Loving Angel (9 page)

My
ringing cellphone awoke me the next morning. Tyga’s place in bed was empty. The clock on the bedside table read eight a.m. which meant he was currently at the gym. I grabbed my phone off the charger and checked to see who was calling me so early when everyone knew I loved sleeping in. It was my girl Daisy so I went ahead and answered it.

“
What’s up Cuz?” I greeted.

“
Sorry for the wakeup call but I need someone to talk to,” she apologized.

“
Don’t worry; it was time for my ass to be out of bed anyway. What’s on your mind?” I yawned and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

“
Delco and I have been seeing each other on the low since your birthday party,” she announced.

“
Get outa here!” I exclaimed, shooting up into a sitting position at the unexpected news. My girl had been with her no good baby daddy for five years and she didn’t so much as look at another nigga in all that time. She always said although she knew he was running the streets she loved him too much to do the same. That nigga had her head so fucked up he could do her any type of dirty and she wouldn’t leave him. So to say I was happy it seemed she was getting out from under his thumb was an understatement. “Girl, you better fill me in on 4-1-1. How is the dick?”

“
I knew that was going to be the first thing you asked,” she chuckled. “Homeboy knows how to put it down.”

“
You know they say birds of a feather flock together and since my bay’s dick game is on point I knew his best friend had to be taking care of business too.”

“
That nigga fucked up my back last night.” She giggled.

“
Damn girl, that’s what’s up. I’m glad you’re getting some. It was long overdue.”

“
I know right. I’m so over sitting around waiting for a nigga to give me some of his time. Carter doesn’t even care anymore that I know he’s doing me dirty. He doesn’t come home for days and when I asked him where he spends his time he tells me it’s none of my business. So I was at your party chilling with Delco and I was looking at homeboy and thinking damn he fine. I could see the looks he was giving me, like he would like to get some of my goodies. My man doesn’t want it, we haven’t fucked in over six months, so I was like why not give it to a nigga that does.”

“
Carter made it mad easy for you to step out on him. He’s never home so he doesn’t have a clue what you’re doing. So what are you gonna do? Are you planning on leaving his ass and being with Delco or just keep doing you?” I questioned.

“
I really don’t know. Delco’s dick is mad good and I have fun when I’m with him, but Carter and I’ve been together for five years and have a baby together. Although he hurt me more times than I can count I still love him,” she explained. “Plus I don’t know if Delco is looking for a relationship or just a fuck buddy. I guess I’m gonna keep things as they are for now, but I don’t know what’s gonna happen in the future.”

“
I understand girl. Trust me. You know I’m here for you whatever decision you make.”

“
Thanks cuz,” she replied. “I know I can always count on you. Anyway, my baby girl is crying so I’m gonna go take care of her. I’ll give you a call later.”

“
Give my god baby a kiss for me; later chica.” I ended the call.

I
took a quick shower and then went to the fridge to see about some breakfast. I knew my man was about to be home in a minute, so I decided on preparing us some eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes. I was removing the sausages from the frying pan and adding the bacon when he walked into the kitchen, slapped me on the ass and stole one of the sausages.

“
Go take your shower, by the time you’re done breakfast will be ready,” I ordered.

“
You love taking care of your man don’t you Sexy,” he teased, kissing my neck and slapping my ass again before he left to take his shower.

As promised, the food was ready when he got
back. He took a seat at the kitchen counter and I placed a loaded plate and a glass of orange juice before him.

“
This looks good ma,” he complimented, giving me a quick kiss on the lips before digging in. “Taste good too.”

“
Thanks bay,” I smiled. A sister knew how to take care of her man both in and out of the bedroom. Whenever I stayed at his crib, which was about four to five days per week, I made sure my bay had something to eat when he got home from the gym and kept his loft spotless.

I
made myself a plate and took a seat beside him.

“
I’m going out of town tomorrow,” he informed me.

“
For how long,” I inquired, surprised.

“
About three to five days. It’s a business trip. I’m flying to Arizona to meet some new contacts.”

“
Is it going to be dangerous?”

He chuckled.
“Everything has danger to it Sexy. But don’t worry, Delco and my boys Lux and Biz are going with me.”

“
I’m going to miss you,” I told him honestly.

“
I’m gonna miss you too Sexy,” he confessed.

We made love for the first time that morning. Usually we would just rip each other
’s clothes off and try to fuck each other’s brains out but this time it was different; it was slow, sweet and tender. When I came it was like my spirit left my body and flew up into the skies and shattered into a million pieces before I came back down to earth. I lay beside him afterwards and watched him while he slept. I loved how dark and smooth his complexion was, the feel of his sexy thick lips against my skin, the look of ecstasy on his face when he came. That’s when I realized that I loved…him. I loved him. It was the most exhilarating and scary feeling in the entire world.

CHAPTER TWELVE

ANGEL

I decided to spend some quality time with Mina while Tyga was away. She was taking the breakup with Boss real hard. Usually when she broke up with someone she would go drinking and partying with her best friend Shawnee until she either found a replacement or got over her heart ache. For some reason this time was different. She was spending all her time moping around the apartment; Sitting on the couch eating junk food and watching reality television. Shawnee and I tried encouraging her to go out and do stuff with us, but she just wanted to be left alone.

