When The Pot Boils Over

So I'm at the crib on Saturday and I get a call reminding me that it's Karen's birthday party. Karen is one of the women from the group that keeps me sane here in SA. She's been nothing but cool so I'm definitely gonna make the gig. One problem: It's at the Vice Mayor's crib.

I picked up one of the other women from the group that lives near me and we go to the little get together. It's very small, only seven of us in total. We lost one member that moved away. I'm in the living room and I hear a shout from the kitchen. It's the Vice Mayor. "Come on back here and say 'what's up'!" To quote my friends from Mobb Deep, "the bitch called, my blood curdled".

I walked back there, warily. "What up, dude." I said it just that flat. He's consistent in his soft ass ways, trying to give me a hug. Not a man hug, mind you, the one armed thing we do, but a bitch hug. I used to give him the benefit of the doubt for being a corny ass, now I just give him the benefit of liking dick. I do what I always do, pat that cat on the back and stay clear. Who the fuck wants to give a man a "dick touching" hug?

I immediately start drinking, reminding myself that Karen wanted me to be there. So somehow, as the night moves forward, I become the center of attention. I'm the guy that is regularly a "no-show" because of something else I have going on, frat business or "frat business" or something. They start talking about my abysmal dating record and I tell them Slish's favorite story.

They're having a good ol' time at my expense when the VM says "See that's what happens when you start chasing these women." He's steadily piling up evidence that he's a dick-monger. I think it was a combination of the alcohol and the comment that made me snap.

"Muthafucka, why'd you throw me under the bus?" "Hunh?" "This fuckin' report I gotta do for the muthafuckin' city council and shit. It was your doing. That's was fucked up shit. Why the fuck didn't you just call me and ask me for the information. Why the fuck did you ask my boss for it? You shitted on my fuckin' weekend is what you did!"

Everybody in the room is quiet and looking at me. I'm looking at each of 'em then I look back at the VM, who's now actively trying to laugh it off. "Man, it's no big deal. Don't sweat it."

"Oh, I ain't sweatin' it. Y'all will get what you get." I tossed back the rest of my drink and went for more. I knew I'd tore my ass on this one, but I was gonna enjoy the weekend, regardless.

Be Easy,
KZ

LMAO @ dick touching hug...

I taught my nephew the man hug when he was 7. Didn't want him growing up thinking it was okay to wrap his arms around another dude.

You was wildin' out on old boy!

A.u.n.t. Jackie said...

Oh shit!! VM won't try to retaliate will he? I love those moments that bring SILENCE to the room. LOL

Little Brown Girl said...

Angie said...

I love it when folks get lifted and say all the shit people want to say but don't. Then there's the silence, crickets chirping, the sun rising and setting - that's usually when I start lauging and can't stop.

Eff him if he can't take a joke!

Knockout Zed said...

@Cas
This cat tried to clown me about mackin' on chicks. Not my choices, mind you, but tryin' to get on. That was some ol' bitch shit. That's why I lost it.

And yeah, he's always trying to "dick touch hug" men. What part of the game is that?

@Dyna
Yeah.

@Miss Ahmad
Thanks, baby.

@OneFrom
We'll see tonight. I'll let you know.

This cat is real bitchlike. I might be in for it.
