It's exactly 24 hours before my 21st birthday and I'm being approached by one the sexiest
human specimens I've ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. Babygirl was at least 5'11
and thick in all the right places, something you'd see in a music video...Rosa Acosta ain't have shit on
her. She had these beautiful almond shaped eyes the color of warm raw honey... I was so
mesmerized. My best friend Dior sounded like we were in an episode of Charlie Brown!
I ain't even notice her walk up that's how hard a n*gga was staring, until she waved her hand in my face. Instantly capturing my attention she introduced herself as Fire.
She began to tell me how she had caught a few of my spoken word performances and how much she admired my work.
She handed me a personal invitation to a poetry slam set at a secret location and told me about
a meet and greet that would be taking place later on tonight at 8:00; Kissed me on the cheek and whispered in my ear " after the meet and greet... be prepared to spend some one on one time... just you and I".
She told me to bring Dior because her homegirl was digging her swag. Gently releasing my hand, while I watched her walk away.
Dior was cutting my ass "Yo, bro you froze up like you saw a fucking ghost. This the first time I ever saw you at a lost for words."
"Dior, I don't know bro. Fire was just igniting all type of flames inside of me that I haven't felt since Cierra, bro". "As beautiful as she is I would have and should have remembered her!". "We need to get back to the hood asap... eight o'clock will be here in no time. If nothing else my only motivation is the mystery behind Fire."
"Flames, you wild bro but I respect it. Yeah... we going to have to stop by my crib so I can grab my fit and dressed at your crib...That way you don't have to pick me up, we can just ride out."
"Sounds like a plan... we out. Bro you got a backwoods? I need to blow it down. This bitch at my job getting on my last nerve. She stay on my dick, bro. The way she be on my body just ain't healthy. I'm ready to quit this fucking job, shit is getting annoying."
"It's crazy bitches stay screaming they strictly dickly and when they run into some fire studs like us they be ready to leave they husbands , boyfriend and baby daddy's."
"Dior, you always say what I'm thinking , hurry and roll the wood so we can smoke when we hit the highway. I got a feeling tonight going to be one for the books,bro."
Flames
"Welcome to the Waldorf-Astoria! My name is Christian. How may I be of service to you today? Do you have a reservation or are you looking to book a room with us today?"
As soon as homeboy opened his mouth I knew he was one of the girls. The arch in his eyebrows was better than me and any other chick I knew for that matter.
I proceeded to hand him the paper. He picked up the phone and make a call. After a few words and head nods.
Christian pointed me in the direction of the elevator on the left side of the lobby.
All Dior could do was stare in complete and utter shock when Christian said go straight up to the penthouse floor.
"First of all, Flames the Waldorf-Astoria is the one of most talked about hotels of this generation. The stories circulating around this spot is bananas.
The penthouses in this spot cost a pretty penny. This damn sure ain't your usual poetry slam event.
"You ready to walk into the unknown bro? Cause i'll be damned if we are going to turn around now."
"This is it the penthouse floor. Ring the bell... Flames, we here on behalf of you so please by all means do the honors."
"You're annoying as fuck... you know that right. If you wasn't my right hand man's you would've been clipped!"
"Shut up..." before she could finish his sentence the door swung open..........
"Well, hello! We were all wondering when ya'll were going to ring the door bell. It was cute watching you two love birds engage in foreplay. My name is Ve'vee. I'm Fire's business partner... come on in. You two are the first to arrive. I must say your punctuality has set the bar. I'm really impressed and might I add your just as sexy as Fire informed me you were. Please make yourself comfortable... Fire and Gianna will be with you momentarily. Refreshments are on the table feel free to help yourself. There's also a bud and cognac bar with a variety of spirits and rolling cigars to choose from. Now if you will excuse me, I have to handle a few last minute details."
"Flames, let's hit that bud bar first cause the way this spot set up I know they got some fire strains then when the munchies kick we raid the buffet of wings and tings."
"Ight bet but we can't get too fucked up we need to be aware of our surroundings. There's no room to get caught up."
Fire
"Fire, I must admit you did a hell of a job putting this event together. Now all we have to do is lay all of our cards on the table."
"Gianna, this has to go well Madame La'Rue is counting on us. There is little room for error , she has worked her ass off to get this thing back up and running.She has invested a lot of money into our business venture and she comes with high profile clients. It's really a win win situation. Are all the wavier's and non-disclosure papers inside the correct folders? There is a shit load of things we have to go over. I simply don't have time for anyone to say they have incomplete packages. I just need things to run smoothly."
"Really Fire, are you okay? You seem a little bit distracted. This wouldn't have anything to do with that sexy ass stripper poet sitting in our living room does it. You have been waiting for the moment you could shoot your shot and it has finally arrived. So don't be scared now, sis."
"Gia, it's weird. All I have to do is hear her voice reciting spoken word and my pussy starts running like a faucet. I'm going to get a bad case of carpal tunnel and be named the sponsor for Duracell batteries!"
"Damn, girl! When the last time you let someone handle that for you? I feel bad for you my damn self."
"Trust! I've been doing the shits, but those masturbation sessions based on thoughts of Flames hit different. Bitch, when I say that seizure type orgasms and squirting so intense... I fall asleep soaked in my juices, sucking my thumb."
"Well damn, Fire! If you want her all that bad, keep that shit to yourself bitch. If she got you like this and ya'll ain't so much as hold hands. There will be a bunch of thirsty ass bitches waiting, scheming and plotting how to get what you got."
