(Beyonce)
I looked down at my ringing phone and declined Ty's call for the fourth time today. I know he had Jay on three- way because he kept leaving me voice mails . I wanted to talk to him, but I couldn't bring myself to answer the phone. I cried like a baby the first time I listened to the first message he left, after that, I deleted them all without even hearing what he had to say. Even though I missed him like crazy, I needed to get Jay and this entire relationship out of my system. I was happy for the first time in a long while and I wanted to stay that way. I had so much to look forward to with only a little over a year left in school. If it wasn't for Jay getting locked up, I know we would probably still be together. He wasn't the type of man who took no for an answer. I felt bad for turning my back on him, but I had to do this for me. Everything I had at the condo was moved to my mama's house since I never planned on going back. I gave the gate access card and the door key to his brother because I knew Jay wouldn't have wanted me to give it to anybody else. I wasn't sure if he had money or something else of value in the house so Ty was the only person I trusted with it. For once, I had to live my life the way I wanted to live it with no interference. After driving with only my thoughts to keep me company, I pulled up to my destination and got out of the car. Before I had a chance to knock, the door was opened for me. Hey pretty girl, Arleen said, standing in the doorway. Hey Lady, I replied as I walked in. Since Micheal and I had made things official a few months ago, I spent a lot of time with his mom and sisters. My best friend Kelly, who was also Micheal's and the the almost twins' first cousin, would be with me most of the time. Lately she had been locked up in her apartment with her new boo so she didnt have time to hang with us as much as before. I guess Kelly dropped out on me, huh? Arleen asked, looking behind me. I dont know whats been up with her. I called to tell her that I was on my way, but she didnt answer, I said. Arleen and her husband were having some guests over so she asked me, Kelly, and the twins to help her set things up before they arrived. Just like every other time since she got with her mystery man, Kelly was a no show. I was kind of hurt by her actions. We were supposed to be best friends, but I had yet to meet the man in her life. Hell, I didnt even know his name. She always referred to him as her boo and left it at that. She got defensive whenever we asked about him so we stopped asking. Ive been meaning to tell you that I love that car honey, Arleen said snapping her fingers. I was happy to finally have a car. Micheal wanted to buy me one, but I refused to let him. Thanks to Jay, I had enough money saved up to do it on my own. After debating for about two weeks, we finally agreed to go half on it, but I made sure that everything was in my name. I had a white Nissan Maxima with black leather seats and sliver paneling inside. Depending on other people for a ride was a thing of the past for me and I didnt miss it at all. Thanks, I love it too! I replied, smiling. Hey girl, Adrian said coming down the steps with two duffel bags. Let me put our bags in your car so we dont forget them. The twins and I were spending the night at Micheal's house when we were done helping Arleen. He had been trying to get me to move in with him, but I wasnt ready. I felt in my heart that Micheal was the one, but I didnt want to ruin it by moving too fast. He was upset, but at the end of the day he had to respect my feelings. I still slept over there some nights just to shut him up. When I wasnt at his house, I stayed with my mama or Kelly. For the past few days, Ive been with my mama since Kelly always has company. My sister Jonaé had recently moved back home too, since she lost her job. My mama was ready for them to go, but I thought it was fun being around the kids all the time. My mom didn't think so. Not to mention, Jonaé isn't even her child, she's my dad's child from a fling he had. Jonaé had recently started doing janitorial work at night so one of us had to babysit most of the time. She worked all night and slept all day so we had her kids more than we wanted to. Alright, yall can come help me bring these decorations outside, Arleen said, snapping me back into the present. She was doing a Luau theme since they were entertaining outside by the pool. Mr. Mike, Micheal and the almost twins father, ordered the food and was waiting for it to be delivered. He dropped the cake off a few minutes ago and was now putting ice in the ice chest. So where you order the food from daddy? Ardeema asked. I ordered everything from Kaylas mama. She gave me