She didn’t know what she had been expecting. All the parties she’d gone to back home had been in The Bluff. That’s where her people stayed and
the ones that didn’t stay there, were down to ride over with her. A party in Lithonia was pretty far and between and anytime they actually happened,
everyone wishes they hadn’t. So a good party at a rich dude’s house wasn’t something she had experienced before and when she actually
pulled up to the place she was pretty sure this experience would be like the last. It was dead silent outside of his place and if it hadn’t been for
a few flashing colors in the windows she would have thought she was in the wrong place...She swore if this shit had been a waste of time...well no it
couldn’t be that, she knew he at least had good weed, so worse came to worse she would at least get lifted before she rolled out. God she hoped this
wasn’t no lame shit...
She had not hoped in vain. As she reached the front door to his place, things remained quiet, but as soon as the door was opened she was bombarded
with smoke, music, and the stare of some guy she otherwise would never have spoken to. She had no idea what kind of walls this place was made of, but
if it was holding all this shit in, she could only guess what lied in the dark behind the door. “Looks like AJW sent us the best of the best...-,”
A comment from the boy that had opened the door, his eyes roaming her body as if he owned it already. Ugh.
“Excuse yourself-,” she pushed past him, her hand meeting the center of his chest as she stepped through the smokey veil at the front door.
Bodies. There were at least a hundred people in the kid’s living room alone and a quick scan of the room didn’t do any good in helping
her find the only person she knew...Where was Koi? Would she be playing herself if she texted him? Koi - 19-11-2011 at 04:03 PM
The bass of the music streaming from his Pops' surround sound system filled the darkened room. The lights were lowered, save for the dimmed ones from
the top floor and one of his friends, who was playing DJ that night, already had people acting up on the dance floor. People who Koi didn't even know
had stormed the place. But he only had himself to thank for that shit as he'd made SURE that every kid in Kapuhai Reef knew about the party going down
night. Some of his boys had even gotten the message to a couple of girls they were smashing out who went to AJW High, the public school on the other
side of the island. After that, they knew the party was going to be massive. There were people there from KPA too, but AJW was deep in the place. Not
a problem, though as those kids knew how to party. And thankfully, everything had turned out motherfucking lovely. There was so much kush in the air
that they were breathing straight contact. Fuck oxygen. He leaned against one of the couches that had been pushed against the wall, his boys posting
up with him, watching the girls wine and juke on the floor.
"And I'm fuckin' her...and I'mma do that bitch...and I'mma do her doggy 'cause she ain't that cute..." Koi's laugh was probably the loudest as he
listened to one of his boys rant...high as a the empire state about the girls he was about to do that night. And these were the good times.
The times when nothing mattered but the party and the weed and the love. It didn't matter what happened on the other side of that weekend. The colors
lights mattered. The high mattered. And that's all that Koi gave a fuck about.
With a pound, he couldn't help but agree with his boy about the choice on his "do me" list. The girls he'd pointed out were bad as hell and obviously
from AJW as they were putting it on...heavy. Wasn't a big surprise though. AJW girls watched KPA boys, hard. And why wouldn't they? KPA meant money,
prestige, and privilege. Wasn't hard to figure out why they meant so much to girls like that. Most of them had only seen lifestyles like his on MTv
and to get something like it, they'd do anything. And he meant anything...just to get a taste.
"Fuck your list, dude. I've got the one in the tight jeans...yeah...her." Koi's eyes followed where his other friend was pointing, falling on
a girl who was dancing with her friend across the room. She was cute. No lie. Cute little ass, too. Just as bad, but not enough to keep Koi's eye. The
only girl that was had failed to show up that night, which was cool. Koi had extended the invitation, she'd said maybe. Guess she'd opted
out. Her loss.
"Shit...the fuck is that?" Looking to the right, Koi saw his friend lean forward, the look of "anxious motherfucker" spread over his face. Koi's eyes
followed his gaze and a small smile met his lips as he found...Devyn. She came. Devyn - 19-11-2011 at 05:13 PM
She was already kind of loving it. The music was right, the people were hype, and she already caught a little bit of a contact high in this room full
of smoke. She would have liked it a little more if she had a drink or two in her hand but, she could probably get one of those once she found the
host. She’d low key been hyped about this since he’d invited her and even though she’d never admit it, she’d spent an hour putting this outfit together and as she’d promised when she committed to coming, she was the baddest bitch in the building. There were maybe...two other
females on her level that night, but like their basic and busted counterparts they were thirsty as hell. She watched as one girl kissed another for
the entertainment of a kid with a way too hype look on his face, while another female twirked the shit out of some guy...she didn’t have the ass for
it though.
There was plenty of fun being had by all. All except her...She was feeling it or whatever but, if Koi didn’t make his presence known soon she was
going to be out. She didn’t know anyone here and it made shit kind of awkward. Of course there were some who were more than willing to make friends
with her. Her thoughts halted and her search stopped as she felt a hand grip her ass. THE FUCK?! She swatted at the hand, her open hand
giving the boy warning before her fists went to work. “‘Damn, baby what’s the problem?” His hands went up in a form of surrender that only
made her want to fuck him up even more. The problem?
“Your got damn hands are the problem. Keep them to your self-,” she warned, her eyes narrowing as she turned her back to him beginning her trip
across the room again. She was sure she heard the word ‘bitch’ slip from his lips but, she let it ride. The place was big enough for her not to
see him anymore and...oh. Again her attention was diverted as her eyes fell on a familiar face. And he had the cutest little smirk on his
face...God she wanted to sit on hi--No. He hadn’t earned that yet...A smirk to match his fell on her lips as she made her way to where he
and his boys were lounging. She nodded at the group collectively, a short ‘fellas’ on her lips as a form of greeting before her eyes fell on
Koi’s.
“This looks like where the VIP niggas be at-,” she teased. Koi - 19-11-2011 at 06:14 PM
Even in the dim room, through the kush haze, through the foggy high, he could see Devyn. Clear as fucking day. He couldn't help smiling as he saw her
parting through the crowd towards where he sat. A quiet chorus of mingling "Damn"s and "Fuck"s streamed from his boys' mouths. In that outfit, those
sounds had to have been her theme music that night. Everywhere that she walked, wearing that? Yeah, Koi was sure she'd heard it playing on repeat.
Silently, he watched her as his friends went on about her, how they were definitely adding her to their queues, making an honorary space for a "bitch
as bad as that". How AJW was about to get five new students because they were transferring for that ass. But Koi just watched, that smile never
leaving his lips. She hadn't noticed him yet, but he was definitely watching her, barely staying propped on the arm of the couch as he undressed her
with his eyes. Seemed to be a fucking habit with her...him, undressing her as he watched her that is. But could anybody blame a nigga? After setting
eyes on her, he knew they wouldn't.
Finally, her eyes met the back wall where he was posted, her lips curling up as soon as her head turned in his direction. And just like that, he could
tell that she'd seen him. Was he going to move from the spot where he was? Hell no. She would make her way back to him. And he didn't want to say it,
but...there was something about having something that bodied walk up to him. Ego stroke? Yeah, he'd admit to that.
"Nigga, did you hear us? You starin' hard as hell." With a start, Koi turned to his friend's voice hesitantly. Without saying two words, he smiled
again ignoring the "Ah shit, target spotted!" and the loud laughs that followed. Yeah, target spotted. Watching Devyn make her way towards him, his
eyes traced her body, licking his lips as he took her completely in. He made it all the way to her hips before he stopped. Damn, he was caught up
watching them roll as she walked; she had a walk twice her damn age and Koi had a hard time believing that she didn't know it. Half the guys in the
room knew she did. Koi watched as she walked through the crowd. Eyes left the bodies of other girls and settled on hers. One dude even had the nuts to
even reach out and grab her ass. Yeah, Koi could've told him that shit wasn't a good idea as she turned, looking like she could have slapped the shit
out of him. With a quiet laugh, Koi adjusted his hat and stood up.
Watching her as she walked up to him, addressing his boys before she spoke to him, he put his hands in the pockets of his letter jacket, smiling at
her joke as his eyes got a better look at her close up. Fucking spectacular.
"Fuck yeah, baby. You back here where the party's really at!" One of his friends spoke first, Koi's eyes looking back at him before he looked back to
Devyn, his eyes connected with hers.
"Waddup, hips?" He said quietly, smirking at her again.Devyn - 19-11-2011 at 07:53 PM
He was real fresh tonight. She wasn’t even going to front on him. Every guy looked good in a suit and tie, so she wasn’t going to pretend she
hadn’t fantasized about stripping him out of his uniform but, he had swag in his street clothes too. Hipster swag but, swag none the less. She
fucked with it. Or at least she wanted to. And with the sexy ass smirk on his lips, he wanted her to fuck with him too. Hard and fast. Of
course, the same thing could be said for a few of the guys in the room. Sure, other girls still maintained the attention of most, but she could feel
eyes on her...and she could see the eyes of Koi’s crew on her, the boys exchanging daps as she witnessed the thirst in a few of them, automatically
writing them off. Thirst wasn’t sexy...Koi just stared. And she found that shit sexy as hell. Fuck...
She could tell he was waiting for her. That was cute. Sure, for all she knew a bitch had just hopped off his dick for a glass of water and she just
happened to spot him at the right time but, the fact that he wasn’t surrounded by bitches meant something. And the niggas he chose to align himself
with weren’t bad either. A couple of them she might let feed her...once. A couple she’d smash...maybe...But Koi...She couldn’t help the smirk on
her lips either as she approached.
Devyn’s first words were to him but, one of his over anxious friends replied. She thought about playing his life but, decided against it, a sweet
smile on her lips as she winked at him a little. See? She could be nice. That and she didn’t want Koi to think he was special or no shit like
that...not yet anyway. Koi eyed the boy and the friend shut up, his eyes still silently lusting over her. She playfully rolled her eyes as Koi spoke
to her. Hips? That’s what he was interested in, huh? “Well this hipster kid told me that I wouldn’t regret coming to this
“kickback”-,” she made air quotes around the word as she spoke, smirk never falling from her lips.
“I mean, it’s iight, but...I’m not sure why I’m still sober...” She smirked, hoping either he or one of the boys would take a hint. Could
she get something in her system please? Koi - 19-11-2011 at 09:02 PM
Hell yeah. Hips. Koi knew that wasn't her damn name. He knew exactly who the fuck she was when she walked up to him, that smile that matched
his wearing on her lips like lipstick. But he called her out of her name for two reasons. One, his eyes could barely detach themselves from her
goddamned hips. He would've watched those things all night if she let him. She had a sweet ass little body, but the one part of it that had him shook
was definitely underneath her jeans. Second reason? He wanted his boys to realize that he and Devyn already had history. He knew her, she knew him.
And despite the way they started, it had ended with her here, smirking at him with the same lust that he carried in his eyes. Yeah, she wasn't really
an option for anyone else in the room, as far as he was concerned. Marking his territory? Maybe. But he could tell her, if she wanted to know...if she
was checking for anything in that room that could do it better than Koi, her search would be fucking futile. Not even his boys would get the
"recommendation" because they'd just be a waste of her time. But she could believe that Koi wouldn't waste a single second.
"Hipster kid? Damn, wonder who that could've been?" He joked back, checking his peripheral, checking for his friends' faces. Yeah, they were figuring
it out. He could see the question in their faces, asking shit with their eyes that their mouths were hesitating to bring up. How the fuck does he
know her?Who the hell is this girl? "Either way, you're here. Guess you took that hipster kid's word? Seems like a pretty smart ass
cat." Biting his lip as he smiled at her again, letting their game keep going, the crazy, jealous ass looks he was getting from his boys kept coming
too. Just a sign that a fine bitch could turn the best of friends into serious competition.
"I don't know why you still sober either, ma. But I can fix that for you..." Again, his boy spoke out of turn. Without even turning around, he rolled
his eyes at him and shook his head. Derrick, also known as the fucking "chatty" one, was always a little bit more...excited and outspoken than the
rest of the group. He was wild, that was for damn sure. Said whatever he felt. And usually, it didn't bother Koi too much, but that night it was
grating his damn nerves.
"Derrick, she's not talking to you...damn." He said, a soft frown meeting his brow as he pulled the blunt that he'd freaked earlier from behind his
ear, holding it in front of himself so that Devyn could see it. "I got you, Hips." Pulling his other hand from his jacket pocket and produced
the platinum-plated Zippo his father got him on a "let's be friends" kind of trip and placed the blunt between his lips, lighting it. He puffed it
quickly, blowing the smoke in the air as he handed it to Devyn, pulling her closer to the couch so that she could pass that shit.
"Look at you. Getting the special treatment from the host. Quid pro quo..." With a glint of mischief in his eyes, he kept his gaze on Devyn.Devyn - 19-11-2011 at 09:45 PM
Ha. She liked it. His little nickname for her. Hips. It rolled off his tongue the way she walked; smooth and she liked it. Maybe
because she liked the way he sounded when he said it, his words coated in lust under a low tone...or maybe it was the way his friends looked when he
said it. Salty, like they knew he’d already gotten the goods and they couldn’t have what they so desperately wanted...Or maybe it was just because
she would love nothing more than to have him between her thighs, his hands gripping the shit out of her hips as he ate it like his last meal...Mmmm.
She had to stop. She hadn’t been here for a half hour and already she was debating giving him the goods? Was it that serious? Kind of. She was going
through a little bit of a drought. The move to Kapuhai Reef meant stating over. She hadn’t had sex in over a month and it was obvious she was
craving. And Koi was just the guys to curb that for her. Her body was calling out for him and she was sure he’d have no issues responding.
She chuckled a little as he played off her hipster kid comment, complimenting himself at the same time. Cute. Yeah the hipster kid was pretty smart
but, he still hadn’t solved her current problem. A drink, a blunt, some dick. She needed something in her body to get her going, preferably either
of the first two until she knew who she was dealing with. Koi was cool, but she wasn’t too keen on the “no fun unless the homies get some”
motto. Her goods weren’t for everybody and not everyone was worthy...The friend, Derrick, he was trying ever so hard to change her opinion of his
worth with his every word. It wasn’t working. She was about to politely let him know that, but Koi did first...less than politely though.
I got you, Hips. That was all she needed to hear. Koi was fucking perfect. He knew what she fucking liked and that shit was sexy as hell,
too. She watched him light it, taking a short hit before passing it to her, pulling her closer to the group so she could pass. She toked, and somehow
the shit he’d given her was better than the previous, the shit she got at KPA? That shit made her moan...this shit made her wet.
Koi spoke as she let the smoke sit in her chest, the direct high mixing with her contact. Ha! This guy...She exhaled, blowing the smoke up as she
giggled a bit.
“Quid pro quo huh?” She smirked, her eyes finding his as she handed off the blunt to one of his friends. “Well maybe you should tell me
what you want in return and you’ll see what I can do...” Yeah...He’d see. Koi - 19-11-2011 at 10:38 PM
What did Koi want from her? To get in between it, obviously. But that wasn't something that he thought her ears were ready to hear. Yeah, they'd been
giving each other eyes for a moment now, that shit had started at KPA from the moment that her hand found his tie. But he knew that she wasn't ready
for him yet. Maybe because he felt like she was holding back. Her eyes said sex, but her actions didn't quite say the same yet. But she didn't have to
worry, because when her actions matched the eye-fuck she was sending him, she wouldn't have to worry about him complying. He didn't hesitate when the
light switched to "green". As quick as he answered her request for something to get her nice, she needed to know that he'd be even quicker the next
time she asked for something to put between her lips...
"Quid pro quo. An exchange. But I know you already figured that out..." He answered her, smiling at her light giggle as his eyes followed the
direction of the blunt. Yeah, he had to watch those niggas. Not that they were trifling, but the shit that Koi brought to the party was good and that
meant people got greedy. He looked back to her when he figured out what way it was going...and when he heard the rest of her comment. Tell her what he
wanted? Okay, he could do-damn. For a moment, the buzz getting the best of him, he swore his mind slipped into every possibility and scenario
of what she'd just told him. You'll see what I can do... Shit. What could she do? Looking at the spread of those hips, her perfect lips...and
that shirt that was barely holding all of her in, his mind was coming up with some pretty interesting answers.
With his mouth fixed to answer, he leaned towards her, only to be fucking interrupted by Derrick's dumb ass. Yeah, so Hips...that your name or you
go a government one that you care to share? Before he could catch himself, his lip curled as he looked to the side again, some of his boys
laughing softly at the stiffening of his back and Derrick's persistent ass. Why wouldn't he shut the fuck up? Apparently Devyn wasn't even talking to
his ass. She was up in his space. Koi's. She wasn't studyin' anybody posted on that goddamn wall BUT him. Derrick couldn't see that though.
Guess he thought this was a fucking group activity. It fucking wasn't. And what was concerning him even more? The fact that he was so annoyed by it.
He knew Derrick. He knew his backstory and his need to be right in the center...where the attention was. So, why the fuck was it irritating him so
badly?
"Derrick. The fuck?" Turning around completely, he caught Derrick's eyes, his friend looking as confused as he felt. He needed to get a damn grip. It
wasn't that serious right? With a heavy sigh, he turned back around, his eyes rounding out as he looked at Devyn, a smile following the expression,
just hoping to cut the "tense" in the moment.Devyn - 19-11-2011 at 11:31 PM
Quid pro quo. This was an exchange of goods. She was getting his time and his bud so, she probably owed him double...But she was eye fucking the shit
out of him so maybe they were closer to even than she thought. She would love for them to get even closer though, the mere thought of sex with a
little hash in her system bringing her to the edge. Damn it, for the first time in her life she wished she was fucking easy. Self-respect be damned,
she wanted Koi in her bed, underneath her body, while she rode him like that last bus back to Georgia. Was that too much to ask for? Not at all. She
knew he was more than willing to comply, but something in her wouldn’t let her ask him for it. She knew guys like Koi and playing into their hype
only ended in you getting played...then used...then played again before they called it quits and let you rot in a fucking rehabilitation clinic with
no family and no...woah. Weed had her slipping...
She tuned back in just in time to watch his face change as he realized what she’d really said to him. His smirk became a kind of mischievous smile
and he leaned in to her, a response on his lips ready to spill into the air around him until...FUCK! What the fuck was this kid’s problem?
Did he not understand the concept of a cock-block? Because he was one. A big one. If Koi was trying to get fucking laid tonight his boy had to go. He
talked too damn much and it was turning her all the way off...She sighed as Koi turned on him, Derrick’s face slipping into confusion as Koi turned
back to her. Mm. He didn’t get it? She could explain. She’d have to be careful though. Derrick was fucking up this hook up on her end but
completely playing him would probably fuck it up on Koi’s...she’d be sweet. She shifted her attention, her body coming closer to Koi’s and her
eyes finding Derrick as she thought of a way to word what she had to say without being rude.
“Derrick, baby...-,” I’m trying to get fucking laid...That was what pushed at her lips but, she held back, knowing how the thirst made
someone look, “What you’re doing is cute but, stop-,” She could make it real clear for him if he wanted. He eyes shifted then falling on Koi as
she finished.
“‘Hips’ is...just for him...” she paused letting the shit sink in for a second before she got friendly again, “...but you can call me
Devyn.” Koi - 20-11-2011 at 12:05 AM
Koi was caught. Like seriously caught as to what to do about Derrick's loose ass, loud ass mouth. Any other day, it wouldn't have mattered too much.
Koi didn't mess with his boy too much about the "vomit mouth" he caught on some occasions. It wasn't too hard to figure out Derrick. Middle child,
three siblings and two doctors for parents. He got attention where he could find it, which was usually drawing it to himself. And Koi didn't sweat it.
Usually, he liked to ride the background...just do his thing. He didn't need to be the center of shit. He knew how to survive if attention was short.
That was his fucking life. People all up his ass was his last concern as he didn't have in the first place. But that night, shit was different. Real
talk, he didn't mother fucking want to share. He was being a stubborn ass brat that night. Whether it was conversation, a dance, a smoke, whatever the
fuck...he wanted Devyn to himself. Because she was looking too good to share, too good to even take his eyes off of her and too good to let his boy
keep blocking, no matter how close they were. But what the fuck was he supposed to say? Shut the fuck up and find something useful to do with your
mouth...? Yeah...no. He couldn't figure it out, so he wasn't gone say a damn thing until he could.
Only, it looked like someone was about to beat him to the punch. Watching Devyn's eyes shift attention, her body drawing closer to his, chest nearly
touching his, he looked over his shoulder, the rest of his friends taking pause as they waited for what Devyn had to say. When she started, an
expression of "well, damn" settled on his face. He looked away from Derrick, not even wanting to see the embarrassment settling there and back at
Devyn, who was letting him down as easy as she could. Koi couldn't act surprised. He knew that it was coming. His homie was coming off to damn
desperate, his lips nearly flying off his damn face to answer every comment that Devyn made, whether it was directed to him or not. He had to chill
out with that. Usually girls played into that shit, but Devyn was a different caliber. And she...
What? Hips is...just for him... Koi almost did a fucking double take. Staring at her as she said what she had to say, his jaw clenched...in
an effort to not grab her ass up and take her upstairs. Instead, he looked to the side, catching Derrick out of the side of his eye, his smirk
directed right at his boy before he set his gaze back on Devyn. And there it was. Territory had been marked. His gaze didn't even end as she
introduced herself. He just kept looking at her, one of his hands coming to her hip, pulling her into him, grasp moving under her blazer...just so he
could touch her skin. What? That shit fucking turned him on. Maybe she should've used different words if she didn't want to be snatched up.
And that was the end of the conversation. They didn't need to know more about her as there was nothing to know outside of the fact that tonight, she'd
be in his room...no use coming and looking for something that wasn't going to need to be found.
Clearing his throat, he smiled again, nodding to his boy to pass him the blunt that had made its' way through his boys. He took it from him, took a
long inhale, holding it in his throat as he lowered his mouth to Devyn's. Lips almost touching, he let the thick smoke curl from his barely opened
mouth, licking his lips as it coiled between them. Yeah, fuck talking. Devyn - 20-11-2011 at 07:29 AM
He was just so fucking...extra. What kind of friend blocked this fucking hard over ass he was obviously not getting? Shit was rude
and fucking unnecessary and if no one else was going to call him on his shit, Dev would. There were a few ways it could have gone. She should have
told him how his thirst was on a whole other level right now. She could have told him how fucking needy he looked jumping at her every comment. She
could have told him just how fucking played he was looking right about now but, she didn’t. She let him down as easy as she could, still watching
his face fall a little as she made it completely clear who had her attention right now. Koi. And whether he wanted to or not, he wasn’t sharing.
Although no one would ever get her to admit it, she’d come for him, and she wasn’t leaving until she got what she wanted from him...seemed to be
happening a lot...him having what she wanted that was. Yeah, Derrick had to calm down.
And Koi agreed and approved, that smirk coming back to his lips as she told his friend that ‘Hips’ was his and his alone. The name and her actual
hips if he played his cards right. She’d chosen. Derrick would have to find what he needed elsewhere, poor thing. Tonight she belonged to Koi and
she was perfectly fine with that...as was he, his hand coming to hold the hips he loved so much, slipping beneath her blazer so that his skin touched
hers. Shit. It’d been too fucking long for him to touch on her like that. Especially considering how close the two of them were right
now...
Devyn smiled as he cleared his throat, a smile matching hers on his perfect ass lips. The blunt had made its way through the friends and back to Koi
during Derrick’s...taming. He took it and pulled, holding the smoke as his mouth came to hover over hers; apparently they were sharing now.
Her lips pucked a bit as he let the smoke escape and she sucked his secondhand in. Fuck. Why was everything this boy did a fucking turn on?
And when he licked his lips? Mm. Fuck the smoke.
She closed the distance between their lips, her hand resting on his belt buckle as her tongue slipped into his mouth for what she was sure would be
the first time of many that night. Her other hand came to cup his face pulling him further into the kiss as their lips twisted together as if they’d
done this before. Shit, she wounder where else his mouth went to work...Biting at his bottom lip she pulled it a little, coming out of the kiss, the
smoke they’d shared still in the air around them.
“Dance-,” she meant it to come out like a question but, he really didn’t have much of a choice in the matter so why ask. She turned, the hand
that had been at her hip now wrapped about her waist, his palm resting against the flat of her stomach. “He’ll be back-,” she announced to his
friends before leading him onto the floor. Koi - 20-11-2011 at 09:32 AM
Putting his hands on Devyn, pulling her close like that was probably risky as hell knowing that she was the type of female to straight two piece a
dude if he got too fucking grabby...or chatty...or both. That she'd handled Derrick the way she did caught Koi off guard for a second. Koi would've
heeded that shit as he'd already met her wrath. But something inside of him had already told him that things were different when he was the one in
question. Koi didn't know what it was. But he felt it, staring at her through the dark, there at the party. The nickname that he'd given her even
though this was the first time they'd even had half a damn conversation. The way her body seemed to always be drawn to him, always getting closer
instead of pulling away. Shit was...weird. And what was crazy was that he felt that shit too. Her eyes connected with his, in the dark...but he could
see everything. The lust twined with his. His hand on her hip didn't feel foreign...it felt like it belonged there, his fingers riding the groove of
her curves a little bit too well. Or maybe the kush in the air had him trippin'. Maybe all that sex in the air, girls kissing other girls, the
grindin' on the dance floor...skin showing at every turn of his head. Maybe all of that shit just had him...ready.
His lips were still less than inches away from hers as he exhaled and like a true pro, without him having to say two words, her lips pursed, sucking
the smoke in. He couldn't help but lick his lips watching her...until he felt her hand between them, moving to the front of his pants, resting on the
buckle of his belt. His eyes moved down, but he didn't have time to look at her hand there as she was pulling his face into hers, her tongue parting
his lips, which gave way without much effort. This...was what he'd been waiting for since their short toke session in King's Plaza. When he saw the
way she took the kush, her lips wrapping around that shit, he knew he wanted to do more with her lips than just watch them. And now he was getting
what he wanted, his free hand, the one that held her waist, tightening as he pulled her even more into him. He couldn't help the fact that it lowered,
sitting right between her lower back and the place where her ass started. He pulled at her, keeping her pressed there as their lips twisted
together..his tongue rubbing against hers. And for the first time in his relationship with Mary Jane, he wished he wasn't holding onto her. Two
bitches, two hands...but at the same time, two hips. That was alright, he could work with one...fuck. As soon as it started, that kiss was
ending. As she pulled away, his lip caught between her teeth, he drew it into his mouth as soon as she let it go, his eyes saying all sorts of dirty
shit...even more than they had before.
Dance. What? Dance? Naw, fuck. That was the natural progression after a kiss like that. They were supposed to be headed to his room,
not the damn dance floor! But he didn't object. He didn't have time to, probably because she wasn't asking him if he wanted to dance, she was tellin'
a nigga. With a smirk, he nodded before she turned around, the hand that was on her waist, now on her stomach. His fingertips rubbed there, pressing
her against him as he toked again, feeling the high going even deeper, getting him even more elevated. Without him really noticing, she excused him
from his friends, her body moving them towards the dance floor. Honestly, he didn't know where the fuck they were going. He was too busy with his
hands, inhaling with one, letting his other one move up until they were right underneath her chest, brushing against her there. As they stepped closer
to the floor, he leaned down, his face nuzzling the side of hers as he spoke in her ear.
"You wanna dance, huh..." He muttered, letting his lips caress her ear. "You 'bout to show me something new, Hips?" Devyn - 20-11-2011 at 11:01 AM
He wasn’t risking too much. She felt like she was making it pretty clear that he was perfectly clear to touch how however he pleased. It
was strange...How they’d gone from an actual physical fight, to sharing a J, and now sharing a lot more than that. It was like night and day with
this guy. His attitude from lunch that day nothing like it was now as her lips danced against his,their bodies seeing the agreement they hadn’t been
able to see when they met. Everything inside of her wanted him to pick her up and take her upstairs. She felt a dangerous heat start to rise in her
body, her hand slipping off of his belt buckle to the front of his pants...ugh. Why hadn’t this just been a private party? One
where the two of them could get to know one another while they explored the lines, dips, and curves of one another under his sheets. Shit, she
needed...a dance.
She was not about to give him ass in front of his peoples. Unlike some of the other females here, Devyn respected herself a little too much
to have just any nigga watch while she gave some guy the business. No, she wouldn’t fuck him on the floor, but she would do the next best thing. She
wanted to dance. And she wasn’t giving him a choice in the matter, excusing him from his friends and stealing him away. Koi didn’t seem to have
any complaints and what was better was that he still had that J...He followed close, her hips rolling against him as she walked; it was nothing
compared to what they were about to do to him. His hand drifted up her stomach, giving her chills in the hot, crowded space of his living room. He
stopped before it came to her chest, toying with the bottom of a shirt that her aunt had told her was entirely too small when she bought it. He leaned
down, his face brushing against the side of hers as he spoke to her.
Outside of the world they’d built for themselves the song was changing from something “house party” to something a little slower. Perfect. She moaned a bit feeling his lips against her ear...Show him something new? Oh, he had no idea. She didn’t dignify his
question with a response, her hips rolling in soft circles to the beat as she bent over a little. Her hand came to the one he had just below her shirt
and she guided it beneath the small fabric, her body still rolling against his. She didn’t know what ‘new’ was to the kid but, she was
definately about to show him something.Koi - 20-11-2011 at 03:00 PM
Passing faces that he wasn't even trying to see, Koi followed close behind Devyn, clearing a path through the thick crowd in the middle of the living
room. A thick heat hit him as they got closer to it, body heat and weed smoke combining there, making a haze that hid faces from his view. Not that
they were his concern. The only thing he cared about at that moment was the bud in his right hand and the girl in his arms. Devyn. Her fine
ass. Biting his lip, he took in the sensation of her thick hips rolling against him as they walked, pushing past other couples on the floor, most
stuck in their own world as they grinded against each other, two seconds from sex. Others were too fucking high to even notice them brushing past.
Didn't matter if they did notice because he and Devyn were in their own place, his hand caressing the skin on her stomach, wanting to touch her
everywhere at once. And her, moaning out as his voice hit her ear, his lips touching her there. Koi didn't know whether it was the kush or whether it
was their lust, but everything she did made him feel a little higher, a little hotter around the damn collar, a little more anxious. Even if he wasn't
showing it from the outside, he was hungry like a motherfucker for her, glad for her that they weren't alone in the room. Because he would've taken
it. Would've broken her back. Smashed until it was raw.
Waiting to see what came next, his grip loosened on her as the music changed and the couples got a little wild. Girls started dancing harder, bodies
rolling with the beat as every dude around him got the same look on their face that he was wearing. Nothing existed outside of that ass. He could
understand that. Especially when Devyn leaned forward a little, bending over as her hips started to roll against him. Just as he was about to move the
hand that held her stomach, she touched it, her fingertips rubbing against his skin, moving his hand...underneath her top. Damn. It didn't
take much for him to move his hand the rest of the way, his palm holding what he could underneath that little top. That top wasn't doing her justice
from the way shit felt underneath it. Rubbing at her, he held the fullness there, his long fingers curling around her breast, squeezing softly.
Fuckin' bra. If it wasn't for that shit, he would've been a lot happier. Koi knew his way around shit though...
Bringing the blunt to his lips again, he took another pull to hold him over, held it in his mouth and passed it off to a dude and his girl dancing
near them. Koi needed his hands free. Fuck the weed, he'd get more later. But what he wasn't going to put off until later? Putting his damn hands all
over Devyn. Especially with the way her hips moved against him. His free hand went to her thigh as she danced on him, moving inside of it, his hand
holding her as she rolled her body on him. He watched her body move as he stared down to where they touched each other, her ass pressing against him.
He knew his mouth was halfway open and he couldn't do shit about it but let the smoke that he'd held there tumble out while she danced on him. Fuck,
he wanted her. And the shit she was doing...was making it worse. And she wasn't even breaking a damn sweat.
"Stop playin' with it..." He said, his mouth coming to her ear again. He knew she wasn't puttin' it on him like she could. And if he couldn't get
inside her pants on that floor, he wanted to feel like he was. With that, the hand inside of her shirt moved, his palm against both of her breasts,
pulling at the front of her bra, making space so that his hand could slip inside. He bit his lip as his palm pressed against her skin, her hard nipple
rubbing against the flat of his hand as he touched her. Devyn - 20-11-2011 at 06:18 PM
Faces? Nah. All she cared about was Koi and honestly, the only interest she had in his face at that particular moment was sitting on it. His body was
her focus now, pleasing it the only way she was able to on this dance floor. Of course, she would get to do a lot more to it once this little party
was over. She could already picture it. The night starting to wind down at about 4, the both of them feeling nice enough to sneak away, heading
upstairs so that she could give him what he wasn’t about to get on the dance floor. God, she didn’t want to wait. A dance would be nice; she’d
have him ready to rip her clothes off once they got the chance and she could show him that she was well worth however long the wait would be until
they both got the high she was really seeking now. Weed wasn’t getting her as nice as a good long fuck with this kid would.
