“I didn’t invite her out. She just popped up. But back to you and her. I don’t want her to get caught up in no shit. I need to use her. She’s clean.”
“Man it’s too late now. All that shit we been moving is because of her.”
“Shit man. Get another bitch. She ain’t the only hoe working up in this piece.”
“Man c’mon.”
“Naw, you c’mon. I told you I was already fuckin’ her. Now cut that shit off. Plus, I ain’t giving her nothing else.”
“Brig, you out there in the free world. There’s a whole sea of clean bitches out there that you can get to run one of your businesses.”
“I want to use her.” Briggen got up, ready to go. He said what he had to say. “Why the fuck is she so pressed?”
“Her brother Peanut. She’s tryna bail him out.”
Briggen gave Forever a look that said I don’t believe this shit. “Man you too reckless, you know that right? Don’t get her caught up man. Clean that shit up.”
“I got this bruh.” Forever got up and gave his brother another hug.

rianna turned towards the clock and it was almost eleven. She hesitated before dialing Shadee’s cell phone. She needed some money.
“Hello,” Janay answered. “Hello.”
“I need to speak to Shadee.” Brianna finally said.
“Who is this?”
“Is he there? This is Brianna.”
Click.
Janay hung up on her.
“Bitch!” Brianna spat as she redialed. After five rings his voice mail kicked in. “Shadee this is an emergency. Call me.” She clicked off and dialed his house phone.
“What’s up?” He finally answered.
“Hey. It’s me. You got company?”
After he woke up a little he asked, “B, what’s good?”
“I need a favor. Can you come over now?”
“I’m still in the bed, B. What’s up?”
“I need some money and it is an emergency. If it wasn’t, you know I wouldn’t be asking.”
Shadee laughed. “Girl, you a trip. Why you ain’t got no money?”
“I got money but not the amount that I need. Can’t you come over? I can’t talk over the phone.”
“You can come over here.”
“You got company don’t you?”
“Naw girl. I told you I’m asleep. Well, I was until you called.”
“I just called your cell phone and that bitch hung up on me.”
Shadee looked on his nightstand, then picked up his jeans from off the floor. “Damn,” he mumbled when he realized he didn’t have it. “You can come over.”
“Okay I’ll be there.”
Shadee dialed Janay on his cell phone. When the voice mail kicked in, he yelled, “Fuck!” He then dialed her house phone.
“What?” she spat.
“Why you answering the phone like that? What’s the matter with you?”
“Shadee, don’t start with me.”
“I’m not startin’ shit. You need to chill the fuck out! I need you to drop off my cell phone.” Then he warned, “And stop answerin’ it!”
“Nigga please. I haven’t touched your phone.”
“Stop lying girl. Brianna told me she just called and you hung up on her.”
“You know I never liked that gold diggin’ hoe. All she do is use you. She don’t got no love for you.”
Shadee laughed. “Baby, payback is a mutha. Just as good as bustin’ a nut.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing. I was just thinking out loud.”
Janay was quiet as she thought about what he just said. Then when it dawned on her she yelled, “Shadee, I know you ain’t gonna do that girl like that!” She was pacing back and forth. “Sha! Answer me! You ain’t gonna do that girl like that, are you?”
“Bring my phone over. I’ll see you later.”
Click.
On Brianna’s way out the door Skye was coming up the stairs. “I almost missed you huh?” He was flashing that million dollar sexy smile.
“I’m on my way out.” She shut the door behind her. “What’s up?”
“Open the door. I need to holla at you.”
Brianna rolled her eyes but did as she was told. As soon as the door closed he pulled her close and began kissing her neck.
“I’m running late Skye.” She tried to squirm away.
“Who else you got for me?”
She sucked her teeth. “Can we discuss this another time?”
“No, we can’t. Who else you got? What up with that nigga Shadee?”
She snapped her neck back. “Ain’t nothing happenin’ with him!”
Skye smiled. “You said that a little too damn quick with too much emotion. How you know ain’t nothin’ happenin’?”
“Because I know.”
“Let me find out you done caught feelings for this nigga.”
This nigga must be smokin’ something.
She said to herself. “Let me see what else I come up with.”
“Naw baby. I want the man himself. Shadee. Where does he live?”
“I don’t know that. He always comes over here. Just like you do.”
“You been fuckin’ this nigga for how long? And you don’t know where he lives? Bullshit!”
“I don’t know where you live. Do I?”
Skye sighed in exasperation. “A’ight look. This is how we gonna do this. I. Want. Shadee.”
