Prima Donna (21 page)

“
Don't look at me,” said Derrick. “She's the one who kissed you, not me. What you say to a kiss like that?”

Mike-Mike shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don't know.”

“
You say, can I please get another one?”

Mike-Mike looked at Veronda with a smile. “Can I please get another one?”

Veronda poked her lips out for him to kiss her.

“
Mmmmm-mah,” she uttered, as their lips touched again.

“
Now c'mon let's go inside,” said Derrick. The three of them headed inside. Once inside, Veronda told Mike-Mike to have a seat. Mike-Mike took a seat on the sofa. As he did so, he witnessed Derrick whispering something in Veronda's ear. He didn't know what Derrick was saying to her. But Mike-Mike noticed she was smiling at him the whole time Derrick was whispering in her ear.

“
Have you ever had sex, Mike-Mike?” Veronda asked, as she came and sat next to him on the sofa.

Mike-Mike shook his head. “Nope, I've never had sex. My mother told me that I should wait until I get married.”

Veronda looked back at Derrick.

“
That's only if it's not your birthday. Besides, Momma ain’t here,” said Derrick, rolling up a blunt. “Now take your pants down, Veronda has a surprise for you.”

Mike-Mike did as his brother said. He pulled both his pants and underwear down and sat back down on the sofa.

“
Relax, okay Mike-Mike?” assured Veronda.

Mike-Mike laid back on the couch. Veronda bent over with one knee on the couch, massaged his dick ’til it was solid hard, then placed her mouth over it and licked around the head of it like it was her favorite-flavored lollipop. Mike-Mike closed his eyes and inhaled air through his teeth. Derrick puffed on his blunt and watched the birthday boy enjoy himself. “How does it feel, lil bruh? Do you like it?” he asked, releasing weed smoke from his lung.

“
It feels goooood. Ooooo…”

Veronda stopped only to stop herself from laughing hard. She then said, “Hush, Derrick and let little brother allow me to light the fire on his candle.”

“
You got that, boo-boo.” Veronda again placed her whole mouth on and over Mike-Mike's hard dick. She tightened her jaws and started moving her tongue around and around on his dick.

“
Der-rick, B-b-bruh, this isss a-a-ama-zing.”

Derrick took a hard drag from his blunt, then put it in an ash-tray. “I know it feels amazing; I'm really getting jealous,” he said as he eased up behind Veronda. He placed his hand underneath her skirt, slid her panties to the side and started rubbing up, down and around her clit and fingering her spot. Derrick's could tell by the way Veronda was moaning as his finger moved inside her tight wet hole. She seemed to have a difficult time giving Mike-Mike head. “Stay focused, baby. Stay focused,” Derrick commanded. Mike-Mike had a confused look on his face like he didn't know whether to pay attention to what his brother was doing behind Veronda, or pay attention to Veronda's mouth moving up and down on his dick, making him feel good. So he made up his mind and did neither.

Instead, he laid his head back, closed his eyes and enjoyed the ride. Veronda looked up at Mike-Mike as she pulled her skirt up to her back. Derrick knew emphatically that this was an indication for him to slide every bit of his eight-and-a-half-inch, thick, hard dick inside her. He did so without delay, holding her panties to the side in the process. He started deep dickin' her slowly.

“
Mmmmm,” she moaned.
Derrick stroked her pussy so good she nearly bit down on Mike-Mike's.

How in the hell could Fat Jerome have wanted to fuck my bitch up her asshole when her pussy hole is so muthafuckin on fire? This bitch of mines got the best snapper in Charlotte.

“
Der-rrrrick, bruh, what is this I'm feeeeeling? It tickles.”

“
You're feeling what I'm feeling, lil bruh. It's called ‘nuttin.’ It's one of the greatest feelings you'll ever feel in your life. Enjoy it; it'll only last a few seconds.”

“
Derrick, you crazy, boy.” Veronda laughed. “Now I gotta take another bath.”

“
Clean my little brother up, too, boo-boo.”

“
I got him,” she replied, “Hold on. Stay there a minute, Mike-Mike, I'll be right back.” Veronda returned with some baby wipes. She cleaned Mike-Mike up, kissed him on the cheek and said, “Once again, Happy Birthday!”

Mike-Mike just stood there. He was dazed from the head she had just given him. Never had he experienced an orgasm. Veronda had delivered him his first.

“
What you say to that, Mike-Mike?” asked Derrick.

“
I-I-I don't know.”

“
You say, Miss Veronda, that felt good. Can you do it to me again before I leave to go home?”

“
Miss Veronda, that felt good. Can you—?”

Veronda cut him off with a laugh and said, “Maybe next year on your birthday.”

“
Tell her thank you, anyway,” said Derrick.

“
Thank you, Ver-Ve-ronda.”

Veronda blew
him a kiss. “You're welcome, handsome.”

Derrick then looked at Mike-Mike and said, “Wait on me in the car. I’ll be there in a second.”

