She and her girl, Tara was just about to pay their tab and leave when she noticed him smiling and chatting with some broad.
“Where he find that hoe at? She don’t look worthy,” Tara said.
Magyc didn’t even notice them gawking at him from across the restaurant. He was too enamored by Roxie’s beauty and spunky attitude.
“Don’t you worry about me runnin’ the business,” he smiled. “Jude had faith in ya boy. You should too. I got this,” he smiled.
“That ain’t the only fucking thing you got,” a third voice spoke up.
Roxie and Magyc simultaneously looked up at the pretty brown-skinned female standing at their table. Tara stood next to her with her arms folded underneath her breasts. Neither woman looked happy.
Magyc was surprised to see Briana standing there in the flesh. It was pure coincidence them being at the same place at the exact same time.
When Magyc didn’t respond fast enough, Briana continued. “So I take it you ain’t tell this bitch you had a girl?”

“Sweetie, the only bitch at this table is the one that’s chirping—”
“Magyc, you better train these hoes to not open they mothafucking mouths!” Briana threatened.
“Aye, chill with all dat shit. What’chu even doin’ here, Bri?” he asked.
“Nigga, I could ask yo’ ass the same thing!”
“We’re doing absolutely nothing,” Roxie said, standing to her feet. “I don’t fight over men, honey. I’m a lady. It’s clear you don’t know the first thing about that.”
Briana surprised everyone when she snatched Roxie up from behind by her hair. “You fucking bitch! I told ya ass!”
Magyc quickly hopped out his seat to help. What started out as an innocent and peaceful brunch, soon turned into an all out catfight.

It was a quarter after three when Cameron found herself wandering aimlessly through Beachwood Mall. She honestly was just window-shopping since she didn’t have the funds to splurge. Still, it felt good to get out of the house and get some fresh air. She lived near Brookpark, but she loved being on the eastside. It was where she was born and raised.
As Cameron traipsed through the mall with her son she thought back to how she, Pocahontas, and X-Rated used to all hang out there. A smile formed when she recalled the fight Wallace and Tank had gotten into over her. Good times.
“Oh, my God! Hypnotic, is that you?”
Cameron did a full 360 when she heard someone address her by her old stage name. Juicy ran up to her excitedly before embracing her. They were once cool during their Shakedown days. She looked a lot different than Cameron remembered with half her head shaved. The hoop earring in her nose was also new, but she was still thicker than a snicker.
Three stars were tattooed on the side of her temple and she resembled actress, La La Anthony. She was a beautiful girl, but hood at heart. Cameron pretended that she didn’t see the faint bruise near Juicy’s chin.
“I thought I was fucking tripping or seeing shit. What the hell are you doing here?” Juicy asked. “Last I heard, you had moved down south with ya man.”
“Yeah, well… I got tired of the south,” Cameron said. She didn’t want to admit she’d gotten tired of her husband.
“And who is this little handsome guy? I didn’t know you had a son.”
Cameron beamed. “Yeah, I did.” She looked down at the shy toddler. “This is Justin. Say hi to mommy’s friend.”
Instead of greeting Juicy, he smiled and hid behind Cameron’s legs.
“Aww, he is so damn cute. He looks like your twin.”
“Thanks.”
“So you back permanently or…”
“Yeah. I am.”
“What side of town you on?”
“Westside.”
“ Ugh. Why you move over there? Ain’t shit over there.”
“You’re wrong. Cheap rent is over there,” Cameron told her. “Anyway, I drove past the Shakedown the other day. I couldn’t believe they actually closed the place down. We used to clean up in there.”
Juicy’s eyes grew big. “Girl!