"Say that,Gia... but trust tonight when it's all said and done; Flames is going to be off the market and by my side."
" Sorry to interrupt what ya'll got going on but all of our guess have arrived so let's get to it. Bitches, there's money to made."
" Ve' Vee, why you so damn dramatic? You're truly your mother's child... but you know we love you like cooked food."
" Gia, grab the crate and let's make our way downstairs; I'm hoping at least seven out of the ten are solid and can make the cut."
The Lavender Lotus
"Flames, what's good? How you been cousin?.... I haven't seen you in a minute. I see you still have Dior for a sidekick!"
"Blaze, why you always have to be a dick rider?..... You still bitter about how I whipped that ass in the eleventh grade in front of the whole hood!"
"Not even on my worst day did you ever whip my ass youngin!....You know I know what's really good with you! Kima was just asking for you....... She told me she wants that old thing back!"
"Come on, Blaze. Why you always hitting below the belt?.....That shit just now was so unnecessary! I see you still messy as fuck. You know that shit with Kima is a sensitive topic. So why would you bring it up?!"
"That's always been your problem, Flames.....You stay putting strangers before your blood. All I'm going to say is this......We will still be here when bitches like Dior decides to up and walk away. Let that shit sink in it."
"Bitch, I'll punch you in your motherfucking mouth!....I've had enough of this bullshit with you, Blaze......You mad at Dior like homie fucked your bitch or something!......"
"My n***a I will knock your motherfucking head off your shoulders.......Don't you ever fucking threaten me... I've stomped mud holes in bitches for way less!"
" HEY! This not even about to be tolerated! Blaze, I don't care how good of a deejay you may think you are. I will dub your shit and my event will still be lit! Rule number one... bad tempers, arguing and/or fighting will get your ass terminated real quick! If ya'll want to be ghetto take that shit back to the hood because it will not happen here......".
"Ya'll done pissed off Gianna already.... Now that little tit swinging contest is over.... Hello, ladies my name is Fire and these two ladies to the right of me are my business partner's Gia and Ve'vee. As you all know we went searching all over the city for the best of the best in the LGBTQ spoken word, adult entertainment and music communities. Ultimately narrowing it down to the ten of you. With that being said.... Welcome, For those of you who don't know us, we used to be exotic dancers at Fantasy Island. An upscale women's club that was exclusively members only. We always said we would start our own Member's only club. Where members can customize their own fantasies. So today we are here to offer at least seven out of the ten of you the opportunity to be apart of this awesome journey. I'm going turn this over to Gia .....She will start us off with a name exercise. Gia, the floor is all your's."
"Hello..... ladies how ya'll doing tonight?... Gia's the name and shaking my ass is my game. I need ya'll too get up out of your seats......Clap your hands and stomp ya feet! When I tap your shoulder I want you to introduce yourself with a name and a demonstration of your talent. Wake up, bitches! I need the same energy you put into your performances. This exercise plays a major part in our decision making.......So please keep that in mind before we get started let me introduce our Emcee and Deejay... Blaze. Blaze is one of two middle women who will run day to day operations. The other just might be standing next to you. Like I said how bright your future becomes depends on your participation tonight.

This business is not for the weak minded nor is it just a business... we are a family! That will and will only be built on Trust and Loyalty! We are far from dumb, we know there will always be snakes in the grass..."
"Say that shit sis..... No bullshit and games will be tolerated here, Periodt!.....My name is Ve'vee I'm the enforcer out of the Gang!... I keep things running precise and make sure everyone is moving militant so please log that into your memory bank. Now back too our regularly scheduled program."
"Ve'vee pretty much covered everything. Does anyone have anymore questions? If not speak now or forever hold your fucking piece!... Deejay Blaze drop the fucking beat!"
Brooklyn
"Brooklyn, what's good?! You ready for graduation next week, sis? You do know that this by far the the dopest accomplishment we could have ever been blessed with! To be honest your a major part of the reason I was able to get through these last three years of school.....Hey what's with the long face? Wait, let me guess your dog died or even better you lost your best friend?"
"Mecca, now is not the time for your lame ass joke!.....Graduation is exactly a week from today and I haven't heard not one damn word from Flames! She was the one who made this all possible. Why wouldn't she want to see me finish this so called dream she has for me?!"
"Brookie, didn't Flames give you specific directions?.... You're so stubborn and emotionally impulsive at times causing you too lose focus on what's at hand. You coming to Howard University always had purpose, am I right? Look you've evolved from a hot headed freshmen into having the highest GPA on the campus. You've made honors and Dean's list never missing one in three years! Not only are you graduating a few months early but they chose you as valedictorian for the class of 2019!... Not to mention the paid internship at one of the most prominent entertainment law firms in NYC this summer! Would you like to know what the icing on the cakes is?"
"No! Not really but I bet your going to tell me anyway aren't you..... So let's get it over with I picked up a shift at the radio station tonight."
"There's something I've always wanted to say since you stepped foot on this campus......Brooklyn, I'm in love with you. I want nothing more than for our lips to touch right now. I can not sit back and watch another day, week, month or year without you in my life!"
"Mecca, I......... I don't know what to say. I'm an aggressive and so are you.... How is that ever supposed to work?"
"Wait a minute... Let me get this straight!. You're standing here telling me that because we both like men's clothes, durags, and boxers, that somehow it's wrong for us to be together? Come on, Brooklyn! A blind man can see the chemistry between us. This is you being your typical all about me self. You know what I'm good! I have some last minute running around to do before graduation. Conversation over. I wouldn't want you to be late for your shift!"
