Page 4 of I Heard It All Before

“You can miss me with all that shade you trying to throw. You already know why she hasn’t been up here to see me. That was my choice. My girl didn’t need to see me like that,” Cam replied.

“Your girl?” Asha said as she twisted her neck and put her hand on her shapely hips.

“Man, Asha, cut the bullshit and let’s go. I don’t have time for your tantrums right now,” Cam said while snatching his keys from her hand.

Asha pouted like she always did when she didn’t get her way and stomped to the other side of the truck. She didn’t have the best relationship with Camden’s mother, but he never seemed to care. Cam loved his mother more than life, and he made sure that everybody knew it. Cam was an only child, and Nora was the best mother that a boy could ask for. She was the one who threw the football with him when he was younger. She played video games with him and even accompanied him to some of the car shows that he insisted on going to. She did it all with a smile and never complained. Even when his father vacationed in Italy while she played the role of single mother, she never once made a fuss.

“Bring me home before you go over there,” Asha said as they pulled off and got on the highway.

After being away for over a year, Cam wasn’t in the mood to deal with Asha’s childish behavior. Asha was a twenty-five-year-old spoiled brat, but Cam already knew that when they got together. She was the youngest of her mother’s kids and the only girl. She was used to getting her way and she hated to be told no. Cam didn’t give a damn, and she already knew that.

“Man, I’ve been gone for eighteen months and you’re still on that dumb shit. Since you feel like using your mouth, come hook a nigga up,” Cam said while pointing to his crotch area.

“I wish the fuck I would. Tell your mama to hook you up, since she’s your girl,” Asha argued.

“Keep saying slick shit about my mama and we gon’ have a problem. Nigga ain’t had pussy in over a year and your stupid ass doing all that bitching.” Cam frowned.

He turned the music up high and tuned out whatever Asha was trying to say. She was too damn childish and arguing was like a sport to her. It was too early in the morning to be going through the motions. He had no problem dropping her off home and going his own way without her.

“Did you hear me, Camden? I said I was sorry,” Asha said after a while.

“Whatever man,” Cam said while shaking his head in disgust. Not even an hour out and she was starting up already.

“I said I’m sorry baby. I’m not trying to stress you on your first day out,” Asha replied.

Cam was never the arguing type. He would leave home for hours before he went back and forth with her. Asha didn’t want him to leave, so she did her best to make things right. After pulling her long weave into a tight ponytail, Asha took off her seat belt and moved closer to her man. Cam was trying to play hard, but he softened like butter when Asha pulled his erection out and started stroking him. When he felt her tongue sliding up and down his length, he grabbed the back of her head with one hand and drove with the other.

“Shit, I forgive you,” Cam said as he shoved her head deeper into his lap and tried to concentrate on the open road ahead.
