He's Only Mine Part Time

Cover for 'He’s Only Mine Part Time'

He's Only Mine Part Time  

            It's a cold rainy morning. Randy and I are just lying in bed listening to the rain hit the roof. We speak on things like our daughter, Taliah, and things like her college fund, the mortgage, our business and other married couple things. Then we get quiet and just listen to the soft music that fills the room. We have never slept without our Bose System playing throwback hits by old school artists like Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s get it On’ or Prince’s ‘Do Me Baby.’
            Just like every morning, Randy rolls over and cuddles up with me from behind; the hardness of his body presses against the softness of my backside. My Babe always sleeps naked, so that our morning escapades and access to my body can be effortless. I grab his strong arms and hold on thinking about the heart-riveting heat of sex that was about to take place. Just like every morning, we both need our fix of each other’s body.
            He reaches down and gathers my lacy-silk sex-luring gown into his hands and slowly pulls it over my head. I always make sure Victoria Secret delivers some exotic, enticing and tasty body-exhibiting piece by United Parcel Service. I lift my body to embrace the feeling of his big manly hands and allow the silky cloth to exit my body over my head.
            The soft lingerie is thrown to the floor and exchanged with the touch of his strong hand caressing my neck to pull me close to him. The strength of his pull on my body makes the sound of skin-to-skin contact. We snap together like the piece and fit of a jigsaw puzzle. His hand slides from my neck to my soft yet huge supple breasts that he loves so much. He calls them beautiful and the twins. He squeezes and probes while my nipples eject through his fingers. My nipples become at attention to yet prove, once again, my eagerness for him to enter me. The erectness of his huge stamped-approved package on my soft ass confirms his eagerness to enter me. This foreplay is killing me slowly as he plays in his playground of softness and voluptuousness of my boobs. His hand slides again and continues to explore stopping at my hottest spot. His fingers play inside of me.
            I sigh with pleasure and go into pleasure spasms as the slipperiness of his fingers show how enticing his touch is to my spot. I need him badly and proof is within the wetness of the touch of his fingers to my love canal. Involuntary convulsions kidnap my body. I tremble as he caresses there and moves his fingers around in all the right pleasure pockets. My eyes water as his fingers linger in ecstasy land.
            Damned him for teasing me for so long! If he doesn’t enter me soon with the hugeness of him, I will snatch his well-endowed piece that’s pressing against my ass and put it where it belongs!
            No sooner than I say that to myself, he grabs my earlobe with his lips and whispers in my ear. He knows my earlobe is another hot spot and makes me all the more eager.
            “Mmm, you feel good. I love making love to you early in the mornings. And I hope you don’t have to pee this time.”
            Laughing, I couldn’t verbally respond to him if I wanted to. I’m so much in bliss that it’s captured my voice hostage and will not allow me to speak. I can only feel and the feeling is like paradise. But, he’s right. Constantly is the need to relieve myself, in the bathroom, during sex. One thing about men is they can drink beer or alcohol beverages all day and avoid the restroom all night. Once they get into the bed to sleep, there is no more getting up.
            Finally, he lifts my leg and glides his huge love portion into my longing hotness. It’s a chemical mix that’s been working fine for years, never broken and never an infidelity; at least none I know about. Everything is just right. Love intertwining with love. It’s heated passion that lives on. And it’s a most welcomed blessing that most couples who are married this long cannot claim.
            Beatin’ it up is the word of the day. Makin’ it rain’ is what the rappers say. My sugar walls are feelin’ like old school R&B.  Gettin’ these draws is what my baby is doing to me. A poundin’ to my body, that doesn’t involve a fight. Beat the pussy up, Baby, ‘cause it’s go be round two, three, and four tonight!
            Mmm! As I’m gettin’ hit from behind, my mind is writing some damned poetry that can go into my diary. Shoot! I may even be a lyricist some day. This kind of sex will make a bitch rhyme, cry, scream, shout, testify, and just want to tell the world. A continuous flow to the backside of my body is going down as my babe is pumping in and out of me, gliding in me back and forth and winding it around. Not stopping the flow, he rolls me over to my stomach and onto my knees without missing a beat. This is what’s up, along with me getting on my knees and pushing it back to my Babe. He says no woman has ever pushed it back to him; that’s why the lazy bitches got fired! That’s why I got hired to do the job like its 'spose to be done. That’s why I am here getting the divine pleasure I deserve!
            I’m climaxing over and over and over. The screaming is so loud that the next door neighbors might hear me. He doesn’t have to hold my mouth as he usually does, because or daughter, Taliah, is enjoying at a sleepover with friends.
            He grabs my tits as he continues poundin’ and hittin’ it doggy style. My Babe is pumping me so hard and fast, that I almost lose my balance. But, I’m right with my babe as he pounds, grinds, digs and gets all that he wants and as long as he wants. He is driving in me so fast that I can no longer throw it back to him, but just stay on my knees receiving it and enjoy it.
            “I want you to get yours, Babe, so climb on top of here for your ride,” he whispers.
          Didn't he hear me screaming? I got mine over and over and over again.
            He rolls over to lie on his back and I climb on for my ride. Holding that beautiful piece in his hand, I moan as I take in all the hugeness receiving it as it forcedly goes inside of me; due to my being so tight. I grab the headboard and get ready for my continuous morning pleasure trip. He says he’s never experienced such a way a woman’s riding him as I do. I've never experienced a man who can do me for hours on end, so I reward him by rolling it, grinding it, pumping it to him fast and as fast as I could bounce on it. My Babe doesn’t have to move if he doesn’t want to because I'm in control. My skills cause him to make loud noises of ecstasy. I could go slow and easy, but I choose hard and fast.
            Doing my move called the butterfly, I use my muscles to tighten my walls on his dick and in no time we arrive at ours together. I release the headboard and fall down onto his pumped chest. I kiss his muscular skin on his chest passionately. I am like some wild animal, sucking, biting, licking and secretly leaving passion marks there in case there’s another bitch trespassing. Then, I go up for a wet kiss of his lips, my tongue gliding upward of his body from his chest. Promising him some hot steamy oral sex as dessert for later, I suck up his thick juicy lips into mine.
            Rising up from my kiss I spit as I come up with only lint from my pillow. I sputter and look again at the bed. Tears form in my eyes as I realize it was only me in the bed with a fantasy wet dream.
            This can’t be true. It was so realistic. My Randy was here. Where is my Randy?      Still not believing that he was not here with me, I called out his name.
            “Baby, where are you? Randy? Baby, I need you! Please come to me!”
            A piercing pain shot through my heart as reality sat in. Then Randy spoke to me. Remember, Baby, although I was taken away from you in that car wreck, I’m still with you. I will always be with you and our daughter.
            Even though he was not realistically there and I just heard him in my head. He actually has kept me sane whenever he talked to me. His voice comforted me, but not so much as after that dream.  It was so damned real that I got depressed. Good thing our daughter was not home to see me like that. I fell down onto the bed and cried like a baby. I knew I must drag myself out of bed. My whole body felt like lead. It resisted as I stood up to go take my shower. My feet were dragging and none of my limbs wanted to move. Forcing my way through that depression, I managed to get through my shower.
            Randy’s matching terry cloth robe hung next to mine. We used our robes at the country club. Our initials embroidered on the outside, we were a do or die couple; always down for each other. I decided to choose Randy’s robe instead of mine, because there was a need for me to feel next to him. I wrapped a towel around my head and slipped on my shower shoes. Not toweling off, Randy’s terrycloth robe soaked up all of the excess water from my body. I couldn’t have dried off if I wanted to because depression had me on lock. So, everything felt like weighted-down steel as I dragged to the kitchen to get my morning coffee.
            The coffee machine timer worked well with my lazy weekend schedule. All I had to do was pour a cup and plop down at the table. I looked over at my reliable friend lying on the table top. My faithful diary stared back at me wondering when I will write again. What better time than then? I picked up the pen and thumbed through. Laughing to me at the way my diary has been so confidential, trustworthy and dependable, I took a deep sigh. It held all of my secrets, it couldn’t tell anyone anything like reporting to my gossiping friends, and it’s about time I shared with it again. So, I made a few entries.