"Aww, look the two dikes are having a lover's spat!.....Ya'll two of the gayest bitches I've ever come across that's on God!"
"Shut the fuck up, Trina! Your washed up ass wasn't saying that when you swallowed my nut a few weeks ago. You just mad because I dubbed your shit immediately after. Now, move out my fucking way! I have to be to the station in a half hour. Some of us don't have the pleasure of laying on our back to make ends meet!"
"Fuck you, bitch! You think you all that and you ain't shit, Brooklyn!. Karma going to fuck you straight up the ass bitch!....Mark my words you gonna get yours!"
The Lavender Lotus
"Now that the introduction have been made...We can go over the most important document. Which is the nondisclosure agreement I'm handing out right now. I'm going to turn it over to Ve'vee now."
"I am the HR director and head of security for La'Rue promotions! My mother is the founder of this particular part of the game. Due to my father's recent bid to run for the United States Senate she had to give up her favorite and very lucrative past time. Instead of being giving what I considered would be my birth right...Mama La'Rue invested in the vision of three best friends. I can tell by the look of shock on your faces...Some of you have heard of my mother those who didn't... let me spell the shit out for you. Geneva La'Rue is a closeted lesbian married to a man of the same makeup who produced this sensual milk chocolate goddess you see before you. The legendary yet secret "Pandora's Play Lounge" was founded by Mama La'Rue over 20 years she gave other women like herself a place to let their hair down and be themselves, keeping all participants satisfied and safeguarded. For that reason that's where the non - disclosure comes in...by signing this document your agreeing to do your job and keep your fucking mouth shut. If into the event you don't keep your fucking mouth shut , anything you attempt to speak upon will be null and motherfucking void. A massive ass whooping will be the only thing that would even the playing field!Shit just got real...I hope ya'll now understand the severity of this situation! By a nod of your head are we on the same page.....Ok , glad to hear it. Sign on the dotted line, so we can move forward with our evening... Welcome to "The Lavender Lotus"!."
"Do I have everyone's paper?....If not please hand the too me!.Fire will be breaking you down into three groups. The groups will be broken down by talent...Singers and Poets , Dancers ,and the bread and butter Triple threats.Take a minute get some refreshments we will continue in exactly five minutes."
"Flames ain't that broad related too your mother's asshole of a husband!?You told me about when you first came back around!?"
"Dior just don't ask me any questions right now!..... I need sometime too think and I can't collect my thoughts with you in my ear!Let's just finish this out....It may be more beneficial than hazardous!
" Flames have we peaked your interest at all? I sure hope we made a good impression on you...We could really use your talents."
"Ve'vee , your straight forwardness is a huge plus in my book! If ya'll continue too keep it a band I'm all for it!.....You were right when you said some of us knows your moms. When I was big on the scene a few year's back I did a few events for her...Madame La'Rue is an acquired taste!.However the perks were amazing and made up for her rudeness and entitlement!."
"Well if it isn't the "Human Myth" herself...What up Flames? Your a sight for sore eyes...Really not much too the imagination though!" Ve'vee how's that sweet pussy having mother of yours!"
"I see some shit never changes Desire...Don't ever get it fucked up bitch!.The only reason you're here is because for some reason she's very fond of you!...Insulting my moms in my presence is a fucking no no!.Do it again and I won't hesitate whopping that ass!.I hope I've made myself loud and motherfucking clear!."
"What the fuck you looking at punk?!.You know damn well you don't want no smoke over here!."
"Come on Dior I'm not even about too entertain this clown ass bitch!...Since when lames like her been worthy of that look in your eyes?!..."
"Say less bro , Let's get back over there and get this shit over with!.Cause if I stay here any longer I'm going too loose what sense I have left!."
"Can everyone please your way back to the living room please...We're ready too being braking down the groups. Although you were all hand picked only 7 or 8 of the ten of you will make it. If into the event you are picked , and you don't pass every portion of the evaluation.Your spot will be given to the next in line!.Are ya'll with me so far?... If not please feel free to raise your hand and I will happily go over it again.Great now we can get down to the real shit with no sugar coating!.By a raise of hands who has experience in the adult entertainment business!? No need to be hesitant...None of us can throw stones at a glass house!. Desire , The floor is all your's sis..."
"It's not like I'm not well known in this game....I would never want too toot my own horn.But I am the hottest and most experienced in the spot!.Regular's pay me top dollar an hour to fulfill their fantasies!All of my strip club days been over....I make more in a half hour than half you make in a week and I'm only 19!."
"Gianna is it cool if I take it from here!...I think our friend here lost the concept of what this all means!."
"Flames , the motherfucking floor is all your's , and my ears are wide open!"Desire you better say a word either!.You've said enough!."
"This is how this game goes in the nut shell!. Unlike us openly non conforming lesbians!...There are many woman in high places who can't or won't publicly embrace their true selves!.For the most part it's a husband and wife duo....Or at least what my experience has taught me. The wives are normally the alphas in these arrangements!.If my memory serves me correctly, Ve'vee your mother started back in what 97 , 98 right!?"
"Yeah she did I was about 2 or 3 years old when it all started!...How would you even know that your younger than me!?."
