  He squared his shoulders.

  “Stipulations? Well, I’ma tell you like this; you ain’t gotta worry about getting no calls about me disrespecting Saleena, but not because of your uh…stipulations, but because that’s not the kind of man I am. It’s not in my character to put my hands on a woman. But I don’t need your permission to date her, bro, I’m doing this out of love for Saleena.”

  I started to check his ass about that last statement but I left it alone so I wouldn’t have to hear Saleena’s bullshit later on.

  “Well, we should be good then G,” I said as I turned and opened the door and went back in the house, leaving that corny ass dude on the porch by himself.

  Saleena was still standing in the middle of the floor. She watched me like a hawk as I came back inside and I heard dude come in right after. She looked at me and looked at him.

  “Is everything okay?” she asked.

  “Why wouldn’t it be?” I said, but she could see the tension in Camron’s face no matter how cool I tried to play it.

  Just then my phone rang and it was my boy, Kari.

  “What’s up nigga?”

  “Where you at man?”

  “I’m at Saleena’s house. I’m about to leave out though. What’s good?”

  “Somebody over here looking for you,” Kari told me.

  “Somebody who?”

  “Come through and see nigga,” he replied.

  “Alright, I’m ‘bout to swing through right now. It better be about some money too,” I warned.

  I turned to Saleena.

  “Baby mama, I’m out,” I said with a smirk.

  “Don’t get smacked Floyd,” she said.

  “What I do?” I said smiling ear to ear.

  “Actually, I’m about to head out too,” Camron said as he went and wrapped his arms around Saleena.

  She gave him a peck on the lips and I instantly got mad. I felt like that shit could’ve waited until I left, but they both did it just to piss me off. I walked out without saying anything else and headed to the block where Kari was at. It took me less than fifteen minutes to reach Kari’s block. This was the block where his grandmother lived. It used to be the hangout before I went to jail. You could always find me over there because it was a lot of hoes on the block and they all loved me. If they wasn’t spending money with me trying to get clothes and appliances for the crib, they was throwing some pussy my way. When I got to the block I saw a black TrailBlazer parked out in front of Kari’s grandmother’s house.

  His grandmother had passed now and left him the house but of course, he had all kinds of relatives trying to move in so we used the house as a hangout more than anything. When I pulled up to the house, I peeked inside the TrailBlazer and saw it was Ashley behind the wheel. Kari was on the front porch with a couple guys from the block smoking weed. I was about to straighten her ass out because she was becoming too bold with the way she was blowing my phone up and acting like she didn’t know her position. The main reason I fucked with Ashley was because she knew the drill.

  It was hard to train new bitches and get them to play they position sometimes so I figured I had something that could work with her. But since I been home it seemed like she wasn’t trying to know her role and didn’t care about my relationship anymore. I parked in the driveway and hopped out.

  “Come here!” I shouted as I climbed the steps.

  She got out of the truck and followed me inside. I took her in the back bedroom and closed the door. She was smiling like she thought shit was sweet.

  “What the fuck is wrong with you? You think you can just blow up my phone and get me to do what you want me to do?”

  “You here ain’t you,” she sassed.

  I scowled.

  “You think I’m here ‘cause of you? I thought it was some money on the floor you stupid bitch. I didn’t come here for you.”

  “Who the fuck you talking to like that?” she shouted.

  “You think shit sweet?” I said as I pressed her body against the bedroom door.

  “No.”

  I wrapped my hand around her throat.

  “You think shit sweet, don’t you? You think ‘cause I been away I done went soft and you can run shit now? That’s what you think?” I said squeezing tighter.

  “I didn’t say that you did,” she barely managed, not trying to remove my hand from her throat.

  I reached under her sundress and pulled down her panties. She stepped out of them willingly and wrapped one of her legs around mine. I was so angry I didn’t even think about a condom. I just wanted to get her ass in line as I pulled my dick out and drove it inside of her.

  “Unnn!” she moaned loudly.