“I’m not gonna. Give. You. Shadee.”
As soon as those words left her mouth she felt Skye’s hands around her neck.
“Like I said, this is what you’re gonna do. You get me his address and I need to know when and where is his next move.” He let her neck go. “Are we clear?”
“You can’t make me set him up Skye.”
“Oh, you’re gonna bring him to me,” he threatened.
“And if I don’t?”
“Ask your mom and sister what time it is.”
“What?” Brianna’s heart fell to her feet. She pushed him with all of her strength, causing him to fall back onto the couch. “Nigga, what did you say?”
Skye just sat there smiling at her. Finally he said, “Come here and suck my dick before you go.”
“You better leave my family outta this!” She was so pissed that she started crying.
“Oh, so you do have a heart?” He got up, grabbed her, giving her a bear hug. “Girl stop crying. Just help me out and everything will be a’ight.”
“Get off me nigga! You ain’t right. You know you ain’t right.” She pushed him away before wiping her face and grabbing her bag. “You already got me in enough trouble. I’m late.”
“Hold up! Hold up! You can’t break me off a quickie?” She ignored him and opened the door. He was thinking about making her suck his dick but changed his mind. “So it’s like that?” He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. “A’ight. So I guess that means we got an understanding. Cool. I’m out!”
She watched him go back down the stairs. She was devastated and felt as if her world was coming down all around her. First Peanut and Shan, now her mother and sister. She could handle herself but getting her family involved was a whole ’nother ball game. She still did not want any harm to come to them. The last time she spoke to her sister was a few months before she went to prison. Her sister found out that Brianna had fucked her husband. It had been even longer since she had spoken to her mother. She was mad at her because she felt that her own daughter was the one responsible for her boyfriend, Alston, doing twelve years for sexual assault. Even though she was not on speaking terms with either one of them, she still did not want any harm to come to them.
After she got herself together she jumped into her Lexus and headed for Shadee’s, not knowing what to do. She got with Skye thinking that he was a lick and she ended up being the lick. She didn’t even see it or him coming.
When she pulled up in Shadee’s driveway, she sat a few minutes, still trying to get herself together. She decided against telling him what Skye wanted her to do, at least for now.
She rang the doorbell for what seemed like an eternity. When Shadee finally opened the door she was like, “fuck it!” and was just about to leave and was all the way down the stairs.
Sha was wet, with a towel wrapped around his waist. “I know you wasn’t tryna leave, after you done got me outta my deep sleep.”
She came back up the stairs. “You knew I was on my way over, why you gonna jump in the shower?” She placed her hand on his flat abs and gently pushed him aside. She was trying her best to act like everything was just fine.
“I wanted to be fresh and clean for when you got here.” He looked at her ass filling up her hip huggers. “What nigga done pissed you off?”
“Why does it have to be a nigga? Why can’t it be a hoe?”
“Well I know something got you tensed up. Come here.” He grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.
He pulled the towel from around his waist and popped her on the behind.
“Stop playing, that shit hurts!”
“Well come dry me off then.”
She sucked her teeth but came over and snatched the towel from him. He reached over and grabbed two handfuls of that ass, squeezing it before getting him some tongue. She then ran the towel over his arms, chest, and abs.
“You already dried off on my damn clothes!”
Shadee stood there looking Brianna up and down. Finally he told her, “You’re so fine.” Then asked, “You think that’s one of my weaknesses? Why I’m so weak for you? Why I let you get away with so much shit? And over and over I let you fuck me over. What do you think B?” He walked away and headed
to the bathroom. She followed behind him in silence. “Of course I’m not gonna get an answer to that. So, go ahead and tell Daddy what you done got yourself into this time.” He grabbed his electric razor and began fumbling with it.
“I need some money,” she ashamedly answered.
“I know you need money, but why the urgency?” He was taking the electric shaver apart and purposely cut himself. “Fuck!” he yelled, watching the blood drip down his index finger.
She went over to the sink where he stood. “Listen to you. Daddy got a baby cut on his finger and now he’s crying,” she teased.
He put his finger to her mouth. “Here, make it better.” He laced her bottom lip with blood before forcing his finger inside her mouth. She dutifully and seductively sucked the death warrant off of his fingers while he watched. When he was satisfied he pulled her close and began undressing her. “Damn, baby. What you do, paint these on?” He struggled with her hip huggers. “Damn!” He laughed as he finally got them down.
