“ NO WHERE ! “ Pt1 !!!
Monday night I was dragged out
to this club by a friend of my cousin , I wasn’t dressed or in the correct mind frame
to attend any gay function on a Monday night in new York , I was past
tipsy due to the drinks Marra served to
the small group that gathered in my Aunts Lefrak City apartment Marra knew how to make a good potent drink
and a meal that will leave u full and satisfied . Lefrak City was a second home to me as a
child, it felt safe there so I knew I would
be in good hands if I did decide to step out
with my cousins friend “Shawn”
. It was a beautiful summer
night in June when my cousin
Ronald suggested I meet “Shawn” who
lived across the hall from him in his
building .
He mentioned Shawn was
“ good peoples” and he would probably
offer me a drink or something to eat if we went across
the hall to say hello !. Well we did
just that we took that short walk down
the hall, felt like I was walking the plank but I was just a lil tipsy ,
when we arrived at the apartment door a short brown skin older gentlemen
with glasses ermerged from the apartment with a smile and a cocktail in his hand ,
Shawn opened the door and invited us
inside he had a guest sitting in his kitchen he was a heavier gentlemen of the of a dark complexion accompanied by a standoffish demeanor .
Ron quickly chimed
in “ Shawn , this is my cousin Johnny I been
telling you so much about” . Shawn extended his hand out for a hand
shake we shook and and I said
“ Oh your Shawn , we finally meet “ I said
. Shawn replied” yes " your very handsome !, i smiled with coy demanor “ and this is my
friend “Leroy” as he pointed to the
standoffish character in the corner playing with his blackberry , he lifted his head up all of 2 seconds and said ” hello” in the deepest slurred voice Ive ever heard , he grabbed his drink took a long sip then quickly resumed his “business” on his phone . Shawn quickly
changed the mood “ Johnny would you like
a drink ?” with a big warm smile and chinky eyes “ ummmm “
I replied .. Ive been drinking a…. lil tipsy I think I will hold off
on the cocktail but thank you anyway I said
. Shawn quickly persuaded me to have a
drink he handed me the flute filled with
a bubbly pink substance which I finished quickly me and Shawn began to speak about his plans to go out with Leroy to “ nowhere” a club on 14th
street in Manhattan that I have never
heard of I felt so out the loop , I didn’t
front like I knew where this place was or what it was about cause I didn’t ,
the next voice I heard was the slurr again saying “ girlllll u should come “ I know for sure this dude aint calling me “
gurrrrlll” and he just met me only 2.3 seconds ago so I didn’t evan bother to look in Leroys
direction , but Shawn interjected and said “ yea you should join us , it will be fun “… *sideeye* and that’s what
I did gave them both the “sideeye” .. as I looked at my self in the mirror analyzing
my outfit the many cups of liquor allowed
myself to belive that I was appropriately
dressed for this occasion so I said
“ suree why not “ .. they were elated that I would join them so we had a few
more drinks with my cousin Ron and Marra
and we headed out . The three of us made
our way to the lobby via the elevator it was about almost 1am .. an hour early than
im use to heading to any club especially
in NewYork . it felt great outside as I held a plastic cup
filled with wine in it , the three of us
walked the pavement to the train station
that walk seemed like forever from Horace Harding express way.
The next thing I knew I was
swipping my metro card and going through
the turnstile the R train was just arriving as Shawn Leroy and I came walking down the stairs We were laughing and keke’in
like drunken fools at a picture Shawn
took of Leroy peeing at a phone booth , honestly didn’t think it was that hilarious
but if u saw Leroy in this drunken state he was
in it was pure comedy ! . Once we made it on to the train Leroy was going on and on about being my “gay
father” and that he wanted to guide me
in this gay lifestyle , I just looked at him like “ chile boo” and thought in my head “ I been
in this liftstyle for almost 10years now and ive gotten this far unscaved I GOOD ! “. I let Leroy continue his rant as
Shawn seemed to get a lil annoyed at the fact that h wasn’t included in that particular
conversation , the train must have been running on red bull that night because we made it down Manhattan in no time we excited the train and caught a cab a short distance a
block away from the club as we exited the cab Shawn explained to Leroy he
wanted to get change to give to the
dancers inside the club , my mind went racing
what type of place are they dragging me too a freakin strip freak nasty
show Leroy saw the look on my face he
said to me “ there be fine pieces of “ trade” in their honey , and they
got these back rooms they we can go in a get a “ private show” chile” Yikes I thought I def didn’t have that in
mind but hey I didn’t have anything to loose at this point ……
TO BE CONTINUED .....
