when it neared 5:00 P.M. , I asked her to hurry so we could have dinner and I could get back here by nine.

When 9:00 P.M. rolled around, I was running late and rushed to get to Davenports. Iâd given Jaylin the keys so that he could get in and he called to tell me the guest of honor had already arrived. What held me up was, as Sam and I broke off a quickie, she started in with her questions about getting married. This time, our argument got heated, and I left her place without saying good-bye.
The few fellows Iâd invited were already there. Trey, his partners, Zeek, Jermaine, Cedric, and Tony. On my end, Iâd invited a cool client of mine named Brandon, and of course, Jay. I kept it simple because I didnât want to get Trey accustomed to the many wild parties that weâd thrown in the past.
Everything seemed to be in order. For the most part, we sat around drinking, talking about women and our careers. I was completely stunned when Trey told us how much pussy heâd had. I couldnât believe it; Iâd seriously thought he was a nerd. I guess heâd acted that way around his parents because they were in church all the time.
By 11:00 P.M. , we were all beyond fucked up. Weâd been acting rather silly, and when Tony insisted he had to throw up, we all laughed as he crawled on the floor like a dog on his way to the bathroom. Trey was laid out on the floor with his arms stretched out while talking crazy underneath his breath.
âThat cat is gone,â Jay said with a major buzz. His eyes were red and so glassy that it looked as if they were filled with tears.
âHeâll be all right,â Brandon responded. âBy morning, he wonât remember a thing.â
I walked over to Trey and smacked his leg. âTrey, get up man. Why you drink all that shit?â
âCauuuuse,â he moaned. âItâs my muuutha-fuckinâ birthday, thatâs why.â
He grabbed my neck and held me in a choke hold. Slightly drunk, I fell to the floor and wrestled with him. During all of the commotion, the door opened and in walked Lady Ice. She was decent, but Iâd seen better. Basically, had she been there for me, the party might have been over. Everybodyâs head turned, and when she dimmed the lights, I maneuvered myself off the floor.
âYâall boys having fun without me,â she said. She switched her hips from side to side and was searched from head to toe by wandering eyes.
âGet him now,â I yelled, as Trey was still swaying back and forth on the floor. I handed Lady Ice a bottle of wine and she gave me her CD to start the music. She straddled her legs and stood over Trey. He opened his mouth wide and she poured the wine into his mouth. The wine spilt all over the place and that caused him to act like a serious maniac.
Lady Ice started dancing and her moves were definitely to the rhythm. I looked at Jay and Brandon and they were all into what she was putting on Trey. His other partners were too, and I wanted to make sure that this was a twenty-first birthday heâd never forget.
Jaylin seemed indulged and slid his hand down over his thang. He kicked my leg, noticing my attentiveness as well.
âYou wrong, Shane. You are wrong for this.â
I laughed at how fucked up he was. âDonât blame me. You donât have to watch if you donât want to.â
âDamn, I wish I had my wife here! I have never missed her so damn much!â
âWell, then, go home, fool. Get yo ass on the plane tonight and jet.â
âI plan to,â he said standing up. He pulled out his cell phone and held his manhood. Before heading to another room, he took one last look at Lady Ice and Trey fake playing with each other on the floor.
By the time Jaylin came out of my office, he mentioned that Tony was almost passed out on the bathroom floor. Lady Ice had two chairs sitting face-to-face by the windows that viewed the dark
