“What’s your name?”

“It’s Nikki… yours?” she asked back.

“Dee…”

“Dee? I know your momma didn’t name you that,” Nikki said with disbelief across her face.

With a deep sigh Dee answered, “My real name is Deonne.”

“Okay and what’s wrong with going by Deonne?” Nikki asked.

“See that’s the thing… it didn’t…” Dee tried answering.

“It didn’t fit your persona?” she finished with a smirk.

“And what do you mean by that?” Dee asked, throwing her palms to the sky.

“Don’t act like you don’t know what you doing,” Nikki added, just before a hefty fellow by the name of Julio came busting out the back door as he breathed hard and struggled to talk.

“What the hell is going on back here?! This ain’t no social hour! Nikki get your ass back on the tables n’ you… uh Dee my dishes need washing!” His face turned red as he yelled. They both threw down their half smoked cigarettes and single filed it back into The Kahuna Restaurant as Julio continued to bitch, “Dee don’t you try licking on this girl… if you up here fraternizing with my waitresses you’re fired!” Nikki pretended not to hear as she walked faster and returned to wait table until mid-night. It was Friday and in the middle of summer, so they stayed open until one. It was Dee’s first day and she was already making trouble with the boss man, but he couldn’t help that indeed she was attracted to Nikki. That fat fuck probably wants to keep her for himself or at least try to take a stab at it she thought to herself as she walked home. Dee didn’t stay too far down from the boardwalk in a set of apartments by the beach. She was from in Pleasure Point and raised by a single mother who was so in tuned with the nature that they lived on the beach until Dee was six. Surfing was second nature and where she spent most of her free time, so Dee had to make sure that she lived only seconds away to go barefoot. As she approached the second floor, grabbing the mail before running up the stairs to unlock the door to get inside to her bed but before she could step through the threshold Dee was flat on her back.

“King! At least wait until I get inside!” Dee yelled between slobbery kisses from her full grown pet husky. “Geez!” Dee got up to her feet to head toward the kitchen to open the fridge, but of course it was empty except for a jug of milk and a few slices of cheese. She heavily sighed and shut the door to check the cabinets; nothing but a can of dog food and a pack of noodles. “Here’s dinner boy,” Dee said to king as she patted his head before taking a pot from the sink and filled it with water. As the it came to a boil she opened up the can and poured into King’s bright bowl as he souped it up within seconds, then looked up for more. “Sorry boy… that’s it,” Dee said as she shrugged her shoulders.

The next morning’s sum seeped in through the blanketed windows, both Dee and her dog were still comfy in the bed and buried under mounds of blankets. She worked the evening shift so until the sun went back down and the alarm clock sounded off. With buzzes blaring and as usual King jumps up first to paw the snooze button. Dee moaned, groaned, and yawned before getting up to open the front door to let King out and the day in. There was a nice cool breeze flowing through the apartment after she opened the windows too. Looking out to the crowded beaches as Dee pulled back and tied up the blankets that covered the kitchen window; the waves gently kissed toes and invaded sand castles s the tourist lined their brightly colored umbrellas along the beach. Dee just shook her head; she already knew that tonight was going to be busy down at the boardwalk and tons of dishes to wash but it dawned on her. Nikki will be there. Besides the fact the girl is pretty but the way her new boss forbade Dee from simply talking to her sparked interest and just like that her day seemed a little more sunnier.

That evening on the way to work, accompanied by an extra spray of cologne and freshly twisted dreads; Dee imagined every which way she could start a conversation with her. Onto the boardwalk she entered, not paying attention to a soul as she strolled through The Kahuna’s doors and there she was with her red apron and shorts on. Nikki’s waist long curly sun kissed hair was tied back into a pony tail that laid on her neck as she smiled and nodded hello. Dee shyly waved and went straight to the back where a big industrial sized sink waited and full of dirty dished from lunch. So she tired an apron on and put the gloves on, turned on the water and went to work. Busting suds and stacking them high until she was finished just before the dinner rush. It was a quarter ‘til seven, the perfect time to fit in smoke before the bus boy left for the night leaving his duties to Dee. Out the back sat a wooden bench underneath the lamp that lit the way to the dumpsters, she walked over with a huge bag full of garbage over her shoulder to toss it in before pulling out a menthol cigarette and lighting it. Looking up and the clear starry sky in time to catch a comet shoot across; instantly Dee closed her eyes to whisper, “I wish I can find love…”

“What are you doing out here by yourself?” a soft voice asked. Dee opened her eyes to a yellow bone chick with long spiral curls to her hips.