Until then, it was going to be him, her and this dance floor. Even now as she simply whined against him, she could feel the excitement in his hands,
his other one suddenly free, as it slipped down her thigh. That meant the J he’d had was gone. It wasn’t really important right now. The hit
she’d had earlier was holding her over nicely and once this dance was done she was sure Koi would be holding her over in a different way...She
didn’t know how long that would be though...Could anyone really blame her for rushing things along a little? A devilish smirk met her lips as she
pushed his hand further up, slipping it under her shirt. He could figure the rest out for himself. Hell, at this point he was more than welcome to
take the bra off completely, she just wanted him to touch her.
And he did, his hand gently squeezing at her breast. She couldn’t help but bite her lip against the moan he elicited, her ass still making circles
against him as the first verse progressed. She felt him lean further into her, his head coming to rest beside hers once again as he spoke to her.
Stop playin’ with it...Okay, but only because she could hear the sex drip off of his every word. Her legs bent at the knee, as she
took the hand he’d placed at her thigh, holding it up so she could balance the way she needed to. Her hips grinded harder, drawing an infinity-life
shape over the front of him. Koi’s hand was still in her shirt toying with her, teasing her the way she was teasing him now. She could feel all of
him through the fabric of his jeans and she had been right to assume she wouldn’t be disappointed at the end of the night...Or maybe sooner than
either of them thought as the beat to the chorus dropped and she bent over almost completely, his hand coming to hold her shoulder as she put her back
into the dance.
Slow jukin’ sure. That didn’t mean it wasn’t about to be the best dance of his short life. Koi - 20-11-2011 at 08:37 PM
The music playing in the background had Devyn's body doing some shit that Koi wouldn't have even thought it was capable of. Her hips were moving
slowly against his front, making circles that he was sure could be repeated when he got her upstairs. His eyes lulled closed against the feeling of
her pressed against him, the weed in his system making every movement so much more noticeable. He sucked his bottom lip into his mouth as he played
with her, his finger rolling her hard nub between them, trying to keep his hand from pulling her top completely down so he could feel all of her. Her
shirt was too fucking confining and he wanted to do more than just...touch. He wanted to taste her. Fuck where they were. Fuck the people around them.
He wanted one of her D's in his mouth, like, five minutes ago and the feeling wasn't going away as she danced on him, teasing the shit out of him when
all he really wanted to do was take her upstairs and dig her out.
And his words didn't make the shit any better, telling her to stop holding back and really let him see what she could do. At the moment, he was beyond
the tease of her dancing on him the way she was. He was ready for her and still being in clothes that separated him from getting what he wanted made
that hard as fuck. The touching, rubbing...all of it was driving him even more into a place where his want was turning into a need. He needed it. Bad.
It was almost like a...feigning for her. Like if he didn't get what he needed from her, he was going to go in fucking withdrawal. And his body was
already showing the signs. A few beads of sweat gathered at his temples as her wind turned into a grind, her hips pressed even harder against him. He
couldn't even stop himself from pushing himself into her, his body rolling against her, a soft thrust started, meeting that ass as she pushed it into
his lap. Letting her take his hand as she bent over farther, he watched her press against him, wanting to grab her hips and harden his thrusts. Damn,
he was trippin'. He couldn't help the soft moan that left his throat, his mouth responding to the sexy shit she was doing...his body responding
too.
Was he about to hide it from her? Fuck no. He knew she felt it, the swell underneath his pants. And his shits weren't loose so he KNEW she knew.
Sucking in air as she bent over completely, his hand went to her shoulder, his hand moving down the length of her body, resting on her hip as his
answered the roll of hers, following them. Quickly, his hand left her hip as he lifted his shirt, wanting a better view of her against him. Damn, she
was literally bussin' it wide the fuck open. He brought his hand back to her hip, gripping her firmly, his body leaning back against their grind.
"Yeeeah, fuck this..." He muttered, the hand in her shirt leaving it...just long enough to pick her up, her legs going around his waist on instinct
as they made their way back to the couch where his boys sat. Only a couple of his boys still lingered as the rest were probably on the floor or in one
of the rooms upstairs. When the two left on the couch saw him coming, they freed it up, already knowing what that shit meant. Without wasting a
moment, he sat on the couch, Devyn still wrapped around his waist.
"Nobody told you to stop..." He whispered in her ear, jokingly, his hands coming to her thighs and feeling around to her ass. "You tired of teasin' a
nigga?" Devyn - 20-11-2011 at 09:24 PM
She knew he was feeling her. Devyn could tell in the way he teased her, his hand still up the front of her shirt toying with her hormones.
Shit she wanted to take that damn shirt off. Why was she stalling again? Why weren’t they doing this upstairs, naked? Because she was
trying to be a fucking “lady”...okay maybe not so much a lady but, at least not a complete slut. There was life after one nighters and she would
have to see him around campus and such. She couldn’t have the rumor going around that she was easy. It’d happened to a friend of hers back home
and she was not willing to deal with those consequences...Of course, her friend actually had been easy. Like...legs: spread so fast
I can’t believe it’s not butter, easy. That had never been Devyns steez. She had never met anyone that made her that thirsty...not before tonight
anyway.
She didn’t know what it was about Koi but, his goddamn swag was getting to be too much for her. She shivered a bit, feeling his hand move down her
back before he took both of her hips into his hands. She smiled, looking back as a soft thrust started, his hips meeting her ass as their slow grind
continued. The question of whether or not Koi was just as ready as she was was answered as she felt a swell in his pants, her ass now meeting
something a lot more interesting than just his lap. The longer this dance lasted, the more she wanted to lose her pants and the harder it was becoming
for her to...woah. What?!
His hand slipped from under her shirt and he turned her around. Before she could ask what the pause was about he was lifting her, her legs
instinctively encircling his waist as her hips kind of bucked in response. She could feel his length at her center and the need to have her pants off
became a dire one. He was moving before she had time to ask where and she could only hope to somewhere more private where they could fuck properly and
cut the bullshit. She hoped in vain but, where they ended up was fine too, his tall frame falling onto the couch as her thighs straddled him there. A
lap dance? Nobody told you to stop. He was right. Why wasn’t she still moving. She pulled off her blazer, dropping it behind them before
she continued her “dance”...if that’s what she could call it now.
Her arms fell around his shoulders as her hips began rotating yet again. She was basically fucking him the way she would upstairs, except her dream
was a nightmare as they were both still dressed. FUCK. She looked down at him, his eyes focused on the way her body moved against his. As if
he felt her stare, he looked back up to her, Devyn’s lips finding his before he could even completely look at her. Fuck, she didn’t know
how much longer she’d stay dressed. Koi - 20-11-2011 at 10:10 PM
Falling back onto the couch, Devyn's thick body on his lap, Koi's hands moved up her thighs as she pulled off her blazer, exposing the rest of herself
to him. And just like that, Koi's eyes were stuck to her, tracing the body that he'd only caught glimpses of that night, hidden under that blazer. Her
skin was so damn smooth that his hands immediately went to it, tracing her curves as they came to rest on her ass. He squeezed her there as her hips
started to move again, the dance that they'd started on the floor picking up where it left off, like he'd never stopped it in the first place. Their
grind was just as hard, hips moving against each other to the beat of whatever song was playing now. Koi couldn't hear it. All he felt was the bass
from it, vibrating through them as they synced their bodies with it. His eyes were narrowed as he looked at his lap where Devyn was still bouncing on
him, her hips moving in circles, making it feel like she was mounted, riding the shit out of him. Their clothes were the only thing keeping what they
were doing from being classified as "sex". But they could remedy that as soon as she gave the fucking word.
With a quiet moan, Koi smiled at her rub against him, the swell there turning into hardness. He pushed her forward a little, pressing against her ass
with his hands so that that grind fell in a more useful spot. His hips started that thrusting shit again, their barely noticeable rhythm building up
like they were already upstairs, her body in his lap and him...inside of her. He could barely wait for the moment when he didn't have to think about
that shit anymore. He wanted to moment when they could be doing what he was imagining. Lusting about. Fantasizing. And he knew that she couldn't wait
either. Especially when he looked in her eyes, seeing "sex" written there. All he needed was her mouth to say it too.
Looking up at her, her fixed his mouth to start in on her, talk some shit to her, get her even more ready to just squash that teasing shit and head
upstairs to his room. But instead of words going out, her lips moved in, touching his. They covered hers, moving in time with them. His tongue tasted
hers, twisting against it as he kissed her back, that grind getting slower...and stronger. Shit. He couldn't keep doing this shit without an outcome
as he was about to pull a serious case of blue ones. Moaning again, he brought one of his hands back to her chest, this time, pulling one side of the
top up, his hand pulling her out of her bra. He broke the kiss, bringing his mouth to her breast, his warm mouth covering her as his tongue teased
her. His other hand pulled her waist to him as he hoped that she wouldn't pull away.Devyn - 20-11-2011 at 11:23 PM
She allowed herself to moan as his hands traced the curves of her body, his hands getting to know her the way very few did as he made a trail to her
ass, giving it a squeeze while her hips moved against his. How long had she known this kid? Less than 48 hours she was sure and with the way the
relationship started, who knew this was where they’d end up...so soon. She shouldn’t have been ready for what was about to happen. Every other guy
she’d ever been with had waited at least three months, their balls turning a dark hue of blue, before they even got to this point. Koi, she was
ready to feel in her stomach as he dug out her center until she fell asleep. 48 hours. either he was truly blessed or she was losing her
mind...because he was getting pussy tonight and there was no doubt about it.
The swell from earlier turned into a hard-on and she closed her eyes as he pulled her directly on top of it. Jesus she was fiending, another
moan falling from her lips, louder this time as her head fell back a little before she caught herself. Somehow everything outside of what was
happening between them right at that moment had faded. The music was a whisper, the people didn’t matter, all she could hear was her breathing and
her body screaming to have him inside her. Her mouth fell to his as he looked up at her, her lips hungry to taste him and his just as eager as his
tongue rubbed against hers. She nipped at his bottom lip as the kiss continued her grind becoming slower as the music faded completely.
His touch hadn’t though. She felt his hand move between them, lifting her shirt this time and exposing her. She didn’t care. Nothing
existed outside of this moment with him and as he took his mouth from hers and put it to work elsewhere the cup of care tipped over completely. Before
she knew what she was doing her hands were drifting down his chest, finding his belt buckle as she began undoing it. She wanted it. Right here. Right
now. Right...what was that? She felt something vibrate against her thigh and at first she thought she was hallucinating...but it happened again, one
long vibration, a pause, and then two short. FUCKKKKK. It was her fucking aunt! As much as she wanted to ignore the call, she couldn’t. She
hadn’t been exactly forthcoming with her Aunt Athena when she left the house that night. According to the story she’d told, she was out
with a quiet, bookworm type she’d met in her English class. A female bookworm type. But she obviously wasn’t and she obviously couldn’t take her
call in the middle of sex at a party.
“Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit shit-,” she pushed against Koi’s chest, his arm holding her where she was, refusing to let her go.
“Koi, stop...Stop-,” she pushed hard against him then, quickly adjusting her shirt and coming to stand, her phone was on what she was sure the
fifth ring and she knew she was missing this call. She told her that she would check in. Athena was doing her a favor letting her out in the
first place after hearing about her little lunchroom brawl. Pissed didn’t even begin to describe the look on Koi’s face.
“I know, baby, I’m sorry. Two minutes...I really have to take this-,” she took the phone out of her pocket hoping she could make it to somewhere
a little quieter before it stopped ringing. “When I come back we’re fucking-,” she said it plainly, the lust coursing through her not allowing
her to censor herself. “Just two minutes...” she said before turning her back in search of somewhere quiet. Koi - 21-11-2011 at 04:51 PM
Koi didn't give a fuck what anyone said, he knew...there was only thing that was more satisfying than a blunt between his lips. And that was what he
was doing at that moment. His lips were wrapped around the fullness of Devyn's breast, the tip of his tongue teasing at that hard nub as his eyes
closed at the sound of her quiet moan. He held her tighter, his hands pulling at her as he sucked at her, softly, basking in that shit. He could hear
every sound between the two of them. Her moans, those full lips sucking in air as his warm tongue brushed over her. He heard the sounds his mouth
made, hungry sounds as it tried to take in more than it could handle. He was so fucking greedy for her, wanting to taste all of her...all at once. And
he knew that was impossible, but he was just gone enough to try. Not like he was really concentrating on what he was doing to her as she was making
him lose his damn mind with the way that her hips kept moving on him. They weren't sitting on that couch anymore. The way he felt, they couldn't be.
They were upstairs in his room, her bare body on top of him, pushing him deeper inside of her. Moaning as he kept hitting her spot...that one spot
that was nearly pushing her to the edge. And he wanted to take her to the edge, pushing her body so close...dangling her over the edge until she
finally went over it...and her body gave way to the passion below.
Sucking in air, his eyes opened on her. They were still at the party, still on that fucking couch. Still in their goddamn clothes. Damn, he was so
done with all of the teasing, playing out all of the shit that they should've been doing upstairs. Yeah, it felt good as hell to feel her rubbing
against him the way she was. But dress rehearsal was dumb over. It was time for the real thing. And he could tell Devyn felt the same way, her hands
reaching between them, coming to top of his pants. Without leaving her chest, he pushed his middle forward, his lips only leaving her for a moment as
he watched her fingers pull at his belt, the silent message that she was beyond playing that shit out and ready for the real thing. He was ready too.
Damn, he was so ready.
Smirking, the tip of his tongue flicked at her nipple before his mouth covered her again, another moan breaking his lips. His body just...waited.
Waited for her hand to finally touch what had been calling her damn name the entire night. With much effort, he fought the urge to just put her hand
on it, let her fingers do the work that her hips had been doing. He just needed to wait. Be patient. He couldn't deny it and neither could she. Shit
was about to go down. Whether it was there on that couch or in his bed, he was fucking tonight.
Before he knew it, shit was ending when it was just getting started. Curses spilled from Devyn's mouth as she pushed up against him. Fuck that...he
was good and nothing was going to make him let...what? Damn!? Hearing his name being called, he pulled away from her, leaning against the
couch as she pulled her top back over her exposed breast. What the fuck? Koi's eyes watched her pull out her...her phone? So, she wanted to pause
getting the business because her damn phone rang? Man, fuck the phone. And Koi's eyes said the same thing as she looked at him, his thick eyebrows
wrinkling in impatience. She had to take the call? Who the fuck was it? Obama, himself?
"Hell yeah we're fucking..." He said, watching her body leave his lap. She had no idea how true her statement was. After all of that shit, she wasn't
leaving him with the blues. Wasn't happening. With a swift pat on her ass to let her know that he was serious about her coming back, hell or fucking
high water, he watched her walk away, probably trying to find a quiet place to talk on the phone. There wasn't one. The party was live everywhere,
even in the damn bathrooms. Everybody was in their zone, smoking, drinking, grinding, and fucking. And two minutes was a wait as Koi couldn't wait to
join the...shit.
Across the room, he spotted her. Staring in his direction, tiny, tight ass dress hugging every curve. Fuck me heels making that ass sit up. Long black
hair spilling down her shoulders, her eyes saying sex all the way from across the room. Lifting his chin, he smiled and bit his lip to let her know
that he saw her staring. And that was all she needed...a fucking invitation...as those legs started moving, bringing her right to him... Devyn - 21-11-2011 at 06:31 PM
“...Okay, Athena-,” she sighed, her hand rubbing at her forehead as she listened to her aunt tell her how to be a good house guest. Really? Now?
Fuck! She was missing out on what would probably be the best fuck of her life to listen to her aunt talk about a girl’s parents who didn’t really
even fucking exist. Fuck! She shouldn’t have lied. She should have just told her she was going out and left it at that...but that wouldn’t have
been enough to get her out of the house. Athena had been pissed, beyond livid, when her little boyfriend told her about the misunderstanding
Devy had had in the cafeteria. She grounded her but this party was imperative. She had to be here...so she lied. Creating a fictional
“friend” something Athena was desperate for her to have so that she could “adjust to the move and the new place”. She was well intentioned
but...no. Just no...“Yes...Okay...I know...-,” she could take much more of this. She had to get back.
“Look, I should really get back-,” she began cutting her off. “I’ll call you later.” She hung up the phone before her aunt could protest and
turned to go back inside the house. The only quiet place she could find at this party was, in fact, outside of it. She didn’t bother to knock to get
back in, her hand just twisting the know of the door and stepping back into the thick heat of the party. She couldn’t see the couch from where she
was by the door but, with that destination in mind her feet moved swiftly to the other side of the room, back to where she had come from...Back to
Koi. She was too ready. She wasn’t even going to stop at the damn couch. She was simply going to take his hand and follow him up fucking stairs.
Fuck all the bullshit.
She could see him in her mind’s eye now. Waiting. As he had been when she came in only this time he already had a J sparked and his dick was hard
enough to cut diamonds...Or...what? She paused as she came upon the couch, her head cocking to the side in a kind of shocked confusion. She had been
half right...The D was still ready, but the bitch in his hand wasn’t Mary Jane. Who the fuck was this basic ass bitch?! An expression of “complete
bitch” fell over her face as she stepped closer, coming upon the couple, busy making out the way she and Koi had been moments ago...of course she
had been doing it better. What the fuck was this shit?! She got tired of waiting and spoke.
“A friend, Koi?” Koi - 21-11-2011 at 07:41 PM
Her kisses were hurried, frantic...like she was...starving for it. Wanting what Koi had to give so badly that she her entire body was anxious for it,
grasping at him with impatient hands. His arm pulled her further into him, his other hand in her hair as his hips pushed against her. A moan poured
out from between her lips, her kiss slowing as she pushed herself further into his grind against her. How the fuck did they get here? How the fuck did
HE get here? Wrapped up in her arms, chests pressing against each other, her mouth sucking his bottom lip into her mouth. He couldn't even...fucking
remember. He'd seen her across the room, watching him as he sat there, waiting for Devyn to come back from...where the fuck HAD she disappeared to?
Right. Her damn phone rang and she'd taken off before Koi could get the shit out of her hand and throw it across the damn room. And then...he was
here...a girl straddling his lap, pressed against him like Devyn had been only minutes before, her hands all over him...wanting him. And, well shit.
His body took over, letting her keep his high going.
Lowering the hand that was embedded in the girl's hair, he let it trail down her body...all the way to the bottom of her dress. Koi lifted it over her
ass, his hand resting of the bare skin underneath, his eyes closing as bounced on top of him softly, a sweet giggle sounding before she lowered her
lips to him again, nipping at him before she fell into the kiss again. Although he had no idea who the fuck she was or how long she'd been watching he
and Devyn, he couldn't help but appreciate her for filling the spot, keeping it nice and hard for Devyn, whenever she got done with whatever phone
call she'd taken and decided to come back. Koi was almost salty over that shit, wondering what the fuck was so important that she'd left him hanging
like that. Maybe it was her man. And "ding ding", that shit was probably it. Girls as bad as Devyn didn't go too long before somebody "mine'd" their
ass. And with an ass like hers, Koi was sure some nigga had to be smashin'. And that was okay. Fucking was fucking. Koi would answer that itch, no
problem. He didn't mind. He'd maintenance the shit out of Devyn...and if she was into it, he'd let the girl on his lap join in on the fun.
A friend, Koi?
Speaking of. With a startled jump, the girl on his lap sat up, turning around to look at Devyn as she pulled her dress back over her ass. Koi put his
other hand on her waist, peering around her, a smile curling his lips. She was back. And just in time, too. Upstairs was waiting for them and...wait.
Was she...pissed?
"Sup hips..." He said, eying her body, letting it fuel the dirty shit playing in his mind. Visions of the three of them, tangled up in the
sheets...enjoying each other, filled his head. "'Bout time, baby. Come here..." Devyn - 21-11-2011 at 08:08 PM
Sup? ‘Sup’ was all the fuck he had to say for himself? Was he under the impression that this shit was okay? Because if he was he was sorely
mistaken. She felt her jaw clench as she took in the scene, the bitch having covered her ass as Koi peeked around her, his eyes finding Devyn as a
smile took his lips. Hers didn’t mimic that emotion, her face remaining stoic hoping he’d get the message that she was pissed. Had she not made it
crystal fucking clear that she wasn’t into sharing. No, they weren’t a couple or anything but, for tonight if Koi wanted to call Devyn
his, she was damn sure asking for the same in return. So who the fuck was this prissy little bitch all over her damn man?! ’Bout time, baby.
Come here...The fuck?!
“I would but, it looks like your hands are full-,” her eyes narrowed at the girl, her curious eyes still watching Devyn. The bitch even had the
nerve to give her the once over, only she didn’t have the look a hating ass bitch would...No. Hell no. She was not swinging that way for anyone,
especially not this basic ass bitch...Okay. Maybe she was just pissed. The Becky was...cute. She guessed. But definitely not bad enough for
Devyn to even play gay. Not in the slightest...
Ugh! She was so fucking turned off. They had gone from 100 to zero in the time it took her to get off the phone. Was he being completely serious right
now? Woah. Pause. Was she...was Devyn being replaced right now?...By this bitch?...No...No, that wasn’t possible. She needed an explanation. She
wanted to know what the fuck was happening and she wanted to know right the fuck then. The kid needed to talk fast if he was still trying to do this
shit.
“So who’s this?” she asked, her hand waving indicating the girl in his lap, the distaste in her voice clear...Shit was about to get real. Koi - 21-11-2011 at 08:30 PM
The words "come here" usually implied moving forward, right? If that was the case, then why hadn't Devyn moved from the spot where she stood, staring
at Koi. Staring at the girl on his lap, whose name he still didn't know. Yeah, she was mad. And...he guessed he could see why. She'd left and
when she'd returned, there was a body in the space she'd just taken up. Completely understandable. But it really wasn't what she was thinking...at
all. His hands were full? No, not at all. Koi's hands didn't fill easily. Not that he was into the whole "multiples" thing, but he didn't discriminate
with numbers. If more than one girl wanted to show him her affection, he wasn't going to turn them away. And that seemed to be the case. Just an
admirer, probably turned the hell on by what she saw when he and Devyn were going at it. And she was just bold enough to walk across the room and get
in on the fun too. Nothing too bad about that, was there?
Apparently Devyn thought so. "Whoa..." He said, his hands leaving the girl's hips as he held them out, showing that what she was seeing wasn't a
threat. She had no reason to be upset. Devyn, as bad as she was, wasn't easily replaced. No,what she was looking at was just a place holder. A
substitute. An add-on. Put it like this, if Devyn was the meal, this chick was just the paprika on top of that shit. All she did was spice the shit up
a bit. And was that a bad thing? She was willing, she was sexy and she was looking at Devyn like she wanted to devour that shit too. A fucking
compliment as far as he was concerned. Plus, baby was an AJW girl. Things were bound to get interesting with that added to the equation and, blame him
if she wanted to, he wanted his damn cake and he kinda wanted to eat it to. He definitely wanted to eat it...
"Yo, it's not even like that." He rebutted, his hands meeting his knees as he stared at Devyn, waiting for that attitude to drop, for her to
understand without him having to lay it all out on the table. As Devyn's face wasn't changing, Koi figured he needed to go ahead and make his
intentions plain. Lay it all out.
"She's...a friend. Like you said." He answered her question as truthfully as he could as he still didn't know her name. And he wasn't going to break
the eye contact with Devyn just to ask her either. She was fucking pissed, he could tell. But if she would hear him out, Koi was sure that maybe he
could make things a little clearer for her...and then they could stop all this talking and start touching.
"I was kinda thinking that maybe she could come with us...upstairs." Pushing the girl off of his lap and onto the couch, he stood to his feet and
walked to her, careful not to touch her just yet. Looking down at her, he bit his lip, his smirk returning to his face. "What do you think about that?
You like that idea?" Devyn - 21-11-2011 at 11:29 PM
Fucking right she was fucking mad! She was pissed like hell that this little bitch thought it was fucking okay to take her place as soon as she
fucking got up; and to make things worse, Koi let the bitch do it! Damn right she was mad and she didn’t have not one issue with letting him know
it, her face speaking the volumes that she would not embarrass herself in letting her voice speak. She would not cause a fucking scene. She
refused. If this nigga thought that this simple ass trick was about to give him the ride she was prepared to give him, then fuck it. She
could. She could tell by watching this bitch she was a mediocre lay...at best. Devyn had been a sure fucking thing and now the kid was fucking it
up...
“Well why don’t you tell me what it’s like, Koi. I’m curious-,” her voice was calm, dangerously so as her tone took on a sardonic curiosity.
She saw what the fuck it was like. It was like this nigga had replaced her in the time that it took her to make it back across the room and it was
like a bitch was about to get fucking fried in this motherfucker if she kept giving her the goddamn eye she was giving! What the actual FUCK?! Devyn
knew this bitch wasn’t under the impression that she was about to be invited. Sex with Devyn was just that. Sex with Devyn. Not Devyn and some
fucking nameless nobody that fell onto your dick. FUCK NO. Fuck no...This shit wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be fucking real. But it was and the
more that she thought about it the angrier she got. She’s...a friend. Peep that shit. He didn’t even fucking know the whore’s name.
Seriously? Seriously. Devyn was so fucking blown at the way this was playing out right now, but not as blown as she was about to be. His words met her
ears and everything inside her body shut the fuck down. She had been wrong. The girl seemed to be down with whatever happened next but, it wasn’t
her idea...Koi was asking her for a threesome.
He stood up, closing the distance between them, but careful to keep his hands to himself as her expression hadn’t changed at his suggestion. What
did she think? Did she like it? Oh...A smirk to match his fell on her lips as she cut her eyes to look up at him. Her fingers caught the collar of his
shirt gently pulling him to her level, so that she could speak into his ear, “If she comes upstairs...there won’t be an ‘us’-,” She pushed
him away then, the smirk falling from her lips as she just looked at him. “You’re fucking this up-,” she started, her finger pointing for
emphasis, “You need to figure your shit out before you lose the option...”Koi - 22-11-2011 at 08:33 AM
What was the big fucking deal? No really, what was it? Koi couldn't understand as he left the spot where he sat, stood up and closed the space between
he and Devyn. Why was she angry? The way he saw it, they were both getting what they wanted. A little bit of fun...and each other. This girl was just
an addition to what they would be doing in the bedroom. It was like throwing some lube in the mix. It really wasn't necessary, but it sure made things
a hell of a lot better. In the grand scheme of shit, she didn't really matter. But Devyn was making it seem that she did and that wasn't the damn
truth. She was just some bitch who probably got turned on by the shit she saw play out between he and Devyn and took advantage of an open lap. She
wasn't a threat. He didn't even know her. And what was kinda fucked up? The same shit applied to Devyn. Looking back on the matter, they'd known each
other for a full, what? 24 hours? 48 maybe? He knew nothing about her except that she had that ass and...that she threw a hell of a punch. But other
than that, she and girlie on the couch were about at the same place. Except... the chick on the couch didn't have the swag that Devyn did.
She hadn't made him blur out any other female at the party when she walked in. He hadn't even known she existed until he spotted her staring at him.
And she didn't make his dick scream the way Devyn did either...
Looking in her eyes, he silently prayed to whatever sex god could hear him that Devyn would understand, that she'd drop the shit and just let him get
in her. It wasn't even that damn serious. They just wanted to fuck right? So they could do that and they could enjoy the desperate pussy that was this
AJW freak in the process. Watching a smirk break on Devyn's lips was like a fucking angel singing, light breaking, harps playing. All that shit. She
wanted to play along...good. He licked his lips, his eyes talking "sex" the way his mouth wasn't as she pulled him down to her, her lips hitting his
ear.
If she comes upstairs...there won’t be an "us"... Koi's smile melted from his face, his eyes rolling as she pushed him from her, her eyes
angrier than they'd been when they'd gotten at each other in the lunchroom. An ultimatum? For real? Nodding, he looked over her head as she kept
talking, the party still going on. People were still getting it in, kissing, touching, rubbing. Loving on each other. Why the fuck couldn't she just
do that and get over the bullshit? It wasn't even that serious. It wasn't like they were in some committed ass relationship (which Koi didn't touch)
where he couldn't fuck other girls. He barely knew her. And now she was laying down laws about what it took to get in that? Naw, fuck that. He was
gone have his fun...
"I'm fucking this up?" He asked, his face drawing closer to her. "Looks to me like you're missin' out, hips. Instead of making me lose out on
options...you need to get with explorin' yours."Devyn - 22-11-2011 at 10:27 AM
Did he really not see why she was upset? Did he really not get how fucked up he was being right now? How fucking in the wrong he was?! He had to be
fucking joking! It was blowing her fucking mind that Koi figured this threesome shit was okay. Not even an hour ago he’d laid claim to her pussy in
front of MJ and all his little friends, and she allowed that shit. Koi would be her cutty buddy for tonight and that was the end of shit right? Wrong.
That shit went both ways. If Koi wanted to call Devyn his, she sure as hell had the same right not to share him with some random broad. If she had
come back with some nigga hold the hips he loved so much, Devyn knew he would have had the same fucking attitude she did right now. Hell, he’d
already proven that shit with his little talking ass friend. He obviously didn’t want anyone else talking to her, let alone touching what was
his...so why did he think the shit was okay for him to do? Koi had to be smarter than this...
But he wasn’t. He bought her “go with it” routine, before her words hit his ear and his face filled with annoyance. Fuck him and his fucking
feelings about the situation. That random bitch was not going upstairs when Devyn did and if it really wasn’t that big of a deal, he wouldn’t have
cared. But he did, his eyes looking over her head as she told him he was fucking up. Fuck! He had completely murdered her high and now she was
starting to get fucking mad. All he had to do was tell the bitch to hop off but, instead he was making shit look like she had made the fucked up
decision. The only decision that had been was choosing him apparently. It took everything in her power not to punch him dead in his face as he
informed her that she was the one missing out. She’d give him this, he had big balls to talk to her the way he was and she was about to knee him in
both of them. This motherfucker...
“You know what...you’re right-,” she admitted slowly, looking away from him as she shifted her weight on her feet, her arms crossing over her
chest before her eyes came back to his. “How ‘bout I explore my muthafuckin’ option to go the fuck home? I feel like I’ve been fucked
over enough for tonight.” And the shit was deaded. She didn’t care about what he had to say next, if anything and she didn’t give a
shit if he slept with that girl. Can’t no bitch do it like Dev and she wasn’t about to go out of her way to convince him otherwise. Fuck this kid!
Koi - 22-11-2011 at 11:51 AM
Oh, she was trippin'. When the truth came down to the fucking truth, it wasn't even about him choosing ole' girl over Devyn. It was about him having a
damn choice and he sure wasn't taking hers from her. He didn't want her to, but she could say "no" to him. To be truthful, he hadn't though she
would've in the first place. She was cool. Cool as fuck, actually. She blew trees and probably rolled them too. She liked to party...and she came
correct. Koi respected that about her. But in the small amount of shit that he knew about her, he couldn't help but realize that he didn't know that
much more. And he hadn't known that she'd get so damn...annoyed with the fact that he liked to explore. Koi wasn't tied down. He didn't have a girl
and he didn't want one. He wasn't the type. Things were simple when he didn't have to even fucking THINK about what it took to carry on like that with
someone. To stay faithful in that shit. He didn't have to think about control and fighting what was naturally in him. Fighting what he just...was.
Nah, he'd opt out. For one night, Devyn was what he wanted. Just one night. He wasn't trying to date her, wife her...just fuck her. And if she didn't
want to let him do that because of extenuating ass circumstances then that was her call. But it didn't have to be his too.
Hearing her agreeing words would've been better...if she was actually agreeing with him. But looking into her eyes, Koi knew that he wasn't winning
that shit tonight. She wasn't trying to cut with another bitch in the room. And if that was what she wanted, he'd let it go. Let her go. Shrug that
shit off like the amount of "matter" that it was really worth. Yeah, he was losing, but he'd take his "L". She didn't now shit about him. Not enough
for him to let her pussy control his decisions. He hadn't even smelled it yet. Regardless how those hips curved, how her breasts rode, how sweet her
lips tasted...he wasn't hers to control. And if the tables were turned, he would've given her the same freedom. If, for some fucked up reason, she'd
decided to get with Derrick instead, that would've been some shit but he would've let the shit happen. Her decision. Lesser man, but her decision. And
now, it was his.
"So, you leavin' cause of this shit?" He asked, his eyes narrowing, body drawing away from her as he stepped back, the distance between them growing
with every word. "Okay..." What the fuck else could he have said? It was apparent that she wasn't having it and it was also apparent that he was.
