That’s my, girl.” He said softly. “The bleach is working too. Your complexion is clearing up.”
“Thanks.” I nodded.
“Now finish your meal,” he winked. “But don’t eat too much. We gotta watch that figure.”
“Can you meet me at sixth district?” Miss Wayne yelled in my cell phone. I switched to my Bluetooth so I could have my hands free.
“What for?” I asked in between washing the dishes. Smokes didn’t like them in the dishwasher so I cared for them by hand. I’ll be so happy when the maid comes back from vacation because this house is too big for me to clean on my own.
“Miss Daffany is in jail.”
“So?! She stays in and out of jail.”
“But she’s pregnant too,” he told me. “ Now can you meet me?”
I dropped a plate, grabbed my purse and ran out the door.
“Hey, pretty!” Miss Wayne said wearing a one piece white Lycra dress and white high heels. He let his hair grow out long enough to wear tracks. He kept his hair in what he called the Beyonce , which consisted of a goldish long flowing weave. “Can you believe this shit?”
“No what she do?” I asked, as we sat down in the seats waiting on her to appear. Miss Wayne had already paid her bail.
“They said some indecent exposure shit. I’m just happy to find her. I can’t believe it took all this?” he said reaching for my hand. I gave it to him and squeezed his lovingly.
“How did you find out she’s pregnant?”
“She told me. I guess she didn’t believe I’d come without telling me. But you know I been tryin’ to find this chile for months now. I’m worried about her, Miss Parade. They say she fuckin’ wit heroin now.”
“Heroin?” I yelled looking into his eyes. “Are you serious?”
“Yes! Between my mother and you guys, I don’t have any other family. I can’t see losing somebody else. Sky was enough, Miss Parade,” he said, squeezing my hand almost tighter than I could stand. “We have to keep what’s left of us together and you and Miss Daffany are gonna have to bury this beef.”
“Yeah…maybe we can get pass this if she can accept my husband.” I sighed. “I doubt she’ll be able to though. She’s made that clear.”
“Yeah well one step at a time.” He laughed. “The first thing is repairing our bond and our family.”
Just then I stared at the door and could’ve sworn I saw a ghost. This dusty girl came rushing into the police station and she looked so much like Sky, it was eerie. Miss Wayne must’ve thought so too because he looked at her and than back at me.
“Doesn’t she look like-,”
“Sky?” I finished.
“Hell yeah!”
Just then Daffany came out. We stood up and stared at the unsightly mess before us. She looked so terrible I was about to cry. She was completely skinny with the exception of her protruding stomach. We went to greet her but she walked directly to the Sky look-a-like.
“Miss Daffany,” Miss Wayne said tears in his eyes as he walked behind her. “What has happened to you?”
We walked over to them.
“What you talkin’ ‘bout?” she asked, tugging on her dirty t-shirt as if straightening it would make her look better. “I’m fine.” The girl remained by her side looking us up and down. “And what the fuck is she doin’ here?” Daffany asked pointing at me.
“I came to see about you.” I told her, angry she tried to get out on me. I couldn’t even argue because I was consumed with pity. “What is going on with you, Daffany? Look at you? Are you even eating?”
“Bitch, please! You don’t care about nobody but yourself! I don’t want to see you ever again and I mean it!” she yelled at me before focusing on Miss Wayne. “Miss Wayne, can you give me some money please? I have a job that starts tomorrow and I’ll pay you back everything. I just need some money for the bus.”
“You do?” her friend asked looking confused. “When you get an interview?”
“Yo, shut the fuck up!” she screamed. “You betta be glad I don’t jump in your shit
“Thanks.” I nodded.
“Now finish your meal,” he winked. “But don’t eat too much. We gotta watch that figure.”
