Twisted Fate: Amnesia

High-Key Frenemies

Narrators P.O.V

At the Hendrix house Shay, Tiffany, and the boys get ready for the basement party that’s happening later tonight. Shay comes down the stairs in a fluffy blue shower towel. Sion who’s sitting in the living room is the first to see her.

“Why are you walking around in a towel?” He looks up from the television with an exhausted expression.

“All of my clothes are in the dryer.” Shay looks around the living room feeling better that it’s empty.

“You didn’t bring over any other clothes last night?” Sion interrogates her.

“No, I didn’t plan on spending the night.”

“So, why did you?” He crosses his arms now standing up in front of the couch.

“Me and Mama Tina were up late watching What's Love Got to Do with It. She didn’t feel like taking me home by the time the movie went off.

“Mama! You know she naked here?” Sion hollered towards the kitchen where his mother was.

“She’s covered up and stop yelling in my house.” Tina warns.

“Whoa, who’s birthday, is it?” Sincere arches his brow at Shay as he walks in the house with his camera glued to his hand.

“Hush boy, Shay, that looks like your friend at my window. Is that weave in her hair?” Tina asked while looking out the front window from a distance. Shay turned to look out the window as well.

“Oh, yeah, she’s going with me.” Tiffany stood on the porch with Silas and his friends, she wasn’t allowed in the house. None of their friends were allowed in the house unless they were close like family. It was a known rule, they had to stay on the porch, the backyard or leave. Shay walked up to the door and stood in the house behind the screen door to talk to Tiffany since all she wore was a towel. All of Silas’s friends watched her and started whispering to each other. “Hey Tiff, I’ll be out in about ten minutes.”

“Hey beautiful” McGee flirts.

“Boy, look away.” Tiffany fusses and blocks his view.

“You don’t want them problems.” JJ shakes his head.

“What problems?” Shay asks.

“Ignore them, you like my hair?” Tiffany says rubbing her hair.

“Blue streaks fit you.” Shay nods.

“I know, I was so happy my mama let me get it.” Tiff started playing with her hair looking at her reflection in the window. Silas walked in the house, backing Shay up into the house with him by placing his hand on her stomach. He pushed the door closed behind him and leaned into her. With his mouth close to her ear and a grip on her towel.

“Don’t get f****d up.” He whispered in a stern tone before walking away from her. Shay straightened her wrinkled towel as he went upstairs. Shay went to the laundry room in the back of the kitchen While Sin followed Silas upstairs.

“What was that about?” Sincere asks Silas.

“What?”

“What’d you say to her?” He asked with his camera on record.

“Nothing worth repeating.” Silas was now annoyed and wanted nothing more than for his brother to get out of his room.

“Don’t get f****d up.” Shay said while standing in the doorway of Silas room. She wore black yoga pants and a white sports bra under her black sweater that was zipped down right above her belly button since she rushed putting it on.

“Who?” Sin turned his camera to Shay quickly.

“That’s what he said to me.” She said when she saw Sin’s face.

“Where’s the rest of your clothes?” Silas frowned at her.

“Mama picked this out.” Shay said matter-of-factly.

“No, she didn’t” Sin pressed his lips in a straight line.

“Go put a shirt on so we could go.” Silas said plainly.

“This is what I’m wearing.”

“You must be staying in the house tonight.” Silas eyed her.

“You better listen to your daddy Shay.” Sin mocked as he stepped back to get both of them in his camera view at once.

“Shut up! Y’all are both annoying.” Shay left his room and zipped up her sweater to cover her bra. She went outside with Tiffany, and they started walking to the party. They met Chrissy on the way, with the boys not far behind them. Tiffany complained about Shay’s hair the whole way there. Shay pulled her hair into a messy bun and put her hood on. They walked by Emily’s house so her mom would think she was going to a sleepover with them. Shay felt uneasy not knowing where Emily was going to go after the party.

“A line to get into a basement. Are they serious?” Tiffany asked as they walked up to their destination and got in line.

“It’s probably packed down there.” Emily Suggested.

“Tell them it’s your birthday so we could skip the line.” Tiffany told Shay.

“No, and my birthday isn’t until the end of the week.”

“Why y’all standing here?” Sin asked as he approached them.

“Because they’re nobodies.” Sion laughed.

“Did saying that make you feel better?” Shay asked in disgust.

“Come on, we don’t gotta wait in line.” Silas said walking away.

