You All The Time

They left the club and Dicen was floating on cloud 9. Yep. He was flying high until LaBraya burst his bubble. “Well Dice, it's getting kinda late. You'd better drop me off back at my hotel.

They were making small talk when they pulled up near the valet. He put his truck in park and tried hard not to let her see the disappointment in his face. Just when she was about to say “Goodnight” to him a loud crack of thunder sounded followed by a bright flash of lightning and a heavy downpour of rain. The lightning flashed again and struck something behind the building that caused sparks to fly. “What the fuck!” he looked out of the window. “You see that shit?” and suddenly the hotel went completely black. His mood instantly improved. “Damn, Bee. It’s black in there.” He looked at her out the corner of his eye.

“Heck yeah! I need to go in there and get my bags, because it looks like I have to stay at your place tonight.” She looked at him out the corner of her eye.

***

They listened to music and laughed about old times during the drive back to his house until… “Dice, I feel kind of strange. I think…UH OH!”

“SHIT!” he parked in his driveway, jumped out of the truck, ran around to the other side and opened the door just in time for her to splash the pavement with an array of gastric juices. He just stood there in the rain laughing at her.

***

He showed her around his house, but in the middle of the tour she asked, “Uh…where is the guest room? I want to put my bags in there and clean myself up.”

Guest room? He looked at her to see if she was joking. She wasn’t. She was serious as a wedding dick. She ain’t really goin to no damn guest room. “Uh…up the stairs. First door on the left.” He plopped down on the couch, grabbed the remote and turned on his playlist never taking his eyes off her.

…spend the night, if you like

and i'll be good to you

spend the night and baby you might

see I'm the one for you

spend the night, it's alright

baby I want you to

spend the night with me…

“Uh…okay.”

“Uh…aight.” she bet not go to no damn guest room. “I’ma sit down here for a minute.” He watched her go up the stairs and heard the bedroom door close. I can’t believe she just took her shit to the fuckin guestroom!

***

Once she got in the bedroom she put her ear to the door and listened. Why the hell am I hiding in this room? I’m acting silly. She grabbed her things, opened the door and crept down the hall to the bathroom.

***

Dicen was just about ready to say “Fuck it!”, but then LaBraya came down the stairs wearing a night shirt. “You’re still up?” she asked nervously.

He looked at her sideways and turned his lip up. “Naw.”

“I’m sorry I got sick in front of your house.”

“That’s aight. I told you not to drink that stuff. Ay, you know what that remind me of?”

“What?” she sat down next to him.

“Remember that time when Mama was gone and we was drankin that orange Mad Dog 20/20 and you got drunk?”

“Yeah I remember. That was the last time I drank alcohol. Well…until tonight.”

“Remember how I talked you into goin in my room and I asked you for a kiss and I put all them marks on ya neck?”

“You sure did. Good thing I got sick or I would have figured out what you were up to. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you planned that whole afternoon just so that you would have something to go back and tell your friends. Do you know I had to go to church with my Grandmother the next day with my neck looking like that?”

“Oh. I guess now wouldn’t be a good time to tell you that I told the fellas you let me hit it, hunh?”

“Dicen!” she punched him in his chest “How could you lie on me like that?”

“That was over ten years ago. I wasn’t gonna tell them niggas nothin happened. Why you think Bo-Bo tried to get at you after we broke up?”

“Because, I was one fine ass chick that’s why.”

“Naw you wasn’t. You was cute, but you wasn’t no show stopper.”

“You a lie, sucka!”

“You was cute then, but now you cute and sexy and phat and…did I mention I told them that the sex was good?” 

“Dice, I’m going to kick you in your lying black ass!”

“Aight! Ay, you think if we stayed in my room that day you woulda gave me the thang-thang?”

…i

want you

so, what we gon' do

in the worse kinda way

now what we gon' do

i know you're a little nervous

what we gon' do

i know you really want this

what we gon' do

i can't believe the feelin

what we gon' do…

“Nope. I wasn’t ready. I was only twelve.”

