it was cool sometimes, but every time they came out to play, Keno had to make sure that he shined the most. Though they were both the same height, they were completely different from each other. Where Taz was solid and thick, Keno was just as muscular but had a thinner lower body. Kenoâs hair was long and kept in braids like Redâs, whereas Tazâs hair was longer and kept in individual plaits.
What made Taz stand out the most were his eyes. His dark brown eyes could show you so much love, but at the snap of a finger they could show you much hate. You could read his every expression by looking into his eyes.
Kenoâs outgoing personality was irritating at times to Taz, but he loved him all the same. He chalked it up to Keno being the yin to his yang. Taz never let anyone too close, especially women. Keno, on the other hand, fell in love damn near every other day, and was very open about things, especially his personal life. That was definitely a no-no in Tazâs book, and he had to constantly stay on Kenoâs ass about certain things. Taz was not going for any of that shit when it came to his personal life.
Katrina and Paquita finally built up enough nerve to approach Taz.
Taz smiled as they slowly came toward him. I know these two crazy-ass hoes donât think they got a shot at the title! This is about to be some funny shit, he told himself.
Once they were standing in front of him, Paquita took charge. âWhatâs up, Taz? How ya been, baby?â
âLaid back. You know how I get down, âQuita. Whatâs up with you?â
âThe same olâ, same olâ. Just trying to make it out here in this cold, cold world.â
âIs that right? Whatâs up, Katrina? What, the cat got your tongue tonight?â
âUh-uh. But you can have it if you want it, Taz.â
Smiling, Taz asked, âCan I have everything I want?â
Stepping back slightly so that Taz could take a good look at her voluptuous figure, Katrina smiled and said, âItâs yours for the taking, baby. You name it, you got it, Taz!â
He was sipping his drink as she said this, and he damn near spit a mouthful of his expensive cognac all over her. He caught himself and said, âIâll have to take a rain check on you this time, boo. You know Iâm saving myself for that special lady.â
âThatâs fucked up, Taz! Why you trying to clown a sista? You know Iâve been wanting to get with your fine-ass!â whined Katrina.
With a shrug of his shoulders, Taz smiled and said, âBaby, I guess it just ainât meant to be. Look, let me buy you two a drink or somethinâ, huh?â
âThatâs cool, but can you do me a favor, Taz, please?â
Sighing, he asked, âWhat is it, âQuita?â
With a bright smile on her face, Paquita asked him, âCan you smile for me, Daddy?â
That got a smile out of him because he knew what she wanted to see. So, he smiled brightly and let her get a good look at the diamonds in his grille.
âDamn, baby! You the shit and you know it, huh?â
âNah, âQuita, Iâm just good olâ Taz, baby girl. Look, yâall go on and tell Winky to give yâall whatever yâall want. And make sure you keep this âtigerâ out of trouble, âQuita,â he said, referring to Katrina.
âI will, Taz. Come on, girl. Letâs go get our drink on.â
As they were walking away, Katrina put an extra swish into her big hips, and Taz started shaking his head and laughing at the same time. He turned around to check and see what his partners were getting into and noticed the baddest female that heâd seen in a very long time. I mean, just by looking at her, he felt himself stir down below. Who the fuck is that? he asked himself as he watched the sexy female enter the club with another female. Damn, sheâs sexy as hell! he thought as he sipped his drink and continued to stare
