Chapter 21

 

"KEISHA!" Ro-Ro screamed into the phone. “Bitch you know what time it is? We're late, are you going to school?”

 

"Ah SHIT! What time is it?” She asked. “IT’S GOING ON NINE O'CLOCK. WE ALREADY MISSED HOMEROOM."

 

"SHIT!"...

 

"FUCK IT! I'm not going. I'm already late and I really don't feel like hearing or putting up with that bitch Ms. Johnson’s mouth about me being late and shit. She always talking bout how somebody not applying themselves. I bet I can apply my foot in her ass”, she said as they both laughed.

 

"I know right! I hate that bitch myself. I am glad I don't have her for homeroom. I gotta go though. I'll just call you later. Make sure y’all coma pick me up, A'ight?” Ro-Ro said. “A'ightL I will”, Keisha replied.

 

Keisha hung up the phone and just sighed. She knew that she needed to be going to school, but being late again meant that she had to hear Ms. Johnson's mouth, and she wasn't for it this morning.

 

She wasn't the only one that would rather miss school then be late and have to hear Ms. Johnson's mouth. Ms. Johnson had a mouth on her, and always tried to belittle everyone. She was always bitter, you wouldn’t know that most of the time it was all over a student being late.

 

She was really hard on the students, yet, it was all a front that she put on to conceal the fact that she was indeed an undercover sexually charged woman who didn't discriminate.

 

"FUCK IT!" Keisha got up out of her bed, head still slightly spinning from last night. "I'm not letting them bitches keep me out all night no more." She uttered while picking up the phone and calling Courtney.

 

As she dialed the number, she thought about what Ro-Ro told her the previous night. "Whose house was that, that Harlem's truck was parked in front of on Dickey Hill Rd.?" she wondered.

 

"Hello?" Courtney answered.

 

"What’s up? What are you doing today?" Ro-Ro asked.

 

"GIRL! Why aren't you in school?” She asked concerned.

 

"CAUSE BITCH! Y’all sluts kept me out all night”, Ro-Ro responded.

"But that Remy and Henny was good wasn't it girl?” her friend asked laughing.

 

"Bitch my head is still spinning from that shit. I am not fucking with y’all

no more. Y’all whores is drunks”, Keisha laughed jokingly. “I am on my way up there”.

 

"A’ight, but hurry up because I’m about to go. You can ride with me to go see my man”, she said.

 

Keisha hung up the phone, but before she could even move her cell phone rang. The caller blocked their number out. Keisha didn't answer the call.

 

She never answered calls from blocked numbers, or numbers that she didn't recognize. "WHO THE HELL IS THIS? She uttered, I don't answer numbers I don't know and definitely not blocked numbers baby”, she said to her phone as if the caller could hear her.

 

The phone stopped ringing but the caller called back, again blocking their number out. "If you trying to holla at me, I need a number baby! UNBLOCK YOUR NUMBER BITCH! I know it’s a bitch”, she said. “And yeah, it’s your man I’m fucking,”

she said again to the phone as if the caller could hear her.

 

The phone stopped, but this happened several times, and each time the same thing happened.

 

Keisha got dressed and as if she was going to school. She left, but without her schoolbooks. It’s not often that she missed school, though she was always late.

 

However, when she did miss school she never sat around the house looking stupid. Courtney's house was like Seven Eleven, "OPEN TWENTY-FOUR SEVEN.

 

Keisha and Courtney were tight, perhaps just as tight as Ro-Ro and Keisha, maybe even a bit tighter.

 

They definitely had more in common than Ro-Ro and Keisha and were almost always together, or at least just as much as Ro-Ro and Keisha was. Ro-Ro was the total opposite of Courtney. Courtney was loud like Keisha and out spoken. She, just like Keisha overstood exactly what was meant in the saying; "USE WHAT YOU GOT TO GET WHAT YOU WANT," and though she had a man, she did exactly that, just like Keisha.

 

The two of them had never even considered working. Both of their ideas of working was manipulation. Whatever it took to get whoever they were trying to get something from, to give them whatever they were trying to get.

 

Ro- Ro on the other hand, was more settled, soft-spoken, with big dreams and class.

 

The three of them were all pretty equal despite their differences. Equal in their physical appearance, at least. Courtney was the tallest of the three. 34-24-39.

 

Keisha and Ro-Ro were basically the same height; though Keisha's titties were bigger than Ro-Ro's, yet, Ro-Ro’s ass was fatter than Keisha's.

 

While Courtney and Keisha were aware of their shapes, Ro-Ro seemed to be clueless of exactly how beautiful being Dominican and Black with almond shaped eyes and a fat ass was, or at least she played clueless perfectly.

