Ezra looked at his phone as he sat in his chair looking out at
the city. He was tired physically and mentally, and he just
wanted to relax. He glanced at his phone again since he was
waiting on a friend to meet him in his suite. They hadn't seen
each other in a couple of weeks and he needed some good energy
in his space. His baby mama woke up on the wrong side of the
bed, and she'd been going off on him via text all day, along
with one of his guys getting caught up. He had his hands full.
He looked at his phone again as a call came through. He sighed
when he saw his babymama name across the screen. He answered it
with a sigh.
Ez. What Erica?
Erica. Dont answer me like that! Like I'm getting on your nerves
or something.. Leilani could be hurt or anything..
Ez. I know you aint call me to argue with me.
Erica. No. But she could be!
Ez. What the **** do you want?!
Erica. Why you so fuckin hostile!? I was tryna make sure you gon
get your damn daughter tomorrow.
Ez. I'll be there to get her. I already told you that ****
Erica.
Erica. I was just makin sure.. You with some ****?
Just before he could respond he heard a knock at his door. He
stood up and began walking to the door.
Ez. Say man. I gotta go..
Erica. You bet not hang up on me! You finna go be with some
****?!
Ez hung up the phone and tossed it on his bed as he opened the
door expecting his friend. He was let down when he saw it was
the room service he'd ordered instead. He allowed them to wheel
the cart in and they exited again. He took his seat on the patio
again leaving the doors to the room open. He decided to go ahead
and start rolling the normal joint they smoked when they linked
up.

Savannah emerged from her car and looked up at the hotel,
shaking her head before texting Samone.
Savannah.:. Idk how long I'll be, but I'll get us something to
eat on my way home. Love you, boo.
She walked into the lobby and checked the text from her friend
Ezra to make sure of the room number. Before she could step
forward, an older white woman was in front of her with a plastic
smile.
Woman. Would you like some assistance, ma'am? I believe the
motel 6 is further down.
Savannah smiled and sized her up.
Savannah. Excuse me?
Woman. You looked as if you were lost.
Savannah. I'm not. I'm where I'm supposed to be.
The woman glared at Savannah as she folded her arms.
Savannah. What is your name?
Woman. I don't believe that's relevant.
Savannah. It is. My husband, Dr. Wellington Carlisle, will want
to know exactly who is disrespecting me.
Woman. You're...Mrs. Carlisle? Miss, I humbly apologize, I just
assumed...
Savannah. You did...and you made a complete fool of yourself by
disrespecting me. But, I feel generous. Tell you what, if you
walk away now, I'll forgive your misdirection and my husband
won't need to hear anything of this.
The woman quickly ran off and Savannah chuckled, making her way
to the elevator...
...Within minutes, Savannah was knocking on Ezra's door. She
stuffed her phone into her purse as the door opened and she
smirked.
Ezra. Wassup?
Savannah. You got me feeling like a high dollar hooker meeting
me in these fancy ass hotels.
Ezra. Shut up. How you been?
They embraced each other and Savannah sighed.
Savannah. Better, actually. I got another gig so things are
looking up. What about you?
Ezra shook his head.
Savannah. Erica, again?
Ezra. I be trying to do right by the girl, man.
Savannah. I told you to leave her alone. Some people don't care
if you're trying. They want you to stay the way you are because
misery loves company.
Savannah put her purse on the nightstand and sat on the foot of
the bed.[/center]

Ez. I can't though.. Soon as I start tryna tell her some ****,
she start threatening to take Lani from me.. I aint havin it..
Ezra shook his head as he thought about how hard Erica goes on
him. They both paused as his phone buzzed on the bed. They both
looked at it and watched it cut off.
Savannah. You know you got 5 missed calls from her right? It
might be important..
Ez. She dont want ****.. I just talked to her.. She tryna see if
I'm with some ****..
Savannah. Well you are with some ****... Aint you?
Ez smirked a little.
Ez. I'm just spending time with a dear friend..
Savannah. Oh.. So I'm a dear friend now?
Ez smiled.
Ez. ****. What you wanna be?
He looked over at Savannah as she smiled and looked away. He
smirked and walked to the patio grabbing the blunt off of the
table. He lit it up as he walked back into the room.
Ez. This whole day been hell.. Erica woke me up on some dumb
****.. Then Lil Mac got jammed up. I lost a dub too..
He took another hit and passed the blunt to her while he sat
next to her at the foot of the bed then he laid backwards. He
ran his hands across the ends of her hair as it laid on her
back.
Ez. I see you fly tonight though. Where you headed?
Savannah. It's where I came from.. I told you I got a new gig..
Ez. Oh yeahh.. What you gon be doin now?

