like a Trojan factory.”
    â€œTrojan condoms. They have their own unique smell. At least they do to me.”
    â€œShe should’ve used Durex. Those smell better than Trojan. Trojan makes it smell like you had sex with the Michelin Man. Durex smell like Hubba Bubba bubble gum and don’t taste so bad.”
    â€œYeah, she smelled like a used tire factory.”
    â€œTrojan is definitely a no-blow-job condom. The flavor is horrible. Someone should come up with a barbecue-flavored condom for the hood. But greedy bitches would probably start chewing dicks.”
    â€œThat’s gross.”
    â€œAnyway. The Colorado girl—tell me, how did that go down?”
    â€œI got off work early; I used to deliver pizzas, and it was a slow night, so they sent me home. I stopped by her house, was on her porch waiting for her when this guy dropped her off about midnight. I knew who he was. White guy named Jerald. Jerk looked like Eminem, with ginger hair in braids.”
    â€œShe was . . . is . . . was a black girl? Well, Colorado’s version of a black girl.”
    â€œLooked like a more elegant, more sophisticated version of Gabrielle Union.”
    â€œGabby again. You’re the second person to mention her name tonight. Gabby, Gabby, Gabby.”
    â€œWill never forget that smell. She stank. Like weed, cigarettes, white-man come, cheap liquor, and Cool Water cologne. I smelled her and I knew she had been with him. Knew it before she said.”
    â€œOkay. But how could she smell like come if she used a condom?”
    â€œHe didn’t put it on at first. She made him put it on after.”
    â€œShe told you?”
    â€œThat was the way we did it. She refused to start with a condom, but wanted me to stop and have it on when I was ready to come. She did the same with him. I know she did. I knew her.”
    â€œSpeechless on that one. Guess her pamphlet on safe sex had a few pages missing. Sounds like she was the type to put her seat belt on after an accident. Sponsored by Unplanned Parenthood.”
    â€œWe had planned to go to the same college, Princeton, declare the same major, graduate together, backpack together for a year, then marry, work for three to five years, then have a lot of babies.”
    â€œI know you did something to make yourself feel better, or make her feel worse.”
    He grumbled, “The first heartbreak is the one we never forget.”
    â€œSo what did you do with that anger? What did you go home smelling like?”
    â€œI went home smelling like a sweeter pussy than she had.”
    â€œDamn. That was raw. I thought you were going to say you kicked the dude’s ass.”
    â€œThat, too. But I had popped two of her girlfriends by the end of the next week.”
    â€œLook at you. Kicking ass and getting laid. So motivated. You were on a mission.”
    â€œWould’ve been three, but her sister was on the rag, so she just gave me a blow job.”
    â€œIt traumatized you. Mentioning that now, looks like it reignited an old fire.”
    â€œStill reading my body language?”
    â€œLike an eBook.”
    He said, “So, those are my details. Not proud to have been a fool, but it happened.”
    â€œHappened to me, too. I got played big-time.”
    â€œGuess it happens to us all once or twice.”
    â€œGuy I was crazy about slept with a couple of my girls, and a couple of their girls.”
    â€œWhat did you learn?”
    â€œThat men are men. To not trust bitches. To not broadcast your business. If you have some good wood, they want it. My friends smiled in my face and had my man behind my back. Tricked me.”
    â€œA con woman tricked by deception experts, or was a deception expert conned by two women?”
    â€œAnyway.”
    â€œI understand how to run a business, but never have really understood a woman.”
    â€œYou don’t understand women? As dapper and well put together as you
