left. He got some bad news today. Somebody name Manny got busted.”
“Manny is our connect. Well, Tommy is the only one he deals with.”
“I don’t know where he went, but I’m glad, though. Now me and you can get away.”
“You are a scandalous bitch.”
“You like it, though.”
JoJo was silent. He thought about what that would mean for him. The connect was in custody, and he didn’t have any other way of making money. He didn’t have the stash of money that Tommy had. He needed to talk to Tommy to find out the details.
“So, nigga, you going to fuck me or what?”
“I can meet you in a couple of hours. I need to talk to Tommy to find out what the hell is going on.”
“Okay, I’m going to wear those lace panties that you like. You know, the ones that make my ass look extra fat.”
“Hell yeah,” JoJo said, though the only ass he was concerned with at that point was his own. He knew that if Manny started ratting, everybody would go to jail. Although Tommy was his childhood buddy, he didn’t know how that shit would play out if Manny started a drug conspiracy. He hung up the phone and called Tommy, who answered the phone right away.
“Hey, I was just about to call you.”
“Why? What’s going on?” JoJo tried to act surprised. He couldn’t let him know that he’d spoken to Nia.
“Bad news. Manny is in custody in Miami. His brother, Hector, called.”
“Damn. So what does this mean? Are we finished or do we need to pack up our shit and get out of town or what?”
“No. Don’t worry about that. Manny only knows me. He met Twin once, but I don’t think nobody has anything to worry about. Manny ain’t that type of guy.”
“Tommy, you know what? Real estate don’t sound like a bad idea after all.”
“Now you see what I mean, huh?”
“I do.”
“JoJo, rest assured, if Manny were to implicate me in anything, I would never do anything to hurt you. I love you like a brother.”
JoJo was speechless. He hadn’t expected Tommy to say that. Suddenly, he felt bad about sleeping with Nia. His friend was a good guy overall, and he was loyal, which was a rare trait nowadays. “Tommy, I love you, too.”
*****
Nia stood in front of the bed, her hands down flat on the mattress. JoJo grabbed her small waist then pushed himself inside of her as deep as he could go.
“Damn, Daddy, not so rough!” she screamed.
“You said you wanted it, now shut up and take this dick.” “I like when you talk rough to me.”
JoJo slapped her ass hard and pulled her hair.
“Pull my hair harder.”
JoJo thought about Fatboy, and then he looked down at Nia the
slut. The site of this good-for-nothing woman made him harder. He pulled her hair as hard as he could without yanking it out, and the slut was enjoying every minute of it.
They changed positions. She looked down at him, pressing his chest with her hands. The juices from her vagina drenched the condom, and the smell of sex lingered in the air. He still couldn’t help but think about Tommy and how he’d said he loved him earlier. Still he was doing some foul shit.
Nia finally stopped moving. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong. I am just tired, that’s all.” He slid from underneath her.
“You’re not into it.”
JoJo got up and walked into the bathroom. He turned the water on, grabbed a towel, and began to wash his face.
Nia had followed him. “JoJo, what is going on with you, man?”
He turned and faced her. “I don’t feel right fuckin you behind Tommy’s back.”
“Oh my God, this nigga gets a conscience now.”
JoJo narrowed his eyes. “You know what Tommy told me today?”
“No, and I really don’t care right now.” She grabbed JoJo’s arm and tried to pull him back to the bed, but he wouldn’t move.
JoJo yanked his arm back. “I’m going to tell you anyway.”
She stood silently.
“Tommy said he loved me like a brother. I believe that shit, too, man. Your man has a good heart, and this is the fuckin thanks he gets, a slut like
