Chapter Four
******
Hey peoples. I just woke up, and I don't know how I feel really. My
emotions are all over the place. I mean, after yesterday, I don't think I
feel like dealing with anyone today. No matter what I do, I keep reflecting
back to last night...
"Hey girl, get up!" Dany said, coming and plopping down on my bed.
"What're you so up and perky for? You're usually dragging in the morning." I said, wiping the sleep from my eyes.
"You know what I say? I say that we skip today." Dany said, sitting up against the wall right next to me.
"Did Dany Garcia just say that she wanted to SKIP? Hell must've frozen over, because you've never skipped in your whole time of being here!" I said, giggling.
"Crissy, I don't feel like going today. And we haven't gotten a chance to hang out at all this week so far. We need to, and today is just the day we can do it. We can take the bus and go up to Coral Gables and shop til' we DROP, girl." Dany said.
"You know what? I think I will skip today. After last night, I don't wanna face Mr. Johnson today. I can't." I said, putting my head down.
"Honey, don't tell me you're STILL tripping off last night. You two just kissed...it's not like you had sex." Dany said, looking at me closely.
"And even though we both agreed that we would just forget it ever happened and stuff, I still can't shake it no matter what I do." I said, ignoring her.
"Did he try and kiss you again when you left?" Dany asked.
"No, we just hugged and said goodbye to each other and that we'd see each other in class." I answered, confused.
"So then everything's cool! Look, I know that you like him and stuff, and I know that you're walking on treacherous ground by acting on your feelings. But he obviously feels something too. He doesn't want to lose his job, and you don't want him to get in trouble or get yourself in trouble for that matter. It's hard, I know. And I'm not so sure that getting involved with your teacher is the best way to go about things, Crissy." Dany said.
"What are you talking about? One minute you talk like you're all for me and what I'm doing, and then the next you talk as if you're against it. Will you tell me what the hell your point is?!" I asked, getting frustrated.
"I've been trying to be supportive of you as much as I can, but hey...I've had enough. You can't do this. I've had all I can stand. But when you get to the point where you go from a regular school girl crush to something more in that you're kissing him and stuff? No...that's not the way to go." Dany said.
"You know what? I don't care what you say. You make it seem like this is- fine. You wanna be like that? I thought you were my best friend." I said, snubbing my nose up at her.
"I AM your best friend. I care for you and because of that, I'm advising you to do something that makes sense. Leave the man alone." Dany said, looking at me.
"Forget you." I said, getting off the bed.
"Why are you being like this?" Dany asked, getting up.
"Because how do you go from completely supporting me to changing your mind in midstream? You can't do that! I came to you and I tried to talk to you about something that was bothering me, and you're telling me to do something that is going to be hard for me to do...in fact, it's impossible!" I said, grabbing the phone to dial Maia's number.
"Hello?" Maia answered, half asleep.
"You feel like skipping with me today?" I asked.
"You're not even gonna go to Dwayne's class?" Maia asked. "No...look, are you game or not? I wanna go to the Wellness Center and chill in the jacuzzi for a little bit. I have to clear my head." I said.
"Oka girl, calm down. You sound pissed off. Did I do something last night? Did I say something?" Maia asked.
"No, it's not you. Look, I'm coming over to your place in the next 5 or 10 minutes or so. I have to get ready. Bring your swim suit for the jacuzzi and some money with you. We're going shopping up in Coconut Grove." I said.
"Okay, see you in a little bit." Maia said, hanging up.
"Oh, so you wanna spend the day with HER because she has the same point of you on your Criminology teacher and I don't?" Dany asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"It's none of your damn business. Look, if you're gonna skip then I guess you're on your own...unless you wanna skip with some of your friends from your Business Management or Finance class. I don't know, and frankly I don't care." I said.
"You know what? Fine. You wanna be a bitch, so I'm not talking to you. When you get some sense, that's when you call me." Dany said, walking out the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You gotta tell me what's wrong, Crissy. For real. You never did tell me what happened when you and Dwayne walked back to his apartment." Maia said, walking with me to the WC.
"We kissed Maia. But it started at your place." I started.
"You did what?! So that's why you two were acting all weird when I came back into the room! Okay! Do tell!" Maia said, smiling. "What had happened was, we had ran into each other, and we was both carrying these heavy boxes of yours. Those slipped out or hands and went crashing to the ground. When me and him bent down to pick up the boxes we were carrying, we leaned in too close apparently, and kissed." I said.
"That's it? Man, that's nothing! You kissed on accident!" Maia said, laughing.
"That's why he asked me to come outside with me, to talk about that. So we start talking and I eventually tell him that I have a crush on him. Cause he wanted to know all of what I told Dany for her to be smiling and saying what she was saying yesterday. I didn't tell him all of the truth, instead I just told him I told her I thought he was cute and that was all. We make it back to his apartment and we're standing outside his door. I'm looking at him, he's looking at me...and the next thing we both know we're kissing. So I break it off, saying I had to go back to your place. So we say goodbye and he goes back in his apartment and I walk away. In midstream I change my mind and decide that I'm gonna go back to his apartment, because it was just silly of me to leave him in the first place. That's when I called you. So afterward I went back to his apartment, he answered the door, I went in and we started talking. I couldn't help myself, so I kissed him. I mean like, passionately. For real. And he asks me if I'm sure I know what I'm getting into and I'm like yeah and he sets me up on his dining room table and starts kissing me. It's getting hot and heavy and whatnot, and then in the middle of kissing me, he just stops. He says we shouldn't be doing what we were doing and all that. So we agree to act like it never happened. So I left after that. And then when I told Dany the story this morning she wants to go off on some trip about how I'm wrong for wanting to be with him anyway and that I should, I quote, 'Leave the man alone' and all that. That's why when I called you this morning that I sounded like I did. Up until now she's been supportive and stuff, but because we kissed now, she makes it sound like it's my fault. So we're not talking." I said, finally having explained myself. "Damn girly! Why didn't you call me up when you got back last night and told me what happened with him?" Maia asked, opening up the door to the WC for me.
"I don't know. And it's been troubling me all night. When I woke up, it was like it wouldn't leave my mind. I'm afraid of how to feel when I'm around him now. Things are just weird, and I feel like things are my fault, though he says they're his." I said, waving to Eileen afterward and heading with Maia upstairs to the women's locker room.
"Sweetie, I don't know what to say. I KNEW something was up when you didn't come back...I just wasn't sure of what." Maia said, changing into her swimsuit.
I was already changed into my swimsuit, it was just that I had a shirt and pants over it. All I had to do was take those off. Oh stuff! Maia and me have on matching black bikini swimsuits!
"We're twins!" Maia said, pointing at me and then herself.
"So we are!" I said, laughing. How odd is that?
"You got your towel?" Maia asked, looking at me.
"You got yours?" I asked, looking at her.
"Yeah." We both answered, then laughed.
"So, do you come up here everyday?" Maia asked as we made our way to the jacuzzi room.
"Every morning I come up here at this time just to clear my head. If something is on my mind, sitting in the jacuzzi until I'm wrinkled helps." I said, laughing.
"Until you're WRINKLED? Girl, you crazy." Maia said, as we walked into the room. "I'm not crazy! You just haven't LIVED until you try it like this every morning!" I said, not paying attention enough to see that Dwayne was in the jacuzzi right in front of me. Maia had all her attention on me as I was talking, so I doubt she knew either.
Maia and I took our towels off and turned around only to be face to face with Dwayne. He looked up at us and smiled.
"Morning Ladies." He said.
Maia and I looked at each other, and our jaw just dropped. After the night that I had, he's the last person I want to see now. I'm so confused and don't know what to do.
"Well, are you gonna get in or just stand there and look at each other like you're insane?" Dwayne asked, laughing afterward.
"Maybe he HAS forgotten after all." I whispered to Maia as we both got in the jacuzzi.
"Why so quiet this morning?" Dwayne asked, with his eyes locked on both of us.
"Couldn't sleep." Maia and I both said, simultaneously.
"Really? Why? I slept like a baby last night." Dwayne said.
"I had a lot of things on my mind...what about you, Maia?" I said, looking at Maia.
"I have to get accustomed to staying on a new campus, I get." Maia said, shrugging her shoulders.
"You introducing Maia to your daily ritual, I see." Dwayne said, chuckling to himself.
"Actually, I just got in an argument with my friend Dany, so I called Maia up to come with me. I figured we could talk a little bit of girl talk." I said, looking at him.
"Why were you and your friend fighting?" Dwayne asked, sounding concerned.
"Oh, you know how it is with girls...we got into an argument over a GUY and we're not talking." I said, glaring at him.
"Oh I know how that is...my cousin and her best friend used to fight all the time about guys in college. Even now they find themselves arguing about some guy...it's the same thing all the time." Dwayne said, laughing.
"Yeah..." I said, laughing and pretending to be interested.
"I'll be right back, guys. I have to go find something to eat before I DIE!" Maia said, laughing and then getting out the jacuzzi to leave the room in search of some food.
"I know you're feeling uncomfortable about last night." Dwayne said, coming over to my side of the jacuzzi.
"Really? I thought you wouldn't have noticed." I said dryly.
"Honey, listen to me." Dwayne started, putting his hands on my shoulders and facing me towards him.
"What do you want me to do? I'm confused and I don't know what to feel around you anymore. You yourself said that this isn't a good idea. And even though we agreed that we were going to forget like last night didn't happen, I can't." I said.
"I can't either. I lied when I said I slept like a baby...I couldn't stop thinking about you all night. I didn't get a wink of sleep." Dwayne said, looking at me.