Dear Diary,                                                                                                              Sept. 12

            Sometimes, I miss him so much; I think I’m going crazy. I try to stay busy running the company and raising our daughter, Taliah. She is so grown, or at least she thinks she is. Sometimes I feel she is the adult and I’m the child because I’ve been crying so much lately over Randy. She seems so strong. Even though she and her dad were so close, she’s always been so independent and confident. I wonder if I had this behavior at her tender age of thirteen. I don’t think I had those traits, because she is really amazing; not that I wasn’t amazing myself in some ways. But, Taliah’s being so independent is a blessing as well as a curse. It’s a blessing because she mainly takes care of herself and leaving me time to concentrate on the business. Funny, I didn’t know anything about marketing and advertising when I first took over Kyle Advertising, but, I refuse to sell it. Randy put his all into this business and there was no way I could just let it go.
            So many said I was crazy to hang onto Kyle Advertising; telling me what I couldn’t do.  But, I showed them that I could keep the business going; now it’s thriving and we are steadily acquiring new accounts. Though I got little praise, it wasn’t really the praise that I wanted. However everyone wants a little gratitude. Really though, knowing Taliah is happy and taken care of is all I need. I really want that to be enough, but sometimes I feel so alone. It’s only been a year and a half since Randy died in that stupid car accident. It’s so unfair that they just let these Mexicans cross the border; though I have no real problem with them being here. I even have a few of them working for me. But, driving drunk with no license or insurance is showing no consideration for their lives or the lives of others.
            I can’t dwell on it and hold hate in my heart for what happened. I have to move on. I have to be strong for Taliah. She doesn’t have her father so she needs her mother. Sometimes I feel as though I haven’t had adequate time to even grieve. My whole life turned upside down over night; suddenly going from a woman that only worried about what to wear, where to eat, what time I had to meet my friends at the Country Club, to a business women, and soul provider for my daughter. I’ve accomplished so much in this short little time. I’m so proud of myself. I’m even dealing well with being a single parent.
            Sometimes though, I just get so lonely. But, I can’t just bring a man, any man, into our home or into our lives. I know my daughter isn’t ready, but I miss the comfort of a man. I miss the security.  I think, most of all, I miss being held and made love to. I miss being close to someone. I miss the intimacy that Randy and I shared. I don’t know if I will ever love again the way I loved him. But I know in my heart that I do want to love again.
            Tomorrow I start interviewing for someone to help me manage the company, and it’s been a long time coming. I knew I needed to hire someone right away. Randy was in the process of doing that before he passed. I didn’t want to do it right when I took over, because there was so much I needed to learn myself. At the time, I knew I couldn’t train someone what to do if I didn’t know really what to do myself. Now that it’s getting to be too much for me to handle, I need someone to help me run the company. Plus, I want to spend more time at home with Taliah.
            If I hire someone dependable, I won’t have to work so hard.  I just hate the interviewing and hiring process. So many people need jobs, I just hate turning so many people down. I know how it feels to be unemployed, but I can only pick the right person for the job. Sometimes it’s so hard finding the right person. That’s it for this morning, Dear Diary. I guess Tracy, my ex therapist, was right. Starting a diary again does give me release! I haven’t had a diary since high school. It kind of feels good, though, sharing my inner thoughts with someone who can’t talk back or criticize me.
At the office of Kyle Advertising
            I had been interviewing all morning and it seemed like this process would take forever.
            Damned, I can’t wait till lunch time!  I need a cigarette. Let me call Danielle to see if I have someone else waiting, because if I do, they are going to have to wait until I get back in from smoking.
            “Danielle, my loving secretary, is there anyone else I have to see?”
            “Yes, you have one more before lunch, a Jermaine Rivers.”
            “Ok. Well, damned girl, is he here yet?”
            “No, he’s not due for another fifteen minutes. His interview isn’t ‘til eleven-fifteen.”
            “Alright, well I’m going out to smoke. I’ll be right back in.”
            Before I could even sit down, the phone started ringing.  I rolled my eyes and picked up the phone.
            “Yes, Danielle.”
            “Ja’ Lisa, your eleven-fifteen appointment is here.”
            “Okay, go ahead and show him in.”
            Danielle opened the door and let Mr. Rivers into my office. Busy, picking up a few applications I accidentally tipped them off of my desk to the floor. When I finally looked up, I was mesmerized. Mr. Rivers was so fine!  He was six feet one, mocha-brown skin complexion, long sandy-red hair neatly corn rowed down to his neck, kissable brown lips with a killer smile and clean white teeth. I couldn’t help but stare for a moment. Coming back to reality, I offered him a seat.
            “Hello Mr. Rivers. I’m Ja’ Lisa Kyle. Please have a seat.”
            He looked at me with that killer smile, and then he spoke.
            “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Kyle.”
            “Please call me Ja’ Lisa.”
            “Alright, Ja’ Lisa.”
            Damned he sounds good too! He has the sexiest voice.
            Taking his application and resume, I had a thought.
            I really hope he’s qualified, because he’s hired!
            “I see you have a Master's degree in business and management.”
            “Yes, I graduated business school with honors, I might add.  I’ve
worked in the marketing and advertising field since I was in high school.”
            “Very impressive!”
            “Thanks!”
            Feeling a throbbing feeling between my legs, I began to get a little moist from the way he smiled at me. I looked away for a moment clearing my throat. I did not want to make it obvious that I was clearly feeling him.
