Page 33 of Lost In You
Looking around to make sure no one was watching us, I asked in a low voice, “Have you slept with him?”
“Yeah, a couple of times. One time was even before I told you about my interest in him.”
“Well, that shit must be off the charts for you to be going through all this for that nigga,” Milana said, and shoulder bumped her.
Maui’s cheeks reddened. “I had my first orgasm during sex with him.” She looked around and said, “He got a diamond-chip dick, like Jill Scott talked about in her song with Paul Wall.”
I frowned. “What the fuck does that even mean?”
She reddened again. “When he was in prison, he had a shaved piece of a domino inserted under the skin of his penis. It enhances the sexual experience because it makes the friction a little rougher. I came within three minutes.”
“Why the fuck would he do something like that? Couldn’t that shit cause infections? What the fuck?”
“He did it to prove how masculine he was. You see how fine Mythic is. Those niggas thought they could mess with him in there. So after he did that shit and lived through it without infections, they left his ass alone. They thought he was crazy. He is a lil bit,” she said and giggled. “There’s a little scarring from it, but that’s it. It’s called genital pearling. Look it up.”
I had to sit on the floor after hearing that shit. I had never heard of no shit like that. When Paul Wall said it in the song, I just figured that was slang for him having good dick. I couldn’t wait to tell Asad this shit. I was surely gonna tell my mama. Her nasty ass probably already knew. I was stunned into silence.
“You good, Ashanni?” Milana asked with a chuckle.
“Girl! That shit got me tripping!”
She chuckled as Maui giggled like a schoolgirl. That shit explained it though. He’d turned her ass out and now she was going against her family for him. For her sake, I hoped he was trying to make changes. If he wasn’t, he was going to break her heart. He was the true definition of the word fuckboy. He had so many hoes it was ridiculous. I wanted to ask about this baby he supposedly fathered, but I didn’t want Maui to feel a way.
She was obviously feeling extremely defensive. People usually only felt that way when they were questioning things internally as well or when what they were being defensive about was true. I felt like she knew just how toxic that nigga was and that was why she was so defensive.My poor cousin.I got up from the floor and squeezed next to her on the couch. I slid my arm around her, and she leaned against me. I couldn’t believe she was putting herself through all this bullshit for a nigga.
“Well, now that you and Asad are back together, I assume y’all have come to a resolution about Mila,” Maui said.
“Yeah. I told him I would let him handle it.”
She lifted her head and frowned at me as Milana did the same. I chuckled as Milana asked, “How did that shit taste coming out of your mouth?”
“Like fucking razor blades, but I trust him. I’m going to let him handle it. Did you ever talk to Nita?”
“Girl, y’all ain’t gon’ believe this shit!” Milana said, standing from the couch. “She was trying to give me money!”
“Money?” Maui and I said in unison.
“Money! From that nigga’s life insurance policy. I told her I didn’t want anything that would be reminiscent of him. Then she apologized for playing a part in escalating the situation. It was like she wanted someone to take that nigga out and was offering me money for my involvement with Ace getting it done. Ain’t that some shit?”
“How does she know Asad’s baby mama though?” I asked, hoping that wasn’t suspect.
“I need you to brace yourself, cuz.”
“Aww shit, Milana. Just tell me.”
“She used to date Julius. She had a baby from him that mysteriously went missing. Julius was only sixteen at the time.”
“What!”
“Mm-hmm. Trifling ass, perverted ass ho. The baby was a year old when she reported him missing. That case went cold.”
“My God. You think she killed the baby?” I asked.
“I don’t know. As money hungry as she seems, it’s possible. Don’t tell Asad I told you that,” Milana said.
“Why not?”
“I don’t want him trying to dig more into it, causing confusion. Honestly, it scares me for Jayceon. I’m glad he’s made it this long. I want to believe that has a lot to do with Asad though. Julius didn’t want a kid, so he didn’t really care, which is sad in itself.”