"So then what do we do? I want this, really I do, you could lose your job, I could get expelled, and then that's the end of me getting my degree to go into Law. And you...this could hurt you so bad. You were a former lawyer of the state, and a good one at that because you were known by hundreds of people...I don't know. I really don't know what to think." I said, looking down at the bubbling water.
"Just go with it. There's nothing for you to worry about, okay? I got you, honey. I got you." Dwayne said, leaning in to kiss me.
I started to resist at first, but it was only a matter of time before I surrendered. This man's got a power over me that I swear can't be matched by anyone else. Only 4 days into knowing him, and I want him. This is the quickest I've ever fallen for a guy...a man for that matter. Rest assure, I don't DO this kinda thing with every guy I meet, people.
He's coming around so that he has me up against the wall of the jacuzzi. We're still kissing, and I'm really gettin into it now.
"You sure you wanna do this?" I asked, in the midst of trying to catch my breath.
"Yes. I don't know what I was thinking of last night." Dwayne said, lookin into my eyes.
"I don't know what you were thinking of either..." I said, kissing him and running my hands all over his back as he started kissing my neck.
It's been about 20 minutes, and things are starting to get hot and heavy now. Suddenly I hear the door open and in walking comes Maia all fired up.
"Girl, let me TELL you-"
She stops as soon as she sees what's going on in front of her. She gives me the thumbs up and mouths "You go girl" before turning back around and walking out the room. She is so dumb!
"You know, what if someone else walks in? This IS a facility that other people come to use too, you know." I said, smirking at Dwayne.
"So what?" Dwayne asked, kissing me afterward.
"Um, hold up. We can't let anyone know about this." I said, stopping him.
"You don't think I know that already?" Dwayne asked, backing up.
"I didn't mean to make it sound like that, but we DO have to keep quiet about this." I said.
"I completely understand. I won't say a word, I promise." Dwayne said, putting his right hand across his chest.
"Okay. I promise I won't tell either." I said, repeating what Dwayne had done earlier and then leaned in to kiss him.
~*~Meanwhile.~*~
"Look, I know I don't know you and how you and Crystal's friendship works, but I know that I'm cool with her and she's my friend too, and I ain't gonna be tolerating you talking about my girl like that." Maia said.
"I can say whatever the hell I want, because as far as I know, I don't associate myself with ho's. Too bad so sad for her, huh? You should get out too, while you got a chance." Dany said, laughing.
"Look Dany, I'm telling you not to talk about my girl like that." Maia said, getting in Dany's face.
"Well it's not like you're gonna DO (push) anything about it anyway, so why keep wasting your breath on a smut like her?" Dany asked.
"That's IT, bitch!" Maia said, raising her voice.
Pretty soon the two women start fighting in the women's locker room of the Wellness Center. Dany pulls Maia's hair and to retaliate Maia knocks Dany to the ground. The fighting only gets worse as Maia is soon on top of Dany, choking her. Dany punches Maia hard in the lip, sending Maia off of her. Maia touches her lip to see that it's bleeding a bit too much and looks at Dany.
"I'm bleeding? Oh NO you DIDN'T!" Maia yelled, charging towards Dany.
~*~But anyway, back to where we left off~*~
"Damn Dwayne."
You guys have come right in the middle of something! I don't know where you just wandered off to, but while you were gone Dwayne and I got tired of just talking. LOL! He's got me backed up against the wall of the jacuzzi and kissing my neck while his right hand is making its way down the front of my bikini bottom. Why the hell have I deprived myself of this when I could've had it just LAST night?! Please tell me what I was thinking, cause I sure as hell don't know!!!
"What're you gonna do should Maia come in?" Dwayne asked, feeling on me.
"I don't know and don't quite frankly give a damn.." I said, arching my back a little.
"Shit, sorry I asked." Dwayne said, chuckling and going to untie my bikini top.
"We better take this somewhere else in case somebody other than Maia walks in." I said, stopping Dwayne.
"Where you wanna take this at, Judge?" I asked, getting out the jacuzzi and fixing my bathing suit (even though it was just going to end up off of me later).
Dwayne gets out of the jacuzzi and comes up from behind me, later slapping my ass.
"I think this needs to proceed in the shower, Counselor." He answers, taking my hand and leading me out of the room as we make our way to the men's locker room.
~*~Meanwhile.~*~
"I don't believe this shit!" Maia says, peering into the mirror in the women's locker room and examining her face.
Cuts bombarded her neck and right cheek, and her bottom lip was starting to swell. She had to admit though, she wasn't as bad as how she left Dany. Dany had a black eye and all of that and more. She couldn't tell Crystal about fighting Dany, because it would only make her feel worse.
Maia picked up the bottle of alcohol she'd gotten from downstairs and took a wash cloth and started to clean her face up of the dried blood that was there. It stung, but oh well.
It seemed like everywhere she went she ended up having to fight for her friends. Maia couldn't go anywhere without avoiding something like that from happening. But, there was one difference from this fight over one of her friends and all the other ones. Maia knew that Crystal would do the same for her any day of the week. They've only known each other for a few days, but the two of them had grown extremely close in that time. Maia thought that was a small reason as to why Dany was being so bitchy lately, out of jealousy. Still, that wouldn't bother Maia. She just kicked Dany's ass, so what's there to worry about?
This time alone sure was giving her time to think. Crystal and Dwayne's secret relationship was cute, she thought. Maia wasn't jealous by any means, but she often wondered what it would be like if it were her instead of Crystal. She thought Dwayne was cute too, as probably do hundreds of girls that attend UM in addition to her and Crystal. And Crystal knows Maia's feelings for him, and it doesn't bother her one bit. So everything's cool.
~*~But anyway, back to where we left off~*~
"Damn! Every time we want to do something, we get interrupted!" Dwayne said in my ear.
I don't know what it is with you guys and your taking off, but Dwayne and I were just trying to spend some "quality time" in one of the shower stalls, and that's when a whole bunch of other guys decide that's when they wanna take a shower! All the other stalls are filled, so there's no way in hell we can do this here. Fuck!
Dwayne peeks from behind the shower curtain and out the shower stall and sees that no guys are wandering around in the open. He turns to me and grabs my hand.
"The coast is clear," he says as we walk out the stall and into the main area of the locker room where the lockers are.
"Look, I have to go find Maia. I'll see you in class later." I say, kissing Dwayne on the lips.
"Okay honey, I'll see you later." Dwayne says, kissing me back and then smacking me on my ass as I go to leave the room.
I shut the door behind me, and now am out in the middle of the hallway. Okay, I know I said I was going to skip today and not go to any classes INCLUDING his, but hey.would you deny yourself THAT, even for an hour? (That's how long the class is) I think not! I need to get out of this swim suit, I know that! Let me go in here in the women's locker room and change.
I walk in and see Maia, who seems to be dressing these cuts on her face. What is wrong now? When I saw her earlier, she didn't have any cuts or anything on her.
"Maia, where the hell have you been?" I asked, shutting the door behind me.
"I went to go get something to eat, I told you that." Maia said, looking at me.
"Honey, going to get something to eat is one thing, but ending up with a fat and bloody lip is another. Now tell me what happened, and let me do this." I say, taking the bottle of alcohol and washcloth from her.
"I got in a fight with this dumb bitch who wanted to get smart, so I fucked her ass up." Maia said.
"Well who was this girl? Do I know her?" I asked, wiping the blood from her lip.
"No, you don't know her." Maia said, lying.
"But anyway, what happened with you and Mr. Sexy?" Maia asked, changing the subject and smiling.
"We just made out for the most part, and agreed to keep our relationship under wraps. You, me and him are the only ones that are to know about this." I started, looking at Maia in a serious manner.
"Girl, I got your back. My ass is silent, I don't know a damn thing." Maia said, smiling.
"Every time we tried to do something, we got interrupted! Like, we were gonna do something in the jacuzzi, but if anyone other than you came in there, it would've been hell. So we left and went into the men's locker room to attempt to do something in one of the shower stalls. As soon as we get in there, that's when a whole bunch of guys decide they wanna take a shower. So all the stalls were filled up with guys showering and talking and laughing and all that shit, so needless to say, we didn't get it on THERE, either." I said, shaking my head. Maia laughed.
"So what now?" Maia asked.
"I told him I would see him in class." I said, looking innocently at Maia. I knew what was coming.
"You said you was gonna skip and not go to ANY of your classes today girl! What's that about?!" Maia said, disappointed.
"And that was the original plan, I KNOW, but can you blame me? Ask yourself this question. Could you go one hour without Dwayne either?" I asked, chuckling.
"Okay, I see your point." Maia said, smiling and playfully pushing me.
"Okay, we're almost done." I said, getting almost all of the blood from Maia's lip.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Pop Quiz!!!" Dwayne yelled with a smile.
All of us in the class groan, because we are really dreading this. This is only the 4th day, and I don't believe he's getting pop quiz-happy already!
"Hey, check out Mr. Johnson's khaki's today." Nikki says, whispering in my ear and then giggling afterward.
His khaki's looked pretty good on him today, actually. And oh my goodness, he's looking at me! He's standing at his desk and holding the pile of quizzes in his hand that he's about to hand out, and.ooh!!! I think Dwayne's thinking certain things he's not supposed to, cause um.let's just say it's pretty evident!
"Hard-on at 12-o'-clock!" Nikki, Cerisa, Maia and I all say amongst ourselves at the same time and then laugh hysterically.
I don't think he heard us, because he's passing out papers and I think him and Hiram are starting one of their family debates again.those two are some clowns, for real. Pretty soon Dwayne is up to Maia's row, and she's trying so hard to keep a straight face. But she's the first one to start the row off, and he's standing right next to her, and.if she wanted, she could get an up-close look at Dwayne's hard on! It's right there, just in her face!
