“Oh, cool. We can do that right here in the living room. Is that cool?” Jessop asked.
I let him know that it was cool. As I went through the process of examining Frack, I talked it through with him the entire way. I also talked to Frack to make sure he was comfortable. “When you walk him, do you do it on the concrete or the grass?”
Jessop thought about it for a second. “On the sidewalk mostly. He uses the bathroom in the grass, but we’re on the sidewalk mostly.”
I nodded. “That makes sense.” I lifted his paws so that Jessop could see the bottom of them. “Do you see the bottom of them, how they are cracked? That comes from walking on the concrete. It can be painful for the babies. I suggest walking him on the grass or getting him some booties.
“Also, today I’m going to take care of them. I use shea butter to treat them after I make sure that they are cleaned properly. I will leave some with you. You’re going to need to apply it at least twice a day, especially before bed. Will you be able to do that?” I asked.
Jessop nodded. “Yeah, I think I can do that. Damn, my dude needs booties and shit. I hope you got some boy booties.”
I chuckled. “Yes, I have some booties that are just for my boy babies. Now, I’m also going to give you a cone. When you put it on his feet, either keep him occupied for ten to fifteen minutesor put the cone on so that he doesn’t lick it off. I make my butter myself.”
When it was all said and done with, baby Frack needed a bath and tidy, brush-out/de-shedding session, nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, de-shedding treatment, paw balm, and nose butter. His total came to three hundred and thirty dollars, which Jessop didn’t blink at the price. Mobile grooming detail pricing wasn’t for the weak.
After we agreed upon the contract, he signed it and paid his 40 percent deposit. He gave me Frack’s leash. “Are you ready to go get handsome for your daddy, sir? Let’s go!”
As I walked out, I felt eyes on me. When I turned around, Sol’s eyes were glued to my ass. It wasn’t a surprise. It came with the territory of a woman with a nice, fat ass.
Fine As Fuk. . .
“Bro, Gorjess is fuckin’ gorgeous,” I professed. “Her ass didn’t give a fuck about none of us either. If it wasn’t Frack, she didn’t give a fuck.”
When she walked in here, I knew I had to have her ass. I didn’t know whether it was on some just fuck her shit or really get to know her. I loved that she was an expert about her line of work and took it seriously. You could tell that it wasn’t just a job and that she loved what she did.
Issac rubbed his hands together. “Her ass is thick as fuck too. You know an ass nice when it jiggles in khakis.”
My face tightened. “Yeah. What you’re not going to do is talk about my future woman like that. Neither of us appreciate the objectification of her.”
Issac threw his hands up. “My bad, Cousin. I won’t make that mistake again. Future sis-cousin is beautiful.”
Jessop turned on his game system. “Hell, at least you know she’s not broke. Three hundred and thirty dollars for a groom. That shit is crazy, but I understand. Yo, her trailer and truck are nice as fuck too. I’on know who she got to wrap it, but they did their thing.”
I nodded deep in thought. “She seems like she’s about her business. What’s the name of it again?”
“Gorjess Pups, which seems fitting, considering,” Jessop said. “You should go out there. I mean, check out her truck and trailer. See how it’s going with Frack.”
My dog!“I’m gonna give her a little more time to get in her zone. She said it might take like two hours or so. I got time.”
I should have just went out when he told me to. It felt like the minutes went by slowly as hell. “I’m about to go out there,” I said after I stood. “I’m going to bring her a bottle of water.”
“I see you being a gentleman like Auntie Prue taught you.” Issac pounded his chest twice with his fist. “I salute you.”
I waved him off while I walked to the kitchen. “Shut the fuck up and play the game. Jessop is whupping your ass.”
Jessop and Issac talked shit to each other. I ignored both of their ignorant asses. When I opened the front door, I stopped. Damn, Jessop wasn’t lying. She drove a big boy truck which made sense. Only certain vehicles could pull that size trailer. It was dope that she wrapped the truck too.
I closed Jessop’s front door, then walked over toward the trailer. She had the door open. When I got close to the door, I heard her voice. I thought she was talking to Frack until I heardher sayfine as fuck.I stopped in my tracks and allowed my nosy side to take over. I needed to know who was fine as fuck.
“Yes, girl. When I tell you all three of them are fine, but he’s the finest. Well, him and his cousin almost look like twins, but that man bun had me wanting to tackle his ass and rub my finger through his hair. I know it’s soft,”she cooed.Good, she’s talking about me.
“I told you, I don’t know. I can tell he had black in him, but I don’t know what else. I don’t want to be racist and assume, Elica.”There was a pregnant pause.“Polynesian, bitch!”
I smiled at her getting it right. I appreciated her consideration in not wanting to be racist. I didn’t think it was racist to make a guess.
“Bitch, did you really just say I should have him do one of his tribal songs and dance? Why do you assume that he would know any, with your racist ass?”She laughed hysterically.“Frack, my best friend is racist, and she don’t even know it. Here’s the sad part though, Frack. If he did, I’d fold like a T-shirt folded in a T-shirt folder by Sheldon.”
That was good to know and would work to my advantage. I only performed our tribal dance and songs at fights or if we had celebrations. That meant that I would have to invite her to one. I could do that. I stood there for about another five minutes while she continued to talk about me before she switched the conversation to Jessop and how good he would look with her best friend. Apparently, her best friend preferred chocolate men. Once she hung up from her call, I waited another minute to make my approach.
