Thick & Thin

Chapter Six; Sex Toys and Ruffled Sheets

Two Weeks Later
Arriving, in front of her 3 story home after a very much needed morning of self pampering, Kelly pulled into her two car garage and parked her Range Rover alongside Roy's yellow sports car; one in which he barely drove. It was like a toy to him, she never understood why he spent so much money on it in the first place if he just left it up in the garage all of the time.
After retrieving her shopping bags from the back of the car, she went around to close the garage but the sight of a familiar car pulling up in her driveway caused her to stop.
"What happened to people calling before they showed up at your house!?" Kelly stated sarcastically as she watched Beyoncé get out of her car.
"Oh hush. Like I thought, you weren't doing anything important." she pressed the button on her keychain and locked the doors to her precious Accord before proceeding towards her friend. She walked up to her eying the bags in her hands. "I know you didn't go shopping without me!!" Beyoncé said as they walked into the kitchen of Kelly's home.
"I sure did!"
"Hmph. Wait until I tell Michelle." B chuckled and sat down at the kitchen table while Kelly sat her bags down and opened the fridge; picking up a bottle of Dasani.
"That's if you can get in touch with her. I haven't talked to her in about a week!"
"Same here, didn't you tell me she gave her number to that Kevin dude?"
"Yep. Don't tell me she dropped us for him." Kelly laughed and smiled to herself. "I did good, huh?"
"Yes you did. Thank you, I was really starting to think Chelle was going to be one of the lonely old women with a dozen cats to take care of."
"So what do I owe this wonderful visit? You need a babysitter for Brendan or something?"
"NO!" Beyoncé rolled her eyes and sat back in the chair; crossing her legs. "I just dropped him off with his father. I can't stand that fool, he just wants me to ring his neck, I swear."
Kelly laughed and sat down across from her. "You two are crazy. From the shit you tell me, it's obvious he still loves you!"
"Psh. Terrell doesn't love me, he loves my p-." she cocked her head back and stated more so without thinking and stopped mid-sentence. Kelly had already caught on and damn near choked on her water.
"WHAT!?"
"Nothing!" B smiled; hoping she'd drop the subject.
"Oh heeeeellllll No! Please don't tell me you're still fucking Terrell!" Kelly laughed in disbelief. When Beyoncé didn't respond, she knew right there that she was. "Are you serious!!!??"
"Okay, it's not like we've been at it all this time. This happened like a few months ago, and we just never stopped." Beyoncé explained and Kelly shook her head. The main reason B had kept this to herself, she knew neither one of them would approve of her still sleeping with Terrell. She knew the problems it would cause from the get-go and that still didn't stop her.
"You are a mess, you know that? So that explains why he's always poppin off at the mouth about your other friends, huh? He thinks you still belong to him." Kelly stated displeased. Poor Brendan, she thought. It wasn't his fault that God had assigned two fools as his parents.
"Apparently!" B looked down and twiddled her fingers together.
"And you have no intentions of ending it do you?" Kelly eyed her best friend, knowing exactly what her answer was going to be. Nope!
Instead she looked up with a blank expression on her face and sighed. "That's my current problem! I want to, but ..." she shrugged not even knowing the answer to that herself. "Do you know Shawn told me he loved me the other day!" B had been holding in this news for days and was relieved to finally share it with another soul.
"Word?" Kelly's eyes bucked, automatically feeling sorry for Shawn. She knew B had probably kicked him to the curb after he told her that. "What did you do?" she asked; pondering that exact thought.
"Nothing. That was the day after Chelle's party, remember I came over here to get my car all distraught?" she asked and Kelly nodded.
"Yea, that morning, he hit me with this whole guilt trip intervention." she sighed and rested her chin in the palm of her hand. "As much as I hate to admit it, he's right."
"humph. Me and Chelle tell you this shit every other day and you don't want to listen to us, but once Shawn says something, you see the light." Kelly laughed and B kicked her leg under the table.
"Shut up!"
"So you didn't give him a response when he told you how he felt about you!?"
Wide-eyed, she shook her head no as if she wanted to say duh! "I didn't know what to say."
"The least you could have done was told him you weren't ready for a commitment or something. Not giving him a response at all was a lot worse B!"
"I know, I know. I've tried calling him, but he isn't answering my calls!" she shrugged. "I think he's mad at me!"
"What! Beyoncé has dudes blocking her calls? Miss P-I-M-P herself. Ha! I bet that hurt huh?"
She rolled her eyes at Kelly's smart remark and stood up. "You have no sympathy at all do you!?"
"I sure don't! You sit around and play with these guy's hearts this is what you get in return. I've always told you that!" Kelly replied, flipping threw a Macy's catalog that was on the table.
"mmhm." She opened the fridge in search of something to trigger her appetite but failed. Kelly seriously needed to be at the grocery store instead of the mall.
Walking back to the table she stopped and started going threw her shopping bags. Spotting an unfamiliar logo on one of the bags, she decided to go threw that one first, completely shocked at what she pulled out! "WHAT THE HELL?" she started laughing; causing Kelly's neck to snap back.
Kelly jumped up and snatched the object out of her hands; forcefully throwing it back inside of the bag. Beyoncé covered her mouth and tried to hold in her laughter.
"Kelly! What are you doing buying sex toys! Oh my god." she threw her head back and held onto the counter. B's laugh was always the contagious type so she couldn't help but to join in.
"Excuse me for trying to add some excitement to my love life, okay?" Kelly chided and sat back down at the table while Beyoncé followed.
"Oh no. It's nothing wrong with it. I just never pictured you..." Beyoncé took a minute to form her sentence and Kelly cut her off.
"Oh come on B! I'm not that damn prude!"
"What, you think this is going to help elongate Roy's little problem?"
"I really wouldn't call it a problem. Things are just flat out boring now!" Kelly sighed and tossed her magazine across the table.
"Damn!" Beyoncé looked around, keeping her thoughts to herself, for once. Grateful enough to never have to have gone through that.

On the other side of town. Michelle rolled over in her sleep, coming in contact with an unfamiliar being lying next to her. Her eyelids slowly flickered open and she panicked at the sight in front of her. A naked Kevin laid parallel to herself in the same state. They had been spending a LOT of time together in the past two weeks, but Michelle had no intentions of letting him getting this far in that short matter of time. Her deprivation of the opposite sex, must have really been that serious.
Her sudden movement jilted him and he rolled over; draping his arm over her stomach; adoringly.
Hesitantly, she pulled the sheet up to her neck. I can't believe I fucked him ALREADY! She thought to herself as the events from the night before replayed in her head. Even though, she was physically attracted to him, it had to be the liquor. He had came over the night before and they were talking over a few glasses of wine; eventually things just got out of hand. Michelle had always been one to go by the three month rule, majority of the time- the guys never even made it that far.
The feel of his light breathing on her neck calmed her mood and the mischievous grin on her face was priceless. This definitely called for a meeting with the girls. They were never going to believe this.
