WE POP CHAMPAGNE OOOOOOH

[kumkaniudaku]

FRIENDS (Two)

ONE. 

Word Count: 1.7k 

Maya sat in a rocking chair between both cribs, singing a native Wakandan lullaby when a light knock forced her eyes open.

“Kitten, they are here. Can we come in?”

“Wait, let me get in position,” she urged as she rushed to hide her growing belly behind a large stuffed animal. T’Challa smiled at her dramatics and waited for her signal. “Okay! I’m ready. Let them in.”

Motioning outside of the door, T’Challa ushered Chadwick and Tasha into the room and watched their eyes grow wide with wonder.

“Whose nursery is this? It’s -it’s beautiful.”

“This one room is bigger than the apartment I had in New York,” Chadwick whispered to himself. “Two little people are gonna live in here.”

Maya and T’Challa shared a look of mischief that didn’t go unnoticed by CoCo. Pointing between the monarch, she shifted her weight to one side to begin her questioning. 

“Y’all look like y’all are hiding something.”

“Us? Hiding something? Noooo,” T’Challa started in a comical attempt to conceal the secret.

“Leave the acting to me, Challa,” Maya laughed. “We may or may not have an answer to who the nursery belongs to, though.”

Stepping from behind the stuffed animal, Maya watched Tasha’s facial expressions change in real time. Confusion gave way to shock before shock turned into an ear-splitting squeal that had only been heard one previous time on the night she got engaged.

“Star, a baby!?” Tasha’s excited tears morphed her words into a happy, slurred congratulations.

“Not just a baby,” Maya smiled, gesturing toward both cribs. “Babies. We’re having twins.”

“Oh my...twins. Two! I-I don’t even know words right now. Come here and hug me!”

The two embraced while their husbands exchanged congratulatory handshakes. Both women could feel the weight being lifted from Maya’s shoulders. When they last saw each other in Paris, the young Queen expressed fears surrounding having more children following her miscarriage. Now, she was overjoyed to share the addition of not one, but two new Udakus with one of the people there for her every step of the way.

Pulling away from the hug, Maya and Tasha shared short chuckles at the tears in both of their eyes. “You know, Co, you called it. You said we would have twins.”

“I did, didn’t I. Does that mean one of the babies will have my name? Wait, do you guys know the genders?”

“No and no,” T’Challa answered with a laugh. “But, when the gender reveal is planned, you two will be the first to receive invites.”

“Not knowing the gender won’t stop our turn up, though,” Maya exclaimed as she did an animated dance to show her excitement. “Tonight, we are yachting under the stars!”

“I like the sound of that,” Chadwick smiled, pulling his wife into his side. “I’ve been trying to get this one to dress up and go out for weeks.”

“Then it’s settled! Kali will come and get you guys at sundown to meet us, Erik, and Jasmine, for a night of grown fun. Make sure to wear something cute. For now, let’s go get some lunch. I’m hungry.”

“Kitten, you just ate.”

“And now, I’m eating again.” Maya’s face screwed up at T’Challa, making Tasha giggle behind her fingers. “C’mon, girl. You ever had jollof? I make the chefs keep me some on standby.”

Tasha eagerly followed Maya out of the room and down the hallway as they caught up, leaving T’Challa and Chadwick to decide what their next move would be.

“Hey man, has anyone ever told your cousin that he looks like Michael B. Jordan?”

T’Challa’s smile added to the mischievous glint in his eyes, “The young man from America with the identity crisis? I do not believe that he has heard that one, but I believe he quite enjoys Michael’s work. We should go and meet him so that you can tell him in person, eh?”

“I feel like you setting me up for failure, bro.”

“Never, my friend. But, just in case, he has weak knees. Go for the legs.”

Pink and orange hues settled over the horizon like a painting, lighting the varying shades of brown skin in a beautiful bronze glow. Though Erik had to be coerced into attending after the celebrity look-alike fiasco, Jasmine was finally able to convince her husband to get over it and leave the palace.

Champagne flutes in hand, the couples laughed all the way to the port holding the vehicle of choice for the night, “So we are heading to Lake Malawi. It’s absolutely gorgeous and the sun is about to set, so you’ll see what I mean.”

The smooth vibranium car came to a halt at the port and the men helped their significant others out of the car.

Jasmine and Erik were warming up to the Boseman’s making small talk as T’Challa guided Maya to the yacht. “I shouldn’t have worn these heels. Shit!”

“You should not be wearing them anyway.”