"Like said I'm not new too this...I know the in and outs.I even had the pleasure of working for you're moms on a freelance agreement!. Clientele for me was different than the regular's the girl's!.I did private parties and events...The real money came in from the dates outside of their fantasies!.I was a year younger than Desire when I got deep in the game!....On my 18th birthday big fish took me on my first trip too the "Dominican Republic".They've bought me cars and have taken me on shopping spree's!.Pockets were never on empty!.Everything that glitters ain't always gold...The price you pay for the luxury ain't always pretty!.A dream quickly turns into a nightmare.Especially when sex becomes a factor , Most but not all of them just take care of in exchange for sexual favors...I lost a very dear friend of mine to Aids three months ago!.all the because she had a threesome with her client and her husband not knowing their status!.Already suffering from a weak immune system due to complications from being born addicted to heroine!.The virus ripped her apart in a matter of a year and half!....What I'm trying too say is that when you choose too live a certain lifestyle , You have to make sure that your well being is your first priority.I gave you the facts , Now it's up too you how you use it!"
"That was some deep shit you was just kicking Flames. You've made some major points about this game!.Ladies sex will be put on the table constantly ,However if your not on that type of time there's nothing wrong with that.We are not here to introduce you to new habits , Nor will we force thing's of this capacity on you!.As far as Std's and Hiv goes we are taking all measures to reassure you our employees and our clients alike are aware of each other's status.All of you will have background checks and testing for all Std's and Hiv. The backgrounds checks are being done as we speak. It's just another precaution to assure everyone involved safety!Once all the groups are broken the testing will start during the group sessions.First group will be the dancers..When I call your name please stand next to me!. Gemini , Fab , and Mz Prissy you will be grouping with me. Next up poets and singers...When I call your name please stand by Ve'vee. Lavender Monroe , Jazzy , Henny and Kani!.After the group session we will have decided who will stay and who will go. Wishing ya'll good luck see you soon!."
All my triple threats follow me , We're going upstairs to the den...It's a little too crowded down here for me!.. Grab your stuff and follow me please!.Oh , Before I forget Dior we have a special job for you, Stay with Gianna she will fill you in on all the details."
"So you're the famous Flames? I thought you were some kind of myth!.... Just so you know I plan on getting one of those spots. Even if it's by any means necessary!"
"First off bitch watch how you come at me! ...You already know my vibes and you ain't never been built for it!".
"Get in this fucking den and calm down with this petty bullshit! It will not under any circumstances be tolerated!. So let me know now if it's an issue...I have no problem giving out walking papers!."This is the deal , I personally hand picked the three of you myself.... Desire and Dream girl you both are well know in the community and in high demand!. Making it easy for me to choose you.Flames you are the icing on the cake!. You're going to be the sweetness that satisfies the sweet tooth for our v.i.p guests!I thought you only did spoken word, Until one of our investors showed us some old videos!.Girl your name suits you in every since of the word!.You three will be picked . It 's already been decided."
"Hold the fuck up!. This bitch ain't do no shows in over a year !....So how in the hell does she become the face of "The Lavender Lotus"!."I give these old bitches memories that will last them for a lifetime!. Flames is overrated point blank period!. She needs to sit this one out and let me do what I do best!."
"The hate is so real , I don't get how you can be so arrogant when i'm the one who put you on...Not too mention I taught you everything you know.!To be completely honest , You're only where you are because I walked away from this life!. We both know what it is so let's not get this fucked up Desire!."
"Guess you forgot how I stole your bitch a couple year's ago!...Dacari is getting so big so fast... Sad you're missing out on watching him grow! and the warmth he generates when he sleeps on my chest....Damn bro it must suck too be you!"
"Dumb ass"Desire" thinks she stole a bitch I dubbed....Wow Cierra really got you thinking she don't still be on my body!...Quick question Desire , If you've been busy fucking and tricking on the fem queens of the ballroom scene...Who do you think keeps Dacari and Cierra clothed and feed! You ain't nothing but a little ass girl.....Pretending too be a grown ass man!. Cierra will always be hanging on too me cause she know her stability depends on it...And your little man will always carry my last name!...Looks like I'm winning too me!"
Aaron & Vivian
"Aaron where the hell is that child at?...Her mother will be here soon and she really wants to see her."
"Mommy you already know... Flames wants no parts of Brenda! Why are you in such denial about what your selfish ass child did!...Does even matter to you how you granddaughter feels about this? She's a grown woman she has a right to want no parts of Brenda!"
"All that child wants to do is throw her daughter a surprise birthday party!...Aaron baby I believe she really wants to fix this. Please help me help her , she's your little sister she needs you."
"I'm sorry but I can't!... I'm not you mommy! You can just sweep everything under the rug and pretend it never happened... Without realizing how toxic it is to everyone in this family."
"Hold on right there! When you decided to come out the closet I had all out war with your father may his soul continue to rest in peace! I never allowed anyone to treat you different , Despite the fact you go against everything I believe in. You being my child and me being your mother always came first!...My love for you out weighed all the judgement and ridicule this family had to endure. Is it so wrong that I'm now doing the same for your now...
"How can you even compare the two... I came out as a proud black gay man!. Brenda on the other hand traded her daughter for a lifestyle and drugs!...You don't even know the half. That poor girl went through some real life altering shit!.. I wish I could've given you all the details...Mommy you wouldn't and still won't be able to handle it...If you choose to keep pushing this issue... You will have to do it on your own. I cannot and will not participate in anything that will hurt Flames I'm sorry mommy....