"Now that's what I call up close and personal!" Nikki says out loud, making me and Maia and Cerisa start laughing hysterically.
Maia and I looked at each other, and then put our heads down so that he couldn't see our faces. I'm telling you, every day is a comedy scene in here! You might as well call it the Dwayne Johnson Comedy Hour, cause between some of the off-the-wall things he be doing (or saying for that matter) and the way we as a class just be acting straight out foolish.it's just hilarious! Oh wait, I got be quiet because he's coming to my row now!
"You okay?" Dwayne asks, looking down at me as I bring my face up and wipe the tears of laughter from my face. Don't look down, Crystal.don't look down..
"Yeah, I'm just fine. How about you?" I ask, attempting to keep a straight face. Nikki's over here whispering some funny shit in my ear and I'm about to burst any minute!
"I'm good. You think you're gonna ace this quiz?" Dwayne asked, giving me the tests to hand down the row.
"Um.I don't know actually. I guess I should be pretty confident." I say, and then out of nowhere accidentally drop the test papers.
"Good job, Crystal. Good job!" Nikki and Cerisa say, cracking up.
"Fuck both of you!" I say, gritting my teeth as I lean over to get the quizzes off the floor.
"Let me help you." Dwayne says, crouching on the floor to help me pick up the quizzes.
"Hey Cerisa.it's a nice day to go play some BALL, huh?" Nikki asks out loud, sending all the girls in the class into a fit of laughter.
"Hey people, now this is a damn pop quiz! That means no talking! If I see your mouth moving, you're talking, and you automatically get your paper ripped up and thrown in the trash.in simpler terms, you get a zero. Now keep playing with me and watch what happens." Dwayne warns, walking down the steps and glaring across the rows at us.
Dwayne hands me the quizzes and I take mine and pass them back to the others in the row. Dwayne looks from me to Nikki to Cerisa to Maia suspiciously and shakes his head, chuckling to himself.
So we behave while taking the quizzes, and after we're all finished he comes up row by row and collects them. His hard-on is gone now, but I have a feeling that as soon as he makes his way up to Maia's and then my row, somebody is gonna say something.
He's walking up to Maia's row now to collect the quizzes. Maia turns around to Nikki and smiles. Oh no, here it comes.see, I told you guys someone was gonna say something!
"Hey Nikki, I don't think it would be such a good idea for you to play BALL anymore, don't you think so?" Maia says out loud, sending Nikki into a fit of laughter.
"I agree, Maia. It's too bad too, because I was thinking that we could play on teams. You and Crystal could be on one side, and me and Cerisa could be on the other when we play with the BALL. That would be a nice game, don't you think Mr. Johnson?" Nikki says, turning to face Dwayne.
"Yeah." He says, not knowing a damn thing about what we're talking about. He's giving us this weird look, and it's making us laugh even more!
"Hey, I have an idea.why don't you play ball with us, Dwayne?" Cerisa asks, grinning.
"Shut up you guys! Dwayne, don't answer that." I say, trying to stop him from getting into something he couldn't get himself out of.
"Why Crystal? I think playing ball with you guys would be fun." Dwayne said, laughing. He knew what we were talking about! Oh shit!
Nikki, Cerisa and Maia all have their heads down on the desk, laughing. I started laughing hysterically, just as they were. See what I have to deal with? These chicas are just too much sometimes! And THIS guy.Dwayne is a dumb ass! He's gonna stand there and say something like that, knowing what we're talking about the whole time!
"Aight ladies, calm down. I don't wanna have to take my belt off." Dwayne said, touching his belt and looking at each of us, singling us out.
Maia turns around and gives me this look. I had forgotten about our thing with the belt, but now she's making me remember again! Oh no! Here I go again with the giggles!
"You better shut up, girl. He's giving you the eye! Look! He's raising that eyebrow, so you know what that means!" Nikki whispers to me, giggling.
"Did you just hear me, Counselor? I know you didn't think I was just playing." Dwayne said, starting to unbuckle his belt.
"Oooh!" The class says, starting to laugh.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" I said, laughing.
"That's what you better say." Dwayne says, winking at me and then smiling as he starts to buckle his belt while walking down the steps.
"You was really bout to give it to her, huh?" Hiram asked, grinning at his uncle.
"I'll give it to YOU in a minute, if you don't hush up, boy. I know you don't want me to take you back in the day when I used to put a hurtin' on that ass whenever you decided you wanted to act up." Dwayne said, smiling. The Johnson family debate has now began!
"Oooh!" That's us again.
"Oh, so you wanna be a big man, bringing up the past, huh DEWEY?" Hiram asked, smiling at Dwayne.
"What'd you just call me?" Dwayne asked, walking to where Hiram was sitting. He appeared to be a little pissed.
"That's right, Mom told me what Grandmom used to call you when you were a little boy. She and mom and grandpa would call you Dewey, and it would piss you off. Come on, get mad." Hiram said, grinning.
"Ooh!" This is so funny to us!
"Dewey! Dewey! Dewey!" Maia, Cerisa, Nikki, Yolanda and I start chanting.
"Oh you got jokes now? That's aight, because when I'm done with his ass I'm getting every one of ya'll chicas up there." Dwayne said, pointing to us and Yolanda(who was in the front row a few seats down from Hiram) and then touching his belt buckle.
"Oh! Looks like we've been warned ladies! We're gonna get the belt!" I said out loud, making the others laugh loudly.
"Don't worry, Dewey won't hurt you, will you Dewey?" Hiram said, smirking at Dwayne.
"That's it. Get your ass up, I'm tired of your mouth." Dwayne said, signaling for Hiram to come up front. He started unloosening his tie.
"Get 'em baby!" Nikki yelled down to Hiram.
"I will baby! This is for you!" Hiram said, blowing a kiss to Nikki.
"This ain't time for chit-chatting with ya girlfriend, this is man-to-man combat! Let's go!" Dwayne said, ruffling Hiram's hair.
"Place your bets people, place your bets!" I said, getting up out of my seat and prancing around in the back row, smiling.
"Ya'll better NOT bet on me! Crystal, get down here! I gotta keep you busy. You can be referee. Jules, you come down here and be the look out for me in case a teacher or something comes to the door." Dwayne said, looking up at us.
"He's gotta keep you BUSY! Go make yourself busy for him, girl!" Maia said out loud.
I laughed and met Jules halfway down the steps. We walked down the steps together and walked down to the front of the room, both of us smirking as we assumed our positions. Jules stood by the door and I got up on top of Dwayne's desk and stood with my hands on my hips.
"Get on that desk girl!" Hiram said, smiling and winking at me.
"Hiram!!!" Nikki shouted from the back row.
"Sorry baby! You know I love you!" Hiram said, as not to tread thin ice with his girlfriend.
"Shit, if he can't say it I will.Get on that desk, girl!" Steve Marris said, with all the guys in the class proceeding with cat calls and hollers.
"Ya'll are so dumb!" I said, laughing.
"Hey Crissy, I heard you wanted to go out for cheerleading, is that true?" Matt Simpson asked, smiling.
"Yeah, I am soon. Why?" I asked, smirking.
"Us guys got the perfect cheer for you." Matt said, smiling. I knew what was coming.
"Hey cheerleader?" The guys asked.
"Hey what?" I ask, smiling. I can't believe they're doing THIS cheer!
"Hey cheerleader?" They ask again.
"Hey what?" I ask again.
"Let me see you shake that ass!" All the guys say, loudly.
Dwayne and Hiram burst out laughing as they watch me turn around and shake my ass. I turn back around to face everybody and they guys are giving me a standing ovation! Oh my goodness!
"Hiram, come here man. We can't do this now. I'm done for the rest of the day." Dwayne said, slapping hands with Hiram and still laughing.
"I know, man. Only in your class would something like this happen." Hiram said, laughing.
"Hey Mr. Johnson!"
"Yes, Steve!" Dwayne said, pointing at Steve.
"I think that in addition to Crissy being up there, Maia, Cerisa, Nikki, Yolanda and Jules ALL need to get up on your desk!" Steve said, making all the guys in the class laugh.
"I'm afraid to ask, but why would that be?" Dwayne asked, trying not to laugh.
"They're always talking in class, so their punishment should be to provide the entertainment for the class!" Steve said.
"Yeah!" The guys in the class agreed.
"Oh my God." Dwayne said, shaking his head and covering his face so that we wouldn't see him laughing.
Jules climbs up on the desk next to me, and we watch as the other 4 make their way down to where we were. This has been quite an interesting class period.first, the teacher gets a hard-on and all the girls notice it, and then the 6 of us girls end up on his desk shaking our asses for the rest of the class. Who would've thought?
Maia, Nikki, Cerisa, Jules, Yolanda and I all look at each other and laugh. We're all on top of Dwayne's desk about to engage in some SERIOUS ass- shaking!
"Shit, ya'll could be the whole UM cheerleading squad right there!" This guy named John said out loud, prompting all the guys to start cheering.
"I gotta sit down." Dwayne said, shaking his head and laughing as he walks over to his swivel chair and sits down behind his desk.
"Hey cheerleaders!" The guys ask.
"Hey what?" All 6 of us answer.
"Hey cheerleaders!" The guys ask again.
"Hey what?" We answer again.
"Let me see you shake that ass!" The guys bark loudly, standing up out their chairs. They obviously want themselves a good look at all of us!
Pretty soon, all 6 of us are in total bootylicious mode! The guys are all cheering like crazy, and looking down at Dwayne, he can't even keep a straight face. Yeah, we're shaking our asses and KNOWING they're liking it!
"Man, I would PAY to be Mr. Johnson right now!" Steve said, literally taking his hat off to Dwayne.
"Hey man, shut the hell up!" Dwayne said, laughing.
