myself!”
Julez was taken aback by her pointed finger and defensive state.
“ What?” He questioned, clueless.
She giggled and began to peel a potato.
“ Oh, nothing.” She felt silly.
“ What?” He asked again, laughing.
“ No…I just thought… Well, I thought you were gonna do me like Slim do…tell me I don’t need to be eating all that stuff. But I swear, first thing Monday I’m starting that new diet that Noelle printed out for me.”
Julez rolled his eyes and then looked around, noticing that she had straightened up the kitchen.
“ Jordin, you’re not fat.”
She shook her head and continued her task.
“ I aint skinny.”
“ You shouldn’t wanna be.”
Jordin heard him but she was more than conscious of the twenty or thirty pounds that she could stand to lose. She wasn’t sloppy, but she was thick, balancing between a size 10 and sometimes a 12. She was gorgeous though, her light caramel skin, big brown eyes, and naturally long hair that hung down her back were all features that she knew compensated for not having the ideal body. Plus she had a smile that could light up a room and was sweet as pie. She looked up and saw Julez looking at her as she continued to peel.
“ You look good, Jordin.”
The way he said it caused her to look down, and she blushed lightly but kept a straight face, not even giving a second thought to it.
“ Thanks Julez.”
And These Are the Days of Our Lives
Everyone always asks, how do you end up with your best friend’s man? They say some things should just never happen. And I guess for it to be even considerable, there would have to be some excruciating circumstances. Some weird twists of fate or some ill plots of destiny would have had to occur. Well, this is how it happened.
The Next Morning
“ Well, I’ll be sure to tell him before he leaves out Miss Augustine.”
“ Mmm hmm, just like the last time you made sure to tell him… right, Miss Noelle ?”
Noelle sighed deeply and pursed her lips before responding into the phone to Julez’s old as dirt but still ridiculously sassy grandmother. Between his mother and her, they drove Noelle crazy on a daily basis, all the way from Tennessee.
“ Miss Augustine, I want to let you know that I do relay your messages. Julez is just always so busy, he forgets sometimes to return his calls.”
Noelle could smell Miss Augustine’s doubt before she even answered, and it was well justified. Noelle was lying through her teeth.
“ Mmm hmm, lies child, lies. I know my grandson, and he’s always covering for you. The only one who forgets anything over there is you . Just like you forget to keep a steady household and forget to cook a decent meal for your husband. What in the lord child has come over the women this day and age?” She seemed to ask this question to the lord himself and not to Noelle. And just as Noelle was about to interfere and give her a piece of her mind in response, Slim walked into the kitchen in his Carthart construction gear, looking sexy as ever.
“ Miss Augustine…” Noelle had to take a brief pause when she felt Slim standing closely behind her; his warm breath tickling the back of her neck. “Miss Augustine, I…I will uhm… shit …,” she murmured softly when he pinched her nipple through her camisole. Noelle was still dressed in the short shorts and tank top that she had wore to bed. No lingerie for the birthday boy had taken place. “Miss Augustine…I’ll…I’ll tell him to call you.”
She disconnected the call before any more cries of passion escaped her lips and she turned to face Slim with lust in her eyes.
“ How’d you sleep?” She asked softly, as if he were her husband.
