“Shut the fuck up! Damn! You’re like a nagging wife complaining.” Backing up against the wall because I’m scared as hell now, I used my two fingers and gestured as if I was zipping my lips closed.
“That shit annoying as fuck.” All I did was nod to agree. As he stepped inside the apartment, he stopped and turned both ways.
“This place small as hell. How does one even walk around in here? I’m not even gonna discuss how fucked up that color paint is on the walls and why don’t you have curtains on your windows. It’s bright as hell in here. What? You tryna use the sun for heat or something?” My mother said living rooms and kitchens didn’t need curtains, as long as they had blinds.
“Ha, ha. That’s funny.” It really wasn’t but who the hell was he insulting our apartment.
“Didn’t I tell you not to open those non sucking dick lips?” I damn near died when he said that. What would make him think I couldn’t perform oral sex well and why was he bringing that up?
“Teeth so got damn big you probably put cuts in a man’s dick every time.” I covered my mouth quick.
My mother told me a few years ago to get braces due to my teeth being a little buck but I didn’t listen. Now this ignorant man was standing in my living room basically telling me to get it done. Well that’s how I took it anyway.
“And why aren’t your feet and nails done? Your hair look a’ight and you a little thick but the rest of you tore up.” Insult after insult, I wanted to cry yet held the tears in.
“If you even think about crying because your feelings hurt, I’ma smack the shit outta you.” I didn’t know what to say or do at this point and was happy that Sariah finally came out the room.
“Cairo, I know damn well you’re not disrespecting my friend.” She gave him a hug while the guy who kicked the door down followed with an attitude.
Cairo? That was a nice name but he rude as hell. Any fantasy I thought about having went right out the window due to how ignorant he was.
“She disrespecting herself looking like that and tryna fuck.” I was flabbergasted by how blunt he was. Who said anything about having sex? Was he saying I looked desperate?
“She’s home and comfortable in her space. Don’t do her like that.” Sariah backed away from their embrace and made her way to me.
“All the women I know still take pride in their looks whether their home or not. Legs ashy as hell, feet got crust on the heels, the polish damn near gone on her toes and fingernails. And Bugs Bunny would be ashamed she not repping buck teeth well.” The other guy was bent over laughing until Sariah cut her eyes at him.
I was so mad because I literally bit my nails off two days ago to let them breathe. I wanted a new set but decided to give it some time first. The crust on my heels were my fault because I didn’t have any more foot lotion and the polish was falling off. I planned on getting them done at the same time I redid my nails.
My legs were ashy because I’m in my house and didn’t feel like putting lotion on. He didn’t know that and I wasn’t telling him shit either. Now my teeth would eventually be a work in progress. However, I’ve never had anyone play in my face the way he did.
“Listen here, Cairo or whatever your name is.” I finally found the courage to respond.
“I may not be one of those fake women you’re used to but I’m 100% real. I don’t need your approval or anyone else’s and trust me, you’re not the first or the last to throw out insults. I’m used to it so keep them coming and watch them bounce off like the rest of the bullshit you said already.” Sariah and her friend looked at me, then Cairo, and back at me.
“And another thing, I know your mother taught you better than to walk in someone’s house unannounced. Barging up in here like you don’t have no home training.” Cairo didn’t say a word. I was very careful with my words in order not to offend him. Not that I should care but he scared me from the moment he walked in.
“I can see you have some money just by the way you pulled up here and those expensive clothes and sneakers.” I’m not sure if his entire apparel was expensive but the Tom Ford glasses and Balmain outfit said he had some sort of wealth.
“You need to take some etiquette classes on how to speak to women. Again, I know your mother taught you, that if you don’t have nothing nice to say then don’t say nothing at all.” Folding my arms across my chest as if I did something, my heart began to race again and my stomach was turning as he got in my face.
“I respect the fact you spoke up but don’t get it twisted. You still need a full body makeover, my mother taught me very well and I know how to speak to a woman when she’s in my presence. Since I only see a complainer who didn’t take pride in her appearance or apartment, there was no need to be nice.”
“Cairo, I know you didn’t come for me.” I wanted to smack Sariah for thinking he was calling her a complainer when she knew it was me he was taking about. Why didn’t she say come for us? And he wasn’t even talking to her.
“You good Sariah because one thing my family won’t do is fuck with a busted bitch.” His eyes were once again burning a hole in me.
“Get your life together, clean yourself up and I may take you over to the corner store to grab some chips and candy since wearing Hello Kitty pajamas and eating is what you do all day.” He pointed to the mess I had on the coffee table. Sariah and I were having fun pigging out and here he was making it a bad thing.
“Move.” He mushed me on the forehead on the way out my apartment. I fell back hitting the metal piece on the doorframe.
“I’ll see you in a few.” Raul yanked Sariah’s hair back and stuck his tongue in her mouth. This bitch had the nerve to moan.Sucking my teeth, I moved out the way and rolled my eyes. I couldn’t even slam the door since he kicked it off. Storming in my room, I stopped short seeing the covers on my bed messed up.
“I know damn well you didn’t fuck him in here.” Sariah started laughing as I removed the cover. They weren’t in here long but people did have quickies.
“I would never do that but he did give me head.” I turned to look at her.
“What? I grabbed one of the towels first and put it on the bed.” As mad as I wanted to be, I couldn’t. Last year me and myman at the time were at her house chilling and had sex on her bed.