“That’s what happens when you’re not a loser Shay.” Sion adds.

“I’m not a loser.” Tiffany brags.

“Says you.” Sion rolls his eyes.

They walked to the front of the line and the guys at the door started talking to the boys as if they were the best of friends. Sion gestured for them to go inside, and Tiffany walked in holding Emily’s arm with Shay and Chrissy behind them getting hit on by guys as they pass by.

Sincere

“Fifty dollars says he get cursed the f*ck out for recording somebody’s a*s.” Silas bets Sion once we get inside.

“A hundred says he gets hit by her boyfriend for recording her a*s.” Sion added on.

“I bet everything y’all got that I’ll tap said a*s before we leave here tonight.” I know what I’m capable of.

“Bet, Silas?” Sion turned around and Silas was gone.

“That ninja a h*e.” I shook my head, chuckling.

“Where did he go?” Sion yelled over the music, I’m pretty sure he’s the slow brother at this point. I turned on the night vision mode and focused my camera on Silas, who was in the corner dancing between two hotties. Or maybe one hottie and her passible friend.

“Look in the camera.” I lean the camera down to show Sion the screen.

“Oh, s**t, I’ll go help him.” His excited a*s turned to walk away. I grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back.

“Nah, go get your own.”

“Whatever ninja.” He shook my hand off his shoulder and walked the opposite way. I went looking for them goofy girls hoping they were looking like a hot mess by the time I found them. Instead, I see Emily making her way over to Silas and his two new hot friends.

“This I gotta get.” I followed behind her to see if she caused a scene and put his a*s on blast or if she’s going to shoo them away respectfully. Maybe she’s a freak and will join their little twerk-fest in the corner. Then again, Emily is not working with much a*s. Though I’ve seen little booties work wonders, anything’s possible.

“Am I interrupting something?” She asked loud enough to be heard through the music. That girl got a big mouth on her, da*n.

“Not at all.” Silas grabs Emily by her waist and pulls her into him. The two girls he was dancing with rolled their eyes and walked away. One of them asked the other “What’s he doing with that white girl?” I had to laugh at that. H*es love playing the race card when they can’t get a man. I know I told him to watch his back with her because her parents aren’t too fond of colored brothers. But Emily is a good girl from what I’ve heard and non-confrontational from what I’ve seen. While I’m patiently waiting for her to knock his head off, she starts smiling as he whispers lies in her ear. It’s almost like he controls her, the way she conformed.

“Boo!!!” I yell at them.

“HA! She caught him with them girls, didn’t she?” Sion yells.

“Hell yeah, hold this.” I handed my camera to Sion. A real pretty one caught my attention before they turned the lights off and she just caught my attention again. I’m not gonna miss out on her twice, Silas can’t be the only one having fun tonight. I didn’t have to say anything when I approached her. She smiled and started dancing on me with no hesitation. We danced for the next three twerk songs, this girl doesn't get tired. I wonder if that’s only with dancing or if she’s really about that. She slipped her number in my hand before I walked away.

The DJ played “I Wanna Rock” and a small girl with what I’d call the softest booty backed up into me accidentally. My lucky a*s put my hand on the arch of her back while holding her hip and it was on from there. By the time everybody started screaming “Doo Doo brown!” she had me against the wall gyrating her a*s in every direction possible. She slowed down and started grinding with her back up against my chest. I allowed my hands to roam her body until she bent over and threw it back. This girl had me rock hard before the song was over. She stood up and walked away at the end without even a glance at me, What the f*ck?

A slow song came on and the room was full of a bunch of babies pretending to make babies, including myself. A Spanish flower kept me occupied until the party was over. She gave me her number, said call after 9 pm, and she’ll kick my a*s if I forget to call her. Crazy she is, but I’m still going to call her. I gotta get that other girl number before I leave though, she can’t be walking away like that.

Shay

We walked back to the Hendrix house a little after 9 pm. Emily went home early for an unknown reason to the rest of us. I assumed she got tired of watching different girls throw themselves at Silas since he didn’t turn all of them down. I wouldn’t mind him dancing but some girls tend to do the most and boys are dumb. Sion carried me on his back because my feet were hurting, and I asked him a million times. We stopped by Emily’s house so Silas could see her before we went into the house for the night. Tiffany caught an instant attitude and ended up leaving us when we got to Emily’s. Chrissy wants to convince Silas to give Tiffany a chance if things don’t work out with Emily. I’d have to think about that one, maybe it’ll be a good thing. Emily spoke to Silas but gave me dirty looks out of nowhere.