a good price for it too. Somebody should be here to deliver everything a little later, he said. I noticed the look that was passed between Arleen and the twins. I didnt know what it was about, but Im sure I would find out soon enough. About an hour later, we were done decorating and were now sitting in the kitchen eating ice- cream straight from the bucket. I was just leaving Kelly another voice mail, when someone rang the doorbell. I got it! Ardeema said, getting up from the kitchen table. A few minutes later she walked back in carrying a covered pan, followed by another woman. They made two more trips outside before they were done bringing everything in. What the hell did Mr. Mike order? I asked. They had about eight covered dishes sitting on the kitchen counters as well as two long pans on the table. Girl, I dont know, but that shit smells good as hell! Ardeema replied. It is good, you know my mama can cook, the unknown woman said laughing, Hey Arleen, she said when Arleen walked into the kitchen. Hey Kayla, Arleen said dryly. So this was Kayla. I didnt know her, but I knew that her mama owned the restaurant and catering business that Mr. Mike ordered the food from. She was a pretty girl, but she wore too much make-up. Her cocoa colored skin was beautiful against her hazel colored eyes. She was kind of too skinny, but she had a nice figure to pull it off. I could also tell that the sew- in she wore had seen better days. It was tangled and completely dried out. Out of a possible ten, she was a five at best. I noticed that she kept looking at me like she wanted to say something, but she didnt until I ran my hand through my hair. What kind of hair is that? Kayla asked, looking at me. Huh? I asked, confused by her question. Girl she must think thats fake hair on your head,Ardeema laughed. No boo, thats my sissys real hair, Adrian said with her hand on her hip. Your sissy? Kayla asked Adrian while looking at me. Yes, my sissy, as in sister- in- law, Adrian replied. Oh Kayla, this is Beyonce, Micheal's girlfriend. Bey this is Mikayla, a family friend. Her mother and I went to school together, Arleen said, introducing us and putting too much emphasis on the word girlfriend. Oh, okay, I didnt know M had a girlfriend. He never told me that, Kayla said, like she talked to Micheal regularly. I was pissed to say the least. Micheal was talking to this heifer and I didnt know anything about it. Until today, I never even heard of her before and then the bitch was calling him, M, like they had some kind of connection or something. Yeah, we just made it official a few months ago, I said breaking my silence. Yeah, my big brother finally found the one, Adrian said slapping my arm. She knew I was mad just by looking at me. I smiled to let her know that I was cool, but this was far from over. I couldnt wait to see his ass and rip him a new one. As if on cue, Micheal came strolling through the front door like he didnt have a care in the world. He walked into the kitchen and came straight to me, kissing my lips. Whats up yall? He said as he pulled me out of my chair. He sat down and pulled on his lap. Hey M, Kayla said a little too sweet for my liking. Whats up? He said, still kissing all over my face and neck. I noticed the uncomfortable look on Kaylas face when he started kissing my neck and that really made me wonder about the extent of their relationship. Ugh, I hope you dont act like this when we get to your house. Let the damn girl breathe, Adrian said. Shut up! Micheal replied. Well, Im about to get going. Goodnight everybody, Kayla said. I could tell that she didnt like our display of affection, but oh well. Goodnight, let me walk you outside, Arleen said, walking behind her to the front door. As soon as the front door closed, I got up and went in on Micheal's ass. So were keeping our relationship a secret now? I asked him with fire in my eyes. Let me know so I can stop telling people that were together, I said. Well, thats our cue, lets go Adrian, Ardeema said, getting up from the table. No, yall dont have to go, Im leaving, I said, grabbing my car keys and purse. Man, you cant be serious. What the hell are you talking about? Micheal asked. I ignored him and continued to walk off. He stood up and pulled my arm, forcing me to come back. Lets go outside and talk, he said. No, Im going home. We dont have anything to talk about. I felt like crying, but I really didnt know why. I didnt have any proof that Micheal was talking to Kayla or anyone else, but my gut feeling told me that something was going on. Thats your problem. You always run away from your problems instead of talking about it. Stop being so damn childish! Micheal said pulling me into him. Whatever! Im about to