The Return

A summer afternoon in 1980 Young Slishy is running down the stairs with his baseball glove. He gets to the 7th step stops and jumps down to the bottom of the stairs. Mom hears him and says" Sliiiiiishy !!!! What I tell you about jumping down those stairs! One deh yuh a go bruk yuh neck!!! Where are you running off too" Slishy responds " I'm going to the bank parking lot to play baseball" Mom " Slishy yuh better be careful! Last time you played in there you broke a window and your daddy not only had to replace it but install it as well. He was not happy ! Better not let him catch you in there ! Slishy " Yes Mommy" Mom " Make sure you get home in time for dinner 6 pm yuh her me! Young Slishy pushes open the screen door and says " Yes Mommy" and runs to the parking lot so he can practice before the game starts.


Young Slishy gets to the parking lot to find that everyone is already there. As he squeeezes through the fence and jogs down the mini hill. He notices an unfamiliar face. They make eye contact. Young Slish gives him a nod, keeps going and greets the rest of the gang. Young Slishy " Hey Chubbs who's that kid standing by himself giving everyone the screwface" Chubbs shrugs his shoulders and responds " Don't know. He just showed up. Hasn't said anything to anybody. If you ask me. I think he's crazy" Slishy shakes his head from side to side and says " How would you know. " Slishy walks over to brother from another planet and says " I know you? " Stranger doesn't answer and turns his head from side to side Slishy " You look familiar. You live on this block ?" Stranger nods yes . His hat is covering his eyes so Young Slishy bends down a little to see what his whole face looks like and says " Whats your name? " Stranger looks up but doesn't smile and responds " Fondu " Slishy" What kind of name is Fondu? Never heard that before, Thats a weird name. Anyway we're about to play baseball. You know how ? " Fondu just nods Slishy " Okay you can be on my team. FELLAS!!!! The new kid is gonna be on my team" Slishy hands Fondu his glove and says " Lets see if you can catch " Fondu smiles takes the glove, runs to the other side of the lot. Slishy throws the ball to him. Fondu drops it.. Slishy yells "Thats okay you'll get better " Fondu got better and like Childs Play we became friends till the end.

July 25th 2006 I'm at work waiting for someone to jump out of the coat closet and say " You've been punked!!! Cause this job sucks ! Every patient I have to interview either overdosed or too old to speak. My phone rings I pick up" Patient accounts this is Mr Slish." Voice on the other end says " Hello Mr Slish this is Mr Fondu " Oh Shit!!! Bloggers how strange is that! Glad he doesn't read this blog. I respond " Hey dude. " Fondu " I called and left you a message yesterday. You didn't return it" Slasher is thinking " SO WHAT NIGGA!!!!! I respond " Been kinda busy " Fondu responds " I understand . So How you been? " I say " Things are great. I met my Future and found all of the missing pieces to my puzzle. How you been ?" Fondu responds " Still working both jobs. Working full time at my part time job right now since work for electricians is slow. Other than that i'm well. " Awkward silence for about 30 seconds I say " Fondu. I know you and I have had our ups and downs. Our relationship is toxic to say the least. But for some reason we've remained friends for 26 years. Why? Who knows ? Maybe I was placed here on this planet to be your conscience. I say that because you've always made me feel like I was being an asshole when I tried to get you to live right" Fondu interjects " I understand Slish " I say " No! I don't think you do. I have love for all my boys and want everyone of us to be the kind of men our children and future children will look up to. So chastising you about your behavior was not me trying to control your life, or judge you. I care about your well being and want the best for you and all my amigos. Why show contempt for the ones who care about you. I care dog thats all " Awkward silence again Fondu responds " I hear you loud and clear Slish. Yo. One evening me, you and Phantom should get together for a drink " I smile and respond " Yeah lets do just that. "


Friends till the end ? We'll see.

Evolved

Evolve. Everyone does sooner or later. August 2005 it happpened to me. I evolved into a creature that needed positive energy to sustain itself. Too much negative energy caused this creature to lose focus. Without focus anything positive went unnoticed.

Fondu's presence in my life was draining me. He called me daily to vent about his mistress"

"Slish why couldn't things have remained the same, "

"I want penile implants. I Know that Blaack Muthafucka has a bigger dick than me."

"Slish I went to the park today, got out of my car, opened the trunk and looked at the clean sheets my mistress and I would use when we went to the tele. I cried when I realized I haven't used them in months "

"Son I can't do it. I know I should let her go but I can't . I- I- I feel like I just want it all to end."