"I see how it is son don't you worry about it. I keep forgetting that you're no longer apart of this family... That's something you chose year's ago. So you owe us no loyalty!....Please let yourself out and leave my house keys on the counter...This is where I turn my back on you and never look back!. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out"
"There it goes...One of the traits your oh so favorite daughter Brenda inherited from you! You sit here and make it seem like you were always for me!...Cause god knows you weren't riding for me!. My damn daddy didn't either...The only thing that humbled ya'll was your baby sister taking me away from the bullshit! Selective amnesia has always been your favorite pass time!... I don't even know why I bother. You didn't even care when your twin brother was touching me!.You did what your doing right now!...You cannot put a band aid on emotional and mental wounds... Here's your damn keys. Let Brenda take you to the doctor's appointments , do your grocery shopping , help you out with your bills and run and play all your illegal numbers!....I'm done with you , Brenda and all the bullshit drama that comes with ya'll. I'm officially done... My niece is all I need in my life.
" Wait one damn minute!...What's going on mommy? Why are you about to cry?... Aaron what the fuck you said to my mother!"
"You better bring your motherfucking voice down when you speaking to me!... I have no problem slapping a bitch and you know that!...Do everyone a favor and leave Flames alone! She wants nothing to do with you!... Not to mention the state of Pennsylvania agreed that you weren't fit to be her mother!...
"Shut your faggot ass up right now...My mother doesn't need to hear your bullshit lies about me! You have no right to blame our mother for anything you've convinced yourself I've done!"
"Well good luck with your mother...Ya'll enjoy each other's misery. I wish you both nothing but the best...Please do me a favor and stay the fuck away...That girl is finally at a place of piece. If you care or love her at all... You would let her choose to mend fences with you Popping up out of the blue after all these years with a surprise birthday party ain't going to cut it!."
"Her name is Danica bitch!...I ain't name her no damn Flames!. You cannot and will not stand in between me and my child...Have a child of your fucking own! So you can stop trying to steal mine...You supposed to be my brother! Yet you treat me like your enemy...Would it fucking kill you to have my motherfucking back for once!"
"The only back I will ever have is my niece's !...It will be over my dead body if you think you're going to come near her!...I put that on everything I hold near and dear! Just try me bitch and you will see what type of timing I'm on! Cause as of today we have no reason to say word to each other...Carry on and enjoy the rest of your evening"

"You've got 30 seconds use them wisely...Come on say what the fuck you got to say...Cause it's time for you to go!"
"Wait till I tell your mother that her daughter is responsible for her most prized possession being unhappy! Remove Flames or I'll convince your mother to do it for me!...The choice is completely yours. "If you think I do too much...You ain't do nothing yet."

Fire & Flames
"Flames , Don't let this ungrateful ass ho take you back to the place bro!. She's always wanted to be you.... All this acting out she was doing today... Just goes to show that bitch a hater. Even with all that's happened these past couple years your still standing tall and strong...Cierra trying to fill your shoes with a basic ass bitch...Who barely wants her and is wishing she can get that old thing back. What the fuck is wrong these two bitches bro!"
"I have not a clue why she hanging from my strap Dior... I will say this I did teach her well didn't I. It's sad I really thought she was my mans...Desire has a lot potential to do great things in this business...Shit in life period.I would never wish any bad on her...Only because I respect the shit she has been through. I would love too stomp a mud hole in her ass tho...It's just not in my heart to be spiteful."
"Facts even though I don't like it...I've grown too see that it's one of your best qualities...No one I know would want you to change a thing about you...Now enough of the mushy shit bro...All eyes are on us."
"That's what I call being a grown ass woman...Proof of why we chose you to setup shop....Flames I've gained so much more respect for you."
"I must say I'm impressed Flames , But umm it's time for us to have this management meeting...Then after that I'm all yours Flames."
"Ma don't attempt to sign a check your sexy ass can't cash...I have no idea what you're used to...But umm I ain't no easy kill...Ask about me."
"Bitch wipe that surprised look on your damn face...Looks like the "Almighty Fire" has finally met her match..."
"Gia , why you always got too drag it damn...You know the vibez...What Fire wants Fire gets and Flames is at the very top of my must have list..."
"Now that we all here let's get this meeting started...Monday all staff will arrive at Lavender and do a check in. Orientation classes will be split up by job tittle...Tiffany all bartenders and bottles girls report to you... Venita all cooks , porters , and waiters will report to you...Blaze you got music and that you are Flames number two with handling the girls.Flames you already know...I am excited to see what heights you take us too! Well that's all for now..Everyone enjoy their weekend and I'll see ya'll 5 o'clock sharp Monday afternoon."
Aaron & Desmond
"Hey , baby how was your day?... You look like it was a long hard one...You want me to make you a drink?."
"Please and make it a double... Desmond my mother and Denise are really pissing me the fuck off...Why don't they get it? I'm going to protect that girl at all costs...Am I so wrong for that? Am I over reacting just a bit?..."
"Aaron, Only Flames , Denise and myself know what's really been happening over the last ten years...Although it's becoming overwhelming with all the secrets and lies...There is so much more at stake if we do not handle this with care."
"Desmond you never cease to amaze me...Through out it all you've never left my side and I could never really understand why...My family is broken and chaotic yet you've survived all the antics and bullshit...Baby what did I do to deserve you?"