go, I said, trying to pry his hands from around my waist. Whats wrong with yall? Arleen asked when she came back in the kitchen. Nothing. Micheal replied. He grabbed my car keys out of my hand and threw them to his sister Adrian. Yall can go ahead and drive her car to the house. Use the red key on the key ring to open the door. She gon ride back with me, he said. No this nigga didnt give somebody my car? Adrian drove my car before, but I was always in the passenger seat when she did. Micheal pulled me outside in the yard and walked me around back to the pool house. Once we were inside, he locked the door and turned to face me. Don't do that no more . I hate putting everybody in my business. If you want to talk to me about something, don't do it in front of everybody like that, he said in an angry tone. I didn't give a damn if he was mad, I was mad too. Whatever Micheal or should I say M? It looks like everybody already in your business from what I can see! I snapped. What the hell that's supposed to mean? He asked. Why have you not told ole girl you had a girlfriend? I sat on a bar stool waiting for him to answer. Who is ole girl? Kayla? He asked. Yeah, Kayla, I replied sarcastically. Man, I don't talk to or see Kayla so how can I tell her anything? I know that's not why you mad? He said, looking down at me. That's exactly why. She said you never told her you had a girlfriend, like y'all talk all the time or something. I already told you I'm not into playing games. I did enough of that when I was with Jay, I said. He looked at me like I was stupid and I almost felt like I was. I should have kept that last part to myself , but it was too late. From day one I've been honest with you about everything. I don't have shit to hide so stop comparing me with the next nigga . I'm not Jay and no other nigga that you use to deal with, I'm Micheal, take it or leave it. As far as Kayla goes, I fucked her a few times and that was that. We never had a relationship or nothing else. Don't come at me sideways about nothing, all you have to do is ask, Micheal said, telling me off. I cant say that I was shocked because Micheal was very outspoken. He didnt handle me with kid gloves like Jay did. He treated like the grown ass woman that I was or claimed to be. He was right about everything he said so I didnt have a comeback. I sat there like a spoiled brat with my arms folded across my chest. I really had to get myself together. Every man was not like Jay and I had to get that through my head. Micheal had never given me any reason to doubt him, but my insecurities were driving me crazy. I loved the fact that he had it altogether. He had his degree and he and his father had a booming real estate business that had him financially set for life. They both had huge houses and more than enough rental property to spare. I was scared of being hurt, but I didnt want to push him away with my accusations. Stop acting like a lil ass girl, Micheal said, sitting next to me. He pulled me on his lap and kissed me softly on my lips. I love you baby, Micheal said melting my heart. That was all I needed to hear to set things off. I responded by giving him a deep, passionate kiss. I moved my tongue in and out of his mouth while sucking on his bottom lip in between kisses. I moved my hands down and started unbuckling his belt. Micheal saw that I was having trouble, so he moved my hands and did it himself. He lifted his lower body up, allowing me to pull his pants and underwear down slightly. I reached my hand down into his boxers and pulled out his 10 inch monster. Micheal and I had sex many times, but my eyes still widened in surprise at how big he was. My hands were tiny so I used both of them to massage up and down his shaft as we continued to tongue wrestle. I felt Micheal reach under my dress and tug at the lace on my thong. I was about to help him, but he got impatient and ripped them off with one hard pull. I laughed because I knew how impatient he was when it came to sex, he hated to wait for it. Micheal and I could be anywhere, but when he wanted sex, he made a way to get it. Just like right now, we were in his parents pool house and their company was due to arrive at any minute. Panic set in just that fast with me realizing what we were about to do. Micheal wait. Your mama is about to have company, we need to finish this at your house, I said out of breath. What! You must be crazy. Look at this? He said, pointing to his third leg, Im not going anywhere until you make it go down, He laughed. Baby, Im serious. I dont want people looking at me walking out there with my hair all over my head and no drawers on, I complained. Its gone be quick, I promise. Well be finished before anybody shows up, if