serious Shay.  Now you know me I’m not with the dumbness.  I grew up a long time ago.  The way I feel about this girl is so sickening I could throw up.  I got Smith & Wesson waiting for her if she wants to step wrong and I mean that.”
    “Well ,” Shay said. 
    “How would she even know where we are?  It’s like tr ying to find a needle in a haystack.  Unless she searched for Joshua online and still she wouldn’t really find anything because the only thing that was in his name was the mini U-Haul we had attached to the back of our truck.” 
    “Well she must know enough becau se I think she on her way and I just want you to be on the lookout.” 
    “How would she know where to look Shay?” Victoria asked.  “It’s stupid.”
    “I might have said something to Leon.  I talk to him all the time,” Shay said.
    ” You’ve been telling Leon my business?” Victoria asked. 
    “Well . . .” 
    “Well what?” 
    “Well, I might have said you moved to Chicago and work as a psychologist.” 
    “Un -huh,” Victoria said.  “What else?” 
    “I don’t know,” Shay said, “it’s not like I’m just gossiping about you.  You’re in my life so when I talk sometimes I talk about you.” 
    “Oh don’t try and make this sound rosy!”
      “You done messed up and spilled the beans and now Leon fast talking bumping his gums all over the place.” 
    “Hold on, I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to talk about my best friend.”
    “You should watch what you say to Leon Shay and you know this man!  Don’t act like you don’t know who you can have conversations around.” 
    “Well,” Shay said, “you’ve left me so he is the only one really I have to talk to.”
    “Ugh, Shay well you need to get some new friends.  Nothing you say will be safe!” 
    “Well excuse me.” 
    Victoria let out an exasperated sigh. 
    “It’s all good but if Danielle show up here please believe I’m cursing you out its only right.”
    “OK,” Shay said.  “I’ll take that.” 
    “Sho you will, talking to Leon Pshh come on now.”  Victoria heard the alarm beep. 
    “Joshua’s back I’ll call you back.”
    “Bye.” 
    “Don’t be sounding all crazy now,” Victoria said. 
    “Well you all cursing a sista out what you expect me to sound like?” 
    “Honey, you know you my girl but let’s face it you got some loose screws if you telling all your business to Leon and I haven’t cursed you YET.  He’s Danielle’s girlfriend.” She snapped her fingers, “Come on now.  I’ll talk to you later, love you, bye.” 
    She hung up. 
    Joshua walked in the room. 
    “Hey baby.  Were you just on the phone?” he asked. 
    “Yeah talking to Shay.” 
    “How come every time I come in the room you get off the phone with her?  You can’t talk around me?  What? You got something to hide?” he said incredulously. 
    “It has nothing to do with that and you know it,” she said.  “I just know when you’re in my presence you want my undivided attention, do you not?” 
    “You know it,” he said . 
    “Ok then, that’s why.” 
    “Un huh.” 
    Victoria got off the bed and walked over to him.  She had on Joshua’s button down shirt from the suit he was wearing yesterday.  He had on some baggy grey sweats and a white tee. 
     
    “You are so sexy chocolate.” 
    She made a slurping noise with her tongue and imitated licking up his face. 
    He smiled and nodded.  “That’s you.” 
    He pulled her in and they kissed. 
    When she pulled back she said, “Have you talked to Da nielle?” 
    “Y ou cannot be serious,” he said rolling his eyes. 
    “What?  What’s wrong with me asking?” 
    “Where is this coming from Victoria?  Why do you have to take me around the merry go bush?” 
    “Just answer the question.” 
    “No, I haven’t talked to her.  Are you happy?” 
    “Don’t be smart,” she said. 
    “Why are you asking me that?  What have you and Shay
