    “Yes sir?” she said .
    “Can I get a double scotch straight?” Jason said in a squeaky voice. Clearing his throat he smiled and said, “I mean straight.”

 
    CHAPTER 2
     
    “Good Morning , baby,” Sabrina said to Noah waking him up to get ready for school while kissing him all over his little face and neck. Noah started to squeal and push her away laughing.
    “Get away , Momma!” Noah said wiping his face. “No kisses, Momma, I am a big boy now,” he said laughing. Noah had sat her down about a month after his fifth birthday and told her that he was too big for kisses, only hugs, and Sabrina had agreed but sometimes she could not help but shower kisses all over him and this morning was one of those times. Sabrina’s flight had gotten in late last night or early this morning, however you chose to think about it. When she had reached into her pocket to call Natalie to find out what gate she was waiting at, she realized she had lost her phone at the airport in Texas. Then to top it off, it had taken her twenty minutes to find Natalie and soon as she saw her, she had started with the third degree.
    “So what happened?” Natalie had said on the ride back to her house. Noah was asleep in the back seat of her Range Rover. It was so late Sabrina had not expected him to be awake.
    “Wha t do you mean? Nothing happened,” Sabrina said looking out the passenger side window.
    “Don’t even try it. Spill it ,” she said.
    “There is nothing to spill ,” Sabrina said. “I went, we had sex twice and I decided it was time for me to go home.  End of story,” she finished shrugging her shoulders.
    “Wait, Wait, Wait right there. You had sex with him again?” Natalie had said in a shocked tone looking back and forth between Sabrina and the road. “Heffa, don’t play with me, that right there is more than I know. Yo u just went to Texas and went full on, hoe,” Natalie said laughing.
    “I did not!” Sabrina said swatting at her. “We had sex again just before I left. Now you’re caught up ,” Sabrina said hoping that would appease her. No such luck.
    “So what prompted the early departure? And don’t tell me nothing because I know better ,” Natalie said to her.
    Taking a deep breath , Sabrina realized that Natalie was not going to stop until she told her so she might as well.
    “We had sex again and we had it in his dining room and then in his bedroom. Well, he feel asleep after...” Sabrina was telling her when Natalie cut her off.
    “Typical man, bust a nut , roll over, scratch his ass and go to sleep,” Natalie said.
    Laughing , Sabrina said, “Do you want to know what happened or not? Silly ass woman,” Sabrina said to her friend.
    “Ok, Ok. I am sorry . Go,” she said.
    “Anyway, after he fell asleep, JJ woke up from his nap and knocked on his bedroom door asking for something to eat. I decided to let Jason sleep. While I was feeding JJ, he happened to mention that no other woman besides his mother had ever slept in his daddy’s bed and that if he let me sleep in his room, it meant he wanted me to stay.” Pausing, Sabrina looked out the window. “The writing was on the wall as far as I was concerned and I needed to get out of there.”
    There was a silence in the car that lasted at least thirty seconds.  “What the fuck?” Natalie said “Ok, excuse my confusion but what writing? Is this in invisible ink? What does it say ‘X marks the spot’, the Crips and Bloods have gone back to the peace treaty? What?” Natalie said to her as she was looking at Sabrina like she was the dumbest person alive or at least a close second.
    “Ugh! Nat, Jason does not feel anything like that for me but I realized when JJ said what he said that I felt something for Jason. I am not going to set myself up for that heart break. You know Jason has no intention of ever caring about, or have anything to do with, a woman besides how many positions she can fold into comfortably without screaming
