Triangle

Back and Forth(7)

"Wish a bitch wooould diss me, Hoping you would kiss me, underneath the constilaation, if it's any consolation, if it's worth the conversaaation, I don't do this, all of the time, I just say that every tiiime it's worth the lie, it's worth the crime, it's worth the bad karma. Iiiiiii bet you like it rooough."

Me, Danielle and Jenay sang at the top of our lungs in unison as we switched from SZA to Tiller

"I wanna go crazy with you, have a lil baby with you and just cater to youu"

"It's up at the next exit. Take a left."

"I lost my way, I'm searching for these woooords to say to you"

We pulled up at the poetry spot down in Watts close to Roscoe's. Danielle stripped at night, worked at this web design firm during the day as an assistant and took online classes when she wasn't fetching coffee or making to do lists. I'm pretty sure she was the only assistant that could afford this fly ass Audi. Them niggas at the club had her living spoiled as hell, nails and hair was always on fleek and she stayed iced out. "You wanna kill this? Jenay handed me the rest of a blunt not quite small enough to call a roach. I hit it a few times before tossing it in Danielle's mini trash can. She was too extra for that one. We hopped out the car and headed inside.

I had on this nude silk slip with canary yellow studs and a yellow studded choker with the strap up heels to match and a white, yellow and nude kimono. My hair was in braided buns, I felt fine as hell. Jenay wore a red suede bodycon dress, suede thigh highs, a fur coat and a diamond choker, her hair braided on one side cascading down on the other. Danielle's jet black hair fell down her shoulders onto her jade green and white jumpsuit. Sweet music rang through the dimly lit room as a girl slowly sang an acapella version of Hey Ya by OutKast. Almost everyone was seated in the many lounge areas spread throughout.

"It's almost your turn!" Danielle nudged me grinning. My palms were sweating; my phone started to slip from my hands as I ran through my lines one more time. "Samara Rose everyone!" The crowd roared and I looked around the realizing how many vaguely familiar faces supported my previous work. I stepped up to the stage and got into character.
I took a deep breath. "Is it too much for me to grip your heart like I'll grip your thighs, lie my soul intertwined with yours and let our love soar?" My face changed from sweetness to intensity, like the intensity I saw on India's face earlier today. "Let me love you raw like I fuck you." Gasps and a couple lone cheers rippled through the crowd. "Let me love you like an addict to their drug use, one shot oxytocin, two shots dopamine, will you shoot up with me? Be my dope fiend? Lean on me like you had too much promethazine? Keen to see your brain naked. Don't be ashamed to let me see deep in your mind, to let me run my finger down your spine wondering how far your brain stem extends and how powerful your head really is. Both ways baby you brilliant. I'm always on some silly shit but let me know how it really feel. Let me fulfill you like I fill you, let me feel you, feel me, just don't let me leave you empty. You got too much space for that shit. Let space have that shit.  Don't tell me you need space. I was one with you and now I'm not even 100%. I can't be whole with all these holes in my body where you were when you laid, soul intertwined with mine until I loved you sore. I love you still."

The crowd cheered and I couldn't stop the edges of my lips from turning up. Danielle came up and gave me a hug, lifting me up in a spin. She cheesed hard. That's my girl! I love seeing this side of you-all deep and shit! I blushed, not really knowing how to take a compliment from Danielle without feeling nervous for some reason. "Well hey to you too baby girl" I heard behind me. My stomach did a little flip when I realized who it was. "How the fuck we keep running into each other" I thought to myself. I turned to see Kiah looking up at me with a slight pout. She took a step closer and gave me a hug. "I'm up next. Don't go anywhere!" She winked, slipping the mic from underneath my fingers and reattaching it to the stand. Danielle's eyebrow raised, looking back and forth between Kiah and I. "What the fuck was that" she mouthed silently, intertwining our arms as we walked back to our seats with Jenay in tow. "That's India's girlfriend"

"Why you whispering? And girlfriend..the fuck? What was said earlier? I could tell her ass was feeling you. It was hella nostalgic bitch me and Nay almost shed some whole tears" Danielle and Jenay exchanged looks before laughing. Jenay turned to me. "Girl for REAL. Y'all nappy headed asses look a lil cuter together now that y'all done glo'd up or whatever" they laughed harder before high fiving, nudging me as I rolled my eyes. I'll tell y'all hoes later, she boutta start. The lights dimmed again as Kiah prepared to recite her piece.

"Phoenix of feelings I arise anew with you dancing though my amygdala releasing the fantasy of pleasure without pain. You light my axons on fire, beautiful savage torch in hand running through the dry brush leaving me anything but dry, anything but afraid, anything but tame." Kiah locked her gaze on me.

"Ravage you until convulsion without end singing brazen hymns of submission to the adulation of my tounge running circles around your rapture as you wrap me up in your wet like the ocean and warm like the sun. I feign helpless to your love as the attraction to your touch when your thighs graze mine overwhelms me, celestial goddess Shining comet Earth Wind and Fire damn what have I started you sparked it the moment I saw you unaware I stared wishing on your stardust that you'd be just a little bit mine."

The crowd cheered as Kiah bowed slightly before exiting the stage. "Ooo girl here she come" Jenay tapped my leg before putting her hand on her mouth and chin, turning in the opposite direction as Danielle shot me a slightly shady look. "I can't take you niggas nowhere, act normal fa like 5 minutes!" Kiah came right up, putting her hands on my lower thighs as she leaned over to whisper in my ear "In case you wondering if you can have someone you can vibe with between rounds, you ain't gotta look no further. I can give you anything you want. Anything. All you gotta do is ask..Talk about that with your girls when I walk away. Think about it. And when you come to the realization that I'm what you need in ya life you know where to find me." She kissed me on the cheek as Danielle and Jenay stared each on one side inches away from me, both marinating on the monologue she just spit. We got up simultaneously ready to get in the car and discuss the last few days' events.