I walked through the door of the apartment and did a double take
at the sight of the person sitting on the couch in his boxers with his feet propped up on the coffee table while he smoked a blunt.

“
What the fuck are you doing here?” I demanded.

“
Your mom and I are back together,” Boss smirked. “Aren’t you happy?” He gave me a suggestive look and winked.

“
OH hell to the nah!” I gave him a disgusted look that he found funny. So I gave him the finger and stormed off to Mina’s room to get some answers. She was sitting on her bed in a robe rubbing lotion on her legs.

“
You took that loser back,” I accused.

“
Yes,” she shrugged nonchalantly.

“
Are you fucking serious!” I raged. “He’s a fucking liar with a baby mama, a harem full of bitches and who knows how many STDs.”

“
I’m a grown woman Angel,” she snapped. “I can take care of myself. Plus you don’t have all the details to our situation.”

“
Fuck the fucking details,” I yelled. “There is nothing in this world you can say to me that’s going to make me feel you should give that nigga another chance.”

“
You didn’t tell her the good news.” Boss walked into the room smiling from ear to ear like the cat that ate the canary. “You’re going to be a big sister.”

“
You got to be fucking kidding me,” I said in disbelief. That was the last thing I was expecting to hear. “Mina you’re gonna have this asshole’s baby?”

“
You better learn to control that mouth of yours bitch,” he warned.

“
If the shoe fits wear it,” I retorted.

He started towards me
with his hands balled into fists but Mina intercepted him. She placed a placating hand on his shoulder. “Give me a moment to talk to my daughter alone please.” She pleaded.

He shot me the stink eye before leaving the room.

“Please tell me you’re not gonna get back with this nigga just because you’re pregnant,” I begged her.

“
What do you want me to do Angel,” she sighed. “I had to raise you by myself, or rather you raised yourself. I don’t want to go through that again.”

“
You have me,” I responded, taking a seat on her bed. “You know I’m gonna be there for you. You ain’t gonna be alone this time.”

“
I know I can count on you.” She sat beside me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. “But you have your own life now and plus sometimes a woman just needs a man. I know you don’t agree, but I’d like if you would at least try to get along with him for me and the baby.”

“
He’s not a man he’s a snake,” I quibbled. “And what about his other baby mama?”

“
I’m not worried about her. He broke things off with her.”

“
And you believe that?” I asked skeptically.

“
Yes Angel. I forgave him for lying and we’re moving on from that now,” She said in a tone that suggested it was the end of that discussion.

“
Well congrats on the baby.”

“
Thanks,” she smiled.

I knew she was lying to her damn self, but why should I expect anything different from her.
The chick lived in her own world. She never listened when I told her he was coming on to me, even when he was being blatantly obvious.

She
could do much better than him, pregnant or not, but as she said before she was a grown woman. I knew once she had her mind made up there was no changing it so I decided to just wait for him to fuck up again which by my estimation wouldn’t be too long.

Later that evening my girls and I got together for our last Friday of the month get together. We were hanging out in my room because Mina and Boss were in the living room watching a movie.
We were sprawled on my bed passing the blunt and bottle of Hennessy around amongst us. I was high as a mother fucker and a little drunk. I had been having a bad day so I drank a little too much.

“
So you’re going to be a big sister.” Daisy expressed. I had just finished updating them on the Mina/Boss debacle.

“
I guess,” I shrugged.

“
How do you feel about that?” she inquired.

“
It was the last thing I expected, but after thinking about it, I guess it won’t be horrible having a little brother or a sister around. You know I always wished I was closer with my dad’s kids. But I just hate the fact that we ain’t never gonna get rid of Boss now.”

“
Yeah,” Keya agreed. “Unless he’s a deadbeat dad you’ll have him in your grill forever”

“
As much as I hate that fucker I hope he’s there for his kid, because it’s not a good feeling not having your dad around.”

They both nodded in agreement because their dad wasn
’t in their life either, so they knew how I felt. When my auntie was pregnant with Keya their dad left her for another woman. Mother fucker had the nerve to say he didn’t want to be tied down with a bunch of kids.

We sat drinking and smoking in a pensive mood.

“I know what’s gonna cheer you up!” Keya announced, removing a giftwrapped package from her Dooney & Bourke bag and throwing it to me. “I got you this yesterday, but with everything going on I forgot to give it to you.”

“
Thank you,” I cheered, tearing into the wrapping paper. It was a big black dildo. I looked at it and then at my cousin and back at it again and started cracking up. “What the fuck am I gonna do with this? You know I got a man with one just as big. Plus with him I ain’t got to fuck up my wrist.”

“
Enough with the boasting,” she grinned rolling her eyes. “We all know your man is hung like a horse, you’ve only told us a million and one times.”

“
Make that a million and two,” Daisy piped in. I punched her in the arm playfully and she rubbed where my fist connected pretending it was tender. “Ohh, violent much.”

“
Ok haters,” I joked. “What am I gonna do with this shit.” I pointed at the ten inch, veined black cock.