"Aight...I can't change your mind. Do what you do..." Looking her up and down quickly, he rubbed his chin, rolling his eyes at her as he stood there
and took the fucking knives she was throwing at him.Devyn - 22-11-2011 at 12:49 PM
This shit was getting really fucking old, really fucking fast. It was time for her to go before she was forced to embarrass this boy in front of his
new little plaything and his friends. He was being absolutely ridiculious and if he wasn’t seeing reason, she certainly wasn’t going to lead him
to it. He was wrong. Dead wrong and he could sit alone, in his wrongness, and be wrong. Fucker! Ugh! She was so over this entire night, already
throwing this party into her ever-growing pile of regrets as Koi moved away from her in response to her decision. Yeah she was leaving. What did he
really expect? Being replaced wasn’t a good feeling and whether he wanted to admit it or not that was exactly what he had done. She had been
replaced. He could claim that that girl wasn’t important all be wanted but, the girl wasn’t the one leaving now was she? Devyn was.
Koi had chosen that girl over her and that was the end of it...Fine. Koi wasn’t shit and his dick wasn’t gold. He could put it where he pleased
but, he would not be getting into Devyn that night...Shit, she hated him even more for that. She couldn’t even pretend he hadn’t worked her up,
his hands, his kisses, that mouth...Mmmm. And now she was taking herself home without getting off once. Really? Fucking really?! And he had
the fucking nerve to be nonchalant about it? Do what you do.
“Whatever, nigga. I guess I fucking will then-,” she bent over, taking the blazer she’d discarded earlier from the floor not bothering to look
back up at him as she stood and made to leave.
“Great party, motherfucker.”Devyn - 19-12-2011 at 03:10 PM
---Christmas Day---
Here she was again. The last time she’d pulled into this driveway, that night had ended in disaster. All she could do was hope this time would be
nothing like that. It was Christmas, right? Miracles happened. Leaning over into the passenger’s seat, she grabbed the gifts she’d brought for Koi
and his little sister. She’d spent hours looking for something for Eri before finally picking something she might like. She wasn’t even sure they
were exchanging gifts but, she couldn’t very well show up empty handed now could she? No. She checked her lip gloss in the rear view, a soft sigh on
her lips before she got out. She was nervous. Why was she so nervous? It wasn’t like she hadn’t chilled with Koi before and his sister being there
wasn’t a big deal...was it? Ugh! She didn’t know. But she was here now and there really wasn’t any turning back.
Getting out of the car, she ran a hand over her skirt, shifting the gifts in her hand so that one could be free to knock on the door. She could do this. It was no different from any other time
she and Koi had hung out and she would keep it from being as awkward as she felt right now. Closing the distance between her car and the door she
stopped, her finger hovering over the door bell. Push it. Push it. Ugh! She was being ridiculous! There was nothing to be nervous about!
She pushed the button, a light chime sounding from inside the house as she waited for the door to be opened. Shemar - 19-12-2011 at 04:16 PM
Fresher than a mutha fucker. That's what Shemar was, looking in the gilded mirror next to the massive, wooden double doors of his home. They
say that the reflection of a man's wealth was what he saw surrounding him. The house, the furnishings, that fly ass mirror on the wall? Nah, none of
that really said "wealthy" to Shemar. But that reflection? Yeah, it said it all. He was "popped collar" fresh that day. For good reason. He had shit
to do. A charity that morning. Some sort of "give toys to the needy" drive at the local high school and then on to...more important things. "More
important" being the girl he'd met at the signing of his autobiography a week ago. They'd been kicking it for a little while, getting friendly and
shit. And tonight...Shemar had the feeling that she was finally going to let him...open her present. It was Christmas Day, after all. Wasn't it?
Straightening his tie for the second time since he started gazing at his perfection in the mirror, he smirked at his reflection and rubbed his goatee. There
should've been a law against being this fucking fine. Adjusting his jacket, he made to call up to his kids, just to let them know that he was leaving.
Yeah, he was leaving on Christmas Day. So fucking sue him. They knew their father was busy and with all the shit they had going on, they wouldn't even
notice he was gone. Koi was always off doing something that would later result in HIM having to go bail his ass out. Sometimes, it seemed like Shemar
took his son's future more serious than his son did. And Eri, even though she was never a problem, had her nose in some book. They were fine. And
since they were good, Shemar was going to find something to get into and get "good" himself. Damn killing his fun because of some family holiday. The
family wasn't even complete as Fumie had taken off early that morning, headed to who knew where. Shemar didn't really think twice about it. That was
her m.o. That was the shit she did. And because that was what he'd come to expect, there was no reason to really care.
Leaving the mirror, he grabbed his keys from the side table where he'd left them the night before, his hand coming to hover over the handle of the
front door...until the doorbell rant. Who the hell was that? He wasn't expecting company...and even if he was, his company knew better than to ring
the front door bell. So, who could it have been? Turning the bolted lock, he pressed the handle and pulled the door open, his eyes meeting what he
could only describe as "damn".
"Well hello." He said simply, pulling the door completely open as he leaned against it, his hands crossing over his chest as his eyes roamed the body
that stood in front of his door. Damn...he would definitely be writing a thank you letter to Santa later on that day.Devyn - 19-12-2011 at 05:51 PM
Well hello. The smile on her face slipped a little, her eyes meeting an unfamiliar set that were...somehow more inviting than Devyn
had expected. This was not who was supposed to answer the door. Who the hell even was this? Koi said his parents would be gone and it would be just he
and Eri. Just the three of them. So who was this...damn. She and Koi were just friends right? She sure hoped so because the thoughts she was having
about his brother, cousin, whatever, were extremely inappropriate. She could tell they were related, his features were too much like Koi’s
but...this couldn’t be his father. He wasn’t old enough.
Starting at his shoes her eyes gave him the once over, stopping in the places that might interest her, should she find out that the kid was doable for
friend’s standards. Sure, she wouldn’t mind having him as a stocking stuffer but, if Koi wasn’t for it she’d have to pass. But as his eyes
roamed her body even more throughly than her’s had his, it became apparent that this guy wouldn’t care what Koi said about it one way or the
other. She had to stop. Oh shit, she had yet to respond.
“Um...hi-,” She blinked, her eyes refocusing as she reapplied the smile she’d be wearing before, “Merry Christmas. I’m Devyn.” She paused,
waiting for an introduction before she remembered, saying her name could very well mean nothing to him, “I’m a, uh...a friend of Koi’s. He
invited me over...”Shemar - 19-12-2011 at 08:11 PM
Shemar could tell. He could see it in her eyes, well...when his gaze finally reached her eyes...that whoever she was, she wasn't expecting
him to open the front door of his own house. It didn't take too much thought to figure out who she was expecting. Koi, of course. Even though any
female gracing the steps of Shemar's home were either the help or...not the help, it was definitely a surprise to see someone ringing his
door bell and asking for his son. Koi wasn't the type to bring any of his females home. Mostly because he didn't keep any of them around long enough
to let his family even catch a whiff. But this one? She was definitely his type. Every poster on Koi's wall had a girl gracing it that looked just
like her. Little waist, hips for days, a nice set of D's...full lips. Very nice. It wasn't necessarily Shermar's taste, but he definitely didn't
discriminate. She was way too easy on the eyes. So much so that he didn't mind looking for a little while longer.
Hi... Cute ass little voice. Yeah, she was adorable. Biting his lip, his head cocked to the side as she tried to explain herself. Her name
was "Devyn"? Yeah, she looked the type of girl with an unconventional name. Just looking at her, Shemar could tell there were all sorts of things that
were unconventional about her. Her body, for one thing as she didn't do much to hide it. And her eyes...as she didn't mind him knowing that she'd
actually taken the time to check him out a bit. No a problem, because he was looking too. She was a guest of Koi's. Okay, Shemar pretty much assumed
that...as amazing as that was. Without a reply, Shemar continued to watch her, returning, more than once, to those shapely legs in that
almost-too-short skirt. Shemar could admit, he felt a little guilt, eyeing up his son's "friend" the way he was. Fair game was all Shemar saw. And the
way she was looking at him? That said she was old enough and if age meant THAT much, he'd let her call him "Sir"..."Daddy", even.
"Devyn..." He said her name slowly, a smile forming on his lips as his eyes connected with hers. "Nice to meet you...Devyn." His teeth broke through
the smile as his back left the door. He stepped towards her a bit, leaving a couple of inches between them. "Hmmm, I don't recall Koi saying that he
had company today. Especially not from anyone named...'Devyn'." He was teasing her and wondering, silently, if she'd play along. He loved when they
played along. What? He was married...not dead.
"I'm not sure if I should let you in..." He muttered, his eyes narrowing as he looked at her. "What do you think? Should I let you in...?"Devyn - 19-12-2011 at 09:38 PM
Who was this guy? No really. Who was he? Even after her introduction, his never came. He didn’t dive a name or a title, or anything that
might hint to her why he’d opened Koi’s front door. Shit. Was she at the right house? She had to be. She had been sober when she came and when she
left the last time and this had been the house. She wasn’t crazy. So who was this guy answering the door? Her name broke his lips slowly after a
short silence and she nodded in response. Right. She was Devyn. That was usually when normal people introduced themselves...
But he did not, moving on telling her that it was nice to meet her as a smile graced his lips and he stood up straight. “It’s um...nice to meet
you too-,” she smiled a little as he stepped closer to her, the nervousness she had been feeling magnifying by ten. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
What could she say. She honestly hadn’t expeceted a conversation. A ‘hey’ here, a ‘Koi invited me’ there and boom. Inside. Now...now he was
talking, mentioning that Koi never mentioned company. Ummmm...Okay...She opened her mouth to respond but closed it again once she realized she had
nothing to respond with. She wasn’t exactly sure how to reply to that and as he continued she became even more clueless.
She knew she was stuck because she didn’t even have a smart ass reply. Nothing witty, or clever, or even remotely funny. All she had was confusion.
Confusion that was threatening to leave her mute at Koi’s front door looking extremely stupid in front of his...this guy. And she’d be honest
about just that confusion as she really had nothing else to say.
“So...I really have no idea what you want to hear from that-,” she replied with a nervous giggle. She wanted to follow up with something but
really that was it. That was all she could offer as she completely failed at answering the question he had asked. Mostly because she couldn’t tell
if he was serious or not...he wasn’t...right?
Fuck.Shemar - 19-12-2011 at 10:10 PM
Barely holding the amused smile that was trying to give way to a humored laugh, he waited for Devyn's answer as to whether he should step aside and
let her into his home. Or...Koi's home. But all he was getting from her was the look of confusion that she'd been wearing from the moment she spotted
him at the front door. She'd been expecting Koi to open the door for her, huh. Yeah, that look said that she was expecting a lot of things...like
Shemar's name and identity for starters. And he wasn't going to give it to her. Not happening. Watching her try to figure out just who he was and how
she should respond to him was too much fun. And what was more fun? Seeing a hint of interest in those eyes, a look that probably would've never
crossed her face if she had known he was Koi's father. Or maybe it would've, depending on what type of female she was. He hoped she was the
adventurous type. The kind of girl that liked her shit "vintage". Until he could get a grasp on her, Shemar wasn't dropping any hints. He'd keep
choosing his words just carefully enough to evade answers. It was all just a game. And when he got tired of it, he'd introduce himself...and maybe let
her into the house. Right now, he was feeling her out...enjoying himself a little. No harm in that.
Looking at her expectantly, a comical grin gave way as she admitted that she didn't really know what he wanted to hear from her. He wanted her to play
along, that was what he'd wanted. But she seemed to be a more cautious one. Hesitant to return the flirt he was giving her and very careful with the
words she said. She was still questioning. Not sure if the man that stood before her was the father or the brother...or even a cousin considering that
she was at their home on Christmas Day. The puzzled look was classic. And for his enjoyment...she could wear it just a little while longer.
"Hey...I'm joking with you." He admitted, chuckling softly. "You're welcomed to come inside, you know. Any friend of Koi's is a friend of mine..."
There. There was the introduction to his home. She could cross the threshold. But still, Shemar stood in front of her, not moving aside so that she
could walk through the doors. Instead, he looked at the gifts that she held in her arms. Two of them.
"...and you came bearing gifts! No gift for me, though?" He asked her, his eyes still fastened to hers. Devyn - 20-12-2011 at 05:31 PM
This was horrible. Completely and totally awful as she was making things incredibly awkward for the both of them. But she couldn’t think!
She didn’t know who this guy was so she didn’t want to say the wrong thing to him! If this was family, she wanted to make a good impression, if he
wasn’t...well she wasn’t going to go into what she was thinking if he wasn’t family. But he had to be. He had Koi’s eyes, minus the color, and
definitely a lot of his swag. Being a smart ass wasn’t going to go over well if her misbehavior got back to people Koi cared about so she was
playing things careful. Really, really careful. But it wasn’t going well that way either. This nameless guy was giving her the hardest time and she
wasn’t even sure how to respond to what she hoped was him just messing with her.
And she told him so, admitting that she had no idea what he wanted to hear. She was willing to tell him whatever if it meant she could walk away from
this whole awkward situation. She shouldn’t have agreed to come here. Her aunt had offered to spend the day with her as Carter had taken off to who
knew where. No. Instead she’d come here. To this. To Koi, his sister, and some stranger that she was making a complete fool of herself in front of.
And as he spoke again she grew tired of trying. Of course, he was kidding. She was too tense, she had been since she’d gotten out of the car. She
just needed to relax. She needed to be herself. That was what was happening. She didn’t know who she was trying to impress and that meant she
didn’t know how she had to act to make the right impression...so she was done acting.
She chuckled a little as he mentioned the gifts, her eyes narrowing playfully, “What do you mean ‘no gift for you’? She paused as her
smile curved into a smirk, “I’m here-,” So sue her! Koi had left her out to dry and she didn’t know who this kid was. She was going to play
his game until he came clean with a relation or Koi came to save her. All she could do was be herself. And herself found this man to be...
Well damn. Shemar - 21-12-2011 at 06:09 PM
And that answer...was definitely more like it. Devyn wanted to play. Shemar had to admit it, he wasn't too sure about little Devyn. She
looked the part of the bad girl. And when he saw her at his door, he had been sure that she could play it a bit too well. But now, there were
doubts. Between the nervous glances and the pauses in the exchange of their conversation, Shemar could tell she was feeling a little uneasy. What was
there to feel uncomfortable about? They were just...talking. Vibing on each other, right? No pressure, as far as he was concerned. Just a friendly
meet and greet...between two friendly people. Although...if she wanted to take their exchange and turn it into something else...something a little
sweeter, he wouldn't have objected. But Devyn wasn't leading up to expectations at all...not until that last little quip after he'd asked about the
presents that she held in her arms. She was his gift? He wasn't too far from believing that, seeing how nicely she was wrapped. But for her to say it?
He wondered if Santa had brought her to his doorstep, meant for Koi, but with a gift tag that said his name instead.
"Is that so...?" He said, chuckling as his eyebrows raised at her reply. "Didn't you say...Koi invited you?" Biting his lip, he challenged her words.
She was his gift? Because it sort of looked like everything that she came packaged with was wrapped up just for his son, not him. Ha. Right.
That was kind of a waste. He wasn't trying to front his son out, but...his son didn't know what to do with a girl like Devyn. Koi was young, stupid as
hell with his head wrapped up in the shit he put into his system more than any female. Put it this way, the only "female" that Koi gave a damn about
was that Mary Jane. Any other woman was inconsequential and Shemar knew enough about his son to know that Koi didn't hide that fact. He didn't
hesitate to let girls know they didn't mean shit. And Shemar knew this to be a fact because despite the time he spent away from his family, he knew
his son. Outside of the drugs, Koi was a lot like him. No matter the numerous interventions and rehab centers, Koi had an eternal love affair with any
chemical that could take him away from the life he had, something that always confused Shemar. his son had a good life, better than the one Shemar had
had, yet he STILL didn't appreciate it. Ungrateful ass. Point was, Koi did the drugs before hugs and Shemar did fucking before feelings. The thing
they had in common? No emotions. When they couldn't feel anything, they could pretend as if it didn't exist.
"Well...guess I owe him a serious 'thank you'." He said, his eyes staring into Devyn's as he leaned into her and spoke softly."Because you...are the
best gift I've gotten in awhile. " With another smile, he stood aside, motioning to her to walk into his home.
"After you..." Devyn - 21-12-2011 at 07:10 PM
She hadn’t meant anything by her last little quip, she was simply returning the flirt he was putting out. She could tell he had been messing with
her from the time he opened the door and the single reason was to see just how...attached, and in what way, she was to Koi. She hadn’t
solidly decided on a reason why but, she was sure it wasn’t because he wanted to later give Koi his approval. He wanted to smash; she could see it
in the way his eyes roamed her body, lingering at her thighs and removing every stitch as he made his to her face. She knew what lust looked like and
in this guy...it kind of looked the same way it did when Koi exuded it. All the more reason for her to believe that this guy was more closely related
than some cousin from Detroit. Koi had never mentioned an older brother...then again, if she had a sister that looked like the spitting image of
herself in 10 years, she might not mention her either...
Is that so... Her smirk never faltered as he spoke, asking her to confirm who invited her, “I did say he invited me. Doesn’t mean I
can’t spread a little holiday cheer before I see him-,” She refused to give more suggestive answers until she found out more about this guy. How
old was he? Where did he come from? And what exactly was his relation to the kid? And she couldn’t get over the nagging feeling that she had seen
him somewhere before. She had just chalked it up to him looking a lot like Koi but, she was sure she remembered his face specifically for
some reason...There were too many questions not to play it safe, but the ‘safe’ she was playing at before had been no fun for anyone. At least
this way she could enjoy her time awkwardly standing in the doorway with this cute stranger until Koi decided to finally show his face. Where the hell
was he? Not that she was complaing too much.
And this cat didn’t seem to be either, telling her that he would have to thank Koi for inviting her because...Aw. Cute. She giggled a bit as he
finally stepped to the side, allowing her to enter the house. Finally. Her smile didn’t falter as she passed him, stepping into the familiar foyer
that led to an even more familiar living room. Although the last time she’d seen it, it was filled with oversexed teenagers. She could feel his eyes
on her back as she walked further into the room, placing the gifts she held on a round table that decorated the entrance. Turning back to her new
friend, she decided that if he wasn’t going to offer the information she needed to take this talk up a notch, she would ask for it.
“So who is Koi to you? He never mentioned an older brother...” she thought about sharing thoughts on him being his father but, she still
couldn’t believe that. She was sure he’d gotten someone pregnant, but not long enough ago for the kid to be Koi’s age right? Or was she
completely stupid? Shemar - 21-12-2011 at 07:52 PM
Watching Devyn walk into the house had been a real treat, no denying that. The girl had a walk that was nearly twice her age, her body sporting curves
that it shouldn't have seen until AT LEAST another ten years. Shemar wasn't positive, but he was very sure that she couldn't have been more than
eighteen if she was hanging with his son. Although, with the way Koi partied, Shemar really wouldn't have been surprised if she was in college. He
really wasn't stupid enough to think that his son partied with his own type. No, Koi's wildness went far beyond the walls of KPA...and that local
public school where the KR nobodies sent their spawn. Shemar had cleaned up enough messes and "sweet talked" enough cops to know that to be true.
There was just something about getting a call at four am to let you know that your son was in lock up...for the second time this month. It kind of
sucked all of the doubts that he had about Koi out the damn window. But did Shemar fix every issue like a goddamn clean up man? Yeah, he did. Did he
empty his pockets just to keep his spiteful ass son's record clean? Fuck yeah, he did. And Koi, as defiant as he was, never really appreciated it.
Fuck his appreciation. Shemar did everything he did for one reason. Kidd. That name. That franchise. That legacy.
Shemar closed the front door behind himself, eyes still on Devyn as she walked, a little bit too familiar-like, into the living room and placed the
gifts that she'd held onto the circular table in the middle of the entrance. She'd been to his home before. Maybe she'd been to one of those wild
parties that Koi threw when ever the house was empty and Eri's nanny was free. There was so much shit left over from those parties that they hired
people to come in and clean after they were over. Vomit stains on Fumie's rugs, condoms in the most hilarious of hiding places and shit in the carpet
that Shemar didn't even WANT to put a name to. All of that a small price to pay to keep Koi from wreaking havoc on the streets as opposed to his own
home. The parties were contained...but they were crazy. Everyone and anyone knew that to be true. And if she'd been to one, that was only further
proof that Devyn was on the naughty list. For a moment, Shemar's eyes floated to the winding, open staircase that led from the top floor to where he
and Devyn stood, wondering when his son would make his "grand" appearance. Not like Shemar was impatient for it. Quite the contrary. Koi could take as
long as he liked...
Unbottoning his suit coat and slipping his hands into his pants pockets, he smiled as Devyn turned around and faced him again. From the look on her
face, the game was about to commence again...with questions? Oh. Questions about his identity. Devyn was curious about who he was? Why couldn't she
just settle for "mysterious stranger"? Now that was a game that he would've loved to introduce her to...because the "getting to know you" part was the
most fun. Who is Koi to you? not an applicable question. At all. Shouldn't the question have been "who was Koi to her"? Friend, classmate,
girlfriend? Did Shemar really give a damn? Not so much. Because "Shemar's Plaything" sounded so much more appealing to him and other titles were
neither necessary or important.
"Koi doesn't have an older brother..." He answered vaguely, his smile reaching his eyes now as he continued to watch her, tease her with his lack of
details. "And why are we asking questions about how I know Koi when I should be asking who he is to you..." Walking towards her, he
looked at her with expectation, waiting for an answer that wouldn't come as a voice from the top of the stairs interrupted their conversation.
"Or maybe you should just answer her question...Pops. She DID ask you first..." Devyn - 22-12-2011 at 05:24 AM
If they were going to keep playing this little game, he was going to have to give her something to go on. She couldn’t keep this up without knowing
who she was talking to. It could lead to a lot of future embarrassment that she was not willing to endure for the sake of a couple minutes of fun
while they waited for Koi. She had to know who the kid was if he wanted her to keep up a conversation and she was no longer taking his silence for an
answer. If he didn’t want to tell her who he was, she would simply ask. And ask she did, her question simple and to the point as he watched her. Did
she expect him to answer? No. Not right away anyway. She could already see that the easy way wasn’t his M.O. and getting a straight answer out of
him was going to be a lot harder than just asking. So she would pester. She wasn’t going to answer his questions until he answered hers and that was
a promise.
But he did answer her, in a way. His cryptic response being that Koi didn’t have an older brother. Okay. So...that was his chance to say something
along the lines of ‘I’m not his brother but his...’ whatever. Why was he so keen on her not knowing who he was? People usually wanted others to
know who they were talking to. It was common courtesy and who didn’t like making themselves known? It was weird and the more he avoided the
question, the more she began to feel like she needed to pull back on everything she was doing until she got a solid answer. It didn’t make
sense...
And it became completely apparent why as Koi joined the two of them, his voice sounding from the top of the stairs. Did he say ‘Pops’? As in his
dad? As in the man that had a hand in giving birth to him? As in...what? No. No, this wasn’t right. That couldn’t have been what she heard. She
looked to the source of the voice that had answered the question she’d been asking since she arrived and the look on his face told her that she was
completely right in what she heard. This guy, the guy she’d been talking to, the guy that had been flirting with her...This was his dad.
”Oh dear God-,” she said it before she could catch herself, but there was no reason to try to cover it. The surprise was clear on her
face. Koi had finally shown his face, only she couldn’t bring herself to tear her eyes away from his...his...his father’s. Fucking gross!
Who the hell did shit like this? Who the hell flirted with a girl young enough to be his kid and was quite possibly his kid’s girlfriend? It
wasn’t fucking right. She took a step back as Koi descended the stairs, approaching the two of them. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. Had he
heard her at the door? Fuck.
God, she hated Christmas. Koi - 22-12-2011 at 03:40 PM
Pulling the earbuds from his ears, Koi wrapped the headphone cords around his iPod and tossed it onto his bed, still bobbing his head to the music
that had just stopped playing. He was in a damn good mood. An oddly good one, actually. Like "epic party" good. Like..."amazing bud" good.
And he hadn't even smoked and as far as Eri was concerned, he wouldn't that day. She'd already decreed it a "sober" day, which meant no lighting up
for him, even IF Devyn was hanging with them for the day. Damn. It was kind of surreal. Devyn was really hanging with he and his sister on Christmas
Day. They were going to sit like some perfect ass family, eat turkey and collard greens until they caught "the itis" and open some presents...probably
in front of some unnecessary fire in the fire place. Why a house in the middle of hot ass Hawaii even had a fireplace, he did not know. But the point
was, for once, Koi was going to have a pretty good Christmas. Not that they weren't good with Eri, but this one would be a different type of good.
He'd never invited anybody over before, not even when he was younger, mostly because he was too embarrassed about the way he spent his holidays. With
Devyn, something made him feel like he didn't have to be embarrassed. Like he wasn't the only person with more shitty Christmases than ones he cared
to remember.
Whistling lightly, he pulled his suit coat on and pushed up the sleeves up, walking to his closet. Peering inside like he'd done the entire morning and the night before, he saw
that tiny, wrapped present sitting on the floor and smiled. He was...kinda nervous. He could admit that. This was the first time...ever...that he was
buying a gift for a female and even though he wanted to put up the front that he hadn't walked the entire mall looking for something just write, he
couldn't even do it. And even still, he wasn't sure that he'd gotten something Devyn would want. Matter of fact, he wasn't even sure that they were
exchanging gifts in the first place. But his smart ass little sister thought it would be wise to get Devyn something, just in case...
Voices. Downstairs. Two of them and not one of them sounded like Eri's voice. One was light, familiar. Devyn. She was here and she'd probably been
ringing the doorbell while he had his damn earphones on. Koi pieced it together quickly as he hear the second voice again. Low. Baritone. Sadly
familiar, too, as it was a voice that should've had their ass out the house a long time ago. The fuck was his Pops still doing at the house?
And a more important question, the fuck was he doing around Devyn? In a couple of strides, he was at his door, ready to rip it the hell open and blast
off at his Pops. Koi wasn't stupid, he knew exactly why his father wasn't where he was supposed to be...which was out the fucking house like he said
he would be, avoiding his own damn flesh and blood like every other holiday at the Kidd residence. He'd caught a whiff of Devyn. And she stopped him
in his tracks. Not like she didn't have the ability to do that with any normal man, but with his father...it certainly didn't take much. And it
wouldn't be long before he started his bullshit and...
Inhaling slowly, Koi closed his eyes, his hand loosening around the doorknob that he was gripping so hard that his damn hand hurt. He had to play
things at least a sort of cool. He couldn't barge in the damn foyer, his mouth poppin' off at his own father. That was the last thing that Devyn
needed to see and the last thing that Koi wanted to show her considering that he really didn't feel like explaining shit about his family to anyone,
Christmas or not. Pulling the door open, he walked to the edge of the foyer, hearing the conversation. His dad and his old ass, crusty ass game. The
fuck? For a second, he just watched his ass. Eying Devyn's body with NO shame. She was fucking sixteen for fucks' sake...not like he even assumed his
father cared. And Pops thought his game was slick, huh? Yeah, Koi was about to throw a wrench in that shit real quick.
All it took was one word...Pops...and his father's eyes cut to him, narrowing in annoyance. So that was the game he was playing? The "I'm not
really Koi's dad" bit? Pathetic. And lame as hell. And if Koi hadn't been so pissed at that weak ass game, he would've laughed out loud at Devyn's
reaction. Smirking, he looked in her direction as he descended the stairs, the shock on her face beyond hiding. Shemar's face recovered quickly
though, that slimy grin on his face as he stretched his hand out to her...like he hadn't been scammin' on that ass the entire time...and then looked
at Koi! Really? He wanted him to introduce them?
"Devyn, meet Shemar Kidd...greatest of all time..." He said, his voice mocking a sports announcer as he rolled his eyes and watched them
shake hands.Devyn - 23-12-2011 at 06:55 AM
She still couldn’t wrap her head around it. This man was Koi’s father. His dad. It was...weird to say the absolute least about the situation and
as thoughts began to run together in her mind she tried picking them apart. Who the hell flirted with a girl lass than half his age? What, she
wondered, would his wife think about this? Oh shit! Koi’s mom could never fucking know. And all at once she felt guilty. She wasn’t sure why
really. She could make a great argument about how none of this was her fault and she hadn’t really flirted back too much...couldn’t she? Would it
matter? It hadn’t with her mother. The many, many times she’d caught her parents fighting over one of her father’s...others,
it never mattered that the girl didn’t know...then again most of them simply didn’t care. Nor did Hilton, who flaunted his playthings like
prizes...ugh. This guy...He was...ugh. She shock on her face gave way to the anger that was threatening to ruin the beginning of her Christmas with
Koi. She hated what his father had tried to turn her into; a home-wrecker.
She didn’t allow her expression to stay the same for too long, her anger slipping to a mild annoyance and then into what she could only hope was a
poker face. She was able to give Koi a weak smile as he came to them, her eyes barely meeting his before they slipped to the floor. Ugh. What she
wouldn’t do to be anyone else, anywhere else at that particular moment. She knew Koi was upset. She could see it in the vein that always
popped out of his temple when they argued. The question was, was he more upset with her or his father?
She would have to ask him later, but for now she would be cordial, nice even, which was saying a lot because her mind was streaming things that her
lips wanted to say to his father. His hand wrapped around hers and it took all she had in her to smile a bit as Koi introduced them officially. Shemar
Kidd...Shemar Kidd? Oh! Oh she knew she knew him from somewhere and as it hit her, the smile on her face became genuine. “Ooh...I knew I
recognized you from somewhere-,” her smile slipped into a smirk as she took her hand back, her body shifting closer to Koi’s, silently voicing her
alignment among the men in the room.
“My mom absolutely loves you.” Shemar - 23-12-2011 at 11:11 AM
His son. His fucking, abrasive, vindictive ass son. Shemar couldn't stop the flare that hit his nostrils as his son descended the stairs, the "Pops"
comment short of leaving his mouth. Did Koi try to irritate him? Because obviously if he'd wanted to let Devyn know that he was Koi's father,
he would've just flat out told her. Their game, he and Devyn's, had gone from "twenty" to zero in no time, the look or realization falling on her face
that he, indeed, was Koi's father...and probably over the age of thirty. But it was always like that with Koi. Making Shemar's life more difficult
than it had to be. If it wasn't getting in trouble, every second, at that private school that cost more than a Lexus to keep him in, it was
fucking up Shemar's game. Every "guest" that Shemar brought in the house (of course, when Fumie was...preoccupied) got a taste of his fucked up little
attitude. A snide comment here, a nasty look there. And his jokes? Yeah, they were delightful. Shemar wasn't stupid. He knew Koi didn't necessarily
appreciate or approve of the way his eye was always floating, especially when what it landed on wasn't Fumie. But that was his business. Shemar's. Not
Koi's. He didn't judge his son's life, did he? All the snorting and puffing he did. No, he just let the kid live his life, even putting him in rehab
centers that were more like a "spa" than an intervention. But no, Koi swatted that hand of friendship and looked down on Shemar like he was shit. Fuck
that kid.
With a surprised exclamation, Devyn looked down at the floor. Yeah, his God too. He was Shemar Kidd. The one and only, baby. And he was also very
happy with that reaction because it meant that she knew she was in the presence of a great. Extending his hand as Koi came to stand in front of the
both of them, his smile settled on her, hoping that she wasn't too overwhelmed to greet him. Although he already had her name, they'd make the shit
official and shake hands...and then, they could get back to flirting like Koi wasn't even there. Because he wasn't her man. No way she could be with
the way she was flirting with Shemar. Besides, Koi didn't "title" them. He was just like his father had been...before he'd slipped up, like a dummy
and put a ring on something that he wasn't ready for. But that love thing. Got in his way, clouded him up. Made him think he had to change and be a
one woman man. Now that he knew the truth, he didn't hesitate to fix his behavior and focus on the good things in life. Like Devyn...well, like she
could be.
I knew I recognized you from somewhere... "Is that right?" He muttered, smirking at her. Fuckin' right she did. For the seventeen years that
he'd given the NBA, she should've been sure for the moment that she'd laid eyes on him that she was staring at an NBA legend. A Hall of Famer. The
Greatest. It was okay though. He knew some people were slow on recognizing him. Now that she knew, her face changed, her smile settling into a
sexy smirk. Nodding, he bit his lip, ready to pull that handshake a bit closer...until she pulled her hand away and drew...closer to Koi, her next
words making his smile melt a bit faster than he would've necessarily liked it to. Her mom? HER MOTHER? What was she trying to do? Play his life?
