Love To Luv (14 page)

             
I caught Aunt Aretha in mid run. I had to literally put a lock on her to place her on the couch.

             
We waited five minutes before inviting Avis to have a sit in a chair. She declined the offer.

DENNIS

Why are you here?

JACOB

Better yet how did you get in?

AVIS

I have a key. I wanted to come and get some of Edgar’s things to remember him by.

ARETHA

If you take anything out of here I will
gut
your ass.

AVIS

See that is why he left you.
Your mouth.
No respectable woman would curse like you.

ARETHA

I am about to curse you again.

JACOB

Auntie, be quite for a minute. Avis you cannot take anything from this condo. That would be considered stealing. My aunt told me that she was selling you Uncle Edgar’s house. Don’t you think that is enough?

AVIS

I can’t afford the house.

MATTIE

Oh so you were a little gold digger.

AVIS

No you old bitty.

MATTIE

Somebody better get that
chile
before I
gut
her ass.

DENNIS

Ms. Avis I would advise you to leave.

AVIS

I am going to sue for assault.

ARETHA

Baby I don’t care. You were in my house.

Avis went to grab her purse and other belongings. When she passed Mattie, Mattie jumped off the sofa and yanked her hair. Avis screamed. Mattie looked in her hand to find tracks of hair. Dennis pulled Mattie back and took the hair. He escorted Avis out of the condo and gave her tracks back.

             
I finally let Aunt Aretha go. She spruced off of the couch and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. Dennis fell to the floor with laughter.

JACOB

What is so funny?

DENNIS (laughing)

Mrs. Aretha and Ms. Mattie whipped the girl’s ass. When we came into the living room all I saw was Mrs. Aretha’s arm flying.

JACOB

Boy you stupid.

MATTIE

We should have cake walked her behind.

JACOB (turning towards Aretha)

I thought you had talked to her before and everything was cool.

ARETHA

We did but she had the nerve to tell me what she was “going” to take out of here. Then that wench had the nerve to tell me about her and Edgar’s last days together. While she was talking all I saw was her face hitting my fist.

DENNIS

Ms. Mattie you aren’t any better. You were supposed to be stopping it and you holding the girl so that Aretha could hit her.

MATTIE

Ms. Dionne Warwick said it best.

MATTIE & ARETHA (singing and slapping hands)

That’s what friends are for.

             
During their walk down Bourbon Street Jeremy spotted a man with a cart selling Hurricanes drinks.

JEREMY

My buddy, my friend.
Teddy.

TEDDY

Sup.

JEREMY

Can you hook us up with some Hurricanes?

TEDDY

Man you can buy it. They
ain’t
gonna
check.

JEREMY

What? Are you sure?

TEDDY

Yeah, watch.

Teddy was about to order two Hurricanes when he remembered that Monique was pregnant. He turned and gave her a quick wink. She just turned her head in a playful huff. Teddy decided to go ahead and order all three. They were served in a thirty-two inch bong shape container. Teddy gave the man thirty dollars and handed Jeremy and Ian theirs.

JEREMY & IAN

Thanks.

Taking a few sips Ian mentioned that they were strong and he already felt his head swimming. Jeremy was determined to make his head spin. He took three big sips of the cocktail. He stopped in his step because of a brain freeze. He placed his hand on his head and closed his eyes tightly. Everyone stopped and looked at him. The
freeze begin
to lighten up and Jeremy started to walk again.

             
Monique told the guys that she was hungry. It had been a few hours since they last ate. They agree to stop at a jazz café to order something else to eat. Jeremy and Ian order a small Shrimp
Remoulade
and Flash Fried Crispy Crawfish Tails to share. Monique are Teddy order some Jambalaya each.

             
They sat and talked about the tours of the
RiverWalk
and the mall. Ian spoke about a guy he saw in the mall that approached him in the shoe store. He
describe
the guy as being about 5’8”, weighing around 138 pounds and had a light complexion. This did not sit well with Jeremy.

JEREMY

Did you find out the kind of drawers he had on?

IAN

What are you talking about?

JEREMY

You describing
him with full details. Is that where you went when you said you had to go to the restroom?

IAN

Don’t drink anymore.

JEREMY

I will drink what I want.

IAN

Alright, well you do you.

Jeremy was behaving out of his normal character. Ian wondered was he jealous.

             
Between eating, Monique showed the guys some of the things that she had bought for the baby. She bought a few clothes even though she didn’t know the sex of the baby. She showed the rattle, some bottles, and a silver spoon. Teddy wanted to see what was in the bag on her right but she would not show him

             
After they finished eating, Ian picked up the check. Jeremy suggested they find a club to go to. Monique reminded them that she do not do clubs. Teddy said that he and Monique
was
going to head back to the hotel. He wanted to make sure that she got plenty of rest. Ian and Jeremy went to
Cafe Lafitte in Exile.