“Oh hush! I have a few more weeks until I retire the heels.” Maya was still happy that she could wear her heels and tight dresses before the twins decided to make their presence really known.

Maya smiled at hearing Co and Chad’s reactions after everyone got on board, “The water is so beautiful!”

“Isn’t it! The stars reflect in the water and you can see the fish!”

The vibranium grade yacht sailed through the water and bottles of champagne were popped. “Juice for Maya.” Yanking the non-alcoholic beverage out of Erik’s hand, Maya mumbled and pouted but took a sip.

“Alright, lovebirds, we’re here to turn up! We should start with a toast.” Glasses were passed around and refilled until each couple met in the middle of the outdoor seating area of the watercraft. Nestled into T’Challa’s side, Maya rose her glass to begin. “This is a toast to new life, being in love, and getting some tonight!”

“I’ll toast to that,” Tasha exclaimed, rushing to touch glasses with the other women before chugging the bubbling contents of her glass. Amused laughter followed in reaction to Chadwick’s eyebrows raised in genuine surprise.

“Sounds like you got some work to do, bro,” Erik laughed, earning a look from Jas.

“You too, boy.” Following Tasha’s earlier actions, she began chugging the liquid in her flute before refilling and drinking half of the second glass. “I want rounds, too, so you better get to drinking!”

Drinks and laughs flowed easily as the sun gave way to a plethora of stars in the onyx sky. As the alcohol settled, the couples had individual moments of handsy behavior, leading to an impromptu game of Truth or Drink.

“Okay, okay,” Maya laughed after Erik was forced to come clean about cry over a breakup period with Jas. The Queen was the only sober member of the group, leaving her to have her fun with the other parties involved. “Co, it’s your turn.”

“I’m ready. I’m telling the truth no matter what. I swear.” Her words were a bit slurred, putting Chadwick on alert should he have to intervene in her “sharing.”

“Alright, sis, you said it not me.” Searching through an internet page of suggestive questions, Maya landed on one that hadn’t been asked all night and showed it to her husband.

T’Challa took a look at the question and smiled, “I am sure Chad will not allow that to be answered.”

“Oh hell. Do I get to see the question and make a decision for both of us?”

“Nope! Play by the rules T’Twin.” Chadwick playfully rolled his eyes while Maya prepared to read off the question. “So, Tasha, have you and your man ever recorded a sexual encounter? If no, why not? If yes, briefly give us the details.”

Considering the Udaku’s own encounters with sex tapes, everyone leaned closer for an answer to the racy question. Chadwick finished the contents of his glass, preferring to let his wife stammer through the answer.

Tasha smiled and flipped her hair over her shoulder, “You really wanna know?”

“Either tell the truth or drink, sis. You know the rule,” Jas smiled.

Biting her lip, Tasha shared a look with Chadwick to ask for permission to continue. His noncommittal shrug gave her the green light. “So, we’ve done it a few times. Most recently for my birthday this year.”

“Yaaaassss! Details. Now!” Jumping out of her seat, Maya wiggled her way between Chadwick and Tasha, forcing him to move to the other side of the yacht. “Tell me everything. I need your positions list, what were you wearing, EVERYTHING!”

Jas also moved closer, taking a seat on the table across from the women to wait for Tasha’s story.

While the women squealed in anticipation, Erik looked to Chadwick and T’Challa with worried eyes. “I’m not gon’ hear no weird shit, right?”

“I cannot promise that, cousin.”

“And I can’t promise your lady won’t share some of your business, too. Just know, whatever happens during couple’s night out, doesn’t get discussed later.”

Erik nodded as he looked over to the women hanging on to Tasha’s every word, occasionally adding a shocked gasp or one-worded feedback.

“It started with him recording me in some lingerie he got for the night, next thing I know, I’m holding the camera while he’s got my legs over my head.”

“I’m assuming you still have the tape,” Maya inquired.

“The full thing is as home, but I always keep a few clips on my phone for...research.”

“Oooooooh! Let us see!”

The men watched Tasha fumble with her cell phone until unfiltered moans and curses emitting from the devices small speakers cut through the night air. Maya made sure to compliment CoCo on her flexibility as T’Challa and Erik burned holes in the side of Chadwick’s face. The man on the other side of the recorded encounter simply continued to sip his whiskey before shrugging his shoulders.

“This stays on the boat right?”

T’Challa opened his mouth to comment but was stopped by a collective damn at something that had transpired on the screen. Looking between his cousin and friend, he heard the message loud and clear. This moment would remain on Lake Malawi for as long as they all lived.
