A Bittersweet Hood Dilemma: A Naptown Love Story Page 5


  “You like running the fucking credit cards up don’t you? It’s all good because when you find a job you are paying for all of this shit,” he said, and then opened up the fridge.

  “Look, Tassana, we have no food in the house. I give you money to handle shit like that and what do you do? Go fucking shopping and go out partying, spending my damn money. I’m not a fucking dope boy. I don’t have a safe stacked up with thousands of fucking dollars,” he said to me. He may not have a safe, but he had a savings account. The deposit slip fell out of his pants pocket the other day. He made a ten-thousand-dollar deposit. Kauzie was not broke.

  “Why is there a hickey on your neck? Are you cheating on me?” I screamed charging towards him. He mushed me into the wall.

  “Don’t put your fucking hands on me. Don’t fucking touch me. Don’t even speak to me. You don’t like my rules then get the fuck up out of my house,” he said to me.

  “You son of a bitch!” I screamed.

  “Disrespect my mother again. I will slap the hell out of you,” he said walking upstairs to our bedroom. I followed behind him.

  “Did you eat her pussy?” I asked him. He ignored me as he took of his clothes. It was his day off and he usually stayed in the house on his off days. He got into bed as I slid under the covers with him. I laid my head on his chest and surprisingly he let me.

  “When are you going to stop seeing Mya?” I asked him.

  “I’m not fucking with her like that,” he said flicking through the channels.

  “Who were you with? Why didn’t you come home last night?” I asked him. All of a sudden, I was on the floor. This short-tempered asshole just pushed me out of the bed.

  “Oh my bad, I thought I saw a bitch that gave a fuck about me,” he said to me.

  “AQEL!” I said calling him by his first name.

  “What? How the fuck are you going to lay up under me and question me about a woman? How are you going to ask me why I didn’t come home like you’ve been here waiting on me? You probably strolled in four in the morning like you usually do. Don’t fuck with me on my day off,” he said to me.

  “What nigga are you fucking with?” Kauzie asked me. I smirked because he still cared enough to ask.

  “Nobody, I just be hanging out with Kai,” I lied. I climbed on top of him then massaged his scalp. He closed his eyes then bit his lip. He used to get hard when I did this, but now he was as soft as a baby ass. I licked my lips as I thought about Kauzie’s thick and long dick. His dick was too big, but over the years, I’ve gotten used to it.

  “What are you thinking about?” I asked him.

  “Nothing,” he said. His phone rang then he pushed me off him. He grabbed his phone then walked into the bathroom. He ran the water and turned on the fan. He didn’t want me to hear his conversation. Who the hell was calling him at eight in the morning? I wondered.

  I grabbed my phone to call my sister. She answered the phone with an attitude.

  “What, Tassana?” she asked popping her gum in my ear.

  “Where did Kauzie stay at last night?” I asked her.

  “That’s the only time you call me. How about good morning, Tokyo, how are you?” she snapped. I looked at the phone to make sure it was the right bitch I called.

  “Calm down, I’m sorry. What’s going on with you?” I asked her. She started telling me how she lost her job yesterday and all of this other shit I couldn’t care less about.

  “It’s Burger King, you should be lucky they fired you. Get unemployment,” I said, checking my nails to see if I needed a fill-in. I should’ve asked Tudos for some money.

  “OOHHHHH, I knew it was something I had to tell you. Kai’s brother, Geechie been asking for you. Girrrllllllll, that nigga is paid you hear me,” I said. Geechie was not that attractive to me, but he was generous when it came to giving out his money.

  “Girl, you are crazy,” she giggled.

  “You need to start dating, Tokyo. It’s time to get out here and meet some new people,” I said. Kauzie came out the bathroom snatching the phone out of my hand.

  “So, you had me on hold to talk about another nigga?” Kauzie asked Tokyo. Their friendship irked me. Always have and always will. But, what could I say? I had to deal with it in order to make Kauzie happy. I needed to get on his good side.