  “You wanna keep this dick in your life? Huh? You wanna keep this dick don’t you?”

  “Yes!” she cried as I hiked her leg up.

  “You better fucking start acting like it and I’m not playing. You hear me?”

  “Yes!” she shouted loud enough to be heard on the front porch.

  I choked her, kissed her, and fucked her hard up against the door for about ten minutes before I pulled out and shot cum all over the floor. When I looked in Ashley’s eyes she looked dizzy as hell. I was positive she would play her position from now on. If not, I was gonna have to terminate her ass permanently.

  Tanjanisha

  Over the next few weeks, me and Floyd were able to get along pretty good without anything ruining our happy home. I was paying my sister Christy well to watch my baby and she wasn’t complaining as much, but Abriel was growing more frustrated with the situation every day. It wasn’t like I was asking them to keep my kid indefinitely. I was going to tell Floyd the truth sooner or later but right now I was just trying to solidify our relationship again. I felt like we’d been apart for so long that if I told him now he’d just leave me and go out and find someone else.

  I knew there was a lot of hoes lurking from the sidelines waiting for us to call it quits, but that just simply wasn’t going to happen. I’d fucked up big time but I was going to do everything in my power to make things right. I couldn’t see myself living my life without Floyd in it. He had just dropped me and Kayla back off at home to hit the streets and handle some business when I got a text from Kari.

  Kari: Can you talk?

  Tanjanisha: Yes.

  Moments later my phone rang.

  “Hello?”

  “What’s up,” Kari said trying to sound sexy.

  “Nothing, I just got home.”

  “When you gon’ bring my son by and let me see him?”

  “Call Christy and see if she will bring him by there.”

  “Why you can’t bring ‘em?” he pressured.

  “You know that is not a good look right now, Kari.”

  “I’m saying I wanna see you anyway.”

  “See me for what?” I said getting an attitude.

  Kari just didn’t seem to get it through his head that what we had was over and done with.

  “You know you got my heart Tan quit playing.”

  “No, I been gave that back a long time ago. I’m not playing with you, Kari, stop acting like we still a thing. I don’t want nobody but my man okay? How many times I gotta say it?”

  “Shit, I don’t know why. He sholl ain’t trying to be loyal to yo’ ass,” Kari said.

  “What do you mean?”

  “What the fuck I say? You think you really the only girl Floyd fucking after that nigga just spent two years in prison?”

  My blood started boiling.

  “So, wait, you telling me that he fucking somebody else that you know about?”

  “I be with the nigga every day. Of course, I know about every bitch he fucks with,” he replied.

  “Kari, you betnot be lying I swear. If I find out you lying, I’m fucking you up.”

  “What I gotta lie for? All you gotta do is come to the bar and you can see for yourself.”

  “So he got a bitch at the bar huh? Yeah okay,” I said hanging up on Kari.

  I called Christy and told her I needed her to watch Kayla just for a little while. Around ten o’clock, I drove over to the house to drop my daughter off. Of course, I had to go in and see my son so I didn’t look like a heartless mom, but I was so mad I wanted to just drop Kayla off and keep going. Little Joshua was really growing. It seemed like almost every time I saw him he was bigger. Big Momma was there and as I held Joshua in my arms kissing him, I knew she was finally about to give me the lecture I’d been able to avoid up until now.

  “Baby, you know this ain’t right what you doing?” she said sitting right across from me in the living room.

  “I know Big Momma, but I’m about to fix it. I’m about to fix it real soon,” I promised.

  “You have to because I didn’t raise you like this. And that baby needs to be with his momma. This is the time for you and him to be establishing a bond.”

  “I know.”

  “You can’t establish no bond from the other side of town,” she said in a condescending tone.

  “I know Big Momma. I’m gonna fix it, I promise,” I repeated.

