I made sure my middle finger gave a clear view of “fuck you”. Lex got what she wanted though, so I was gon’ cook her lil’ meal. However, she was gon’ give me some pussy in return. My sex drive went up a notch since I came back.
On the way home, I stopped by Ties & Tips. I wanted to see how far the twins were into the project. Lately, they’d been all gas no brakes. They kept me updated and on my toes with the business.
My estimate was nowhere near the budget Alexis gave me. I actually pocketed a lil’ change. My rainy-day funds were two hundred fifty thousand dollars richer.
I walked in and saw how well everything was comin’ along. What I envisioned was starting to become a reality. The hookah section was complete. I loved how mellow it felt. Emilia had that part of the lounge looking good.
Whoever she had paint the walls did one helluva job. I said make it seem like they were sittin’ in the clouds, and damn it, I felt like I was in the muthafuckin’ clouds. I could imagine gettin’ right off clouds while surrounded by clouds. Man, the effects of that shit were gon’ be dope.
Goin’ to the bar area, I saw it was fully stocked and ready to go. I checked the storage room before heading to the front. We had so many hookahs back there I lowkey felt like I bought too many. I planned on selling hookahs and the accessories that went with them. I had a variety in sizes, colors, and designs. If patrons bought one there, their first round of shots was on me.
“How you like it?” Nina asked once I got to the front.
“C’mon now. You know I love it. This lounge about to shake a few Barnes & Nobles’ tables,” I said, laughing.
“Oh, they about to be upset. The promotion we been doing already got people wanting to RSVP to the grand opening.”
“Aaaayyyyyeeee. That’s what I like. Shoot me a call after you leave. I’m goin’ home to take a nap. Thank you, pudd.”
I gave Nina a hug and left. I was dog tired and didn’t really do anything but go feed my wife and stop by the lounge. I had no reason to be drained the way I was.
I made it to the house and didn’t bother goin’ upstairs to my bed. The couch was just as soft, so I lay down right there. Alexis would be home in a few hours, so I had time to rest before catering to her wants.

Hunz stared at me as I stared at him. We were in his doorway, not sayin’ a word to each other. I wasn’t sorry about cuttin’ him off one bit. His suggestion caused me further heartache. If he would’ve just let me have my time, I wouldn’t have seen a bitch at my fuckin’ house gettin’ dinner served by my wife.
“Move, Hunz. I don’t have time for this shit with you.”
“Ain’t no way you think you ’bout to step in my shit and we not converse. This shit ends right now. So wassup?” He crossed his arms and stood firm.
“What you want me to say, Hunz? You said go talk to my wife, and I did. I also found her cookin’ for her ex in my house. Ain’t got shit to say to you, bruh.”
No doubt about it, I missed my best friend. We haven’t spoken since I left his house that night. I wasn’t even mad at himto be honest. What happened, happened. It wasn’t his fault my wife cheated but I blamed him in a sense.
“I wanted you to work it out with your wife. She fucked up, but who doesn’t? Ain’t you back with her? Okay then. The fuck you takin’ it out on me for?”
“Boy, if you don’t go to hell. I’m not takin’ anything out on you. I just don’t have conversation for you. You think I’m mad when I’m not. The situation is over with.”
“If you ain’t mad, then do our normal routine.” His arms were still folded while he smirked, knowin’ that would get me to smile.
My eyes saw everything inside that big ass head of mine from rolling them so hard. I took a few steps back and set my purse down. He really did get on my nerves sometimes. I ran and jumped into his arms, screamin’, “Bestie!”
Hunz was crackin’ the fuck up. He placed me back to my feet and moved to the side so I could enter. After picking my purse up, I did so. I went over there to get some attention from him and his wife.
My wife was out the country on business, and loneliness was setting in. I knew Belle Air would cook and Hunz would cuddle with me.
I went straight to their theater room that held the smart bed. They were fancy with they lil’ house. Hunz came from money, and so did Belle Air. When they combined accounts, they gave me and my wife a lil’ challenge.
Kicking off my shoes, I got in the bed and immediately wanted to sleep. Hunz came in with a blunt and a tray full of snacks. He knew what was comin’ after we poisoned our lungs.
“Belle Air not here, but she on the way home. We gotta fuck up some snacks until she feed us.”
I nodded and waited for him to get comfy so I could. All our college and adult lives, people would spread rumors about meand Hunz. I was called all types of bitches and hoes from how we treated each other. Hell, Belle was on the same wave until she found out how much I loved pussy.
We went through that blunt with the quickness. I didn’t get to put a chip to my lips before I was dozing off. Staying up for more than a few hours was exhausting to me. If I could carry a portable bed, I would.
“Nah, just in here chillin’ with number two. What you on, nigga?”
