Nervous

We shook hands.

“Jonquinette, as in your neighbor?” Smitty asked Mason.

“One and the same,” Mason replied.

“Aw, so she ended up at the wedding anyway.” Smitty eyed me up and down. “I can see why Mason is so taken with you.”

I was blushing horribly. Mason had obviously been talking about me to at least one of his friends. I was flattered beyond comprehension.

“Thank you,” I managed to get out of my mouth somehow.

“I won’t keep him long,” Smitty said. “I just need Mason to hold down the fort for me while I’m gone so we need to go over a few things.”

“Where are you honeymooning?” I asked.

“The Caymans,” Smitty said. “Robin and I have always wanted to have an escapade over there.”

Before I knew it, Mason pulled me to him and brushed his lips across mine. “I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere.”

I watched them walk outside and then I headed for the ladies’ room to pull myself together. That kiss had set my insides on fire.

I sat in the bathroom stall, pissed off. Jon was actually considering dating that fool. I could tell that any day she would be giving up the drawers. I couldn’t and wouldn’t tolerate it. Something drastic had to be done.

I had hoped, if it did turn out to be the same wedding, that Mason would have been there with some other bitch so Jon could see he was just another playa after a quick lay. But no, he had to be there alone and all up on her like her pussy was embedded with gold.

I came out of the stall and glanced in the mirror as I washed my hands. “What to do? What to do?” I asked my reflection. Then my question was answered when two of the bridesmaids walked in talking about my next victim.

“Damn, that Logan sure is fine,” one of them said.

“Yeah, but you can forget it,” the other one replied. “He’s been dating that Darnetta chick for ages.”

“Hmph, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t fool around. I was flirting with him at the rehearsal last night and he was feeling me. I could tell.”

I pretended to be fixing my hair so I could hang back long enough to hear their conversation.

“Kassie, he wasn’t feeling you.”

“Alicia, look hoe, I know when a man is feeling me and I’m telling you, if I wanted some, I could get it.”

“That may be true because I don’t know many men that would turn down free sex. But, after you do him, then what? He goes right back to Darnetta and leaves you ass out.”

“I’m not trying to fall in love with Logan. I’m just curious, that’s all.”

Alicia cleared her throat and looked in my direction. I turned at them and grinned. “You ladies have a good evening.”

When I was walking out the bathroom door, I heard Alicia ask Kassie, “How do you know that’s not one of Darnetta’s girls or something? Talking about that man like that.”

I laughed. That’s what the bitches deserved. They needed some gossip etiquette training. You never spread your dirt in front of other people because you never know who knows who.

Ironically, I passed Darnetta as she was headed into the very same bathroom. “Jon, there you are. I was looking for you. How are things going with Mason? I saw you on the dance floor getting your freak on.”

That Darnetta trick could get on my nerves at times with her babbling but all in all she was cool. At least she had a life. I should have felt guilty for what I was contemplating. Not!

“Mason and I are getting along just fine,” I responded. “He had to go talk to Smitty about some things but we’ll be back on the dance floor getting our freak on again soon.”

Darnetta giggled. “Good for you, girl. I’m glad to see that you’re loosening up.” She slap