"Come here baby let me tell you a little story...Twelve years ago I was a closeted butch queen...Who attending a ball for the first time...The first category was butch queen realness.Not wanting to appear to obvious...I made eye contact with this greened eyed caramel God...He was wearing this sweaty wife beater...Looking at me like there was no one else in the room.Without as much of a flinch he continued to gaze at...He seductively tore off his wife beater walking down the runway...I tapped my openly gay and proud cousin Naheim and asked him who he was...Naheim went on to tell me...All shyness and self doubt disappeared for the moment.After the ball I walked up to Aaron and handed him my number....About a year after the cat and mouse games... I fell head over hills in love with him.That's when I made a vow that no bump in the road would be strong enough to tear me away from you Aaron...Because of you I found myself which is something I never thought I was capable of...So you damn right your stuck with me...Now give me so some sugar so I can make us some dinner Or would you prefer to skip straight to the desert!"
"Dinner then a sweet treat...You know that's my favorite combination. Please don't forget the moet mimosa's on the side."
"As you wish my King.... I love you too infinity...Trust me when I tell you. Pretty soon all of this will be a thing of the past."
"I am truly a blessed man...You and Flames are the reason why I breathe and wake up every morning...If anything were to happen too the both of you..."
"Baby hold that thought...It's a quarter till midnight.Have you too that child yet?"
"Oh shit you're right let me call her and see where she at..."Flames where in the hell you at?...We always bring in your birthday at midnight together...Call me back when you get this message."
"Well to be fair she is turning 21...Sooner or later shes going too be home less and less.We have to trust that the morals and values we've instilled aid her in this journey we call life."
"Isn't it funny how when we were young we hated the very thing we do now as parents..."
Denise
"Mommy, You alright... Aaron is complete asshole...Your our mother he had no right to talk too you the way he did..."
"Denise just hush... Don't worry yourself with that boys foolishness...We need to figure how we are going to get the child to meet with you.That's my only obligation at this point...Danica really has got it honest though... She's stubborn...Yet is so sweet and generous with a pure heart.That I can honestly say she didn't get from you ...And you damn sure didn't get it from me...Denise I may not know all the details about what's been going on for the past ten years and Lord knows something in me is telling me it's for the best I don't know.One thing I know is that my son doesn't fight a good fight for something he doesn't believe in. Aaron shields that girl like my baby sister did for him... Only advice I can give you is don't be like me...Bitter,lonely, and in denial pushing everyone who tries to get close too you away.I will not sit here and judge you for your past... However if a relationship with my granddaughter is what you really want... You are going to have too work your ass off too get it.After she's been in Aaron's care for almost eleven years He's groomed her well... Despite her stretch of rebellion about a year and a half ago."
"Mommy you do know that if I could turn back the hands in time I would right? Iwish I would've done some thing's differently...Did I choose my husband and my children with him...Yes , yes I did. There was no more I could do...Danica fought everything tooth and nail...She got along with everyone in his family for the most part with the exception for him. All Danica had to do was tone down the lesbian shit mommy!. Was I supposed too risk my other children loosing their father!"
"Wow this is just like deja vu... If that's how I sounded when it came to your brother...I was one selfish bitch.Except I never stopped fighting your father about the issue... It took so much mental and emotional and sometimes sexual abuse...Just so your brother could attend Sunday dinners and family functions...Even that wasn't good enough and it took for me to hear you speak those words...The venom in your words sounded so familiar... Listen too me Denise it's not too late for you to make things right...Those kids shouldn't be enemies...Danica and Zaniah can't be in the same room without damn near killing each other...Aaron was right about everything he said. So if you want that chance to mend fences you have to do it openly without any secrets or you will lose her for good....I'm going to smoke me a joint and take me a much needed nap...There's some leftover baked mac n cheese , oxtails with butter beans , coconut rice , cabbage with smoked neck bone and homemade cornbread in the fridge...Make yourself a plate you looking malnourished.Take some time to think about some of the things I said... Trust and honesty is the only way too not make a mess out of the situation...Love you baby see you in a few after my nap you can help prep for tomorrow's dinner
"Sure thing mommy I wouldn't do anything or be anywhere else.... love you more.."
Trey
"Trey this is Denise please don't hang up...It's about Danica , our daughter you do remember her right."
"Oh , I know her... The question that remains is do you?...Let me guess your now looking to mend fences with our daughter that you just tossed to the side like last weeks trash..."
"Come on let's be fair here Trey... You are not candidate for father of the year...Look I'm coming to you in peace.I was just wondering if you would convince Dani to have a sit down with me... I know I don't have the right to ask this of you but I thought what would it hurt...Trey I just miss her so much...People really believe that I don't love or care about her well being...I've tried but my damn brother stops me at every damn turn!"
"Let me stop you right there Denise. Our daughter missed out on me for the first ten years of her life...All because you were too ashamed of the fact you were in love with openly bisexual man...Yet here you are on my damn line asking me to betray my daughter. For the women she hates most in this world...You're really not as bright as you used to be. You let our little play thing manipulate you into turning your back on everyone! Also adding insult to injury you bent over and said kiss your ass!...Well i'm here to return the favor on behalf of me and my baby girl. Denise KISS MY BLACK ASS!!! to the sound of the dial tone!"
"Everything good Trey?...That look in your eyes is scaring me...So please tell what's going on."
"Denise is what happened...Uncle Thomas why would she ever think I would help her..."
"Nephew , I told you a long time ago...That girl is broken.Her daddy was my best friend at a point in time...He was a shitty friend and an even shittier family man up until the day he died.This all can be discussed after babygirls birthday..."
"Yeah Unc you right my baby a grown woman now...She's going too need me more than ever with her life sucking bitch of a mother on the prowl..."
Fire & Flames
"Flame's you're a piece of work I dig your vibez...I can honestly say it's going too be hard too not mix business with pleasure publicly when it comes to you...When I was doing my homework on you...The deeper I dug the more it felt like I know you..."
