Side Chic (21 page)

She sat up. “Nigga what are you trying to say? You were the one who said that you didn’t want me to work and that you would rather I stay home and take care of the boys. I could’ve been gotten a job!”

“Kisha, all I am saying is that we can’t afford it right now. Why are you making such a big deal about nothing? I didn’t say that we couldn’
t get married. I just said not right now…”

“You’re always saying not right now!” She snapped. “I’m getting sick of this shit right here!
I ain’t shacking forever!
I’ve been doing it long enough so you need to get your shit together like asap!
”

I was about to respond when my cell vibrated. I took it out of the clip and looked at it. I didn’t recognize the number but the message read:
You should be more careful when telling your business. You never know who could be standing around the corner listening or recording your conversation.

I looked at my phone confused before responding.
Me: Wtf? Who is this and wth are you talking about?”

Anonymous: Lol I’m talking about the author hoe that you got pregnant! I wonder what would happen if Kisha foun
d out about your side bitch? I guess I wasn’t good enough for you
…

Tamika…how did this crazy bitch find out about Lala?
I wondered but then I remembered bumping into her on the basement steps when I was leaving Casper’s house the day before. “Man fuck!” I fumed aloud banging my fist on the table. “Ain’t this about a bitch!”

“What?” Kisha asked.

I ignored her and replied back to Tamika:
Man what in the fuck do you want from me? I mean what are you trying to accomplish by this bullshit right here? Are you really that fucking thirsty for some dick?

Tamika: Lol nigga I’m not thirsty but I’m not use to rejection or a nigga playing me like I’m not good enough for him. Meet me later on at the Comfort Inn so that we can talk…See ya later sexy.

Me: What? I ain’t meeting you no damn where!

Tamika: Oh you will or I will tell Kisha all about the little pregnant hoe that you have on the side!
Trust me you don’t want that because from what she has told me your ass already have several strikes and she is only seconds away from taking her kids and telling you to kiss her ass!

I sat there torn between whether I should meet this bitch or just
go ahead and
come clean with Kisha. I’d never imagined that shit would turn out like this! What in the fuck was I going to do?
I looked over at Kisha who was staring at me. I assume she was trying to figure out what was wrong. I knew that I couldn’t come clean with her! That shit was totally out of the question! Just as I was about to respond to Tamika another message came through.

Lala:
I’m in labor. Call me asap!!!

I looked at my phone unable to believe my luck! This was some straight bullshit!!!

THANK YOU’S

             
First and foremost I would like to thank God for everything. Without him nothing would be possible. I thank him for blessing me with this wonderful gift to be able to write and entertain people with my stories. Secondly, I would like to thank my three beautiful babies, Ny’Ajah, Camari, and AnTeyvion. You three are the reason that I grind so hard and continue to strive for more and to become a better me.
I would like to thank my mom, Angela Taylor and my dad, Paul Hill. I am thankful for and appreciate you both. To my grandmothers Ann West and Mable Hill, I love you both and thank you for being there for me whenever I have needed you both. To my sister and my best friend Tinika Taylor, I love you more than life itself. You are my rock, the one person I can depend on when everyone else in this harsh world has turned their backs on me! I treasure every moment that the two of us get to spend together when you are home and when you are away I miss you so badly! Can’t wait until you come home! (We have videos to make so that we can entertain the world with our beautiful voices). To all of my aunts, uncles and cousins, I love you guys. R.I.P to my uncles Steve and Calvin, I miss you both very much. A special shout out to my uncle Al Kelly, even though we don’t get to see each other much anymore because of our hectic schedules, I love you to pieces and thank you so much for the love and support that you have shown me. Thank you to my sister from another mother Denise Mason, I love you girl and appreciate you. Thanks for listening to my constant drama lol even though I already know what you be saying in your head when I be yapping…lmao!