  I wanted to spend more time with my son but I ended up leaving ‘cause Big Momma was pissing me off. I arrived at the bar around 11:30, knowing this was Floyd’s time to come hang out. Deep down inside I was hoping I wouldn’t find what I was looking for but if I did, I was about to act a straight fool. The parking lot was full of cars and I couldn’t park close to the door for a smooth getaway if needed one so I parked on the street.

  I always had my suspicions about Floyd being unfaithful, but I’d never been able to find the concrete evidence. As I stepped inside the bar I was praying tonight wasn’t the night that I would. Inside, I stood by the door scanning the whole crowd quickly. I spotted Easy behind the bar pouring a drink. Not far from him there was Floyd and some light skin chick sitting next to him at the bar. I maneuvered into the crowd and tried to hide behind some of the guys at the pool table. I didn’t want to overreact before I was sure he was doing something he had no business doing.

  So far he was just chilling at the bar and sipping a drink and laughing with Easy. The girl wasn’t paying them any attention. She looked like she was on her phone. Maybe she wasn’t with Floyd. I wasn’t leaving until I found out.

  “Excuse me,” I said to the big tall dude blocking my view as I moved a little closer.

  Floyd

  Man the night was going perfect. I was at the bar catching up with some of my most loyal customers. Ashley was there but she wasn’t acting up. She was just chilling, letting me talk to all the women I had business with and not being all extra and shit. I was high as hell after smoking a whole Backwood to the head and the cognac wasn’t making it any better.

  “Nigga you couldn’t pay me to eat a stripper’s pussy. Fuck around and have Herpes, laryngitis, and need a root canal the next week. You got me fucked up,” I said laughing hard.

  I’d just found out that Easy was in love with a stripper last year, but he was trying to downplay it like it wasn’t that serious.

  “I ain’t say nothing about me eating her pussy nigga. I said we fucked around off and on for a year.”

  “Naw nigga, Kari told me the bitch was living with you for six months,” I told him.

  “She was,” he admitted.

  “So you telling me, as much as you love eating pussy, the bitch was living with you for six months and you ain’t gobble that vagigi?”

  “I didn’t,” Easy said, putting his right hand up like he was swearing on the bible.

  Just then I saw Kari coming to the bar. Easy walked away to take care of a customer.

  “Don’t try to act busy now nigga here come the proof. You going to hell for them lies you telling brother!” I shouted at Easy’s back while he tried to ignore me.

  I turned to my dog, Kari.

  “What up nigga? I ain’t know you was hanging out tonight,” I said giving him some dap.

  “Can’t let you and Easy have all the fun,” Kari said.

  I was all ready to double team Easy and blaze his ass until he needed a drink his damn self. Ashley put away her phone and stood up facing me.

  “I’ll be right back. I’m going to the restroom.”

  I grabbed her hand as she turned to leave. I pulled her close.

  “Come right the fuck back here you hear me? Don’t let me catch out there tryna slide around and mingle.”

  “What I’ma do that for? I’m here for you,” she smiled.

  I rubbed her booty and the back of her thighs.

  “You better be.”

  “Can you get me a drink while I’m gone?” she asked.

  “Yeah, you want the same thing?”

  Before she could answer I looked up and saw Tan charging at us. Ashley never even saw it coming. Bam! Bam! Bam! She hit Ashley with a three punch combination that sent her stumbling down the aisle. Ashley backed up and tried to take her heels off and defend herself, but Tan was too quick for her. Bam! Bam! She caught her two more times. I rushed in and tried to grab her but she fired on me too. Bam! That gave Ashley a chance to run up and get a couple licks in. I couldn’t let Ashley fight my girl so instead of trying to hold Tan, I grabbed Ashley while Kari grabbed Tan.

  I felt like my right cheek was swollen and it was stinging like a muthafucka. I hemmed Ashley up at the bar as security came.

  “I got it, man, I got it!” I told the two dudes I knew by their names now.

  They backed off, but they told me Tan had to leave.

  “I’ma fuck you up, bitch!” Tan shouted at Ashley as Kari continued to force her closer to the front door.

