that.â
âOh, you know it ainât no sweat off of me. I told you Iâma hold you down. Iâm just tryna figure out how to do this.â She pauses, pullinâ in her bottom lip, then pulls her cell outta her bag. âI tell you what. Iâma call the airline, and book your flight. Is tomorrow too soon?â
I think for a moment. âNah, tomorrowâs good.â She calls the airline, and makes a reservation witâ Continental. She writes down all the information, then hangs up.
âItâs settled. Youâre leaving on flight eighty-five, at one thirty-five. Itâs an open ticket so you can come back anytime.â As sheâs lookinâ in her wallet, I peep her pullinâ out bills. My dick starts to brick up. âI can give you five hundred; is that cool?â
Well, damn. Maybe next time Iâll hit her up for a few gees. I get up and walk toward her, then pull her into me and give her another tongue-probinâ kiss. âGood lookinâ out, baby. Iâma definitely get it back to you.â
She presses her body up against mine, strokes my Johnson. âTake your time, baby. Iâm not going anywhere.â
Of course you not,
I think, grabbinâ her ass.
You wanna keep gettinâ this black dick
. âWell, as long as you keep wettinâ up this dickââ
and lininâ my pockets
ââI might keep ya fine ass âround for a while.â
She punches me in the chest playfully, suckinâ her teeth. âYeah, whatever, nigga.â
I grab a pair of navy blue gym shorts from outta my dresser drawer, then slip âem on. I open the bedroom door. âCâmon, baby. Let me walk you out.â When we get downstairs, I lean in and give her another tongue dance, then open the front door. âDonât be suckinâ no other niggaâs dick while Iâm gone, either.â
She smirks. âYouâre not my man, remember?â
âYeah, aiight. You just make sure
you
remember that.â
She flips me the finger as she walks out, switchinâ her juicy ass. âWhatever!â I watch her get into her whip and back outta the driveway before closinâ the door.

âOkay, so which one outta your harem is she?â the deep voice in back of me asks, spookinâ the fuck outta me. It almost makes a nigga jump outta his skin.
âOh, shit,â I say, quickly turninâ âround to face my pops, an older version of meâtall, bow-legged, worked-out, and dark chocolate. No, homoâ¦but the niggaâs got real flava. And at fifty-two, Pops looks like heâs still in his early forties, hands down. A nigga canât front. Iâm glad he gave up all that drinkinâ and feelinâ sorry for his ass. It was startinâ to make him look real weak ân shit. And it got way outta hand when he started wakinâ up and hittinâ the bottle first thing in the muthafuckinâ morninâ. Man, listen. All he did was drink, curse, complain and keep an army of bitches runninâ in and outta here when he wasnât passed the fuck out. Itâs surprisinâ he held down a job witâ all that drinknâ ân shit. But he got his ass up and went to work eâery damn day, hung over or not. And get this. He worked as a plant foreman for the Budweiser distillery in Newark. Ainât that some shit? A muthafuckinâ alcoholic workinâ at a damn beer company! And his ass didnât even drink the shit.
I guess livinâ in a house witâ a drunk wasnât all bad, though. For one, Pops didnât stress me âbout no bullshit-ass rules like my moms did. As long as I followed my curfew and took my ass to school, it was all gravy. I could bring chicks to the house and crack this nut up in âem anytime I wanted. I played varsity ball inhigh schoolâall four years, which kept the bitches on my dick. And I even got offered
