Tess had a feeling of déjà vu as she, Iris, Vanessa, and Ebony counted and split the money in Tess’ townhouse in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.  Tess’ mind went to her man and how she missed him.  She sat and then started thinking of how all of this got started. 

             
Tess and Iris had been best friends since Kindergarten.  They met Vanessa and Ebony in high school when four girls tried to jump Vanessa and Ebony in the school yard.  Tess had seen the four girls surrounding these two girls and knew what time it was.  The leader of the group was a girl that Tess didn’t like either because she had problems with her too.  Keri was her name and she thought she was the shit and liked to pick on people and jump them. 

             
Without saying a word, Tess began to walk over towards where the group of girls were that were about to fight.  Iris was at her side with every step Tess made.  “Yo Tess, where are you going?” Iris asked.  Tess kept moving until she was standing by the two girls that were about to get jumped.  Tess liked the fact that they were outnumbered, but the two girls didn’t try to run.  It showed they had heart.

             
Keri looked Tess up and down and rolled her eyes, “Yo, what you doing over here?” Keri asked with an attitude.  “I’m about to fuck these bitches up,” Keri yelled.

“You ain’t about to fuck no one up bitch.”  One of the gir
ls that stood next to Tess said.

“Yo
Keri, why you always trying to jump someone?” Tess replied.

“Mind your fucking business.  This has nothing to do with your Guyanese ass,” Keri said.

With one swift move, Tess punched Keri in the nose and then in the mouth. All of Keri’s girls were about to jump Tess until the two girls that stood next to her attacked them first, kicking and punching Keri’s girls.  Out of nowhere, Iris rushed Keri knocking her to the ground where Tess stood.  They stomped her out until she wasn’t moving anymore and then they went to help the other two girls beat up Keri’s crew. 

They whipped Keri’s
crew’s ass until the school security guards came and stopped the fight.  All the girls got suspended from school for two weeks.  It turned out one of the girls in Keri’s crew had a broken jaw and another had a broken arm.

Later on that day the two girls that were about to get jumped by Keri, walked up to Tess and Iris after school, “You didn’t have to do that,” the light skinned girl said to Tess.

“Yeah that was some real shit though,” the dark skinned one added.

“By the way, my name is Vanessa,” the light skinned one said. “And this is my sister, Ebony.”

Iris and Tess asked at the same time, “You’re sisters?  You don’t even look alike and you’re the same age.  That’s crazy.”

“We have different mothers. 
That’s why Ebony is dark skin. Our father thinks he’s a player.  We were born around the same time, but I’m three months older than Ebony,” Vanessa said.  “Our father raised us because both of our mothers are on crack.  We don’t know even know where they are, but any way, thank you for helping us,” Vanessa said.

“Yo, ya’ll want to go and hang out or something?” Iris asked Vanessa and Ebony.

“Yeah, I’m cool with that,” Vanessa said.

From that day on, Tess, Iris, Vanessa, and Ebony were always together.  Everybody heard what they did to Keri and her crew and no one ever thought of fucking with them after that, or so they thought.

Shit Gets Thick

Chapter 3

             
A month after the fight with Keri and her crew Tess, Iris, Vanessa, and Ebony were walking home from school, “Yo Tess, me and Ebony are going to the Chinese restaurant.  Do you want anything?” Vanessa asked.

             
“Nah!  Iris and I are good.  We’re heading to my house.  You two coming by later?” Tess asked.

              “Yeah girl,” Ebony replied.

             
The girls went their separate ways.  As Tess and Iris turned the corner, they were met by Keri and her Jamaican boyfriend, D-Low.  D-Low was the neighborhood weed man.  He was twenty two years old and loved fucking young girls because women his age weren’t giving him any play unless he gave them real money like to pay their bills.  D-Low wasn’t with that.  He was cheap and liked to keep his money to himself.  Besides all he had to do with the young girls was to give them some weed and buy them some sneakers and then the pussy was all his. 