“Taking a breather,” she answered with a nervous smile.

“Shiiit… that’s what I need to be doing before it hits,” Nikki added, noticing the pack of squares that sat next to Dee. “Let me get one of those off ya…”

“Here I’ll light it for you,” Dee offered as she got it together for her new friend.

“That’s nice of you,” Nikki said and took the cigarette to her lips.

“How long have you been working here?” she asked back, picking her own cancer stick back up and inhaling deeply.

“For about three months now… I just got the job cause Big Julio thought I was cute. Really I just want to get as close to beach as I can,” Nikki answered as she looked over to the moon lite beach.

“Do you surf?” Dee asked.

“I love to surf,” Nikki said without hesitation but just their luck it was one of the other waitresses peeking out the back door.

“Hey Nikki… we could use a hand in here!” She yelled and popped back inside.

“Well I guess I’ll talk to you later Dee,” Nikki smiled as she threw her butt in the make shift ash tray bowel.

“Yeah…” Dee mumbled and watched her walk back to the tables. You could tell by her small frame and perky ass; she was barely five foot two and a hundred and twenty pounds soaking wet. Dee couldn’t help but stare, that girl had curves, beauty, and nice straight teeth along with the pretty smile. Dee wasn’t too much of a lady’s woman; she’s skinny, over confident but extremely shy. She talked; well really texted a lot of females online but never had a real face to face relationship before. The girls she grew up with stayed away from her and so Dee spent all her free time surfing.

For the rest of the night stayed so busy that Dee couldn’t get to say another word even if she was going to follow through and actually engage her but the shift ended with a sweet good-bye as she watched Nikki’s headlights drive away. On the way home Dee picked up a couple of tacos and quarter pound of fajita meat from a late night food truck before crossing street to her building. King greeted her as always and bolted out the door; she had ran out of canned dog food so tonight he was in store for a real treat. Dee filled her pup’s bowl as she finished the second taco and plopped on the couch to pull out a laptop from below. She connected onto the internet using the hotel’s free wi-fi next door to log on to an internet dating sight Dee had been fishing around on for a few months now. The envelope picture had a little red three to side of it and glowed yellow, “I got mail…” she mumbled to herself as she clicked on the icon. The screen switched to her inbox with three new messages, Dee opened the first one with a picture of a light skinned stud with dark shades on that went by the screen name of Brooklyn69, and with a sigh of relief that she sent a group invite to a webcam party. “Delete,” Dee said out loud and then clicked on the next message. This one had bright red lipstick on and holding up a peace sigh that called her self CaliforniaPeaches562; olive completed with dark round eyes and long hair. Fake lashes, boobs, and lips along with a very small waist; most likely it was liposucked out and put back in her ass which she had multiple pictures of. Her message just said “hello.” This girl looked like every other Cali girl with dark brown hair and platinum blonde highlights; Dee licked her dry bottom lip as she clicked reply and began typing. “Hey mama… what you got up for tonight?” she asked and pressed sent. The last message in the inbox was from an administrator for the dating site trying to advertise another add-on to her subscription and was just deleted when a ding sound alerted Dee that she had a new message. “That was quick,” she said out loud and opened it. “I want to chat” was the only thing she wrote back as Dee frowned up a little but then figured that was hella of lot better than just reading. Then another window popped up with question; asking Dee if she wanted to join a video chat with CaliforniaPeaches562 but before she clicked okay she ran to the bathroom to make sure the locks and edge up was straight.

