He waved me off. “I didn’t ask you, I asked her.”
I glanced at Samara, and I flicked my nose before I laughed. “I don’t know you my nigga and you really don’t want no smoke. She doesn’t want to be at this muhfucka.”
He came closer and grabbed her other hand. “Sama—”
I shoved his ass back. “I told you she was good the next one is going to be me beating yo ass.”
Anger was slowly rising in me. When it came to Mars, a nigga couldn’t tell me anything. She gave a type of love I knew I couldn’t get anywhere else and if this nigga thought for a second, I was going to let him swoop in like a prince he had me fucked up. My nose flared as my fist curled into a ball. Mars placed herhand on my chest, and she said something that snapped me out of it. “Let’s go, baby,” she whispered.
My eyes landed on hers, and she nodded. I backed away with Mars walking in front of me. “I told you goofy, clown ass nigga,” I laughed wildly.
I saw another big nigga come down the walkway staring at us. They whispered something to each other before I sped off. I could see that nigga had him a little team on and I noted to keep my head on the swivel. I wasn’t trying to cause trouble, I just wanted my girl.
I wanted to tell Samara I loved her. I didn’t want her to think for one second, she didn’t have a place in my heart. When I came to a red light, I turned the music down and turned toward her, but the fear she had in her eyes made me curious. “What’s wrong, Mars?”
Her eyes widened as she glanced at me then pointed. I followed her hand to the nigga crossing the street. “What, that nigga hurt you?”
“He-he set Chevy’s place on fire. I was in there,” she mumbled.
That nigga tried to kill her.I went to press the gas, but she placed her hand on my lap,“Dio, no!”she screamed.
“Samara, the nigga tried to kill you.”
“I know, but I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
I was boiling inside. She saved him, but he wouldn’t be saved from the Zoo. First thing in the morning, I was going to Zeus about it. In the meantime, I was going to keep my cool because I didn’t want to ruin the night by being on some killer shit. A nigga finally had a second chance, I didn’t want to drop the ball.
SAMARA
Dio and I rode in silence until we were back in Lake Hill. He had pulled up in the driveway to his brother’s house and killed the ignition. Dio turned to me with a serious face. “Let me say what I got to say before you say anything.”
He slowly ran his hand over his head, then down his face. I watched as his tongue ran across his lips. He then leaned on the steering wheel, and his gold chain dangled. Dio was so fine, and I couldn’t focus no matter how hard I tried. Now I was curious what it would be like to make love to him. I know at one point he tried, and I turned him down, but it was my birthday, and I wanted him as my gift.
“A nigga wants to apologize. I want to start with that because I saw you with my eyes, but I should have done it with my eyes closed. Mars you make a nigga feel at ease. You give me this feeling that I can’t get from anyone else. You know my darkest secrets. When a nigga was in that coma it was you, I was thinking about. I need to know that you forgive me. Forgive me for not being the person you needed when you needed me. You are my best friend.”
My heart felt like a burst of orange. It was transforming this deeper love for him. It was like a soothing teal, which was bright but not overpowering. I smiled at him. “I forgive you, but I owe you a thank you because if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have met people like Chevy and Zaria, and although they are new, I feel like I have known them all my life. Dio, you are my best friend and I—”
He stopped me. “Not yet. We have two hours left of our birthday, and I want to do something before it’s over.”
Dio dropped his head and then glanced at me. “I released Ace. Well, I released myself. It was never my best friend I was seeing, it was myself and that night I called you over had you not shown up, Mars,” he paused. “I was going to kill myself.”
I didn’t know what to say, but I did know I was happy to be there for him in a time of need because not only would I have felt guilt I would have lost the person I didn’t know I needed in my life. I leaned forward and kissed him. I kissed him for his pain, kissed him for saving me, and kissed him simply because I loved him.
He got out of the car, came around, and opened my door. I took his hand as he led me toward the house. He used his key to open the door. The first thing I heard was music playing. I looked at him curiously. “Don’t worry about him, we’re about to do the same thing if you let me.”
I gave him a sexy grin. “No, if you let me. I told you before, I can blow your mind if I want to.”
“What’s up then?”
I giggled. I knew Dio thought I was playing, but tonight I was about to put my money where my mouth was.
ZEUS
My tongue slid between Sasha’s titties as she rode me. It had been weeks since I felt her wet pussy on me and this taste of heaven was worth the wait. Her head dropped forward as she stared into my eyes while fucking on me. It was something about her almond shaped eyes and the black lipstick that drove a nigga crazy. She hadn’t said much since we started fucking and although I was enjoying it, I began wondering what she was thinking.
I flipped her on her back, placing one leg over my shoulder. My hand pressed firmly into the bed as my body got closer to hers. “I missed this pussy so much,” I grunted.
“AAH,”she moaned.