  “Yes, Geechie wants to take her out,” I said smirking.

  “Geechie must want to get knocked the hell out. Oh, you laughing, Tokyo? That shit ain’t funny. Keep listening to your airhead ass sister,” Kauzie fussed. Tokyo must have said something funny because he started smiling. This bitch knew him in ways I didn’t.

  “Okay, I will holla at you,” Kauzie said hanging up my phone.

  “Since when do you hide your conversations with my sister from me?” I asked him.

  “Since you started eavesdropping on our conversations. You know what’s fucked up? You tell Kai all of Tokyo’s business knowing that Kai is cool with Darrion’s baby mama. That shit is foul. You can’t even be loyal to your sister, so you know what that means? You can’t be loyal to nobody, including a nigga who has been with you since fourteen years old,” he spat.

  “I didn’t tell Kai shit,” I lied.

  “You did. I know you did. Tokyo lost her job behind that shit. I hope she comes up on all of y’all bitches. I hope she gets a nigga that make all your dumbasses sick. Now, that would be some shit to gossip about. Ratchet ass Tokyo with a nigga that all the shorties around here want,” he said smirking.

  “What are you trying to tell me?” I asked him.

  “Stop trying to hook her with these lame ass niggas. I know a nigga who is about to wife her real heavy,” Kauzie said.

  “Who the hell wants Tokyo? She dropped out of school. She wears her hair in all of these colors. Her nails are so long she can barely wipe her ass. She drinks Lime-a-Rita’s like it’s Kool-Aid. She lives in the hood and drives that beat up ass Honda. The list goes on. Oh, and let’s not forget her ratchet ass mouth,” I said giggling. It would be a cold day in hell before Tokyo snatches a man that everybody wants.

  “Shorty, don’t laugh. In due time, you are going to be in the same situation,” he said getting dressed. I ignored him.

  “Where are you going?” I asked him.

  “Holla at No Hands,” he said.

  “Let’s take a shower together,” I said fixing up the bed.

  “I took one this morning,” he said.

  “Where at?” I asked him.

  “My parents’ crib,” he said. I knew he was lying. He stayed with a woman and the hickey on his neck proved it. He put on his platinum and gold diamond dog tag necklace. His wife beater hugged his sculpted chest and torso, where you could see the ripples through his shirt. His jean shorts slightly sagged and he wore a fresh pair of Air Max’s. His dreads hung down his shoulder.

  “I want to go,” I said.

  “Go where?” he asked with his eyebrow raised.

  “With you. I would like to spend time with you,” I said sucking up to him.

  “Go ahead and get dressed then. You take more than twenty minutes, I’m gone,” he said walking out of the room. I took a fast shower then got dressed. I unwrapped my thirty-inch weave, letting it hang straight down. I wore some cut-up jeans with a white tank top. I wore my blue Gucci belt with the matching sandals, and applied nude lipstick on my lips. I was stepping in the hood today. These hood rats were going to know that Kauzie was off fucking limits. I know he probably screwed a few girls in No Hands’ neighborhood, but I was hurting some feelings today.

  We stopped then grabbed some breakfast from IHOP. By the time we were headed to see No Hands, it was going on noon. When we pulled up, No Hands was sitting on the steps with Tokyo. No Hands was very attractive despite his condition. He reminded me of ASAP Rocky minus the braids. Tokyo’s red braids were braided into two cornrows that hung down by her ass. She was wearing black leggings, a thin plaid short-sleeve shirt with red sandals. Her lipstick was blue and her nails had so much
shit on them it was ridiculous. Her big hoop earrings were the size of Kauzie’s tires on his truck. Her eyelashes blocked the sun out of my face.

  “Heeeyyyyy twin,” I said to Tokyo.

  “What are you doing over here on this side of town?” Tokyo asked me.

  “Spending the day with my fine ass man,” I said brushing my ass against Kauzie’s pelvis area.

