Irresistible Desires

Her body ached and her hairstyle not as slick as it was the night before but it worked. Italy hadnt given her a collection time but since he had vacated her bed her one bed flat felt lonely.  Jumping on the bus she  grabbed the nearest seat and hummed alone to the tracks in her earphones.  It wasnt a regular thing, freedom so galdly she had accepted Italys' offer to keep the twins over night. Twelve stops later she pressed the bell a wave  of nasuea overtaking her rushing through the people departing she just made it to the bin,wretchiing all she could think about was breathing. Composing herself she shrugged of concerns from passers by and wiped her mouth stopping at the shop picking up a few essentials for her girly afternoon. Erasing the doubts from her mind she entered  Garfied House.

Although they hadnt always been fine with each other their common demonitar being Hakeem Stone over time their love and hatred for him brought them together. Italy had been the first to break the cycle and even though she was the first to start the fight but knowing Shay had the twins her youngest childrens siblings eradicated all the annomosity. Hakeem would never change she knew that for certain, visiting her in the hospital had been a turning point for  Italy , she had grown. Now they had both been kicked out the picture their volatile relationship had gotten better the kids actually loved the fact they had more brothers and sisters.

Shay had always known she was second best to Italy when it came to Hakeem but when he returned home she was sure he would return to her. Kiesha had been a shock and the new girl on his block and again she was the secret. His secret rendezvous had dribbled to nothing over the year only last night he had called for attention and she had supplied all the attention he needed. It hadn’t taken much for her to sleep with him but she wanted him. As he ploughed 8 ½ inches into her thick and luscious frame she had no thoughts for Italy, kiesha or the kids in that moment she was number 1.

Shay didnt know if she would ever get him out of her system, one thing she did know was Italy must never know she was sleeping with the enemy. How Keisha took him a way from Italy permantly she would ne ber know she just wished whatever it was they bottled it and shipped it directly to her.

Italy opened the door in her black floor lenght dress with her hair wrapped onto of her head. "You gonna stand there." Shoving the bag in her hand she stepping through the door into the bright hallway.

Tiny feet padded down the hallway and suddenly her feet were vlamped. "Mummy." Shaya squealed.

Seconds later another squeal as Hakeem jumped off the sofa “Hey Mummy” looking down at her baby she smiled and ruffled his hair.

“Did my baby get big over night, huh little man.” Running away to find his sister Shay entered the cloudy kitchen food and weed mingled together turned her stomach not a smoker she retreating from the smoke quickly seating herself on the comfortable sofa under the window. A short while later Italy exited the kitchen her hair wrapped in a gold scraf she looked great for her age.

No wonder Hakeem fell for her she had it going on then and now.”What’s up girl how was your night."

Shay bit her lip and replied “great, it finished a bit early though.”

“At least you had fun.”  Leaving Shay alone Italy returned with two glasses and a bottle of Lambrini and kicked off her gold slippers. “So now I need details.”

The two women sat in sofas opposite each other a glass table centre piece on a rug in the middle and large plasma on the end wall. Everything was rather clinical for a home that housed a mother of three. Italy Campbell was the eldest was thirty eight a good 10 years on Shay and Hakeem, between her lips hung a cigarette which were hardly ever free of one even though he house smelt the furthest form an ashtray. 

Shay was 28, dark skinned and tall she had the figure of a model but was so insecure it was a shame Italy often thought. Today they had chosen to meet to discuss the subject of Hakeem had been relinquishing his responsibilities slowly but surly until they ceased and Keisha was reaping the benefits according to Italy.

For twenty minutes the children entertained themselves with Bolt DVD and Shari listened to Italy moan expressionless until she uttered his name  “Me and Hakeem have been over forever and he still insists on trying my patience." she spoke through a cloud of smoke “after all the bullshit he persists with. I know Keisha aint gonna last long. Up to last night he was here trying to stay its amazing. Im so gald I have Clive.” Italy saw the change in Shays’ features but she ignored it and continued“ I checked his phone and you know they say be careful what you fucking look for, the first image was well.. It wasn't me.” Shari cast her eyes low stopping her hand from covering her front even though it wasn't exsposed. "It’s all a cycle and were paying for it we only got ourselves to blame I mean how many promises did he make and how many did he keep.”

Breathing in well deserved air Shay sat back  arms folded while Italy securitised her, If life had taught Italy any ting it was to read signs before they stopped coming and that defensiveness screamed ' I’m fucking him bitch.'

Ready to pounce the phone rang in the distance running in Hakeem handed the trembling phone to his mother.. Kissing her son on the head she ushered him back out the room. Checking the list of missed call she gasped. “What is it?” Shari quizzed

“It’s Keisha.” Pushing redial she was eager to hear what Keisha had to say, the phone was still warm when it answered.”Keisha.”  Italy rolled her eyes to the ceiling dramatically.”It’s important.”
