Sweet Like Honey.

elias stack moore x black!fem oc. honey willams.

synopsis : honey finds herself back with her parents again in clarksdale, mississippi. new york wasn’t going so well for her as she expected leading her back where she started. only this time, she didn’t have in mind she’d be messing with some she always seen as trouble.

ps. this is written in modern times boo!

honey stood on the porch of where she grew up at, the feeling of the blazing sun hitting her caramel skin. her brothers were carrying her stuff into her old bedroom where she’d be renovating cause she didn’t find herself leaving here anytime soon. this was all crazy to her cause she found herself thinking a couple of years ago she’d be somewhere big with her talent.

see, honey wasn’t no ordinary girl. could dance, sing like a angel. and she was pretty, her momma blessed her with big talents. the only thing was honey couldn’t control the sass she had & she wouldn’t accept no bullshit from anybody, which held her back from a lot of opportunities unfortunately. but honey knew she’d find better one day. she was only 22, she has much time to figure it out.

“honey, close that door and come in you lettin’ bugs in here girl.” her father said, honey hurried in closing the door. the creaking wood making a noise as soon as she stepped on it. “dang daddy, i thought y’all said y’all was gone fix this. that noise is dreadful.” honey’s father quinton laughed.

“it’s in the process. besides you know we gettin old and your brothers don’t wanna do nothin round here. your sister neither. y’all all lazy!” amir rolled his eyes at your fathers words. “technically, we do be helping around here but i got more things to worry about then fixing a old house.” oh amir, honey’s smartmouthed brother. he was going into his sophomore year & currently playing basketball.

honey’s younger brother, malakhi. going into his freshman year right along honey’s sister tiana. malakhi, only God knows what he does. he’s good at football, basketball was never his thing, and tiana? she’s just a copy and paste of honey. but a sporty version, the sass way worse though.

“amir, this house may be old but its built and has plenty of love within these walls. you should appreciate it more, this house would go for so much money these days.” honey’s mother jacqueline said. amir sighed and walked off in the hallways to his room. jacqueline continued stirring the lemonade to go with the dinner she prepared for tonight. opening her mouth to ask honey a question, “how was new york? did you miss home?”

honey sucked her teeth and fidgeted with her finger nails. “it was beautiful, certain parts were. homesick a little, but i could always come back anytime and here i am. so i’m not worried.” honey’s mother finished her lemonade and placed it in the fridge to save. “do you have any plans for down here honey? you know you could put that singing to use. them twins done opened a juke joint.” twins?

surely she wasn’t talking about elias & elijah. honey hadn’t seen them in years, they had left before she left for new york. she dreaded them, well used too. she couldn’t lie, they were sexy as hell but damn so troublesome always in something. nothing was ever done about it either, it was so weird down here honey wondered what power they held over clarksdale.

“you talkin’ bout the moore twins momma?” honey asked shifting her position in the chair she sat in. jacqueline nodded. “it’s going good, i think you should try it out honey. no funny business though, if you’d stop bein’ so rude all the time you’d be somewhere in new york and not here.”

“your momma’s right honey. you gotta watch your mouth, you sure as hell ain’t set no good example for tiana cause that’s all she know how to do is run her mouth.” honey couldn’t do anything but agree with them, honey definitely had a way with words. she had a issue with violence too but she learned to calm it down over the years.

“i know, i know. i guess ill check the juke out sometime this week.” honey replied. she still didn’t know how to feel about working for the twins though, well that’s even if she got a spot there. “momma, how you know they gon’ accept me?” she asked confused. her momma looked at her in her eyes and said “cause you gone show out & give them a reason to hire you honey.”

although jacqueline & quinton wanted honey to be the best of herself, quinton didn’t trust the smokestack twins one bit. mainly stack, and what’s understood doesn’t have to be explained. stack’s just pure trouble & evil. it didn’t take much to know that. but, he wasn’t gonna stop honey from chasing after her dreams.

honey found herself walking upstairs into the hallway where her room was, she looked at the yellow walls she had painted when she was 13, she felt it fit her name honey well. now she wanted to redo everything, she felt she was a bit too grown for something like this. but, only time will tell what decisions honey decides to make.

honey found herself in bo chow’s grocery store chopping it up with cornbread. she wondered why cornbread was over here when he should be working with his life, but she wasn’t the questioning type.