  “Awww that’s cute. Back to the old days,” Tokyo said as she skillfully broke up her weed, lining it up inside of cigar wrapper. I was disgusted. This bitch was out in the opening, rolling up a damn blunt.

  “Don’t you want to do that in the house?” I asked her.

  “No. No Hands doesn’t want the smell in his crib,” she said. After she rolled it up, she lit it then stuck the blunt in No Hands mouth.

  “Well, you can’t speak Pernell?” I asked No Hands.

  “What’s up, Tassana?” he asked dryly.

  “So, this is what you do all day? Kick back and sit on the steps smoking weed?” I asked Kauzie.

  “Why the fuck does it matter? At least the nigga work. All you do is sit home and do nothing. You might as well sit in the hood all day,” No Hands said to me.

  “What’s up, Tokyo?” a nigga called out.

  “Is that my nigga Gash? Get your ass over here boy and show me some love,” Tokyo said standing up. She walked down the steps then bumped Kauzie in the process.

  “Damn girl, you still fine as ever,” the nigga said to her.

  “Who the fuck is that?” Kauzie asked No Hands.

  “That’s the nigga Gash. He used to roll with Darrion back in the day. He just came home from doing five years. He a cool nigga though,” No Hands said. Kauzie grilled Gash like he did something to him.

  “Y’all this is my homeboy Gash,” Tokyo smiled introducing him to us. I waved and No Hands gave him the head nod. Kauzie’s light brown eyes burned a hole into Gash’s head.

  “Speak, Kauzie,” I said smirking.

  “Fuck no. I don’t know that nigga,” Kauzie spat rudely.

  Tokyo cleared her throat. “Don’t mind him, Gash. He has that big-brother thing going on. He doesn’t want a nigga coming anywhere near me,” Tokyo laughed.

  “Shiidddddd, I can dig it. But I’m having a coming home party tonight. Slide through. I’ll get up with you later. It was nice seeing your sexy ass too,” Gash said. He gave us a nod then walked off.

  “What the fuck you cheesing all up in that nigga’s face for? Wipe that smirk off of your face,” Kauzie said. Tokyo waved him off.

  “Does he act like this over you?” she asked me. Was this bitch trying to throw shade? I wondered.

  “No, he knows I’m not a whore,” I said. No Hands coughed. “Hot Tamales,” he said.

  “Hot Tamales?” I asked him.

  “Yeah, this one girl sucked my dick with them in her mouth. Almost BURNED my dick off,” he said. Kauzie grilled him. Tokyo was texting away on her phone.

  “You got something to drink in the fridge? It’s hot out here,” I said.

  “What you burning? I mean are you thirsty?” No Hands asked me laughing.

  “Yes, I am. I will help myself,” I said walking into the house. I went into his fridge and grabbed a bottle of wine and the bottle of Cîroc. I need a drink to get me through the day with these idiots.

  After a few drinks, I felt better. I was loosening up. I even laughed as Tokyo played around with them talking shit. She was almost like a nigga.

  Tokyo let out a burp. “Damn bitch, between you batting those long ass eyelashes and burping, you are about to blow me the fuck away,” I said to her.

  “Shut the fuck up. These niggas know me. Who do I need to impress?” she asked me.

  “That comes from fucking with Darrion’s no class having behind,” I said.

  “Well Darrion’s no class having ass was eating my pussy and my ass. So, the nigga didn’t have table manners. Maybe you should tell your nigga to be rude at the table and start eating with his mouth open,” she said to me. That slick mouth bitch.

  “Fuck you, shorty,” Kauzie said pissed off.

  “UMPH,” Tokyo said then waved him off.

  “I’m ready to go. I had enough of this broad for the day. That’s exactly why she hasn’t seen her parents in years. She knows they don’t tolerate that ghetto ass shit. Bitch always popping slick and probably can’t spell half of the shit that comes out of her mouth,” I said.

  “I can’t spell? But you was reading my diary? You read those words verryyyyyyy clear, didn’t you bitch? Don’t think I didn’t know about you. I been peeped game, but it’s all good. I still love you,” Tokyo said unfazed.