IAN

Lafitte's is the oldest gay bar in the country and has a long and interesting history. During his years in New Orleans, Tennessee Williams used to frequent Lafitte's. Lafitte's has two floors of music and video. Downstairs is the main bar. Upstairs there is a pool table and the balcony!
It's also a popular spot for straight locals and the adventurous tourist. Legend has it that Tennessee Williams was a patron of this establishment.

Jeremy was baffled by this knowledge that Ian knew about this club. He wanted to ask how
did he know
this but he decided against it.

             
Back at the hotel Teddy was in the garden tub relaxing with candles lit around them. Monique was laid back into his chest while he rubbed her stomach.

TEDDY

What do you think we will have?

MONIQUE

I don’t know. I think it will probably be a boy.

TEDDY

Why do you say that?

MONIQUE

‘Cause that’s what you want.

TEDDY (smiling)

I just want a healthy baby.

MONIQUE

True but you know you want a boy.

TEDDY

No for real.
I wouldn’t mind having a daddy’s girl but I would like a son to carry my name. What do you want?

MONIQUE

I don’t know. Pop wants a girl.

TEDDY

Really?
I never would have thought.

MONIQUE

Yeah that surprised me too.

Teddy and Monique finished their tub bath. Monique sat on the bed and put some lotion over herself. Teddy put on some oil and a pair of shorts.

             
They were relaxing in the bed when there was a knock at their door. Teddy got up and looked through the peephole. It was Dennis and I. Teddy opened the door to let us in.

MONIQUE

Hey what are you all about to do?

JACOB

R-E-L-A-X.
Your aunt got into a fight.

TEDDY

WHAT!?

DENNIS

Yes. We went to …oh I apologize this is your family story.

JACOB

No go ahead and tell it.

DENNIS

We went to look at the condo. Edgar’s mistress was there. She and Mrs. Aretha exchanged some words and it went from there.

Monique was laughing so hard that she started coughing.

TEDDY

Who won?

JACOB

You got two best friends fighting one woman, who do you think won?

TEDDY (eyes bulging)

They double-teamed her?

DENNIS

Yes. I guess I will have to prepare some briefs for her.

JACOB

You better prepare more than that. You better get some bond money. Well look I am about to retire for the night. Where are Jeremy and Ian?

MONIQUE

They went to a club.

JACOB

If they get in any trouble they are on their own.

Aretha went in the bathroom to take her shower for the night. She looked in the mirror first and noticed that she had a few scratches on her face.
“That hussy scratched me.”
She walked out of the bathroom to show Mattie. She found Mattie
laying
across the bed fully dressed – asleep. Aretha just shook her head and went back in the bathroom. 

About two o’clock the next morning, Ian and Jeremy was just walking into their room. Monique and Teddy were cradled in each other arms asleep.

Ian went into the bathroom and began to take off his clothes for a shower. He stuck his head out of the bathroom and beckoned for Jeremy. Jeremy crawled into the bathroom because he was too inebriated to walk. Ian helped him off of the floor. He thought that maybe he should have fixed a tub bath because with Jeremy being 6’4” and weighing close to 225 pounds, it was a job holding him up.

Once Ian helped Jeremy with his bath and cleaned himself up they went straight to bed.

A quick burst of energy hit Jeremy like lighting in the sky. Jeremy reached over and grabbed Ian head and pushed him down to his mid-section. Without hesitation he began to deep throat Jeremy’s dick without a flinch. Jeremy grabs on Ian head and starts fucking his hungry mouth and to his surprise Ian swallows him whole without a problem.

             
Ian decided that it was time to bring Jeremy to a very good night’s sleep. With a powerful clench of his jaws Ian took Jeremy thick dick down his throat and held it. Jeremy could not hold back any longer so he released all that creamy cum down Ian throat. This brought Ian to a gut-wrenching orgasm without touching himself. 

             
Early Saturday morning Aretha, Mattie and Dennis went back to the condo. Aretha felt that she would give it a once over again in peace. Upon arriving at the condo Mattie finished her
Washbucket
Martini that she ordered before leaving the hotel. She placed the cup in the holder and tripped over her heel getting out of the car. She quickly got herself together.

             
As they enter the condo Aretha slowly walked in looking around. Dennis was behind her and Mattie followed. Aretha told them that she was going to keep the place since there was no mortgage on it. Dennis thought that it was a great idea and told her that he would make sure all the paperwork was in order.
             

             
Mattie went into the kitchen and started to look through the cabinets. There were plenty of dishes and some new ones in the closet by the laundry room.

             
Aretha went into the master bedroom and set on the bed to look around for a moment. Again she thought about the good times that she and Edgar shared. She wondered what she did to make him betray her. Did he lose interest in her? Was she not fulfilling him sexually? Were the conversations not interesting? Was she working too much? Did he just want something extra on the side? Why do people cheat she asked herself?
“Ok Aretha get
yourself
together. Edgar is gone now. There is no point in crying. What’s done is done. He got what he wanted.”
