“Damn!” Mimi said as she saw the bills spill out of the bag.
“I thought they weren't gonna know we had anything to do with it!” Tasha yelled. “What if these niggas come after us?”
Manolo calmly said, “They won't. It's a million bitches in this city. You won't run into them niggas again.” He sat down and started counting the money.
Tasha calmed down and sat beside him as she watched.
Honey grabbed all the jewelry from the table and put it in the bag that Manolo had put the money in. “We'll pawn this shit first thing tomorrow,” she said.
Manolo finished counting the money, and then announced, “Seventeen thousand five hundred.”
Honey laughed. “Damn!”
Manolo handed her $8,750, and she then divided it equally between her friends. Each girl left his house with a little over $2,000.
When they got back to the house, Tasha walked into her bedroom and lay in her bed. She looked at her old cell phone and checked her messages. There were no messages in her phone. She had hoped that Joe might have called her, but it was apparent that he had either forgotten about her, or wanted to forget about her. She wished he'd told her how he felt about her. One of the main reasons why she'd left New York was because she thought she didn't have anyone there.
He didn't act like he wanted to be with me. Fuck him!
Tasha put her old phone in an old shoebox and tossed it under her bed. She sat back on her bed, and visions of what had just happened popped into her head. All she could think about was the look on the guys' faces when Manolo busted out of the bathroom. She remembered how the particular guy she was talking to didn't even take his eyes off of her as they were being robbed. She heard Rico's threats play in her head over and over again, and hoped she'd never run into him on the street. She lay down in her bed and fell asleep.
By the time Tasha woke up the next morning, all of her friends were already up and dressed. They were excited, talking about what had happened the night before at the hotel.
Amra walked into the room and sat down at the end of Tasha's bed. “It's about time you woke up. We were just talking about last night. That shit was crazy! It was easy money.”
Tasha was still a little skeptical about what they'd done, but the money made her feel better about it. “Hell yeah! Two grand ain't bad for a couple hours work.”
Amra nodded. “Come on, get up. Tammy got some food down there,” she said, and left the room.
Tasha got out of bed and walked downstairs and into the kitchen. She smelled the aroma of eggs, bacon, and pancakes, and immediately grabbed a plate. “Hey, Tammy.” Tasha opened the refrigerator and poured herself some orange juice.
“Morning, baby girl,” Tammy greeted back.
Tasha sat down at the table next to Honey and ate her food.
Just as Amra was about to sit down next to Mimi, her cell phone rang. She put down her plate and picked it up. “Hello?”
“What up, ma?”
Amra frowned up, not recognizing the deep, melodic voice on the other end. “Who is this?” she asked.
“Lloyd.”
Amra smiled as she remembered the dude she'd met at the party the night before. With all the action that had happened last night, he'd slipped her mind. She was glad he'd called though. He was fine, and she liked his style. He hadn't approached her with lame lines like so many other men did.
“What do you have planned for today?” he asked her.
“Nothing. Why? What's up with you?” She was hoping he would say he wanted to see her.
Mimi laughed and whispered, “Damn! Amra's blushing and shit.”
Honey and Tasha laughed loudly.
Amra put the cell phone to her chest. “Shh!” Then she put the phone back up to her ear. “Where you at?”
“I'm at the crib, but I'm trying to come see you.”
Amra smiled. “Trying to, or going to?”
Lloyd laughed. “Where you stay? I'll pick you up.”
“Hold on, okay?” Amra put the phone to her chest then looked at her friends. “He wants to come pick me up. What do I say?”
Mimi frowned. “Say yeah, bitch!”
Honey hit Mimi on the arm and quickly said, “No! Say no! Nobody should know where we stay at. Shit, we don't know who knows who in Flint. We don't want none of them niggas from last night to find us. He doesn't need to know where you live.”
Amra nodded her head. “I'll meet you. Where you trying to eat at?”
Lloyd told Amra to just come to his house.
An hour later, Mimi dropped Amra off at Lloyd's house, an average-looking two-story brownstone. The inside wasn't too spectacular either. Amra just figured that he spent his money on other things.
“How long I got you for?” He asked her as he sat next to her on his couch.
Amra shrugged her shoulders. “How long you wanna have me for?”
