Candy offered a weak smile. “Yeah, I wanna explore the world like you, Umber! I’ve lived here my entire life, never done anything or been anywhere. Frankie and my sister-wives have lived. Shoot, Pauline was Frankie’s backup dancer back in the day! I think it’s my time now.”
Everyone quickly agreed, and I let my eyes peruse the room. The twins were still at their individual tables. Both nodded at me, and I returned my attention to my table.
“Lilith! Is that an engagement ring?!” Pauline trilled.
Beaming brightly, my woman nodded, extending her hand for all to see. “Yep! Ray told me I’m going to marry him!”
Everyone laughed, not knowing she was deadass.
And so was I.
On my mama, I was.
“Congratulations, you two! That’s one big ass ring! You say you deal in real estate, Ray?” Mr. King asked me.
“Yes, sir. I own several commercial properties throughout the city,” I answered him.
“That’s some good shit right there. Anyway, like I was saying, with Candy leaving, we gon’ have a vacancy. Y’all keep your eyes open for me….” Papa King continued.
Damn, this old man really was a pimp.
Memphis: Engaged?! What the fuck, man?
Me: Not your business.
Memphis: Fuck you! She’s my sister!
Me: And she’s a grown woman. Believe me, I know.
Memphis: When this shit is all settled, I’m fucking you up!
Me: Okay. Any leads?
Memphis: No. You?
Me: No.
Ray liked sleeping—yes, his lying ass actually did sleep—with his fingers in my pussy. Hell, I liked it, too. After sex, he was always down for the count and I liked the after-spooning, having his hard body pressed against mine. As much as I liked feeling his fingers inside me when he was the big spoon, I think I enjoyed being the big spoon more. There was just something about burying my face in his neck or kissing his back. He always smelled so good, and I always felt so secure.
“What’s your middle name?” I asked against his back.
“You don’t already know?” he rumbled.
“I actually don’t. I didn’t see it in any of the articles.”
“That’s because I don’t have one, Lilith Regina.”
“Really? I’ve never known a Black person with no middle name.”
“Now you do.”
“Hmmm, I’m going to think of one for you. How about…Diablo?”
He laughed, “Fuck you, Lilith.”
“You just did and very well.”
“I’ma start restricting this dick. That’ll be some Diablo shit for your ass.”