I say " WHAT!!! are fucking kidding me! Get a grip. Sounds like you're about to get careless and do some dumb shit. Go home to your wife Fondu! Your mistress has moved on. Fondu " Slish I know, but I love her . Why can't things just be the same" I yell " FONDU!!!! Listen to me !!! LET - THIS - WOMAN - GO!!!!!! Fondu " I'll talk to you later Slish " He hangs up


I immediately call my boy Phantom " Yo Fondu about to do something stupid" Phantom laughing " What that crazy nigga up to now" I respond " This shit aint funny. I think he might hurt himself " Phantom " Whoa Whoa Whoa HOLD UP!! He tell you that ? I respond " Lets put it this way. This nigga is at a park RIGHT NOW!!! Crying over the fact he hasn't used some fucking sheets" Phantom " Slish what the fuck are you talking about. What sheets ! " I respond "The sheets he and his mistress use when they go to the motel to bone! Phantom is laughing real loud now and says " Thats yo boy. Glad he don't call me with that bullshit. " I say " We need to do something. Fondu needs an intervention " Phantom " Correction we don't need to do shit " I say " C mon Phantom !!! If he gets careless and his wife catches him. Thats his ass. His marriage will be over, she will take him for the pennies he's got including those 3 houses. Besides your trained to handle situations like this " Phantom responds " The msw program i'm in does not train me to keep psychotic friends from cheating on their wives. " I rub my forehead, close my eyes briefly and respond "This shit has to end Phantom. I'm calling the mistress! " Phantom " You buggin!!! Don't do it Slish! He'll resent you for it" I respond " Fine! Wouldn't be the first time. Besides its a win win. I call the Mistress, tell her how Fondu is behaving, she gives him his walking papers or she tells him I called her, he gets angry and never speaks to me again. WIN WIN !! Phantom " I've trained you well. "


So that day I called Fondu's mistress. Surprisingly we had a very pleasant conversation. She told me that she recently got engaged to the Big Blaaaack Muthafucka and that she and Fondu are only friends. Nothing more. I explained to her that Fondu does not see it that way and is behaving irrationally and she needs to clarify to him that their relationship is over. She agreed and swore she would not tell Fondu I called.


The calls stop coming from Fondu shortly after I had that conversation with his mistress. As matter of fact he wasn't even calling me to say whats up. Seemed like my plan had worked. After all I knew the mistress would tell.

August 2005 We all had to go to Phantoms wedding in Jamaica. Fondu and I somehow reconnect at Phantoms bachelor party. I offered him and his wife a ride to the airport since I already arranged to park The Batmobile there while we were away. He accepted but probably out of neccessity Phantoms wedding broke both our pockets.

I get to his house the morning of our trip. I get out of my car to open the trunk and help him and his Lady Love with their bags. Lady Love goes back into the house to get some more luggage. Fondu looks up at the doorway to see if she's coming and whispers to me " I should fucking bury you. " OH SHIT!!! This is going to be a loooong trip" His wife comes back out the house. His frown turns into a smile and he gives me a pound " Yo I really appreciate you doing this for me. You're a good friend. " This cat is going to throw me off the fucking plane !!!!

5 hours later we're in paradise and on a bus headed to Ochi Rios. Fondu " So Slish what happened? How come you came to Phantom's wedding by yourself ? " I respond " Couldn't find the right person to go with me. Can't take some random chick to your best friends wedding which happens to be in Paradise. She might fall in love." Fondu " Thats your problem Slish you're too damn picky. You will always be alone. Look at me. I have a beautiful wife , property and I make more money than you do. You want what I have " I shake my head and take a sip of my hennessy "Slasher don't answer this nigga he looking for trouble"

I somehow knew this would happen probably why I decided not to stay in the Hotel with the rest of Phantom's guests. I avoided Fondu for most of the trip. If we had to be in the same room I made sure I stood next to his wife. Fondu couldn't say anything slick while she was around.