Apparently Koi thought so, his eyes rounding as his mouth fell open, a short laugh breaking before he clamped his mouth shut again.
"Yeah...well...she's got good taste." He said slowly, smirking sourly. Okay, she wanted to play like she hadn't been flirting her ass off with him
before his son got downstairs? Okay. He could play that game. But one thing about Shemar, one thing that made him a winner...his aggressiveness. He
didn't give up easy...Devyn - 23-12-2011 at 07:47 PM
Ha! If she wasn’t so fucking mad at this character she would have laughed in his face. To think that her calling out to God had anything to do with
anything other than her absolute disgust with his old ass was laughable. Really? Was he serious right now? Any appeal he had before had faded
once she discovered he was old enough to be her father; not to mention that fact that he actually was Koi’s father. She’d made out with
Koi for Christ’s sake. But maybe his dad didn’t know that they were...Hell, she didn’t know what they were but what she wasn’t was attracted
to some kid in her class’ father. Shit was weird. Yes, okay, fine. She would admit he was cute when she though he was an older brother, no older
than maybe twenty-five but, now...that he was Koi’s father? Gross. Gross and completely off limits and if he thought it would go beyond her saying
hello to him when she was over here that he was fucking delusional.
That was if she got invited back. Koi was pissed, she could see it but, the strange thing was, he didn’t seem to be upset with her. She’d seen him
when he came down, hear the way he’d introduced his dad...it wasn’t Devyn he was mad at...She couldn’t think about it now, Shemar’s hand
catching hers only to have it taken from him after a brief moment. He probably would have done it himself anyway once she made her comment about her
mother loving him. Her smirk became a devilish little smile as Koi laughed a little and Shemar’s smile slipped. Good. She wanted to make it
perfectly clear that there was no chance in the pits of Hell of them continuing what they had been when he opened the door. And to his response?
She scoffed, shaking her head just a little before she spoke, “You don’t know my father-,” her eyes settled square on his before she finished,
her eyebrow raising, “...but you’re a lot alike.” Damn right they were. Lying, cheating, half-assed human beings that didn’t deserve a lot of
what they were given. Like her respect. She wasn’t going to pretend she hadn’t noticed that he hadn’t sent Koi a second glance after the annoyed
sneer he given upon his arrival. The blatant disregard for Koi’s feelings was obvious and what made it worse was that...whether she liked it or not,
she was part of the reason. Shit. She hated this shit! And she hadn’t come here for it...And part of her didn’t want to stay.
She turned to Koi then, her eyes flashing the apology her lips wouldn’t speak in front of his father. “So, where’s your better half-,” she
asked with a small smile. “I brought her something.” She still didn’t know if they were doing a gift exchange but, she had to say something to
him other than blurting out an apology. Koi - 24-12-2011 at 11:08 AM
You don't know my father, but you're a lot alike... Oh shit! Koi closed his eyes, clamping his lips together quickly and tried to pass that
shit off as a smile. Devyn was going hard and Koi couldn't do anything but stand there and watch his Pops' undercover tight face get tighter
and tighter with every comment. She was playing his life to the right and the funny thing was his Pops knew it and couldn't do anything but take that
shit. Koi didn't even feel a tad bit sorry for his pervy ass. It was his bad, not Devyn's and honestly, it was about time his father figured out that
everything that had two tits and a pussy wasn't trying to put it on him. One thing he could say about his Pops, that dude pulled the best of them. Koi
had seen every color of the damn spectrum, every persuasion, come through that house. Shit was like a Gambino song. The only problem, his crusty ass
was married and a father and some of the bitches he was running were Koi's age. Maybe not the exact age, all the time...but the fact that his father
actually ran with girls that were only a few months older was fucking ridiculous. Shemar Kidd still had a damn wife...and that fact alone made him a
grimey. There was no pity for him as Devyn made him look and probably feel older than dirt. He deserved it. Every bit of it.
Checking his suit coat sleeves again, only to avoid his father's eyes, Koi cleared his throat and smiled. "You know what would be a crazy idea? You
should give Dev's parents an autograph! I know they'd dig that." Okay, he was laying it on thick. From what Devyn had told him, her Moms wasn't in the
picture at the moment and her father? Koi hadn't even heard a mention of him until now. An autograph was probably not going to make it to either of
them, but the opportunity to rub his father's age and pointless flirting with Devyn into his face was an opportunity that he would've been stupid to
take. And it kept him from being a complete ass to his Pops in front of Devyn. He was still being an ass. But at least he wasn't being mad
disrespectful. Not like he wanted to be.
"And uh, maybe you can do that when you get back. You know...from where you were headed?" Pops needed to catch the hint. There was nothing there for
him at the house, as he'd pretty much made clear when he refused to even stay around long enough to see his own daughter open the presents that he had
his assistants buy her and try to pass of as his own. Seeing Devyn at the door didn't have anything to do with him...and it sure the fuck didn't
invite him to stay. They had a good thing going, the three of them. The party wasn't open for invitation, especially for a parent that didn't care to
spend two seconds wishing his only son and daughter, "Merry Christmas"...and telling him that he loved them. But that would've been a damn lie.
Turning away from his father, Koi faced Devyn as she questioned him about Eri, separating her and his father.
"She's upstairs. Still trying to find something 'festive' to wear in her closet. It's a sea of black up in there...I swear." Laughing, he looked at
his Pops out of the corner of his eye, half listening to the rest of Devyn's comment. He was too busy watching his father grab his keys and shoot a
look back at the both of them before he left.
"Later Pops." Koi said, his jaw clenching in dull anger as he tried to ignore his father's reply.Devyn - 24-12-2011 at 06:20 PM
Devyn’s mind was in overdrive trying to think of something to say to get her out of this awkward situation. Hell, out of this house was beginning to
sound more and more like a good idea to her. She hadn’t been here ten minutes and she was already trying to think up an exit strategy. At least this
time it wasn’t Koi that caused her need for escape. It was a different Kidd, a much older one as she was made aware. Sadly, it was entirely too late
and if the pig had’ve just been honest, he would have at least still had her respect. He did not. Like so many of the other men in her
life, he’d done something selfish and stupid and gotten himself drowned in a pool of insiginificant. He didn’t matter. She was cool with Koi, and
if he was still cool with her, she hoped they could salvage the rest of their Christmas...But for the future, Koi need only invite her here when his
father wasn’t home. Hell, having him there now was using all of her restraint not to tell him exactly how gross she actually thought he was.
Of course, that didn’t mean she couldn’t play his life just the same. And she could see her every word getting on a nerve that was threatening to
snap at any minute. And Koi’s snickering wasn’t helping any. Nor was his suggestion for Shemar to have him autograph something for her parents.
Damn...she knew he was joking but, she had been telling the truth when she said her mother loved Shemar Kidd. Unlike Devyn she was a basketball
junkie. Apparently it was something her and her dad bonded over before he passed away. Devyn used to drop everything she was doing to watch a the
games with her mom and she never tired of seeing Pistons highlights for Shemar’s recaps. He was good with a basketball, Devyn couldn’t pretend she
hadn’t seen him play and she wouldn’t front like it wasn’t true...If only his kid was named ‘Spalding’...
Devyn smiled politely as Koi suggested his father’s leaving. She thought about giving a weak apology for holding him up but, she was done with him,
done with any kind of cordiality with a man that care nothing about his son’s feelings and even less about hers. He was looking out for number
one...it was what she was used to...So she tried to cut him out of the conversation, her questions about Eri directed at Koi as he turned to her and
spoke as if his father wasn’t even there. And he seemed to take the hint, backing away as Koi answered her, leading her further into the living room
and away from Shemar. At least she knew he wanted her to stay and he wasn’t too upset with her.
She waited until she heard the front door of his place close, a short goodbye to his facther on her lips before her smile faded and she looked up at
him. “Koi, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know who he was and...you know, if you want, I can just go...” She really wouldn’t blame him. What
kind of idiot wouldn’t know someone’s father when they saw them? He probably didn’t believe a word of what she was saying, but it was true...if
it mattered. Koi - 25-12-2011 at 02:53 PM
The only sound that Koi wanted to hear was the sound of the front door closing. The signal that his father was finally doing what he'd planned to do
that Christmas Day...which was leave his own blood to their own devices and pretend, like he always did, that his family didn't exist. Nothing was
stopping him. Devyn had made that completely obvious. Koi had made that even more obvious as he led the conversation into the living room, his eyes
never completely leaving his father. The hesitance in his steps weren't a good thing, but his movement to the door and out of it was. Even if the look
he gave before he left said that Koi would answer to his snide comments later. "Answering" meaning a "lecture" on how it is not at all kosher to foul
up his Pop's game like that. That blatant motherfucker. So ignorant of his commitment, of his life, that he didn't give a shit about what he looked
like when he said that dumb shit to his own son.
As the door closed, he turned back to Devyn, shaking his head at his father's dumb ass. "I'm too sorry about all of that. Seriously..." Rubbing his
head and the headache that was threatening to form inside of it because of the foolishness, he turned to Devyn, only to hear her apologizing too.
What? What the hell was she apologizing for? Having to listen to his Pops' ridiculous pick up lines? Yeah, he'd be sorry about that too. She didn't
owe him an apology at all. Even...if she was kind of flirting with his Pops. That had been the conversation that he'd broken up. No, Koi wasn't mad
about it. His dad looked mad young. Young enough to snag a bad bitch, half his damn age. And Devyn...was his...friend. She could do whatever she
wanted. Hopefully not with his father, next time. But yeah...she could. And he would pretend. He'd play like he didn't get a little heated even when
he accepted that fact.
"Eh, Dev. Stop. Right there. You're not leaving. We've still got Christmas, homie." Shaking his head as he grinned at her, he turned to the stairs
again, walking towards the foot of the stairs and leaned over the rail. "Eri?" His voice echoed up the stairs and to, what he knew, was a waiting
little sister, bidding her time. Waiting for the moment that he no-good, ass of a father to leave. "You can come down, babe. He's gone..."
And that's what Eri had been waiting for as the door slammed to her room, her footsteps thundering down the stairs. She stopped at the foot of them,
jumping the last step, her eyes set on Devyn. Devyn - 26-12-2011 at 07:06 PM
She was really tense. Tense because she knew what was coming, another shouting match with Koi, only this time he would be right and she wouldn’t be
able to argue. She didn’t have a viable argument so she would just beat him to the punch with an apology. She was sorry she’d flirted with his
perverted father before she knew who exactly he was. She was sorry she’d probably ruined his Christmas and she was more than willing to leave. She
thought she would beat him to the punch but, as soon as the front door closed, there was an apology on his lips as well. What? Why? He hadn’t done
anything he shouldn’t have...until now. He shouldn’t have been apologizing for his father. He shouldn’t have had to apologize
for his father. But she knew the feeling; being so ashamed of something her father had done even though he had no shame left himself...Of course, his
dad had nothing on the indiscretions of her father...
His voice cut her off as he told her she wasn’t leaving. They were still making a day out of this...and they were going to enjoy it. She smiled, a
relief settling over her now that she was sure they wouldn’t fight on Christmas. She didn’t want to argue with him today. Not that Christmas meant
much to her but, it just seemed...different today. She didn’t know why but, she wanted this to go... well. It sounded stupid in her head; who
didn’t want to have a good Christmas? It was just...she hadn’t had much to look forward to by way of holidays...hell, lately by way of
life. She had been excited about spending the day with Koi and his sister and she wanted nothing more than to have this day meet her
expectations. She was hopeful. For the first time in quite a while she had high hopes for something and she wasn’t about to let Shemar Kidd take
that from her. She would push his passes to the back of her mind and bury them among the many things she chose to forget about. Today wasn’t about
him. It was about Koi. And about Eri...
Devyn watched as he called up the stairs to her, letting her know her father was gone. Damn...was it really that bad around here? She could understand
if it was. She wondered if Shemar had seen his daughter that morning...or if he even cared to. She wouldn’t dwell on it. She couldn’t as Eri
quickly appeared, bounding down the stairs and even jumping the last one. Devyn giggled as she stopped, their eyes meeting. This one had a lot of
energy.
“You’re absolutely adorable-,” She hadn’t meant to say it. She’d always hated it when people described her like a puppy rather than
a person but, she couldn’t help herself! It was completely true. She imagined Eri looked like her mother as the only thing she got from her father
was her color and maybe her height. She was beautiful. And the smile on her face gave the complete feel it was supposed to.
It was Christmas. Koi - 28-12-2011 at 08:51 AM
A warm smile formed on Koi's face as Eri tromped down the stairs, stopping on the last one to jump from it like she always did. Those big eyes, that
Koi couldn't help but tease her about, were staring straight at Devyn, taking her in. That was a constant thing with Eri, too. The way she looked at
new things, new people...it always let you know that she was remembering you for life. She let her head fall to the side as she stared, her hand
pushing back the thick curls that reached the middle of her back when they weren't in a ponytail or a bun. Koi couldn't help but wonder what Eri
thought of Devyn...as this was a first. "A first" meaning this was the first time he'd actually let Eri meet one of his...friends. Of course she knew
Derrick and a couple of the other guys, but that was different. This was kind of new. Koi didn't hang with a lot of girls and the ones he did hang
with, there weren't exactly...playing Spades and shooting the shit. Devyn was different though...and he wondered if Eri could see that too.
At Devyn's words, Eri's eyes lit up, her petite mouth curling into a real smile. Koi caught himself smile as well. Eri didn't necessarily like being
called "cute" or "adorable" or even "pretty"...at all. And Koi would've warned Devyn if he'd known the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
But he didn't have to...because Eri smiled at them. Good sign. Really good sign. With a quick look that was only for Koi, Eri watched her big brother.
It was almost like she was waiting for a cue as to what to say next or something. That was pretty usual though. Eri was what Koi liked to
call..."socially different". If anyone got their father's gift of controlling the social atmosphere, it was definitely Koi. Eri, on the other hand,
caught the brains...which pretty much left no space for how to behave socially. All that brilliance and knowledge made for a...pretty weird kid. And
Koi loved every fucking molecule of her.
Nodding as he smiled brighter, she turned back to Devyn, pulling at the only red dress she probably owned, a small "thank you" leaving her. Blushing at the cheeks, she walked quickly to Koi, her arms going around his waist
as she continued to watch Devyn. She was the brainiest little nerd ever. But she was still a kid. A shy one at that...
"And this is Eri..." He said, moving her curls from her face as he smiled down at her. "Eri, this is Devyn..." Pushing her from him softly, Koi
watched Eri step forward a bit and hold out her hand for Devyn to shake.
"He's...Koi's said a lot about you." Her tiny voice sounded like tinkling bells against the silence of the house, Nat King Cole playing softly over
the house's intercom. "He...said you were pretty. He was right." Devyn - 28-12-2011 at 06:20 PM
Eri was completely cute! Devyn had always wanted a baby sister. Someone that would look up to her and ask her advice on things they weren’t sure
about...Instead she was stuck with a dickbag older brother, Kareem who only had time for her when he wasn’t kissing their father’s ass or finding
some to get into. And her dream would remain unfulfilled as her parents certifiably hated one another, even though neither of them would admit
it...why would they. Wasn’t it obvious enough?But that wasn’t on her mind now, watching Eri take her in, a curious smile on a face half hidden by
the curls on her head. She allowed the awkward pause that followed as Eri looked to her brother for something to say. Koi just kind of smiled. It
was...different, Koi smiling.
Sure, Devyn had made him laugh on many an occasion and he smiled at her plenty but, the way he was looking at Eri was...different. Special.
He absolutely adored her. Every piece of him loved the hell out of that kid and it was...Devyn’s smile grew a bit at the thought as Eri’s eyes
fell back on her a quiet thanks on her lips before she went to stand with her brother. Her cheeks were glowing as she wrapped an arm around his waist,
half hiding herself behind his tall frame, her eyes still peeking at Devyn. She was shy...that made her even cuter! Damn it! It was taking everything
in her not to completely embarrass herself and Eri by gushing over her. Devyn loved kids and even though Koi had warned her that Eri was a
little...different she could already tell that the two of them were going to get along just fine.
Koi interrupted her thoughts introducing his sister as he ran a hand over her curls. God, they were even cuter together! Eri extended her hand for
Devyn to take and she did so, bending giving it a small shake. “It’s very nice to meet you, Eri-,” and it was too true. Koi pushed her forward
as Devyn gave her her hand back. Finally she spoke.
He’d said a lot about her? Oh, really? Devyn’s smile became a smirk as her eyes fell on Koi, a shrug on his shoulders. Hm. She wondered what
he’d said. She’d have to ask him about it when they weren’t with Eri. “I promise you I’m a good person-,” she joked with a wink as her
eyes left Koi. Devyn giggled a little as Eri spoke again. He...said you were pretty. He was right. Oh. Well. That was...not an adjective that
sounded like Koi. She was dwelling. She shouldn’t have been dwelling but, she totally was. She knew Koi thought she was attractive so it really
shouldn’t have mattered much that his sister was repeating it...or maybe that was why it mattered.
Koi was telling his family about her. Obviously not all of it as his father made it pretty clear that he had no idea who she was to Koi befre this
morning but, she was a topic of conversation in the Kidd household. Hmm. “That’s sweet Eri, Thanks-,” She looked to Koi as a silence settled
once again. This one she wasn’t going to allow to linger.
“So what’s the plan kid?” she asked sweetly, her focus becoming Koi. “Or should I go ahead and ask the decision maker?"Koi - 29-12-2011 at 07:02 PM
Even though Eri's gaze was probably a lot more...piercing than the normal nine year old, Devyn just seemed to sort of...take it. That
impressed Koi, more than he was willing to say, as he watched the two girls shake hands, one a bit more awkwardly than the other. The slight
awkwardness didn't even phase Devyn as she spoke to Eri, her smile never leaving her full lips. And that made Koi smile in return. This was half the
reason that very few people he hung around got the chance to meet his genius baby sis'. People couldn't handle her. She was...a package full of the
most awesome shit he could imagine. "Sugar, spice and everything nice" didn't even begin to describe his little babe. Just because Koi saw that, it
didn't mean that everyone else saw her that way too. In the eyes of other people, her classmates, their family friends...probably even their own
parents, she was just...weird. Off the charts. The opposite of "normal". The opposite of "right". Nothing she said ever made sense as she thought a
lot faster than she could express herself. Her brain made logic out of stuff that Koi didn't even understand. The oddest things interested her and she
loved studying more than anything. And glitter, Disney channel, and Selena Gomez weren't the first thing on her mind when she woke up in the morning.
Even in all that...Devyn kept smiling. Not like how you smile a sideshow freaks, so unsure of how to react that the only thing left to do IS smile.
But a genuine smile. A real one. One that actually said something other than "fake as hell"...or worst. Fear.
Koi's said a lot about you... Hold up. The fuck? That little...that was the first thing she said to Devyn? That Koi actually had conversation
about Devyn with his family? "His family" meaning Eri as his Mom was "too busy" to even care what came out of his mouth in the first place. And his
dad? Yeah, if Koi gave him an inch and brought a girl home he cared about, his dad would fuck her the first chance he got. That had just been proven
minutes before, his father laying down his old ass mack on a girl that would've clearly gotten him behind bars. The point was, Eri had opened her big,
smart mouth and let it slip that Koi had spoken two words about Devyn...which he had. Two words. Okay, maybe...maybe a couple of sentences. That was
obvious though, right? How could he not say anything about a girl that was going to spend Christmas day with he and his sister? He had to give Eri the
head's up, of course. Yeah, he only talked about Devyn because of Eri's comfort. Yeah. Well...that's what he was going to tell himself until he
believed it. With that thought, he smiled at Devyn, shrugging as she looked at him, wanting to verify the words leaving Eri's lips. His smile didn't
stick for long, sliding off as he heard Eri's next words.
"C'mon babe..." he muttered at Eri, smirking at Devyn as her eyes returned to his. Eri was killing him. KILLING HIM. Now she was telling Devyn that he
thought she was pretty? That was a given, of course. From day one, even when he was coming down from a bad E roll, blasting her out about a fucking
seat and getting kicked in the nuts, he'd known how bad she was. He didn't hesitate to give her a look and remind himself, from time to time. Of
course she never saw him, but he didn't pause when he got a chance to check her out...make sure all of her curves still rode the same way. But to say
she was "pretty"? That meant something different. Even if he hadn't exactly said it. Eri had asked, he'd stayed quiet...which meant "yes". That was
enough for Eri and evidently, she thought it was enough for Devyn too as she told her, not taking a damn breath to even debate whether she'd let that
secret out or not. With a quiet laugh, Koi bit smiled and pulled Eri back by the fabric of her dress, his arms draping over her shoulders, pulling her
into him. Her skin of her cheek felt hot as it brushed Koi's arm. She was blushing again, probably at Devyn's appreciation.
"That's not up to me." He said, answering Devyn's question. "That's totally up to Eri as she planned the entire day..." Nudging a nodding Eri, he
smiled at Devyn again, his eyes roaming the length of her Eri broke into a list of the entirety of their day and what it would involve. In the middle
of "baking gingerbread cookies" and "opening gifts", Koi caught Devyn's eye, the words "You...look fucking hot." mouthed silently in her direction.Devyn - 30-12-2011 at 06:27 PM
She wasn’t afraid of Eri. Why should she be? She was just a kid. One of the most adorable Devyn had every seen. Okay, maybe she was bias because she
wanted to like her for Koi but, honestly, Eri was too cute for words. Sure she was staring a little hard and maybe she was a little shy but, what kid
wasn’t a little curious around new people? She had every right to look, stare at Devyn if she wanted to. She was a guest in her home and whatever
made Eri comfortable, Devyn would have to deal with...or leave. And she wasn’t ready to leave yet. Sure, she had been, what with Koi’s dad
throwing her for a complete left but, now she was back in her element. Koi wasn’t mad at her and his kid sister had done nothing but smile since she
trotted down the stairs. This was going to be fine. Christmas with the Kidds was going to be absolutely perfect and she was ready to get started.
As was Eri it seemed. Koi answered her question, informing Devyn that his sister had planned an entire day of activities and they would be busy for
hours to come, or so Eri made it seem, running through a list of things beginning at board games and going into a Christmas themed movie marathon.
Spending the day here was no longer a question and her regrets about coming here were quickly dissipating. They were going to forget everything that
had happened before this moment and make the most out of a holiday that had meant little to everyone involved...hm. A Christmas worth remembering...It
sounded...nice.
As Eri ran through her list of activities for the day Devyn’s eyes caught Koi’s, his mouth silently voicing a compliment that...quite different
from him calling her pretty. Ha. She was pretty sure that hadn’t happened by the way. ‘Pretty’ said more about her person than her body when a
boy said it and she couldn’t see Koi telling his sister much of anything about her, let alone that she was ‘pretty’. Fucking hot? That she
believed, and not simply because she’d seen him say it. It was more Koi more...lust than the like that neither of them would acknowledge was
there...She nodded her thanks, winking, before her eyes came back to focus on Eri who was finishing her list.
“Well, sugar I guess we should get started-,” she said holding her hand out for Eri to take. “You wanna lead the way for me?”Koi - 2-1-2012 at 06:00 PM
__________________________________
The unnecessary fire in the "just for show", electric fireplace flickered light into the dimming living room. Either the sun had gone down crazy fast
that day or Koi had actually been having too much fun to notice the time passing. Eri had begged Koi to turn down the thermostat, just so it could
"feel" like winter. "Like winter in Hawaii". Direct quote. The evening had been full of things like that. Little things that had that day feeling more
like "Christmas" than Christmas ever had before. Not that spending December 25th with just Eri in the past hadn't been special. Every Christmas with
his little babe held a special place in his memory, every single one of them. But this year was...different. Maybe it was the billion paper snowflakes
that Eri had cut out put all around the house like "Elf" on crack. Or maybe, it was the smell of the real fir tree she'd picked out and worried the
shit out of their mother about hiring someone to put up. It looked like a Martha Stewart and Santa's Workshop love child. Or...it was the obvious
answer. Devyn. From the second she'd agreed to come over that day, to spend time with Koi and his sister, things had felt different before
the holiday had even started. Different like...something right had been thrown into the equation. Something was balancing out. Christmas wasn't a
holiday that Koi looked forward to. Not like he looked forward to any holiday. He was happier avoiding them and sleeping them away. Obliviously. The
only reason why he didn't avoid that day (even though his parents did) was because Eri deserved more than the memory of shouting, angry
voices, tears and plates flying across the kitchen as a synonym for "Merry Christmas". Even with all of the good memories that he and Eri had made
together, despite all of the good times, the one year that ruined everything for Koi haunted his holidays, hovering over Christmas like a bad, gray
ass storm cloud, heavy with the expectation of something gray and more like the expected.
That day was free of "dark". It had been kind of Christmas that Eri deserved and Koi knew that he had Devyn to thank. Inviting his chick homie had
been beyond a good idea as she'd taken on everything that his little sis had thrown at her. Baking, playing chess, watching "Frosty the Snowman" and
the "Return of Frosty" back to back. Yeah, Koi was definitely recognizing her gangster. She kept a straight face and actually seemed like she had been
enjoying herself. Keeping his kid sister company wasn't on the list of duties, he hoped she knew that. He hadn't invited her to babysit, but it seemed
like the she and his sister just couldn't stay away from each other. Devyn's smile hadn't faltered the entire day and just hearing the two laugh
together, hushed voices whispering to each other as he watched them cookie cut gingerbread men in the kitchen, standing back after he got tired of
being "shooed" from their side. It made him smile...and he couldn't help but find it a little hard to stop watching...
"Movie's over, babes." Koi said over his shoulder, his long legs propped up on the arm of the over-sized sofa, his black suit coat thrown over the
back of it. He smiled at the giggles streaming from Eri as she moved her rook on the wooden chessboard that sat between she and Devyn on the floor.
The movie hadn't mattered, the chess game that the girls had been playing since that morning had their attention and it looked like Eri was close
to...winning, he guessed. He couldn't even say that he knew what the fuck was going on on that chessboard. He was just glad Eri had someone that
actually knew what they were doing.
"Hey..." He spoke a little louder, leaning up from the sofa pillow where he was leaning. Hesitantly, their eyes met him, Devyn's looking to where he
sat first. With a small smirk, he watched her for a moment before he looked away and nodded to the flat screen. That was how the entire day had been
going. Lots of him sitting and watching and plenty of giggling and bonding on their part. Not a bad thing though. It was nice to see Eri open up to
someone as the girl had been yapping Devyn's ear off the moment the fun started.
"Are we doing...oh, let me correct myself. Am I doing another movie? You know...since I have to entertain myself and
shit..."Attempting to hide his grin, he slumped into the sofa, his arms crossing over his chest as he pouted playfully. With a giggle, his sister
walked over to him, wrapping her arms over his shoulders as she leaned against his back.
"You are...insufferable." She said, laughing as he curls fell to his shoulders. "And since you're feeling 'ignored', you big baby, you want to...open
gifts now? How about it, Devyn? I saw some from you on the table at the front door. Can we...open them now?"Devyn - 3-1-2012 at 02:15 PM
Devyn’s brows furrowed more as she looked over the pieces on the chess board and tried to make a decision. She sucked at chess. She had been bad at
chess since her father tried teaching it to her and with him being too “busy” to keep up the lessons, she never really learned beyond the basics.
Eri had kicked her ass in at least three games that day but it didn’t matter. Devyn would play her cute butt in a hundred more if it made her happy.
Because she was. Eri hadn’t stopped smiling since taking Devyn’s hand and walking her completely through the list she’d gone down when Dev first
asked. They’d made gingerbread houses and the gingerbread families that supposedly lived in them all while Koi pretty much watched and cried for
attention. It was too cute! He would ruffle Eri’s hair or lean all over Devyn begging to be included. She’d never met this Koi. He was playful and
silly. Especially with Eri. Devyn never would have guessed Koi was good with kids. Not that he was a bad guy he...just didn’t fit the type, she
guessed. She had been wrong though. This was more of Koi than she’d ever seen. He was showing her something that made him a lot more human than he
had been...and she liked it.
She made a move finally, her last knight coming to block the queen as she tried to remember how all of the pieces in chess were supposed to move. Ha.
She was sure Eri thought she was the world’s biggest loser when it came to chess, and she wouldn’t have been wrong. Eri made her move almost
immediately, her rook coming to block the only move that wouldn’t get Devyn’s queen taken. Shit. Well, this game was as good as over. And just in
time it seemed. Koi was calling for their attention again. Her eyes looked to where he sat as he told them that the movie that had mostly been
watching them was over. She giggled as he pouted and Eri moved to comfort him. “Sounds like somebody’s feeling a little left out-,” she teased
as his sister hugged him, Koi’s face lighting up at the simple touch. Devyn remembered being on the other end of that. Kareem hadn’t always been
an ass. Just like her father, he’d become one over time. She remembered being as close to her brother as Eri and Koi were now...times changed...so
did people.
But today wasn’t about her or her family. It was about Eri and giving her a Christmas she’d worked really hard to make “feel” like
Christmas...right down to have the house air down to a cool 55 degrees. It may have been 80 outside but it sure as hell was winter in December in the
Kidd household. Devyn sat up, smiling as she watched Eri tease Koi before her eyes found Devyn again. Gifts. Right. She’d forgotten about them
completely but, boy was she glad she brought them. She hadn’t known if they were giving gifts but, she was glad she brought something just in case.
Although she still wasn’t sure if Eri would like what she’d gotten her.
“Sure we can, sugar. I’m on your time-,” she laughed as Eri bounced off toward the door before she could stand up completely. She stretched,
having been in that floor for who knew how long with Eri. Devyn’s eyes looked to Koi again as she approached the couch, “Somebody’s jealous-,”
she teased swatting at his feet so that she could sit at the other end of the couch. “You should be. I might steal her from you.”
She smiled as Eri returned boxes in hand. She gave them both to Devyn but she passed the bigger one back, “This one’s for you kid. I hope you like it.”Koi - 3-1-2012 at 06:06 PM
Koi's first move was jealously. Like, for real, green-eyed monster jealousy over how quickly and how close Devyn got in there. Two seconds in his
house, a couple of presents and a smile and Devyn had taken all the attention of his little babe from him. She was good. And she was real, which was a
lot more than he could have said about anyone else, outside of himself, when it came to Eri. A lot of people, her teachers, school officials, her own
classmates, even...they liked to fake shit with her, but behind it all, most of them were really just...scared. Scared of her intelligence, scared of
the face that she acted like a kid almost twice her age sometimes. And scared that she could see right through their bullshit. Even her own parents
faked it to make it with her. Their mother barely spent anytime with her, provided a closet full of Burberry and Dior, shit that didn't even fit Eri's
style and calling that her duty as a mother. Bullshit. That didn't do shit but try to fill the space that their mother's constant absence left. And
Shemar? There was no reason even letting himself think how his Pops treated Eri because all it would do was make Koi wish he'd snorted a Perc like he
wanted to after that fucking loser left the house that morning. But he willed himself to get over everything that transpired...for her. For Eri. And
it seemed like Devyn had done the same, her side barely deserted the entire day as she and Eri were joined at the hip. It was good for Eri, though.
Even though Koi loved her more than breathing, having a brother had to be tough on her, especially when all they had was each other. It was probably
pretty nice to have a female around her, doting on her the way Koi did, giving her the attention that he was the only one giving her. He couldn't lie,
it was...nice to see her smile at someone else the way she did at Koi. Especially someone like Devyn.
Feeling his sister's arms fall around his shoulders, he sat up, letting her nuzzle into his back, soaking up the love that he hadn't had all day
because of a certain someone, stealing all the spotlight and shit. Hearing Devyn's voice, he smiled and gave a sarcastic laugh, making a pointless
attempt to look around his sister and at Devyn, but Eri was hooked so tightly around his neck. But he could feel Devyn watching them together,
watching the dynamic that he was sure no one would've believed if they saw it. Not like he was some rough, kid hating jerk...but Koi was definitely
the "jerk" part of that description. He didn't take much off of anyone and his sneer and sarcasm was much more available than a smile, any day. He
hadn't been this...relaxed, laid back around Devyn...around anyone, honestly. Not even his boys. There was no reason to be. There was so much coming
in from all sides most of the time and the only thing that made it all blur out was medicinal elevation. But when he was with Eri, none of that shit
really mattered. She kept him high...
"Yeah, Devyn...can we open gifts?" he mocked Eri, she ignored him as Devyn's answer came. With a silly pout face, he kissed his sister on the cheek
before she let go, jetting towards the hallway to retrieve Devyn's gifts from the foyer. He looked over his shoulder, out of the side of his eye,
catching Devyn getting up from the floor, coming to the side of the couch where he lounged. Just like he'd been doing the entire day, he watched her.