“well honey, what you doin’ back down here? i thought you left us for the big city.” cornbread asked, honey chuckled. “what can i say, i missed home. the big city will be there waiting for me, i wanna try some stuff out down here. besides, y’all don’t want me to be here or something?” she asked, obviously joking. bo stood behind the register counting bills when he turned up to look at honey.

“of course we want ya’ here. you always welcome.” he smiled, “i figured.” honey replied. “but um, what’s this about this new juke joint? y’all know if they hiring?” cornbread and bo looked at her. “you, you wanna work for the twins? with the mouth you got?” cornbread asked. honey playfully slapped him on the shoulder, “well duh? ain’t that why i’m askin? they gone accept me anyway im like.. sent from heaven literally.” they laughed at honey.

“well, honey i think you gone get it. the only thing you gone have to worry about is competition with mary cause she gone think you out for her stack.” lisa said, you laughed at lisa’s comment, like you would be worried about some fucking mary. “thanks lisa, i really appreciate that. you speakin it into existence unlike cornbread and your father here.”

“you know they think they know everything.” lisa said, her father shooting her a glare cause he knew she was right, she hurried out of them room before bo could say anything because.. let’s be honest here.

“you might as well go tonight honey & see what the juke talking about. i work the doors so i can let you in for the free this time.” cornbread said, honey hugged him “i wasn’t gone pay anyway.” honey said before grabbing her bags and heading on her way back home. honey walked here in the blazing sun which was crazy because, damn was it hot. but honey ain’t have on no bundled up clothes like she usually did so honey didn’t really care.

honey dropped her bag on the porch to take her keys out to unlock the door & walked in carrying her bags to her room. she had bought some stuff to put in her room & a couple of paint cans to repaint her room soon with the help from her father. she laid back on the bed and stared at the ceiling wondering how tonight would go & would she make a good impression.

ain’t nobody seen her in 5 years, honey’s grown a lot. curves gotten different and all that, she looked good & grown now. she found herself at her sisters door knocking to ask her to help find a outfit tonight, honey was just going to check it out to see if she liked it, if she didn’t.. well she would leave it alone but if she did she’d be back tomorrow looking for a job.

“tiana, open the door i need your help.” she heard a groan and tiana got off her bed opening the door for honey, “what you want?” tiana said, the sass in her voice at an all time high. “for you to help me pick out something to wear tonight to the joint, don’t be doing all that your wanna be mean ass.” tiana scoffed, “i guess honey. you act like you going to impress somebody or something.” honey stared at her and just headed to her room with tiana following behind her.

“listen, you need to wear a dress. one that gives off sexy, cause i feel like you tryna impress somebody but i can’t put my finger on who yet.” honey laughed, “i’m tryna leave a good impression cause if i like it im coming back tomorrow to apply for a job there, but i got some dresses for you to pick out let me get them.”

honey searched through her bags picking out some dresses for tiana to choose and laid them out on the bed, tiana got up and looked at all of them. “some of these kind of boring, but this one is perfect honey.” she picked out a mid-length dark red dress, the dress backless & perfect to show off honey’s curves.

honey picked it up and looked at it, “you don’t think this a bit too much? i don’t even know why i bought this.” tiana sat back on honey’s bed and sighed “you just think it’s too much cause you bein’ boring. i don’t know why you tryna act so Godly now.”

“i ain’t actin, i am. im changing for the better.” honey smirked, “most definitely not but you need to be getting ready cause it’s getting late and you right here tryna talk up a storm.” tiana said as she exited honey’s room closing the door behind her.

honey sighed and placed her stuff on the bed & walked into the attached bathroom turning on her shower and dropping her clothes, as she got into the shower the lukewarm water hit her skin. she grabbed her loofah & squeezed out her favorite scented cocoa butter wash.

all she could think to herself is, how did she find herself back here and was it because she was moving too fast? it most definitely was because she was moving too fast. but maybe this was apart of a plan God had set for her. maybe, or maybe not?.

she rubbed the lotion on her skin, making sure to get every part of her body along with the cocoa butter oil. putting her deodorant on, and sliding into her dress.

she called tiana back in to help her tie the back, tiana looking at her up & down. “see i told you it would look nice, you most definitely have grown into your grown woman body.” honey laughed at tiana, she looked in the mirror at herself though and damn did she look good. her natural curls in a flip over a the top and the rest is laying on her shoulders. her caramel skin shining due to the oil, her chest popping out more than usual.

she walked over to her dresser and attached her bracelets, putting in her diamond earrings & slipping on her open toed laced up black heels. grabbing her purse and putting all her things in, she hugged her sister goodbye and went on her way.

