I look around like it’s anyone else in the room before I rub my neck.
“Biiiiitch.”
She screams.
I hop up and scream.
We meet in the middle as I twerk and she hypes me up.
“Macy! In the parking lot, bro?!”
I pop my imaginary collar and smirk. “Chiiiiiiiiile.”
We sit on my bed and she pulls her legs beneath her. “Okayyyyy I need details neow! Was it good? Ohmigod you haven’t hunched since you got pregnant huh?!”
“Dal, he fucked the shit out of me. Literally. I’m not gone be able to shit for at least a week.” I lay back and sigh, my clit thumping as flashbacks of last night start playing in my mind.
“Okay, so what now?”
I sit up on my elbows. “Whatchu mean?”
“Y’all fucked. It obviously was good. Are you gonna take the plunge?”
The excitement forming in her eyes is alarming to say the least. “Why are you for this? You were just telling me to leave him alone.”
She tucks her lips in and grins and I know she’s finna tell me some bullshit.
“I mean… we always do the opposite of what we tell each other… it’s kind of our thing. I honestly think Shaddy would be good for you, and I know you’d be good for him.”
“Yeah? And why is that, Dal?”
She moves her legs so that she’s hugging them and rests her chin on her knees. “You’re the only person who doesn’t baby him. I don’t know how, because he just evokes that out of people, but you don’t. And he doesn’t bend to your will either.”
I throw her a wry grin. “That sounds like two very stubborn people.”
“Makes for great sex, you know that… no, itsoundslike two people who give each other the space to be themselves, something I know you value more than you let on.”
“Dal, he hurts every nigga who looks my way. How is that me being free?”
She waves me off, grabbing her phone out of her pocket. “I’m sure he’d be more amenable when y’all become official.”
I rise up into a right angle so fucking fast and cock my head at my best friend. “Have you actually met Rahshad Kaleel Washington? He doesn't even know the word amenable… besides, this ain’t that. I’m single.”
“Yeah, aight. You used a condom?”
Condom?!
“Yeah,” she cackles, getting off the bed. “You put that thang on him raw doggy? Yeah, Pat was right; a month tops before you’re either pregnant or engaged.”
“Jokes on you; I can’t get pregnant!”
She just laughs louder before telling me Book Club got moved to today.
In the shower, it hits me like a ton of bricks.
I said the same thing when I found out I was pregnant with Sadé.
Stop blowing up my phone about my story. I told you, youre not my man, and you definitely cant be my man acting like this.