Their eyes had met on occasion, saying words that they couldn't really speak. That had been the only conversation they'd had that day as Eri dominated
both of their time.
"Jealous? Of you? What?" Biting his lip, he pulled his wing tipped Oxfords out of the reach of her hands, letting his feet fall to the floor so that
she could sit next to him. Grabbing her wrist, he pulled her down beside him as she talked about Eri. She liked her, he knew it. He leaned back onto
the back of the couch, his body falling closer to hers. He smiled again, looking up at her as he slumped into the sofa. He wanted to keep up their
banter. There was something about hearing the sound of her voice...especially as he hadn't heard it directed at him the entire day. The chatter had
been between she and Eri, even during dinner, Koi sitting quietly, listening to the both of them go on about any and everything. He just liked the
sound of it. Them. Tinkling laughter, soft smiles, the excited rush of speech when the conversation got really good. Koi loved it.
Hearing the thud of Eri's boots against the hardwood, Koi sat up a bit, seeing her bring in two boxes instead of just one. He looked at Devyn again,
smiling. She'd actually brought something for his little sister...and for him. Handing the bigger one to Eri, Devyn held the smaller one by her side.
She wanted to wait. Good. So did he. Eri could keep the spotlight.
"What'd you get babe?" Koi asked as he leaned forward to get a better look. An excited "Oh wow!" sounded as Eri laughed again, jumping up from the
ripped paper from Devyn's gift, hugging Devyn around the neck. Koi leaned forward, grabbing the book from the floor. Encyclopedia of Serial
Killers? She remembered. For what seemed like the fucking fiftieth time that night, Koi looked at Devyn, his eyes lite up to the high heavens,
holding up that book. And she knew exactly what that meant as she peeked around Eri's curls. She fucking remembered. Koi had only mentioned
once how much his little sister liked unsolved crimes and serial killers. Eri was a lover of the some pretty dark shit. What could he
say? But the fact that Devyn remembered? That was...yeah. That was beyond cool.
"Nice Eri..." He said quietly, his eyes still on Devyn as his sister came to take the book from his hands, ignoring her other gifts as she settled on
the couch between Devyn and him.Devyn - 4-1-2012 at 07:21 PM
Oh, she was only kidding. She didn’t actually think he was jealous of the bond Devyn was building with his sister. He knew his place couldn’t be
taken, poor Eri was just...taken. Devyn knew how hard it was being the little sister to an older brother. When mom wasn’t around, sometimes you just
wanted the company of another girl. Someone like you, willing to give you the time and attention no one else was. Eri had been missing that and Devyn
had gladly provided it for her. Koi had no reason to be jealous, Devyn was simply giving Eri something she’d been missing. A big sister. Ahh, but he
was jealous. Ha. She could tell he was because he was trying to play it off just as he had when she brought up Carter. Jealous? Of you? Yeah.
Of her. She giggled a little bit as he pulled at her wrist and she sat beside him, a threat to steal his sister away on her lips.
He leaned back, his body falling closer to hers as he looked up at her. There it was again...that look where his eyes smiled brighter than his lips
did and said something...strange. Strange for Koi anyway. If she hadn’t have known better, she might have thought Koi was...feeling her a little
more than he should have been. A little more than usual. It wasn’t the first time he’d looked at her like that today. He’d caught it during one
of she and Eri’s chess games, a couple times over dinner, and the few times she’d seen it in the kitchen he’d been touching her too. Nothing
overt, not in front of Eri but, he would lean on her while he pouted about something. His hand would find the small of her back when he was checking
in on them after being pushed out of the kitchen...If Devyn hadn’t known better she’d think he was...falling for her. But that couldn’t
be...Koi didn’t do feelings. They’d established that before...but that didn’t mean Devyn didn’t...and it didn’t stop the desire she was
feeling now to kiss him.
But Eri returned, saving her from herself as her attention was diverted. Gifts. Devyn watched, sweet smile returning to her face as Eri ripped away
the red and green paper around her gift. Her smile grew wide, a high pitched, ‘Oh wow’ leaving her lips before she stood and hugged Devyn, her
small arms coming to wrap around her neck as she hugged her back. “I take it you like it then-,” she laughed a little as her eyes looked around
Eri to her brother. There it was again...that look. This time, it was saying something else though and Devyn could tell, Koi was probably more
grateful than his sister...and not just for the gift. She winked at him over the mess of curls that separated them before Eri let her go, snatching
her book from Koi and squeezing between the two of them, her other gifts seemingly forgotten for now.
Devyn watched as she opened the book and like a true lover of literature, smelled the cover. Devyn couldn’t help the laugh that came from knowing
she was guilty of doing just that on more than one occasion herself. “I’m glad you like it, love-,” she said a hand resting on Eri’s back as
she basked in one of the few good things in life. A happy kid on Christmas. Koi - 5-1-2012 at 05:36 PM
Koi could see it in Eri's eyes sometimes. She wanted a sister. What little girl didn't? What little girl, with a parent shaped hole in her heart
didn't want a sister to lessen the blow of the hurt from the two people being absent who were supposed to love you the most? Koi did what he
could...when he could. He doted like a big brother should've and filled in the space that his mother and his Pops left. And he had to admit, he made a
pretty damn good Daddy substitute, especially when he knew that the real thing wouldn't have been good enough in the first place. But the space that
said "Reserved for Mom" in his little babe's heart? He was no where close to filling that in. How could he? He barely knew about being a serious male
figure in her life, so was it any surprise that he was no where near to touching the "female" side? Koi knew shit about females. When he was deep in
'em, he stayed the hell away from them. That was a good trade off as far as he was concerned. Nobody needed to ask if he knew what it
took to raise one. He was clueless about everything from nail polish to...whatever the hell else girls talked about. It was clear Eri needed someone
besides him. A sister. A friend. And Devyn was filling that space, quicker than he ever imagined that she would've. They just...clicked. Fell right
into each other like they'd known each other forever and that wasn't Eri at all. She was distant. Careful. She was...Koi. Just like him, actually. But
there was no surprise in that. They were two unwanteds from the same fucking litter....
Koi caught Devyn's wink, her smile glowing even as Eri seemed to be squeezing the air out of her. She...was winning. The entire day had been full of
her amazing "win". Making his dad look like the fucking idiot he was and playing his life all in the same breath. Making his kid sister feel like a
princess and being the best friend that she'd never had...even if it was just for the day. And making Koi smile more than he had in awhile. And he
couldn't stop smiling at her. He couldn't stop looking at her. That wasn't anything new, though as Devyn's appeal caught every eye, no matter where
she was. She was a stunner and no one had to look twice to figure that out. Double-takes were unnecessary when your eye caught a bad one like Dev. But
Koi's glances...more like "gazes"...they weren't about how bad she was or how her body looked or even...how good her clothes work on it. It was
about...shit...he didn't know. He didn't know why her laugh was like electricity in the air that night, making the little hairs on his arms rise,
making an amplified tingle in his ears erupt when she whispered something in her hushed conversations with Eri. And he didn't know why, every time she
met his stare, every time he leaned against her or touched her skin that night, his body went a couple of degrees warmer.
Eri's thin body settling between he and Devyn, shifting the cushions on the sofa, snapped him out of his thoughts, his eyes finally looking away from
Devyn. Dammit. He'd been staring at her, completely lost in his thoughts. Had she caught him staring? He hoped not. Because all that staring and those
gazes and that temperature rising and his stupid grins...they all said shit that he didn't want them to say. They spoke loud enough that he could hear
what they were trying to imply and that shit wasn't the case. No feelings. No emotions. That was how he worked. That was how Koi Kidd functioned.
There was a heart inside of his chest, but the ticking thing was as hard and cold as stone. It didn't beat for love and it wasn't starting anytime
soon, no matter how many smiles erupted on Eri's face that night...
Leaning towards his sister, he watched her flip the pages of her new book, giving her the chance to appreciate her present before he cleared his
throat, his sister putting down the book immediately. She sighed heavily as she looked up at him, her smile all knowing. "Okay, okay...the book's
down. Next present please." Laughing, Koi handed her the one from him and watched her unwrap it. It wasn't NEARLY as awesome as Devyn's gift, but it got him a pretty tight hug...and a kiss on the cheek. Eat your heart out, Dev.
The rest of the gifts that had Eri's name on them were quickly pushed aside ass soon as they were opened. A couple of expensive dresses and shoes and
an iPad 2 from their mom and then an ignorantly huge Barbie dream home from their equally as ignorant dad. Eri was the kind of little girl that never
HAD an interest in Barbies...unless they wanted to count that period she went through where she made dioramas of murder scenes with them. And for
once, Koi was pretty happy his sister wasn't a normal little nine year old because there was NOTHING in him that wanted to put that fucking house
together for her. His gifts went untouched. Like they always did...every Christmas. Koi didn't do "pity/guilt gifts" and he vowed silently to himself
that he'd hand all of them off to his boys later on in the week as he was sure they could find some use for them as Call of Duty and the new "Concord"
J's were in one or two of those boxes. He didn't need the gifts. His gift was sitting with a cup of hot cider, his sister underneath his arm, flipping
through her new encyclopedia of killers and his fingertips...inches away from grazing the skin on Devyn's uncovered shoulder...
"Koi?" His sister called his name after a couple of minutes of silence, bringing him out of the battle of nerves his fingers were playing with Devyn's
arm. One of the videos from Eri's gift playing while she read the book Devyn gifted her, silence breaking as she closed the book and spoke. "Are you
ever going to give Devyn the gift you got her?" Koi coughed, willing the cider that threatened to slip down the "wrong pipe" to keep from embarrassing
him any further.
"I got her gift out of your closet for you so you don't even have to go back upstairs!"Devyn - 9-1-2012 at 06:09 PM
What was happening between them right now? She saw Koi catch her wink, the smile on his face making her unsure if Eri was the reason her breathing was
stalling. This wasn’t right. The things she was feeling, the way he was watching her, the way they were bonding...It wasn’t how it was supposed to
be. She and Koi spent plenty of time together since their friendship started, especially with the class they shared now but, Devyn had never felt
the...pull she was feeling with him now. Not to say she wasn’t attracted to Koi before today. She’d made it all to obvious she was into
him at his party and even though that ended horribly, feelings like that didn’t simply disappear but...that was just it. At his party Devyn had
lusted for him. Lust. Not really an emotion, just a need to be touched. Specifically by him but, really by anyone. She and Koi hadn’t felt for one
another that night but...this was getting to be more and more different by the minute.
She looked back to Koi as Eri withdrew from their hug and he was still looking at her, his eyes still dancing as he kind of...stared. She was about to
wave, tease him a bit and break the awkward tension that was building but, Eri slid between them once again and he snapped out of it himself. Things
were beginning to be too much. She’d thought about it before coming here. She knew if the day went well she and Koi would be closer than they were
when she arrived but, she hadn’t thought it’d be the kind of closeness his eyes were suggesting. It was her turn to stare, lost in a sea of
‘what if’s as scenarios of the night played in her mind.
If she were to bring it up, when Eri was gone of course, would he admit he was feeling her a little? And not the bitch ass admission he’d made when
they were at the amusement park, but something real. Something solid...or would he play her like she was imagining all the things she was seeing. But
she knew she wasn’t tripping...And what if he did admit it. What then? Would that mean they were just talking? More? Ugh! She didn’t know! She
didn’t know what was happening tonight but, she knew something was different and addressing it could change everything. It could--Oh.
Koi cleared his throat and Eri sighed closing Devyn’s gift. Ha. Again someone wasn’t getting the attention he wanted. She smirked a little at him
as Eri asked for her next gift, one she assumed was Koi’s. And her assumption had been right as it was rewarded with a hug...and a kiss.
Guess he’d one upped her. Devyn watched Eri open the rest of the gifts that awaited her under the tree. It was a series of really cute clothes and
shoes that came in colors a lot brighter than she would have guessed Eri was used to...but Devyn didn’t know. Maybe Eri wasn’t as dark as she came
off...Better Devyn be wrong than assuming her mother was completely wrong about her. Her dad however she was sure got things wrong. She couldn’t
imagine Eri playing with anyone’s dolls...
Once she was done, she went back to her books, flipping through the pages as Koi sipped some cider and Devyn played with the remote to the TV, finally
switching the input back to cable and flipping through the channels to find something Christmas-y. They were all snapped out of their own worlds when
Eri spoke. Koi got her something? Shit. Koi got her something...She wondered what it was, her mind shifting to a bunch of different things as
her eyes found his and a small smile formed. He didn’t have to do that. He had really done enough by inviting her here...No. No. This was not a good
thing. Because as much as she was dying to know what he’d gotten her, they COULD NOT exchange gifts. Not in front of Eri at least. Because what she
got him was definitely not kid friendly.
“Oh, Eri honey, Koi and I can wait-,” she said, quickly interjecting before Koi could answer her. “Today’s about you, love. Is there anything
else you want to do?” Anything that might get them off the subject of a gift exchange? Koi - 16-1-2012 at 02:27 PM
That little... Koi's eyes narrowed as he cleared his throat loudly, the cup of cider in his hand going to the side table next to the couch
where his traitorous sister was sitting next to him, her angelic eyes blinking at him like she hadn't just told Devyn that he had a present for her
and he'd had it long enough to hide the shit in his closet, wrapped up, a fucking bow and everything...just waiting for the moment when Koi could stop
with the pussy shit and could finally man up enough give it to her ...or at least work up enough courage to...what the fuck? What the fuck
was he thinking about? "Enough courage"? To do what? Give a gift to Devyn? This was Devyn. His "chick homie" Dev. The girl he smoked out with
and chilled with on the regular. The girl who had a permanent seat in the passenger side of his Impala. Even in the weeks that they'd been hanging
hard, Koi knew her well enough to know that she'd dig his gift. No worries...right? Wrong. There shouldn't have been worries or nervous feelings.
But...there kind of...were. Scouring that fucking mall, walking in stores that he knew she wouldn't even have anything to do with, with clothes that
weren't even her style...mostly because he was lost without a fucking clue. And it mattered. Too much. Too much for him to just be "confused" about
what to get for a female. Too much thought for someone who was just getting something for a friend.
"Eri-" His voice wore an obvious warning even though he smiled at his sister, placing his arm back around her shoulders as he leaned back onto the
sofa again. But before he could make up some way to secretly tell her to keep her prying little mouth closed and turn her down, Devyn did the honors,
telling her that it wasn't too important for them to open gifts, that they day was about Eri and they were just fine with doing what she
wanted...which was true. The day had been perfect. Dinner was...bomb. Ipo had put her damn foot in it when she'd prepared it the night before. The
baking that his girls did, the quiet of the evening...the smile on Eri's face. All of it had made up a good night, no lie. But...sometime between that
second and the moment when he and Eri said "goodbye" to Devyn when the evening was over, Koi liked the idea of giving her her gift. Of finally placing
the shit in her hands so that finally, all of the guessing and the uncertainty about what he'd gotten for her would be gone. And he could pretend like
the tightness in his throat and the fucking shift of his stomach had just been about the gift...and not about thoughts that lurked in his mind.
"But Devyn..." Eri's soft voice whined, her tiny mouth turning down at the corners. That face was definitely a "no" to Devyn's suggestion. But just in
case she didn't get it, Eri stood up and retrieved the last, unopened gift that Devyn...and the small box, wrapped with shiny, metalized pink wrapping
paper, silver ribbon hugging the sides of the small box, coming to a bow at the top. His gift for Devyn. How the hell had Eri found that gift anyway?
It didn't matter anymore as it had found Devyn's hand and her gift found his. Eri stepped back, her hands joining behind her back as she stared at
them with those almond-shaped eyes.
"I've got to...take my presents upstairs. You guys can start without me." She whispered, grabbing a couple of things before she walked quickly from
the room, leaving he and Devyn sitting on the sofa. The silence of the room kind of...fell on them again when Eri left. Biting his lip, he looked at
Devyn, meeting her eyes and chuckled a little.
"Damn. It's the first time we've been alone all evening, right?" Shuffling the small box that he held in his hands, he turned it over, busying his
hands as he stared down at it. "Ladies first..." Devyn - 16-1-2012 at 06:10 PM
But Devyn...Devyn frowned as Eri did, her sweet face turning with disappointment as Devyn told her she and Koi could wait to open gifts. Aww,
poor kid. She was disappointed. She hadn’t meant to disappoint her but, she couldn’t let Koi open his gift in front of her. It wasn’t...kid
proof. She didn’t know if Eri knew her brother smoked or what and shattering her Mr. Perfect would probably ruin Christmas. And things were going
too well for her to let that happen...But it seemed Eri wasn’t taking no for an answer. She stood finding what she assumed was Koi’s gift for her.
Ohh...Devyn smiled at the small box as Eri placed it in her hands. It was so cute. And pink. And really cute. Damn him! Why was he doing this to her?!
With the way this day had gone the gift was only going to further confuse things...whatever it was. Why couldn’t he be like most guys and just got
her nothing?
Because he wasn’t most guys. He was Koi. Her first friend in Kapuhai Reef (despite their rocky start), her ace that she did pretty much everything
with, the guy she’d spent hours trying to find the perfect gift for...damn it! What was happening between them today? It was just a gift...she
didn’t even know what was in it...she wondered what it was...But her wondering was cut short as Eri’s voice cut through her thoughts. She was
going to put some of her things upstairs. That would mean she and Koi would be...alone...
She thought about offering to help her but, she knew that would make it obvious that she was trying to avoid having a moment with the guy that was
supposed to be just a friend. It would make things more awkward instead of less and she certainly didn’t want that. Instead, she just smiled as Eri
collected her things and quickly walked off, her fear of kissing Koi and complicating everything becoming a very real possibility now that there was
no one there stopping her.
Her eyes fell on his as he spoke, stating the obvious. She bit her lip, pulling it in as she looked away, nodding softly at his comment. What the hell
was wrong with her. This for Koi for fuck’s sake! She had to get her shit together. He spoke again, signaling she could open hers first. She
couldn’t pretend she wasn’t dying to know what he’d gotten her, so she didn’t argue, her fingers pulling at the small silver bow on top so
that she could open it. She giggled a little when she did, removing the top of her box to reveal a small pink lighter with her name engraved on the
side of it.
Koi was always making fun of her and her use of disposable Bic lighters. He didn’t care for them but Dev figured as long as they lit the blunt she
was cool. But this was...sweet. She smiled pulling it out of the box as she ran her thumb over her name, “It’s nice, kid. Thanks-,” she paused
awkwardly, her mind wandering to kissing him under the guise of a thank you but, she wouldn’t. Instead she pointed to the box in his hand.
“Your turn.”Koi - 18-1-2012 at 02:52 PM
If there was one thing that Koi never did, it was "awkward". The word wasn't in his vocabulary. He didn't know it, he wasn't friendly with it, he
didn't fuck...with awkward. Because awkward never fucked with him. It never hit him the way that it did most people, mostly because he didn't give
enough shits to add up to a care. And because...he didn't really think about what people thought. He was him. He was Koi, no questions or comments
about it. And anyone who had a problem with that knew what they could do with their opinionated tongue. But sitting there with Devyn, listening to his
sister's footsteps as she walked up the stairs and to her room. His voice, repeating the obvious, couldn't even shake up the feeling that fell over
him as she sat beside him. The feeling that the air couldn't get any more thicker than it was at that moment. The feeling that the sound in the room
couldn't get anymore nonexistent than it was...right then. His chest couldn't get anymore tighter and...her their eyes couldn't get anymore shiftier.
And there it was. Motherfucking awkwardness. Sneaking in like a fucking thief in the night. He could barely watch her as she untied the silver bow and
ripped the pink paper that covered the burgundy S.T. Dupont box, smiling at her giggle and looking away when he finally did catch her eye. Only when
she opened the box did he notice that he'd been holding his breath. The fuck was wrong with him?
It's nice, kid... Nodding at her comment, he watched her finger trace the front of the lighter, her name engraved there. Where was the smart
ass comeback? Where was the over-sexed response about her "paying him back" for that expensive ass lighter that he was so sure that she had to have?
And that shit was expensive. Like "sneak and use his Pop's black card" expensive. But it was worth the little smile on her face and the "thanks" that
left her lips...awkward pause and all. And it was worth not seeing her carry around those fucking BIC shits. Hey, if she was going to smoke, at least
she could've committed to it and had a lighter worth a damn. And that was the initial reason behind him buying that lighter. Initially... Not for this
fucking swell that was filling his chest, making his heart feel ten times bigger like the goddamn Grinch or some shit. It wasn't about that...it
hadn't started like that and he'd stay cool as fuck so it wouldn't end like that. She was his homie, that was all. And it was nice to see her smile.
That was all.
"No problem..." He said, his gaze on her falling a bit too long. Smirking he looked away again and pulled at the paper on his gift, her voice already
telling him that it was turn to open a gift. What it was, he really didn't know, but what he did know was that all of that tearing was just a
distraction. Something to take him away from looking her in the face, watching her glossed lips curl into an amused smile as she watched him. He
didn't to watch her lean closer into him, smell whatever sweet mix of herb and perfume that was coming off of her skin. Damn she smelled ridiculously
good. Biting at his lip, he narrowed his eyes, trying his damnedest to take his mind off of her and focus on the box in his lap. Finally, he got into
the box and grinned. She didn't...
"And this is why you didn't want me unwrapping this in front of Eri..." He said, pulling out the grinder that was hidden underneath the wrapping
tissue paper in the box. He chuckled, nodding as held it up, turning it between his fingers so that he could get a better look at it. It was a fly
gift, though! And it was kind of something he needed as Dr. Johnson had confiscated his last one. Derrick and his brilliant ass was stupid enough to
try to return it to Koi after keeping it for a MONTH...at school. What the fuck. It was common knowledge that Dr. Johnson could sniff out evil doings
faster than fucking Underdog.
"Epic gift, though. Especially since your aunt's boyfriend took my last one..." Looking up at her, he smiled and nudged her knee, his hand lingering
on her warm skin for longer than he intended it to. "Merry Christmas..." He said, his voice falling quiet as his hand left her knee and went to her
waist, pulling her towards him for the hug that slipped past his constraint.Devyn - 18-1-2012 at 06:43 PM
She loved the lighter. Carter had bought her a PS3. He said it was so she could improve her CoD game but they both knew she needed no help there. Her
aunt had given her the Mercedes she’d been driving since she got here. It was hers full out now and she didn’t have to ask to use it...All of that was great but
somehow, they still didn’t compare to the tiny pink lighter she was turning over in her hand. She had been trying to deny it all day but she knew
exactly why she was so in love with this gift. It was from him. And she liked him...a lot more than she was supposed to. This gift only made denying
the truth harder; a truth she had known from the moment they shared that blunt in the plaza. Koi somehow always knew what she needed, what she liked.
He’d known her before they got to know one another and she’d been attracted to that from jump. Now...now she wasn’t sure what to do as she knew
she was permanently friend zoned. She was “the chick homie”...nothing more.
She wouldn’t dwell on it now. Koi still had to open his gift and she couldn’t wait to see if he liked it. She hadn’t really known what to get
him, she’d actually gone back and forth between stores looking at watches and wallets and cologne...none of it fit him. None of it was... Koi
enough. She wanted something he would actually use, something he would like. And as he pulled at the paper that covered his gift, her breath
stopped, bated for his reaction to what she hoped was something he liked. And it was. Her smile grew as his did, a grin coming to his face as he
spoke.
She bit her lip quickly as he pulled the grinder out of the box for inspection. She knew he’d gotten his confiscated thanks to his chatty and
obviously careless friend Derrick and she also knew he wasn’t the type to replace shit he’d fucked up. So Dev got him what he needed. And he liked
it. ‘Epic’ he’d called it. Good. She was glad he liked it and she was about to tell him just that before his hand came to her knee. At first it
was an innocent nudge, a sweet touch between friend to show that he liked the gift, he was amused...but his hand stayed, lingering against her skin
and causing her temperature to rise a few more degrees than her nervousness had previously caused.
“Merry-...” her voice started softly. Apparently too soft, but it didn’t matter as Koi pulled her in for a hug; her words stopped completely
then, lost in the closeness they were sharing...and how good he smelled...Shit. She allowed her eyes to close, feeling the moment rather than
taking it in as she finally replied to her well wish, “Merry Christmas, Koi.”
Damn right it was a ‘Merry Christmas’. The best she’d had to date... Koi - 21-1-2012 at 11:44 AM
Shit was surreal, really. And Koi didn't use words like "surreal" without a serious amount of herb in his system. But it was. Being that close to
Devyn and not wanting to pull away from her? Not even caring that a few seconds had gone by and they were still embracing, that hug that was headed
for awkward turning into something else as soon as they touched? Yeah, that was wild. Wild and completely unexpected as nothing was okay about
this. "This" being Devyn in his arms, hers wrapped around his shoulders, her lips close enough to his neck that he could feel the quickening
of her breath. Chest pressed against his so tight that he could feel all her curves and...yeah, this was wild...and not fucking okay. Not that Koi
hadn't had...thoughts...about Devyn like the ones he was having at that very moment. On the first night they'd really hung out, she'd ended up in his
lap with his mouth attached to her skin like some fucking horny ass leech. Of course she'd been on his mind after that, his thoughts going right into
her damn drawers when the moment was less than convenient. But it never went past just...thoughts. That just wasn't where they were. There was no
"fuck" in front of what they were and it seemed like both of them were past happy about that...or at least just dealin' with it. And it was the safest
bet. When you kept it at "homie level", nobody caught feelings, nobody wanted more...and nobody got their damn feelings hurt.
His hands moved from around her waist, turning from a grasp and into a soft push, their bodies separating, but their faces still close. Smiling
softly, his hand brushed against the skin of her cheek, a hint of his toothy smile showing through his lips. Staring at her for a second, it almost
seemed like something that Koi should've seen ages ago hit him like a fucking boulder. She was dumb pretty...like really...gorgeous. Usually,
it was about "that ass" or her tiny ass waist, but his eyes just, kind of...pulled to her face...and how every single feature on it made her as
beautiful as she looked at that moment. Why she wasted her time hanging around her homie instead of picking up on some of the play that he knew mad
dudes were throwing at her, confused him. She spent almost every day, rollin' around in his Impala, doing the stupidest shit. Smoking the day away,
talking about shit that didn't matter...sometimes she even wasted hours, just tutoring his dumb ass to get grades that he was sure his father had
already paid someone to give him. She wasted seconds, minutes...time with him when she should've been underneath somebody's arm, letting them spoil
the shit out of her. Even if she was his "chick homie" and he was her "boy", she deserved some play or something with someone, right? Something
besides him? She was too fine for that...
"That shit lasted longer than I meant it to..." He muttered, pulling completely away from her, grin still fastened to his lips. "Guess I'm just
really, really thankful. That really was a good gift, Dev." Yeah, that's what they'd go back to. Something really safe. Something that didn't involve
him, blurting out awkwardly how that hug made him almost a little confused. Confused because he knew what he should've done at the end of the evening.
He would tell her thanks, give her another platonic hug and watch her walk out the door...like her homie would do. But that wasn't what he wanted to
do. Because what he wanted to do was...well...he wanted to tell her not to leave. He wanted a day that was supposed to be simple and uncomplicated to
go on forever and he didn't want her to go. And he almost, physically shook his head at that thought because there was no way...NO WAY that that shit
would happen. No way he'd pussy out like that especially when he knew what something like that would lead to. Feelings, emotions,
relationship. And then at the end of all that...heartbreak. He'd break her damn heart. Mostly because that was what he was good at. Koi caught
the shit end of genetic hand me downs, when it came down to it. Sure, he got his Pops' good looks, court-swag that was endless and a tongue that could
talk the devil out of livin' in hell. But he would've traded that all...every single piece of it...for Eri's heart.
"I thought I was gonna have to drop a couple of dollars and buy my own because of Derrick's dumb...-what the hell?" Looking slightly over Devyn's
head, his eyes fastened to her as he spoke, he caught a glimpse of something that wasn't hanging there before...hovering over them like a fucking
ghost! Mistletoe...and Eri's hand connected to the top of the sprig. Devyn - 23-1-2012 at 12:02 PM
She was completely out of it as she let Koi hold her there, his body pressed against hers in a way it wasn’t supposed to be…in a way she wasn’t
happy with because she knew that it wouldn’t lead to what she wanted. Or at least what she wanted for the night…She knew he didn’t do feelings
but she also knew he was willing to smash and at that very moment she was willing to let him. But something else that was more important than either
of those things was that she knew how sex would complicate what they already had. Koi was supposed to be her friend. The homie. Nothing more than just
the nigga she kicked it with occasionally...well more than occasionally, if she was going to be honest with herself. She wasn't going to deny enjoying
his company and she sure as hell couldn't play like she wasn't attracted to him but, that wasn't what they were...but they certainly weren't what they
were before she came over anymore. With the way the two of them were now, her body pressed to his as his hands held her waist...neither of them could
claim they were just friends...so what did that make them? What were people who fell between the title of friend and someone who was catching more
feelings than they should've?
Her thoughts on the matter stopped as he softly pushed her away, their embrace ending after what seemed like mere milliseconds. She wasn't done with
him but, he obviously wasn't done with her either. His face lingering close to hers as his hand brushed the skin of her cheek. She leaned into it
instinctively, knowing she shouldn't have been, knowing she was only encouraging him to confuse the shit out of her. He'd made it plain that night at
sulfide that he was not looking for a relationship. She got that. They were messy and painful and...She got it. So they were friends and that was
fine but, any romantic comedy with former "That 70's show" stars would tell you that friends got to be a lot harder when "benefits" got involved. And
that's what was happening here. Benefits were trying to get between the two of them and as much as she wanted to avoid it, she didn't. She couldn't.
That shit lasted longer than I meant it to... It lasted longer than she meant it to too, her cheeks growing a little warmer as she just kind
of studied his face; her eyes tracing his features, lingering on the smile that was, as usual, contagious but, somehow even more electrifying tonight.
She pulled her bottom lip in, partly in an attempt to quell a smile and partly to keep from pulling his lip into her mouth. She nodded a
little as he finished, telling her now much he liked the gift. "Well good, kid. I'm glad you like it." She stopped. Deciding to limit herself before
she said something she didn't want him to know. Like what? She wasn't sure...She never really found herself having to sensor her speech around Koi;
this was the first time she'd been even remotely uncomfortable around him and she didn't know how to handle it. Luckily, he kept talking, the
hopefully short conversation beginning as she waited for Eri to return. Not that she didn't want to talk to Koi, it was just...She didn't know what to
say to him! She didn't know how to feel about anything right now. She was feeling him, she was and she would admit it to herself, but keeping him
happy and keeping his friendship meant keeping her mouth closed about her feelings...so she wanted Eri. Eri would be the buffer Devyn needed until she
could get her head back on straight and stop being a little bitch about her relationship with her homie.
And she didn't have to wait long, Koi's speech stopping mid-sentence as he looked above her causing her in turn to look up to...misletoe. She
smiled, turning around to look at Eri with eyes as innocent as she probably was...well usually was when she wasn't making things harder for her big
brother with girls. Devyn giggled a little before she spoke, her mind trying to think of yet another way to let Eri down easy, this time about this
kiss that Koi was not getting, "Love, Koi and I aren't...-," Shit. Aren't what? Dating? Fucking? Together? They were none of the above but, how could
she explain it to Eri? Shit. She looked back at Koi, not sure at all how to finish up...
Koi could jump in anytime here... Koi - 26-1-2012 at 04:49 PM
Mistletoe? Really? Now that shit was a stretch, but not necessarily a huge stretch for his little babe. Eri could be completely determined for her
age, especially when there was something that she wanted and from the moment that she finally tortured Koi into submission (by naming every country in
the world, in alphabetical order no less), for a name, Koi knew she wanted Devyn. Eri wanted to know everything about her. What she wore.
What she talked about with him. Where she was from. What she was like. Eri wanted to know it all...everything about "the girl that had finally caught
her brother's heart"...direct quote. And even though Koi laughed his amusement when she'd said those words to him, he couldn't help but feel that even
if Devyn hadn't stolen his heart...she'd definitely stolen something because he couldn't get her off of his mind. And Eri saw that and ran with it as
far as her little legs would carry her, which just happened to be right to he and Devyn, sitting on that couch...a sprig of mistletoe in her meddling
hands. Outside of how much more awkward (there was that word again) it had made the moment between he and Devyn, it was actually
pretty...cute...watching his sister try and play matchmaker with her older brother and whom she clearly wanted, by any means necessary, to be her
older sister. A kiss? She wanted them to kiss? What did she think this was? The Little Mermaid or some shit? Koi had never known his sister
to be into that romantic shit, but there she stood, mistletoe in hand, a goofy little smile on her face...and unmistakable determination in her
eyes.