            “So, if I consider you for this position are you aware that there is a lot of hard work involved? This isn’t an easy job.”
            “I know and I’m up for the challenge.”
            Um, I bet you are!
            Realizing I was staring at him once again, I caught myself before he realized it.
            “So, if hired, when can you start, Mr. Rivers?”
            “Please, just call me Jermaine. My father is Mr. Rivers.”
            I couldn’t help but giggle when he said that.
            “Ok, Jermaine it is.”
            “I can start today. Right now, if you need me to.”
            I loved his enthusiasm.
            “Hmm, though I could really use the help, it’s already Thursday, so how about first thing Monday morning at nine a.m.?”
            “Yes, that will be great!”  He thought about it for a moment as if he was letting reality sink in. “You mean I’m really hired?”
            “Yes, if you want the job. It’s yours.”
            Jermaine jumped up, and not being able to hide his excitement, he screamed.
            “Should have believed that there!”
            I laughed, because I had never heard that saying before.
            “Sorry, I do apologize for my outburst. I’m just so happy that you’re giving me this opportunity. Words can’t express how happy and grateful I am right now!”
            I was happy and grateful as well. If nothing else, he would be something really delicious and good to look at every morning.
            “Are you straight?”
            He answered ‘yes.’ Though he still appeared in a state of disbelief, I repeated my earlier statement about ‘it not being an easy job.’
            “I’m up for the challenge. You will not be disappointed.”
            Watching him lick those sexy brown lips almost set me aflame.
            “I'm sure I will not be disappointed. Well, Mr. Rivers, we will see you Monday at nine sharp.”
            “Thanks Ja’ Lisa. I will be here on time, and I will not let you down.”
            Not even five minutes after he left, Danielle came in.
            “Ja’ Lisa, he seemed real happy when he walked passed me.”
            “Well he should because he got the job.”
            “Oh he did? Well did you hire him because he was the best qualified or is it because he is so fine?”
            I looked at her as if she was crazy.
            “I hired him because he is qualified for the job.  I wouldn’t just hire him because he is fine. Fine doesn’t get the job done. It didn't get you your job did it?”
            Although, I knew she was right, I didn’t need her knowing that.
            She shook her head and said, “He is though.”
            “He’s what?”
            “Fine!”
            “Yes girl he is that!  I have to admit it.”
            We both laughed.
            “Well, is he married, single or what?”
            “Hell, I don’t know. I didn’t ask him all of that. That was not one of the requirements for the job.”
                "Well there is one way you can find out and that’s to look at his W-4 form.”
            I acted as if I didn’t care about the W-4 or as if I wanted to know the information about Mr. Rivers. But soon as Danielle left my office, I almost broke my back looking for that form. When I found it, I was kind of disappointed at what I saw.
            Damn, he is married! And, he has two other dependants which mean he has children. Shit! I should have known!  Well I just hired him so I can’t fire him now; especially not for being married.  Maybe it’s best that he is married, though. I really don’t need to be trying to get involved with anyone right now, and especially someone working for me.
            I looked up at the clock. Realizing it was lunch time, I picked up the phone to buzz Danielle.
           “Danielle, I’m going to lunch and since all I had scheduled for today is interviews, I think I’m going to just take the rest of the day off. I might go home and spend some time with my daughter when she gets home from school. You can knock off early too.  Just make sure you call the rest of the applicants that we had scheduled for this afternoon. Let them know that the position has been filled. Tell them that their applications will be kept on file for six months just in case something else comes open that they may qualify for.”
            “Um hum, will do. So is Mr. Rivers married?”
            “Damned Girl, you are so nosey. Yes, Mr. Rivers is married,” I said with a sarcastic attitude.
            “I should have known, Ja'Lisa, because all of the good ones are married, gay or in jail.”
            I giggled.
            “Yes, Girl, that is so true. I will see your crazy ass in the morning.”
            “Bye, Ja’ Lisa.”
            “Bye, Danielle.”
            When I got to the school, I walked into the office. The principal of the school is Mrs. Valerie Thompson. She came out to greet me.
            “Hi.  How are you doing, Mrs. Kyle?”
            They say my last name as if I’m still married, and as if my husband is still alive. I thought about taking my maiden name back, which was Sampson. Yet, I loved my name, which remained Ja’ Lisa Rashawnna Kyle. I've always thought it had a nice ring to it. So, that was the name tagged to stay with me until death. I really didn’t have a thought about ever getting married again. I wanted to fall in love and I wanted to be with someone, but I never wanted to be someone else’s wife. Randy was my first love. He was my first husband and he will be my last. I will never belong to another the way I belonged to him. We were supposed to grow old together. So, I feared growing old alone.
      I must have been looking melancholy. I was just lost in my thoughts.
      “Mrs. Kyle, are you ok?”
     “Yes, I’m sorry my mind was someplace else.”
     “Is everything alright? Who did you need to see?”
     "Oh, everything is fine.  I’m just here to pick up Taliah.”
     “May I ask why you are here to pick her up from school so early?”
     “Yes. She has a doctor’s appointment.  I don’t even think she’s aware of it, because I forgot until the nurse called to remind me.”
      Mrs. Thompson always looked so fake and phony when she smiled at me. I knew she didn't like me every since that day we got into it. They tried to rush me into sending Taliah back to school after her father died. It had only been a week and they were calling.
      “Mrs. Kyle, Taliah has already missed a whole week of school.  Do you think it’s about time she comes back to catch up on her studies?  She is missing so much work.”
     That bitch was lucky I couldn’t go through the phone.
