If you wanted info on something or somebody go to Toni. He knew everybody’s business before it even hit the street.
As soon as I walked in the strong smell of Kush hit me in the face. The cloud of smoke was so thick that I had to squint just to see where I was going. I rolled my eyes at a couple of niggas that was sitting on my mother’s couch trying to mack. They aint got shit else better to do. I thought while walking to my room. I couldn’t wait to get the hell away from here. I have been saving up enough paper for this small apartment I had my eyes on since I moved out of Prince’s house. I already put the deposit down on it, I just needed to save five hundred more to the six I already have saved then I can move in.
I don’t see how my mother does it. I can’t have a house full of niggas running in and out every day any time they get ready to. I can’t say that I’m not used to it though, my mother been this way since I was little. I opened my door and walked in my room to find Samya in my closet.
“Uh un bitch, what you doing?” I asked picking up the clothes she had thrown on the bed.
“Trying to find you something to where.” She said still in my closet.
“For what?”
“Oh because you going with me tonight.” I grabbed her out of my closet and closed the door.
“I didn’t say I was going anywhere, how are you just going to volunteer me to go somewhere?”
“Jaz all you do is sit in this room, in the dark. I don’t know about you but that shit is scary and if I didn’t know any better I would think you was a vampire.” She laughed but I didn’t see anything funny. Samya was always corny when it came to jokes, she couldn’t tell one to save her life. “Nawl but for real, Jazmyn. Please come, I don’t want to be there by myself. Harlem’s brother just came home and he’s going to be there, I don’t want to be the only girl.” She said.
“My-My please, the club is full of bitches, aite.” I said stuffing my clothes back in the dressers.
“We not even going to the club, it’s a bar. Please Jaz, I’m begging you.”
“No.”
“Please, please, pleaseeeee” she pleaded.
“Mya no, because you think you slick, you trying set me up and I aint having it.”
“Jaz it’s not even like that, I’m just thinking about you ok! So get your ass dress and be ready in 30 minutes cause you going even if I got to drag yo ass out of here.”
I hesitated for a while but gave in. “Ok but I’m driving because if dude is ugly I’m leaving. Shit, you better be glad I just got my hair done or either you would be on your own.”
She jumped up and down then ran over to me kissing my cheek. “Thanks boo, and if he looks anywhere near like Harlem you know that nigga fine.” She said walking out of my room.
I plopped down on the bed and kicked my shoes off. I looked over at the clock on my wall, wishing I never told Mya yes. Instead of bitching, I got up to get ready. We were just going to a bar so wasn’t no need for me to get to dressy. I stuck with my baby blue high waisted skinny pants, my white long sleeve crop top tee and white Christian Louboutins pumps. After stepping out the shower and getting dressed, I brushed my teeth and took my wrap down. I added some nude pink lipstick and a little mascara. My gold chain and tennis bracelet went good with my gold Christian Dior clutch.
“Jaz I hope you ready ca…” Mya said walking into my room. “Damn bitch, that ass sitting real pretty in those jeans.”
“What you talking about? Look at you,” I said smacking her booty in her low rise pants. She had on a pink blouse with a deep V showing off her girls and some nude colored Jimmy Choo’s.
“Girl I’m trying to get me some tonight. It’s been a few weeks since I had some dick and I been feening for it.” She said walking out with me behind her.
We pulled up to the bar and got out. “This is nice” I said looking at how the place was beautifully decorated. I told Samya that
