“Ouch! That’s a bit harsh,” Trista rebutted.
“Oh well! I was nothing but nice to that girl, and she did me dirty. She can kiss my ass!”
“She’s going through a lot?—”
“Man, fuck her!” I interjected. “Your girl wrong as hell. Enough about her, let’s talk about you. What you on right now? You about to stay up there with her all day or what?”
“What you have in mind?”
“Shit, why don’t you come through and I can show you better than I can tell you.”
“Jamal, shut up! You play too much!” Trista giggled.
“I’m so serious. You down to come kick it with me or what?”
There was a moment of silence before Trista spoke. At first, I thought she was going to reject me, but to my surprise she didn’t.
“I suppose I can make that happen.”
“You can make what happen? Jamal plays too much about what?” I heard Tatiana say.
I could feel the tension through the phone. “Come through now and smoke one with me. Fuck her, you ain’t gotta explain shit to that trifling bitch! I’ll text you my address. Hit me when you on your way.”
“What are you and Jamal talking about, Trista, and don’t fucking lie to me!” I heard Tatiana yell right before the line went dead. Trista must have disconnected the call.
Laughing out loud, I rolled another blunt while I waited for Trista to hit my line back.
CHAPTER 12
@Trista
“What areyou and Jamal talking about, Trista, and don’t fucking lie to me!” Tatiana roared, startling the life out of me.
She and her mom had walked off to privately speak with her dad’s doctor. Figuring I’d give them their time, I stayed back in the room and waited for Tatiana to come back. As I waited, I decided to call Jamal and check in on him. I felt bad seeing him get thrown out the hospital after Tatiana assaulted and embarrassed him. I get why he was so angry with her; I also get why she was angry with him. It was just all too much and a very unfortunate situation.
After all that had taken place and lying to Tati about last night with Jamal, I knew it was shady for me to hit him up. I couldn’t help myself Jamal was a whole vibe to me. I was attracted to him at first sight, and what made it hard for me to not act on my feelings was the fact that I knew Tatiana really wasn’t feeling him. Even though I was high, drunk, and feelingmyself, I vividly remember he and I doing it. Just the thought of how amazing and passionate it was, had my yoni throbbing.
I honestly figured at the end of the day, Tatiana really wouldn’t care if he and I hooked up because she wanted Reggie. From the way she snapped off on me earlier over me and Jamal dancing and dipping off, I guess I assumed incorrectly how she’d feel. Now that Tatiana had snuck up on me talking to him, I wasn’t sure how much of the conversation she overheard. I had no choice but to quickly disconnect the call ‘cause I was caught red-handed. I was guilty as sin and really didn’t know what to say.
“Wow, Trista, really?” Tatiana sneered. “I thought we were better than that!”
“Come on, Tati! You trippin’, girl. It’s not like you checkin’ for Jamal all like that anyway and you know it.”
“You disloyal bitch!” Tatiana shrieked before connecting her fist with my jaw.
I tried to have sympathy for the fact that her dad was laid up fighting for his life, but she had now crossed the line with me. To some people it probably looked bad for me to hook up with Jamal, but Tatiana wasn’t into him all like that and that was the simple truth. In true Tatiana fashion it wouldn’t make sense if she didn’t make a big deal out of it. Had it been me and she hooked up with a dude I was messing with just to be doing it, I wouldn’t have cared. She had told me herself that Reggie was who she truly wanted, and that Jamal was just something to do in the mean and in between time.
If anybody was bogus it was Tatiana…periodt! Also, let’s not forget that she spent the night with Reggie last night, further proving where and who she truly wanted to be with. She told me herself that she and Reggie had sex and that it was the best she’d ever had. She also took the liberty to put Jamal on blast and tell how he only had one testicle. It’s a true story and it looked weirdas shit, but it had no effect on his penis or dick game in any way whatsoever. The weirdness of having one ball, I could say he absolutely made up for in girth and length. To me, his sex game was all that and then some. I personally had no complaints and wouldn’t mind getting some more of it, just saying.
I get Tatiana being upset, but to the point where she felt the need to put her hands on me was way over the top. She had me fucked up and she’d found the right one today! Serving her with a few punches and slaps to the face and head, we went at it until security and a couple of nurses broke us up. That fight resulted in me getting escorted out of the hospital, and so here I was driving around town in an attempt to calm myself down.
Tatiana and I were close simply because we had a lot in common. Truth of the matter was that she was an overall really cool chick. She just had a very bad attitude at times, she was spoiled and entitled as hell. Jamal never lied about that, yet at the same time, all Tatiana really needed was love and attention. She didn’t get it at home, so she found it elsewhere. Her dad had set the bar rather high causing Tatiana to be attracted to a certain type of guy. Reggie fit that description perfectly in comparison to Jamal. It didn’t make Jamal a bad guy, just not the guy for Tatiana obviously. Tatiana didn’t really like Jamal for real, but I did. I was attracted to Jamal the moment Tatiana introduced us to each other at her birthday dinner.
There was something about the way he looked at me that made me feel that he was just as attracted to me as I was to him. Jamal was indeed a very sexy man. He had to be at least five-foot-eleven in height to my five-foot-five inches. I could tell that he worked out and stayed active because he was strong and lean built. His complexion was the color of honey, almost a golden like shade. I usually was attracted to darker skinned men, but Jamal had a swag about him that was hard to ignore.
When Jamal and I started dancing at Tatiana’s party, we were both high and feeling good. The music took over and the next thing I knew we were dancing so close I could feel his nature rise. One thing led to another and the next thing I knew we had sex. At first, I felt guilty, but at the same time it was amazing. I knew in just the short time I’d known Jamal that he was worth my friendship with Tatiana hands down. I would have felt different if Tatiana was in love and wanted to be in a relationship with him but that wasn’t the case, so I was going to do what made me happy. It was what it was ‘cause it wasn’t like she wasn’t focused on what made her happy. Just as I was about to call Jamal to tell him what happened, he called me.
“Your ears must be ringing because I was just about to call you.”
