Free Duffle Bag Bitches by Alicia Howard Page B

was walking away.
    “I’ll be right here when you get back baby!” He said smiling.
    “Promise.” She felt like she was in high school again. Once she was in the restroom she pulled the phone from her purse seeing she had maxed out on text messages, voicemails, and incoming calls.
    She dialed the number hoping Shannon wouldn’t answer the phone. Just her luck she picked up on the first ring.
    “What?” Shannon was pissed.
    “Girl, what’s wrong with you?” Jay tried to act as if she didn’t know.
    “Bitch really, for real?” Shannon looked at her phone wondering if the bitch was smoking dope or something.
    “I don’t know why you tripping out. I’m here to make the nigga trust me right?” She asked.
    “Yeah.” Shannon had to agree with that.
    “I only got three days right?” She couldn’t believe how well she was lying.
    “This is true.” Shannon knew her girl was doing something in the team’s favor.
    “Well, let me work and quit blowing me up.” She was playing this shit off so good she shocked herself.
    “My nigga, so what we got so far?” Shannon was glad she was safe more than anything.
    “I know the nigga got that dough to blow, hell he spent ten bands on me already.” She boasted.
    “Get the fuck out of here bitch, I know you got me something with your greedy ass.” Shannon joked, her girl was pulling this.
    “Bitch I got you, let me go back to work, we at a fancy restaurant.” She told her.
    “You lucky bitch!   I am stuck dealing with these two fools.” Shannon complained.
    “Who you calling a fool girl?” Mack asked with his face full of food.
    “Who is that? Mack’s crazy ass?” Jay thought he was a cool dude.
    “Yeah and he need to shut up.” She fussed.
    “You shut yo’ ass up.” Mack bit his burger.
    Jay laughed at them arguing like they had been knowing each other forever, “Girl, let me get back to setting this nigga up. I’m going to hit you in the morning.” She said still trying to convince herself.
    “You’re staying another night?” She was shocked because this was not like Jay to be this comfortable with a new nigga.
    “Three days, well two now right?” She was putting it on thick.
    “Get money boo.” Shannon’s heart was feeling funny about this, but she had to trust her girl.
    Jay ended the call more confused about the situation then she was when she first called. She knew that she had to get her mind right, she didn’t know this nigga for real. What she didn’t know was that there was a bitch in the bathroom stall listening to her every word and wondering who it was Jay was laying it on. Jay walked out never noticing her as she headed back to her table to finish her meal.   She didn’t realize that the bitch was tipping behind her to see the nigga she was with. The bitch almost died when she seen Jay kiss her favorite uncle.
    As the duo began to leave the place the young lady called her uncle’s phone. He picked up on the first ring because it was his favorite niece, the the daughter he never had.
    “Baby, who you love?” He asked her.
    “You!” She responded at eighteen the same way she did when she was four. Her mother had a drinking issue and her uncle always looked out for her and the fact that he didn’t have children didn’t hurt either.
    “What you need babe?” He was forever buying her shit and because of that she was spoiled.
    “Nothing, I need to talk to you in person.” She never really talked this way and it caught him off guard.
    “You good or you need me to come now?” He asked not wanting to end what he was doing.
    “No, meet me tomorrow.” She said
    “Cool.” He was glad he wanted to spend as much time with this woman as he could.
    He was on cloud nine; he didn’t know what it was about this woman that had him so open. She was sexy as hell and the black Vera Wang dress he got for her was blessing her body right now. If he had things his way he planned to make her his main woman. Cash hadn’t felt this way
