Page 78 of Finessed By A Hood White Boy

“Oh hell,” Aja said, giggling.

“I’m so serious! I really do love yall!” She continued to smile. “And I do have something to tell y'all, but I don’t know how it’s going to make you feel.” She twiddled her fingers.

“Girl, just spit it out.” Aja sat up ready to sip the tea.

“Ace is the black guy I’ve been talking to.” She quickly covered her face.

Both Aja and I sat with our mouths dropped wide open. I definitely wasn’t expecting her to say Ace, and from that moment on I wanted no more details about what she’s been doing behind closed doors.

“Oh my god, ewwww!” Aja shouted jokingly. “Lord, out of all the fine niggas walking this Earth you picked Ace rude ass.”

I laughed at that because they were definitely opposites.

“He’s actually funny and a smooth talker.” Julia blushed.

“Well if you like it, I love it, sista.” Aja gave her a high five.

“As long as you’re happy. Now, I have to threaten his ass to keep him in line.” I shrugged.

I knew my brother like the back of my hand. I considered Julia a close friend and I didn’t want or need Ace fuckin her over in any kind of way.

“Have you ever been with a black guy?” Aja turned to ask Stephanie.

“Yeah, but he wasn’t like fully black. Like his mom is white, dad black. He was actually my first love in high school.” She blushed.

“Are you talking about Aaronnn?” Julia teased with a giggle.

“Yes, him.” Stephanie laughed, turning red.

“You still talk to him?” I asked, being nosey as hell.

“No. He’s married now with kids.” She sighed.

“And?” Aja smacked her lips.

“See, bitch, that’s why your ass doesn't need to be married. Because you pop a lot of shit as a single woman, but I know damn well you’ll be hurt and ready to kill a hoe if somebody tried you like that.” I rolled my eyes.

“Oh, my bad. I forgot you’re the only married one here.” Aja laughed.

“But that really doesn’t count because Rob ain’t shit, and he was a waste of time and energy. Yo’ ass needs a do-over.”

“Yeah, with Ethan,” Julia added with a smile.

My head fell into my hands because every chance Julia got, she would express how much she loved seeing Ethan and me together.

“I keep telling y’all that Ethan and I are just friends having fun.”

“Yeah, y’all having fun alright. Friends who fuck on the regular always end up catching feelings and making it official.” Aja side eyed me.

“You’re sleeping with Ethan?” Stephanie asked with a dropped jaw. “I knew it! I didn’t want to ask and be wrong, so I never said anything.”

“Steph, it’s so obvious.” Julia laughed.

“No, it’s not.” I shook my head.

“Yes, it is. You know what gives it away?” Julia lifted her eyebrow.

“What?” I folded my arms.
