“Baaaaaby! Blaze trying to fight over pussy he ain’t even had yet. Wait until you show his ass that Super Head ain’t got shit on you.”

“Shut up asshole,” Remi laughed.

“Mav need to go sit his ole washed up ass down somewhere. His time has passed and Blaze is up next.”

“Bitch, you act like they going up to bat.”

“Batter up!” Tracy yelled as she swung a pretend bat.

“I can’t even lie though; I’m feeling the fuck out of Blaze but you know me, sis. I’m not like a lot of these hoes out here. I’m not cut out to be the side bitch. I’m the bitch that headlines the show. I can’t be a supporting cast member.”

“Main bitch energy only.”

“No, only bitch energy and I’m not settling for nothing less.”

“Period. But he did say he had divorce papers already. Didn’t he say he was gonna give them to her?”

“Niggas cheat and niggas lie, your words, not mine,” Remi replied, reminding her of something that she always said.

“True and true. But damn, bitch, you’re way stronger than me. I would have been climbed that tree with his fine ass. And, then, he’s cute and can dress. I wanna see the bitch he’s married to. That hoe rode the short yellow bus to school, I’m convinced.”

“Don’t be so sure about that. We only know one side of the story and that’s his.”

“Yeah, you’re right about that.” Tracy sat at her work table and pulled out her measuring tape.

“I thought you were off today.”

“I am girl, but Venecia is on her way over here. Girl, I can’t believe that my baby is going to senior prom next year. You know I’m bout to lay her the fuck out.” Tracy was speaking of Vinnie’s oldest daughter who was gonna be a senior the coming school year.

“Damn, y’all getting ready for prom already? Schol ain’t even start yet.”

“Bitch, my baby is gonna be prom queen and we’re gonna make sure of it. I just wish she break up with this dusty ass lil boy before then. He doesn’t work well with my vision.”

“You so wrong for that,” Remi laughed.

“And he don’t look like he takes a lot of baths. I might have to crop him out of a few pictures.”

Tracy was going on and on about her vision for her stepdaughter’s prom. Remi was used to it though. Creating was Tracy’s passion and she could talk about it for hours if a person listened. Remi let her ramble as she got comfortable on the sofa and tried to continue what she started before her phone rang.

Reanna giggled like a school girl when she saw Ferris calling her once again. His bitch must have been gone back to wherever she came from because he had been blowing her phone up for over a week now. He was texting, telling her how sorry he was, and she was eating it up. She had lots of what he needed, but he was gonna wait until she decided to give it to him. He had her fucked up trying to play on her in front of his bitch. Now, she was showing him that she was indeed that bitch. He had just sent her another text begging her to forgive him, and she was thinking about putting him out of his misery.

“What are you laughing at?” Blaire asked, bringing Reanna’s thoughts back to the present. “Did you hear anything that I just said?”

“My bad girl. I was reading another one of Ferris’s pitiful ass messages.”

“Bitch, you better stop trying to play hard to get before you end up alone. That Renada bitch and your husband are getting mighty close honey. Ferris might be your only hope soon.”

“Who the fuck is Renada?”

“That’s how I know your ass wasn’t listening. That’s the bitch that he hired to take care of our Nana.”

“What about her?” Reanna wasn’t paying attention to nothing that Blaire was saying but she obviously needed to. She was enjoying Ferris’ begging too much.

“Blaze, you know, your husband, was about to lay hands on another nigga behind a bitch that he ain’t even married to.”

Blaire was livid when one of her girls called and told her about what happened. She was even more pissed when she learned that Mav was the nigga that he was into it with. Although she crept around with Mav for a while, no one, not even Reanna, knew about it. She was his dirty little secret, and he used and treated her like one. Blaire was shocked when her brother started working in his shop because she wasn’t aware that they even knew each other. She was really curious to know where the new bitch that Blaze was talking to had come from. She was even more eager to find out how she was connected to Maverick. They must have messed around before too anytime he and her brother were about to fight.

“Girl, Blaze ain’t bout to fight nobody outchea, especially over a bitch. Had you told me that when he was in high school or college, I would have believed you,” Reanna laughed.