“Y’all both spending the night, right?” Sion asks, ignoring Emily.

“Yeah, I’m going home tomorrow after church.” Chrissy yawns.

“And you?”

“Tomorrow night my mom will get me on her way home from work.” I lay my head on Sions, choosing to ignore her as well.

“Ight where y’all sleeping at?” Sin asks.

“The couch.”

“Seriously?” Sin looks at me suspiciously.

“You’re not trying to steal anyone's bed tonight?” Sion gasp.

“Nope, I’ll be fine in the living room tonight.”

“I’m stealing a bed tonight.” Chrissy stretches tiredly.

“Go to my room, I’ll take the other couch.” Sincere offers.

“Who you sneaking out to see?” I ask, watching him.

“Mind your business, Child.”

“Whatever, I’ll leave you to your h*e antics.” I roll my eyes as we start walking. After we got home, Sion asked a million questions while we got ready for bed. He wanted to know if we had a favorite dance, what song it was, and if we could describe the person we were dancing with. Which was almost impossible with all the lights off in there. Once we all got settled in the living room, he put the tape from the camera in the tv and told us we had to see this asap.

“Don’t get mad after you watch this, but I think two out of five of y’all are talking about the same person.” Sion looked beyond amused. I looked at Chrissy assuming he’s referring to us being that we’re the only two girls here. Silas was most likely dancing with Emily to the slow song he said he liked. And Who knows who Sin likes, he’s a h*e.

“Play the video and turn it down so mama don’t flip.” Sin instructed. Sion played the video and it started with Sincere flirting with a few girls and zooming in on their curves every once in a while. Then Silas was in a sandwich with two chicks before Emily stopped him. Chrissy gave JJ a lap dance and Tiffany did the same for a few guys.

“Get to the good stuff, I want to see who shorty is.” Sin rushed.

“Fine, look.” Sion chuckled while turning his attention back to the tv. When Sion fast forward the video, I felt as if my heart fell to my butt. Sincere sat on the edge of his seat staring at the tv. I looked down at my hands and picked at my nails. Silas was watching the tv, but he had his hand partially covering his face biting his thumbnail in a nonchalant manner. Chrissy didn’t look happy at all, and JJ laughed the whole time.

“Are you kidding me?” Chrissy blurted out as if she just walked in on her lover cheating on her.

“Why’re you mad?” JJ asked her.

“I’m not” She snapped.

“You know what this means right?” Sincere asks. I looked at him, but I didn’t say anything, I didn’t understand why Chrissy had the audacity to catch an attitude. It was a simple dance, nothing more, nothing less.

“Don’t say anything yet watch this.” Sion played the video and a Jodeci song started playing. I remember dancing to ‘Forever My Lady’ clearly. I could have lost my virginity the way that boy was grinding with me. At one point we were face to face, nose to nose, head-to-head, but I didn’t look up at him. I was looking down at the way our bodies moved perfectly together.

“You kissed him, and he has a girlfriend now!” Chrissy shouted. I looked up to everybody looking at me with pure amusement on their faces. Everyone except for Silas and Sincere of course.

“I didn’t kiss anyone, don’t lie.” I snapped at her.

“Looks like it.” Sion shrugged not really caring. When I looked at the tv and saw myself up against the wall face to face, legs up as I remember. But this time I can see Silas standing between my legs with a tight grip on my thigh.

“Nobody kissed. Relax” Silas said carelessly.

“Da*n Shay, two in one night?” JJ teased.

“I was gonna tell you, you had to spend the night in my room tonight until I saw you having dry s*x.” Sin groaned. If he only knew.

“And you said she was your favorite dance partner.” JJ hummed.

“Silas said she was his favorite too, not Emily.” Chrissy added.

“Girl you must have skills.” Sion smiles doing a weird dance.

“Stop.” I feel my cheeks heat up with embarrassment.

“It’s okay, nothing wrong with being wanted.” Sion reassures.

“But nothing happened.” I state.

“Yet.” The disgust rolled off Chrissy’s tongue.

“What’s your problem?” I snap at her, sick of her s**t.

“Chill it was just a dance.” Silas said I assume catching it too,

“Yeah, y’all dragging it. I’ll be back though, don’t lock the door.” Sin announced before heading out.

“Welp, Sincere has spoken. He’s not gonna stop playing with his groupies. What about you two?” Chrissy continues pushing.

