Ain't No Sunshine

It's a cold Toledo day. Watching the snow falling from my office window. Snow took a while for me to get used to. Being a California transplant, it's just not something you get see often. But today, watching it fall in beautiful untouched mounds it's captured my full attention. Now it could be the fact that the snow is so beautiful that I have let my mind wonder or the fact that if I focus on reality...well that's not so beautiful. Still staring out my office window I'm snapped back to life by my intercom beeping. Yes, Jazzy I reply Ms Saunders, Kira is on line one. OK thanks Jazzy.

I pick up the phone and Kira says Namaste Queen. Peace Queen I reply. That's my Kira. My Mother Earth, Conscious soul sista. Not only is she one of my very best friends, But she actually is my sister and responsible for the bomb ass hair styles I keep in rotation. So are we still on for tonight she asks. I'm not sure. Should we conference in everyone else? Everyone else would be the rest of my sister circle. Joel a family law attorney, Monique a fashion blogger and Gabby whose Principal of a school she founded. "You know we better the snow is coming down and you know you heffas act scared to drive to the D when it snows." Kira and Monique live in Detroit, it's more conducive to their career choices. But anyone who knows this region of the Midwest, Toledo is only 45 minutes away. Well if construction allows. Don't start Kira, I'm still coming you know I need this weekend. Plus. It's tradition. Quinton is picking up the girls at 4 and I'll head out right after. But maybe we should call the others and see cuz you know Joel and Gabby will be late anyways. We both laugh because Joel and Gabby are always on CP time. You literally tell them the wrong time to get them there reasonable on time. Shit Joel was even late to graduation. Let me have Jazzy patch them though. I buzz Jazzy " Jazzy can you patch in the rest of the girls and when you do go ahead and take the rest of the day off, it's snowing and we're done with clients for today. Jazzy replies thank you very much Ms Sanders getting the ladies now. After a few moments of mindless chatter between Kira and I we hear the girls patch in. Well first we hear Gabby "Suns fancy ass can't even make her own phone calls anymore I see" We all laugh. Don't come for me bitch. I earned that right when I sign these checks ya feel me". So anyway everybody still down for tonight? Joel says yeah heffa we in. "What time you leaving?" Quinton will be here to get the girls in a hour then I'll be a little after that. Roughly about 5. And no bitch I'm not waiting on you or Gabby you tramps ain't ever ready. Monique chimes in that she will be there early to make sure it's penis in the building. I love her crazy ass. We all agree to meet at our favorite Detroit spot "Floods" at 7. Angel and Jayla "I call out" my beautiful babies come bouncing in my office all full of life and energy. Get your things together daddy said he will be here to get you in an hour. "yes mommy they say in unison as they cover me with sticky lip gloss kisses" Angel who is 8 and Jayla who is 5 are the lights of my life. They just make you melt with those angelic faces and bright smiles. Their father, Quinton and I have a pretty good co parenting relationship. We never married but had these two beautiful babies together. It's like that sometimes. We never used courts and just worked it out amongst ourselves. Good thing too cuz he knew Joel would have been my pitbull in a skirt. After making a few phone calls and wrapping up a few emails I gather the girls and head down to the lobby of my Staffing Agency. Yup that's what I do. I currently staff for Toledo, Detroit and Chicago. So I also travel a lot. But for my girls it's easier to be here in Toledo. My cell rings as we take the escalator downstairs. "Hello" it's Quinton's voice on the end choppy and unsure as always "I'm in the lobby" Ok cool where right behind you. " He turns around and the girls jump all over him. I like to think I'm their favorite but whenever he comes around I'm not quite sure. "Daddy, Daddy they yell at ear ringing levels". Quinton beams up as soon as he sees them. Lord that man is still fine as all hell. But don't y'all go there. He's married and I'm