“I thought you said you liked me in this outfit,” she purred as she dropped to her knees and immediately put him in her mouth. He grabbed her head with both hands and moaned as she worked her magic. She didn’t let up until the veins on his dick looked like they were gonna explode and he was harder than Chinese arithmetic. She then leaned back and smiled at her handiwork.
He glanced down at her. “Oh, so you think you did something?”
“Nigga, you know I did. Listen at you. You can hardly talk. Plus, look how thick and hard you are.” She had stood up and was seductively rolling down
her thong. As soon as she pulled them off he grabbed her by her hair.
“Finish me off.” And gently pushed her down to her knees again.
She licked, sucked and teased the head until she thought it was gonna puke. Then went to licking and sucking on his balls. When she eased a finger up inside his ass he said, “B! Hold up! Hold up!”
She smiled up at him. “Aw, nigga, you know you ’bout it, ’bout it!” she said, but was only joking.
He grabbed her this time with force by her hair and pulled her up.
“Oowww, Sha! I was only playin’.”
He pushed her over to the sink. “Wash your hands.” And he stormed outta the bathroom.
When she came into the bedroom he was pacing back and forth. She laid down on the bed, spread her legs and started playing with her pussy.
“Sha, come here Daddy. I’m sorry. I was only tryna finish you off like you said. I was gonna make you come reeeaal hard and looong. Make you remember why you can’t leave me alone.” She put one hand on her breast and was grinding on her fingers. “Now come here and remind me why I just can’t stop fucking with
you
. Come here Daddy. You know you like the smell and the taste of this pussy. I know you ain’t gonna make me cum by myself,” she moaned.
That got his attention. He came over to the bed and crawled between her legs. She placed her hand on top of his head and motioned for him to go downtown. He ignored her, removing her hand and plunged deep inside her.
“Sha you don’t have on a condom!” He was already grindin’. “Baby!” she called out. He threw one of her legs over his shoulder and started fuckin’
the pussy like he was mad at it. “Sha, slow down,” she pleaded. When he felt like finally slowing down he did. “Thank you.” She moaned as she matched her rhythm with his. “What’s. The matter. With. You?” Their rhythm flowed like the motion in the ocean. “Oh, right. There, that’s. My. Spot. Sha, I’m cumming!” She screamed as her body shook, quivered, then fell limp. He pulled out and flipped her over onto her stomach, slowly kissing her from her neck, traveling down to her spine. He spread her ass cheeks and started licking her crack. “Ooh faster, Sha. Faster.” He moaned and licked then fucked her in the ass until he was ready to turn her over and eat her pussy. She came instantly. He lay sprawled out on his back, looking at his dick standing straight up and slowly swaying side to side.
He grabbed her by her hair and pulled her downward. He didn’t have to tell her what time it was. She automatically took him into her mouth deep throating his dick until he was hollering like a bitch.
“Briannaaaaa.” Was his last word before he came and released in her mouth, what felt like buckets of cum. Then he went limp. They lay there, each lost in their own train of thought, undisturbed and perfectly still until the doorbell rang.
“Who are you expecting?” Brianna rolled over.
“No one that I know of.” Shadee got up and went to the door, yelling “Who is it?” Forgetting that he had told Janay to drop off his cell phone.
“It’s me. Who was you expectin’?” She had just pulled out her key, not wanting to walk in on him and get another shocker.
He unlocked the door and let her in. “What brings you over this way?”
She looked at his naked body up and down,
thinking to herself he don’t even look like he has the virus. “I’m scared to ask who you got up in here.”
“What’s up Janay?” Sha asked her.
“They found Biz’s body.” She whispered. “I thought everything would be taken care of.”
“Did anyone come and question you?”
“No.”
“Well then. Don’t even worry about it. I already told you, you straight Janay. Now anything else?”
“Oh, now my man is putting me out?” She threw his cell phone at him, just missing his head.
“Your man?” Brianna walked up and put her arm around his waist.
Janay started laughing. Even though Sha could see that she was hurt. “Keeping your enemies close aren’t we?” She smirked at Brianna.
“What’s that ’sposed to mean? Sha what’s with this hood rat ass bitch?”
“Bitch I don’t have to spell it out.”
“Hoe, I’m not talking to you.” Brianna flipped her the bird.
“Sha, put this bitch ass hoe in check before I do.”
“B, let me holla at Janay.”
Brianna sucked her teeth and rolled her eyes at Janay before giving Shadee some tongue.
“Bitch, please. You know what?” Janay placed both of her hands around her own neck and began making choking noises, wheezing and making her eyes bulge.
