When Reality Hits

Aleesha sat hugging her knees rocking back and forth on her bedroom floor. She was in a daze as she stared at the wall, her mind replaying the events from the night in her head. She couldn’t believe what had happened. It all seemed too surreal and she couldn’t come to terms with the lives that had been lost right in front of her eyes. Even though she witnessed and partook in violence herself, this was just too hard to fathom. 

Savage on the other hand was used to this kind of stuff. He didn’t feel guilty, and was actually feeling a little happy knowing that all of the drama was over. He just hoped that all of this didn’t traumatize his wife, but it seemed to have done just that. The last time he checked up on her, she was in a possessed-like state in their bedroom and she hadn’t said anything to him since they left the shop.

“Damn I need a drink,” Savage said aloud as he looked for his keys. After he found them, he went to the bedroom to check on his wife. “Babe you wanna go out and get a drink?” he asked Aleesha, who just shook her head no. “Well I’ll be back in like an hour, aight?”

Aleesha just sat and nodded her head up and down. Savage didn’t want to leave her at home alone, but he figured it would be best to give her space and let her cope in her own way.

As soon as Savage got outside the house, Lala was walking up the driveway. Oh shit, he thought to himself as soon as he saw her.

“Hey bro,” Lala said, getting closer to the house.

“Ay what’s good? I thought you wouldn’t be back for another week.”

“Yeah I wasn’t supposed to but I got bored in New York,” she said as the two exchanged a friendly hug.

“How could you get bored in New York?” he questioned. “That’s the city that never sleeps.”

“Yeah I know, but there’s no place like home,” she quoted happily.

“Yeah, true,” Savage agreed as he began walking to his car. He got a few feet away before Lala stopped him.

“Hey,” she said as he turned around to face her. “Have you heard from Marcus? His punk ass isn’t answering my calls and he wasn’t home.”

Savage shook his head no. “I was wit’ that nigga earlier, he said he was goin’ to the club but knowin’ that nigga he’s probably somewhere passed out.”

“Yeah, oh punk ass,” she said, shaking her head in annoyance. “Anyway, is Aleesha sleep? I was gon’ call her when I landed but I wanted to surprise her.”

“Nah, she in the room. I gotta go though. I’ll be back in a couple hours,” Savage said as he turned around and walked to his car.

“Aight fool,” Lala said, turning around and walking through the front door. She shut the door behind her and walked toward the bedroom.

When she approached the room door, Lala heard sniffles coming from inside. “Best friend,” she called out as she cracked open the door. When she didn’t get an answer, she proceeded into the room.

She saw Aleesha sitting on the floor, who now had tears running down her face. “Oh my God best friend, what’s wrong?” Lala asked, taking a seat on the floor next to her. Aleesha didn’t answer her, just kept shaking her head no. “Leelee, please tell me what’s wrong,” Lala said, now getting worried. She had never seen her best friend in a state like this.

“Lala, I fucked up,” Aleesha finally said. The reality of what she had done didn’t strike her until she was on her way home from the shop. It wasn’t the murders that had her petrified or worried, it was this moment right now. She knew that one day she would have to tell her best friend the truth. She could have easily played dumb and let Lala find out about Marcus just like everyone else, but she wouldn’t feel right about it. It never crossed her mind how her best friend would feel losing her man, and now she really feared what would happen knowing what it did to Milasia. She knew Lala and Marcus’s relationship wasn’t the best, but she knew that Lala still loved him. Aleesha realized she helped take something away from someone she loved that she would never be able to give back, again.

“Marcus is dead,” Aleesha blurted out. She didn’t have the heart to look at her best friend, but knew that this had taken her by surprise.

“Wait, what? What are you talking about, Leelee?” Lala asked with confusion coming over her.

“He’s dead,” Aleesha said, being as that was all she could get out.

“Aleesha, please tell me your playing,” Lala said, thinking it was a joke.

“Does it look like I’m playing?” Aleesha asked Lala, now looking her right in her eyes.

“Wow. Hhh ... how?” Lala asked, now with tears running down her face.

“Lala, what I’m about to tell you, you might not want to believe, but please just listen to me first,” Aleesha begged.

Aleesha told Lala everything from when she talked to Cali and her finding out about Milasia and Marcus, to everyone meeting up at Milasia’s and the events that followed. By the time she was finished, Lala looked like she had witnessed everything with her own two eyes.

“Lala, please say something to me,” Aleesha pleaded.

“I don’t know what to say. This shit is too much to take in all at once,” Lala said, finally speaking. She had been staring at the floor the whole time Aleesha talked to her, and hadn’t said a word.