Savannah. Managing my sister's group. She's signing with a label
here soon.
Ezra. Check you out.
She laughed and handed the blunt back to him.
Ezra. I ain't know you was into that shit.
Savannah. I'm not. Or, I wasn't. I ain't gon' trust just anybody
with my sister's career.
Ezra. That's nice of you.
Ezra's phone rang and Savannah watched as Erica's name flashed
again. Without thinking, Savannah picked up the phone and put it
to her ear.
Savannah. Hello?
There was a shocked pause before Erica screamed.
Erica. Who the fuck is this?!
Savannah. Ezra's girlfriend. Who's this?
Erica. Girlfriend?!
Savannah. He stepped out, can I help you with something,
Miss...?
Erica. Nah, you can't help me with shit! I'm the baby mama!
Savannah. Oh, he told me about you! Eureka, is it?
Savannah looked at Eric as he shook his head with a chuckle.
Finally, Erica realized who she was speaking to.
Erica. Bitch, don't play with me. Where my nigga?
Savannah. No idea where he is, but Ezra is in the bathroom.
How's his daughter?
Erica. Don't ask about my child, hoe.
Savannah. Bye, girl.
Savannah hung up the phone with a laugh.
Ezra. You gon' make me catch hell, yo.
Savannah. She'll be okay.
Savannah kicked her heels off and looked at Ezra as he stared at
her.
Savannah. What?
Ezra. You ain't got no fear, huh?
Savannah. As much shit as I been through? Fear is the furthest
thing from my mind.
Ezra. That's why I like you.
Savannah smirked.
Savannah. Aw, you like me?
Ezra. I mean, you aite.
She laughed.
Savannah. Just aite? Damn. I see how it is, Ezra.[/center]

Ez smirked.
Ez. You and that government shit...
Savannah. Yo name is Ezra. Ezra is a nice name.. Your mama did
good..
Ez. I guess...
He continued to play with her hair and at times he would touch
her back. He took his finger running it down her spine. He
watched as she arched her back.
Savannah. Stop. That tickles..
Ez. You like it..
Savannah looked over at him as he laughed.
Savannah. Why is you rubbing on me anyways?
Ez. Cause I want to? Is that a problem?
Savannah. Yes.. It's giving me goosebumps..
Ez. Oh yeah?
He took another hit off the blunt and exhaled as he looked u at
the ceiling. He placed his freehand on his stomach as he thought
about life again. He'd been having the same recurring thoughts
lately and he wasn't sure what to make of it.
Ez. I got a question..
Savannah looked over at him as he passed the joint back and went
back to playing with her hair.
Savannah. What's the question?
Ez sighed as he took a moment to figure out how to word it.
Ez. You ever have a real good friend that you attracted to and
wanna fuck but you don't wanna fuck up the friendship?
Savannah looked over at him and he looked back at her then he
turned his attention back to the ceiling as he continued to play
with her hair.
Ez. I mean.. Do you risk the relationship yall got? Or keep
putting it off?

Savannah kept her composure as she took a long drag from the
blunt. But inside, she could have shit a brick when the question
rolled off his tongue. She sighed as she blew smoke and rested
the blunt in the ashtray.
Savannah. I would make sure I knew where my friend's head was
at. If they wanted to do it, then I would make sure we're at the
understanding of what it is.
Ezra. What you mean?
Savannah. Is it just sex? Is the intention to lead into a
relationship? One time thing? Friends with benefits?
Savannah looked at Ezra out of the corner of her eye as he
nodded.
Ezra. I like her. But, we got a good vibe going and I don't want
to fuck that up because I wanna fuck.
Savannah. Maybe that's all she wants, too. Like I said, best
thing you can do is ask her what she's looking for. For example,
if a man were to approach me now, I would want him to understand
that there's a lot more to me than meets the eye. One night
stands are fine, we don't have to get into particulars and
whatnot.
Ezra. But?
Savannah thought for a second.
Savannah. But, I'm not getting any younger. I've done more shit
in 10 years than most people have done in their lives, and I
think I'm getting to a point where I want to make a home out of
some shit. With this new opportunity, I can't be doing what I
used to. I have to focus in and try my best to make something
outta nothing. I would hope any man that wants to be in my life
long term would support that.[/center]

Ez nodded.
Ez. I can respect that... And you know I support you one
hunnit... But Iono..
Ez sat up in the bed as he took a hit from the blunt.
Ez. I been thinkin about settling down too but... Im on the
road a lot though.. And it aint too many females that understand
why I cant sit still..
Savannah. Cause you got ADHD...
Ez smiled a bit.
Ez. I do... But.. Im also makin money...
Savannah. Yeah.. I hear you.
Ez thought about he and Savannah's friendship over the years and
he looked over at her.
Savannah. What?
Ez. Nun.. Come with me to the patio.. This view is dope..
Ez smiled and stood up taking the blunt with him. They both made
it outside and stood with their hands on the railing looking at
all of Jorden City.
Savannah. This view is crazy... You can see everything up here.
He looked at her as the light made her skin glow and the city
lights reflected in her eyes.. "Damn."
Ez nodded and turned his attention to where he was sitting
before. He'd still had a glass of champagne, the bottle, and
another empty glass on the table.
Ez. You want some? I been drinkin on this shit lately.. My taste
buds den got expensive as fuck..
They both laughed as he picked the bottle and his glass of
champagne and took a sip.