Wedding day. I do my job as the Best Man. I make sure Phantom gets dressed and to the alter on time. I must say I did a damn good job. I made my speech and the crowd went " Awwwww thats so sweet" Phantoms bride turns to him and says " Baby did you really say everything you did to better yourself you did for me? " Phantom nods and kissses his bride. I take my seat next to Phantom. Heeeere comes Fondu with this shitty grin on his face. Its obvious he's drunk. He congratulates the bride and groom then makes his way over to me " Great job. You really are the best man " He shakes my hand and squeezes it reeeeal tight. This muthafucka!!!! I start hearing that Incredible Hulk music again. Before I knew it I had Blacked out!!! The Slasher had taken control of the steering wheel.


The Slasher gets up from his seat and spots Fondu by the bar. " Can I talk to you outside ." Fondu follows the Slasher Slasher " Whats your problem! " Fondu responds " Problem? I have no problem with you" Slasher " Bullshit nigga you been taking verbal jabs at me since we set foot on this Island ! " Fondu " Slish why don' you tell me why I've been taking verbal jabs at you " RIGHT THEN IT HITS ME!!!! This muthafucka don't know shit ! He suspects but has nothing concrete to prove it!!! Slasher plays along and responds " Tell me what I did. " Fondu's face gets tight!!! because he realizes that I am not going to confess and tell him I spoke with his mistress about ending their relationship. " Why Slish? You were like a brother. You betrayed me " I feel a hint of guilt and Slish starting to wake up. Slasher slaps the shit out of Slish and says " I betrayed you! You betray yourself daily! You betray your wife! Your friends and family by making them cover for you! I point over to his wife who is clueless to what is going on and say " You betray that woman over there!!! Who somehow believes that you will ride or die together!" Fondu yells back " Then go over there and tell my wife everything you're telling me right now ! " I say" Hmph!! Thats what what you want. Make me the bad guy so you can walk away from a marriage you never wanted in the first place. That my friend is true evil. You are an evil man. When we get back to the states This friendship is over! Fondu smirks and responds " You don't mean that Slish " I respond Oh I mean it ! Its time you fought that demon that lives inside of you by yo DAMN SELF!!!!!


I evolved that day people . I evolved into a man with a conscience

Stand Up!!!

For years people have said to me " Slish you talk too much. You always telling somebody' s business or sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong " Truth about it is. The business is always about something they shouldn't be doing in the first place. Problem with my personality is I can't watch someone do fucked up shit to someone else and just stand around or do nothing. Now the funny thing is Slish is always the one saying " Keep it to yourself don't get involved " The Slasher on the other hand will take action and Fight for Truth, Justice, and The American way.


Friday night Clipperman calls me while i'm at my part time job. Clipperman " Slish I bought the 60 gig Ipod. Still gonna be able to uplaod your playlist tonight? I look at the clock on the computer screen its says 9: oo pm I respond " Meet me in the Bronx at 10 pm " Clipperman sounding excited says " Thank you sir !!! " I finish up what I'm doing and head for the bx.


10:o6 pm I get to the Bronx and drive to the location where Clipperman stated he would be. I pull up to his van. He's in there chit chatting with his boy Drizzy. Drizzy says " What up gay boy. " I laugh, ignore his comment and respond " Can't call it. Haven't seen you in a while. Where you been ? " Drizzy responds" I 've been right here in the Bizonx just been laying low. Btw Slish whats with the no mustache. Looking like a circumcised penis." Clipperman busts out laughing. I respond "OOOh I see where this is going. Let me park my car." I get out, walk over to the van and rest my elbows on the drivers side window. " Drizzy you do realize that you used the word Gay and circumcised penis in back to back sentences. Clipperman starts to giggle cause he knows i'm warming up. Drizzy trying to make an exit says " Aiight fellas I gotta go. Waking up early in the morning" I say " Oh yeah for what? " Drizzy " Going to Va in the morning " Slasher responds " What for? " Drizzy " going to visit someone " THAT RIGHT THERE!!! Was the wrooooong answer. Slasher responds " You're going to see someone ? Not I'm going to see my family or I'm going to see some chick. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOMEONE!!! Clipperman starts the chuckle a little more. I say " Why be so secretive pretty boy. What you hidin! Drizzy responds " I'm going to see a chick." I look at clipperman and say " Riiight African!!! Drizzy " Aiight Slish I'm out " Clipperman and I start laughing real hard now I say " Aiight bruh Peace"

We're still laughing then Clipperman's cell phone starts to buzz. He looks at it. His smile turns into a frown. I laugh and say " Thats gotta be your lady." Clipperman nods and answers " Hello . No i'm with Slish and Drizzy . No i'm not avoiding you !! Cmooooon !! No i'm not up to anything !!! LOOK i'm with my people I will call you back ! " He hangs up " Slish she been driving me crazy all week!! I respond " Follow me back to my crib so we get these songs on your ipod I don't have time to hear any bullshit reason for her anger towards you tonight.