────────────

as she reached the juke joint she could hear the loud southern blues being played, she seen slim and cornbread at the door of course a whisky flask in slim’s hand, and cornbread cracking another joke. people on the sides of the building laughing & some arguing.

honey got out of the car, locked it and walked over to the entrance. cornbread looked honey up & down, “well hello to you also honey.” he shook her hand, “hi cornbread, and hi slim since you acting like you seen a ghost.”

he took another sip of his flask, “i thought i did, i might be seeing a ghost i thought you was in the big city.” cornbread laughed, “uh, annie and them inside. you should go check it out.” he said as he let honey in, letting her wander around.

people were dancing, some at the bar. some making out & she seen someone singing, and honey noticed it was little sammie, and damn does he have a voice on him. she walked through the crowd and took a seat at a table, and there he was. on the side of the stage matchstick in his mouth, gold grill shining and dimples showing. standing next to his twin brother, the more sophisticated one in honey’s eyes.

she rolled her eyes & turned the other way and seen pearline & annie. she hadn’t spoken to them in years. honey got up out her seat and made her way to the table they were at, they looked at her in shock. “honey, you back? since when?” pearline asked.

honey sat down answering pearline’s question and greeting them, “what you doing here honey?” annie asked, “my momma told me to see if i could get a job here, and cornbread recommended me to check it out.”

“well he did the right thing, but i don’t see you working here ending in somethin’ good honey. you and stack don’t mix well at all, and he one of the owners.” pearline said, annie shaking her head to agree with her.

“man ain’t nobody worried about no damn stack, what are they doing back here anyway?” honey replied, “they was done doin’ business in chicago i assume. and smoke probably missed him some annie.” pearline said, a laugh followed behind. annie blushed, “pearline rest your mouth, please.” they shared a laugh, but annie and pearline looked behind honey to see the twins standing behind her, “why the hell y’all lookin’ like that?” she turned around.

stack stared in her eyes, she stared in his. the empty soulless eyes he had, and the pretty brown ones she had. “didn’t think we’d see you again, big city girl.” stack said, smoke made his way over to where annie was & sat beside her. stack pulling out a chair beside honey.

honey scoffed, “i don’t know why the hell you speaking to me, damn devil reincarnated.” stack placed his hat on the table turning his attention to honey, “you always so feisty with me girl, i ain’t do nothin’ to ya.” pearline chucked, “stack you always tryna make your move on someone, you know you got crazy mary on your side leave honey alone.”

stack rolled his eyes at pearline, “pearline be worried about that sorry ass excuse of a husband you have.” everyone laughed, “but preacher boy always waitin’ for ya.” he grinned, honey couldn’t lie elias was something sexy but his personality.. just no.

but as soon as honey looked up, she seen smoke and annie over there eye fucking each other. she supported them 100% but she couldn’t witness this so she made her way to the bar, stack following behind her. why? she didn’t know but she wished he’d stop.

“stack, what the hell do you want?” he grinned at her, “you what else?” she rolled her eyes, “i’m not finna be one of your lil toys, i’m just here cause i wanna work here. so interview me.” he laughed, “okay your hired, work the bar.” she was confused

“you didn’t even interview me, you don’t even know if i have bar experience.” he pointed at the bartender, “he can teach ya, but back to our conversation. why you think ima play with you?” he looked at her up and down, admiring every curve honey had.

“because, your stack. i’m honey, and you know what honey don’t do? mess with no nigga named stack.” she grinned, “you gone be up under me one day, just know it.” he grinned at her, grabbing her chin and then letting go to wander off.

“tuh, i wish the hell i would.” she mumbled, but she couldn’t lie the interaction just gave her that feeling in her lower stomach, he might just be right.

ion write, so i think i over did it. but these dividers aren’t mineee, credits too @cursed-carmine .