  “Take the truck and go home. I’ll be there,” Kauzie said handing me his keys. I snatched them away from him, got into his truck then slammed the door. Once I pulled off, I called Tudos.

  “What’s good shorty?” he asked me.

  “Where are you at?” I asked him.

  “Leaving the barbershop, why, what’s up?” he replied.

  “I need you inside of me,” I said licking my lips. My pussy throbbed because I knew Tudos was going to fuck me into a coma and lick me dry.

  “Use your key. I might be a while,” he said hanging up.

  Tokyo

  “You foul for saying that shit,” Kauzie said pissed.

  “Fuck you,” I said throwing my beer on him. He grabbed me by the back of my neck pushing me into the house. No Hands was too high to even figure out what was going on.

  “Fuck me, huh?” Kauzie asked pushing me into the wall. I pushed him back.

  “I wished I had never fucked you. It was the worst mistake of my life. You get mad at me for looking at other niggas but you have the nerve to show up with my sister. She was even dressed like you. You told me yesterday that you were single. You lying bitch,” I hit him with my purse. He snatched my purse and the contents fell out. When his eyes landed on my condoms spread out on the floor, his eyes turned red.

  I was almost out of the door, but he dragged me into the bathroom. He locked the door then unbuckled his pants.

  “What in the hell are you doing?” I asked him. He gripped my hair then bit my ear. “Don’t make me mad, Tokyo,” he gritted. He pulled my leggings down then ripped my panties off.

  “We can’t do this,” I said. He bit my cheek then pinched my nipples. I was surprisingly turned on by his roughness.

  He forced my legs open, as I sat on the sink. He bit my neck then licked my lips. My heart raced and I was now impatient. When was he going to enter me? I wondered to myself.

  He gripped my neck, slightly choking me as he passionately kissed me.

  “OOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW,” I screamed as his dick split me open. He bit my lip then pulled my shirt over my head. My bra came undone. Kauzie attacked my nipples as he thrust in and out of me. He pulled my hair as he licked my ear.

  “This what you wanted?” he asked me as he went deeper. My wetness echoed throughout the small bathroom. I tried to push him away, but that made him pin my legs up.

  “OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,” I screamed as he slammed into me. My body shook and jerked like I had been electrocuted. My stomach cramped up from his dick hitting nerves it wasn’t supposed to.

  “ARRGGHHHHHHHH,” Kauzie moaned then sucked my nipple. I pulled his hair like he did mine.

  “SHIITTTTTTT, TOKYOOOOOO,” he said biting his lip.

  I spread my legs open wider for him. “That’s it gyal. Spread that open for me,” he said thrusting deeper. It felt like my stomach was being pushed up into my throat.

  “KAUUZZIIIEEEEEEEEEE. I’m CUMMIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGG. I HATE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!” I said.

  He slammed into me harder and faster, as my pussy sounded like someone was scrambling raw eggs in a bowl. He trembled then fell into me kissing me.

  “BOOM!” We went tumbling down onto the floor as water squirted out.

  “Oh, shit. We broke No Hands sink,” I said embarrassed. Kauzie laughed until he turned red.

  “What
the fuck are y’all doing in my bathroom? Get the fuck out. A nigga can’t even get high in peace,” he said kicking the door.

  Moments later, we were sitting on the couch with wet clothes. Kauzie chuckled, as No Hands paced back and forth cursing us out.

  “So, I have to go all the way up the stairs to wash my hands?” No Hands asked.

  “Nigga, you ain’t got no hands,” Kauzie said.

  “I got nubs motherfucker. That’s beside the point. So, y’all fucking now?” No Hands asked us.

  “NO!” I said.

  “Stop lying, Tokyo. I was up in it last night and just a few minutes ago,” Kauzie said.

  “Just tell our damn business, but it’s all good. I’m not fucking you anymore,” I said.

  “You said that last night,” Kauzie said laughing.
