Her toes curled with the satin sheets, she brought one of her breasts up to her mouth and used her tongue to erect the nipple.

Her sweat taste so divine, better than any red wine.

Girl, just hang up on her. Make yourself come and then call her back. Pull the phone cord from the wall. That'll work.

"How much do you need?" Jadish asked haphazardly, rolling her eyes.

She knew her mother called for money. She was worse than bill collectors.

Her Mama gave a small giggle.

"I didn't call you for that."

God, this is heaven! Maybe If I try turning on my side I could finger bang myself that way? Nah, not much pressure on the clit. It's all about the clit, baby!

"Yeah, right. You've been my...mother for twenty five years. I think I know you."

A moan escaped her lips and she closed them tightly, rolling her eyes into her head. She felt her body rising and falling, as sweat popped from every pore.

Her spine tingled. Heat rose. Her stomach was in knots trying to chase out the butterflies.

"Girl, now is not the time to get on my nerves. Can I borrow ten dollars?"

Oh shit oh shit! I'm almost there! The butterflies released Goosebumps all over her arms...

"For what? And why can't Daddy give you the money?"

Feeling everything but obtuseness, she spread her legs as far as they'd go, eyeing the door knob, getting freakier by the second.

"I'm asking you."

Who cares? Go get a job, Ma! "Ma, like I said why can't you ask your husband?"

"Because I don't want to," her mother said more sternly.

Stupefied, Jadish spat, "You probably drained him dry." And I'm about to drain myself dry.

Soothingly, she spewed, "On all accounts, honey."

Jadish didn't want to hear that. Girl, go to the door knob. Door knob, you hear me, Jadish?

"You both get social security, and on top of that Daddy gets disability, eight hundred dollars a month. Disability just helped him get a damn SUV."

Door knob, hmm never tried that one before.

Her mother stuttered, "That isn't important. Can I..."

Go to the door knob NOW, BITCH!

Getting a huge burst of energy, the adrenaline rushing straight to her brain, Jadish jumped out of the bed, and rushed over to the door.

Pushing it back against the cheaply-constructed wall, the vibration knocked three hanging pictures on the floor, the glass shattering against the checkered tile.

"Baby, what's that glass breaking?" her Mama asked.

Exacerbated, Jadish replied, "Nothing. Just a movie. I'm. Watching..."

About to lose her mind, she turned her back to the door, and put her ass on the knob, fluttering her eyes closed as she felt the small brass ball slide inside her warm flesh.

Oh, yeah!

Oh gahdamn yeah!

It's on and it's on tonight!