“Remember we used to say I love you when we got off the phone?”

“No. That was you who used to say it to me, Soulman.”

“I still do, Braya.” I guess now is as good a time as any. He kissed her and the fuse was lit, doggone it!

“Ooo…mmm… Dice, maybe we’d better stop.” She threw water on the fuse.

“Come on, Bee. I’m good at this.” he kissed down her neck “You know you don’t want me to stop. Damn, you smell good.”

“Dice, we’re friends.”

“Um hmm…” he leaned her back on the couch while he pulled her sock off.

“If we let this happen things can never go back to the way they are right now.”

“Um hmm…” he pulled her other sock off.

“I like us being friends.”

He stood up. “Hold up! This ain't no game. I want you and you want me. We here right now cause both of us got all this damn wantin. So, fuck the friendship. I don’t wanna be friends no more, cause baby,” he kicked off his shoes, took his shirt off and unbuttoned his pants “You see this here?” he pointed at the front of his shorts “what I got ain’t for no got damn friend. So, stop frontin, come on and strike this muthafuckin match while it’s hot, girl.” He clapped his hands and the lights went dim.

“Dicen, we cannot do this.” She got up off the couch, clapped her hands and turned the lights back up.

“You bein real unsexy right now. Stop playin and come on.” he clapped his hands to dim the lights again.

“I’m a little tired. I think I’ll go to bed early.” She clapped her hands to turn the lights back up…again.

He threw his hands up in the air, looked down at his soldier of love then looked back at her. “Bee, you can’t be serious right now.”

“Goodnight.” She kissed him on his cheek and ran up the stairs.

“Ay!” he yelled after her “This is fucked up!”

***

He waited until he thought she was sleep before he went upstairs. When he walked past the bedroom door he stopped and looked at it. Damn that! I ain’t bout to beg. Fuck it! He continued down the hall to his room making sure to turn his music up loud to annoy her and to drown out his thoughts.

***

LaBraya was at the window looking at a serious thunderstorm linger on through the night outside as Dicen’s loud music seeped through the wall.

She was standing there trying to make sense of things. I look like a fool! Why am I hiding in this room? What am I scared of? Why did I tell him to stop when he kissed me? I know good and damn well I didn’t want him to stop. She walked over to the dresser and looked at her reflection:

…the next taste i’m gettin

you got me lookin in the mirror

tryna plan positions

i gotta give it to you feelin sexy

i want you to come and take it

there should be no waitin

so, when you see me don’t say nothin

turn me around then grab somethin

can’t you see that i’m ready

it’s about to get heavy…

She noticed a purple mark on her neck where he had just kissed her and she smiled. She put on some perfume and lip gloss, then she opened the bedroom door and tip toed down the hall.

***

Dicen was in his room laid across the bed in his draws listening to his Bluetooth speaker blast out his playlist. He couldn’t sleep.

He tried everything to tire himself out. He tried doing push-ups and afterwards he yelled, “Shit!”. Then, he tried doing sit-ups and afterwards he yelled, “Shit!”. Then, he took a shower and afterwards he yelled, “Shit!”.

He looked out of his window and watched the heavy rain pour down outside. A loud crack of thunder was so intense that it seemed like it rocked the whole earth! “Shit!” he yelled.

That was followed by a bright flash of lightening that knocked the power out in his house and in the dark he heard a familiar voice yell “Shit!” from the other side of the door. He opened it to find his friend standing there.

…baby, see most of all

i wanna be more than just friends

so, baby turn the lights off

where shall we begin

follow me

cause i don’t wanna wait another day

are you ready to scream

you better be

and girl i just might do the same…

“Why is you out here creepin around in the damn dark?”

“The power just went out.”

He turned his lip up. “You aight? You need somethin?”

She looked at him standing there looking at her. There was an awkward moment of silence before she responded. “Dice?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t want to be friends anymore.”

“You sho?”