Mike-Mike exited. When he did, Derrick told Veronda to get his coke out the stash. As she followed up on his request, he went into the bathroom to wash his dick.

There was no way he was gonna be mobilizing around in the Queen City, smelling like pussy.

He walked into Veronda’s bedroom. “Here you go,” stated Veronda, handing him his bag full of coke.

As she stood before him, he cupped her ass cheek, kissed her on her top lip then her bottom and said, “Thank you for fuckin’ rockin’ my lil brother's world. Shit, I know he'll never forget you or that good-ass head you delivered.”

Veronda smiled shyly, “You crazy, Derrick boy, I'm serious. You cra-zy.”

“
Here, take this and go to the mall,” he said, pulling a wad of cash from one of his front pockets. He peeled off twelve hundred dollars.

“
Thank you, boo-boo. Now, when am I gonna see you again?” Veronda asked.

“
Later.”

“
What's later, Derrick?”

“
I can't give you a definite, baby. I'll just pop up when I pop up.”

“
Why can't you just give me a definite? You always say that shit.”

“’
Cause the streets don't allow you to give definites. I'm caught up in this world of sin, motivated by dividends. Anything could fuckin’ happen and you know that. But if in the process of me doing wrong out here in these streets, I happen to make it another minute, hour or day, I count it a blessing from the Big Man upstairs.
You do know He looks out for thugs, too, right?”

“
Derrick, God looks out for us all. For how long is the question.”

“
Well, hopefully, forever. Now, I’ll be back later, baby. Don’t worry,” Derrick said between kisses and squeezing her booty. Veronda’s booty felt like cotton in his hands, it was so soft. Had it not been for him having to get Mike-Mike back home, and him needing to get rid of the coke, he would have put that dick back up in her again. Instead, he tucked his bag of coke in his pants, checked for his gun at his waist, and bounced.

DON'T TELL MOMMA

“
Derrick, bruh, this has been the best birthday of my life. Man, I'm for real,” exclaimed Mike-Mike. He was so excited about getting his dick sucked.

Derrick smiled. “You really enjoyed yourself, huh?”

“
Did I? Man, bruh, your girlfriend is amazing. I see why you in love with her.”

“
Well, I'm glad you're happy about that. It makes me feel good when I see you happy. When I was your age, very few things made me happy. But I didn't go around trippin' and whatnot about it. I did what Momma wanted me to do, which was concentrate hard on my school work. I'm out of school now. I walked across that stage with honor. Seeing the smile on Momma's face when I did so, was more fulfilling to me than actually receiving my diploma. She always stayed on me about finishing school, like I stay on you, Mike-Mike. She wanted me to do other things like join the military, but sometimes things don't always go as we want them to. You feel me, Mike-Mike?”

“
I think so.”

“
But you…you gotta finish school. A young black man ain’t got no place in this society without a good education. Even if you've got a good education, the cards are still somewhat stacked against you because of your skin color.”

“
My skin color? What you mean by that, bruh?”

“
What I mean is, there are some people who think they are better than you because they’re white. See Mike-Mike, many years ago, our forefathers were kidnapped, by white thugs, and brought over here to America from our homeland, Africa. Our forefathers were brought here to be made slaves. Under the white thug slave owners’ system, our forefathers were stripped of a lot of things.”

“
Stripped of a lot of things like what, bruh?”

“
They were stripped of things like the knowledge of God, their identity, their culture and just their basic way of life.”

“
Why would a people do this to another people? Isn't such treatment of human beings considered a crime?”

“
That type of treatment of people today is a crime, because slavery has been abolished. You do know who abolished slavery, don't you?”

“
Of course. Abraham Lincoln, in what, eighteen-sixty-three, with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation?”

“
Right. But the slaves weren't set free until eighteen-sixty-five. To answer your question as to ‘why would a people do this to another people?’ Well, lil bruh, I don't have all the answers, but I can say this, some people are just straight-up evil. They judge you by the color of your skin, rather than judge you by the content of your character. This is why you, a young black man, gotta work extra hard in the area of getting your education. Not just that, but those manners that Momma be teaching you to use, well, those manners are what's gonna really open up doors for you. Momma taught me when I was your age to respect others and be courteous and all that. But being out here hustling in the streets, one learns to only respect those who have earned it. You, however, don't belong in the streets and as long as I'm alive you're not gonna end up in the streets.”

Derrick pulled up to their apartment. “Now promise me one thing, Mike-Mike.”

“
What's that, bruh?”

“
Promise me that you'll never tell Momma what Veronda did to you. You know she'll kill me if she found out I let you get your little wee-wee wet.”

“
I promise, bruh, I won't ever say anything about what happened today.”

“
If you do, I'm not ever gonna do anything special for you again, and I'm serious, Mike.”

“
Bruh, trust me on this one, I'll never go running my mouth. You can bank on that.”

“
A’ight, good. I'll see you later when I come back home.” Derrick dropped Mike-Mike off and went to make some coke sales.

To be Cond’t.