      “Well, hell, her father just died! She misses him an awful lot. I do not feel that she needs to return as of yet. Besides, I’m not sending my child back to school until she is good and ready to go back. You, of all people, should know how traumatic this experience is for me, let alone a thirteen-year-old child!”
     “Well, we have concern that she does not get considerably behind in her studies. She is such a bright student.”
     “Well, talk to her teachers and ask that they send whatever work necessary to your office and I will come by and pick it up. She can catch up on her work at home just as well. I will even hire someone to help her if I have to, but I am not rushing my daughter back to school while she’s still grieving the loss of her father.”
     Click! I hung up the phone in her damned face. I slammed the phone down so hard that I know it hurt her ears. I really didn’t care, and I was in her face the next morning to show her. Oh she was so nice to me. She changed her tune really quickly.  All of a sudden, she was so concerned and understanding as to why I was keeping Taliah out of school. The bitch was scared is the reason.  She thought I might jump on her and pull that weave off of her head; that’s what it was. So, she’s been fake nice to me every since.
      “Just have a seat Mrs. Kyle. We will send someone to retrieve Taliah for you.
      Let me check and see what class she has now.”
      I broke out with my fake and phony smile just as she had.
      “Alright, thank you Mrs. Thompson.”
     Knowing she can’t stand me, I went to the waiting area to have a seat. I crossed my legs thinking to myself.
     I can’t stand her either, so as far as I’m concerned we can fake it all day.  As long as she treats my daughter like somebody we won’t have any more problems.
     I know I had been waiting for a good ten minutes. Just as I stood to approach the front desk as to what the hell was taking so long, in walked Taliah.
     “Hi Momma, what’s going? Why are you here to get me?”
     “You have a doctor’s appointment scheduled for today.”
     “A doctor's appointment? I know nothing about that.”
     “I know, Sweetie, I had forgotten about it myself. So, come on before we are late.”
     When we got out of the building and into the parking lot, I told her the truth.
     “Baby, Mommy got off a few hours early and I thought maybe we could have a little mother and daughter time together.  You know, go shopping, get those sneakers you’ve been begging for, maybe an outfit or two or get something to eat or go to the movies. It’s been a long time since we’ve done those type things.”
     She looked at me with this weary look on her face.
     “I know it has, but couldn’t you have waited ‘til I got out of school?”
     With a perplexed look on my face, I looked at her.
     “Yes, I guess I could have, but why would you want to stay in school?  I’ve never seen a child that didn’t want to get out of school early, no matter what the reason.”
     “No, I’m happy about it, it’s just that I’m going to miss seeing Bryan today. He’s in my eighth-period class.”
     “Okay, and who is Bryan?”
     “Ma, I told you about him.”
     “Oh, you did?”
     “Yes, Mother I did.”
     “You may have, but you talk about so many little boys these days; not to mention
the fact that you are always on the telephone.  I can’t keep up with all the little boys who call the house. Your cell bill is often higher than mine.  I told you about using that phone before nine p.m.  I really just got the phone for you in case of emergencies anyway.”
     “I know, Ma, but everybody’s got to be in bed by nine on school nights.”
     “Well, call them on the house phone or have them call you on the house phone.”
     I shook my head thinking back to when I was her age.
     “You are worse than me when I was your age. The only difference is I had to sneak to use the phone to talk to boys, because if my daddy found out, he would have killed me. I’m not that strict on you. I’d rather trust you than to be that strict. That’s when children act really wild when they have too many reigns on them. A lot of parents don’t understand that when you are too strict on a child, then once they are finally are set free, they will be wild as hell.  Then, they’ll do everything they can to rebel against their parents, plus all the shit they wasn’t able to do. All I ask of you is that you don’t have sex ‘til you’re eighteen.”
      That started me to thinking.
     “You haven’t yet, have you?”
      After asking the question, she looked at me like I was a damn fool.
      "Haven’t what?”
     “Sex! Have you had sex yet?”
     “No, mother, I’m not having sex. I haven’t even had my first kiss yet.”
     I shook my head. I was really relieved to hear that.
     “That’s good you don’t need to be kissing no boys right now.”
    “I know Ma, I’m not ready for all that yet.”
     “Well when you get ready, please let me know. We’ll have a lot to talk about.”
     Stopping at a red light, I looked into her eyes. Since I hadn’t gotten a response in letting me know when she’s ready, I decided to repeat it and make her promise me.
     “Promise me that you won’t have sex without talking to me first.”
     “I won’t do it, Mother, I promise. Now can we drop the subject?”
      I knew she wanted to drop the subject, but I wasn’t ready to drop it yet. I thought about my older sister.
      "I just don’t want you to end up like your Aunt Tamara. She had two kids before she turned twenty-one. She had the first one when she was seventeen. And part of that was our dad’s fault. He was strict on both of us, but he was really bad on her. He didn’t allow her to do anything. She got tired of that shit.  So, she met this really cute boy and. Keon was his name. He was the neighborhood thug selling drugs amongst other things. He had a lot of money. She got pregnant by him and moved into his apartment. He beat her something awful. He would beat her ass so badly until she finally left him. She decided enough was enough after she became pregnant with her second child. He jumped on her and she left him. I was away at college. Daddy let her move back in and helped her with the kids. Well, really Momma let her back in. She was the one that kept the kids when Tamara went back to school. She got her GED and went to college.  Now, all is well, because she has a damn good job. She had it so rough. This is why, I don’t want you to have to go through the things your aunt did by getting pregnant at a young age.”
     “Momma, for the last time, I’m not having sex. If that is what you got me out of school for is to have the sex talk, you could have left me in school!”
      We parked close to the mall, because I hated going out having to look for my car.