Koi's amused grin shook with the effort he was trying to put into a look of warning. He could barely do it though, his expression threatening to shift
at the sound of Devyn's giggle. Good, she was laughing. That was...promising. Laughing in lieu of his babe's awkward (although insanely cute) way of
saying that she liked Devyn enough to want Koi to like her too. Like her more, actually. Enough to sit underneath a clump of leaves and berries and
use that as an excuse to kiss her...again. Again. Bud, liquor and a fucking ridiculous hang over couldn't blank that memory out of his mind.
And Koi knew what it was like to not remember as he didn't know much of what happened after he'd let her leave his party that night. None of it was
memorable enough, actually. But the way Devyn felt, pressed against him, her thick lips pulling at his, her mouth tugging at the hesitation in him to
make him forget everything besides what lie between her thighs. He remembered the kiss and...to be honest, he wanted it again. He wanted to get lost
in Devyn again, with only the dull thud of music that didn't make sense and a party that blended into the haze of weed smoke as bread crumbs to remind
him of his way out...before shit got too serious. Too real. But that was the problem, right? Shit was going to get very real if he kissed her again.
He barely escaped the first time, the argument that they'd had over his stupid decision to skip out on getting familiar with her and instead, fuck
some broad whose face he still didn't remember nearly keeping them from being where they were right now. The fuck would he ruin this? The fuck would
he chance it again?
With a glance at Devyn, her words stopping as she failed to finish the sentence that had crossed both of their minds that night, he narrowed his eyes
and opened his mouth to speak, a dry laugh, the only thing that emerged. "Babe..." he began, Eri's stubborn, vigorous head shake returning an answer
to the statement that Koi hadn't even spoken. No way, Koi. You better kiss her. Yep, he heard that loud and clear in that round, cute and
very determined face. That very innocent face that didn't know what she was truly asking. Koi's eyebrows raised at her as that determination
turned into a plea. Was she SERIOUS? With a heavy sigh, Koi reached for Devyn's hands, pulling her closer to him as he caught her eye and smiled at
her, his lips softly meeting her cheek before he drew back and moved away from her.
"Oh, that was...hot..." He said, puckering his lips as he nodded sarcastically, a laugh breaking past his stupid expression and his eyes avoiding the
unamused one on Eri's face.Devyn - 29-1-2012 at 12:12 AM
She was...SO CUTE. Devyn couldn’t be mad at Eri for what she was trying to make her brother do because it was entirely too adorable. She liked
Devyn, and she was trying to tell her brother that she approved. It was cute but, it wasn't the level Devyn and Koi were on yet. In fact, she wasn't
sure they would ever be on that level. If anyone knew Koi, it was Eri so she had to know that her brother wasn't into...what she was trying to push
the two of them into. Or maybe she just didn't know. She was struggling with the idea of being with Koi in a way that he said he wasn't interested in
but, the way he was acting before his sister came back was supplying mixed signals that were confusing the fuck out of her. What they were
was...complicated. They wanted one another...sexually anyway but, relationship wise? She wasn’t sure what he wanted ...but she knew a kiss wasn't
going to make anything clearer...it was only going to confuse things further. So she looked to Koi to give an answer to his sister. One that would
end in them popping in another movie until Eri fell asleep and Devyn could leave. Kissless.
Of course Koi could help but find her adorable either though, the smile on his face fighting with a sternness he was trying to convey. It wasn’t
working. But they couldn’t do this. Really, they couldn’t. She didn’t like to go there but, Devyn remembered their first kiss. In front of his
peoples, as he blew weed smoke into her mouth and shared the high...well at least until she gave him another. And then they danced, and kissed, and
touched...She remembered. Vividly, she remembered. Which was why the two of them couldn’t go there again. It was a place they were before
they were friends...before all of the physical could complicate what they were building on now. She didn’t want this with Koi...but she wanted this
with Koi...No, she didn’t...but she kind of did. Ugh! She wasn’t sure. She didn’t know what she wanted but, as she watched Koi and Eri her
thoughts turned.
Eri was just as cute with her brother as she was alone. The polite smile on Devyn’s face grew as she watched their silent conversation. He looked at
Eri sympathetically, his eyes trying to explain what he and Devyn’s words could not. But Eri wasn’t taking no for an answer, her curls shaking
from side to side as she voiced her distaste for his decision not to kiss Devyn. He didn’t have a choice, it seemed. And as her features faded from
determination to puppy-dog pleading, she could see Koi break. Anything for his little babe, huh? He sighed, reaching for Devyn’s hand as their eyes
met and he leaned in. His lips touched her cheek as a short giggle left her, her eyes watching Eri and hoping to see satisfaction there. She did not.
And as Koi pulled away, she knew he was avoiding seeing the disappointment Devyn did.
“Don’t patronize me Koi-,” she said quickly, her expression going stern again, “You have to do it right.” Devyn looked away from Eri then,
her eyes finding the floor extremely interesting all of a sudden. She couldn’t look at Eri and she certainly couldn’t look at Koi! Why was this so
awkward for her? For them? A simple kiss wasn’t that big of a deal was it? It wasn’t like Eri was asking them to procreate on the spot right? Just
a small kiss... It seemed like Eri wasn’t giving up and if Devyn couldn’t fight this Christmas kiss, guess she would just have to embrace it...
Looking back up, it was her turn to lean into Koi her lips pecking his quickly before he could protest. There. It was done...so why was she still so
close to him? Her lips still hovering above his before they touched again...and a third time...and a fourth before she stopped fighting what she
wanted. Koi - 30-1-2012 at 05:09 PM
Patronizing? Come on... Eri knew better. That was a pretty strong word for what Koi was doing. Appeasing? That was a better one. He was
appeasing his little babe...and at the same time, keeping things with Devyn...simple. Eri was...young, innocent. Hope still shone from behind those
almond shaped, brown eyes when she looked at life. Behind all that black, that "weird" obsession with the macabre, and those deep, emotionless stares,
she was still a little girl. A little girl that believed in uncomplicated, true love...and all the bull shit of it. Even after everything she'd seen,
their mother and father's love in shambles. And she still believed in the fucked up notion that was "happily ever after"? Koi wouldn't take that from
her. He couldn't. Her heart was a million shades lighter than his and he'd let her have that, let her see everything in the shade of pink she was
seeing it in now. But for him? Nothing could help him from seeing the nightmare that love could really inflict on someone stupid enough to let it. He
wouldn't let himself fall for that shit...not tonight. And he definitely wouldn't make Devyn fall prey to it, either. Not for a kiss. Not for a
stupid, mistletoe kiss that would start a series of events that neither of them would stop.
"Babe." Koi looked up at her, grabbing at her small wrist of the hand that held the mistletoe from where it hovered above their heads. Biting his lip,
he looked up at her, her little face, coated with the stubborn that her command to "do it right" relayed better than her words did. She even had her
hands on her barely existent hips, just the way their Moms did when she "meant business". The smile on Koi's face at that thought made him look back
at Devyn to keep from laughing. And, of course, she was avoiding Eri's eyes, too...and his. Probably couldn't look at him without...without wondering
what the hell she'd gotten herself into when she accepted an invitation to spend an evening with Koi and family...or at least Koi +1. Perfect evening
to a perfect day, right? Eri pulling her wrist from his grasp attracted his attention from his quiet thoughts, a joking pout rose to his face...just
to tease his sister a little bit more before he turned on the authoritative voice and made her cut all that lovey dovey shit out for the remainder of
the evening. Yeah, she'd be mad at him, but he could take it off of her. Besides, a bit more Unsolved Mysteries and another game of chess and
she'd be right as fuckin' rain. Her pout didn't even shake him and it shouldn't have shaken Devyn either, but he was pretty sure that she wasn't as
immune to the "cute pout" as Koi was. The last thing he wanted to do was have her feeling like she had to do something for his sister, just to keep
her happy.
Turning towards Devyn again, Koi caught her in his line of view...just in time to see her lean forward, her lips pressing against his so quickly that
he didn't even have time to close his eyes. Surprise took him over for a second, his lips curving into a small grin. And then...the grin...melted off
of his face. Not because he was...pissed about shit. But because...Devyn hadn't leaned back. Her mouth still hovered over his, hesitating with what
she'd just done. Wondering if it was okay...to do it again. Without waiting for the signal that it was, she lowered her lips to his again...and
again...and fucking yes. His brain stopped counting her kisses and his body stopped resisting the urge to return them. His hand came to rest
on her thigh and didn't hesitate to trail from her skin to the small of her waist, pulling her towards him, his lips taking her in like...he
missed them. Like they were a memory that he'd been pushing back behind the other recollections in his mind and her lips? They'd just thrust that
shit to the front. Nothing mattered but her kiss. Nothing mattered but the way her lips teased at his, pulled at his...covered his. Sliding some very
visible tongue into their kiss, he couldn't help but break the kiss with an unexpected laugh at the equally unexpected, but completely obvious "EW"
from Eri's mouth. Pulling away, he rubbed at his bottom lip, too sure that Devyn's gloss was still there from their kiss. A stupid attempt at playing
off a kiss like the one they'd just had. And even stupidier? Making the mistake that he probably shouldn't have as he met Devyn's gaze...and could
barely keep himself from giving her the "fuck" eye in front of his sister...Devyn - 4-2-2012 at 09:51 PM
She hadn’t meant for this to happen. Not the way it was anyway. She just wanted to make the kid happy. A small kiss for her big brother was all she
was asking for and with the way Koi had been looking at her all night you would think that would be the natural progression of things. You would think
a kiss wouldn’t be completely out of the question...but it was. She and Koi were friends. That was the way he wanted things and she wasn’t going
to play herself pushing him for more. They were smoke buddies, study buddies, friends. Nothing more than that. There were no “benefits”
with their friendship and if he wasn’t trying to get into anything it needed to stay that way. She knew all of this, she knew they couldn’t do
what Eri was asking of them...So why had she kissed him? Why had she let herself have a piece of what she knew she’d want more of when she was
finished.
And she called it; her lips lingering above his after their quick kiss. It was fast. The kind of kiss a 4 year old would give a boy she liked. Short
and sweet. She felt her face go hot as she...stayed. She wasn’t thinking about anything, she wasn’t watching him, she was just...stuck. Stuck
between knowing what she should do and knowing what she wanted to do. She caved to what she wanted. Her lips finding his again and again
before they finally stayed, locked to his as if...as if this was natural. It felt right, kissing Koi the way she was. Better than right, as
his hand met the skin of her thigh, trailing up to her waist as he pulled her closer to him. Shit. She heard herself moan a little as his
tongue finally slipped into her mouth, sucking at it quickly before he pulled away from her. Oh FUCK! Eri...
Her eyes opened as a very justified “ew” fell from Eri’s lips. Oh, Devyn felt completely horrible! She shouldn’t have seen that. Koi’s
little cheek kiss might not have been what she wanted but, Devyn was sure she wasn’t ready for the kiss she and Koi had just shared. Her eyes looked
everywhere except at the two people she’d spent the day with. Again, things were awkward among the three of them. And again it was her fault. She
shouldn’t have kissed him...Now all she wanted to do was kiss him again. With that thought her eyes looked to Koi’s, meeting them briefly as he
gave her a look much, much different from the one he’d been giving her all day. He wanted a lot more than a kiss...And Eri was unknowingly
giving him the chance, quickly excusing herself; again under the guise of taking her things upstairs but, Devyn knew it was to avoid the awkward Devyn
and her stupid kiss had created. Ugh.
She smiled weakly as Eri left, not sure what to say outside of an apology that wouldn’t come. Great. Just great. So this would be the first and last
time she was invited over. She really had enjoyed the day, almost as much as that kiss...Once his baby sister was gone, her eyes found Koi once again,
words finally falling from her lips.
“Sorry.”Koi - 5-2-2012 at 04:44 PM
Ew. For real? Ew? Eri couldn't even let her mouth say "ew" when she'd pretty much asked for had just gone down in front of her eyes, putting
that mistletoe over Koi and Devyn's head and forcing a kiss on the both of them. Okay, maybe more than just a simple kiss. It'd started that way,
though. A simple peck...and then the look Devyn had given him, her lips lingering over his they way they had. Something that should've been easy,
quick, meaningless...turned into a whole lot of something. Exactly what he and Devyn had been avoiding the entire night, even when it was obvious that
something "not-so-homie" was building that night. With all the looks they were exchanging, their eyes saying words that their mouths would never say
to each other, in fear that anything would change what they had going. Actually, what Koi wanted them to have going. Friendship. Camaraderie.
None of that "let's make everything complicated" bullshit...like what had just gone down. Because shit was getting complicated, he could tell it in
the way she pulled away from him when Eri's voice broke between the moment their shared. He could tell it in the way she wouldn't even look at
them...and he could tell when their eyes finally connected and...
"I'm going to take the rest of my stuff upstairs and...find a way to scrub my eyeballs. Excuse me..." Jumping up and grabbing the closest thing to
her, Eri nearly ran from the room, nearly tripping over her feet to make a mad dash for her bedroom. Koi couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her
leave. Maybe she'd think twice about meddling in shit that had nothing to do with her in the first place. Granted it was cute as hell that his kid
sister had personally picked out what she believed would be his new girlfriends, only one problem. Koi didn't do girlfriends. It wasn't his little
babe's fault. She had no idea how much of an emotional fuck up her big bro was and as far as he was concerned, she would never know. The things that
happened in that house didn't need to effect her too.
Raising his eyebrows in a quiet response to what had just happened, Koi looked to Devyn, only to find her head almost lowered, her eyes barely looking
at him...and an apology. For what? Kissing him? Nearly giving his sister ANOTHER memory to repress? Eh, he didn't blame her for any of that. She was
only doing what her eyes had been wanting to do the entire day...what his had been wanting, too. The kiss, no matter how complicated it threatened to
make everything between them, was something that he missed. He missed touching her like that, missed feeling her skin underneath his hands. He didn't
know how much he missed it until she gave him the chance to feel her again. And even though everything in him was telling him he didn't need that
memory, that it was dangerous to even WANT a reminder of the night of his party, he couldn't deny it. He liked walks down memory lane...very much.
"I'm gonna pretend that I didn't just hear you apologize, Dev." He chuckled again, standing up as he pulled her up with him. "Eri'll be alright. But
if it makes you feel better, I'll go check on her..." Eri would be okay. She definitely bit off more than she could chew and that was lowkey her own
fault. She needed to keep her cute nose out of business that didn't carry her name. He could tell Devyn was concerned and crazy embarrassed...all for
nothing. She was way too stressed for his liking, but he knew something that could straighten her out. Okay, maybe he told Eri that there would be no
"drug activity" in the house that night, but considering what'd just gone down? Yeah, he was definitely going to be bending the rules...
"And you...can hit the stash in my car and get one started. We BOTH need a smoke after that shit..." Devyn - 10-2-2012 at 10:29 PM
Her ‘ew’ was completely justified! With what Devyn and Koi had just done in front of her? She was surprised she hadn’t scratched her little eyes
out yet. Poor kid. She’d messed up, she knew it but, something was keeping her from feeling completely horrible about it. It wasn’t exactly what
Eri had asked for but, she had been the one to push them to kiss...Yes, good. Now she was blaming her issues on a nine year old. It just kept getting
better. Her mistake wasn’t Eri’s fault at all and she couldn’t pretend that her lapse in judgement was anything less than her responding to what
had been calling her all night. Hell, really what had been calling her since their time together at his party. Yeah, they hadn’t been anything more
than friends since his apology but, that didn’t keep her from thinking about what could be if the two of them...no. No, what had just happened
couldn’t happen again. She hadn’t been the one to stop it this time and she knew that if it happened again...they might finish.
She smiled weakly as Eri made a hasty exit, tripping over her tiny feet as Koi chuckled after her. She really was sorry but, something wouldn’t let
her say it to her...She could say it to Koi though. She had complicated everything and now, without even being in a relationship she and Koi “needed
to talk”. Ugh. She hated that kind of talking. She didn’t like “talks”. Talks usually meant somebody walked away angry and she didn’t want
that for them. If she had to be honest with herself, she wasn’t sure if she would know what to do on the daily without Koi...yeah, it was official,
she spent entirely too much time with him.
But that was neither here nor there right now. The time they spent together before this day had been fine; smoking, chilling, just shooting the
shit...but now? She wasn’t sure what they were going to become now...now that she had fucked everything. Well, not everything. Although
now, with everything as tense as it was, she was feeling a little like “everything” was finding a lot more than a snowball’s chance. She
wondered, as Koi completely rejected her apology, if he wasn’t thinking the same thing she was. If he wasn’t kind of feeling like he didn’t want
her weak ass apology, he just wanted her...Because that was kind of what she wanted...Him to want her...Shit. Shit, shit, shit. She knew this
would happen! She knew this shit wou--Her thoughts stopped as Koi spoke again, saying he would go check on her if it made her feel better. It kind of
would and it would give her a minute to get herself back together.
She nodded a little as he made his way slowly to the stairs, pointing toward his keys on the table near the front door. The stash. Yes. That
was exactly what the two of them needed right now and she didn’t mind rolling if she got to hit first. She stood, finding her shoes by the
chessboard as Koi disappeared upstairs. Giving her the chance to be alone with her thoughts.
A smoke would be good for them. They could talk while they split their J and maybe the conversation wouldn’t be so... “talk”-ish. Maybe it’d
flow a little better if neither of them were in the position to argue much. Because that was one thing they didn’t do high; argue. Everything was
everything when Mary was involved and maybe, hopefully, that wouldn’t change tonight...She had made it to the car by now, slipping the key into the
hole to unlock the passenger side door, and bending to get the stuff from the glove compartment. Part of her didn’t want to go back inside. Part of
her wanted to get in her car and text him to tell him something came up, anything came up. The other half of her, the half that was heading back
inside, knew how wrong she would be for that.
She sighed as she came back inside, closing the front door behind her. Koi was coming back down the stairs as she passed into the living room so she
stopped, her eyes, finding him as she spoke, “Outside?” Fumie - 31-1-2016 at 07:17 PM
________________The Afternoon of Prom________________
Fumie smiled to herself as she descended the stairs, her happiness unshakable. Today was her baby's day! Prom night. Koi obviously hadn't been allowed
to go to prom after that unfortunate incident with the Davidson boy, but Fumie had pulled the necessary strings to get her baby what he wanted. What?
Koi had made a mistake! That didn't mean he never deserved to be happy again. And Devyn deserved it too. She had been here daily since Fumie
started allowing Koi visitors again (although she strongly suspected he was sneaking her in long before then). She'd been keeping him up on his
schoolwork, making sure he was comfortable, and even spending extra time with Eri. Of course, that's what she felt she was supposed to do as his
girlfriend. Yes, Fumie was allowed to call her that now.
She'd tested it the day he'd asked her about going to prom. Is this because your girlfriend wants to go? His simple answer had been "yeah"
and that was that. His baby had made things official with the girl he liked so much he'd fought for her. Of course Fumie was going to do everything
within her power to get them what they wanted. Blackmail had never been out of her realm of expertise and it came as easily to her as breathing.
Business was business. And Deputy Headmaster Johnson has been mixing that business with Devyn's aunt's pleasure...The headmistress' decision wasn't
set in stone after all it seemed.
Devyn had gotten Koi to graduation and Koi was taking Devyn to prom. Fumie was loving every minute of it. She couldn't wait to take pictures of them
in the foyer! To see them off. To watch this milestone in her baby's life! Her happiness was unshakeable and she couldn't wait for tonight.
She'd never gotten to go to her own prom, Shemar'd knocked her up with Koi by then. But Koi was giving her all the excitement she'd missed. Shemar - 1-2-2016 at 05:18 PM
The heavy front doors slammed behind Shemar as he snapped his shades off of his face, his temper flaring. It had NOT been a good day. Not only had it
taken over an hour to lodge the bitch from his hotel bed that he'd accidentally let sleep over, he'd gotten dropped by one of his sponsors! We're
looking to appeal to a younger crowd...which means a younger face selling our brand. A younger crowd? Really? What young asses actually gave two
shits about nasal strips?! He sighed heavily as he dropped his keys on the couch and plopped down next to them, rubbing his hand down his face. If
Shemar had to be real about it, shit had been fucked up for awhile. The nasal strip joint wasn't the first sponsor to drop him in the past months on
that "getting kind of old, aren't we Shemar?" trip. It was getting tiring, especially when Shemar knew his ass didn't look over twenty five! Or maybe
thirty-five lately as the whole damn situation just had him stressed out and...
And then shit like this stressed him out even more! "This" meaning his damn wife floating down the stairs on air like she was two seconds away from
singing to birds and talking to her pet mice. This shit! Everyone had been on a goddamn cloud and things seemed to be getting shittier for him! Koi
and his little nappy head were getting along lovely like, her ass sitting over his house more than he was in it even though Shemar definitely
remembered throwing her OUT of it. Then there was Fumie... That shit was another story. She'd been...completely not herself since their last fight.
She was...hell, he didn't know. But it creeped his shit all the way out. She was agreeable, cheery...happy? He'd even tried to start a couple
of fights in the past week and she'd just shrugged it off like... like she didn't give a fuck.
Hell, he didn't actually give two fucks either...but, normally? Fumie did. And now she just...didn't? Nah, fuck that. Whatever she was on, Shemar
needed the prescription for it too. But for now...
"Could you possibly walk any louder down the fucking stairs, Fumie?" He growled, his hand covering his face as he spoke. "You sound like a fucking
elephant stampede...damn..."Fumie - 1-2-2016 at 06:20 PM
Shemar was home. Yes, she'd heard the door when the security system chimed to let her know it was open. She was hoping it was Koi and Eri
back with his tux, but hearing it slam closed told her something different. Shemar had been in a funk lately. He was his usual moody, disgusting,
childish self, but he had been losing endorsements left and right. It was understandable that he was hating life right now and much to his surprise,
Fumie had been nothing but supportive. Why? Because she didn't give a fuck. Nothing Shemar said or did phased her anymore. Nothing. She had
Zo now.
For the first time in her entire life, Fumie was truly happy. In the month since her fight with Shemar and she and Zori's...realization at
the gym, she had been with him every moment possible. He was caring and gentle and...everything she had been missing in her years of marriage. Zori
made her happy. And Shemar knew it...well not necessarily the fact that it was Zo making her happy. But she had been more than agreeable lately with
absolutely everything. Ridiculous complaints, stupid comments, attempts to get a rise out of her. None of that mattered. Like now...
Could you possibly walk any louder down the fucking stairs... Awww, somebody had a bad day. Good. Fuck him. Fumie smiled, stopping at the
foot of the stairs as she turned toward the couch. "I'm sorry, baby-" she bent over, her leg lifting so she could remover her heels. "You sound stressed..." Her voice was light, friendly. Something he'd probably grown used to with how often she used it with him these
days. Did she care that she was stressed? No. Hell no. But she was his wifey right? His misery was her pleasure--oops, pain. Whatever. Shemar - 1-2-2016 at 06:44 PM
And there it was. That syrupy sweet voice followed by unbothered concern for her "baby". Bullshit. He looked up at her through his parted fingers
before he dropped his hand to his lap, rolling his eyes at her. Well...almost rolling his eyes at her. They kind of got caught up on the outfit she
was wearing, which hugged the curves that she'd been showing off all month. Any other day, he would've asked her for some. Lately that body was right
and his dick was more than willing. But today? The thought of fucking his sexy ass wife was as unappealing as hearing someone tell him how fucking old
he looked. The thought of fucking anyone was unappealing, actually. The hell was wrong with him?
"I sound stressed because I AM stressed." He admitted, sucking his teeth. Hell yeah he sounded stressed! His ego, money, and his image were being
fucked with! And all she could say was how "stressed" he sounded? She deserved a damn Nobel Peace Prize. They gave those for making discoveries,
right? Good, because she just discovered the obvious like a real genius. Congratulations.
"Another sponsor. Another mother fucking sponsor down the damn drain." He muttered more to himself than to Fumie. Sighing again, he looked at her a
little better. That leather skirt and those heels were a bit much for her ass to be around the house today.
"Well you're overdressed." He snipped, frowning at her. "Where you headed?"
"Better yet, where the hell is everyone?"Fumie - 2-2-2016 at 05:46 AM
Yet another sponsor lost. What a shame. Aging could be a bitch, huh? Fumie resisted the urge to shrug as her gaze turned sympathetic, "I'm sorry,
Shemar. Give it time, things will turn around." And she was done pretending to be understanding. She turned prepared to head to the kitchen for a
snack while she made a few calls for the summer program and waited for Koi to return, but Shemar's voice sounded again, this time with his version of
a compliment. Overdressed? She didn't think that was possible as Shemar Kidd's Wife (TM). Apparently it was. And she had to be going somewhere.
She looked at him again, a genuine smile coming to her lips as she thought again about her baby's big night. "I'm not going anywhere. Koi and Eri are
out grabbing his tux and I'm helping him get things together for tonight." She couldn't remember if she'd mentioned prom to Shemar. She knew Koi
hadn't as they had barely said three sentences to one another since Koi broke his arm. Well, since Shemar cussed him out about breaking his arm "over
a golddigging piece of pussy".
Fumie couldn't lie she'd been mad about that too. Not necessarily in those words, but Koi had scholarships to four D1 schools that fell through when
they heard about his injury. Granted, he still had back up schools to choose from, but...whatever. He would do a year, probably at KRU with Devyn, and
transfer. It was a big deal, but not big enough to stop talking to your son...of course they were talking about Shemar. So yeah, he probably had no
idea what she was talking about and she hoped he didn't ask. It was bad enough that Devyn was spending most waking moments with Koi, here. Shemar
knowing he was taking her to prom.
She could only imagine...
Shemar - 4-2-2016 at 01:53 PM
Oh, she could be sure things would turn around...because every sponsor that dropped him was getting straight up sued! Getting rid of him because he
was too old??? There had to be some law against that that would have money end up in his pockets. No one dropped Shemar Kidd without
repercussions. No matter how many motherfucking companies balled up and did it because they thought they saw age on him. Whatever. What the fuck
did they know anyway?
His tux? The fuck was that little nigga grabbing a tux for? His early funeral? Definitely not his damn wedding as Shemar would kill his ass
before he got married to that gold grubbing slut he called a "girlfriend" before he made it to college, which thanks to Shemar was still happening.
That gaped legged bitch had already ruined scholarships to worthwhile teams for Koi after he'd fought one of his boys for her. Shemar would be damned
if she ruined anything else. So nah, it wasn't his damn wedding...
"A tux?" Shemar scoffed, rolling his neck that had started getting stiffer and stiffer from the stress the past few days.
"The hell does he need a tux for?" Fumie - 4-2-2016 at 02:25 PM
Of course he had no idea what was going on with his kids. Especially not the one he had all but disowned over "his legacy". Fumie couldn't resist the
sigh that left her as she got herself together for the first fight in a couple weeks that she knew she was going to have to have. Shemar was going to
throw the tantrum of all tantrums and she really didn't want to entertain it. Ugh! Fumie walked fully into the living room, placing her shoes next to
the armchair as Shemar clarified his question. What would he need a tux for?
"Prom, Shemar. It's prom night." Fumie braced herself for the shit storm to follow. She knew there would be a fit and she hadn't even mentioned Devyn
yet. The fact that his son might be even the slightest bit happy was cause for ruin and if Shemar had his way, Fumie knew Koi wouldn't be going. But
Shemar wasn't going to have his way. Not now.
Not tonight.
Shemar - 6-2-2016 at 10:44 AM
Something had to be in Shemar's ear. Perhaps the shock of being dropped by yet another fucking sponsor had messed up his head, crapped up his
hearing...because he was pretty sure he'd just heard Fumie tell him that their son was going to prom. Their delinquent son. Their druggie,
disappointment of a son who hadn't done a damn thing in his high school career but get high and find some gap legged bitch to pull him down even
further...was going to prom?! And Fumie, of course, was behind it. Jesus. If there was one thing that Shemar could be certain of, it was that
his dumb ass wife would always coddle those two mistakes that Shemar couldn't help but call "their kids". And usually, he just stood by and watched
her do it. All of the drinking and manipulating on Koi's part...and Eri? Jesus, Eri. The girl couldn't make a straight sentence whenever she spoke to
him! Shemar'd never taken a firm hand with his kids the way his father had done with he and his siblings. The Kidd family didn't play that bullshit
because his father knew what a firm hand was worth. Well, his family was about to find out today.
"Who...the hell...said that his ass could go to prom, Fumie? Shemar spoke between gritted teeth in his idiot of a wife's direction.
"Last thing I heard, he was banned from prom? You know, from putting his fist through that Davidson kid's face." And breaking his arm right in the
middle of recruiting season, ending any chance that he had to even THINK about a D1 school in the fall. Because of that slut bitch that he'd been
bringing around, parading around like she was a goddamn trophy. And now, he was going to PROM?
"Please tell me that you're bullshitting me."Fumie - 6-2-2016 at 11:44 AM
Well, she said Koi could go. She was his mother. She had that authority. Of course that wasn't what she would say to Shemar. She had been trying so
hard to avoid fights with him these days. When it got to the point of him giving her the look he was now she usually caved, gave him what he wanted,
and rejoiced that he'd finally shut up. But she couldn't cave this time. Koi was going to prom. He had been planning it for weeks and this was really
important to him...Her baby was going to prom and that was all there was to it.
Fumie didn't answer his question, but it was apparently rhetorical as he kept talking, letting Fumie know the "last thing he heard". It was no
surprise that was the last thing he'd heard. He wasn't talking to his son! Please tell me you're bullshitting me. Fumie sighed, preparing to
give him the pushback he'd been missing the last few weeks. He wanted a fight? Well here it was.
"He was banned, Shemar. Things changed. Koi caught up with his school work, he's been a model citizen since the fight...he wanted prom and
graduation...-," she paused, debating whether or not she wanted to admit her involvement in it. Shemar knew she had been the one to fix things for
Koi. That was her role. It was the role she was even trying to play now. "I talked to some people and pulled a few strings." She shrugged, hoping if
she pretended it was nothing, Shemar wouldn't overreact about it. She already knew that wasn't happening. She needed to head this off.
Fumie stepped closer, coming to kneel in front of him as she rested her hands on his knees, "He's having a night out and I thought we might have a
night in." She smiled up at him her hand pulling his knees a little further apart as she bit her lip. Shemar just needed a distraction. He
needed to stop worrying about what Koi was doing and worry about all he ever really cared about. Himself.
"I've seen how stressed you've been lately, baby. Let me help..."Shemar - 16-2-2016 at 04:46 PM
I talked to some people and pulled a few strings... Of fucking course she did. Of course Fumie talked to unnecessary people and pulled
unnecessary strings for her little boy. The little boy that she, to this day, couldn't see she was ruining! A mix between an annoyed groan and an
incredulous laugh escaped Shemar as he listened to Fumie's heroic tale of bullshit because once again, she'd stepped in and saved the goddamn day for
Koi, the ungrateful addict that lived under their roof. And it was funny! Shit, it was hilarious! That she'd actually believed she'd done a "good
thing"? Laughable. Fumie believed, in that twisted, empty fucking skull of hers that she'd actually saved the day. And the shit was pathetic. Pathetic
and irritating as hell.
"Di- did you ever think...that his ass was banned for a reason, Fumie?" He spat out at her, matching her shrug as she stood there, stupidly in front
of him.
"He fucked that Davidson kid up, you know. Fucked up his arm too in the process! Fucked up his chances at a Title 1. FUCKED UP MY LEGA-..." A forced
exhale interrupted Shemar's words as he flexed his hands, his knuckles cracking from the stress building between his joints. He wasn't doing it. He
wasn't going there with Fumie. No, he'd had enough from the day to honestly not want to even get into it with her ass. Lately, he'd argued
her...wanted a rise out of her...wanted her to forget herself so he could help her remember with the fucking toe of his Ferragamos. But not
to-fucking-day. He was over today...
...Let me help... Grimacing, he watched Fumie walk to him, her hips rolling underneath that tight skirt. She knelt in front of him, purring
at him with a voice he hadn't heard in weeks .Smiling up at him...pulling his knees apart as she bit at her full lips. Leaning foward, his eyes
connected with hers, his jaw clenching...
"Don't fuckin' touch me..." He growled, swatting at her hands. He moved his face closer to hers.
"The only way my dick in your mouth would help me is when it finally mutes your fucking voice." Fumie - 16-2-2016 at 06:39 PM
Yes! Of course she did! That was what Fumie did. She fixed. When things went wrong in the lives of the people she loved and Shemar, she fixed. If he
hadn't been so hell bent on being all pissy right now (and if she cared more), she might have offered to fix a few of his sponsorship deals. But no.
