Chapter Seventeen
Mike Black
When I arrived in baggage claim at JFK, the first person I saw was Bobby. When I noticed that Wanda was standing next to him, I got worried. If she was there, something was wrong, and whatever it was, it couldn’t wait.
“What’s up, Bob?” I said and shook his hand.
“How was the trip?” he asked.
“Good. Got to spend a lot of time with M. Jamaica took me around to all of his spots. Things are runnin’ smooth down there. Good trip.” I didn’t even want to look in Wanda’s direction, ’cause I really didn’t want to hear what she had to say, but I knew I had to. “Hello, Wanda.”
“I was wondering if you were going to acknowledge my presence,” Wanda said and put her hands on her hips.
“That’s because if you're here, something must be wrong and I’m in too good of a mood for you to drag it down.” Even though I told her that it would be a while before she saw me again, I’d been thinkin’ about goin’ by and fuckin’ Mystique before me and Bobby went to Hong Kong, and that was what had me in a good mood.
Funny how good pussy does that.
On the plane I thought about Jacara and how I ran off the island. That wasn’t cool. I could have gone by the Sheridan and said goodbye to her. But fuck it, what’s done is done. I wandered over to the carousel to wait for my bags.
“Oh, so I’m a drag now?” Wanda said and looked insulted.
Bobby and I looked at each other and started laughing. “Part of your job is to tell us shit we don’t want to hear,” Bobby said.
“It’s what you do,” I added and grabbed my bags.
Wanda’s angry looked slowly curled into a smile. “You two better be glad I love you,” Wanda said and turned away.
Wanda started walking away from me and I looked at her hips swinging out the door. “You gaining weight, Wanda?”
“Why, do I look fat?” she asked as she looked herself up and down.
“Not fat,” I said and tried to think of a delicate way to put it, but there wasn’t one. “Just fat in the ass.”
“Somebody must be hittin’ that ass right,” Bobby said and laughed.
Wanda spun around and looked at Bobby like he had just called her mama a two-dollar ho, rather than something she’d heard him say hundreds of times.
“What you talkin’ ’bout, Bobby?” she said and got in his face.
“Nothing, Wanda. You know I’m just fuckin’ with you. Everybody knows that you’re the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. Take some deep breaths,” Bobby said and walked around her.
At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as we got to the car, I wasn’t so sure. Maybe somebody was hittin’ that ass right and I had to think for a minute about how I felt about that. Wanda had been my other woman for a long time. Other woman that I wasn’t fuckin’, that is.
Me and Wanda had our time when we were kids, but we both agreed that we were better off as friends.