             
D-Low had been trying to get with Tess and Iris sexy asses for a while now, but they knew his games and weren’t giving him any play.  He wasn’t getting any pussy from them for a pair of sneakers and some money.  So, Keri was the next best thing for him.  Keri told D-Low that Tess and Iris had jumped her, which was only part of the story of what really had gone down.  D-Low was happy to hear this.  It gave him the opportunity and reason to beat their asses for not giving him any play.  He’d use that Keri got jumped as an alibi so the street wouldn’t talk and think he was a cornball that got mad because he couldn’t get with either of them.

             
Tess and Iris looked D-Low up and down wondering what this fool wanted.  Then they glanced over and saw Keri and they knew what time it was.  Tess thought to herself, ‘this bitch didn’t learn her lesson yet!’

             
“Yo, what the fuck up with you bitches jumping my girl?” D-Low yelled.

             
“Ain’t no one jumped your fucking girl,” Iris replied.

             
“Yeah, she just got her ass whipped that’s all,” Tess added.

             
“Fuck you, Tess,” Keri yelled.

             
“Oh!  So, now that your man is here you got heart,” Tess yelled.  Iris and Tess started laughing hysterically.

             
D-Low got pissed and punched Tess in the face making her fall back. “Laugh now bitch,” D-Low said as he jabbed Tess in the jaw then her stomach.

             
Iris spit out a razor from her mouth and with all her might she swung the razor at D-Low’s face.  The razor cut through his face like a hot knife on butter.

             
“AAHHH!” D-Low yelled. 

             
He picked Iris up and slammed her on the ground and started stomping her with his feet.  Tess pulled out an orange box cutter from her back pocket and cut D-Low across his arm.  D-Low punched her so hard she saw stars and fell to the ground next to Iris.  Keri moved in and started stomping both girls with D-Low.  Tess and Iris were curled up in a ball trying to cover their heads.

             
“You bitches want to cut me. I’ll kill you,” D-Low yelled with every kick.

             
Coming from down the block, Bless could see D-Low and Keri stomping Tess and Iris.  Bless had seen Tess around the way and was feeling her, but never stepped to her.  He was too busy making money and running the streets, but his anger grew as he watched D-Low beat Tess and Iris like they were men.  Bless pulled his 38 revolver from his waistband and ran and struck D-Low in the back of the head with it. 

             
“AAHH!” D-Low yelled as he hit the ground. 

             
Bless then hit Keri in the jaw with the gun making her cry and fall backwards.  Bless began to pistol whip D-Low with the gun making him cry until he begged him to stop.  Tess and Iris got off the ground and attacked Keri kicking and punching her to the ground until there was blood on the ground.  Tess looked over at Bless and saw he was still pistol whipping D-Low, so she started kicking D-Low in the ribs. 

             
“Take that motherfucker,” Tess yelled as she kicked him. 

             
Bless stood up with blood all over him and looked D-Low in the eyes.  “Open your fucking mouth,” Bless ordered.  D-Low did what he was told and Bless put the barrel of the long 38 revolver in D-Low’s mouth.  “If you ever or if I ever, see you touch them again. I’ll kill you.”

             
D-Low was older than Bless, who was only sixteen, but the street was talking about Bless and how he was coming up fast in the crack game.  The word on the streets was this young thug already killed six people and from the look in his eyes D-Low knew it was true.  He had no plans on being his seventh victim.  Lights from cop cars could be seen from down the block.

             
“Come on follow me,” Bless said to Tess and Iris. 

             
Tess looked back to see the cop cars getting closer.  Iris and Tess started to follow Bless. They walked four blocks down really fast to a house on Dean Street.  Bless opened the door that led to a basement apartment.  Iris and Tess looked at each other as they were standing in the doorway.  Bless looked back at them and said, “Listen, I don’t bite and I won’t hurt you.”  So they stepped in.