“Best friend I’m so sorry—”

“You don’t have anything to be sorry about. What’s done is done and you had your reasons,” Lala stated understandingly. “I’m not gonna lie, I had mad love for him, but that was it. After the last time he put his hands on me, I thought about killing him myself.”

“Oh best friend shut up,” Aleesha said with a giggle, trying to lighten the mood.

“No, Aleesha, I’m serious,” Lala said, now staring at Aleesha, who gave Lala her full attention back. “I just never could go through with it. Before I went to New York, he almost killed me. He was strangling me and the only thing that stopped him was your husband. If Savage would have showed up even a minute later, I would’ve probably been dead. So honestly best friend, I owe you guys my life. Y’all saved me,” she said as tears began to roll down her face.

“Best friend, please don’t cry,” Aleesha said, wiping the tears from Lala’s face.

“Bitch, these are tears of joy, I feel free,” Lala admitted, which made both women start laughing.

“OMG bitch, I love you,” Aleesha said, giving her best friend a hug.

“I love you too,” Lala said once they pulled apart as she stared into Aleesha’s eyes.

As they sat staring at each other, Lala leaned in and kissed Aleesha. It caught Aleesha off guard for a second, but after a few seconds she started kissing Lala back. As they continued passionately kissing one another, Lala slipped her left hand down to Aleesha’s leggings. She tugged at the waistband for a few seconds and then put her hand in her underwear and felt on Aleesha’s plump pussy.

“Lay back,” Lala instructed while she removed Aleesha’s leggings and thong.

Aleesha laid back on the floor and took off her shirt, leaving her milk chocolate breasts exposed. She cupped them and started moaning as Lala’s tongue slowly parted her pussy lips and found its way to her clit. Lala treated Aleesha’s clit ever so delicately, slowly flicking it with her tongue and gently nibbling on it. Lala then slipped her tongue into Aleesha’s cave, and started tongue fucking her. Aleesha’s back began to arch as Lala’s warm tongue massaged the most sensitive part of her body. She then grabbed Lala’s head and interlocked her fingers in her hair, as she pushed Lala’s face deeper into her vagina. Aleesha began to climax and pushed Lala’s head away and closed her legs.

“What the fuck!” Aleesha exclaimed, looking shocked.

“What?” Lala asked with a look of confusion on her face.

“I’ve never came that quick before,” Aleesha said with a smile. Both women broke out into laughter.

“You burnt out,” Lala playfully replied.

“I know, but now it’s my turn,” Aleesha said as she stood up. “Take off your clothes and get on the bed,” she instructed Lala.

Lala wasted no time following her best friend’s commands. She stripped down, showing off her video vixen body, and then laid in the bed. Aleesha went to her closet and dug into a tub full of sex toys. She pulled out her 8-inch vibrating strap on, which was sure to please any woman, fastened it on, and walked back to the bed.

“I was hoping you grabbed that one,” Lala said as Aleesha was walking back.

“I know. Come over here and put that ass in the air,” Aleesha told Lala once she got to the foot of the bed.

Lala did as she was instructed and crawled to the foot of the bed, then positioned herself in doggy style and hiked her ass in the air. Aleesha turned the vibration on and rubbed the dildo against Lala’s clit, then she penetrated her. She stroked Lala so good you would have thought that the strap on was really her penis. Lala continuously rocked her hips back and forth, and her ass clapped against Aleesha’s body as she fucked her. Aleesha bent over Lala and started pulling her hair with her left hand as she played with Lala’s clit with her right. Lala could feel the pressure of an orgasm building up inside of her as she continuously swayed her body in rhythm with Aleesha’s.

“Fuck, I’m ‘bout to come!” Lala yelled out in a load moan. Aleesha let go of Lala’s hair and stood back up as she grabbed Lala’s hips. As Lala began to climax, Aleesha pulled out of her and dropped to her knees and began to eat Lala’s pussy, slurping up her sweet juices while she came.

Both women collapsed in the bed, beat. It was nearing 2 o’clock in the morning, and Aleesha knew Savage would be home anytime now. He was used to coming home and finding the two asleep in bed together seeing as how they were best friends, but seeing them sleeping together naked was not one of them.

“Come on bitch, we gotta get up and get back dressed,” Aleesha informed Lala, who looked like she was just about to fall into a deep sleep.

“Shit,” Lala said as she got up. Both ladies got dressed, and while Aleesha went and washed off her toy, Lala laid back in the bed. Aleesha put the toy back in the container, then climbed in the bed and cuddled up next to her best friend.