10 minutes later we're in my crib i'm downloading all my music files to his ipod. Clipperman cell phone starts to buzz again He sighs looks up at the ceiling and picks it up " Yes!! No i'm still with Slish and Drizzy " When he said that I turned around thinking why is he lying for no reason. We left drizzy 20 minutes ago. Clipperman continues " I am not avoiding you. Yes I know I haven't seen you since Sunday WHY!!! Cause i've been stressed and when i'm stressed I like to be alone " I laugh to myself because thats clipperman's favorite line to a woman when he's trickin " he hangs up " Slish I don't know why she's flippin like this. " I respond " I know why. She knows " Clipperman responds " Knows what? About me going to Cali this weekend with the chick I told you about " I respond " Yup " Clipperman's ignorant ass says " How could she know ? " I say " ASSHOLE ! They always know. She calling because she's annoyed at the fact that she does know but has no proof. Therfore she cannot accuse you of anything. So instead she'll find something else to nit pick about. Throw you off your game, causing you to get pissed, careless and BAM BUSTED!!!! " Clipperman laughs and responds " Slish you're giving her too much credit" I respond " See!! That right there is your problem. You think women are stupid. You can't just pick up and go to Cali with another woman for 4 days and expect your lady to sit at home and believe you're stressed and need time alone. She knows Nigga!!!! " Clipperman " Fuck it! I need to get away and this chick is paying for the whole damn thing! How could I say no to that ! " I respond " I hope you been doing tongue exercises " Clipperman looks puzzled " Why would I have to do tongue exercises? " Cause you're definitly licking some pussy this weekend. You were bought and paid for. Don't you feel cheap ? Clipperman starts laughing and responds " Whatever lets go to the diner and get something to eat"


Bloggers. Clipperman is my boy and I got love for him, but he's an Ass. My personality will not allow him to treat women this way. Now its not because i'm in love. I just feel that men like Clipperman can cause so much damage to a womans psyche that when a real man comes along with good intentions and real dreams. She's so wounded that she interprets his good nature as game. Therefore dismissing or pushing the poor guy away.

I'm calling out!!! To all the Brothas out there. Fuck this Guy Code we have about infidelity. No. You don't have to rat yo boy out, but you can help him see the error of his ways. Things are hard enough for Black folks already. We can't trust our white counterparts at all so why mistrust one another. Black women need Black men. SO STAND UP!!! Tell your boy who's married to hang out with you instead of that fat ass chick that works at his job. STAND UP!!! and tell your buddy to stop using you as an alibi when he's cheating on his lady. STAND UP! and STOP listening to their stories about extracurricular activities. It only encourages them. Its time to rebuild people. We can't do that if we're divided.

A Day To Remember

Saturday 1pm I'm sitting at my computer downloading some new music. Chili's(TLC) new Joint Game Proof , Tamia's Too Grown For That and a few others I can't seem to remember right now. I open my mixmeister program and decide to add these slamming tracks to one of my Slish Mix's at Six. Before I knew it. It was 1:45pm SHIIIIT!!!! My boy Spankinazz is getting married TODAY!!! Let me get dressed before i'm late for this momentus occasion.

I hop in the shower. Scrub the dust off me. Put on an outfit that says " Who's That Nigga !!!" I leave my house and jump in the Batmobile. I look at the clock in the car. It says 2:45 pm. I'm running a little late so I call my sweetie and let her know. Barneys responds'' Papi we're going to be laaaate." I respond " Baby this is a west indian wedding. The invitation may say 3:30pm but they really mean 5 pm. Don't worry I'll be there shortly"

Arrive at Barneys apt at 3:15 pm. I go inside. DAMNNNNN !! They gone be some jealous bitches TONIGHT!!! I wipe the drool from my face and kiss my future . Barneys hands me a dress. I say " Whats this dress for" Barneys" Baby you didn't think I was going to wear the same thing to the reception " I shake my head, laugh and respond " Let me find out i'm in love with a diva. Okay J-lo lets roll " She pushes out her bottom lip, I give her a kiss and off we go "

Barneys and I get to the church at 3 :45 pm. As i'm driving by I see Spankinazz dressed in his tux walking down the block. I look over at Barneys and say " See that baby what I tell you. West indian wedding. Barneys giggles and responds " Whatever" I park the car and we head over to the church.

