Page 29 of No Remedy for Love

“Only person that would have been embarrassed is you,” Ferris chuckled, angering her with his nonchalant attitude.

“Don’t test me, nigga. I’m right outside.”

“The door is unlocked, love.” Ferris called her bluff right before hanging up the phone in her face.

“This nigga must think it’s a game.”

Reanna pulled up closer to the house and parked her car. She walked up the stairs and entered the house like she was invited in. Technically, she was since he told her that the door was unlocked. Kela was sitting on the sofa next to their granny, who looked amazing for a woman who was close to eighty.

“Who is that?” The older woman lowered her glasses to see who had just walked into her home unannounced.

“Oh, that’s my friend, granny. Sorry, I told her to come in.” Kela looked at Reanna with wide eyes as she jumped up from her place on the sofa.

“Good evening. How you doing ma’am?” Reanna smiled and spoke politely.

“I’m good baby. You can have a seat. My grandbaby went to get some food. You’re welcome to have some when she gets back.”

“She just came to get something from me. She’s about to go.” Kela pulled Reanna into the dining room, as Ferris angrily followed. He had called Reanna’s bluff but he didn’t think she would be dumb enough to actually do it.

“I don’t have anywhere to go. I can stay for dinner since I was invited.” Reanna smirked like she had the upper hand.

“Are you crazy Reanna? You better be lucky that Remi wasn’t here, but she will be soon.”

“As if I give a fuck.” Reanna put her hands on her hips defiantly.

“See, you bitches just be playing crazy, but I’m certified.” Ferris had fire in his eyes as he rushed over to Reanna and pulled her hair.

“Let me go!” Reanna was swinging wildly as she tried to pull away from him.

“Ferris, no! Y’all, please don’t do this. We’re all gonna get put the fuck out! Why did you even come here, Reanna? I know Ferris didn’t invite you.”

Kela was finally in a good place in her life and she wasn’t with the bullshit. Ferris hadn’t even been staying there since his female friend was in town but he decided to pay a visit to their granny while they were out riding around. Their grandmother said that she was hungry, so his sister agreed to go with Monique to pick up some food since she wasn’t familiar with the area. She didn’t know what made Reanna pop up over there but she really had life fucked up. She was really acting like her and Ferris were on some exclusive shit.

“No because he’s too busy entertaining the next bitch!”

“She is his friend, the same as you.”

“You don’t have to explain a muthafucking thing to her. Let her stupid ass stay, so Remi can walk her like a dog when she get here. I’m not stopping her this time.” Ferris was heated. He had nobody else to fault but himself because he made Reanna feel too comfortable. He wasn’t really trying to get on her bad side since he still needed her, but she made the shit too hard.

“I don’t know why you think somebody is scared of your cousin. That bitch bleed the same shade of red as the rest of these hoes. And since I’m a bitch, let that other hoe get whatever you need for your product.”

“Cool and you make sure you get fucked at home by the nigga you married.” He smirked when he saw the look of defeat that flashed across Reanna’s face.

“Look, I don’t know nor do I care about what y’all got going on. The shit just can’t go on in here. This is not the timeand definitely not the place to do this,” Kela said right as the front door alarm chimed. Her heart dropped, thinking that Remi had made it. She relaxed a little when she heard Shiva’s voice instead.

“Your bitch is back,” Reanna fumed while looking at Ferris.

Shiva walked into the kitchen and paused when she saw Reanna standing there. Kela gave her a knowing look, and she shook her head in disgust. Reanna was the most desperate bitch that she’d ever seen. She sat the food on the table and started taking everything out of the bags.

“I’m going on a diet when I get back home. I don’t know how y’all stay so damn fine with all this good food.” Monique walked into the room carrying the rest of the food. Reanna took a minute to size the other woman up. Monique was kinda thick but she was shapely. She had a pretty face but there was nothing special about her in Reanna’s opinion.

“You’re perfect just the way you are.” Ferris grabbed a handful of Monique’s ass and kissed her. Reanna felt like steam was coming from her ears and she was green with envy. Although he wasn’t her man, Ferris had never shown her the least bit of affection. It was straight sucking and fucking with nothing in between.

“Stop Ferris. We have company. I’m sorry for being rude. Hi, I’m Monique.” She smiled while extending her hand towards the unknown woman in the room. Reanna looked at her hand like it was covered in shit. She frowned like Monique had insulted her with her words.

“This is my rude ass friend who was just leaving.” Kela grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room and straight to the front door.

“Really Kela? This what we’re doing now?” Reanna felt offended by how she was being handled.
