Page 69 of Anything Necessary for Her
“You fucked her, huh?” I surmised.
Before he could answer, the woman of the hour came over.
“Aye, Gaia?—”
“No, since you’re here and wanted to introduce yourself, I figured you could answer.” I turned to her.
“Answer what?” She gave a confused smile, eyes bouncing between Low and me.
Low went to help his brother nearby, leaving her with me.
“Did you fuck Low? Is that why you’re like a dog to a hydrant, introducing yourself to me?” I cocked my head.
“No!” She burst into laughter, but I was stale faced, finding nothing about her lying funny. “I got a man.” She searched the party with her eyes for a bit, then pointed, saying, “See!”
I looked to find some loser looking nigga seated at a bench with a plate of food. He looked uncomfortable as if he were afraid a shootout would commence very soon. His eyes kept darting toward his watch to check the time, just before he would bite into his smoky meat.
“Damn.” I turned back to face Gaia. “I haven’t seen you speak or kick it with your man this whole time. You sure have been trailing behind mine though.” I folded my arms.
“Girl, puh-leeaasse! Low and I are just friends. I promise.”
“Ok. Well, you make sure it stays that way, Miss Gaia, and I don’t mean friends with benefits. I mean platonic. Don’t so much as church hug him. Because other people may fall for this ‘I have a man and Low is the homie’ stint, but I know better. I have a lot brothers who have brought around their fair share of delusional hos and can tell when a bitch is trying to be territorial over some dick or start shit. Don’t let the pretty face and ballet career fool you, sweetie. I will fuck you up. And I can promise you, no matter what you say or do, you will never fuck Low again.”
I could tell by the way her eyes darted around my face and her teeth gradually sunk into her bottom lip that I was on the money.
Snapping out of her trance as Kailey appeared, she sighed. “We are friends, Banks. I was trying to be nice because I cansense something, and I want the bro to be happy. I was thinking we could even be friends.”
“Nah, she got enough friends. Now you need to bring your ass back over to the dessert station, Gia, because we need help.”
“It’s Gaia,” she called to Kailey’s back as she switched off.
“Same thing.” Kailey threw out as Gaia rushed over to where all the desserts were.
“You crazy, Peep,” Low told me as soon as I went to stand between him and Wyatt. He hesitated as he was about to kiss me, forgetting our surroundings. “I gotta pee.”
I looked around as Low walked off, making sure everybody was occupied before going in the same direction he’d gone. I’d been itching to kiss him, too, and feel his touch, so I figured this was the perfect time. We would be behind a big building, and my family was busy. Plus, tomorrow everything would be out in the open, so I wasn’t too worried.
I waited until Low came swaggering out of the bathroom, tugging him toward me.
“Peep.” He smiled, pulling me against him by my hips. “You gon’ get us in some shit.” He spoke against my lips before kissing me.
“I just wanted a kiss. Nothing crazy.” I tossed my left arm around his neck as he pressed me into the stubbly concrete wall.
I could hear the loud get-together in the distance.
“I been wanting to do this since I saw you. I can’t wait until this secret shit is over.” He swept his lips across my pulse.
“Less than twenty-four hours,” I whispered before we kissed some more, him slipping his tongue into my mouth as his hands grabbed at my ass.
“You keep playing, I’m gon’ want some pussy.”
“You keep playing and I’m gon’ give you some.”
He sucked my lips in response, hands still on my ass as I moaned. I knew I needed to stop before I ruined my underwear, and it was too hot for that shit. Plus, I had a long day left.
“Banks!” A loud, very recognizable and deep voice caused my stomach to sink as I froze.
Low stepped back from me slowly as I craned my head to the left of me to see a seething Lequay.