uninterested. We're good friends but that's about all. You headed to Detroit he asks. Yes, to meet with the girls. Well be careful. It's not bad out but I'm not sure how much we're gonna get. "I will I reply" Tell them crazy girls I said Whaddup Indeed I will. I met my girls and Quinton in college so we all know each other very well. We go into the parking garage. I kiss my girls goodbye and get ready to head out. Music blasting in my Audi Q5 " Baby can you focus on me" H.E.R just takes me to my peaceful place. Check the GPS, No construction and clear roads. God is good! Phone Rings "What's up, I hear in a deep baritone that makes my knees weak" Hey Tyson how are you? Tyson is my heart. But he has commitment issues. So we date well and have amazing sex. You getting ready to head to the D, he asks even though he already knows the answer. Ummm yes love but you know that already, I laugh. I've only been doing this the First Friday of every month for the last 10 years. Lol Well I wanted to see you before you leave. You got a few minutes for me baby? I really don't, I hate being late and driving in the dark baby you know that. Why didn't you call me sooner? Things got hectic at work Bae. I couldn't you know it's nearing draft season so I'm traveling crazy right now. Well can we schedule a rain check cuz I gotta get on the road love. He replies I just need a few minutes baby please. I just pulled in your parking garage you haven't even left yet. I laugh cuz he's clearly not taking no for an answer tonight. He pulls up next to my car and we survey the scene. This parking garage is shared by myself and 4 other businesses. So it's nowhere near private. But it's no time to go back up to my office and that's no fun anyway. So we climb in the back of my Audi and he wastes no time letting me know what he came for!! He kisses me so deep instantly my panties are soaked. He knows it too. He takes his thumb as he is still kissing me long and deep and makes pretty little perfect circles on my clit. Heaven!!! He then traces a trail of kisses down my neck as I remove my shirt. He takes that thumb and rubs my pussy juice across my nipples and then devours them. I'm literally melting. The windows are foggy the air is thick. I'm in esctcy. As he works down my stomach to the opening of my thighs I feel his 9 inch manhood hit my leg through those Grey sweatpants. I'm about to cum and he ain't even did shit yet. Haven't you ever had a man smell so good, touch you so right you didn't even need penitration? Now he's blowing softly on my clit before he puts his entire face in my pussy. I mean he just dived right in. He ate this pussy like it was his last meal. Licking, nibbling, slurping and I just grabbed the back of his head and held on for dear life. I hollered in that truck so loud I'm surprised security didn't come. And when he knew I couldn't take anymore he pulled out that hammer and leaned in with all 9 inches and 220 pounds of man. Listen I lose my breath for few seconds every time he enters me. His sex is so good but it's quiet. Yup I said quiet. I like interaction when I'm having sex. If this pussy ain't making you wanna moan, talk, sing shit something then this ain't for you. So although the sex is really good or super solid it still leaves me needing something more. As he nears climaxing his stoke quickens. That thick manhood rubbing back and forth on my clit as I moan faster baby, harder we both cum together and fall into the seats. Heavy breathing and chests pounding. I search for his clothes. Him: Oh you just gone put me out? Me: now you know I was supposed to be on the road a half hour ago. Him: Ok baby you right. Text me when you get there so I know you made it safe. We kiss and he leaves. Now to go turn up with my girls!!! To The D I go!!!!

So cruising down 75 listening to my beloved Jeezy. Yes....pretty girls love trap music replaying that episode that took place in my backseat...damn I need to get a detail. Can't have Angel and Jayla back there like that. I call Kira Kira picks up with Where ya at? Getting off on Jefferson now, headed to you. You talk to Joel, Monique or Gabby Yup she says. Monique been here on penis patrol. And Gabby and Joel pulling in. How them hoes beat you? Ummmm one word Tyson Hurry up and get here bitch.