"What you gotta be ashamed of, man? You can't TELL me the view wasn't nice!" Steve said, continuing on.
"Your ass better shut up right now." Dwayne said, laughing and shaking his head.
"Girls, we better get off Mr. Johnson's desk before he has a nervous breakdown." I say, getting off the desk.
"Aww." The girls all say, playing along.
"Come on!" I say, prompting the girls to get off the desk.
"Mr. Johnson, can I just ask your one more question?"
"What is it Steve?" Dwayne asks, somewhat annoyingly.
"Are you SURE the 6 of them ain't related to J.Lo?" Steve asks, making everyone (even Dwayne) in the class burst out laughing.
"I'm serious! Look at the way they was shaking their asses! I put 2 and 2 together, and that's what I got!" Steve said, shrugging his shoulders.
"I'mma put your ass out before this class is over, I can tell right now." Dwayne said, chuckling to himself.
"Okay, the 6 of you who are apart of J.Lo's Ass Shakers Fan Club can go back to your seat. Show time is over." Dwayne said, in a serious tone.
No he didn't say that! LOL! The girls and I all look at each other and laugh as we walk back to our seats. We knew that from this day forth, noone is gonna let that one go. The class is still laughing from that.I'm telling you, he ain't right! Everyone who goes here is sick in the head, for real! You wanna talk about the freakiest of freaks? You ain't seen NOTHING until you come to UM! Our school logo shows up in the dictionary right next to the word freak! We define it!
"Now, I hope that I won't have to see anything like that ever again." Dwayne started, chuckling as he went to sit on the edge of his desk.
"You just wait! It's the end of summer, and fall's almost here, but still.come the spring time, the 6 J.Lo's will be in full effect, you watch!" Steve said, grinning.
"Steve! Will you SHUT the hell---Oh damn! I forgot about the spring! I'mma be in for it then, huh?" Dwayne asked, looking like he was in thought. This made all of the class burst out laughing once again.
"Well, like Ja Rule says.it must be the ass!!!" Dwayne said, throwing his hands up in surrender and making us laugh once again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I walked up the stairs to my apartment and unlocked the door. Overall, today had been a really good day, wouldn't you say? I just wanna take a nice shower before I hook up with Maia and we go out with the other 4 J.Lo's. LOL!
"Yeah, so I beat the girl's ass. I mean, who does she think she is anyway? Just because she's new she thinks she can go around doing whatever she wants, you know?" I hear Dany say as I approach the door to our room.
I know it's not cool to eavesdrop, but it's rare that she ever fights anyone. I'mma stand right here and keep on listening, because I wanna knot what she's talking about. Ya'll should too, because if I were you I wouldn't wanna miss anything good.
"You know who I'm talking about, girl! The ho that be hanging around with that smut Crystal! I'm telling you, once a smut ALWAYS a smut, you know what I'm saying? (laughs)"
Oh no she didn't! She's NOT talking about me!
"You still don't know who I'm talking about? That new girl Maia or whatever the hell her name is! I beat her ass!"
Oh no! She's been talking about Maia the whole time! Why would Maia lie to me and not tell me that Dany was the one that she fought? Well, it's too late now. I've done had all I can stand.
"Well if YOUR ass is the one laid up here with the black eye, wouldn't you say that YOU'RE the one that got your ass beat, instead of the other way around?!" I ask, pushing the door wide open. I'm beyond pissed right now, let me tell you.
"Margo? Let me call you back." Dany says, looking at me from her bed and closing the flap on her cell phone.
"Your sneaky ass has been listening to my conversation!" Dany said, getting up.
"Yeah well, me and you about to have a problem here. You don't TALK shit about me OR my friends in my fucking apartment, do you understand?!" I say, raising my voice.
"First of all, it's not YOUR apartment! I pay half the rent!" Dany said, raising her voice too.
"When your ass can AFFORD to pay your half, and it's CONVEINENT for you, sure you pay! But how many times have I had to pay the entire month's rent? And by the way, refresh my memory, but who was the one that put a down payment on this place? Who was the one living here first?!" I asked.
"You were, but that don't mean shit." Dany said, rolling her eyes.
"Who was that? Care to repeat that? I don't believe I heard you the first time." I said, putting my hand to my ear.
"You!!!! There, is your ass happy?!!" Dany answered loudly.
"NO! I'm still pissed off at your ass! Who the hell are you to sit here and call people smuts and this that and the other thing? No, as a matter of fact, let me rephrase that. Who the fuck do you think you are?!!!!" I say, getting in Dany's face.
"Listen bitch, don't MAKE me drop you like I did your girl!" Dany said.
"From the looks of it honey, she done more dropping on YOUR ass than you did to her. I mean, let me count how many black eyes I see here.is that 2? Oh, and you got some more marks that I missed on your cheek too!" I said, pointing them out.
"You fucking whore!" Dany yells, slapping me hard in the face.
"Bitch!" I yell, punching her in the face.
Soon we're fighting down and dirty. I'm talking punch down, drag out all the way! Our asses are wrestling on the bed and now we're down to the floor.it's that serious! I'm sorry that ya'll have had to see two fights in one day, but you know what? Today was a good day, for real! But like a wise person I know once said, "You have to go through a lot of rain to see the sunshine."
"That's why your mom didn't want your ass in the first place! She saw she had a spitting image of herself as soon when she kicked your ass out at 13!" Dany yelled.
I stopped fighting her and stood up. She didn't have to go there and bring up my past like that, I mean really. She knows better than anyone that my mom is a tough subject for me, and she done went upset me.
"You can go straight to hell Dany," I said, with tears in my eyes.
"I'll save your ass a seat." Dany said, wiping the blood from her lip.
"Yeah well, I find that hard to believe because as far as I'm concerned, you're to have nothing to do with me ever again. I don't wanna see you, I don't even wanna speak to you. I'm packing my shit and I'm out of here. When your ass is struggling to pay the rent each month, don't come to find me. From now on, your ass is on your own." I said, tears streaming down my face. I was extremely hurt.
"That's quite alright with me, girly! The question is, where's your ass gonna go? You gonna crawl back to your lover man Dwayne? Oh wait, he's a teacher and you're a student and that wouldn't look too good for either of you to the school, now would it? A staff member and an alumnus of the University of Miami sleeping together, and under one roof at that? Oh what the scandal!" Dany said, smirking.
"It's none of your goddamn business where I go! And for your information, he and I aren't together and never will be together! I thought the man was cute, and that was it! The shit is done and over with! It's old now, Dany! So shut the fuck up!" I yelled, with more tears streaming down my face.
"Aww, I hurt the baby's feelings? She gonna go cry to her other smutty friend Maia? That's so sad." Dany said, sounding sympathetic.
Dany's father had given her this glass plate that described the perfect father-daughter relationship, being what the two of them had, and he had given it to her as a token of his love. According to her he gave it to her on the day of her 16th birthday. She's had it ever since, and it's her prized possession. Suddenly it caught my eye.
"Not as sad as this shit right here." I said, taking the plate and throwing it out the window and watches as it cracks into a million pieces once hitting the ground. That felt good, ya'll!
"No!!!!!" Dany yelled, running out the room in tears.
"Now the next time you want to bring up my mother your ass will think twice, won't you?!!!" I yelled, as the tears starting pouring down my face again.
I hear the door slam, which means that Dany left the apartment. I watch as she walks on, probably to go to her sister Margo's more than likely. She always goes over there, like every day. I don't care though. I'm still upset. You know the saying stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me? Whoever the hell made that shit up can kiss my ass and go fuck themselves, because that's a damn lie.
The stupid bitch left her phone here too.oh well, before I head on out I might as well use up some of her minutes. Let me dial Maia's number.
"Hello?" Maia says, answering the phone.
"Maia, there's gonna be a change of plans. Call the other girls and tell them I won't be able to go out tonight." I said, still crying.
"First of all honey, don't call my house crying because I'll start crying. You know I don't like seeing you upset. Now why aren't you able to go out with us?" Maia asked.
"I'm packing my shit up and I'm leaving. I can't take Dany's shit anymore. And why the fuck didn't you tell me you fought her today?" I asked, getting loud.
"You were already stressing out about Dwayne, and the thing with her would only make it worse! Damn, give me a break! I was only looking out for your ass!" Maia said, getting loud too.
"I'm sorry.anyway, we just had a fight and I kicked her ass. She said some shit that wasn't even called for and so I got pissed and threw this plate her dad gave her out the window. Now she's gone, probably over at her sister Margo's. That's who she was talking to when I got in." I said.
"I got a question, okay? You can tell me all the details later, but I just wanna know one thing. Sweetie, where in the hell are you gon' stay?" Maia asked.
"I don't know, but all I know is that---"
"Just as I thought," Maia said, cutting me off. "You don't have nowhere to go. That's it, you're staying with me."
"I can't stay with you, you're not even moved in all the way yourself! And besides, you don't have room for me!" I said.
"The hell I do too! Hush up, girl. Don't you worry about me. And stop your damn crying before I get Dwayne to come over there with his belt and give you something to cry about." Maia said, making me laugh.
"Bitch, you just had to bring him up." I said, laughing.
"I had to make you laugh just one time during the conversation!" Maia said, laughing.
"But seriously, I can't do that Maia." I said.
"Look girl, shut the fuck up. I'm coming over there with Dwayne, and we're gonna do some packing and your ass will be out of there by tonight, you hear me?" Maia said.
"Okay." I say, not putting up any more fuss about it.
"Aight now, that's what I'm talking bout." Maia said, smiling.
"I'll see you in a few." I say, wiping my stray tears.
"Aight Crissy. Don't you go nowhere, because I'm calling Dwayne and we gonna be over there in a minute." Maia said.