Once she returned to press okay another screen popped up asking for a credit card or a check to chat with CaliforniaPeaches562 or if she had the gold package to enter her id and password. “What the fuck?” Dee asked herself as she exited the windows and deleted the misleading message then mumbled, “Even internet bitches are a tease…” as she closed the laptop to turn out the lights and go to bed.

Knock, knock, knock, knock… knock, knock, knock …

Dee moaned and looked up at the radio clock on the corner of the bed; it was only seven-thirty in the morning and King wasn’t even awoke until the second set of knocks banged on the door. “Man… Who the hell?” Dee groaned as she turned over to her back and rubbed her face. After the third set of knocks King started to bark and get up to go sniff around the door. “Who is it boy?” Dee asked as she got out of bed, stretched and put her t-shirt on. King started to scratch at the door and wag his tail like he knew who was on the other side. “Let’s see…” Dee added as she answered the door to find her ex-best friend waiting with her arms folded across her chest. “Eeeh… hello Toya,” Dee muttered to say.

“Hi Deeone… Can I come in?” she asked.

“Why are you here so early? I thought I deceived you and that you feel violated by my lies…” Dee asked, slightly confused as she looked this girl up and down. “What’s in the bag?”

“Breakfast,” she answered. “So can I come in?”

“I guess…” Dee said as moved to the side to allow her entry and shut the door behind them. “So what do you need?”

“I just wanted to see how you were doing,” Toya answered as she sat on the couch to King wanting some love.

“I don’t believe that… you up to something and you might as well get it out before I go to work,” Dee answered.

“Can you get King?” she asked as he kissed her face.

“King go lay down boy… leave that girl alone,” Dee commanded him as she went into the kitchen for a glass of juice; King instantly ran into the room to jump on the bed and laid down. “You want something to drink?” she asked, opening the fridge.

“Uh… I’m okay sweetie,” Toya answered with a grin.

“The last time we talked you thought I was trying to get in your panties… only cause I told you I was a lesbian… so why are you here? Unless you dropping them panties you need to say something dude,” Dee got straight to the point as she sat on the couch too.

“Uhh… well that’s what I wanted to talk about. I was wrong to do you like that and I thought that way because I couldn’t deal with my own attraction,” she said and scooted closer toward Dee.

“I never came on to you… so what attraction do you have?” Dee asked as she watched this girl stand up and began to undress; starting with her t-shirt. “What are you doing? I thought you didn’t like girls?!” Dee asked, getting all nervous.

“I don’t but I like you Deeone,” she answered as stood there topless; Toya was a beautiful privileged girl from The Valley. Small frame with a hand full of titties and wide hips that rounded to an ass that Dee imagined holding onto since they met. She pinched herself a couple of times, unable to believe what was about to happen as her eyes watched Toya take off her skirt to reveal a pair of red edible thongs. She gotta be clean shaven to wear those… Dee said to herself as she watched this girl bend over to free her feet.

“You ready to eat this off of me Dee?” she asked, standing there butt naked except for a fruit roll-up stuck to her pussy.

“You still haven’t answered me,” Dee asked before diving right in.

“Well because I was thinking if I was to mess with a girl it might as well be with one that kinda looks like a dude and after how I acted I wanted to show you that I’m sorry,” Toya answered as she sat in front of Dee on the coffee table with her legs spread open wide. “Do you not want a taste?”

“I do but you just want to be fucked by a girl right? Like any girl should be able to do right?” Dee asked as she scooted back into the couch.

“What do you mean? I wouldn’t be here at the crack of dawn if I didn’t want to lick on some pussy!” she continued.

“You can’t lick on me? I do all the pleasing… I’m not with all that fondling and fingering. If I get down I’m the one doing the fucking and sucking,” Dee said as she caressed her calves.

“So you like girls but you don’t like to get ate out? What’s the fun in that?” Toya asked and closed her legs to lean forward for an answer.

“You got it toots… so if you lean back I’ll get that up off ya,” Dee suggested as she placed her hands on Toya’s knees to pry them apart.
