“Oh. Umm, it’s a pool party bash. A bunch of artists are scheduled to perform and everything. She’s been talking about it for weeks. I’m surprised she never said anything to you about it.”
I tried to hide the irritation on my face because I didn’t like people in my business. Internally, I wanted to wring Lyric’s neck for keeping me out of the loop. I wasn’t sure what was going on with her, but the shit was getting old.
“She probably did tell me. It must have slipped my mind. Anyway, she ain’t here, so I would assume she’s at the event already.” I got ready to close the door, but Valor placed her foot in the doorway. I wanted to cuss her ass out, but instead, I glared at her.
“Do you mind if I come in and get a bathing suit? I don’t have time to go to the store and grab one, and she showed me a picture of the ones she had laid out in the spare room.” She held up her phone and showed me a picture Lyric must have sent them in the group chat. I recognized the sheets in the guest room. She used the space to store all of her clothes and make content in.
I wanted to say no, but I reluctantly allowed her in. “Make it quick.”
“Okay, I might need to try them on because I’m a little thicker than Lyric, but I promise I’ll be out of your hair in fifteen minutes. Twenty max,” she promised.
I stepped back and allowed her to walk inside. When I sat on the couch, I started to feel sleepy as fuck. I had been averaging three to four hours of sleep for the last few weeks, and the shit was catching up to me. I polished off the rest of my rice and thenlit my blunt. I usually smoked before I ate, but I was too hungry to wait.
Valor took about twenty-five minutes to get what she needed. I felt myself dozing off, but I couldn’t fully fall asleep knowing someone was in my house. Once I heard the front door shut, I took my ass to bed. Normally, I would lock the door, but I didn’t feel like walking over there. We lived in a decent neighborhood. Plus, I knew Lyric’s sneaky ass would be tiptoeing her ass back in the house tonight. I called my baby girl on FaceTime and talked to her for a little while. Symphonee was trying her best to split her attention between her movie and me, and apparently, it was more interesting than me. We said our nightly prayers before I took off my shirt, plugged my phone up, and went to bed.
I always slept on my back, and Lyric’s ass stayed making fun of me because she said I looked like a corpse because my arms would be at my side. It was the way I always slept, and my granny teased me about the same thing.
My girl could talk all of the shit she wanted, but it never stopped her from climbing on top when she wanted to fuck in the middle of the night. In fact, she loved the easy access. I wasn’t sure how long I had been asleep, but I wasn’t surprised when Lyric’s sneaky ass came into the room, climbed into bed, and removed my shorts. She wasn’t slick, but she knew exactly how to distract me from getting in her ass.
“Shit.” I hissed when I felt her warm mouth wrapped around me. She must have known I was pissed off because she made that shit extra sloppy. I was half asleep, so I kept my eyes closed so I could enjoy the moment. The only things that could be heard were the sounds of her gagging and slobbering on my shit. Her skills weren’t as good as they normally were, but I wasn’t about to stop her. Even if the head was off, I knew for sure the pussy was gonna be top tier every time.
When she straddled my waist, I anticipated her tight, gushy walls pulling me in, so I was caught off guard when she slid down on me, and it felt like my dick was inside of a loose toilet paper roll. She bounced on my dick wildly, but I didn’t feel anything besides disappointment and a dehydrated coochie. I shoved her off me a little rougher than I intended, but something was off. I prayed to God Lyric hadn’t been dumb enough to fuck another nigga, because if she did, it was gonna be her last night on Earth.
“What the fuck is going on?” I heard Lyric yell as the lights came on. My eyes instantly widened in shock when I saw her standing in the doorway, fully clothed. It took my brain a second to put all of the pieces together, and when I saw her hoe-ass friend sitting on the edge of the bed with a smirk on her face, I knew it was about to be some bullshit.
Lyric dropped all of her things and leaped on top of Valor. I was still processing everything as I jumped up and slid my boxers back up. The thought of Valor putting that Brillo pad pussy on me enraged me, but I had bigger fish to fry. I pulled Lyric off of her friend, but the two of them were still fighting. Lyric refused to let go of ol’ girl’s hair, no matter how hard I tried to separate them.
“You nasty bitch! After everything I’ve done for you, this is how you repay me!” Lyric punched Valor in her head over and over again as Valor tried to pull away. Lyric had a death grip on her hair, making it difficult to separate them. When I finally got her to let go, she turned around and popped me in the mouth.
Her fists came at me like lightning, and I could barely keep up. It pissed me off because she was taking her anger out on the wrong person.
“Aye, you better chill out before you hurt my baby. Calm your ass down,” I warned.
“Fuck you and this baby. I can’t believe you would stoop so fucking low. My friend, Essex? Of all the bitches you could havefucked, you mess with someone I considered a sister? And you, bitch! I ignored everybody when they called you a hoe around campus. I’ve spent years defending you when you were out there fucking everybody’s nigga because I loved your funky-pussy ass. And you wonder why none of the niggas you lay down with want to take your ass seriously. They know your worthless ass can’t be trusted, and they can’t post you without the whole city saying they had a piece.”
Valor had blood leaking from her nose and mouth as she pulled her dress over her head. I gripped Lyric’s arm to stop her from attacking the girl again.
“Now you know how it feels when someone you care about doesn’t take your feelings into consideration. You know how I felt about Logic, but you downplayed my feelings as if I was some kind of jumpoff. Then there’s Mendeecees. You’ve known for years that I wanted him, but you invite us to hang out with him, only for you to be in his face.
“He couldn’t stop talking about the blue-eyed baddie, which was crazy to me when you have a nigga you claim to love so much. Since you wanted to hate on me because of niggas I wanted, I decided to test out the dick you’re so crazy over. You don’t deserve a man like him, and now that I know what that dick feels like, I hope he finally leaves you for a bitch who will appreciate him,” Valor spat with venom laced in her tone.
“Bitch!” Lyric lunged toward Valor, but I wrapped her in a bear hug to stop her.
“Aye, bitch. You gotta get the fuck out of my house. I don’t know what the fuck the two of you have going on, but you need to raise the fuck out of here before shit gets ugly. I don’t put my hands on women, but I will shoot a bitch for playing with me.”
“Call me when you’re ready for another round. I could tell by how fast you got hard that she isn’t taking care of that dick the way she should. You need a real bitch on your arm.” Valorwinked, then turned and ran out of the room when Lyric tried to jerk out of my hold.
Once I heard the front door slam, I let her go. I got ready to say something but was stunned by Lyric’s fist punching me in the eye. It burned so badly, my eye started to water, and it pissed me off. While I stood there hunched over, her ass hopped on my back and began to punch me wherever her hits landed.
My vision was fucked up in my left eye, so I was at a disadvantage. Eventually, I was able to pull her off me, but it didn’t go the way I thought it would.
“You need to leave,” Lyric murmured as she stood there with a despondent expression on her face.
“What the fuck do you mean? I ain’t do shit!”
“Are you kidding me right now? I walked in on you fucking one of my best friends, Essex! I’m not one of those dumb-ass bitches you can run game on. She was dead ass wrong, but you’re supposed to be my man. How could you do something so fucked up?” Lyric’s voice cracked, and it finally hit me that this was much worse than I thought.
“Oh, come on. I’ve never even given that bitch a second glance in all the years she’s been your friend. Why would I purposely fuck somebody close to you when there are plenty of bitches I could fuck who would gladly keep a secret?”