"I'm not going nowhere, trust me." I say, hanging up Dany's cell and throwing it on her bed afterward.
~TO BE CONTINUED~
"Hey girl, get up!" Dany said, coming and plopping down on my bed.
"What're you so up and perky for? You're usually dragging in the morning." I said, wiping the sleep from my eyes.
"You know what I say? I say that we skip today." Dany said, sitting up against the wall right next to me.
"Did Dany Garcia just say that she wanted to SKIP? Hell must've frozen over, because you've never skipped in your whole time of being here!" I said, giggling.
"Crissy, I don't feel like going today. And we haven't gotten a chance to hang out at all this week so far. We need to, and today is just the day we can do it. We can take the bus and go up to Coral Gables and shop til' we DROP, girl." Dany said.
"You know what? I think I will skip today. After last night, I don't wanna face Mr. Johnson today. I can't." I said, putting my head down.
"Honey, don't tell me you're STILL tripping off last night. You two just kissed...it's not like you had sex." Dany said, looking at me closely.
"And even though we both agreed that we would just forget it ever happened and stuff, I still can't shake it no matter what I do." I said, ignoring her.
"Did he try and kiss you again when you left?" Dany asked.
"No, we just hugged and said goodbye to each other and that we'd see each other in class." I answered, confused.
"So then everything's cool! Look, I know that you like him and stuff, and I know that you're walking on treacherous ground by acting on your feelings. But he obviously feels something too. He doesn't want to lose his job, and you don't want him to get in trouble or get yourself in trouble for that matter. It's hard, I know. And I'm not so sure that getting involved with your teacher is the best way to go about things, Crissy." Dany said.
"What are you talking about? One minute you talk like you're all for me and what I'm doing, and then the next you talk as if you're against it. Will you tell me what the hell your point is?!" I asked, getting frustrated.
"I've been trying to be supportive of you as much as I can, but hey...I've had enough. You can't do this. I've had all I can stand. But when you get to the point where you go from a regular school girl crush to something more in that you're kissing him and stuff? No...that's not the way to go." Dany said.
"You know what? I don't care what you say. You make it seem like this is- fine. You wanna be like that? I thought you were my best friend." I said, snubbing my nose up at her.
"I AM your best friend. I care for you and because of that, I'm advising you to do something that makes sense. Leave the man alone." Dany said, looking at me.
"Forget you." I said, getting off the bed.
"Why are you being like this?" Dany asked, getting up.
"Because how do you go from completely supporting me to changing your mind in midstream? You can't do that! I came to you and I tried to talk to you about something that was bothering me, and you're telling me to do something that is going to be hard for me to do...in fact, it's impossible!" I said, grabbing the phone to dial Maia's number.
"Hello?" Maia answered, half asleep.
"You feel like skipping with me today?" I asked.
"You're not even gonna go to Dwayne's class?" Maia asked. "No...look, are you game or not? I wanna go to the Wellness Center and chill in the jacuzzi for a little bit. I have to clear my head." I said.
"Oka girl, calm down. You sound pissed off. Did I do something last night? Did I say something?" Maia asked.
"No, it's not you. Look, I'm coming over to your place in the next 5 or 10 minutes or so. I have to get ready. Bring your swim suit for the jacuzzi and some money with you. We're going shopping up in Coconut Grove." I said.
"Okay, see you in a little bit." Maia said, hanging up.
"Oh, so you wanna spend the day with HER because she has the same point of you on your Criminology teacher and I don't?" Dany asked, putting her hands on her hips.
"It's none of your damn business. Look, if you're gonna skip then I guess you're on your own...unless you wanna skip with some of your friends from your Business Management or Finance class. I don't know, and frankly I don't care." I said.
"You know what? Fine. You wanna be a bitch, so I'm not talking to you. When you get some sense, that's when you call me." Dany said, walking out the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You gotta tell me what's wrong, Crissy. For real. You never did tell me what happened when you and Dwayne walked back to his apartment." Maia said, walking with me to the WC.
"We kissed Maia. But it started at your place." I started.
"You did what?! So that's why you two were acting all weird when I came back into the room! Okay! Do tell!" Maia said, smiling. "What had happened was, we had ran into each other, and we was both carrying these heavy boxes of yours. Those slipped out or hands and went crashing to the ground. When me and him bent down to pick up the boxes we were carrying, we leaned in too close apparently, and kissed." I said.
"That's it? Man, that's nothing! You kissed on accident!" Maia said, laughing.
"That's why he asked me to come outside with me, to talk about that. So we start talking and I eventually tell him that I have a crush on him. Cause he wanted to know all of what I told Dany for her to be smiling and saying what she was saying yesterday. I didn't tell him all of the truth, instead I just told him I told her I thought he was cute and that was all. We make it back to his apartment and we're standing outside his door. I'm looking at him, he's looking at me...and the next thing we both know we're kissing. So I break it off, saying I had to go back to your place. So we say goodbye and he goes back in his apartment and I walk away. In midstream I change my mind and decide that I'm gonna go back to his apartment, because it was just silly of me to leave him in the first place. That's when I called you. So afterward I went back to his apartment, he answered the door, I went in and we started talking. I couldn't help myself, so I kissed him. I mean like, passionately. For real. And he asks me if I'm sure I know what I'm getting into and I'm like yeah and he sets me up on his dining room table and starts kissing me. It's getting hot and heavy and whatnot, and then in the middle of kissing me, he just stops. He says we shouldn't be doing what we were doing and all that. So we agree to act like it never happened. So I left after that. And then when I told Dany the story this morning she wants to go off on some trip about how I'm wrong for wanting to be with him anyway and that I should, I quote, 'Leave the man alone' and all that. That's why when I called you this morning that I sounded like I did. Up until now she's been supportive and stuff, but because we kissed now, she makes it sound like it's my fault. So we're not talking." I said, finally having explained myself. "Damn girly! Why didn't you call me up when you got back last night and told me what happened with him?" Maia asked, opening up the door to the WC for me.
"I don't know. And it's been troubling me all night. When I woke up, it was like it wouldn't leave my mind. I'm afraid of how to feel when I'm around him now. Things are just weird, and I feel like things are my fault, though he says they're his." I said, waving to Eileen afterward and heading with Maia upstairs to the women's locker room.
"Sweetie, I don't know what to say. I KNEW something was up when you didn't come back...I just wasn't sure of what." Maia said, changing into her swimsuit.
I was already changed into my swimsuit, it was just that I had a shirt and pants over it. All I had to do was take those off. Oh stuff! Maia and me have on matching black bikini swimsuits!
"We're twins!" Maia said, pointing at me and then herself.
"So we are!" I said, laughing. How odd is that?
"You got your towel?" Maia asked, looking at me.
"You got yours?" I asked, looking at her.
"Yeah." We both answered, then laughed.
"So, do you come up here everyday?" Maia asked as we made our way to the jacuzzi room.
"Every morning I come up here at this time just to clear my head. If something is on my mind, sitting in the jacuzzi until I'm wrinkled helps." I said, laughing.
"Until you're WRINKLED? Girl, you crazy." Maia said, as we walked into the room. "I'm not crazy! You just haven't LIVED until you try it like this every morning!" I said, not paying attention enough to see that Dwayne was in the jacuzzi right in front of me. Maia had all her attention on me as I was talking, so I doubt she knew either.
Maia and I took our towels off and turned around only to be face to face with Dwayne. He looked up at us and smiled.
"Morning Ladies." He said.
Maia and I looked at each other, and our jaw just dropped. After the night that I had, he's the last person I want to see now. I'm so confused and don't know what to do.
"Well, are you gonna get in or just stand there and look at each other like you're insane?" Dwayne asked, laughing afterward.
"Maybe he HAS forgotten after all." I whispered to Maia as we both got in the jacuzzi.
"Why so quiet this morning?" Dwayne asked, with his eyes locked on both of us.
"Couldn't sleep." Maia and I both said, simultaneously.
"Really? Why? I slept like a baby last night." Dwayne said.
"I had a lot of things on my mind...what about you, Maia?" I said, looking at Maia.
"I have to get accustomed to staying on a new campus, I get." Maia said, shrugging her shoulders.
"You introducing Maia to your daily ritual, I see." Dwayne said, chuckling to himself.
"Actually, I just got in an argument with my friend Dany, so I called Maia up to come with me. I figured we could talk a little bit of girl talk." I said, looking at him.
"Why were you and your friend fighting?" Dwayne asked, sounding concerned.
"Oh, you know how it is with girls...we got into an argument over a GUY and we're not talking." I said, glaring at him.
"Oh I know how that is...my cousin and her best friend used to fight all the time about guys in college. Even now they find themselves arguing about some guy...it's the same thing all the time." Dwayne said, laughing.
"Yeah..." I said, laughing and pretending to be interested.
"I'll be right back, guys. I have to go find something to eat before I DIE!" Maia said, laughing and then getting out the jacuzzi to leave the room in search of some food.
"I know you're feeling uncomfortable about last night." Dwayne said, coming over to my side of the jacuzzi.
"Really? I thought you wouldn't have noticed." I said dryly.
"Honey, listen to me." Dwayne started, putting his hands on my shoulders and facing me towards him.
"What do you want me to do? I'm confused and I don't know what to feel around you anymore. You yourself said that this isn't a good idea. And even though we agreed that we were going to forget like last night didn't happen, I can't." I said.
"I can't either. I lied when I said I slept like a baby...I couldn't stop thinking about you all night. I didn't get a wink of sleep." Dwayne said, looking at me.
"So then what do we do? I want this, really I do, you could lose your job, I could get expelled, and then that's the end of me getting my degree to go into Law. And you...this could hurt you so bad. You were a former lawyer of the state, and a good one at that because you were known by hundreds of people...I don't know. I really don't know what to think." I said, looking down at the bubbling water.