I need dets! Bitch it's nothing to tell bomb ass QUIET sex AGAIN!!! Yeah pull in so we can address that. Ok gimmie 5 minutes. I pull up to Floods and I can see it's doing it's usual for Friday. SLAPPING!!! Go inside and see my girls. Kira in a two piece, body fit to the GAWDS!!! How is this perfect being related to me?! How? Black Balmain pants sitting low on her perfectly narrowed waist, dancing off the glow of her caramel skin and eyelashes to high heavens the matching wrap around bell sleeved top is sitting perfect topped of with her signature Red bottoms (insert correct spelling here) and a Afro Angela Davis would be jealous of, she spots me and waves me over. As I proceed I see Monique, my fellow bronze goddess and her always fashionable self in the deepest rust color catsuit with her signature statement neckpiece, she keeps the flyest jewelry around her neck and on her fingers. Hair is always big and bouncy in a deep aurburn hue. Her shoes 6 inches always in jewel tones of deep purple, rust and maroon all 5'10 of her having a deep conversation with a very tall very handsome man probably sizing up his print if I know my girl. Reaching the table I'm embraced by my sister as well as Joel with her hair pulled up in a tight bun that makes her eyes slant and not one hair out of place. Her cappuccino colored skin flawless. Her military inspired jacket in a olive green also Balmain with a pale pink silk button down underneath and light blue 7 for all mankind jeans complimented by a pair of Gucci high heeled military style boots and Gabby in her signature pencil skirt and ruffle top with a peep toe 4 inch all by Yves St Laurent. They made me feel so good and also happy I decided to put some clothes on. I wear dresses. That's what I do. So of course my Diane Von Fursteinburg wrap dress all black sequins with a pair of all black sling backs. Hair in bouncy bob of curls. They already have drinks ordered. Patron!!!! And my food Fried Fish, Mac and Cheese, Collards and a side of Peach Cobbler. Watching Kira eat her Ceaser salad answers my question as to why she's snatched and I'm jealous. Lol Monique finally makes her way to the table all smiles and shit. Joel greets her "Hey Hoe, what nigga you got wrapped up now?" We all literally fall out laugh cuz we know it's true. That's what she and I do. We knock em down. If it feels right then it might be your lucky night. Kira then stops and says "Suns Iont know why yo hoe ass laughing didn't you just get fucked 30 minutes ago in the back seat of your car? I continue to die of laughter. Gabby says oh that's why you were late bitch. Yup. That's why. Tyson ass fell through in the parking garage and how could I say no? Joel says "Not Quiet creepy sex Tyson?" Bitch send him on his way with that mute shit! Back to laughter.....It's quiet but it's bomb though. Ugh. I just want to meet a man who is handsome, Successful, likes to travel and is nasty AS FUCK. The struggle is real y'all. Toledo ain't Detroit. It's slim pickings. Kira we going back to the shop after this? asks Gabby. Hell Naw bitch we playing in these streets. You know we all get touched up on Sundays and your hair looks fine. We kick it on Friday, Sweat it out on Saturday and Kira Hooks it the fuck up on Sunday. Stick to the routine!!! Monique says playfully. Gabby is the only married friend so we give her a hard time. But we love that she is happy and still makes time for us. Well what's the plan says Joel. This chick always needs plan. ALWAYS. Iont know why. She gone be late to it anyways. We're going to Club Reign 97.3 said it's gonna be everything and I need to be apart of that. Kira is conscious but she's not dead. We party hard!!! And Club Reign better look out!!! So as we sip our Patron, eat this bomb ass food and catch up, the time starts to slip away. By the time we look up we gotta make a mad dash if we want to get there before a crazy line forms. We don't do lines! Ever!!!! Are we driving together or separate? Asks Monique. Let's just all hop in our own cars and park them at the shop. We can't leave them here and Reign is only a block up from the my shop. Walk?! Are you serious says Joel. Yeah bougie ass, Kira replies. It's only one block and the snow hasn't gotten here yet so we good. We All agree and pull off. One fancy ass car after another. Once we reach the shop. We pull in to the parking lot of "A Queens Crown" Kira's shop and our Sunday Sanctuary. Monique hopes out of her Chevy Yukon (She likes EVERYTHING big) I hop out of the Audi Q5, Kira G-Wagon, Joel C Class Mercedes Benz and Gabby in her Beemer 600 series. We like nice things. And work harder to have them. But tonight baby is play time!!!

Well that whole no line thing just wasn't trying to happen. As we approach Reign we can already see the line. Joel, already mad that we walked lets out a sigh. Awwww shit I am not waiting in no damn lines. These Gucci's are not for standing. Shut up Joel. I got us. Monique makes her way to the front of the line. Monique and Kira have Major pull in the D. Monique pretty much dresses the whose who and one mention from her blog can make you a local star. People know that. And it's hard to miss a curvy damn near 6ft beauty like herself. One look at her face and the bouncer knew playtime was over.