Excerpt from my Book - Runaways

 
Cover for 'Runaways'

“Gigi, girl, its bad enough if my folks ever catch us in those woods they will kill me for sure. Now imagine if they catch us in the woods with boys then I will never ever be able to leave the h...
ouse again.”
Candy teases me, but I don’t like her teasing.
“Well, they don’t let you leave the house now, so that won’t be so much different.”
Old nasty Candy puts in her two cents then picks up the short cigarette butt that Gigi thumbs away. She takes a drag then starts to complain.
“Gigi, you never bring cigarettes no more!”
Patty looks back over her shoulder and nervously gives an update on the charging wagon.
“Y’all that white man on that wagon don’t look like he gonna be too happy with us all up in his way! He just may run us all down!”
Patty talks in southern drawl and is always as nervous as a cow in the slaughterhouse. But, she is right. I watch the mule as he gets slaps from the reigns. The owner and the mule show no sign of slowing down. Gigi is steadfast and boldly stands right smack in the middle of the pathway again.
The driver pulls back on the reigns and screams at the mule.
“Whoa! Mule! Whoa!”
Gigi stares at the white driver with her eyebrows raised, hands on her hips and a naughty look on her face. I look from her to the driver and from the driver to her. I should have known they know each other. This white guy looks to be in his early to middle twenties. His hair is black and curly. He is tall and quite muscular. I never rightly look at white people as attractive, but I have to admit, he is a looker. It turns out Gigi does indeed know the guy. He looks at Gigi with confidence. It is like a look of certainty in knowing this girl for some time.
“Why it’s you Devil Lye. So why are you all up in my way, girl? I saw a bunch of beautiful spades in the middle of the road, but I had no idea you was in the deck. I had no mind to slow, just knowing y’all blacks had some sense enough of moving out my way. But Gigi, girl, you make my mule drool. Hell, you make me drool!”
I notice his deep southern accent. A nasty wad of chewing tobacco shows as he speaks. He spits out a slew of black tobacco juice, it seems, without parting his lips. It barely misses my foot. I check for spills. He never stops staring at Gigi.
Gigi courageously walks toward the wagon to climb on. White dude grabs her arm and assists her up. She stands beside him. She puts out her hand and he kisses it. I look for a puddle of tobacco juice on her hand, but there is none. So, I guess he doesn’t leave his tobacco juices around or pass liquid tar out too freely.
Dumb Gigi says some dumb stuff to him.
“Italian Stallion, it is my pleasure to stop you and your mule from running us down. You know how special you are to me,” Gigi says talking but not in her usual her northern accent.
She moved to Georgia from New York, so she talks northern. But, at this moment and to impress her white friend, she’s talking like one of them white girls from the plantation. She is using the type of drawl as was in the movie Gone with the Wind. Italian Stallion’s face turns as red as an apple, so he is smitten with her flattery.
“Gal, get on over here, sit close to me and ride on to that there school of yours.”
Gigi looks over at us and asks him a question.
“Can you take my girls here and drop them off at the school, too?”
“I can do, Devil Lye. I will do just about anything you ask of me gal. Tell them gals to hop on in here. You sit right here side me.”
That old fast Gigi sits right close to him.
Infuriation is how I feel of her actions, but a ride to school is nice. There is another mile to walk and I am still sleepy.
After we hesitate, Gigi looks at us and asks in smart tongue.
“Well, are y’all riding or what?”
The crew climbs aboard. I hesitantly move to join them. But because of my hesitancy, he slaps the reins on the mule’s back and the wagon moves away. I run and try to jump on. My crew helps me up. As we ride by, I stick out my tongue at my oldest siblings.
I happily tease them.
“Na! Na! Na! Na! Na!” Then, I call for my youngest – Timmy and Nattie to run and climb on.
“Timmy! Nattie! Run on up here and climb on!”
They run to catch up and the girls and I pull the kids inside the back of the wagon. I can see my older siblings aren’t too pleased with the situation. I wonder if they will tell our parents because they tried to keep the kids away from the ride. I know they fear them being on the wagon with a white man, but I trust Gigi and so should they. So, they are looking angrily at me as we speed away.
We pull up to our barn of a school, a structure of old gray boards nailed loosely together. The old school barn stands alone in the middle of an open field. We call it Community Education. Believe me, Community is the best name because all ages attend from four years old to eighteen years and older. I could see sunlight through the cracks of the building shining in from one side and out from the other. This is one reason school is only attended in spring, summer and fall months. We will actually freeze if school is held in the winter.
Mr. Stallion pulls to a stop and we all jump from the wagon. The kids rush to the playground. The slimy white guy grips and pulls back the reigns to control the restless mule. To my surprise, his eyes take a hold on me. I am uncomfortable under his stare, and I think Gigi’s noticing his admiration for me. Her look of annoyance and jealousy is burning my skin. She rolls her eyes and snuggles closer to him which is her hint. Her eyes say that I should ignore his attraction to me and stay away from her man. She doesn’t have to roll her eyes twice because I quickly move on.
It’s early and not many students are on the yard. The few students who are present are thinking that it’s strange that Gigi’s snuggling up with a white man in public. The school kids may also think it strange that my crew and I got a ride to school on the back of a white man's wagon.
Student population increases on the yard and the couple manages to linger around for even more attention. The crowds stare at them in amazement and confusion, but they wouldn’t dare take on Gigi about what she does. Yet, the stares do not stop them from snuggling up in the least. Now we wonder if Gigi and Stallion are playing with a full deck of cards. They both may have a slight mental condition. If they were at a white school, the KKK would swarm and lynch the both of them by nightfall or possibly during their careless actions. That is just how fast those white folks would be calling up their KKK buddies, and that would be immediately. This is just too much tension for me, so I call the girls and we inch over to the playground.
I look back to see Gigi whispering something in the Stallion’s ear. While she’s whispering, her eyes land on me. Surprisingly, she jumps from the wagon changing her mind to play hooky from school. I’m thinking she will address the issue of Stallion's attentive and long stare toward me in one way or another. Even so, none of it is my fault. I mean, I can’t help it if I’m so gorgeous. I don’t like the man’s attentive stare in the least, but I guess he knows beauty when he sees it. To me, he’s not worth us girls losing our friendship. So, Gigi will just have to accept it or put him in his place. I would love to put him in his place, but I know when to stay in mine. As long as he does not touch me, I am totally nonviolent.
When I get the girls together, we can feel the tension. We all know the results of a white mingling with a black. We don’t want the likes of the KKK coming around our school. I wonder how Gigi and Stallion keep them off when they are together at other times.
Anyway, I could feel the sting of my parents’ switch now. When they find out I was on the back of that wagon, I’ll really get it good. But, I will not have to worry about that until later because here comes Gigi and she don’t look too friendly.
She stares at me while she’s talking to the crew.
“Well, well, well, my girls were fortunate to get a ride this morning,” Gigi says and follows her comment with a stern look toward me.