"Just go with it. There's nothing for you to worry about, okay? I got you, honey. I got you." Dwayne said, leaning in to kiss me.
I started to resist at first, but it was only a matter of time before I surrendered. This man's got a power over me that I swear can't be matched by anyone else. Only 4 days into knowing him, and I want him. This is the quickest I've ever fallen for a guy...a man for that matter. Rest assure, I don't DO this kinda thing with every guy I meet, people.
He's coming around so that he has me up against the wall of the jacuzzi. We're still kissing, and I'm really gettin into it now.
"You sure you wanna do this?" I asked, in the midst of trying to catch my breath.
"Yes. I don't know what I was thinking of last night." Dwayne said, lookin into my eyes.
"I don't know what you were thinking of either..." I said, kissing him and running my hands all over his back as he started kissing my neck.
It's been about 20 minutes, and things are starting to get hot and heavy now. Suddenly I hear the door open and in walking comes Maia all fired up.
"Girl, let me TELL you-"
She stops as soon as she sees what's going on in front of her. She gives me the thumbs up and mouths "You go girl" before turning back around and walking out the room. She is so dumb!
"You know, what if someone else walks in? This IS a facility that other people come to use too, you know." I said, smirking at Dwayne.
"So what?" Dwayne asked, kissing me afterward.
"Um, hold up. We can't let anyone know about this." I said, stopping him.
"You don't think I know that already?" Dwayne asked, backing up.
"I didn't mean to make it sound like that, but we DO have to keep quiet about this." I said.
"I completely understand. I won't say a word, I promise." Dwayne said, putting his right hand across his chest.
"Okay. I promise I won't tell either." I said, repeating what Dwayne had done earlier and then leaned in to kiss him.
~*~Meanwhile.~*~
"Look, I know I don't know you and how you and Crystal's friendship works, but I know that I'm cool with her and she's my friend too, and I ain't gonna be tolerating you talking about my girl like that." Maia said.
"I can say whatever the hell I want, because as far as I know, I don't associate myself with ho's. Too bad so sad for her, huh? You should get out too, while you got a chance." Dany said, laughing.
"Look Dany, I'm telling you not to talk about my girl like that." Maia said, getting in Dany's face.
"Well it's not like you're gonna DO (push) anything about it anyway, so why keep wasting your breath on a smut like her?" Dany asked.
"That's IT, bitch!" Maia said, raising her voice.
Pretty soon the two women start fighting in the women's locker room of the Wellness Center. Dany pulls Maia's hair and to retaliate Maia knocks Dany to the ground. The fighting only gets worse as Maia is soon on top of Dany, choking her. Dany punches Maia hard in the lip, sending Maia off of her. Maia touches her lip to see that it's bleeding a bit too much and looks at Dany.
"I'm bleeding? Oh NO you DIDN'T!" Maia yelled, charging towards Dany.
~*~But anyway, back to where we left off~*~
"Damn Dwayne."
You guys have come right in the middle of something! I don't know where you just wandered off to, but while you were gone Dwayne and I got tired of just talking. LOL! He's got me backed up against the wall of the jacuzzi and kissing my neck while his right hand is making its way down the front of my bikini bottom. Why the hell have I deprived myself of this when I could've had it just LAST night?! Please tell me what I was thinking, cause I sure as hell don't know!!!
"What're you gonna do should Maia come in?" Dwayne asked, feeling on me.
"I don't know and don't quite frankly give a damn.." I said, arching my back a little.
"Shit, sorry I asked." Dwayne said, chuckling and going to untie my bikini top.
"We better take this somewhere else in case somebody other than Maia walks in." I said, stopping Dwayne.
"Where you wanna take this at, Judge?" I asked, getting out the jacuzzi and fixing my bathing suit (even though it was just going to end up off of me later).
Dwayne gets out of the jacuzzi and comes up from behind me, later slapping my ass.
"I think this needs to proceed in the shower, Counselor." He answers, taking my hand and leading me out of the room as we make our way to the men's locker room.
~*~Meanwhile.~*~
"I don't believe this shit!" Maia says, peering into the mirror in the women's locker room and examining her face.
Cuts bombarded her neck and right cheek, and her bottom lip was starting to swell. She had to admit though, she wasn't as bad as how she left Dany. Dany had a black eye and all of that and more. She couldn't tell Crystal about fighting Dany, because it would only make her feel worse.
Maia picked up the bottle of alcohol she'd gotten from downstairs and took a wash cloth and started to clean her face up of the dried blood that was there. It stung, but oh well.
It seemed like everywhere she went she ended up having to fight for her friends. Maia couldn't go anywhere without avoiding something like that from happening. But, there was one difference from this fight over one of her friends and all the other ones. Maia knew that Crystal would do the same for her any day of the week. They've only known each other for a few days, but the two of them had grown extremely close in that time. Maia thought that was a small reason as to why Dany was being so bitchy lately, out of jealousy. Still, that wouldn't bother Maia. She just kicked Dany's ass, so what's there to worry about?
This time alone sure was giving her time to think. Crystal and Dwayne's secret relationship was cute, she thought. Maia wasn't jealous by any means, but she often wondered what it would be like if it were her instead of Crystal. She thought Dwayne was cute too, as probably do hundreds of girls that attend UM in addition to her and Crystal. And Crystal knows Maia's feelings for him, and it doesn't bother her one bit. So everything's cool.
~*~But anyway, back to where we left off~*~
"Damn! Every time we want to do something, we get interrupted!" Dwayne said in my ear.
I don't know what it is with you guys and your taking off, but Dwayne and I were just trying to spend some "quality time" in one of the shower stalls, and that's when a whole bunch of other guys decide that's when they wanna take a shower! All the other stalls are filled, so there's no way in hell we can do this here. Fuck!
Dwayne peeks from behind the shower curtain and out the shower stall and sees that no guys are wandering around in the open. He turns to me and grabs my hand.
"The coast is clear," he says as we walk out the stall and into the main area of the locker room where the lockers are.
"Look, I have to go find Maia. I'll see you in class later." I say, kissing Dwayne on the lips.
"Okay honey, I'll see you later." Dwayne says, kissing me back and then smacking me on my ass as I go to leave the room.
I shut the door behind me, and now am out in the middle of the hallway. Okay, I know I said I was going to skip today and not go to any classes INCLUDING his, but hey.would you deny yourself THAT, even for an hour? (That's how long the class is) I think not! I need to get out of this swim suit, I know that! Let me go in here in the women's locker room and change.
I walk in and see Maia, who seems to be dressing these cuts on her face. What is wrong now? When I saw her earlier, she didn't have any cuts or anything on her.
"Maia, where the hell have you been?" I asked, shutting the door behind me.
"I went to go get something to eat, I told you that." Maia said, looking at me.
"Honey, going to get something to eat is one thing, but ending up with a fat and bloody lip is another. Now tell me what happened, and let me do this." I say, taking the bottle of alcohol and washcloth from her.
"I got in a fight with this dumb bitch who wanted to get smart, so I fucked her ass up." Maia said.
"Well who was this girl? Do I know her?" I asked, wiping the blood from her lip.
"No, you don't know her." Maia said, lying.
"But anyway, what happened with you and Mr. Sexy?" Maia asked, changing the subject and smiling.
"We just made out for the most part, and agreed to keep our relationship under wraps. You, me and him are the only ones that are to know about this." I started, looking at Maia in a serious manner.
"Girl, I got your back. My ass is silent, I don't know a damn thing." Maia said, smiling.
"Every time we tried to do something, we got interrupted! Like, we were gonna do something in the jacuzzi, but if anyone other than you came in there, it would've been hell. So we left and went into the men's locker room to attempt to do something in one of the shower stalls. As soon as we get in there, that's when a whole bunch of guys decide they wanna take a shower. So all the stalls were filled up with guys showering and talking and laughing and all that shit, so needless to say, we didn't get it on THERE, either." I said, shaking my head. Maia laughed.
"So what now?" Maia asked.
"I told him I would see him in class." I said, looking innocently at Maia. I knew what was coming.
"You said you was gonna skip and not go to ANY of your classes today girl! What's that about?!" Maia said, disappointed.
"And that was the original plan, I KNOW, but can you blame me? Ask yourself this question. Could you go one hour without Dwayne either?" I asked, chuckling.
"Okay, I see your point." Maia said, smiling and playfully pushing me.
"Okay, we're almost done." I said, getting almost all of the blood from Maia's lip.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Pop Quiz!!!" Dwayne yelled with a smile.
All of us in the class groan, because we are really dreading this. This is only the 4th day, and I don't believe he's getting pop quiz-happy already!
"Hey, check out Mr. Johnson's khaki's today." Nikki says, whispering in my ear and then giggling afterward.
His khaki's looked pretty good on him today, actually. And oh my goodness, he's looking at me! He's standing at his desk and holding the pile of quizzes in his hand that he's about to hand out, and.ooh!!! I think Dwayne's thinking certain things he's not supposed to, cause um.let's just say it's pretty evident!
"Hard-on at 12-o'-clock!" Nikki, Cerisa, Maia and I all say amongst ourselves at the same time and then laugh hysterically.
I don't think he heard us, because he's passing out papers and I think him and Hiram are starting one of their family debates again.those two are some clowns, for real. Pretty soon Dwayne is up to Maia's row, and she's trying so hard to keep a straight face. But she's the first one to start the row off, and he's standing right next to her, and.if she wanted, she could get an up-close look at Dwayne's hard on! It's right there, just in her face!
"Now that's what I call up close and personal!" Nikki says out loud, making me and Maia and Cerisa start laughing hysterically.