 

She was the girlie girl type a Hustlers Wife title probably best defined her. Yet, she wasn't at all transfixed on image, which made her style and taste that much more spectacular.

 

Keisha and Courtney, were more of the tom boyish type. Yet, they too, could both be “girlie girl” whenever the occasions called for it. All in all, they were each worth the time and energy that dudes put into

 

trying to wife them, and it was definitely a lot of time and energy .

 

When giving a closer look, Ro-Ro and Keisha only had "HARLEM" in common.

 

Keisha finally made it to Courtney's house and just in time because Courtney was about to leave her.

"BITCH, I know you weren't about to leave me? I told you that I was on my way up here”, she said frustrated with her friend.

 

 

“Yeah!” And you were taking too long. I got things I need to take care of and I’m not trying to be out all day running”, her friend explained.

 

"WHATEVER BITCH! So, where are we going? And who is this man of yours that you're talking about going to see? Where he locked up at?” Keisha asked.

 

"He not locked up, and this man that I am talking about is Skip. You know he got shot around Dukeland.” Courtney said, assuming that Keisha had already known that she was messing with Skip.

 

"YEAH, I heard that he got shot, but I didn't know that was your man. How long you been fucking with him? Girl you are so sneaky”. She smiled at her.

 

"Girl me and Skip been together ever since High School. I met him through Beans, and we been together off and on ever since”, she said grinning.

 

"Then why am I just finding out about this?” Keisha asked.

 

"I don't know why you're just finding out, we ain't hiding it. You say it like we've been hiding the shit. Everybody be so busy trying to do them and plus Harlem overshadows Skip”, she said.

 

"YEAH, but he still does him, I just didn't know that you was fucking with him. Is the dick good?” Keisha asked. “They say it’s supposed to run in their family”, Keisha said laughing.

 

"BITCH! Like I am gonna tell you”. She laughed, “Plus, I thought Harlem was your brother, you know that’s Skips cousin. I am surprised though, that you ain't gave that nigga Harlem no wet (pussy) yet. You know they say he what's up. He's supposed to have "IT!" You be with the nigga all the damn time anyway, you might as well... Motherfuckaz think you and that little prissy bitch Ro-Ro fucking him. I can't stand that little bitch. She thinks her shit don't stink”, she said with a sneer.

 

"Girl, that’s my brother. I’m not tripping off what they saying about us. Oooooh but I have heard that he was holding it down in the dick department... but I am not going there. Maybe Ro-Ro might because she likes him and wants "IT" on the low, but I am not going there”, she said quickly.

 

"What’s up with the nigga Beans? He stepped his game up yet?” Courtney asked.

 

"HELL NO GIRL! That nigga likes me right, but he be in too many bitches face, and all the hell he does is lie. I was going to give him some of this wet

(pussy), just to see what the dick like. But he run his fucking mouth too much and I don't want to have to fuck Kareem big white ass up. Girl that nigga act like he don't know what the fuck to do with his hands sometimes. Plus, that might come between me and Harlem. You know he thinks he's a bitch father sometimes,” she said.

 

"I feel you. Oh yeah girl, check this out. My boss at my job is stupid crazy about me and the nigga is green as shit. He be leaving the safe all open

around me like the fuck I won't take something outta that bitch”, she said laughing.

 

“WHY DIDN'T

YOU?” Keisha asked.

 

“Because I ain't no petty bitch. But listen! We can take his ass off for at least ten thousand dollars. I can set the shit up and all you'll have to do is walk in and walk right back out with the money”, she said.

 

"SHIT! Ten thousand dollars, bitch what is you waiting for? Set that shit up” she said. "WAIT! Bitch how the hell am I supposed to walk in and walk right out with ten thousand dollars and not be noticed”, Keisha asked.

 

"EASY! This motherfucka be so hard up for some of this black wet. You should see this cracker face when I be playing with his dick. I can imagine how he'll be if I am sucking his little pink ass dick”, she said laughing. “BITCH YOU IS A MESS”, Keisha yelled laughing.

 

“Yeah! I might be, but I'll be a mess for that ten thousand dollars. Look, let me give you the details, and then once we leave here, we'll swing past there so you'll know where everything at and then we set up for the best day to do the shit”, she plotted. After thinking for several minutes, she spoke again, “Which is on Thursdays because that’s the day that all the money be in that motherfucka right before he has to deposit it in bank. The bank is right down the street and he walks to it himself personally. Shit we might even get more than ten thousand”, she thought, mentally calculating.

 

“Damn that’s a lot of fucking money,” Keisha said.

 

“That’s what his nasty white ass gets, chocolate ain’t cheap,” she said as they both laughed.