Excerpt from my book - Malik

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/69151

I was very distraught with Chub’s wellbeing when I arrived at the club that afternoon. I had expected Bubba to arrive later to help out with clean up.
I had decided that I would have at least an hour t...
o myself out in the woods and alone, so I could release my feelings. As I put the key into the door of the club, I wanted to cry, but my emotions were halted by an evil voice from behind me.
This voice cut into me like a knife, just as the same voice had last night, when I heard my old gang name. He rapped his greeting like Tupac.
“Look, there’s Neckbone, from down home, and across the way, from South Central, LA!”
I froze for a moment knowing that I had to turn quickly to cover my ass because this was no friendly greeting. Break was my former gang member and he was standing there and calling me by my old gangster name. I turned to be face to face with this demon from my past. I couldn’t pull my gat, because Deidra was standing beside him.
“Hey Malik,” Deidra spoke looking puzzled at me then she looked at Break.
Obviously, Break had not told her our story. He stepped to me toe to toe. I could feel his hot threatening breath on my face. I wondered why he was with Deidra, but how did this brother find me was more important to me at the moment.
I gained my composure as to not frighten Deidra and spoke.
“Break it’s a…it’s a…it’s a surprise to see you, man,” I said lying and stuttering. “I’m surprised to see you. You recovered well over the years.”
“Yeah, you disappeared and I recovered how about that?” Break whispered, angrily.
His eyes slanted back toward Deidra, and then his face lightened. He continued to put on an act for Deidra. It was only an act Break could pull off. He adjusted my shirt collar and patted my chest.
“Malik, man, it’s good to see you,” Break spoke loudly, so Deidra could hear.
He stretched out his arms, pulled me to him and hugged me. He quickly pushed away and walked backwards until he was standing by Deidra again. He winked his eye at me and pointed.
Deidra noticed my awkward expression and looked at me all confused.
“Malik, are you okay?” Deidra asked.
“Oh, yeah, Baby! I’m fine! It’s just so hot standing here in the sun,” I answered.
Deidra spoke again.
“I saw you leave the club last night, but before I could ask Chub where you went, he had fallen ill, and everyone was all over him. I went outside, but I didn’t see you anywhere.”
“Ed or Break here, as you call him, said he saw you drive away. He says you two were friends back in South Central. I wanted to tell you about Chub, so Break rode with me to try and find you, although obviously, we couldn’t find you.”
Deidra looked at me once again with questioning me.
“Are you sure you’re okay, Malik?”
“Yeah baby,” I answered keeping my eye on Break. “You staying Dee or will you come back later? What’s up?”
“Oh, basically Malik, I brought your friend here to see you. He said y’all used to be close friends and y’all need to talk.”
“Yeah, talk,” I said trying not to frighten Deidra. “Well Break, man, I’m very busy. I’m just here to pick up some things and then I’ve got to bounce back to the hospital. You know, we may not even open tonight.”
There was a long silence.
Deidra broke the silence.
“Well, how’s Chub, anyway?”
“Not too good, Dee, and I’m pretty worried about him.”
“Oh, do you need me to stay with you? I can come back and...” Deidra offered.
I cut her off trying to get rid of Break.
“Oh no, you, ah...ah...I’ll call you later, Dee.”
“Yeah Dee, he’ll call you later and I’ll catch you later, Neckbone,” Break said.
Break then stepped forward and pushed back his jacket, so Dee could not see. He revealed his gun to me then let his jacket fall back down covering the gun.
I kept a clear expression though I was terrified inside. I managed to utter an answer.
“Bet Break, man. Later.”
Sweat had accumulated on my forehead from peeping Break’s gun. I brushed the sweat from my forehead. I was relieved when he got into his car.
He shouted out to Dee.
“I’ve got your cell number, Boo. I’ll dial those digits shortly.”
Break gave me a wink of his eye and sped away in his car spinning off rocks, dirt, and a trail of dust.
Deidra got into her car. I leaned over her window to talk to her.
“Malik, something tells me this guy is not your friend. What is going on between you two?”
“Look Dee, what did you tell Break about me?”
“Nothing, except that Chub is your friend, and that I needed to find you and inform you of Chub’s illness. He did most of the talking about you and how he was close to you and your parents. He told me some childhood things about you and him, when you were in LA, and I believed him.”
“Hey Dee, don’t sweat it. You did nothing wrong, but gave that nigger your cell phone number. Look Dee, I know Break seems all fly and sophisticated. He talks a good game and all, but trust me Dee and stay away from him. He is trouble, with a capital T.”
“Okay, Malik. I trust you. I will stay away. I could see the look on your face that he made you uncomfortable.”
I was glad Dee trusted me about Break. She looked at me flashing those big brown eyes that made me want her from day one. I wanted to take her into the club and be alone with her, but knowing the dangers of Break, I asked her to leave. Besides, Chub was too heavy on my mind.
Bubba drove up as I walked into the club. He and I cleaned the club in preparation for the night’s turn out.
“How’s Chub, Man?” Bubba asked,
“Oh Bubba, man, I’m so worried. He talks and then goes unconscious. They say it’s not a coma, but man, I’m just worried. The medical staff ran me out, so I just came here to keep my mind busy.”
“Hey Malik, the brothers are here for you,” Bubba informed. “We even got a crowd coming tonight. Not the thugged out crowd, like last night, but mostly Frats and college students.”

