Swapped

Chapter 39

Lauren

I couldn’t find her and I was annoyed as crap. I was bored I had nothing to do with my time. When this happen I did what I always did. I called Rodney back to back until he took his phone off the hook.  Summer use to call me crazy, unstable I was not! I am not I simply have nothing better to do. There were men that attempted to get my attention but they bored me. Females did to and that really was not my thing. My mom was a mess. She drove me insane with the blubbering all the time and dad stayed drunk. I wondered if they would mourn me the same. The truth was I didn’t miss Summer at all. Sometimes I thought of times when we were young and I was teaching her something and I felt warm but I spent so much time hating her that I didn’t miss her more like I miss what could or should have been. I should have been better to her and for her but I really wasn’t. I got in my car and started driving I knew where I would end up before I got there and I knew I would not be welcomed but I went anyway because that was who I was. I did things normal well adjusted people didn’t do just because.

Rodney had company he usually did. I got out my car and popped the trunk and reached in and grabbed my baseball bat. “Rodney” I screamed as I took a swing at the flower pot sitting on his bottom step. It made such a ruckus as it shattered. “Rodney honey I’m home” The lights came on at a few of the neighbor’s house so I yelled louder “Nothing to see here people. Just Summer’s sister you remember her the wife. I know its since he has so many whores in and out!” Rodney opened the door and rushed me. I swung at him and missed and some how I ended up on the ground laying across his lap. “I’m tired of this shit Lauren this is the second time you have woke me up this week and I have to work” He yanked up my dress and started spanking me like I was a child. “Stop it I mean stop it! She is gone and punishing me is not going to bring her back.” He said hitting me until he was out of breath. Then he shoved me off of him grabbing the bat “Go home and don’t come back or the next time I will call the police.” He marched up the steps and slammed the door. The door swung right back open and a woman came running towards me “And I am not a whore! I am his mother!” she shouted but Rodney grabbed her and pulled her back inside saying “its okay ma she just sad is all” the door slammed again. And I pulled myself up and slid back in my car. I needed a life I really did I was on a slippery slope and I really had nothing to loose. I started my car and backed out. Rodney was way more fun to fuck with than Joy she usually broke down into tears and moved which was a headache because I was running out of money following her from state to stated. I can’t believe Summer was so cool with such a wus. She had no fight in her at all. I imagined her friends to be a little spunky like mine. Well at least the friends that i use to have. They were all doing adult things now like marriage, work and babies and I just could not deal . My life just did not turn out the way that I thought it should be and I wasn’t sure how to turn things around. I called my body Tech “Tech what you got for me”

“Bitch its three in the morning” he wined.

“Look buddy” I said

“Buddy we are not friends and you still owe me three hundred bucks for the last information I gave you. So lady until you have my money don’t call me I don’t work for free.” He said slamming the phone down in my ear. Asshole! Who still has a landline phone with a name like Tech seriously dude get it together. I tossed my cell in the passenger seat and drove to McDonalds. I ordered everything on the menu like almost then I sat in my car and pigged out. I loved attention I always have. I done things that would give me attention like right now I was working on a book The Summer McCoy story. I mean really I had been approached about the life time movie no joke well my parents had and so I had money that would soon be pouring in but it was slow. A lot of people may think I’m wrong for capitalizing off Summer’s death but I’m like if I don’t tell the story some one else will. We all know in this day and age its all about the Benjamin’s. I spied a guy walking up to the trash can, He looked at me then walked over. “You know Summer McCoy” he asked.

“Yea my sister” I said.

”Wow you look a lot alike.  We use to be cool” he said. I looked him up and down and thought not a bad package.

“Yea how close were you” I asked. He smiled and I knew what that smile meant. “What is your name?”

“James”

“Nice to meet you James,  Wanna go back to my place” I asked. He narrowed his eyes and I slid up my skirt.

“Lead the way baby” I pulled up close to his car and once he was in I sped off. He kept up like a champ and when I pulled up to my apartment he was right behind me filling me up before I could get the door open. Old habits die hard because here I was banging the brains out of one of Summers exes. Afterwards I didn’t feel guilty a little ashamed. I don’t why I still felt the need to compete with my very dead sister. I rolled up a blunt and I didn’t particularly care but I asked anyway as I inhaled “So how did you meet Summer” I asked?

“We worked together and she had a thing for me. We use to joke around all the time. I use to tell her she was the poster girl image of the chick teen age boys jacked off too. So she hooked me up with her homegirl when she came in town. I guess I did okay because the next night she showed up with her girl and they let’s just say fulfilled a fantasy I had” he laughed.

“You saying you had a threesome with my sister” I asked?

“You and her are very free spirits, Where y’all from again?” he asked.

“So now you have had sisters. That must be worth something right” I asked. He looked at me with narrowed eyes.

“You suppose to discuss money before you have s&& you no” he said.

“I’m not a prostitute James” I said. He gave he a suspicious looked then pulled out his wallet saying “A woman that accepts money for sex is a prostitute; however, I’m not knocking the hustler because I believe money s should be made where it’s money to be made.” He slid be two hundred bucks and I smiled at him. He looked down at his manhood and back at me.

“Now you want another hundred you know what need to be done” he said. I slid to my knees with no hesitation. Once I was done he slid me the hundred and stood and buckled his jeans.  “You got a number” he said. I gave him my number as I licked my lips. He smiled at me and said “Girl you something you know that. Let me get out of here before I spend all my rent money. I’ll call you later uh uh say what did you say your name was again” he asked?

“Lauren” I said. He punched my name in his contacts I assumed. Then he wwalked out without saying bye. I quickly reached for my phone and dialed a number.

“Hello” a sleepy voice said into the phone.

“Hey bitch I got your money and some for the next job so wake you ass up and find out where Joy McCoy is. You know where I live I expect to see you with in the hour” I said. Tech sighed into the phone.

“I’m going to start charging you for the house call” he said. Then he hung up in my ear before I could respond. Whatever I was in a good mood. I had come and in a matter of days I would be on that bitch’s ass she thought she could shake me, well she thought wrong!