Lloyd licked his lips then kissed her. She didn't resist either. She was just as ready as he was to get shit popping. She didn't want him to think she was a ho though, so she pulled away from him.
“Don't trip. We can just chill.”
Amra nodded. She said, “Let's do something.” She wanted to get out of his house as soon as possible. She knew that she would eventually give up the ass if there was a bed or a couch around.
Hell, I'll fuck him on the floor!
she thought as he walked her out of the door.
They got into a black Ford Navigator. The inside of his truck was right. He had TV's in his headrests, and a DVD in his glove compartment.
“Let's go shopping,” Lloyd said.
That's what the fuck I'm talking about! Buy me some shit!
Lloyd pulled up to the mall, and they got out and went into the store. Amra was geeked.
This nigga 'bout to buy me some shit, and this is my first time chilling with him.
Lloyd walked through the mall with Amra walking proudly by his side. They went into almost every store and bought clothes, shoes, and jewelry. “You hungry?” he asked her as they passed the food court.
Amra smiled. “Yeah.”
By the time they left the mall, their hands were filled with bags. Unfortunately for Amra, none of the bags belonged to her.
I can't believe he had me walking around the mall for six hours, and the only thing he bought me was some food!
She was salty, but she didn't let him know that.
They went back to his house. They talked and got to know each other a little better. It was late, and Amra was ready to go home, but she didn't want Lloyd to know where she lived. “Can I use your bathroom?” she asked.
Lloyd pointed toward it, and she got up and walked down the hall. She picked up her phone and dialed Mimi's number. Mimi didn't answer, so she tried Tasha. When Tasha didn't answer, she hung up.
It ain't even no use in calling Honey. They are probably all together anyway.
She walked back out and sat next to Lloyd.
They stayed up until three in the morning, talking to each other, and she was glad she'd stayed.
When Lloyd led Amra into his bedroom, she asked him sweetly, “Do you have something I can sleep in?”
Lloyd threw her a white T-shirt, and watched Amra take off her clothes. He saw her skinny body and her big breasts and grabbed her from behind.
Amra got in the bed with him and got close to him. She felt that he wanted her, but she was still upset that he hadn't bought her anything from the mall.
No ass for you,
she thought as she pressed her body against his as hard as she could, teasing him, trying to show him what he was missing. She turned around, and he put his arm around her, and they both went to sleep.
The ringing of her cell phone woke her up the next day. “Yeah?” she answered sleepily.
A concerned Tasha was on the phone, “You alright?”
“Yeah, I'm cool. Come pick me up.”
Amra quietly got out of Lloyd's bed, put on her jeans, kept on his shirt, grabbed her purse, and walked out of the house. She waited outside for her friends. They finally pulled up, and she got into the car.
“What happened?” Mimi asked.
“Nothing, really. We just chilled.”
Honey laughed in disbelief. “Okay, just chilled.”
Amra was too tired to argue with her friends. She shook her head. “Okay, I'm trying to tell y'all hoes that nothing happened. We were just chilling. We went to the mall, got something to eat, and we talked the whole night.”
Honey shook her head. “So, where yo' bags at?”
“He didn't buy me anything.”
Mimi yelled,
“What?”
Tasha laughed. “Dang! They just met. Y'all know a nigga ain't about to come out his pockets for a chick he just met.”
“So you didn't fuck him?” Mimi asked.
“No.”
Honey said, “As fine as he is, I would have.”
They all laughed as they headed back to the house.
Lloyd woke up to an empty bed. He searched his house, expecting Amra to be there.
She cool,
he thought to himself. He was feeling her because she didn't trip when he didn't buy her anything at the mall.
I ain't looking for a money-hungry bitch.
He went into his bathroom and ran a shower. He liked that she didn't let him fuck her on the first night. Not many chicks would've done that.
He came back into the bedroom and saw her shirt lying on the floor.
I'll call her and tell her I'll bring it to her,
he thought. That would be a good excuse to see her again.
Amra smiled to herself, thinking about how much money she was about to get out of Lloyd. She knew he had it. She just had to get close to him. She had already decided that she was gonna fuck him, and felt he may as well pay for it. She went into her room and closed the door.
I hope he calls me,
she thought to herself. If he called her first, then he was really interested. If she had to call him, that meant he wasn't really feeling her.