  “You weak bitch. You had to sneak me!” Ashley yelled back.

  “Shut the fuck up; just chill out. Chill the fuck out!” I yelled at Ashley.

  Ashley took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I knew I could contain her, but the one I had to go home to was another story.

  Chapter 4

  Tanjanisha

  Out in the parking lot Kari was trying to get me to calm down. I wanted to go back in there and finish what I started. I was on fire inside and I was pulling and tugging, trying my best to get away from him.

  “Calm the fuck down girl. You act like I didn’t just tell you what the fuck was going on. Don’t act so fucking surprised.”

  “So what, that hoe not about to be parading around with my nigga in the streets. I’ma beat that bitch until she turn purple.”

  “And then what? He still gon’ be probably fucking the bitch.”

  “Let me go, Kari!”

  “Hell naw, you tryna go to jail?” he shouted.

  “I don’t care,” I shrieked as tears fell from my eyes.

  Kari pinned me to the door on my driver’s side.

  “Just do what you gotta do, Tan, leave that nigga alone.”

  I took a deep breath and tried to calm down, wiping away tears.

  “This is just my bad karma for fucking with you,” I said.

  “You think so? You think he wasn’t already fucking bitches before he went to jail?”

  “Whatever,” I said, not wanting to listen to a man with a motive.

  “You gotta leave that nigga alone, Tan. Once he finds out the truth, it’s gonna be a wrap anyway. If you want me to I’ll tell him now. Right now, tonight,” Kari said with a determined look in his eyes.

  “No! Hell no, you better not!”

  “Why not? You still want that nigga after you see how he playing you?”

  “Shut up, Kari,” I said pushing him off me. “I’m not innocent either.”

  “What you and me have is different,” he reasoned. “I really care about you, Tan.”

  “We don’t have shit. Stop talking like that.”

  All I could think about was why wasn’t Floyd the one out here trying to talk to me instead of Kari. He was in there consoling that bitch and making up with her. The thought of it was driving me crazy. I called his phone and he didn’t answer. I was tempted to go and bust the fucking windows out of his Hummer, but just then I had a better idea. “You know where her car at?” I asked Kari.

  “Who, Ashley?”

  “Yeah, whatever the bitch name is.”

  “Yeah, she driving that black TrailBlazer over there in the parking lot.”

  As I looked around for some type of object, he realized what I was thinking about.

  “You tryna go to jail Tan. You need to chill.”

  “Shut up and watch my back if you gonna be here. Otherwise, you can leave,” I snapped as I found an empty Hennessy bottle.

  The parking lot didn’t have any security to watch the cars so I was able to walk right up and handle my business. I threw the Hennessy bottle with all my might and shattered the driver’s side window of Ashley’s truck. I took off running back to my car and jumped in. Kari got in his car and took off before I did, realizing somebody was definitely about to call the police now. I sped off and drove home calling Floyd to confess what I’d just done, but he never answered the phone.

  Floyd

  I had to make sure I kept Ashley and Tan separated until Tan took her stupid ass home. When we got outside and Ashley found out that somebody had busted her window, she flipped out all over again. I told her I’d pay for the damages. This was a good example of why she needed to lay low and play by my rules, but now she really didn’t care. She knew our secret was out so she tried to follow me home just to fight Tan. I had to make sure she was home and in bed for the night before I went to the crib.

  By the time I got there, it was after four in the morning. Tan was still up waiting for me with the mark of the devil in her eyes. The whole house was dark, but the television light allowed me to see her furious eyes.

  “So you cheating on me and ain’t even been home a fucking month?”

  “Girl, ain’t nobody cheating on you. That’s my homegirl,” I lied.

  “You piece of shit! I saw y’all feeling all on each other and shit. You fucking her; don’t lie,” she shouted.

  “I’m not fucking nobody. We was just having fun at the club man. I just got out damn. Why you tripping on that little shit? You done bust that girl car window out over nothing.”