Lil Haitian - Impact by Author Tillie Wells

Cover for 'Lil Haitian Impact' www.smashwords.com/books/view/38711 Lonzo pulled up to his house in his Hummer. I assumed it to be his house from remembering Destiny describing it as a mansion. Since she said the other guys were not as fortunate as Lonzo, I assumed it to be Lonzo’s parents’ house. I was correct. He pressed a button and the security gates swung open. He drove inside and parked around a curved driveway. We all got out of the truck. I stood a w...

hile to admire how tall and wide his house stood.
The grounds were immaculate with shrubbery, water displays and various fixated designs in the yard in which only rich people could afford. I guessed the stream of water rising from the fountain had to have a heating element of some sort. The house was huge with so many windows and walk-on balconies leading out from some of the rooms. The grounds were frozen over and piled up with snow, but just by looking, I knew they must have had someone who took care of the landscaping. They must have had all kinds of servants because it was such a huge property. Admiring the whole scene, I began to wonder how they got so rich. Maybe in exchanging stories about my own life and his, I could find out more about how Lonzo's parents acquired all of their wealth.
“Hey Impact, welcome to my home, man! My casa is your casa at least until my parents find out I brought home a stray man to their castle, then shit will hit the fan! My dad may not agree, but my mom may just try to make you my dad’s replacement. She will definitely try to push up on you and from experiencing how the ladies are already digging you, she will most definitely have the fire for you. My mom usually tries to get fresh with my friends, so I’m just warning you,” Lonzo explained. “She tries to get with Patrick and Gonzo all the time, but I don’t even know if she’s playing or not. If they bust her by telling my dad, she will be mud. Maybe it's just some innocent flirting and shit. But, I think it’s just her game. Then again, I’m not quite sure about my mom. I’m never sure about my mom. I think she is just a big flirt with no bad intentions. They got enough shit on her to black mail the hell out of her. She’s really crazy, man. You’d think she’s sixteen years old instead of thirty something.”
“Okay, I understand, I guess. And thanks for the welcome and the warning all in the same conversation."
Lonzo laughed.
"Really, Lonzo, I don’t think I’ve ever been welcomed and warned all at the same time. I do not wish to be a problem between your dad and your mom. I can work a job and make my own way,” I sincerely explained.
“Forget it, man!” Patrick said. “Lonzo’s parents are loaded with money. You’ll be the brother he’s always wanted.”
“Ah, how sweet, Lonzo has an adopted brother!” Gonzo teased.
“Gonzo, you’re always the comic,” I said. “Is it true, Lonzo, that you’ve always wanted a brother?”
“Yeah, I’ve always wanted a little brother, but my parents were just too busy to take the time from their careers to make another baby,” Lonzo complained. “I was their first and only accident.”

Lil Haitian Impact - Excerpt

Cover for 'Lil Haitian Impact'

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/38711

I went into the bathroom to shave not realizing that my electric razor would also bring attention to the bedroom I was in. Whoever the female was heard the noise of the electric device. I didn’t realize it, but when I stepped from the bathroom, I was so shocked to see two people standing in the room that my towel fell off. I went to pick it up but…
“Don’t you dare bend down there young man,” the beautiful lady screamed at me.
I bent down once again to try to pick up the towel but she shouted again and kicked the towel away.
“Uh, uh! You get your hands up right now. And if you don’t get your hands up my security guard here will shoot you!”
Embarrassed, I put my arms in the air. I could be undressed in front of the security guard, but not the lady. I felt like throwing up. She was humiliating me. Was she staring at my privates?
“Mmm! Manny, if he moves, you shoot,” she said staring. “What you doing in my house?”
I was too scared to speak, so I just stood there trying to make words come out of my mouth.
The guard talked to the lady.
“Mrs. Monroe, this is a friend of Lonzo’s. I saw him when Lonzo called me to assist him with a problem Friday night. I do believe he’s spending the night. I heard Lonzo call him Lil’ Haitian. I asked your son why he called him by that name. Hell, I was thinking he was a rapper friend, but Lonzo explained that dude here is a native of Haiti.”
The guard cleared his throat and continued.
“Mrs. Monroe, I think you should allow the young man to cover himself."
I could hear the words the guard whispered to her, so I reached for the covers from the bed to place around my waist. I thanked him for allowing me to cover myself.
“I know how you feel about handsome young men, Mrs. Monroe, but at least let dude cover himself.”
“Yeah, I’ll let him stay covered up, but Manny, I sure don’t see why they call him Lil’ Haitian because this dude is packing! And he ain’t so little in other departments either. You see those damn muscles?”
The guard dropped his head with embarrassment and told me to put on my clothes laid out on the bed. I hurriedly reached for the garments and covered up while holding the blanket over my privates. I thanked him again.
“Okay Manny, you can leave now, since you defying my orders,” she said.
The guard left the room. She directed her conversation to me. I was still too afraid to move too far from the spot, so I just stood there. I was nervous, but I guess I didn’t show it because she came close to me.
“So, Lil’ Haitian, what you doing here in my house? Oh, so you a quiet one, huh? There’s no reason to be afraid now. Manny is gone. I’m sorry I made you nervous, but my eyes kind of got a little stuck and well…anyway. So, you are Haitian, huh? You are so tall and handsome, so I don't see why they call you Lil' Haitian. You’re different from Lonzo’s other friends. Well, they are good looking too, well some of them, but you got them beat by a landslide.”
She walked all the way around me and ended up in front of me toe-to-toe.
“Yeah, I like a lot of my son’s friends but…”
She couldn’t complete her sentence because Lonzo walked in.
“Ma, what the hell are you saying to my friend?”
“Boy, this is my damned house and I say to him what the hell I want to say to him!”
“Oh, well let me go and see what dad says about it.”
“No, no, no, son! You got Mommy wrong. I just met your friend and I was just getting to know him. Manny told me who he is.”
“Poor choice of words in getting to know someone, Ma! How many times I got to tell you don’t get fresh with my boys? Dad will kill you if he knew you were doing this flirting shit! You old enough to be his mom!”
“Boy, you know I was younger than your age when I had you, now, and you ain’t too much younger than me, now, so don’t you go rubbing that age-appropriate behavior stuff in my face! Anyway, I’m going to prepare y’all some dinner. And next time, you welcome your Ma home better than that! It was nice to meet you Lil’ Haitian. You come on down and eat and enjoy your stay. And let me know your real name when I see you again. Too many blacks around here have these aliases. Anyway, Lord knows Lonzo has enough company around here, but I don’t mind because he’s been blaming me for years for him not having a brother or sister. See y’all later!”
She kissed Lonzo on his cheek then twisted out of the door. I fell to the bed in relief. Lonzo shouted out after his mom.
“His name is Impact, Ma, for your information.
Lonzo looked at me all apologetically.
“I’m sorry you had to experience that Mom stuff, but I told you about my moms and how she likes young men. She doesn’t care about pushing up on my friends, either. I just pray my dad don’t ever hear her flirting with my boys. She’s right about being close to my age. We grew up some together at grandma’s. It was embarrassing us both in school, so we are more like brother and sister than mom and son."
Lonzo saw the look and my face and asked me a question.
"Man, are you all right? You look like you just saw a monster.”
“Lonzo, your mom had me so scared that I couldn’t speak a word! I couldn’t even move! I thought she was gonna call Immigration. And now that you tell me she had you at a young age, I notice the youthfulness of your parents by the cars in your garage. Your mom looks really, really young.”