“Nothing changes.” I say before standing up.

“Silas has a whole live girl.” JJ twist his face up at Chrissy.

“Whatever, that didn’t stop him now did it.” She rolls her neck.

“None of which is your business, Chriscinda. Go to bed.” Silas says sharply. I walked into the kitchen to get some clothes out the laundry room. I wasn’t sure how I felt about my life right now, but I know Chrissy is doing way too much. I stood in the kitchen for a minute because I didn’t feel like fighting. I heard footsteps going upstairs when Silas walked into the kitchen. He took the container of gr*pes out the fridge and leaned on the counter studying me.

“What are you doing for your birthday?” He asks me.

“I’m not sure yet, why?” I watch him eat a gr*pe.

“No reason, how do you feel about Emily?” He ask moving to stand directly in front of me.

“I don’t know, what about her?” I look at him confused.

“Should I break up with her?” He asks me bluntly.

“I don’t know Silas, do what you want.” I answer looking him in the eyes. He smirks as if he knows something I don’t.

“Good answer.” He says before putting the gr*pes back in the fridge. He left the kitchen and went straight upstairs. When I looked in the living room everyone was gone. I got my blanket and my cd player out of the closet so I could lay down and not think about anything that happened tonight. I shouldn’t feel anything for any of them and I know it. My favorite dance was that specific Jodeci song, and I told them that before I knew it was him. I’m glad no one brought that up while they were clowning me. I really need to stop thinking about them and go to sleep. I closed my eyes and played my music when I heard the front door opening. I counted to thirty before I opened my eyes to see Sincere stretched out on the love seat with his feet hanging over the side. I closed my eyes back not wanting him to know I’m awake, I don’t want to talk about anything tonight or ever. I embarrassed myself and felt like things won’t be the same after Chrissy goes and tells the world what she saw.

“I know you ain’t sleep.” I keep my eyes shut and attempt to ignore him and listen to my music. For a few seconds, my music stops while it switches to the next song. While its quiet I could hear Sincere moving around. As soon as the next song begins to play, I’m hit in the face by a couch pillow. “Get up.”

“What do you want?” I ask with my voice kind of muffled by my own pillow.

“Move over.” He gets up to stand in front of the couch I’m on.

“No, did you shower?”

“Why? What are you talking about?”

“Don’t try to lay over here after you were laying with your girlfriend.” I wrinkle my nose knowing he was doing more than that.

“Wow, are you jealous?” He incites with a smirk.

“No, good night.” I say before playing my music again. Sin sucked his teeth and laid behind me on the long couch. He fixed my blanket to now cover the both of us before getting comfortable.

“Don’t overthink the party Shay-Bae it was just a dance.” He says before laying his head down.

“What do you mean? I’m fine.”

“I saw your face when they played the video and I know you. There is no reason for you to avoid us when you come over here and no reason for you to avoid coming here at all.” He dr*ped his arm over my waist under the blanket.

“I wasn’t going to avoid you, But I do want you to move.” I say without turning to look at him.

“Whatever, why should I move?”

“Didn’t you just have s*x?”

“No, why would you think that?”

“That’s what you insinuated before you left to do it.”

“No, that is what Chrissy insinuated. I simply left little girl.”

“Well, you still did it.”

“I did not go have s*x then come lay on the couch with you.” I turned over, now lying on my back to look up at Sincere. He wrapped his arm across me, tucking his hand under my back.

“Then what did you do?”

“Remember that girl on the bike you argued with in front of the house?”

“You mean the one who called me a filthy w***e for saying hi to you?”

“Yup, that’s the one.”

“You were still with her?”

“Not really. I went to meet her tonight to remind her that we’re not together so she could stop stalking me.” He folded his lips together and looked at me with his grey eyes.

“Why was she stalking you? That’s the third girl Sin, what are you doing?” I notice that’s becoming a thing. All of a sudden, these girls don’t want to leave after they breakup.

“It’s a long story.” He rubbed his eye’s before continuing when I looked at him. “It has something to do with Sapphire and a lady named, Aurora. It’s weird, just know that girl is gone now.”

“So, you’re really cursed? Women really do get attached to you?” I ask in disbelief. I’ve heard the rumors, but I’ve never believed them.

“Yes, that’s why you’re off limits.” He smiles and kisses my cheek.

“Ugh,” I wiped my cheek off dramatically. “When did you stop seeing me as your little sister?”

