I did care. I cared a lot. But I couldn't let the bros know that. "Bet!" I reached out and slapped his hand.

"I'm down," Mikey added before slapping hands with the both of us.

What in the world did I just get myself into?