Maia and I looked at each other, and then put our heads down so that he couldn't see our faces. I'm telling you, every day is a comedy scene in here! You might as well call it the Dwayne Johnson Comedy Hour, cause between some of the off-the-wall things he be doing (or saying for that matter) and the way we as a class just be acting straight out foolish.it's just hilarious! Oh wait, I got be quiet because he's coming to my row now!
"You okay?" Dwayne asks, looking down at me as I bring my face up and wipe the tears of laughter from my face. Don't look down, Crystal.don't look down..
"Yeah, I'm just fine. How about you?" I ask, attempting to keep a straight face. Nikki's over here whispering some funny shit in my ear and I'm about to burst any minute!
"I'm good. You think you're gonna ace this quiz?" Dwayne asked, giving me the tests to hand down the row.
"Um.I don't know actually. I guess I should be pretty confident." I say, and then out of nowhere accidentally drop the test papers.
"Good job, Crystal. Good job!" Nikki and Cerisa say, cracking up.
"Fuck both of you!" I say, gritting my teeth as I lean over to get the quizzes off the floor.
"Let me help you." Dwayne says, crouching on the floor to help me pick up the quizzes.
"Hey Cerisa.it's a nice day to go play some BALL, huh?" Nikki asks out loud, sending all the girls in the class into a fit of laughter.
"Hey people, now this is a damn pop quiz! That means no talking! If I see your mouth moving, you're talking, and you automatically get your paper ripped up and thrown in the trash.in simpler terms, you get a zero. Now keep playing with me and watch what happens." Dwayne warns, walking down the steps and glaring across the rows at us.
Dwayne hands me the quizzes and I take mine and pass them back to the others in the row. Dwayne looks from me to Nikki to Cerisa to Maia suspiciously and shakes his head, chuckling to himself.
So we behave while taking the quizzes, and after we're all finished he comes up row by row and collects them. His hard-on is gone now, but I have a feeling that as soon as he makes his way up to Maia's and then my row, somebody is gonna say something.
He's walking up to Maia's row now to collect the quizzes. Maia turns around to Nikki and smiles. Oh no, here it comes.see, I told you guys someone was gonna say something!
"Hey Nikki, I don't think it would be such a good idea for you to play BALL anymore, don't you think so?" Maia says out loud, sending Nikki into a fit of laughter.
"I agree, Maia. It's too bad too, because I was thinking that we could play on teams. You and Crystal could be on one side, and me and Cerisa could be on the other when we play with the BALL. That would be a nice game, don't you think Mr. Johnson?" Nikki says, turning to face Dwayne.
"Yeah." He says, not knowing a damn thing about what we're talking about. He's giving us this weird look, and it's making us laugh even more!
"Hey, I have an idea.why don't you play ball with us, Dwayne?" Cerisa asks, grinning.
"Shut up you guys! Dwayne, don't answer that." I say, trying to stop him from getting into something he couldn't get himself out of.
"Why Crystal? I think playing ball with you guys would be fun." Dwayne said, laughing. He knew what we were talking about! Oh shit!
Nikki, Cerisa and Maia all have their heads down on the desk, laughing. I started laughing hysterically, just as they were. See what I have to deal with? These chicas are just too much sometimes! And THIS guy.Dwayne is a dumb ass! He's gonna stand there and say something like that, knowing what we're talking about the whole time!
"Aight ladies, calm down. I don't wanna have to take my belt off." Dwayne said, touching his belt and looking at each of us, singling us out.
Maia turns around and gives me this look. I had forgotten about our thing with the belt, but now she's making me remember again! Oh no! Here I go again with the giggles!
"You better shut up, girl. He's giving you the eye! Look! He's raising that eyebrow, so you know what that means!" Nikki whispers to me, giggling.
"Did you just hear me, Counselor? I know you didn't think I was just playing." Dwayne said, starting to unbuckle his belt.
"Oooh!" The class says, starting to laugh.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" I said, laughing.
"That's what you better say." Dwayne says, winking at me and then smiling as he starts to buckle his belt while walking down the steps.
"You was really bout to give it to her, huh?" Hiram asked, grinning at his uncle.
"I'll give it to YOU in a minute, if you don't hush up, boy. I know you don't want me to take you back in the day when I used to put a hurtin' on that ass whenever you decided you wanted to act up." Dwayne said, smiling. The Johnson family debate has now began!
"Oooh!" That's us again.
"Oh, so you wanna be a big man, bringing up the past, huh DEWEY?" Hiram asked, smiling at Dwayne.
"What'd you just call me?" Dwayne asked, walking to where Hiram was sitting. He appeared to be a little pissed.
"That's right, Mom told me what Grandmom used to call you when you were a little boy. She and mom and grandpa would call you Dewey, and it would piss you off. Come on, get mad." Hiram said, grinning.
"Ooh!" This is so funny to us!
"Dewey! Dewey! Dewey!" Maia, Cerisa, Nikki, Yolanda and I start chanting.
"Oh you got jokes now? That's aight, because when I'm done with his ass I'm getting every one of ya'll chicas up there." Dwayne said, pointing to us and Yolanda(who was in the front row a few seats down from Hiram) and then touching his belt buckle.
"Oh! Looks like we've been warned ladies! We're gonna get the belt!" I said out loud, making the others laugh loudly.
"Don't worry, Dewey won't hurt you, will you Dewey?" Hiram said, smirking at Dwayne.
"That's it. Get your ass up, I'm tired of your mouth." Dwayne said, signaling for Hiram to come up front. He started unloosening his tie.
"Get 'em baby!" Nikki yelled down to Hiram.
"I will baby! This is for you!" Hiram said, blowing a kiss to Nikki.
"This ain't time for chit-chatting with ya girlfriend, this is man-to-man combat! Let's go!" Dwayne said, ruffling Hiram's hair.
"Place your bets people, place your bets!" I said, getting up out of my seat and prancing around in the back row, smiling.
"Ya'll better NOT bet on me! Crystal, get down here! I gotta keep you busy. You can be referee. Jules, you come down here and be the look out for me in case a teacher or something comes to the door." Dwayne said, looking up at us.
"He's gotta keep you BUSY! Go make yourself busy for him, girl!" Maia said out loud.
I laughed and met Jules halfway down the steps. We walked down the steps together and walked down to the front of the room, both of us smirking as we assumed our positions. Jules stood by the door and I got up on top of Dwayne's desk and stood with my hands on my hips.
"Get on that desk girl!" Hiram said, smiling and winking at me.
"Hiram!!!" Nikki shouted from the back row.
"Sorry baby! You know I love you!" Hiram said, as not to tread thin ice with his girlfriend.
"Shit, if he can't say it I will.Get on that desk, girl!" Steve Marris said, with all the guys in the class proceeding with cat calls and hollers.
"Ya'll are so dumb!" I said, laughing.
"Hey Crissy, I heard you wanted to go out for cheerleading, is that true?" Matt Simpson asked, smiling.
"Yeah, I am soon. Why?" I asked, smirking.
"Us guys got the perfect cheer for you." Matt said, smiling. I knew what was coming.
"Hey cheerleader?" The guys asked.
"Hey what?" I ask, smiling. I can't believe they're doing THIS cheer!
"Hey cheerleader?" They ask again.
"Hey what?" I ask again.
"Let me see you shake that ass!" All the guys say, loudly.
Dwayne and Hiram burst out laughing as they watch me turn around and shake my ass. I turn back around to face everybody and they guys are giving me a standing ovation! Oh my goodness!
"Hiram, come here man. We can't do this now. I'm done for the rest of the day." Dwayne said, slapping hands with Hiram and still laughing.
"I know, man. Only in your class would something like this happen." Hiram said, laughing.
"Hey Mr. Johnson!"
"Yes, Steve!" Dwayne said, pointing at Steve.
"I think that in addition to Crissy being up there, Maia, Cerisa, Nikki, Yolanda and Jules ALL need to get up on your desk!" Steve said, making all the guys in the class laugh.
"I'm afraid to ask, but why would that be?" Dwayne asked, trying not to laugh.
"They're always talking in class, so their punishment should be to provide the entertainment for the class!" Steve said.
"Yeah!" The guys in the class agreed.
"Oh my God." Dwayne said, shaking his head and covering his face so that we wouldn't see him laughing.
Jules climbs up on the desk next to me, and we watch as the other 4 make their way down to where we were. This has been quite an interesting class period.first, the teacher gets a hard-on and all the girls notice it, and then the 6 of us girls end up on his desk shaking our asses for the rest of the class. Who would've thought?
Maia, Nikki, Cerisa, Jules, Yolanda and I all look at each other and laugh. We're all on top of Dwayne's desk about to engage in some SERIOUS ass- shaking!
"Shit, ya'll could be the whole UM cheerleading squad right there!" This guy named John said out loud, prompting all the guys to start cheering.
"I gotta sit down." Dwayne said, shaking his head and laughing as he walks over to his swivel chair and sits down behind his desk.
"Hey cheerleaders!" The guys ask.
"Hey what?" All 6 of us answer.
"Hey cheerleaders!" The guys ask again.
"Hey what?" We answer again.
"Let me see you shake that ass!" The guys bark loudly, standing up out their chairs. They obviously want themselves a good look at all of us!
Pretty soon, all 6 of us are in total bootylicious mode! The guys are all cheering like crazy, and looking down at Dwayne, he can't even keep a straight face. Yeah, we're shaking our asses and KNOWING they're liking it!
"Man, I would PAY to be Mr. Johnson right now!" Steve said, literally taking his hat off to Dwayne.
"Hey man, shut the hell up!" Dwayne said, laughing.
"What you gotta be ashamed of, man? You can't TELL me the view wasn't nice!" Steve said, continuing on.