She whispered a few things to him and just like that she was waving us to come on in. Hostile crowd and all. They must not know we give zero fucks about pissing y'all off. As we enter the music is pounding and Migo's is giving me my entire life!! We instantly all start dancing. As we show off our dance moves and look around we all mouth over the music "Where the hell is Monique?" We all look around and see her securing a VIP table. She isn't playing tonight I say. She is on it. We walk over and place our drink orders. Patron please we say in unison. The waiter laughs at the way it came out. Sounding like a off key R&B group. While we're in VIP we can see everything. This place is NICE. We definitely don't have this in Toledo. But that's my love for my home town. It's where you raise your family but close enough to get to where you can have the time of your life and be whatever and whoever you want to be. All of sudden it's like the seas parted and my eyes gazed upon the most handsome man I've seen with my own 2 eyes. 6'4. Chocolate. Perfect Teeth. A basketball players build. Pretty much ticked off everything on my check list. Just fine AF. So of course I gotta run his resume. I turn to Kira and Monique as they trade shot for shot. Monique, Kira WHO IS HE?! That's Kingston Monroe says Kira. He's the President of Basketball Operations for The Detroit Pistons. He was being interviewed on Wake Up Detroit one day while I was styling the crew. So you mean he's hot and successful? He's gotta be married. I'm not sure love but I don't think so. Never spotted a ring. Nah he's not married chimed in Monique. But he is super selective and I know a few girls who he's taken to bed but them bitches still waiting on return phone calls. We all laugh. But I'm intrigued. I love a mystery man. Now I'm used to going to get what I want. But this time I'm gonna just let it pass. I don't need a bunch of BS in my life. We focus back on our girls night and get back to trading shots. I mean the amount of liquor we consume is outrageous. And Kira done wooed the bar owner so I doubt our tab will be high if anything. I gotta go to the restroom Gabby yells. Suns come with me please?! Sure baby. I need to move around anyway. This dress was made to be seen baby!! She grabs my hand cuz that's what girls do and we walk into the bathroom. This bathroom is huge and beautiful. I love the industrial fixtures. Exposed brick sand pipes. Beautiful cherry wood floors. Even had a bathroom attendant. I dance in place while Gabby uses the ladies room. As we exit she's asking me about regular shit and we're laughing and dancing all the way back to VIP. On the way there I peep Joel on the dance floor having the drunken time of her life. This is the kind of night we all need. One to be free to do whatever and laugh, drink, dance and talk shit. Walking up to our table we notice a crowd forming at the table before ours. Gabby and I wait and wait and wait. Now patience is not my strong suit. So finally I tap one of the rude patrons and say Excuse me sir but usually when men see pretty ladies they don't make them wait. Now either your no sir or we aren't pretty and the last part can't be true. So if you don't mind I'd like to get to my table. The whole tables stops and looks at me like I have 5 heads. I look back at Gabby she looks just as lost as I am. Then the "dude" replies. My apologies ma'am. But an excuse me would have worked out just as well. Just as I'm about to get my check on Monique walks over and says "Come on girl we ain't here for this shit today". She was right. So I let it pass. Little rude ass fuck boy I say under my breath. Back to my sister circle. Gabby was all dancing and grooving. She never does to much. But she was letting her hair down tonight. I love when she lets loose. Monique, Kira and I were looking for Joel so we could duck off somewhere and hit the swisher. I'm no pro but I dabble a little. When a anonymous bottle arrives at our table. I stop the waiter to ask who it's from and it's from Mr. rude ass. He comes over and we find out his name is Kevin. He plays for the Pistons and he has his eye on Kira. Kira looks so shocked but we walk over to say thanks. Cuz although he pissed me off I'm still a lady. Kira leads the conversation by extending our thanks. Kevin looks like he's the one star struck. I told y'all my sister was a baddie!!! As she sparks up a playful conversation with him I hear so your the pretty lady who likes to pop off huh? I snicker and offer my apologies. I didn't mean to be rude I say. Then I find out that voice belonged to the one and only Kingston Monroe. I keep my cool cuz you never let em see you sweat and let the girls know I'm heading to the smoke spot. When he says ahh your a smoker. I'm like not really. Sometimes to take the edge off. He takes out a little wrapped box and says why smoke what you can eat? Come share a cookie with me beautiful. Now I'm super intrigued but Iont know this guy. Sure I heard his name but I don't know him. Before I can say no Monique pretty much pushes me in his lap. I turn like thirsty much?! We all laugh. So I let my guard down figuring if I die everyone will no who to blame right? Fuck it. Live a little Sunshine!!!
