“Sheee has to… stand up… for herseeeelf,” Eli stated once again, his eyes glued onto his iPad. “Pee-pull will hurt… you… if they… thiiink… they can.”

Iris and Ayanna’s eyes lit up, just like many other peoples did when Eli proved he was quite aware of the world he lived in.

“That’s true, Eli.” Iris sighed. “I told her as much, but Ayanna is kind of small, and they take that as a weakness. They’re jealous because she’s a good student, and I put her in nice clothes. I ain’t got no money, but if people think you got even a little somethin’, they’ll make it hard on you.”

“It’s the car,” Ayanna blurted as she scratched the side of her head. “They’re jealous ’cause you got that new car and drop me off in it, and when I had Kasey over, she saw all the new stuff in our apartment and told people that my room looked pretty, stuff like that.”

“Oh, so this is my fault?” Jude teased, making them both laugh. “You don’t have to apologize or be sorry for havin’ a room that is fitting for a princess, and a decent spot to lay your head. I told your mama, I mean, your aunt Iris, Ayanna, that I’ll do whatever she needs to help y’all move closer to me when the school year is done. When you get to a more affluent area, you won’t have these problems no more. Just hang in there, all right? Just a few more months to go.”

“Okay. Thanks again for the nice furniture and the TV for my room.”

“You’re quite welcome. With the grades your aunt told me you make, and how nice you are, you definitely deserved it.”

She got to blushing again. “I’m going to the bathroom, Auntie. I’ll be right back.”

“Okay, baby.” Iris crossed her legs and sat back in her chair, holding her drink and watching everyone bowl.

Jude found himself staring at her a lot that evening. She looked so damn beautiful in her sparkly hot pink shirt, tight blue jeans, sneakers, and large silver hoop earrings. Her hair was straightened and parted on the side, seeming double its usual length. He liked how versatile she was with her clothing, makeup, nails and hairstyles. Some days, she wore her hair in a scarf, Erykah Badu style. Other days, she had it in twists or braids, or left it hanging in a wild, soft, and beautiful curly mane. Some days she wore little to no makeup, and other times, she was all dolled up like she was entering a pageant. He loved that shit.

It kept things even more exciting. He’d even joked with her one evening that he got to sleep with a different woman every time they made love. And he made damn sure that they fucked often. Iris had a high sex drive that matched his, and she knew how to move her body, kiss him, touch him. He had not one damn complaint.

“I-riiis,” Eli called out.

“Yes, Eli?”

“Yooou, don’t need… to come by… too-mor-roooow.”

“Why not?”

“I… got… comp…comp…pan…knee.”

“You got company, huh?” She grinned. “Do I know them?”

“Nooo… Sheee’s new. We… met. We’re… dat-ting. Weee… talk on…tha…phone. Sheee’s…at…a dif-frent…home.”

“Oh, that’s nice. So y’all have like get-togethers and what not with other places.” Eli nodded. “So, she’s comin’ to visit you tomorrow?”

“Mmm hmm.”

“You two going to watch some television and maybe have a nice dinner in the dining hall?”

“Yesss. Aaaand… then goooo… to my… bed… to have… seeexxx.”

Iris’ eyes nearly bucked out of her head, and her face turned a million shades of red. Jude burst out laughing and shook his head. Eli seemed unphased by her reaction and kept playing his game with little to no concern.

“Iris, come on.” He threw up his hand. “You didn’t think Eli was a virgin, now did you? He’s twenty-eight damn years old. He lost that shit when he was like seventeen.”

“Siiiix…teen,” Eli corrected.

She burst in giggles of shock and awkwardness.

“For your information, my concerns do not revolve around Eli’s sex life, or lack thereof. Thank you very kindly.” She smirked, then rolled her eyes.

“Well, he has no problem gettin’ women, and in fact, Eli is picky,” he said. “He even keeps a stash of condoms. I should know, I buy ’em for him, and when he runs out, I get him more. Last year, he used a whole box of thirty of ’em in about two weeks… some girl named Samantha. They was goin’ at it like rabbits.”

“Sheeee… was wiiild.” Eli grinned wide, showing all of his teeth. “Very good kiss-ser… laaarge breastssss. Bouncy… bouncy!”

Jude clapped, egging the man on.