"Your ass better shut up right now." Dwayne said, laughing and shaking his head.
"Girls, we better get off Mr. Johnson's desk before he has a nervous breakdown." I say, getting off the desk.
"Aww." The girls all say, playing along.
"Come on!" I say, prompting the girls to get off the desk.
"Mr. Johnson, can I just ask your one more question?"
"What is it Steve?" Dwayne asks, somewhat annoyingly.
"Are you SURE the 6 of them ain't related to J.Lo?" Steve asks, making everyone (even Dwayne) in the class burst out laughing.
"I'm serious! Look at the way they was shaking their asses! I put 2 and 2 together, and that's what I got!" Steve said, shrugging his shoulders.
"I'mma put your ass out before this class is over, I can tell right now." Dwayne said, chuckling to himself.
"Okay, the 6 of you who are apart of J.Lo's Ass Shakers Fan Club can go back to your seat. Show time is over." Dwayne said, in a serious tone.
No he didn't say that! LOL! The girls and I all look at each other and laugh as we walk back to our seats. We knew that from this day forth, noone is gonna let that one go. The class is still laughing from that.I'm telling you, he ain't right! Everyone who goes here is sick in the head, for real! You wanna talk about the freakiest of freaks? You ain't seen NOTHING until you come to UM! Our school logo shows up in the dictionary right next to the word freak! We define it!
"Now, I hope that I won't have to see anything like that ever again." Dwayne started, chuckling as he went to sit on the edge of his desk.
"You just wait! It's the end of summer, and fall's almost here, but still.come the spring time, the 6 J.Lo's will be in full effect, you watch!" Steve said, grinning.
"Steve! Will you SHUT the hell---Oh damn! I forgot about the spring! I'mma be in for it then, huh?" Dwayne asked, looking like he was in thought. This made all of the class burst out laughing once again.
"Well, like Ja Rule says.it must be the ass!!!" Dwayne said, throwing his hands up in surrender and making us laugh once again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I walked up the stairs to my apartment and unlocked the door. Overall, today had been a really good day, wouldn't you say? I just wanna take a nice shower before I hook up with Maia and we go out with the other 4 J.Lo's. LOL!
"Yeah, so I beat the girl's ass. I mean, who does she think she is anyway? Just because she's new she thinks she can go around doing whatever she wants, you know?" I hear Dany say as I approach the door to our room.
I know it's not cool to eavesdrop, but it's rare that she ever fights anyone. I'mma stand right here and keep on listening, because I wanna knot what she's talking about. Ya'll should too, because if I were you I wouldn't wanna miss anything good.
"You know who I'm talking about, girl! The ho that be hanging around with that smut Crystal! I'm telling you, once a smut ALWAYS a smut, you know what I'm saying? (laughs)"
Oh no she didn't! She's NOT talking about me!
"You still don't know who I'm talking about? That new girl Maia or whatever the hell her name is! I beat her ass!"
Oh no! She's been talking about Maia the whole time! Why would Maia lie to me and not tell me that Dany was the one that she fought? Well, it's too late now. I've done had all I can stand.
"Well if YOUR ass is the one laid up here with the black eye, wouldn't you say that YOU'RE the one that got your ass beat, instead of the other way around?!" I ask, pushing the door wide open. I'm beyond pissed right now, let me tell you.
"Margo? Let me call you back." Dany says, looking at me from her bed and closing the flap on her cell phone.
"Your sneaky ass has been listening to my conversation!" Dany said, getting up.
"Yeah well, me and you about to have a problem here. You don't TALK shit about me OR my friends in my fucking apartment, do you understand?!" I say, raising my voice.
"First of all, it's not YOUR apartment! I pay half the rent!" Dany said, raising her voice too.
"When your ass can AFFORD to pay your half, and it's CONVEINENT for you, sure you pay! But how many times have I had to pay the entire month's rent? And by the way, refresh my memory, but who was the one that put a down payment on this place? Who was the one living here first?!" I asked.
"You were, but that don't mean shit." Dany said, rolling her eyes.
"Who was that? Care to repeat that? I don't believe I heard you the first time." I said, putting my hand to my ear.
"You!!!! There, is your ass happy?!!" Dany answered loudly.
"NO! I'm still pissed off at your ass! Who the hell are you to sit here and call people smuts and this that and the other thing? No, as a matter of fact, let me rephrase that. Who the fuck do you think you are?!!!!" I say, getting in Dany's face.
"Listen bitch, don't MAKE me drop you like I did your girl!" Dany said.
"From the looks of it honey, she done more dropping on YOUR ass than you did to her. I mean, let me count how many black eyes I see here.is that 2? Oh, and you got some more marks that I missed on your cheek too!" I said, pointing them out.
"You fucking whore!" Dany yells, slapping me hard in the face.
"Bitch!" I yell, punching her in the face.
Soon we're fighting down and dirty. I'm talking punch down, drag out all the way! Our asses are wrestling on the bed and now we're down to the floor.it's that serious! I'm sorry that ya'll have had to see two fights in one day, but you know what? Today was a good day, for real! But like a wise person I know once said, "You have to go through a lot of rain to see the sunshine."
"That's why your mom didn't want your ass in the first place! She saw she had a spitting image of herself as soon when she kicked your ass out at 13!" Dany yelled.
I stopped fighting her and stood up. She didn't have to go there and bring up my past like that, I mean really. She knows better than anyone that my mom is a tough subject for me, and she done went upset me.
"You can go straight to hell Dany," I said, with tears in my eyes.
"I'll save your ass a seat." Dany said, wiping the blood from her lip.
"Yeah well, I find that hard to believe because as far as I'm concerned, you're to have nothing to do with me ever again. I don't wanna see you, I don't even wanna speak to you. I'm packing my shit and I'm out of here. When your ass is struggling to pay the rent each month, don't come to find me. From now on, your ass is on your own." I said, tears streaming down my face. I was extremely hurt.
"That's quite alright with me, girly! The question is, where's your ass gonna go? You gonna crawl back to your lover man Dwayne? Oh wait, he's a teacher and you're a student and that wouldn't look too good for either of you to the school, now would it? A staff member and an alumnus of the University of Miami sleeping together, and under one roof at that? Oh what the scandal!" Dany said, smirking.
"It's none of your goddamn business where I go! And for your information, he and I aren't together and never will be together! I thought the man was cute, and that was it! The shit is done and over with! It's old now, Dany! So shut the fuck up!" I yelled, with more tears streaming down my face.
"Aww, I hurt the baby's feelings? She gonna go cry to her other smutty friend Maia? That's so sad." Dany said, sounding sympathetic.
Dany's father had given her this glass plate that described the perfect father-daughter relationship, being what the two of them had, and he had given it to her as a token of his love. According to her he gave it to her on the day of her 16th birthday. She's had it ever since, and it's her prized possession. Suddenly it caught my eye.
"Not as sad as this shit right here." I said, taking the plate and throwing it out the window and watches as it cracks into a million pieces once hitting the ground. That felt good, ya'll!
"No!!!!!" Dany yelled, running out the room in tears.
"Now the next time you want to bring up my mother your ass will think twice, won't you?!!!" I yelled, as the tears starting pouring down my face again.
I hear the door slam, which means that Dany left the apartment. I watch as she walks on, probably to go to her sister Margo's more than likely. She always goes over there, like every day. I don't care though. I'm still upset. You know the saying stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me? Whoever the hell made that shit up can kiss my ass and go fuck themselves, because that's a damn lie.
The stupid bitch left her phone here too.oh well, before I head on out I might as well use up some of her minutes. Let me dial Maia's number.
"Hello?" Maia says, answering the phone.
"Maia, there's gonna be a change of plans. Call the other girls and tell them I won't be able to go out tonight." I said, still crying.
"First of all honey, don't call my house crying because I'll start crying. You know I don't like seeing you upset. Now why aren't you able to go out with us?" Maia asked.
"I'm packing my shit up and I'm leaving. I can't take Dany's shit anymore. And why the fuck didn't you tell me you fought her today?" I asked, getting loud.
"You were already stressing out about Dwayne, and the thing with her would only make it worse! Damn, give me a break! I was only looking out for your ass!" Maia said, getting loud too.
"I'm sorry.anyway, we just had a fight and I kicked her ass. She said some shit that wasn't even called for and so I got pissed and threw this plate her dad gave her out the window. Now she's gone, probably over at her sister Margo's. That's who she was talking to when I got in." I said.
"I got a question, okay? You can tell me all the details later, but I just wanna know one thing. Sweetie, where in the hell are you gon' stay?" Maia asked.
"I don't know, but all I know is that---"
"Just as I thought," Maia said, cutting me off. "You don't have nowhere to go. That's it, you're staying with me."
"I can't stay with you, you're not even moved in all the way yourself! And besides, you don't have room for me!" I said.
"The hell I do too! Hush up, girl. Don't you worry about me. And stop your damn crying before I get Dwayne to come over there with his belt and give you something to cry about." Maia said, making me laugh.
"Bitch, you just had to bring him up." I said, laughing.
"I had to make you laugh just one time during the conversation!" Maia said, laughing.
"But seriously, I can't do that Maia." I said.
"Look girl, shut the fuck up. I'm coming over there with Dwayne, and we're gonna do some packing and your ass will be out of there by tonight, you hear me?" Maia said.
"Okay." I say, not putting up any more fuss about it.
"Aight now, that's what I'm talking bout." Maia said, smiling.
"I'll see you in a few." I say, wiping my stray tears.
"Aight Crissy. Don't you go nowhere, because I'm calling Dwayne and we gonna be over there in a minute." Maia said.
"I'm not going nowhere, trust me." I say, hanging up Dany's cell and throwing it on her bed afterward.
~TO BE CONTINUED~