Excerpt from my Book - Who You Callin' ____?





https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MatildaWells

“It is always a great accomplishment for our young people to complete high school and obtain a high school diploma. It is a greater accomplishment when young people acquire a college education and obtain a college degree. This is such a blessing to endure the necessary challenges of a tough curriculum to where you have to study hard, but the end results is a gratification you cannot describe or put into words. To hold in your hand a document which can aid and assist you in gaining access to places you have never ever been before. But, don’t forget this book right here. The diploma is much like The Bible I hold in my hand. By studying the curriculum of The Bible, It will aid and assist you to gain access to places you have never ever been before. You have inside of here a curriculum that’s not so tough; all you have to do is follow the words of Christ and your life will follow the fantastic voyage and not a bad voyage. The end results should be one of gratification you cannot describe or put into words. I know your parents are proud of you, but there is a Man who is also proud of you. He is a Parent who sits high and is looking down on you. He has blessed you to get to where you are today. Don’t forget where He’s brought you from. Don’t forget to help the less fortunate. Don’t let obtaining a diploma change who you once were. Sometimes we get on these executive level jobs and make executive level money and get executive level titles and we get so high that we can’t come back down. Then others become less and less important and all that matters in life is your job title, your job, your office, your name on your office door, your employees who you boss, your high class community, your high class house, your luxurious automobile, the expensive clothes and shoes that you wear, your fine jewelry in your ear lobe, on your neck and on your fingers and other private places on your body, your tattoos and your many Boos and your high society lifestyle. I don’t know about you, but I know my God sits high and He looks low. Don’t let your college diploma make you so high that you can’t look low. Let’s not forget God on our journey toward success.”
The congregation is standing on their feet roaring and cheering. The organist is ripping chords on the organ. Some are saying Amen, others are jumping in place praising God and others are attesting to the sermon. It is wild right about now. The preacher waits until all calms down and he makes another announcement.
“Miss Charmaine Geoffrey will bless us with a solo. Instead of the choir singing, Miss Geoffrey will bless us with two song selections.”
There is a sigh from our little section of the church. We are all in shock that Charmaine can even sing. We stand and applaud her as she comes forward to stand in front of the microphone. Everyone is already pumped from the sermon, but when Charmaine starts to sing, the church breaks loose in shouting and praise dancing and speaking in tongue and crying.
Charmaine starts her two gospel song selections. The powerful songs are written by Tillie. Charmaine tilts her head back and starts to sing.

Excerpts From My Book "Who You Callin' ______?"

Comedy Excerpt from my book - "Who You Callin' ___________?"
 
 
 
 
Check out other book titles at :
 
 
There will be times
Friends will let you down
When you need a friend
No one can be found
Going round in circles
Is where I’ve been
Til I found you, Jesus
See, I’ve found a friend in Him

Since I’ve met You, Jesus
...
Love has found its way, in my heart y’all
I don’t have to search, no, no, no, not any longer
Not for another day
When I am lonely and in despair
I just say a little prayer to You, Jesus
Knowing You are there

Chorus
Now, after searching my whole life through
I’ve never found a better friend than You
Now, after searching my whole life through
I’ve never found no one who loves me like You do

Charmaine repeats her verse and chorus and turns the church out! The ushers have to run around and calm down the shouters. There is a shortage of ushers, so there has to be volunteers from the congregation. There are so many shouters and holy-filled members that Charmaine has to wait before singing her next song selection. Between the preacher’s sermon and Charmaine’s song, something has gotten to me too. I’m a sinner sitting here looking stupid. I really don’t know what’s going on inside of me, but something has jumped on me. I guess whatever’s got me has gotten to the lady who is shouting so much that her Sunday hat has flown off and across the church, along with her wig. The force and combination of her hat and wig has knocked off a man’s glasses on his face; now his glasses are broken. I guess I have the same thing as the guy running up the church aisle and back to the entrance door and back to the pulpit again. The ushers stops chasing him and just let him run.
