I Should Be Part 2

[VirgosAngel19]

“Look T, I don’t feel like going to that damn party.” said Cheri pacing back and forth in her living room.

“Come on Cheri, you aint got s*** else to do, might as well get out the house and have you some fun. I know you don’t wanna get stuck in the house with that fool all night.” said Trinity trying her best to get Cheri to come to yet another party.

“You’re right I don’t want to be at home alone with him. But technically I won’t be.”

“What do you mean?”

“The guys are coming back over tonight.”

“For real, well shoot forget the party. If Dru’s gonna be here I can sho nuff skip out on it.”

“You a trip you know that right.”

“Whatever, hey is Nokio as sexy in person as he is on TV?”

“Better.”

“Ooh, now you know I’mma have to stay here tonight.”

“Well you know…” started Cheri when Dawand walked in.

“Hey Ree, hey T.” mumbled Dawand.

“Hey Dawand.” mumbled Trinity. She couldn’t stand Dawand, she thought he was some pretty boy who thought he could get whatever he wanted. She hated how he treated Cheri and she hated how he thought he was the s***.

“What are you doing here?” asked Dawand as he checked his mail. He couldn’t stand Trinity.

“Why?” asked Trinity copping an attitude.

“Cause I like to know why anybody is at my house.”

“I do believe Cheri lives here too. And anyway I’m not here to see you so don’t worry about it.”

“Cheri, spray some air freshener in here, I smell stank attitude.” said Dawand making a disguted face as he looked up at Trinity from the letter he was reading.

“No he didn’t.” said Trinity standing up.

“T, calm down. And Dawand, don’t start with her.” said Cheri trying to stop herself from laughing.

“Don’t tell me to calm down. You need to check you n**** before I kick him in his ass, or whatever the f*** he calls it.” said Trinity sitting back down.

“T make sure you brush off my couch after you leave. You shed, and it took me an hour to clean up after you the last time you were here.” said Dawand heading upstairs.

“I will only if you promise not brush your teeth in dog s***.” shouted Trinity, “And you wonder why I don’t like to hang out over here.”

“It’s aight girl. I guess they should be over here in about another hour.” said Cheri checking her watch.

“You just dying to see Sisqo again huh?” said Trinity her mood changing slightly.

“Shh, but yeah actually I am. Hopefully today we can talk a little more.” said Cheri.

“Girl, let me tell you something. You know Shatarra right?”

“Yeah.” said Cheri sitting down next to Trinity, she loved it when her girl had some juicy news about their “associates”.

“Well I heard…” started Trinity.

“d*mmit Cheri, how many times do I have to tell you? Hang my shirts up after you iron them. Damn! You act so simple sometimes.” said Dawand cutting Trinity off.

“If you don’t like the way I do things, do it your damn self next time.” said Cheri mad that he cut Trinity off.

“You know what I will since you act like you can’t put a damn crease in my pants.” said Dawand as he walked back upstairs.

“Damn Flo.” said Trinity shaking her head.

“Flo?” asked Cheri looking confused.

“Yeah, you know Florence from the Jeffersons’. Especially seein as how he got you ironing his clothes and s***.” said Trinity laughing.

“Oh you wanna be funny huh? I got you. But damn that n**** gets on my nerves. I did one little favor for him by ironing his clothes for him. And look at how he acts. I should’ve burned his s*** seeing as how he wanna act all crazy and s***.” said Cheri shaking her head.

“See, if he would’ve talked to me like that I would’ve stuck the damn iron up his ass and told him to try to iron his s*** that way.” said Trinity.

“You stupid.” laughed Cheri.

“But anyway back to Shatarra, you know I heard she had tendencies.” said Trinity shaking her head.

“What?! Not Ms. Ho.” said Cheri.

“Yes girl. You know she been hanging around Bobbyette, who everybody know is known for that.”

“Yeah but Tarra is known for the amount of n****s she slept with.”

“I know, but apparently her, Bobbyette, and a couple of other females were having this get together when they decided to play truth or dare.”

“Uh-huh.”

“Well Bobbyette dared Tarra to let her eat her out.”

“What?!”

“Yup, and guess what?”

“No!”

“Yes!”

[VirgosAngel19]

“Ewwwwwww!!”

“I know.”

“Oh how sick?!”

“I know and it seems that ever since that day, Tarra has been showing tendencies.”

“Well.”

“I know.”

“Ree, the guys are gonna be here in a minute, could you please put your buddy on leash and tie her to the tree outside.” said Dawand walking into the living room.

“Ree, you mind telling JJ that if he could shut his mouth everything could be, DYNOMITE!!!” said Trinity doing that signature move.

Cheri just responded by laughing her butt off. She loved to see the two of them go at it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about another hour, the guys finally decided to show up.

“Ree, get the door.” said Dawand watching TV trying his best to tune her and Trinity out.

“n**** I aint Mr. Belvedere, get the door your damn self.” said Cheri cutting of her sentence in the middle of their conversation.

“Girl, that use to be my show.” said Trinity laughing.

“I know right, hey what about ‘Small Wonders’.” said Cheri.

“Yeah.” agreed Trinity as her and Cheri started going over old TV shows that they use to love to watch.

“And ‘Out of This World’.”

“Ooh, ‘Punky Brewster’.”

“Hell yeah!” laughed Trinity.

Damn I’m glad my n****s are here, thought Dawand as he opened their door.

“Hey what’s up!” said Rufus.

