“So, when were you planning to tell me that you were sleeping with Momo?” Nikki asked tired of the charade that both she and her brother were living. She wanted to share her new infatuation with someone and he was the only one she could trust not to tell another living person. She sat on the corner of his desk, staring at him as he desperately tried to ignore her and her question. She had played this game with him countless times before. She would ask a question and he would play deaf only to break and tell her what she wanted to know in the end. She continued, “I know you two are getting it in and I just want you to know that I’m not mad at you. Even though you did a big no-no and cross that sacred fraternization line. I’m not at all mad at you. In fact, I’m actually happy for you. She seems to be a good fit for you. I just wish that you would have come clean and let me know about what was going on…that’s all.” She kept her eyes fixed on her womb buddy; sure he’d break at any second.
He finally looked up from the stack of documents on his desk, giving her an irritated smirk as he said, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” They stared at each other, each ready for the other to break.
“You are a damn lie.” Nikki said, shaking her head. She was a little disappointed that he wasn’t being forthcoming with her and was starting to feel like he didn’t trust her anymore. With the sting of omnipotence in her voice she continued, “I know you messing with that girl. I saw y’all fucking at the shop, you lying motherfucker.”
Velle tossed his pen on the desk before sitting back in his chair and clasping his hands together across his chest. He had had just about enough of Nikki’s prying into his personal life. His tone was filled with denial as he said, “I said, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why don’t you mind your own business for a change? I’m not all into your business about why you fucking Justice, am I?”
His words had caught her off guard. She wasn’t prepared for his spilling of her beans. She raised one eyebrow, as she slide of the desk and took a defensive stance in front of the desk. She placed her hands on her hips before saying, “Excuse me, what did you just say?”
“You heard me…that’s right, I know you been laying up with Justice…for about three months now right, sis?” He said smiling as he could see his line of questioning getting the better of her.
But Nikki, as smooth as she was cunning, slyly replied, “I’m not fucking anyone, okay. Let’s just get that straight, right now. You on the other hand are jeopardizing a profitable business just so you can get your rocks of with some high school crush. Slipping Velle, you are slipping. That big ass and those enormous tits got you open like that lil’ brother?” Her words were venomous, which was exactly what she wanted them to be. To poison his confidence with anger and make him lose his cool, she had to be cold hearted. She knew her brother and could easily tell that there was more going on between him and Monique than just casual sex. He told her everything about every girl he’d ever messed with, whether she wanted to hear it or not, but now he was being super secretive. It just didn’t make sense and she wasn’t going to stand for it. She continued as he began to crack his knuckles, a sign that he was upset and ready to give her what for, “Besides you already fucked the bitch, so how about you just let this thing go. It’s bad for business and it’s not like there’s anything serious going on. I mean that's what you said, right? You already fulfilled your little fantasy so just let it go.”
“This is not about some fucking high school fantasy, Nikki!” Velle snapped tired of his sister’s remarks about his relationship.
“Well, what is it then? I know you two are having sex, yet you’re not dating and pretending that there’s nothing going on when there obviously is. To be honest, she's not really your type anyway...there's no spunk to her at all.” She continued and she could smell him starting to break down due to the poison of her words.
“I know what you’re trying to do,” he paused seemingly regaining his composure out of nowhere, “and it’s not going to work. I told you there’s nothing going on between Monique and I and that’s the end of it.” His words seemed final, as if they were the say-all end all.
“You're not daddy! You don’t say when it’s the end of anything!” She chuckled as she flipped through her cell phone, pissed that he would even try to dismiss her. Who did he think he was talking to? She had originally been just trying to find a way to tell him about her relationship with Justice but since he wanted to play dirty, then she was about to start slinging mud. She scrolled through her phone until she found the one piece of evidence that she’d been keeping under wraps for the past three months. She turned her phone screen to Velle while saying, “If you two aren’t fucking then what do you call this? I call it tacky, fucking on company property!”
Velle was stunned. He couldn’t believe that his twin sister was standing in front of him holding up a picture of him in the middle of sex, on her cell phone. What kind of sick 4th dimension had he fallen into? He was speechless for a moment; unable to wrap his mind around everything that was happening. It was like some kind of bad dream. He finally said, “Where did you get that?”
Too embarrassed to say that she had snapped it when she had snuck in and caught them, she replied, “What difference does that make? You said you went sleeping with her and you were right because it sure as hell don’t look like you two are sleeping in this picture to me!” She felt vindicated. How dare he try to shut her down? No one shuts Nicolette Williams down!
“Well,” he said as he searched through files on his laptop. When he had found the one he was looking for he said, “You said your weren’t fucking Justice but take a listen to this.” He clicked on the audio file on his laptop and played a recording he had found on his voicemail the morning after their birthday party.
Nikki’s bottom jaw nearly hit the floor as she listen to an audio recording of herself and Justice:
Nikki’s Voice: Oh my God Justice you feel so good! Don’t stop, baby, don’t stop! THAT’S IT! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! JUSTICE! OH MY GOD! (moaning and screaming before a few second pause)…oh my god... baby that was great! (heavy panting)
Justice’s Voice: Nikki (laughter) you are so loud. You better be glad your neighbors are a half an acre away or they’d be calling the police in us.
Nikki’s Voice: I know right (laughter followed by kissing sounds and low moaning). Velle is gonna kill me.
Justice’s Voice: No (a deep sigh) but he is definitely gonna kill me…but it was worth it (more kissing sounds)
Nikki’s Voice: Yeah it was (more laughter followed by kissing)
Nikki was speechless. Velle had just played the ultimate move in their chess game. Check and mate. She stood there visibly embarrassed, searching for words of denial. Finding none she snapped, “Where did you get that?”
“What difference does it make? You said that you weren’t sleeping with justice and you were right because it sure as hell doesn’t sound like you two were sleeping to me.”
*This is just a bonus post. It was on my mind before I went to bed so I cranked it out before I forgot. It should be funny to everyone waiting for someone to put Nikki in her place. I'm add more on Sunday.
