New Beginning

CHAPTER TWELVE

Friday

Naomi and I were at my house eating the dinner I cooked while my children were in the backyard playing. We hadn't had the time to really talk this week. She's been so busy with studying  and work so I was happy to see her. I was catching her up with Chris and I's shenanigans. Her reactions were priceless as always.

"So you grabbed that dick," she screamed in shock. I giggled covering my mouth trying to get her to keep it down. I'm pretty sure the kids couldn't hear her or even knew what we were talking about but still I felt like a child with a dirty secret.

"Yes bitch I did and I can't believe that I did."

"I can't believe you did either. Oh my sweet Raya what has gotten into you," she poked my stomach smiling hard.

"I don't even know. I'm starting to feel like a little hoe or something," I admitted. Naomi scoffed while giving me a "bitch please" stare.

"Hoe, shmo, flo, wooah," she fanned my statement away as though it was no big deal before getting up from the table to put her dishes in the sink. "If you're a hoe for that I don't know what the hell your husband is. Sorry to inform you sis but his ass got you beat by a long shot. Anywaaays, you're grabbing anacondas in the jungle and shit did you at least get to ride a horse in a field while you were at it?"

I frowned my face in confusion by this girl's crazy ass analogy. I laughed in bewilderment because who thinks of something like that to say.

"Bitch you say what?"

"Did you ride that dick hoe you know what I'm saying," she returned to her seat looking at me with a raised eyebrow.

"No I did not. We just watched Netflix and he went home later. But I ain't gonna lie when we hugged he did kind of touch my butt."

Naomi frowned at me in disgust. "Really? He kind of touched my butt," she mimicked in a little girl voice before rolling her eyes. "We ain't 10. I thought this was a juicy ass story. And I hope y'all didn't watch Stranger Things that's all I know."

"Ooops," I batted my eyelashes looking at her innocently. "And yes we did watch Stranger Things since you wanna talk shit."

"Whewww, bitches ain't even got the dick yet and already moving funny. Let me step back then," she got up again, this time heading for the patio outside. I followed her laughing to myself, she does the damn most.

"So you and August? Cause I'm still not getting any information about y'all," I pointed out. We had our glasses of wine poured to the rim looking out at Ryan and Danielle, who were now in the pool.

"Oh yesss about big zaddy," she smiled widely crossing her legs. "He's actually flying me out to Atlanta with him like later on tonight."

"Wait tonight?"

"Yes ma'am you heard correctly. He's doing a show and he wants me there waiting for him."

"So it's like that huh? Remember when you swore he was just going to forget about you," I reminded her before focusing my attention on Ryan's little bad ass splashing water all over his sister. "Ryan if a drop of water touches Dani's head your ass is grass."

"She started it ma," he shouted back. Danielle frowned her face before denying his accusation.

"I don't care who started what. Y'all keep splashing all that water and the both of you will be getting out."

"Yes mama," they mumbled before creating a new game.

"Do you really think August would really fuck with me? I mean what makes me special," Naomi asked in all seriousness returning back to our conversation.  I stared at her in an "are you crazy" look.