She extended her hand to him. He took hold of it, pulled her into his arms and closed the damn door. 

____________________________________________________

They stood there for what seemed like forever just holding on to each other. Then, he caressed her face and gave her the softest, sweetest kiss on her forehead and her nose and her lips and her chin and her cheek and her neck.

He wrapped both of his arms around her and lifted her up off the floor and navigated through the darkness.

…a man in lust am i

every time is better than the first time

when you move on it…

“You’d better not drop me, man.”

“I got you, Bee. I ain’t gonna let go of you again.”

He laid her down and slowly pulled her t-shirt off over her head. She pulled him down to her and his hands roamed all over her body and hers all over his body.

He was kissing her neck and feeling around on her back, then he whispered in her ear. “Bee.”

“Hmm?”

“What kinda bra is this? How the fuck you take this shit off?”

“It unhooks in the front, stupid.” She giggled.

Once he freed her up he wanted to pick up where they’d left off years ago. “Can I kiss you here?” she nodded her head and he kissed her left breast. “Here?” she nodded, and he kissed her right breast. “Here?” she nodded, and he kissed her stomach. “Here?” she nodded, and he kissed her left thigh. “Here?” she nodded, and he kissed her right thigh.

Then, he bit the waistband of her silver satin panties and pulled them down

…i got that good love

if you let me baby, i'ma let you know what’s good

that's what i said, right

they do it wrong, baby come get your “head” right

and i think everybody know what Biggie said right

if it’s right is on tonight like headlights

and i don't slow down, not even for red lights

you can’t stop this G double O D

but, you need this

in case you didn’t know…

“Here?”

“Hey,wait a minute.”

“Hell naw.” He kissed her thigh again, then he sucked on her clit and it was then that she knew that he was about to turn her out!

He used his tongue to trace the letters of the alphabet. A…B…C…D…E…F…

“Sss…mmm…” she moaned and put a pillow over her face.

“Un unh,” he took the pillow from her and threw it across the room. “don’t hide ya face. If you like it say you like it. You like it?” he kissed her thigh and then he went back to school. G…H…I…J…K…

“N…no…nope…” She was barely able to respond as she held the back of his head.

“You a DAMN lie.” He bit her thigh and continued. L…M…N…O…P…

He licked her thigh, her hip, her stomach, her breasts. He stopped when he looked in her grey eyes like he was seeing them for the first time. “Kiss me, Soulman.”

He did and his kiss was so damn sensual, so damn warm, so damn wet and so damn right! “Bee, I love you.”

____________________________________________________ 

After more than ten years it was finally going down on a stormy night with all the power out. Making love to her was like a dream he never wanted to wake up from. It was more than he could have imagined it would be.

Yeah. Just like a dream.

Like a big ole pornographic dream with no bad actors and no extras and no got dang syncopated guitar pickin! “Tell me you love me, Bee.”

“Make me.”

He turned her to the side and put her right ankle on his right shoulder without skipping a beat. “Is that it?”

“Mmm…un unh.”

“Stop fuckin lyin! It Is!”

“I love you, Soulman.” He knew he had the right spot when he felt her body going through changes and she held on to him tighter. Her grip was so damn tight that he broke and said, “Damn, Bee. I can’t get it the way it need to be got if you keep pullin me down.”

“You’re talking shit now, Dice?” she squeezed her pelvic muscles so tight that he was sure she was cutting off his blood supply and his dick would suffer brain damage! But, not enough damage for him to stop what he was doing.

And then, it happened. “OOO!” Her body got hot, she began to shiver, and she didn’t know what the fuck was going on, but the ever experienced Dicen knew what was up.

“That’s one, baby.” he counted and he kissed her face when she had her very first orgasm ever.

Her mind was blown.

…grind, slide down me

slide up and grind down slow

take your time and groove

i love when you let it go

i'm lovin your every move

rock fast or slow…

When LaBraya could catch her breath, she started talking big shit! “Aw, come on. I know that’s not all you had to give to me tonight.”