As the both of us walk over. I see that Spankinazz is still outside. I say " Yo B its not too late. I have a full tank of gas and a navigation system. If you're having cold feet say the word" Barneys slaps me on the arm " Baaaaby " I say " What!! I 'm just saying! Just in case !!! Spankinazz would do it for me ! " Barneys rolls her eyes and pushes me out of the way and shakes his hand Spankinazz smiles " Its nice to finally meet you " I say " So whats the hold up. Why is everyone standing outside" Spankinazz responds " West Indian wedding bruh. Bride is on her way" I say " Is it all right for us to go inside ? " Spankinazz responds " Unless you're a vampire I don't see why not " Barneys starts to laugh I respond " Punk ass. " We go inside the church.

5pm on the DOT! The bride has arrived! Music starts to play. The bridesmaids and groomsmen start to walk out. When they get to the middle of the Isle. Each groomsman spins the bridesmaid. Oh don't look at the screen side ways that was some fly shit. Flower girl is the last person to walk down the isle before the bride. The whole church gets quiet. John Legend's So High is what the bride has chosen to greet her future husband. Barneys and I stand with the rest of the guests as she walks down the isle. Something comes over me. My hand starts to move slowly down Barneys back making its way to the forbidden zone. I must have dozed off for a minute and let the Slasher take over. Barneys looks at him and whispers " Don't you dare grab my ass in this church" The Slasher gives her a devilish grin " Wait until we get home woman" Barneys giggles and changes the topic " Baby Spankinazz's bride looks so beautiful her dress is fantastic." I smile and respond " She does doesn't she "

The ceremony lasted about 40 minutes. During that time a family member recited a poem and in that poem she said Marriage is not natural but a culture. We as African Americans must empower our spouses due to the many challenges we face as a people. Spend less time arguing and more time strengthening the African American family structure. Without that we will become extinct. I grabbed Barneys hand real tight as those words were being said.


6: 35pm we get to the reception. Barneys and I head straight for the appetizers . I walk over to the gentleman slicing up some turkey and roast beef. The guests ahead of me are either choosing turkey or beef. Ofcourse when I get to him " Ummmm can I have both" Barneys starts shaking her and gives me the I can't take you anywhere look. We leave him. All of a sudden Barneys gets excited " Papa look. Moooooore" I look over to where my sweetie is pointing Whoa!! What a spread. Cheeses, Fruit, Stuffed mushrooms, eggplant, calamari and a whole bunch of other delicious goodies. Since Barneys and I are not ashamed WE DIG IN!!!

3 1/2 hrs later Barneys and I have stepped in the name of love, wined up our bodies to wait de now ah who dat ah come, and disco danced to ain't no stopping us now. We had so much fun. Too bad we had to leave a little early. As i'm walking out. I hug my sweetie and say " You make me look good" She responds " Baby thats my job" I look back at Spankinazz sitting at the main table. We make eye contact . I give him the thumbs up. He gives me a nod like " Thats right nigga you're next "

I look at Barneys and then head for the door thinking to myself I don't mind. I don't mind that at all.

Fear

4th of July evening. Barneys and I are walking along the pier under the Triboro bridge in queens. We decide to stop and look at the fire works across the Hudson and watch the boats as they drift by. Barneys stands in front of me. I hug her from behind and gently kiss her on the left side of her neck. She closes her eyes, smiles, and hugs me tighter. " Baby" I respond " Yes Ma ? Barneys " Baaaaaby" I answer " Yes Ma ??? " Barneys says" Shawnla left a comment on your latest blog entry." I respond " Yeah I saw it, but she didn't say much " Barneys " I know baby, but can I ask you a question ? " I say " Anything " Barneys' If Shawnla was to call and say that she really does love you and wants you in her life. What would you do? How would that make you feel ?" I start thinking to myself THIS HAS TO BE A TRICK QUESTION. I say " Sweetheart ive already made my decision" I Bend down and squeeze her real tight. 20 minutes later we leave the pier, go home, and make some fireworks of our own.