He wanted to focus on things that were already in motion and wouldn't be changed. Koi was going to prom and that wasn't negotiable.
Did she think he was banned for a reason? Fumie sighed, listening to Shemar recount Koi mistake as if she hadn't been the sole adult handling that
situation too. Derrick's mother was all a mess and his father was talking about lawsuits. It had been Fumie who smoothed that over to a loss of
privileges and some community service. Shemar didn't know shit about it because he was too busy being a little pissbaby and crying about "his legacy".
She was surprised he knew the kid's name...but that was beside the point. Yes, Koi made a mistake. But Derrick was gone now and that was the past. Koi
had been nothing but compliant with school officials since then, he had completed all the work he had to for graduation, and he hadn't partied at all
since the fight. He'd earned prom. And he didn't even want to go! He'd done it all for Devyn and as much as Fumie hated to think it, she knew
if Devyn hadn't been pushing him to do all of that, Koi wouldn't be graduating.
No. He was going to prom. Shemar just needed a distraction. He was a simple man with simple needs and she could fill those. She would give him a
little preview of what he could have tonight and he would forget about his kids, as usual. Fumie was on her knees in front of him, the tease in her
voice apparent as she just waited for his go ahead...or...not. A frustrated sigh escaped her as he swatted at her hands and commanded her not to touch
him. Ugh!
"Oh my God, Shemar, you're being so dramatic for no reason right now-," Fumie expressed her true feelings, standing and putting distance between them
again. Her arms folded in front of her. "What do you want? What can I do to get you to fucking drop this?" Because he was going to drop this. It was
stupid and if he'd gone out to fuck whatever underaged girl he was supposed to be fucking tonight, he wouldn't have even known the difference.
Couldn't he just leave for the night like he usually did?Shemar - 27-3-2016 at 12:05 PM
Dramatic!? Shemar was being dramatic because he was making perfect sense? There wasn't a damn thing in Koi's previous four years of high school that
made prom a given! He didn't do shit when it came to his grades. His ass was always in the middle of some shit...as if Shemar needed a reminder of the
stacks that he dropped just to keep that idiot out of an overnight drunk tank stay. And even though Shemar couldn't say that he kept it together when
he was in high school, his behavior looking a lot like Koi's, but he sold himself on the damn court. His game was the reason why he'd deserved prom,
his diploma, and the seven offers he received from several D1 schools. He'd pulled his lousy ass high school team to win championships that didn't
nobody on that team deserve outside of him. He MADE shit happen. He put his high school on the map. Their asses should've paid for his tux AND the
limo. Compared to Koi? Shemar did his part. Compared to his half-wit, disappointment of a son? Shemar was golden.
"Watch your mouth, wifey." He growled, his eyes still burning into her's as she put on the familiar attitude that she'd been wearing for longer than
Shemar had really been comfortable with. Don't give a shit coated with fake compliance. And he couldn't for the life of him figure out where she'd
found the balls to keep treating him that way...like he deserved it. Like he was a fucking grub underneath the soles of her goddamned red bottoms.
"Let me remind you." His voice carried an edge from the day that expressed just how unready he was to deal with her bullshit. He didn't want to be the
only idiot fussing and cursing when her ass maintained the same fake smiles but don't really give a shit crap she'd been giving him the entire
conversation.
"Ain't nothing bitch made about the nigga sittin' in front of you." His eyes narrowed dangerously as he spoke. "And the next time I hear you hinting
towards that shit...using words like 'dramatic' attached to my person...I'll slap the words back in your mouth. For real..."
His threat met quiet as he stared at Fumie, daring her to come back with more sass, with more attitude, with more...something. Something that would
let Shemar get at her the way he'd been trying to since she'd started treating him like one of her damn children.
"Prom ain't happening." His words were simple, but the weight of them said "challenge". One that he hoped Fumie would answer...Fumie - 27-3-2016 at 01:04 PM
HA! If she could have read his mind she might have laughed out loud at the notion that Shemar knew anything about Koi. Don't get it wrong, Fumie
wasn't confused about who her son was; he had always been more of his father than she liked, but he was changing. Ever since Devyn started coming
around there had been less. Less attitude, less drinking, less of the drugs that worried her to no end. He was getting better. Better grades, better
behavior, better...Koi had earned prom in the last few months, despite the little tiff he got in with Derrick. Besides, who was Shemar to judge? She
knew for a fact his womanizing hadn't started when he started screwing her over. His mother and his sisters had all attested to the nightmare he was
in high school. The apple didn't fall far from the tree...
Fumie stared, her face unreadable as Shemar told her to watch her mouth. It took very fiber of her being not to roll her eyes as the drama continued.
Why was he here again? She was sure he had some ass lined up that he could fuck his frustration into. What was he doing here taking out his depression
with old age on her. On her son. She wasn't sure why he thought he was allowed to have a say in the way she parented her kids...He sure didn't have
much to say when things were going wrong. Now that things were right and Koi was finally happy? Fuck that.
Let me remind you...Blah, blah, blah. She got it. He was a big man and nothing was "bitch made" about him and who the fuck gave a shit. He
was really starting to piss her off and she was tired of pretending that this was a real discussion. She'd done her best not to argue with him in the
past few weeks, Zori playing a big part in keeping her grounded, but tonight was the night all of that was coming to a head. Especially as he offered
his useless decree in the matter of prom.
"Yes. It is." Fumie's face remained stoic as she spoke, not an ounce of emotion in her voice as she stated simple fact. "My son is going to prom. He's
taking his girlfriend. And he's going to have a great time." Fumie shrugged giving Shemar the challenge he'd been looking for for weeks. Fuck it. Shemar - 27-3-2016 at 01:53 PM
The hell was she staring at? Did he fucking stutter? Shemar was sure that everything he'd said to her, she'd understood. She'd read between the lines.
No prom. Koi's staying his ass at home. That hoe he's with can choke on Shemar's dick. End of discussion. Try me and I knock your teeth clean into
your skull. Simple, right? Yet his clueless wife just looked at him, the expression on her face unchanging. Like she didn't get it...like she
wasn't taking him seriously. Which was the problem lately. Fumie thought he was playing. With that new ass came a new personality that Shemar wanted
to fucking punch in the face. And he didn't give a damn. She could be fine as fuck, have a body like a Kardashian...and still get knocked the fuck
out. All he needed was opportunity...and it looked like he had plenty of that as Fumie stared at him like she was going to challenge what he'd...
My son is going to prom...
Shemar's eyes widened as the rest of Fumie's words blended into each other, the rest as unimportant but as infuriating as the first. Koi was going to
prom? Oh, really? Shemar's lip curled into a sneer as he pulled himself from the couch, hands pushed into his pants pockets as he moved closer to
Fumie. Close enough that he could look her dead in the eye, his body towering over hers.
"Say it again." He spat, face lowering closer to hers as he continued to stare at her. He didn't blink, his threatening words hanging in the air.
"You bold as fuck lately, baby." His mouth moved closer to her ear. "So say it again. Please. So I can knock your fucking top-"
The sound of the door chime signaling the opened front door interrupted his threat, but the blood pulsing in his temples and the clinching of his
fists in his pockets kept him hovering over his mouthy ass wife.Fumie - 27-3-2016 at 02:50 PM
He was surprised. As Fumie spoke to him she watched his eyes go wide in shock at her words. Her challenge. She saw the glint in his eye that always
appeared when he was about to start shit. The clench in his jaw that told her he was angry. Did she give a damn? Not today. Shema would not have his
way today. He would push this to the limit, Fumie would endure what she had to and when he was done throwing his tantrum he would storm out of the
house to be seen when he couldn't be away any longer. Hopefully by then she'd have gotten the balls to file for divorce...
Lately it was all she could think about. With Zori she was happy. Her kids were happy...well mostly Eri, as the one time Koi and Zori had met
(definitely not on purpose) had been just short of a disaster. But Koi had Devyn so the point was, everyone was good. And the key piece was an absent
Shemar. Shemar was holding this family back from happiness and she was getting closer and closer to letting him go. She was even beginning to wonder
why she stayed in the first place. It was strange for her...not fearing him for the first time in a long while.
And he was trying to combat that, coming to stand from the couch and hover over her. He was trying to intimidate her. But it wasn't working today. She
was willing to fight. Say it again. Fumie felt her lips twitch, itching for the chance to tell him again that her baby was going to prom and
nothing he could do would change that. She allowed herself to smirk as he kept talking, basically begging her to test him. He didn't have to. She was
going to--Shit.
The door chimed and Fumie knew this little pissing match could go no further. Fumie turned away from Shemar, a smile coming to her face as she heard
Eri's laugh from around the corner.
This was an argument for another time. Koi - 27-3-2016 at 05:18 PM
"...and I can't wait to see Devyn's dress! Is mommy going to take pictures? When is Devyn coming? Is her family coming too?" Koi smirked as Eri fired
off question after question, barely taking a breath in between them. He shifted the tuxedo bag in his arms as he juggled his key ring, Devyn's
coursage and the shoebox that held his Saint Laurents. Between Eri's questions, his overly full arms and the nerves that he was just beginning to
feel, he couldn't wait for the night to get started. And not just so it could be over as he wasn't hiding the fact that prom was still something he
was doing for Devyn. But because everything that he'd been working for had built up to this moment. He was taking Devyn to prom.
"I dunno, little babe." He muttered, shrugging as he tried to stick the key into the deadlock again. "You could lend a hand, you know". He chuckled at
the long sigh his little sister released before she grabbed the shoebox and the bag with the coursage from him. The questions had been nonstop from
the second they'd gotten in the car, mall bound. Koi got it. Eri was completely excited. It was almost like SHE was going to the prom. She'd asked him
questions about everything. From the colors he and Devyn were wearing (red, of course) to the decorations the prom committee had used, Eri had to know
everything.
"You could at least pretend to be more excited than me." Eri muttered while Koi opened the front door, holding it open so that she could walk in
first. And even though he laughed it off, Koi knew she was right. Yeah, prom wasn't really his thing, but there were still things he could've been
excited for. Devyn hadn't shown him the dress she was wearing, but she'd let him personally pick out what she'd be wearing under it. And the after
party that the team had planned was about to be live! And to top it off, he and Devyn were sharing a limo with the crew. All that awesome and yet, Koi
wasn't exactly in the celebratory spirit.
"I'm am! I'm stoked, babe..." He forced a smile, shutting the door behind them, toting his things into the living room so his mom could check out his
tux...which meant "approve" of it as she'd been orchestrating "operation: prom" from the moment he'd come to her for help with it. Koi wasn't
complaining though. His moms had come through. She'd been...amazing about everything. He'd remember to do something nice for her after this as a thank
you. Take her to lunch...buy her flowe-
"Um..." Koi's steps stopped short as he surveyed the scene in front of him. His pops....entirely too close to his mom. And even though the smile on
her face attempted to diffuse how thick the "drama" was in the room, her attempt failed. Mostly because the angry glare that neared rage on his
father's face was directed RIGHT at his mother.
"...Eri. Why don't you take my stuff upstairs. I'll be there in a second." He said without looking at her, his gaze shifting between his mother and
his father.Fumie - 28-3-2016 at 05:22 AM
I am! I'm stoked, babe...Shemar would not have his way. Not this time, not with this. Koi deserved this happiness! He had earned it and he
would have it without bearing witness to another one of his father's childish fits. So as Koi and Eri rounded the corner to look into the living room,
Fumie put on a smile and hoped, surely in vain, that Shemar would do the same. They could argue later! Koi's voice faltered taking in the scene and
dismissing his sister from what Fumie was sure looked like a bad situation. He'd always been smarter than he gave himself credit for.
Eri headed for the stairs without question, probably not wanting to spend another minute with an obviously pissy Shemar. "Nonsense-," Fumie waved her
hand as she stepped closer to Koi. "Go with her, Sweets. You need to get ready." And he needed to let her handle this. The last thing either of them
needed was for Shemar to get him all upset before he had to go to prom. It was no secret that he was only going because Devyn wanted it and there was
no reason to put him in a mood to make things worse.
Fumie watched his gaze drift between her and Shemar. No. "I've got this baby, really. Go." Shemar - 28-3-2016 at 04:24 PM
The kids were home. And just like the trained bitch that Shemar had been wondering for weeks if she remembered that she was, the obstinence in Fumie's
demeanor broke, a fake smile pasted to her lips as she turned away from Shemar and waited for Eri and Koi to enter the living room. All signs of the
shit building between he and Fumie had disappeared, a show that Fumie always tried to put on for...hell, anyone with eyes. The kids, her family that'd
had stopped fucking with her from the moment she'd ran off with him...even the complete strangers that ate everything the gossip mags fed them.
Everyone was a damn spectator at the Fumie Show. Everything is fine. We're fine. It's handled. And to maintain that charade that she'd tried
so hard to keep up, Shemar was almost positive she'd do the one thing that would keep the peace...
She'd back down. There was no way she was letting something as stupid as that little nigga's prom cause a blow up that she KNEW was going to cost her.
In the scheme of things, what the fuck was prom? Something that Koi wouldn't even remember after it was done...mostly because his ass would probably
be high through the entire thing. And years down the line, when that big assed girlfriend of his left him and he was strung out of something
snort-able or shootable, prom wasn't going to be the thing he remembered. No, it'd be the career he let get away from him the second he stuck his dick
in that bitch's slot and called it gold...
...You need to get ready...
"He needs to get ready?! Get ready for what, Fumie?" Shemar spat as his eyes didn't leave his wife as she moved closer to Koi.
"He ain't goin' nowhere! If you opened your motherfuckin' ears, you would've heard it when I said it the FIRST time!" Shemar waited for her to
respond, but she was still talking to Koi, talking about how she had it handled...how she would take care of it. It? IT?! Like he wasn't motherfucking
standing in the room with them!
"Don't you fucking disregard me like I'm not STANDING RIGHT THE FUCK HERE!" Closing the space between Fumie and Koi, he blocked her from view.
"Prom is out the damn question. I don't know what plans your sorry ass mama thought she was helping you make...but it ain't happening."
Fumie - 29-3-2016 at 10:28 AM
She wasn't having a screaming match with him. Fumie thought she'd made it pretty clear that Koi was indeed going to prom and she wasn't going to say
anything else about it. So yeah. He needed to get ready. And if Shemar wanted to fight about it, he could fight with himself. Fumie kept talking, her
hand coming to his face to focus him on her words. I've got this, baby. She didn't want him to be here for this little temper tantrum she was
sure Shemar was going to throw...hell, he was already throwing it.
With her back to Shemar, Fumie allowed herself to roll her eyes so far back in her head she thought she might lose them. She was about to respond to
him, but he appeared between she and Koi, pulling her roughly back by her shoulder. He was focused on Koi now, telling him again that prom wasn't
happening and he didn't--ha. Fumie scoffed sourly at the notion that Shemar would admit he "didn't know" something. Duh. And he was still clueless if
he thought she was backing down on this.
"Koi-," Shemar shifted, his eyes meeting hers, nostrils flared just daring her to speak against him again. She didn't need his challenge. "Go get your
stuff and your sister and go to Dhonny's." She was talking to Koi, but her her eyes stayed locked to Shemar's, her gaze obstinately defiant.
Shemar could huff and puff all he wanted, but tonight was not the night and Fumie was not the one. Koi - 29-3-2016 at 03:59 PM
What the hell did he and Eri walk in on? Koi knew that on a regular day, there was no telling what he'd see when he entered the Kidd house. Mostly, he
expected empty. But that was on better days, when both of his parents were so busy avoiding each other that they steered clear of the house all
together. But on the shit days? He ran into his pops walking in the house smelling like a perfume that his moms never wore or he found his moms in
the kitchen, cussing out his girlfriend because she thought she was one of his dad's whores. And if all cards followed fucking suite? It looked like
this was going to be a "shit" day.
"Eh, chill with that..." He muttered, his father's eyes flashing angrily at Koi as he nearly pulled his mother off of her feet trying to get between
them just to speak his mind and tell Koi- wait, what?!
"I'm not going where?!" He asked, his question directed at his mother, even though his father was the one who'd said the unmistakable words. Prom
is out of the damn question... What?! Since when? And why! What the hell had transpired in the fucking three hours that he and Eri had been out
of the house that would cause Prom to be a non-factor to his night? One guess...Shemar fucking Kidd. His father had a way of ruining
everything! He tried to ruin Koi's relationship with Devyn after the shit that went down the Derrick. He'd tried to ruin Koi's social life after his
broken arm fucked his chances of getting offers from colleges. And now, he was ruining prom?! Nope. Fuck that. Koi's father could've honed in on
anything that night to ruin...but prom wasn't going to be it. Because prom didn't belong to Koi. Not one fucking bit of it did. Not the tux, not the
fly ass Saint Laurent shoes. Not the limo...and not even the penthouse suite at the Astor. ALL of that belonged to Devyn. It was HER night...and
Shemar Kidd would NOT fuck it up.
His face set as his mother called his name, trying to distract him from the look his father was giving him. The one that said "try me and see if I
don't knock the shit out of you." Psh. Fuck him. And fuck him twice if he thought Koi was about to kill months of planning for HIM.
"Mom..." He heard her. She wanted him to leave. Take Eri and get his shit and go to Dhonny's. And that was probably the better idea...but he wasn't
leaving her. He wasn't leaving her alone with his Pops...not with the way his father was staring at her. And not when he knew exactly what that stare
meant...Fumie - 30-3-2016 at 01:32 PM
A "shit day" indeed. It hadn't started that way. Koi and Devyn had plans the night before that included Eri. With all of her kids occupied, Fumie had
spent the night with Zori and crept in at dawn like a teenager. Having a great night led to her having a great morning. She made breakfast for her
babies, listened to Koi agree with Eri's excitement about prom and made sure all of the moving pieces were taken care of. One of the moving pieces
that Fumie hadn't considered? Her husband. He shouldn't have even been here! Shemar never had a dry night. She knew there was a 19 year old
coed somewhere waiting for him. Why he wasn't with her now she didn't know...Instead he was here. Bitching.
I'm not going where?! He knew what his father was talking about, even before he pushed his way between them to make his point. Fumie watched
Koi's face change from a heartbreaking disappointment to a rage that made him look so much like his father. She couldn't let Shemar take this from
him! To take it from Devyn...Deep down Fumie knew that was what this was about.
Yes, on the surface, Shemar liked making the people around him miserable, but this was about keeping Koi away from Devyn. Fumie had heard him call
that girl ever name synonymous with bitch and golddigger in the book. He'd hated her since their kitchen episode and while he blamed it on her being
disrespectful, it was probably mostly because she made Koi happy. And Koi was trying to make her happy in return. Shemar would not get his damn way
tonight. Fuck that.
Fumie ignored Shemar, surely fanning the fire, but she didn't care. She told Koi to take his prom stuff and his sister and head over to Dhonny's to
get ready. Because he was still going. His monkey ass daddy was not about to stop this show and Fumie was willing to have it out with him. What she
didn't want was to traumatize Eri anymore than she already was from the last time she had to listen to Shemar...lose his temper. And she didn't want
Koi in the way. She wanted him at prom.
A soft "mom" left him as he looked at her with sympathetic eyes. He knew what she was asking. He knew what would happen if he left...But he also
needed to know a child's place. It was her job to keep him safe and happy, not the other way around. He needed to go.
"Do what I'm telling you, Koi." Her voice was hard, stren. She wasn't asking him to leave, she was telling him. Koi - 31-3-2016 at 12:55 PM
If leaving her with the pompous idiot of an ass that just happened to be his father meant doing what his mother wanted him to do, Koi would kindly
fucking decline. There was no way...and he really meant no way in hell he was leaving his mother with his father. What? Because he had to get ready
for prom? Yeah, prom meant a shitload to Devyn, which meant that it meant even more to him. But at the price of another family blow up? Nah. Koi was
tired. He really was. He was completely over it! The last big blow up his parents had had ended up in Eri seeing some shit go down that Koi had hoped
she'd never have to witness. Because he wasn't there...because the argument had been about HIM. He was tired of shit going wrong because of him. Shit
exploded that night and he'd been too stuck up his own ass to notice. That wasn't happening tonight...
"No!" He answered a little too loudly, the eye contact he held with his mother slipping as he saw her features darken dangerously. He shook his head
and met her eyes again.
"No, Mommy." His voice was softer, but it was just as firm as hers. He wasn't leaving her. He wasn't coming home to a cold house, broke shit littering
the floor telling him exactly what had gone wrong when he wasn't there. He wasn't leaving her with his father...
"And this is stupid..." He turned back to his father, hoping to speak some sense into the situation. Hoping that for once, He could be the peacemaker
that his mother always was. That he'd always hated her for being...
"All this over prom? Come on." He was...pleading. He hated himself for it. Begging his father without words to please...not do this. To be a
different...better person. Jesus, his father was a hard ass. He was spoiled and fucking selfish. He thought of himself first and his flesh and blood
second. He...was a bastard. But Koi needed, beyond anything, for there to be a reasonable person in him tonight. Of all nights, Koi was desperate for
it tonight.
"You guys worked hard as hell for me...and I ruined everything. I always do. I know I don't deserve anything from you...I know that." He looked down,
rubbing his hand over his cursl as he spoke.
"Pops, you got me into KRU...and on a full ride, too. And Moms...she got me into prom...but it wasn't just all you. I got my grades up...stayed out of
trouble. I mean...c'mon. I just...I need this. I need tonight." Fumie - 1-4-2016 at 12:30 PM
No! Fumie felt her head tilt as her features darkened with her son's outburst. She was not about to take this shit from both sides.
All Koi needed to do was get his ass upstairs, take his sister, and leave. Fumie had the rest covered. WHat she wouldn't do though was damage Eri
anymore than she had the last time things got out of hand between her and Shemar. The poor baby still jumped at sudden noises and if she was hiding
from Shemar before, she was "Where's Waldo" to the bullshit these days. It was a wonder she'd stepped foot in the house hearing him...but Eri wasn't
the only one she was worried about.
Fumie opened her mouth to tell him to leave again, but he spoke first, another more docile 'no' leaving him. Fumie sighed her frustration, but her son
wasn't done. He wanted to try talking sense into his father? Okay. Maybe, just once, Shemar was going to be a decent human being and listen to what
his son had to say. Maybe, on this special occasion, he would take one night and not be the complete cunt his whole family knew he was. Maybe he just
needed his son to tell him, like an adult, that he had fucked up and he was sorry and he was trying to do better...Koi was...He was growing up.
In his pleading attempt to sway his father, Koi showed Fumie just a little bit of growth. He'd taken responsibility for his actions, he'd shown
gratitude, he had even made it a point to update his clueless father that he wasn't just asking for a handout. He had indeed tried to earn prom. And
Shemar thought he was taking that from him? After that? Nah...
"Shemar-," her voice was soft again; the voice she used when she wanted to convince him something was for the better and his idea. "Be reasonable,
baby." She stepped closer to him then, a careful hand reaching out to his arm to draw his attention.
"It's one night..." Shemar - 5-4-2016 at 05:40 PM
Shemar looked from his son's pleading face to his wife's, her voice as soft as her touch to his arm. He saw the plea in her expression too. The want
for everything about that night to be simple...to go her way. Their way. It's just one night... Be reasonable... I need tonight,
Pops. Those words. The last words he'd heard were from Koi. And whether they'd known it or not, Koi's words had done the trick...
"You've got...to be fucking kidding me." Shemar said quietly, his lips curling into an incredulous smirk, a chuckle sounding the disbelief in his
voice.
"This ain't Dr. Phil!" His voice raised as he shook his head at his son and his wife. "And you can back the fuck up...hand." He nodded toward Fumie's
hand, signaling her to get it the hell off of his skin before he removed it himself.
"The answer is STILL 'fuck no'! Because regardless what you or your delusion mama thinks, you don't deserve shit, Koi!" The thought that his son, the
son that had caused more trouble for the family than he had good, deserved anything besides military school and a spot on an episode of "Scared
Straight" was hilarious! It was insane how Koi even started to think that not causing trouble for a month muted out his entire high school career. The
little nigga BRED trouble. Trouble followed his ass like a fucking fart! And yet, he deserved prom? HA!
"All your little punk ass has ever done was breathe and take up goddamn space. So you can stop with the 'Cosby kid' moment, take your shit upstairs
and get the fuck out of my face..." With a scoff, he turned around and started walking back to the couch.Fumie - 6-4-2016 at 08:45 AM
And just when she thought he would decide to be a reasonable person; when she thought he would decide to be a father...nope. And she was the dumbass
for getting her hopes up. All Shemar ever did was tear his kids down. He took joy in ensuring their absolute misery...She didn't know why she thought
that just this once he would be decent to his own damn blood!
Her eyes rolled as he told them this wasn't Dr. Phil and she needed to back up. Ugh. Again with the drama and the theatrics! Couldn't he just keep it
fucking simple, tell them no and then run off to escape his responsibilities? Then they could do what they wanted anyway...in fact, she
wasn't sure why he was under the impression they needed his approval. Oh, but he was going to give it wasn't he...Fumie took yet another step back
from him as he yelled at Koi, repeating his answer and telling the two of their "delusional" asses that Koi didn't deserve shit.
"As if you would fucking know that-," Fumie let her voice trail off, probably unheard as he was still focused on telling his son what a disappointment
he was, spouting utter BULLSHIT because Shemar had no idea what Koi did unless he was getting into trouble. The Golden Age? When Koi and Devyn were
together, before the insanity of that pregnancy scare? Koi had been nothing but good. No, he hadn't won any Peace Prizes or gotten a key to the city,
but he kept his nose clean - in all senses of the phrase as far as she knew - and his grades up. His life had literally been, school, practice, and
Devyn for MONTHS. And all he was was trouble?
"How the fuck would you know that Shemar?" She was irritated. Here he was telling them all the shit he knew about his good for nothing son and he
spent what...maybe three days out of the week here? "I make the mistake of calling you when your son is in trouble because I used to be under the
delusion that you gave a shit, but you don't know shit about what happens with the people in this house. You're never fucking here and, don't get me
wrong, we prefer it that way, but don't act like you know what Koi has been up to this year."
She hadn't gotten loud. She wasn't doing too much with her hands. Fumie was just giving him the cold facts. He was never here and he never asked what
was going on with Koi. She was over pretending it was okay for him to dictate their lives. They were people, not puppets and she wasn't letting him
pull anymore strings. Shemar - 19-6-2016 at 11:12 AM
How the fuck would you know that Shemar?" Apparently his wife hadn't figured it out when he'd ignored her the FIRST time she'd let those
ignorant words out of her mouth. What the fuck more WAS there to know besides the countless times that she'd called Shemar to bail their son out of
some illegal, fucking situation he'd gotten himself into? How many times had she asked for a little extra on his tuition to "soften the blow" of some
stupid incident, not excluding the very recent episode of his nearly bashing his supposed-best friend's brain all the way the fuck in? What part was
he not very clear on? What was he missing? Because if Shemar remembered, that shit was why his ass shouldn't have been going to the damn prom in the
FIRST place. But Fumie...predictable ass Fumie. She always had Koi's damn back. Always pleaded him innocent when he was ALWAYS guilty as fuck.
"First of all, MOUTH." He pointed his finger into her face, his warning to watch her words already understood as he turned back towards her, his eyes
burning into her.
"I don't need a fucking recap on the shit I do for YOUR goddamn children, Fumie. Because regardless how you wanna play "forgetful", EVERY GOD DAMN
TIME you call, I come running to save these fucking kids from some shit bomb they've gotten themselves into BECAUSE OF YOU!" His eyes blazed as he
advanced on Fumie again. Slowly, Koi moved in front of his mother, his eyes warily on Shemar.
"And who the FUCK do you think you're talking to?!" Her mouth was reckless, her voice a little too high and her expression a little too fierce for her
to be talking to the man she knew could put her ass through a wall, regardless if her goddamn son was watching.
"You walk around here, demanding shit that ain't yours to demand! Bitching about a nigga that's always kept you and the kids right! FUCKING SET for
life! And all you do is complain!"
Shemar's chest pushed against Koi's as he stared Fumie down, Koi's voice cutting into a "grown folks" moment that he should've had his ass out of when
it began...and Shemar would've told him so...if Fumie hadn't started speaking first.Fumie - 19-6-2016 at 12:26 PM
She was so done. The more she talked the more she realized that she was done with Shemar. She was done playing with him, done pretending with him,
done...done. She felt herself smile a bit at the inkling of freedom she felt with that thought. She could be free. She wasn't sure now why she thought
she couldn't before, but something had changed and she saw it now. With Shemar staring at her like she'd lost her mind and saying more things she
wasn't interested in, she saw that this didn't need to be her life.
Somewhere between her realization and Shemar's rant, Koi had slipped between them. This didn't need to be his life either. It should have never been
Eri's. Why had she done this? Years had gone by with her tolerating so much more than Shemar deserved from her and...why? She couldn't remember
anymore; not since Zori. He made her the woman she had been before this marriage dissolved. When all she was interested in was loving who she was with
and being everything her kids needed...She hadn't been with Shemar in years and she hadn't been who her kids needed in even longer...That ended today.
"I'm talking to you." Her words were slow and clear and obviously unexpected as Shemar's rage slipped to surprise. Fumie smiled fully, giving a soft
scoff as realization just washed over her. "I hate you. I have hated you for so long, but I was so interested in what people thought and how I wanted
things to be that I ignored that I hated you and tried to make this work. I...hate you, ohmygod." A giggle left her as she turned away from him, but
only for a second as she tried to get control of her excitement.
"You make me NUTS! Constantly trying to please you and meet some impossible standard that might make you love me again when I know that deep down you
will never love me again because you don't even love yourself like...-," Another pause as she ran a hand through her hair, feeling every bit of
tension leave her body, "And I have let you do that for so long! And I hated every minute of it but now...-," moving a stunned Koi from between them,
she stepped closer to her husband of almost 20 years. Her fingers adjusted his tie and brushed off his lapel as she looked back into his eyes.
"Now I want a divorce." Koi - 19-6-2016 at 02:02 PM
With his asshole of a father basically shouting at his mother in his FUCKING ear, Koi was surprised that he could only think of ONE thing...how
much he fucking wished they wouldn't do this tonight. Not on prom night. Damn, he knew it was selfish, especially since the reason they were at
each other's throats again was none other than HIM. But if he was honest, he wasn't weighing on his parents' fucked up relationship or their bullshit
tonight. It was about them. He and Devyn. He'd done his part. He'd worked miracles, even. And now, it was time for something to go right for he and
Devyn. Tonight was supposed to be that something "right". With everything Koi had fucked up...tonight needed to be perfect...and not...this.
His father screaming at his mom...AGAIN. His mother not taking his shit, which was a new development. And honestly, Koi would've been pretty amused by
it...if it hadn't been happening on PROM NIGHT.
"Yo...please. Not tonight... Please, Pops." He whispered frantically as his father nearly swatted him dead in his fucking face. Shemar Kidd was doing
what Shemar Kidd always did...not listen to anyone and run his damn mouth. And with all the intervening that Koi found himself doing, he knew
how everything was going to end up. No matter how his moms fought it. No matter what...Shemar was going to bitch and yell until he got his way. That
was Koi's father. Spoiled. Selfish. A "bitch" in every sense of the word. And not even his family could change that about him. Not even on...
Shit. Koi's face crumpled as he caught movement out of the corner of his eye...and he saw her standing there. Eri. Kneeling on the landing
and peering through the rails of the staircase, her face in the same expression that it always fell into when Shemar was around. Eyes unbelievable
wide. Mouth tight. Hands taunt around the bars of the stair rail. Koi didn't want her to see this. The fact that she could hear it was enough, but
seeing it? Seeing his dad in his mother's face and the words coming out of his mouth? It was too much for her...too much for...
I'm talking to you...His mother's voice broke Koi's eye contact with Eri as his head twisted as far as it could to look at her. His father's
body went slack with shock for a second, the surprise on both of their faces making he and his dad look more like twins than they already did.
What did she just say?
I hate you. The words were so...calm. Like Koi's mom was just realizing how blue the damn sky was or how green the fucking grass was for the
first time. Like it was something as inconsequential as a comment on the weather. But it wasn't...just words that she spoke. She said everything.
Everything that Koi wished she would say to his dad...from day fucking one. From the day he'd stopped giving a shit about his family. The day she and
Koi woke up enough to see how fucking stupid it was being Shemar Kidd's number one fan. Everything that Koi KNEW she felt towards him, hid inside
herself. Just to keep the peace. Just to save the family. Just to fool the media and the public. The words that she'd fucking logged for years and
years. From every fight, every mistress, every bruise...