“You better be careful what you ask for.”

“Don’t tell me that was it.” She teased

“I was tryna go easy on you, but if you want the real…” he sat up on his knees and pulled her all the way up on his hips. Then, he grabbed the back of both her thighs and held them apart as far as they would go. “Ay, I’m bout to get mine. You better keep up with me baby, cause I’m the man in this mutha fucka!”

…can you feel it can you feel it

give it to me like you already made me forget it

i can feel it, can you feel it

give it to me like you already made me forget it…

She could hang with him at first, but then he had her hanging over the side of his bed and after that he twisted her up in a way that seemed as though she was in a yoga pose, then he turned her upside down!. The sucka kept throwin so many tricks at her that she didn’t know what the hell he was gonna do next!

She had another orgasm “That’s two…” and another one “That’s three…” and another one “Damn, that’s four!” after that!

“Oh my God! Dicen! Ooo…”

“That’s five…”

“Okay! You the man!”

“Bee…” he whispered in her ear. “baby, I’m bout to cum…”

“Hold it!” She wasn’t ready for him to shut it down just yet, so she pulled out some tricks of her own. She hooked her leg around his and shoved him off her at the same time so that he ended up on the bottom and she was on top. “I’m running this now. Say I got it.” She sat up.

“You got it, Bee. It’s all yours. Do whatever you wanna do with it, baby.” He surrendered.

“Anything hunh?” she reached down on the floor to feel around for her bra. She kissed him and sucked his tongue like a cherry Jolly Rancher then, she grabbed his hand and raised it above his head and used her bra to tie him to the headboard. Then, she tied up his other hand. She kissed him again and bit his lip. She licked his earlobe and bit it. She kissed his neck and then she bit into it hard enough to leave a mark. “Ouch! What the fuck!” 

“Suck it up, wimp! Stop whining.”

“Yeah, aight.”

She kissed and licked from his chest down to his waist, then she stopped and looked up at him. “Bee, if you bite me there I’ma- “

“You’ll what? You’re tied up.”

“I’ma tear this shit off and wrap it around ya damn neck!”

“I won’t bite.”

She took hold of the force in front of her and blew on the tip. Then, she flicked her tongue along the vein that led all the way up to the head, she spit on the tip and she downed it!

YES!

Fast, then slow, then fast again! He felt like he was going to jump out of his skin! He wanted to grab the back of her head and hold it right there, but that fuckin bra had him bound! “SHIT!” he yelled out of frustration.

She came up for air and stuck her tongue in his mouth while she straddled him. He held on to her hips while she worked it. “Ooo…do it just like that.”

She started off slow rocking back and forth, then he had her bouncing up and down at a faster pace. She demanded him to give it up. “Shoot it in me, Dice!”

Just when she thought he was about to give in he broke loose from his binds and rolled over on her pinning her down again! “Who got it now, smart ass?”

“OOO! You got it!”

“That’s eight…”

“T…Th…that was six!”

“Shut up! You want what I got?”

“OOO!”

“That’s seven…”

“Oh, my GOD! Yes!”

“Say it!”

“OOO! I want it!”

“That’s eight…” he spoke in her ear. “Whatchu want me to do with it, Bee?”

“OOO! Shoot it in me!!!”

“Whoo! That’s nine! UHHH…AWWW…DAMN!”

WIZ! ZOOM! WHOOSH! BOOM! BANG! POW! POP! POP...pop…pop. Splat.

When the freak off was over and their cloud of passion was beginning its descent back to earth they laid there wrapped up in each other, but Dicen couldn’t quite pull himself together. “Hhh…I…hhh…I think I…hhh… just skeeted out…hhh…one of my damn lungs...hhh…” He tried to catch his breath.

“Dice?”

“Wassup…hhh.”

“I think I know what love feels like now.”

“Yeah? What it feel like?’

“You.” She sighed before falling asleep in his arms.

“It always did, Bee.”