Savannah walked to the small table and poured herself a glass of
champagne.
Savannah. I used to dream about views like this all the time.
Like I would be the bitch to rule the world and nobody could
make or break me.
Ezra. I ain't seen nobody break you and I done known you almost
10 years now.
Savannah. It's happened. More times than I care to admit.
Ezra. Can I ask you something else?
Savannah nodded.
Ezra. Why you don't ever talk about your past? You mention it,
but you don't really be going into details.
Savannah. The details don't matter. What matters is today.
Ezra. How you expect somebody to get to know you, then?
Savannah smirked.
Savannah. You did.
Ezra. So you say.
She chuckled.
Savannah. What you want to know, Ezra?
Ezra. Where were you born?
Savannah. Liberty City.
Ezra. New York girl.
Savannah. Yup. January 11th, little Sonny Davidson was born to
Emile and Sasha Davidson.
Ezra. Sonny?
Savannah sucked in her breath. Before she'd realized it, she had
called her birth name out. She looked at Ezra as he stared at
her intently.
Savannah. Sonny James Davidson is my birth name. I had it
changed at 18...when I had my gender reassignment surgery.
She downed the glass of champagne she'd been nursing and
immediately poured herself another one. "Bitch...he got you that
wide open?"[/center]

Ez stared at her as he took another sip of his champagne. He was
still letting the words process through his mind.. "Gender
reassignment.."
Ez. Gender reassignment?
Savannah nodded.
Savannah. I wasn't born a woman.. In the physically sense...
He continued to stare at her as a dozen thoughts ran through his
mind. He was almost in disbelief. "Niiiiiggggggggaaaa". He went
ahead and tossed the rest of his champagne back. Once he
finished his refill, his eyes fell on her again. He was finally
looking at her again, and she looked the most nervous he'd ever
seen her.
Ez. Damn...
He knew he had to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
He and Savannah had been friends since their early 20s, and she
was the closest woman to him outside of his relatives, and never
in a million years would he have guessed that she had surgery..
He looked her up and down again. She'd looked the same since
he'd known her.
Ez. So uhh. You don't have a dick right?
He watched as she shook her head..
Savannah. I had the surgery when I was 18.. We met when I was
20..
Ez nodded as he took another sip of his champagne.
Ez. So you been a woman huh?
Savannah nodded.
Ez. Good.. Cause I...
Ezra paused and looked at her again. He was torn because he was
still attracted to her. He took another sip of his drink while
thoughts bounced around in his head. "You dont like niggas...
But she aint a nigga... But she had a dick... But not no more...
Not since you known her.. She fine as fuck... You been thinkin
bout her ass... But..." His thoughts were interrupted by his
phone going off again. He heard the sound of the text alert and
they both made eye contact... He walked past her and into the
room picking up his phone off the bed.
Shaun.:. Say nigga. I just wanted your dumb ass to know I love
you.. Wit cho stupid ass! Hahahaha. Bye.
He laughed a little bit and tossed his phone back on the bed
and looked out at the balcony where Savannah stood with her back
to him. He approached running his finger down her spine again.
Ez. Look.. You know me.. I like women.... And shit. As far as
I'm concerned.. You one of the baddest that I've met.. You safe
wit me aite? Always have been.. Always will be..

Savannah. You don't have to, E...
Ezra. I don't have to what?
Savannah. You don't have to be okay with it.
She looked up at him.
Savannah. I came to terms a long time ago that not everyone will
accept it or be okay with it and I know it's a lot to handle.
Ezra. Stop. Look at me.
Savannah watched as Ezra grabbed her hands and locked their
fingers slowly.
Ezra. You safe. Okay?
Savannah. It's going to be in the back of your mind. "Damn, she
used to have a dick."
Ezra. I mean, Savannah, it ain't like I ain't gon think about
it. You not saying you got a boob job.
She nodded.
Savannah. I know.
Ezra. Why you didn't tell me until now?
Savannah. It just never came up. Ezra, it's not something I ever
had to think about. I was only Sonny for the first 4 years of my
life. Inside? I was always Savannah.
Ezra. What happened? Like, what made you realize it?
Savannah brushed her hair out of her face and licked her lips.
Savannah. I first realized it when I was 6 years old. I was
playing dress-up with my cousins, and my father walked in and
caught me wearing my older sister's dress and shoes. I thought
he was gon' beat me until I had no skin on my back.
Ezra. How did that help you realize that?
Savannah. Because I never felt that comfortable when I got to
wear her clothes. Even after him beating me, I still felt like I
was just in the wrong body.
Ezra. How you wind up in foster care?
She leaned against the railing, his arms on either side of her
as they looked at each other.
Savannah. When I was 8, I came home from school to police
everywhere. My house was roped off and everything.
Ezra. What happened?
Savannah. The story I've always been told is that my father came
home early and found my mother in bed with a lover. He snapped
and killed them. My sister got home for work and he killed her,
too. My neighbors heard my sister's screams and called the cops.
She shrugged.
Savannah. No one else would take me so I got put in the system.
Rumor had got around that Emile and Sasha had a "fruit" for a
son.
She wiped the few tears that wanted to fall from her face.
Nobody knew her story, and she thought she was comfortable with
that. But, vocalizing part of her trauma brought emotions and
thoughts that she thought were long buried.
Savannah. I'm sorry, I don't mean to cry.[/center]
