When the ding sounded, noting the end of her message, my heart beat doubly fast and the repose state I was tossed into had been fully interrupted at this point.
“Who was that?”
With a dry mouth, I squealed, “My immediate punishment for the nasty shit I did with you tonight.”
I pushed off my right foot then slid out of the bathroom. “I need a boooooooy frieeeeend! And I need him right now,” I sang to the track, thrusting my hips.
The girls laughed, which was the reaction I was going for.
Corinne snapped her fingers and rolled her shoulders. “Huggin’, and fuckin’, and suckin’ you tight!”
“Never let him go!” Becky finished the chorus.
Laughing, Peach declared, “Y’all ain’t right!”
I continued my thrust then spun my way into Shizu’s living room where they’d been sitting.
“That looks good on you, Shi-Shi!” Shizu complimented. “I should take a pic and send it to my mom.”
“You know she’d love that,” Becky commented. “Any and everything Shi-Shi did was a wonder for Mrs. Kato.” She rolled her eyes playfully.
“Your hesitant, snobbish ass made her feel uncomfortable.” Shizu rolled her tight eyes, too. “Shi-Shi was always down for whatever.”
“I’m still down for whatever.” I managed a cartwheel in the modest space.
A few of them cheered me on.
“Damn. Sometimes I forget how much of an outlier I am among you bitches.” Corinne’s brows met.
Peach’s head bounced back. “Why you say that?”
“Because all of y’all have this history I wasn’t a part of until a few years ago when I met Shi-Shi.”
“Then that should prove how loving and inclusive we are as friends because I don’t even think about that.” Peach tried.
“I guess that’s true, Corinne,” Shizu agreed, seemingly not considering Peach’s stance.
“Yeah,” Corinne added. “You were all bridesmaids at Becky’s wedding. I was a damn guest.” We all laughed. I almost spit out my drink. “Who was your maid of honor, Becky? I was too embarrassed to ask that day and too drunk to remember to ask that night.”
“My sister, even though I hate the bitch.”
Corinne howled, Peach shook her head, and Shizu snickered while shaking her head.
“That’s that white people shit,” I commented.
“What?” Becky asked.
“Hating siblings,” I explained. “I could never! I loathed growing up an only child. In some ways, I think I willed Noelle’s annoying ass to life.”
“Yeah,” Shizu coughed. “Just to the wrong womb.”
Peach shook her head expressively. “Let’s not go there.”
She was right. That subject conjured bad memories and sad realities for us all.
I decided to share. “But before we get off the subject:shecalled last night—well, this morning actually.”