“Nothing much man, just hanging.” said Dawand giving him a pound.

“I feel ya.” said James coming in behind Rufus.

“Hey Cheri.” said Larry as they all walked into the living room.

“Hey Larry.” said Cheri standing to hug him.

“Larry?” whispered Trinity as she walked up behind her.

“Yeah, they told me I could call them by their first names.” said Cheri.

“Oh, well, you think you could introduce a sista.” said Trinity eying Tamir.

“In a minute, let me finish saying hello first.” said Cheri turning around to Mark.

She and Mark had made eye contact ever since he had walked in.

“Hey Mark.” said Cheri holding out her arms.

“Hey Cheri.” said Mark giving her a hug. She had given them all hugs but she made sure that Mark got the longest and hardest. Dawand didn’t think too much of the hug because they were his closest friends. But the other guys knew that Mark was feeling something for Cheri. After all he had described to them that it might have been love at first sight. But they warned him not to mess with Cheri.

“Hey you guys.” said Trinity finally saying something after waiting for Cheri to introduce her.

“Hey.” said the guys. Tamir began to eye her up and down, as well as she.

“Oh, you guys this is Trinity, my best friend.” said Cheri backing away but still looking at Mark.

“Trinity?” said Tamir.

“Yeah.” said Trinity as the locked eyes.

“Nice name.”

“Thank you.”

“Uh oh.” said James quietly to Rufus.

“I know, they got that look.” said Rufus.

“Yo, Tamir, watch out. She bites.” said Dawand.

“Only you.” said Trinity wickedly.

“Whoa, can we say tension.” chuckled Mark before he looked at Cheri.

“Why don’t you guys sit down?” asked Cheri. As everyone sat down, she made her way next to Mark. She was happy there until Dawand came and sat down on the other side of her.

“So Trinity, how long have you and Cheri been friends?” asked Tamir making sure she sat next to him.

“I don’t know, it’s been a while. I met her in the second grade.” said Trinity looking at Cheri to confirm her information. Cheri simply nodded her head in agreement.

“I asked Cheri to cook tonight but she said she was tired. So I guess you guys will have to wait another night for her good cooking.” said Dawand wrapping his throwing his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer.

“That’s aight, maybe we can test it out soon.” said Mark as he looked at her.

“I’ll try to cook for you guys the next time you come over.” said Cheri.

“Well, I hope so ma. The way he brags about the way you cook you’d think you were a chef or something.” said James.

“I’m not that good.” said Cheri.

“Aww, come on baby, you’re good enough.” said Dawand putting on another show.

“Oh please.” mumbled Trinity, she knew what he was doing.

“Is something wrong?” asked Tamir.

[VirgosAngel19]

“Oh no.” said Trinity staring at Dawand.

“Hey baby, I’m thirsty, can you get me something to drink?” asked Dawand as he gave her a baby face.

“Sure, anybody else want something?” asked Cheri as she stood up she intentionally brushed Marks’ hand.

“No thanks.” was the reply from everyone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While standing in the kitchen with her back to the door, Cheri began to take a glass in fill it with ice cubes. Just then Mark quietly walked in.

“Hey.” said Mark.

“Oh hi.” said Cheri, “I thought you said you didn’t want anything.”

“Oh, I changed my mind.” said Mark walking over to the counter she was standing at.

“Did you want something to drink” she asked as she handed him a glass.

“Yeah thanks.” he said as he paused for a moment, “I noticed something about you.”

“What?”

“You’re kinda thoughtful.” He wanted to say something else but he stopped himself.

“I am, I like to do things for people. But when you take it for granted, I tend to no longer want to do it anymore.”

“That’s understandable. Uh I also noticed that you were staring at me.” said Mark finally bringing up what he wanted to tell her.

“I know.”

“So what was up with that?”

“What’s up with you staring at me?”

“I was just admiring a beautiful woman.”

“Thank you, and I was just admiring a fine man.”

“Thank you.”

“You know we shouldn’t be talking like this. I mean my boyfriend is your close friend.”

“I know. And he’s very lucky.”

They just stood in silence for a moment. Staring into each other’s eyes. They realized that they were more attracted to each other than thought. They were just getting ready to kiss when Larry walked in.

“Hey you two.” said Larry.

“Hey, see what’s the point of me asking if you guys wanted anything when you just come in here anyway.” said Cheri shaking her head.

“Sorry, I wanted something after you came in here.”

“Uh-huh, well I’mma take this back to that fool. Feel free to get whatever you want.” said Cheri giving Mark one more look before she walked out.

“Why did it look like I interrupted something?” asked Larry when she walked out.

“Because you’re trippin.” said Mark putting some ice in his glass.

“Oh so I didn’t walk in on you two about to kiss?”

“Exactly.”

“Mark.”

“Larry.”

“Come on, don’t lie.”

“Aight maybe we were. So?”

“So, that’s Dawands’ girl, and not to mention he’s sitting in the living room.”

“Look, there’s nothing happening. We almost kissed big deal.”

“Yeah it is a big deal. Especially seeing as how you told us that you were attracted to her from the moment you saw her.”

“So?”

“So, I don’t get into something you can’t get out of.”

“I’m not, I know what I’m doing.”

“I hope so, I really do.”

“Nothing’s gonna happen. We’re just friends, nothing more.” said Mark knowing he was lying.

“Aight you better remember that. Cause you messing with fire if you think you can mess with yo best friends girlfriend.” said Larry shaking his head.