             
Bless’s apartment was decked out with the finest things money could buy.  His furniture was a cream color that matched the rug.  He had a sixty two inch TV in the living room.  Tess started to wonder how a sixteen year old could afford all of that, but she already knew the answer.  She had seen Bless around the way and thought he was a sexy, chocolate brother.  She always wondered why he never tried to holler at her like all the other hustlers.

             
“Both of you, please, sit down on the couch,” he said. 

             
They did what he asked.  Bless went into the bathroom and came back out with clean washcloths and two bowls of warm water.  He kneeled down in front of Tess and dipped the washcloth in the water and began wiping the wounds on her face and arm, cleaning away all the blood.  Tess was shocked to see that this young man with so much rage and power could be so gentle. After he was finished wiping Tess down, he went over to Iris and did the same thing to her.  Both girls watched him as he got up and went into his bedroom.  Bless took off the bloody clothes he had on and put on some blue jeans and a tank top.  He came back out with some weed and blunts.

             
“Yo, do you know how to roll?” he asked Tess.  Tess shook her head no.

             
“I do,” Iris said.  Bless passed the weed and blunt to Iris to roll while he turned on the TV and put the movie ‘Friday’ in the VCR. 

             
They sat and smoked and laughed while watching the movie and shared things about their lives.  Tess learned that the house they were in belonged to Bless’ grandmother, who lived upstairs, and she let him stay in the basement by himself.  She learned that his mother was a crack head, who ran away when he was born.  She had him at the age of sixteen.  His father was a big time drug dealer in Brownsville, but started using his own drugs and became a dope head.  Bless met him a few times, but wanted nothing to do with him because his grandmother told him that his father was the reason that her daughter was a crack head and now he’ll never know his mother.

             
Tess looked over at Iris to see that she was asleep from smoking weed.  “So, Bless, why did you come and help us today?” Tess asked.

             
“Oh, on some real shit I’m not even going to lie to you.  I’ve been seeing you around the way.  I was feeling you and I like the fact that you don’t give any of these dudes around here any play.  So, I knew you were different, but I was always too busy to holla at you.  Today, when I seen D-Low beating you like you was a man, I flipped out and let my emotions get the best of me,” Bless responded.

             
“So, do you regret it?” Tess asked.

             
“No Mami, I don’t and I’ll do it again if I have to,” Bless replied.

             
“Bless, I’ve been feeling you too and I used to wonder why you never hollered at me.  Now, I know why,” Tess said.  Tess bent over next to him and kissed him deeply and passionately.

             
Bless picked her up in his arms and carried her to his bedroom where he laid her on the bed to kiss every part of her body as he started to remove all of her clothes down to her lingerie.  Tess released soft, light moans. 

             
“Baby, let’s make up for all the lost time,” Tess said highly aroused. 

             
“Ssshh, I got you baby,” Bless replied.

             
He kissed her down to her blue lace panties as he slid them off her as they were clinched in his mouth.  He kissed her back up between her legs and between her thighs and licked until he reached her clit.  He gave her clit one long suck and Tess let out a loud moan.  He got up unbuckled his jeans, pulling them down to reveal his big hard dick.  All Tess could think was, ‘Damn, that shit is thick and long’. 

             
She sat right up and stopped him from penetrating her after he pulled a condom on.  She took his dick in her hands and then slowly put her mouth all over it, not missing a spot of his manhood.  She let go with her hands and began sucking, slurping, and deep-throating his dick like a professional porn star.  Bless after a while couldn’t take it anymore and gently pushed her off.  She lay on her back and he entered her slowly.  At a slow pace he penetrated her love box, speeding up after seeing a white cream all over the condom.

             
“Oh, daddy, I’ll never leave you!” Tess yelled.

             
“You better not.  This is my pussy!”  That was the first time they made love and they learned each other’s body.  From that day on, Bless was her man and Tess was his woman.