“When you came over less and grew up more. But that doesn’t mean I won’t protect you. It just means you can get it if you ask.” He wiggled his brows making me slap him.

“Whatever, you better leave me alone.”

“Until you beat me up, I will do as I please.”

“So, you didn’t hook up with anyone tonight?” I ask again to be clear. Making note to look into Aurora and Sapphire.

“I didn’t, but that could change Shay-Bae.” He squeezes my side and looks at me before wiggling his brows.

“Shut up.” Just as I say that we hear footsteps coming down the stairs.

“Here comes your warden.” Sin whispers into my neck.

“Don’t start.” I lightly hit his arm that’s holding me.

“Mm, he’s about to have a fit.” I feel his breath on me when he whispers.

“No, he’s not, he has no reason to.” I cut my eyes to the stairs.

“But he will.” Sin says lowly.

“Want to bet?” I ask before he makes it down the stairs.

“You clean my room twice a week for a month.” Sin rushes out.

“Okay, and if I win you have to give Chrissy a chance.” I say hushed.

“What?” Sin blurted out in a hushed tone. I started laughing when Sin covered his face and groaned. Silas emerged from behind the wall coming down the stairs with an expressionless face. He looked right at me but didn’t seem to care about anything as I suspected. Then Sin pinched my thigh under the blanket and put his face in my neck, brushing his lips across my skin, causing me to gasp. When I did that, Silas slowed down as if he were going to stop walking with his eyes on us in a questioning gaze. He then shook his head and continued to the kitchen. I slapped Sin in the back of his head, and I felt his breath on my neck as he laughed silently. He pulled the blanket down from his face with the evil smirk I know so well.

“I like my pillows to be fluffed on my bed as well.” He said under his breath.

“The bet is not over.” I rolled my eyes at him.

“Oh, but it is.” He said in a confident tone. Sin then tickled me causing me to burst into laughter before covering my mouth to muffle the sound. I bit his hand, and he bit my jaw in return. I yelped and Silas casually walked out of the kitchen with a big bag of chips and a 2-litter soda in his hand. He placed his stuff in one hand when he got close to the couch and snatched my blanket off of me and Sincere.

“Get up.” He said then his jaw tensed a little.

“Whoa, why?” I asked shocked.

“Twice a week, for a month. Fluffed pillows and all.” Sin smiles

“Thanks Silas.” I say sarcastically.

“My pleasure. Now go, Chrissy wants to talk to you.” Sin chuckled and pulled my blanket out of Silas hand. Silas turned the tv on and stayed downstairs while I went to talk to Chrissy. She was lying in Sins bed sleeping like a baby when I peeked in there. Silas is a lying control freak. Sincere always takes things too far, and both of them are getting cursed out right now. I’m about to close the door when I hear Chrissy’s sleepy voice. “Shay?”

“Yes.”

“Would you come lay with me?”

“Sure.”

“I’m sorry. I was a little jealous.”

“All is forgiven.” I stayed there until she went to sleep. After that I gave Sin and Silas a piece of my mind. They then got back on topic and created a pallet on the floor using the couch cushions.

“How did you get her to submit?” Sin ask and my ears perk up. Silas cut his eyes to me and smirked.

“It’s different ways just gotta do what feels right.” He says casually as I look through the movies avoiding his eyes.

“I’m gonna look into it, that s**t might be in your nature.” Sin adds as I show them the case to a horror movie. “Put it in. Shay, how do you feel about Dom and Sub relationships?” Sin studies me.

“I don’t know, I never thought about it.” I say grabbing the VCR remote and sitting between them on the pallet.

“Think about it.” Sin says laying back on the pillows.

“I like the idea of controlling a boy. Taking him to his peak.” I say after thinking about it.

“You would definitely be a sub. Shay, stop playing.” Sin laughed.

“How do you figure?” I look at him frowning.

“Come here.” Silas says pulling a blanket over himself. I scoot closer to him still waiting for Sin’s answer.

“Shay.” Sin looks at me with a straight face. “Why did you move?” I look back at Silas who wore a smirk and shook my head. I soon fell asleep laying between them and woke up the next morning the same way. Both of their arms wrapped around me in different area’s and Chrissy sitting on the couch watching us sleep.

“Good morning poly whores.” She snickers.

“Good morning bitter b*tch.” I smirk at her, getting a laugh out of Sin and Silas as they start to wake up.