you come on, Micheal said. He stood up with me still in his arms. He let me down and I stood to my feet. He laid down on the sofa and motioned for me to come to him. When I got close, he grabbed me and lowered me down over his face so I could be in position. I already knew what he wanted. Micheal loved the sixty-nine position. He was the first person I ever gave oral sex to, so I only knew what he taught me, and he only taught me to do what he liked. I immediately took him into my mouth and started sucking like my life depended on it. I wasnt a pro so I only took in as much as I could stand. I had to be doing something right because Micheal was moaning like crazy in between the head that he was giving me. I moved my hips in a circular motion over his face, enjoying the sensation of his warm tongue. When he inserted his finger in me, I thought I was going to go crazy and when he started sucking on my clit, I couldnt take it anymore and tried to get up. Stop trying to run from me, Micheal said as he pulled me back down and continued to suck. Ah! I screamed as my body started bucking wildly. Mike still didnt let up as I shook and trembled from the orgasm he had just delivered. Before I had a chance to catch my breath, he pulled me down and slammed me onto his rock hard dick. Oh shit! Mike moaned as I bounced up and down on him in the reverse cowgirl position. This was his favorite position and I knew just what he liked. He gripped my hips firmly and slapped my ass cheeks as I bounced to my own rhythm. After a few minutes, I spun around to face him so that I could see the look on his face. He had his eyes closed, but the look on his face was that of pure pleasure. You ready to cum baby? I asked him when he opened his eyes. We had been in here long enough and I was ready to end it before any of Arleen's guests arrived. Yeah! He responded, breathing hard and labored. I tightened my muscles and held on to his neck as I slid up and down as fast as I could. Damn Bey! Mike shouted as his eyes rolled back in his head. He started to get loud so I covered his mouth with mine to shut him up, just in case anybody was close by. He pulled my hair and bit hard into my neck as the sensation got to be too much for him. Fuck! Mike shouted as he shot, what felt like a bucket load of cum inside of me. I was happy that I was on birth control because that was damn sure a baby that he just unloaded. Girl you bout to make a nigga propose to your ass! Mike said in between deep breaths. Boy shut up, I said, laughing, We need to hurry up and get out of here before all these people come, I said lifting myself off of him. I grabbed my purse to get my feminine wipes when I heard somebody fumbling with keys at the pool house door. Tyree jumped up and started fixing his clothes. I told you somebody was gon come in here, I whispered to him while trying to fix my hair and clothes. Stop being so damn scary, were grown, it aint nothing they never saw before, Mike said. Arleen opened the door and laughed when she saw us standing there looking guilty, I dont even want to know what yall were doing in here so Im not going to ask. I just came to get some extra chairs, she said smiling. Yeah, we came in here to talk, Mike said smiling at me. I flipped my middle finger at him and continued fixing my hair. Yeah, your daddy and I come in here to talk sometimes too, Arleen said laughing. Man dont nobody want to hear that. Lets go baby, he said, reaching his hand out for me. Nigga how you think you got here? She yelled back, And yall forgot something while yall was in here talking, she said holding up my torn underwear. My eyes bucked when I saw what was in her hand. I was too embarrassed for words. Mike grabbed them out of her hand and stuffed them in his front pocket. Thank you and good night, he said, pulling me along after him. Dont be embarrassed girl, yall still young, so enjoy it while you can, Arleen said to my departing back. That was too embarrassing, I said to Mike once we were in the car. My mama knows whats up. You my girl, its not like you some random chick I fucked in her pool house, Mike said driving away from the house. How many random chicks have you fucked in her pool house? I asked, looking over at him. Please dont start with that foolishness. I never had sex with nobody else in my mama house or in her pool house, not even when I lived there. I promise, you are the first and only one that ever had it like that, he said kissing my hand. I leaned over to the drivers side of the car and kissed him on the lips. Thats all you had to say then. I laughed, he shook his head and laughed too as we made our way to his house, where I knew we would be doing any and everything, but sleeping tonight.
