Iâll see to it that your ex takes your kids away when he hears about you being an unstable, violent mother who tried to wreck your best friendâs wedding after trying to fuck her man. Try me and Iâll turn it all around in my favor. Thatâs the part Iâm telling you about, but there could be more where that came from. If you want to open your big mouth, bring it on.â
âYou wouldnât! You were wrong, not me.â
âWelcome to the real world, Miss Hooked on Stupid! Donât threaten me with wrecking my wedding. Iâm good for it. Try me. By the way, try ordering some ProActiv for your adult case of acne, and tone up that accordion looking belly if you want to wear shirts that show your midriff. Flabby, bumpy, blubber is not a good look. None of that is cute. Now I can finally tell you the truth since you wanted to start the Battle of Little Big Mouth!â
âI never want to see you again, you closet freak! I had no idea you were like this! Youâre disgusting! You need prayer!â
âGet the fuck out. Should I call 911 or what? I have a witness and Iâm not thrilled about having to repair the shit you damaged. Whatâs it going to be?â
Tanya spit on me and stormed out of Treyâs place. The only reason I didnât chase her down was because I was naked and didnât want to attract any more attention to Treyâs house. After the tires of her four-door Toyota Camry squealed, and she took off, I dressed so I could see if she tried any funny stuff before stepping off. Sure enough she plastered the word NYMPHO on the door and underlined it twice in bright red lipstick. When I thought of the lie I was going to have to tell to explain this mess to Trey, I stormed back to the bedroom to throw out Ricoâs horny ass. I knew I had to get rid of the evidence quickly because the house next door was up for sale and people had been trailing in and out of it on several occasions. I didnât need the realtor knocking on Treyâs door asking questions about anything.
âDing, ding, ding. Your timeâs up. Game over, baby boy.â I began picking up slithers of glass from off of the floor, carefully placing them in the palm of my right hand.
âAlready?â Rico said, grinning. âYou church girls are wild as hell. Let me find out I need to hunt for sisters in the house of the Lord.â
After I dropped the glass in the trash, I turned around and rolled my eyes at him.
Without saying another word, I shooed him out after making him dress quickly. I made it clear that he better not breathe a word to his boy, and he should forget what happened between us like heâd suffered the worse case of amnesia. Suddenly, my spirit turned icy, and I couldnât tolerate the sight of Rico. I cussed him out and explained that heâd worn out his welcome. He thought I was joking, but I wasnât. I stuffed his black Calvin Klein drawers in his hand, found his balled up t-shirt, and commanded him to clean the lipstick off of Treyâs door on his way out. After he left, I returned to the bedroom to start cleaning up whatever I could in a hurry.
My gaze fell on something green. Apparently, Rico had paid me three hundred dollars cash money for fulfilling his fantasy. There was a note sitting underneath which read: I WANT YOU TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT TOO. T AKE THIS AND GET SOME KINKY SHIT FROM F REDERICKS OF H OLLYWOOD FOR YOUR HONEYMOON. I KNOW YOUâLL WEAR IT WELL, MI AMOR.
I smiled as I ripped up Ricoâs note and flushed it down the toilet. He had no idea, but heâd just given me the idea to get paid to get my rocks off. After all, how I rolled officially made me a freak and maybe I liked the idea of men screaming my name. At that moment, I decided my pet name when I was acting devilish would be Innocence. Round one of my official secret life was about to begin. Fortunately, I made a habit of keeping a spare set of glasses in