"I have too stop you right there...Can we take this conversation somewhere else and talk...Dior and Gianna won't miss us they totally doing their own thing."
"Say less...I'll grab the Henny , you grab the bud and some roll up..... Meet me by the steps we can chill in my bedroom."
"Sounds like a plan... I'll see you by the steps.Promise I won't take too long..."
"Gianna , Can I snatch my bro for a second... I need to speak to her real quick....I'll be sure to return her safely back too you."
"Flames , You play too much...I know she ain't going nowhere...Dior staying the night with me so enjoy her while you can..."
"Well excuse me... I ain't know it was that deep with ya'll. Trust I'm all for it....Dior I just wanted to tell you that I'll be upstairs with Fire."
"I see my name must be tasting real sweet coming off those lips...Don't even look at me like that...You ain't got too worry about ya mans...My girl Gianna got that trust me when I tell you!."All your attention should be focused on everything you see right here... Now give me your hand so I can take you upstairs..."
"Say no more beautiful...My hand is yours for the taking. Please by all means lead the way."
Dior & Gianna
"You and Flames are nothing like the rest of these studs out here...Most of them are out there looking for notches underneath their belt...Some have dead beat family issues latching onto anyone who enables them...Or some hopeless chick looking for love in all the wrong places tricks every last dime just to hear a fake I love you. Not ya'll two though...From the moment when we saw how ya'll interact with people the love , respect ,and loyalty ya'll get...It just hit us different especially with ya'll being so young and all...Once we had ya'll in our space we knew too go for the kill...Honestly I had Fire do all the dirty work because the thought of you rejecting me..."
"Hold up ma ...Let me explain something too you.The very moment Flames told me that you were the friend Fire said wanted to see me...I caught a sudden case of butterflies with the sweaty palms too match... Believe me when I say that doesn't happen often. I like the feeling I get when I'm next too you...To be honest I don't want this feeling to go away and I was hoping you feel the same way."
"Dior you've got a bitch full undivided attention... I just want us to live in the moment and see what blossoms from there...How does that sound to you? Are you willing to give us dating and getting too knowing each other a go?"
"I'm down for whatever... Just too see those beautiful dimples of yours when you smile...Anyone that tells you your smile doesn't brighten their day....Have them come see me and I'll have a nice talk with them.There it goes again...The smile I can't get enough of...Keep wearing that it really looks good on you."
"Dior , Dior , Dior ...... You better stop playing with me... I'm whole lot of woman and i'm not quite sure you would be able too handle me...The only way for me too find out is for me too continue testing the waters. I'm a beast in the sheets...So you better be more than ready to back that tough talk up ma!"
"The way you got my pussy jumping right motherfucking now...You are too good a thing too fuck on the first night. A cold shower is calling my name and I want nothing more from you tonight but too hold me in your arms while I sleep."
"Sounds like a plan boo...Oh shit what time is it right now!"
"Five minutes after 12! Why what's up?...Is everything okay?.Please don't tell me you have too leave..."
"Calm down Gianna ,Today makes 21 years Flames has been a blessing too this fucked world of ours...I feel bad I let it strike midnight...And not bringing it in with her."
"Is that what you're worried about...Boo we planned a party for Flames for tomorrow...We called her Uncle Aaron and asked if he had anything planned.When he told us that Flames didn't have anything planned...The rest is history."
"Wow ya'll don't play no fucking games I see...I have a feeling that what ya'll doing for my bro...Will makes her feel like nothing else in the world matters..."Thank you"."
Fire & Flames
" Fire tell me about the mystery woman that is you...I want to know what makes you laugh and what makes you cry...Your favorite foods and colors...Where you come from and where you want to go. I'm not one of these knuckle head studs out here...I know that there's more too women than their physical beauty...Looking in your eyes I can see what you never want anyone else too see.My ears are all yours...I'm here to listen and get to know what I'm sure is some pretty amazing thing's about yourself."
"Well excuse me Billy Dee Williams!....I see your a real smooth talker and I like. It's refreshing too know there are still some good ones out here!."Yeah I don't mean too brag but i'm one of the last of a dying breed. Consider yourself very lucky little lady!."
"Flames you are too cute sweetie...Only time will tell if you really about that life or if it is all talk...I will tell you anything you want too know in the mean time... For my life is a open book.So feel free too ask me anything you would like too know...Like I said your all mine for tonight. If you play your cards right you will be mine for every minute, hour, day , and year too come...Think your down for the challenge?...Or are you chicken? I may just be entirely too much for you...Oh by the way Happy Birthday stink..."
"In that case challenge excepted...Now please bring them plump juicy lips here so I can nibble on them lips like some birthday cake..."
"Sure just as long as you can finish what you start I'm with the all the shit's...Periodt."
Cierra & Desire
"I'm guessing things didn't go well... Judging by the look on your face and slamming doors and shit!"
"Don't fucking start...You wouldn't believe the fucking night I had...Guess who showed up to the spot tonight...Pissing me all the way the fuck off !"
"Look I don't have the time for your fucking guessing games...Just say whatever the fuck it is you have too say Desire!"
"That wack ass ex bitch of yours Flames!... If that ain't bad enough they gave her the top spot over me...Over me can you believe that shit! Everybody knows that bitch ain't got nothing on me... I can dance and sing circles around that bitch!The bitch even had the balls too say she taught me everything I fucking know...What type of bullshit is that?"