July 5th 5pm I'm walking out of the building where they force me to work for pennies. My cell phone rings. I look at the caller id screen. It says anonymous caller. That could only be one person. Let me find out my sweetie is a witch !! I pick up " Hello " Shawnla says " Hi. Slish. How are you" I respond " I'm good and you. " Shawnla " I've been okay. Just keeping a low profile. Hey! I checked out your latest blog entry interesting story. I say " Oh really which part of the story did you find interesting. " Shawnla " The whole thing it was good. Sooooo Slish you getting married ? Okay its obvious this woman has been keeping tabs on me by reading my blog. I respond" No, but i'm in a good place right now. Love has caught up to me FINALLY " Shawnla " So you're back with your ex" I respond " Yes. Figured it was time for me to go home. "

Shawnla "Slish you watch that show girlfriends? " I respond " On occasion" Shawnla " You remember when Mya and Darnell got divorced. I respond " Vaguely" Shawnla" Anyway he meets another woman and decides to marry her. The day of the wedding Mya comes crashing through the church doors . Darnell looks at her and decides he doesn't love the woman he is about to marry but still in love with Mya. Leaving the bride at the alter" Here we go. I respond " You say that to say what Shawnla" Shawnla responds " I've had a revelation. I love you Slish. I've always loved you. I'm not telling you this to cause any confusion between you and Barneys. Its just that I was in such a dark place when you expressed how you felt about me. I was so scared " I say " First you could never cause me any confusion when it comes to my feelings for Barneys, I am where she is and she is where i'm at. You know me Shawnla. Once a woman has my heart no other exists. Shawnla says " Slish I know, but i'm not one to hide my feelings. I love you and if you were ever to express your love for me again. It would definitely be reciprocated" I respond " Thank you" Shawnla sighs " Well Slish with all that said i'll let you go. Goodbye." I respond " Bye Shawnla"


I stare at my cell phone and just shake my head thinking "Love conquers all Fear Shawnla. Love conquers all Fear."

Buttons Not To Push

I've always believed that when you break up with someone. You break up! No phone calls the next day to see how the other person is doing, No leaving shit behind just to have an excuse to come back, No hanging out in places your significant other usually frequents just to catch a glimpse of them. When I break up with someone I'M DONE!!! I don't call, write, stalk, or beg for forgiveness. Come to think of it! Barneys is the only woman i've ever broken up with and called back. Any other woman who wanted to reconcile. Would have to call me. Don't get me wrong they don't have to grovel at my feet. I'm easy! Soon as they say " Slish i've missed you" I would respond " LETS GET BACK TOGETHER!!!"

Mid 90's my ex Butterscotch and I had a huge fight about absolutely NOTHING!!! Think I wanted to furnish our apt using credit and she wanted us to save for it. Looking back she was right. I could have been more patient but that woman knew how to push my buttons. So much that it might have caused me to have Slap a Bitch spasms. Without medication thats hard to control. Since I am allergic to steel bars and wearing the same shit everyday. I decided to break up with ButterScotch and move out.

For weeks I was in a funk. Everything I heard or saw reminded me of Butterscotch. To make matters worse Clipperman had intel about Butterscotch riding in her ex man's whip CHEESIN!!!! I was SICK when I heard that. But I never broke down and called her. My pride would not allow me to that. I'm Slish DAMMIT!!! ME RUN TINGS. TINGS NUH RUN ME!!!

About 4 months go by. I'm feeling like myself again. My swagger is back. Fondu, Phantom, Scavenger and myself plan a night of debauchery. First we would hit this hole in the wall spot where the most expensive drink was 3 dollars. Then we would head down to the Shadow nite club for some easy pickins. If a nucca couldn't pull a chick in that place! Mean't his mama breast fed his ass until he was 18!


We get to the Shadow and there is a long line Full of scantily clad women. I'm happier than a pedophile in a nursery school playground! As we're walking passed all the different flavors Fondu turns to me and says " Slish ! You see all this pussy out here. We need to get in pronto. I want first dibs on what ever comes through the door! If we wait out here on this line i'll miss out. Turn around and walk back to the front and do what you do." Unfortunately I happened to agree with him. So I turn around and head for the front of the line looking for a familiar face to cut in front of. Half way to the Club entrance I hear a female voice " Hey you" I turn to see who it is. SHIIIIT FUCK ! Butterscotch! I Look at her face. Then work my way down. She was dressed in a short tight black dress. Why is it when you break up with a woman and you see her again after a couple of months she looks 5 times better than when you left her. Slasher quickly grabs Butterscotch by the arms and pushes her off the line and into the corner of some dark store front. He caresses her sexy frame and slides his tongue between her lips. Butterscotch lets out a sigh when the Slasher finishes his assault. " Am I going to see you inside" Slasher responds " You'll more than just see me inside."