Now...I want a divorce. Holy. Shit.Fumie - 20-6-2016 at 02:02 AM
It felt so good to finally tell the truth. To finally get out a decade and a half of the feelings she packed down whenever she had to deal with his
bullshit. It felt SO GOOD! Even as she stood there, her eyes connecting with the shock in his as he tried to comprehend what she'd just said. I
want a divorce. Sure, she'd said it before; but it had never been like this. She'd always been so unsure, teetering on the edge of hope that he
would go back to the man she'd fallen in love with as a kid. The first time he'd cheated? She yelled it at him in the lobby of the hotel he was
staying at for an away game. She had wanted to surprise him, but the surprise ended up being on her. And she did take Koi and leave for a while, but
Shemar apologized. He promised not to do it again. She went back to him. She'd said it again the first time he fractured one of her ribs during one of
his tantrums. But Shemar apologized. He cried and he promised never to do it again. She went back to him.
This time? She was at ease. At peace with closing this chapter in her life and starting something new with someone else. Something better with Zo.
Even if they only dated for a while and it didn't work out, she would at least be done with Shemar. And more importantly, her kids could be done with
him. Never again would Koi jump into a fight between she and his father. She would be done going to find Eri in her favorite hiding spot when her
father was home. None of them would ever have to live like prisoners in this house EVER again.
Fumie waited for his response to her...outburst? She could call it that. She knew it would be met with violence and she hated Koi was going to have to
see that, but she still didn't regret what she said. She did hate him. She was leaving him. And the fact remained that Koi was still going to prom.
This night was for he and Devyn. Devyn wanted this and Koi wanted it for her. Fumie was not going to let Shemar ruin a night that Koi had jumped
through hoops in hell to get to. She could only hope that Shemar would get angry, smack her and storm out; although everyone in the room knew that was
a lot to hope for in any of this. Shemar - 20-6-2016 at 04:28 AM
Shock was the only word that could register with Shemar, his anger muted by the feeling. Fumie was talking to him, huh. His bold, bitch "baby mama"
was talking to him with disrespect that he hadn't heard out of her mouth out of her mouth in awhile. Not since the night Koi's slut had
disrespected him in his own house and he had to get Fumie right because she thought she could too. But here it was again. Blatant disregard for
anything he'd fucking said during their entire conversation. No goddamn authority for the nigga that kept her dressed, eating and living. NONE. And
she stood there, calm as fuck while she dished it out.
I hate you...
"Really? Do you?" He muttered, nodding at her as she unloaded on him, telling him how she'd hated him for the longest time and she only really gave a
fuck because she wanted to do what "looked right". Like how Shemar had wanted to fucking do what "looked right" when he wanted to marry her...and his
father told him to count his losses, take care of the kid she had and let her go. But his fucking mother...his fucking "do what's right" mother. She
agreed with him. She pushed him to marry Fumie. And he was standing here, now, with the woman he went against his father for...and she hated
him. Well...that sound about the fuck right.
His eyes were unblinking as they bore into his wife of nearly twenty years. He listened to her words. More hate. More unhappiness. He heard that, she
hadn't been the only unhappy motherfucker in this shit. Shemar found his "happiness" in other places, in other beds. She found hers in spoiling the
shit out of their children. But he made it work. He provided for them, paid for their expensive as school, bought them whatever they fucking
needed...shit, wanted! He did his fucking part. But her? What had she done? Bitched about women that he ran to, even though it kept the peace between
them. Fought with him, pushed his anger when all she had to do was accept the man she married and move the fuck on. Caused strife between he and the
kids because she never, NEVER took his goddamn side! And now this?! A "Waiting to Exhale" moment in their living room because he put his foot down and
refused to side with another one of her pussy-ass, mother driven whims?
"Lemme tell you som-..." Shemar growled as he tried to interrupt her, her spill going on much longer than it should have considering his hand hadn't
reached around his equally disrespectful son, slapped the shit out of Fumie's reckless mouth and ended this fucking tirade. But she couldn't be
stopped, she was on a goddamn roll now. Especially as she got bold enough to move Koi out of the way and...
Now I want a divorce.
Shemar blinked...and blinked again as a silence fell over the room. He could literally hear Koi stop breathing. And to be honest, Shemar had too.
Because those words, he hadn't heard in a long damn time.
"You...what?" Shemar paused again, his eyes narrowing as he looked down at Fumie, her face looking right back into his like a child waiting to be
excused. Like she wanted his final words so she could get back to her goddamn life like she hadn't just asked her husband for a goddamned divorce.
But...she'd done this before. Yeah, last time with a lot more yelling and crying...and shit, emotion period. But this wasn't new...and just like the
other times...it wasn't fucking happening.
"This again? Really?" A forced chuckle left lips as he took a step closer to his wife, his smirk falling into place.
"You leaving me, Fumie?" His hands sunk into his pockets, his eyes staring into hers.
"Like you left the time before that? Oh yeah...and the time before that?" He smiled fully as he laughed in her face, his eyes roaming from her feet to
her face. Sizing her up. Challenging her.
"No...you're not, baby." Fumie - 20-6-2016 at 08:29 AM
You could have heard a pin drop onto the plush carpet of their living room as a thick silence settled between them. For the first time in...Fumie
didn't know how long, Shemar was speechless. He was shocked and it was all in response to four little words. I want a divorce. She let the
silence linger as Shemar tried to wrap his head around a phrase she had never thrown around lightly, but had obviously never amounted to much. She
could see the gears turning, trying to figure out how serious she was about all this. She would tell him if he asked.
And ask he did, his eyes narrowing as he finally spoke. You...what? was it any question why she would want a divorce from a man who had done
nothing but abuse and torture she and her children since he decided they meant nothing to him? Every time he spoke about his family it was to
complain. He should have been the one asking for this years ago if they made him so miserable. "I want a divorce, Shemar-," she couldn't help the
excitement in her tone. Or the smile she could not stop her lips from making. She wanted a divorce.
"I want to be free of you. I want my kids to be free of you. I want to move out of this nightmare ridden house and make a home somewhere
else. Somewhere away from you. And I want you to be just as happy as I am right now at the sheer thought of being away from you." She
was still smiling, her realization of freedom echoing in her words. She might have thought about how her words cut when she said them; how if Shemar
had a heart that this might hurt him...but he had proven long ago that he didn't so...why? They were at a point in their marriage where they could be
blunt with one another. The end.
Yes. This again. Really. Fumie nodded after his questions. Yes. She was leaving him. No. Not like any other time. It was her turn to chuckle
as he told her she wasn't leaving. Maybe he wasn't getting it, but they were no longer playing the roles they had been in this loveless marriage. She
was different today. New. And she was not asking for his permission. She would tell him simply.
"I am finished with you, Shemar." Shemar - 20-6-2016 at 04:58 PM
And if hearing it one time wasn't enough, Fumie had the nerve to repeat it again...as if he didn't comprehend her the first time. No, he heard her.
Shemar heard "I want a divorce" loud and fucking clear. The question really was "what the fuck did any of those words mean to him?", in which the
answer was pretty clear. Not a goddamned thing. Because he knew she was bluffing. Like she'd done time and time before, she was asking for
something that she didn't know the weight of. And like he'd done time and time before, he'd remind her ignorant ass of what it really meant to be
without him and they could move on with their fucking night. It got like that sometimes...when she started thinking she was better than what Shemar
was giving and she started catching amnesia. And suprisingly, Shemar was reasonably patient with her bullshit. Not because he gave a fuck about her
feelings...especially since the shits weren't valid. No, because it felt satisfying as hell to see her stop acting stupid and come back to Daddy.
Because nothing was better than Daddy...and she'd see that this time, just like she'd done the other hundred times she "swore" she was out.
Free of him? That got a valid laugh. The fuck did she think he was? Chlamydia? He was her husband. The father of her goddamn kids. She couldn't be
free of him...especially not when he was footing the bill on ninety percent of the shit she called her LIFE. The thought was hilarious, so much that
it didn't take Shemar nearly as much effort to laugh. How the hell did she think any of this went? She wanted her and the kids away from him? Fuck
that. He was legally obligated to those fuckers and he had the goddamned receipts to prove it. Not that he gave a fuck whether they stayed or
left...but if they did, they'd do it with his last name. And that made him fucking entitled. And leaving his house? And go where?!
"You really don't fucking get it do you, baby?" He spoke through his chuckle, batting off Koi's hand that was hovering closer to his shoulder.
"Free of me? How you gone be free of someone that owns you? I own you. The kids, the car, the little house you think you gone run off to when
you 'leave me'...yeah, that fly ass dress you got on RIGHT now! All of it. MINE!" He inhaled deeply and sighed, his finger stroking at her cheek as
she spoke again, stress still free from her voice. Her eyes still connecting with his...that annoying fucking smile on her face widening...
I am finished with you...
"Finished?" He asked, his voice quiet as silence fell between them again. His fingertips touched her skin, touching her jawline...tracing the side of
her neck.
"You..." He began, teeth clenching as his hand closed around her neck, tightening as he pulled her closer, thumb pressing against her windpipe...
"...will NEVER be finished with me. NEVER." He shook her roughly as her hands came to his, pulling at his tightening grip.
"Do you HEAR ME? You hear me WIFEY?" Fumie - 20-6-2016 at 05:54 PM
She wasn't the one that wasn't getting it. Just like there was nothing he could say or do about Koi going to prom, there was nothing he could say or
do about their impending divorce. She wasn't staying and regardless of what he thought, she would never come back to him. It was over and she could
feel it. She could taste the freedom Shemar was so sure he wouldn't give her...but again, she wasn't asking his permission. So she let him speak,
rambling on about how he owned her. He owned her and everything else his money had touched over the years. He was a little boy laying claim to all of
his toys, but Fumie and her kids weren't going to be his puppets any longer.
That's why it felt even more satisfying to let him know that the way she'd "asked" for the divorce was a nicety. A pleasantry that she had tried to
allot him as a force of habit. Speak softly, don't rile him up. She'd misspoken. She was not requesting a divorce. She demanded it. She was finished
with him. And even with his finger stroking the skin of her face, she knew that the longer she gave that information to sink in for him, the angrier
he became. Especially as his fingers slipped to her throat, his grip taunt for the moment. You... There he was. The monster had come out to
play. This was usually when she backed down. Apologized for stepping out of place, for speaking out of turn. Usually.
"Koi don't-," she saw him move out of the corner of her eye and she wanted more than anything for him to leave them to this. She didn't want him
seeing what he'd only heard before...or seen the aftermath of. Shemar was yelling now and his grip had tightened, drawing her closer to him as he made
his point. You will NEVER be finished with me. She yelped a bit as he shook her and her hands reached for the one around her neck. Her eyes
began to water as he choked her she knew her words were as limited as her air supply.
"You can't...bully your way...this time...-," his grip only got tighter as she gave her all to finish. She wasn't backing down. She wasn't giving
in.
"Let go...or do it." Koi - 20-6-2016 at 06:24 PM
It'd been a long time for Koi...a long time since he'd been the way he was as he watched his parents spar. He was stuck. Stuck and nearly
trembling as he stood there, not moving...even though his brain had told him to move the second he heard his father's voice growing colder, that sick
ass grin on his face...the one he wore before the screaming started. Before the fist started meeting skin. The voice that made his mother always send
them away when she heard it...send them away in just enough time to take the punches, to back down to the fucking asshole that his father became.
Shit, the asshole that he WAS. But this time? Tonight? She wasn't sending them away...and she wasn't backing down. She may not have known that Eri was
there, but she knew Koi was. She knew he was standing there, stuck to the fucking floor, his grab at his father's shoulder a stupid attempt to keep
the peace, to stop what he knew was starting between them from happening. But there was no stopping it. Not now. Not when his moms wasn't backing
down...
Koi's eyes widened, watching his father's hand touch his mother's skin. He couldn't help but flinch as he held his breath, waiting for what that
warning sign would bring, especially with the way his mother was talking. Saying things like "move out" and... "finished with you". Finished with
you.
"Mommy..." Koi whispered, his breath quickening. He didn't know what calling her was going to do. Warn her? For what? She knew what she was saying and
in truth, if Koi wasn't so fucking on alert, he would've been happy she said it. Because this wasn't like the other times. This wasn't like the times
she'd cried and swore and threatened and screamed. This wasn't the same thing. And if Koi knew it, he knew his father knew it. And if his father knew
it...
Shit. Koi heard the yelp that escaped from his mother's lips, her hand coming up as he moved without even knowing he had. Don't!? Don't
what?! Don't try to get his father's tightening hand from around his mother's neck? Don't wrestle her away from him as he shook her so fucking hard,
Koi was surprised she wasn't blacking out?!
"Pops! No!" Koi reached out for his father's shoulder again, firmer...more sure as he tried to reach around him and pull his hands away from his
mother's neck.
"Don't do this! C'mon Pops! NO!" He could barely hear his mother's protest now, maybe because his heart was pounding so loudly in his ears. Maybe
because his mother's voice was fading, the air in her lungs wasted on words that goaded his father's violence on instead of stopping it. Maybe because
the screams that were the loudest weren't his mother's...or Koi's....
"NO!!!! DADDY STOP! DADDY!" Koi turned in the direction of her voice, her tear streaked face coming into view as her hands pulled at their
father's, her curls a blur as she wrestled with their father's vicelike grip on their mother's neck, tears running down her face as she stared at
their mother gasping for air...
Fumie - 20-6-2016 at 07:00 PM
Koi was begging for her. He was doing what she usually did in these situations and he was trying to fix. His pleas fell on deaf ears though and Fumie
knew it was only a matter of time before she blacked out from a lack of air. As sure as she knew this would happen she could guarantee that when she
did that Shemar would lose interest and huff off like the runner up for homecoming queen. He would still get served with divorce papers and she would
still be leaving him. Koi just need to let this run its course. So she told him no. She knew her baby. She loved him and he loved her just the same
despite her shortcomings. Fumie knew as soon as he shifted what he was going to try to do, but he had to let it lie.
He wouldn't of course, but she had to try. She watched as Koi pulled at his father, a desperate and futile attempt to get him off of her. She wanted
to tell him again to stop, but she couldn't get the words out. Her vision was fading, her eyes drooping and all she could really hear was Koi's
yelling and the screams...screams far too high to be coming from...NO. Instantly a second wind took her and Fumie pulled as hard as she could
away from Shemar. It was Eri.
She shouldn't have been here. She wasn't supposed to see this! She tried again, hoping in vain that hearing his little girl would stop him from
traumatizing her any further than he already had. Of course not. His grip grew even tighter as he shook her again and Eri actually came into view.
Shemar, PLEASE! Her eyes were the only things that could do any talking at that point, but she knew he could see it. She gave. She was done.
She was willing to say whatever he wanted if he didn't do this in front of their daughter. And things only grew graver as Eri began pulling at her
father as best her tiny body could.
A sob gave way to a gasp as Fumie's thoughts became frantic. She could break his hold. Zori had taught her that and she would have been able to break
it, but Eri was in the way and would catch an elbow to the face if she tried it. She was fading too fast to think. She should have never started this
with Eri and Koi home. She should have MADE THEM leave.
Now it was too late. Shemar - 21-6-2016 at 05:27 PM
"Shut the fuck up!" Shemar's voice boomed over the screams in the room, a direct fucking order. All this fucking commotion. All the noise. And why?
Because Fumie didn't know when to quit! After weeks of not giving a fuck, she'd turned into the same mouthy, over confident bitch she'd let herself
turn into before Shemar got in that ass and quieted her back up. But no, here she was again...and like the confident bitch she thought she was, she
was being choked up like one, too. She wasn't going to put up a fight? Good. The quicker she gave up the fucking ghost, the quicker they could be done
with this shit. Because it never should've come to this in the first place!
"Back the fuck down Koi. This ain't your business so back the fuck DOWN!" He growled through his teeth, Koi's hands still pulling at his arms. But
Shemar's grip only got tighter, his elbow lashing out against another set of hands, a higher voice breaking through Koi's pleas for him to let Fumie
go, let her breathe...let her carry on with the fucking ridiculousness that got them where they were in the first place. Shemar's hand around her
throat, wrinkling one of his best Givenchy suits.
Fingernails pierced the skin of his hand as a sob escaped Fumie. Oh, now she fucking wanted to cry? All this shit was her fault and NOW she wanted to
feel bad about it? Fuck her tears.
"I just told you to...what the fuck!". His free hand flew back as new, intense pain seared through the wrist of the hand that held Fumie's neck. An
injured howl escaped him as his hand connected with skin.
"You fucking BIT ME!" He yelled, letting Fumie go and turning on his assailant. He stared down at her, his chest heaving as he looked from her tear
streaked face to where she'd broken the skin on his wrist. His nose flared and his fist clenched, eyes refusing to break their glare. It was
Eri. She was curled up against the wall, her hands holding her already swelling cheek from where he'd hit her. She trembled as she stared angrily
right back up at him.
"YOU MOTHER FUCKING LITTLE RETARD! YOU BIT ME?!" Fumie - 22-6-2016 at 02:50 AM
So much was happening. It was the nightmare she'd had so many times before, only this time it was actually happening. She didn't want Koi to save her.
She most certainly didn't want Eri anywhere near this. But here they all were; fighting their tormenter as a family. And it was just as fucked up as
she'd always known it would be. She had to admit to herself that it had only ever been a matter of time. She knew with how volatile Shemar had always
been, it was only a matter of time before the shit hit the fan and her kids couldn't ignore the problem she'd allowed any longer. If she wasn't so
close to losing consciousness she might have blamed herself, but she couldn't.
She could feel her pull at his hands weakening as she nodded. She tried to open her eyes again to no avail. She couldn't do this, not now. Not when
she didn't know what Shemar would do to Eri. To Koi. She couldn't go...free? The air seemed to burn as it entered her lungs after Shemar released the
death grip he'd had on her throat. She hadn't known it, but he had been the only thing holding her upright. Fumie collapsed, coughing as she tried to
breathe again and figure out what just happened; why he'd let go. She needed to focus. She couldn't tell if things had gone eerily quiet or if her
mind was too busy receiving air again to process anything else. Where were Koi and Eri?
Fumie blinked, trying to bring things back into focus as she peeled herself off the ground. She looked for Eri first, her eyes searching for her
baby's mess of curls in all of this chaos and it didn't take too long to find her against a nearby wall. She was crying, her eyes staring defiantly
back at the man who'd had a hand in making her. It only took Fumie a matter of seconds to register what really mattered. Eri was hurt.
YOU MOTHER FUCKING LITTLE RETARD... No. Fumie scrambled toward Eri, Shemar's words doing enough to fuel her to stand again as she took Eri
easily into her arms and out of the living room. She swept into the kitchen, her feet padding across the cool linoleum of the floor before she stopped
placing Eri down at the base of the stairs. Fumie knew she needed to get back fast as the last thing she heard before leaving the living room had been
the unmistakable smack of a fist hitting bare skin and the only person left in the living room with that monster was her son.
"Eri, baby look at me. Look-," She tried to calm herself for Eri. She was trying to comfort her in the little ways she could in this mess of a
situation. A hand smoothed over her daughter's curls as she got Eri to focus. "Go upstairs and call for help, then hide. Okay? I have to go back and
get your brother. Call for help and hide."
She couldn't wait to see if Eri comprehended or even moved as she turned to go back to battle with the man who had thrown her 10 year old against a
wall and was doing God knew what to her son. Her hand took a butcher knife from the knife block on the counter and she ran back to her son. She
stopped in the entryway, shocked as she watched Shemar raise a fist to her son and actually hit him.
"SHEMAR STOP!" She knew that wasn't enough. Why was she yelling at him? Fumie entered the living room picking up a nearby vase and hurled it at the
wall. She would have given anything to throw it at Shemar, but she couldn't risk it hitting Koi. The shattering glass seemed to get Shemar's
attention.
"You-," she pointed at him with the tip of the knife she was holding. A silent promise to do what was necessary if he chose incorrectly. "Need to get
the FUCK away from my son and get the fuck out of this house!" Koi - 23-6-2016 at 06:40 PM
Koi froze. He felt his father snatch away from his grasp and recoil in pain. He heard his father's words, the anger and venom in his voice as he
cradled his injured hand and realized that he'd been bitten. He even heard his mother's body thud to the floor as his dad released the choking hold he
had on her from the shock. But the only thing Koi could see was his sister. His fucking kid sister. He saw her body hit the floor. He saw the pain and
fear in her eyes as she backed herself against the wall, her face already swelling where the nigga who was supposed to protect her from hat shit had
hit her. Their fucking father. The fucking dad hit her. He fucking...HIT her. It felt like Koi's thoughts weren't processing correctly.
Because there was no way that his father, the man who had never lived up to his title, but had never touched (much less paid any real attention to)
his only daughter, had laid his goddamn hands on her. He couldn't have...
But he had. He'd terrorized her, ignored her, and denied her the only FUCKING thing she'd ever wanted...her daddy. A father who loved and
doted on his daughter like any normal goddamn father would've, but Shemar Kidd was anything but normal. He was fucked up. He was toxic and he was the
fucking monster that put his GODDAMNED hands on Koi's little sister. His baby...his heart.
Eri... Koi barely registered his mother moving towards Eri, grabbing her and pulling her into the kitchen. Hell, he barely registered that he
was on his feet and moving towards his father, his fists clenched. His jaw tight. His cheeks burning with anger, boiling with fury.
"And what the fuck are you look-" His father's words were cut short as Koi's balled fist struck him, his head jerking violently to the side. Before he
could get another word out, Koi's fist struck again, catching his cheek, making him stumble backwards. Shemar hadn't reacted yet, probably because he
was too shocked that his lip was bleeding. He moved out of the way quickly, missing Koi's next punch by an inch.
"YOU FUCKING, CRAZY..." Without further hesitation, Shemar lunched forward, his body ramming Koi's as another punch caught his midsection. They
tussled, Koi's hands punching out as Shemar tried to keep them from connecting with their targets.
"So you want to hit a nigga, huh?" Shemar spat as he held Koi's arms down with one hand. "You wanna be a grown ass motherfucker and hit a nigga?"
Shemar's first punch hit hard, jerking Koi's head backwards. The two that followed were just like the first. Koi's ears rang as he braced for the next
punch, his brain telling him that maybe, just maybe he deserved this. Maybe if it wasn't for the goddamned prom and the fucking mess he'd made at
school...and the fucked up shit he did to Devyn...maybe, none of this would be happening. Eri wouldn't be hurt. His mother wouldn't have had to defend
him...none of it would've happened.
Shattering glass brought Koi back. Not another punch to the face. But a shattered vase. And his mother's voice...Fumie - 23-6-2016 at 07:08 PM
"GET OUT!" Fumie was done with the drama and the chaos that had left both of her children hurt and this family in even more shambles if that was
possible. She was done talking to him. She was done trying to convince him of anything. For the umteenth time that night Fumie found herself thinking
how done she was with her ex-husband, but this was the first time she couldn't smile about it. She was prepared to kill him if that was what it took,
but he was leaving this house. Hell, she was actually resisting the urge to gut him like a fucking fish on GP alone.
All Fumie could think about were her children. Eri was surely going to need more therapy than any 10 year old should and Koi...Koi was already so
lost. And she knew how hard he felt his emotions. This insanity was enough to break him and she'd never meant to bring him to that point. All she
could pray was that they'd be able to get through this together. He would obviously be furious with her now. With what she'd started here and with
what happened to Eri as a result. She hated herself for it so it was easy to believe he hated her too.
But that was neither here nor there as her threat lingered in the air between she and Shemar. The murder in her eyes was mirrored in his as he did
what she assumed was weighing his options. Part of her hoped he came at her so she had a defense for running this blade through his throat. The other
half of her didn't want to fight. She wanted to go to Koi and make sure he was okay...whatever that meant. She waited, the adrenaline in her making
her feel as if she could have held this stalemate for years to come. Shemar was leaving.
She would not yield. Shemar - 24-6-2016 at 04:44 AM
Shemar spat blood. His lip was definitely busted. His jaw was bruised and other shit on him that had already taken a battering from his years on the
court screamed out in pain as he stood, leaving where he'd been hovering over Koi...punching the living shit out of him. Shards of glass were still
tinkering to the floor from where Fumie's crazy ass had thrown their expensive Lalique vase at the wall. Thankfully, she didn't have the aim or the
arm strength to hit him! Because that would've been a whole 'notha...
Did this bitch have a knife?
...need to get the fuck away from my son and get the FUCK out of this house!"
Why the FUCK was she so worked up? And he could get out of where? This house? HIS house? The house HIS NBA career paid for? The house HIS money paid
the bills in? Oh, no. He wouldn't be leaving HIS house anytime soon. She, on the other hand, could take HER ass out of the home that he LET her live
in. Gladly. Especially the way she was holding that knife...and her son and daughter had just attacked him. Hell, she could take them too.
"Oh...this house?" He said smartly, rolling the shoulder that he'd used to knock Koi to the floor. "Now why the hell...would I leave MY OWN home?"
"Yeah..." Shemar adjusted his tie, righting it from the short "ass beat" he'd just given to his son. One he was DEFINITELY due for...and he knew it,
his stupid ass barely able to get up off the damn floor.
"...you already know that's not happening...unless you got some way of removing me, wifey."Fumie - 24-6-2016 at 08:48 AM
He spoke, taunting her by calling this God-forsaken place a home and asking why he should leave. Fumie wondered if he really didn't see her reason for
him telling her to go. She knew his past, she'd met his father, but surely he could understand how putting his hands on her children would get him put
out. He'd known the rules from the beginning. She was willing to take whatever he threw at her. The tantrums, the early mornings, the irregular mood
swings that usually turned to violence. She could handle that. She'd been dealing with Shemar for almost 20 years and she'd almost come to terms with
this being her life. All she had ever asked of their situation was not to involve her children.
Well that was obviously done and so was she. She wasn't talking to him anymore. He needed to leave and none of his goading was going to change that.
Tonight Shemar was meeting his match...and maybe even his maker if he didn't drop the bullshit. Nobody wanted him here. Wasn't it obvious? All that
he'd done tonight was UNFORGIVABLE and there was nothing left for him here. Still, somehow, he wasn't understanding that his options did not include
staying or going. They had made it to him walking out or being put into a bag and carried.
She stepped further into the living room, her grip tight on the knife as her eyes locked with his in silent challenge. She stopped just short of his
reach. He would go. And he would figure that shit out for himself soon enough. Fumie was finished with words. Shemar - 24-6-2016 at 01:55 PM
"Did you hear what the fuck I just said?" The smirk on Shemar's face faded into an intimidating sneer, his eyes shifting from Fumie's face to the
kitchen knife in her clenched fist. Her expression was unreadable, her eyes unblinking as her stare refused to waiver. What the hell did she think she
was really going to do? Stab him? Right. Fumie? Stab him? She'd have to have the balls for that. And despite the show she was putting on, she didn't
have them. She never had. That was the reason why it was easier to keep the bitch. She didn't fight back. And now, all of a sudden...she did? Shemar
didn't believe it and he wasn't convinced.
"And what the hell do you think you're gonna do with that knife?" He shook his head, chuckling as he watched her shift on her feet.
"Because I know you're not thinking of cutting me...because you won't." Shemar couldn't help but roll his eyes at the show she thought she was putting
on. This little dramatic bit. The fuck did she think she was? Wonder Woman? With her Knife of Truth or some shit? Fuck her. She was just Fumie
Hamada-Kidd, the stupid that was smart enough to trap him into this pointless marriage and stayed put for almost twenty years because even in her
stupidity, she fucking knew better. Shemar liked that Fumie better...
"You're not that kind of woman, baby" He laughed again, rubbing his beard as he continued to stare at her.
"You're not a fighter. You're not brave...you ain't shit, wifey. And that's why you..." His words stopped as Fumie moved, stepping further into the
living room, his eyes following her as she walked towards him, her grip tighter on the knife. He felt himself take a step back before he could catch
himself, his eyes narrowing at Fumie...something flashing in her eyes that he was sure he'd never seen there before.
"And you can back the fuck up...because you ain't about that fucking life, Fumie." Fumie - 24-6-2016 at 05:29 PM
Shemar knew everything didn't he? There was a time when she genuinely thought that. Where she believed whatever he said and was sure he shit gold. He
had been perfect for her once. Never flawless but perfectly flawed just for her. He was impulsive and passionate and hilariously inappropriate in a
way that her 16 year old self couldn't get enough of. He hadn't changed. In 20 years he hadn't changed...but she had. She grew up. She wasn't a little
girl anymore, awestruck by his wit and charm. She was a grown woman, disgusted by him as a whole. She wouldn't do it anymore.
...because you won't. He had no idea what she would or wouldn't do. He didn't know her anymore. Shemar was living in the past by himself and
all of this chaos he'd created was a result of learning that. He was all by himself. Alone. Especially now as the son they'd made together in love so
long ago laid on the floor battered and bloody at the hands of his father. Fumie didn't break eye contact as he laughed at her, telling her what kind
of woman she was. He had no idea what kind of woman she was. He didn't know her anymore.
You're not a fighter. You're not brave...you ain't shit. He was right; but that was the old Fumie. The new Fumie was stepping into the living
room, rage still in her eyes and knife still in her hand. Fuck him. He thought he knew how this would go? He thought he was still calling the shots?
He thought she wouldn't do it?
"Try me."Shemar - 25-6-2016 at 07:47 AM
Try me...
A challenge? Really? And she thought Shemar wasn't about to answer that with action? Oh, Fumie was on one. She was completely on one. And for what?
The fact that Shemar had just handled the family that he should've been putting in place a long time ago? But for her bullshit, he never had. All her
protecting and coddling led to this. Shemar having to take the reins and guide shit to "right". Her stupid decisions led to them being right where
they were. She couldn't blame anyone but herself. Oh, but she did. She blamed Shemar. He could see it in that crazy fucking look in her eyes that she
did. No, being a better mother and wife, knowing when to shut the hell up and do what the fuck your husband was telling you and knowing how to
discipline your bad ass kids was ALL her.
None of this shit was funny and honestly? Shemar was tired of playing games with her. What she was going to do was put the knife down, let Shemar
remind her what happens to a loud ass wifey that gets too big for her La Perla panties, and let him go on with his fucking night.
"Try you? Fuck...gladly." Shemar moved to step closer to where Fumie stood, her hand still at the ready, a menacing smile plastered on his
face...until Fumie's hand welding the knife whipped out, slicing the fabric of the thigh of his pants.
"You fucking CRAZY BITCH!" He stumbled back, further than he'd been before, his face stricken as he looked at the clean rip in his suit pants.
"You FUCKING...what the fuck!" His fingers roamed the opening in his pants, checking to see if the knife had gone deeper than just a cut to his pants.
Fumie - 25-6-2016 at 09:10 AM
She knew he would do it. Fumie knew that if she challenged him Shemar would accept and he would try her. She was supposed to be ending this. She was
supposed to be telling him to go and not come back. So why was she adding fuel to an already raging fire, allowing her pettiness to override her
rationality. She wanted to hurt him. The way he'd hurt Eri, how he'd hurt Koi. She was dying to drive the knife in her hand through his chest to hilt
then pull it out and start again. She shouldn't have tested him, but it was out now and she didn't regret it. Especially not as he stepped forward,
the look on his face telling her follow through was not an option. That was just fine with her.
Without even thinking Fumie lashed out, tightening her grip and slicing just a bit more than the air in front of her. She could feel her chest rise
and fall as he stumbled back, her breath coming quickly in the excitement of the moment. She watched as Shemar examined himself, making sure she
hadn't cut more that the pants of his precious suit. He could be sure if he stayed that Fumie was prepared to go full Lorena Bobbitt on his ass. But
she shouldn't...
Her head cocked slowly to the side, an eyebrow raising in a silent question. Did he really want to see crazy?
"Go." Shemar - 25-6-2016 at 10:24 AM
There was no blood, no reall injury...but it wasn't taking Captain Fucking Obvious to tell Shemar what he needed to do. Hell, he didn't even need to
words from Fumie's mouth, simple and oddly calm as she stared at him, her head tilted to the side as if to say "I did it once, I'll do it again".
Crazy bitch.
Go. Gladly. She honestly didn't have to tell him twice. Because from what Shemar had seen, there was no talking to her anyway. She was
fucking gone. His wifey that knew her place and knew when to back the fuck down had fled the building and in her place was the crazy bitch welding the
knife that looked like it wanted to take another "stab" at ending Shemar's life. Something told him that that first swipe was a "warning" and the rest
wouldn't be. He didn't really want to test that theory.
"Fuck you, Fumie." He muttered, grabbing his shades from the side table where he'd placed them.
"And don't fucking think that this is a 'win' for you, bitch." With that, he skirted around her, grabbed his keys off of the side table near the front
door, lowkey praying that she didn't see the quickening in his step as he left.