"Calm the fuck down Desire!..You acting like she lied...You and I both stabbed her in the motherfucking back! How can you walk around like you are so distraught? This why we are roommates and not in a relationship now!"
"You just had too hit me below the belt right! ...Don't worry orientation is on Monday... As soon as I save a months rent and security I'm gone."Cierra ,I know I was wrong for destroying your relationship with Flames...But your wrong for keeping me around knowing your still in love with her."
"I can't believe you trying too play motherfucking victim!...Manipulating me into believing she was cheating on me was all you Desire! Knowing we had plans too raise Dacari together... You had me so deep in my Birkin! I beat up that girl and they didn't even have nothing going on!...When the smoke cleared you promised me you could fill her shoes!... Now look at us we can't have a peaceful fucking moment!...Dacari is going too be 2 years old and he doesn't even like you...That's fucking sad!"I'm so sick and fucking tired of breaking my sons sleep too take him to my cousin house... Because we in here throwing our dick beaters damn near every night...Just so he doesn't have to go through the bullshit that comes with it!"
"What the fuck did you expect Cierra ,You gave him that bitch last name instead of mine...I asked you not to ask that bitch for shit and you did...But in true Cierra fashion you ignored my feelings too make yourself feel better.If we are going too be completely honest... You never attempted to fight for Flames! Put yourself in my shoes for once and see things from my point of view... I shouldn't have to take on your guilt I don't care how you take it!"
"I'm not about to let you run my fucking blood pressure up...There's no need for you too wait until you get the money...I'm about to head over too my cousin house too get my son and bring him home... I'm giving you two hours to have your shit packed and be out of my house! I mean every word of what I'm saying too you...If your not gone by the time I get back I'm calling the boys to escort you out...Keep the keys I've already changed all the locks earlier...Just make sure you put the slam lock on when you leave."
" Cierra remember karma is a bitch...You will reap what the fuck you sow mark my words."
Fredricko & Denise
"Denise where the fuck are you!... I come in late from a long day at the fucking office.To hear our son tell me that they ate fucking takeout ...Because you weren't going too be home too do your duties as a wife and a fucking mother!"
"Fredricko , I came to the city too see my mother...She hasn't been feeling too well lately.... It's been months since I've seen her..."
"That's not my fucking problem Denise! You have duties too me and our kids as a wife and mother...When you said I do you gave up that part of your life! How many times do I have too keep reminding you of that shit!...If i find out your trying to find the dyke bitch of a daughter of yours ...I will divorce your ass so fucking fast your head will spin! Today as of 15 minutes ago the bitch turned 21...Get your ungrateful stupid black ass back here and I mean right motherfucking now!...Divorcing your ass would truly be my pleasure! I will take my kids , the house and every dollar down too the last cent with me!...Leaving you broke and homeless just as I met you!"
"Let me say goodbye too my mother then I'm on my way...Fredricko you and the kids mean the world too me you need to know that...I would never betray my family and I promise it will never happen again...My loyalty is to you and our family."
"I'm glad you see thing's my way...I may just touch you for the first time in months if you can get my dick up without Brain being here!"
" I'm headed out the door now... I should be there in an hour and half two hours the latest. Again I'm sorry I didn't obey you see you soon....I love you."
"Did my ears just hear correctly? ...I know damn well you ain't about to leave my sister without as much as goodbye!"
"Auntie Beverly how long have been ease dropping on my conversation?... Not that it's any of your business Fredricko and I been having problems lately."
"You're no different from my sister...Self esteem so low that you push your child away for a man who clearly never loved you."
"Spare me the bullshit right now Bev!...You have always been jealous of me since I was a kid...Mommy stopped caring about you because I was around and you have been a hating ass bitch ever since!"
"Bitterness doesn't suit you that well...Vivian and I have the same relationship now that we had back then. Is that all you got you weak excuse for a woman.There's no way possible we are from the same blood line...Have you forgot the many nights you jumped in my bed to keep your pedophile of a father from touching you?"
"I really don't have time for this bullshit! I have a husband and kids waiting for me too come home for some much needed quality time!"
"Girl when you going to stop all this damn running and face them damn demons of your past Denise! Now I may not like your ways but you were my baby before I had your cousins...I've always loved you and your brother as if ya'll were my own...Every ounce of pain you feel I can see it in your eyes. Only thing that's going too make that unbearable pain go away is if you get you some help! Cocaine and booze ain't doing nothing but providing a temporary escape...Then after a while you find yourself still chasing that first high! Take it from me it will never ever be the same... I've seen enough of my regulars suffer the same fate your looking square in the motherfucking eyes! Even though at times we dislike our blood we make sure we are there too catch each other when we fall!"
"Wait a damn minute!...How in the hell did you know about me getting high?...Have you been spying on me? Answer me when i'm talking too you!"
"I'm one of the biggest player's in this here game little girl... I'm responsible for most these dudes out her being able too provide food , clothes , and shelter for their families.In return they give me their loyalty.... Fair exchange no motherfucking no robbery! So when your dick swallowing husband cut off your allowance. Your happy ass needed a fix so you attempted too offer sexual favors for it...Bet one thing you didn't count on was him calling me as soon as he turned you away! Breaking my heart into a million and one pieces...Then I get the call from Trey that you want him too risk his relationship with Flames too make you feel better..."
"Like I said I have to go...For the last time stay away from me and out of my motherfucking business!...Or I'm sending Fredricko straight for you and you know I will....So bitch please Try Me!"