I walk back over to the crew. Slish has managed to get back into the drivers seat. I realize I can't go inside The Shadow if Butterscotch is going to be in there. I'll have a fit if I see some dude push up on her. I'll have a nervous break down if I see her give him a number. " Fellas I can't go in" Fondu responds "Why" I say " I just saw Butterscotch. It hasn't been enough time. If I see her talking to the next man I might act out. " Fondu " Fuck that!! You left her! Deal with it! I'm not passing up all this pussy just because you have FEELINGS." Phantom starts laughing and says " Slish don't worry. Its so big inside you probably won't see her. I respond " Probably right " Then I turn to Fondu " Think your girl is out doing the same thing you are right now ? His face gets tight, he turns around and doesn't respond

In front of the club now. Bouncer looks at us and says" You three guys can go in. Yo boy can't " he's pointing at me . I say " Why? What did I do ? Bouncer responds " Its not what you did its what you're wearing. This club has a strict no sleeveless shirts and sweater policy. I had on a sleeveless sweater. I say " Thats cool. I didn't want to go in anyway. Fondu gives me a screwfaced look. " Fuck you. You see all this ass!! I'm going in! Phantom says " Fondu didn't you just hear the man say Slish can't get it in." I say " Phantom its aiight. Fondu give me your car keys. I know a spot about 5 blocks from here that doesn't have a dress code. Some of my people are already there. " HELL NO! You are not driving Brandy! His semi brand new BMW. I respond " Okay. Then drop me off over there and the rest of you can come back. " Phantom says " Thats fair. Come on Fondu lets drop him off."


We're in Brandy now. Music is blasting. I'm in the front seat. Phantom and Scavenger are in the back. I look over at Fondu to see if he's still pissed. His eyebrows look like they're about to connect with the bridge of his nose. Then we make eye contact. He turns his radio down " You know what Slish! Why does everything always have to be about you ! " I turn around and look back at Phantom and Scavenger. Phantom gives me a I don't what the fuck he's talking about look. I respond " Excuse me. How is this about me ?" Fondu " You alwaaays get your way" This nigga is drunk. Ignore him Slish before he awakens the beast. Fondu continues " Even as kids you always had to have your own way. Your fucking SELFISH and I'm tired of it ! I hear myself say " Well its not like me to break tradition so shut the fuck up and just drive me where I need to go" Fondu SEE THAT!!! SEE THAT PHANTOM !! THIS NIGGA IS SELFISH! The beast is awake and he's still a bit tipsy from the 3 dollar a drink bar !

Slasher " I'm selfish ! Back in the day when Casey's brothers jumped your obnoxious ass. Who ran to your rescue and got lumped up right along with you, When you graduated from college and couldn't find a job for almost six months. You came wining to me. I made a phone call GOT YO ASS THE JOB YOU CURRENTLY HAVE TILL THIS VERY DAY! Phantom interjects " Slish chill !! " I continue" NO!! I'm not done! When your fat fuck of an exgirlfriend was sucking the life force from your body. Who noticed it and introduced you to that beautiful, buxom firecracker of a girlfriend you have right now ! Therefore making it easy for you to break up with that monster! You know what Nigga! The question you should really be asking yourself is WHERE WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT ME!! I made you!!!! You're my creation FRANKENSTEIN!! This fly whip, your Job and your girl aallllll belong to me ! Don't - You - Ever - Forget - That BITCH! Fondu presses the car breaks in the middle of traffic and says " GET OUT!!! Slasher responds " Fuck you. I'm not getting out!! Fondu pulls the car over to the side walk " GET OOOOUT!!! Slish manages to regain control and realizes what he said was out of line. I get out of the car figuring the both of us just needed a little time to cool off. I was mistaken because as soon as my foot hit the sidewalk Fondu was out ! Left me right there on the West Side Highway.

4:oo am I'm alseep in bed after finding my way home. My phone rings. I pick up " Hello " Butterscotch softly says " I thought I was going to see you in the club? I was looking forward to it. I've missed you " I say " I've missed you too. Baby lets get back together! "

What can I say ya'll. I'm easy.
