"I'm just ready for this nigga to act right cause I'm sick of fighting with bitches" Desirae, this girl who's hair I was doing, said as I combed out the curls I just finished in her natural hair. I shook my head

"It shouldn't be no reason why you fighting with bitches over your nigga anyways. Fuck him and his hoes. Have some respect for you girl"

"I just been with this boy for so long MJ.."

"And?" I asked her then continued to comb through the curls "this nigga showing you he obviously don't give a fuck about you or yo feelings by doing what he doing for so long"

She sighed and shrugged "he said he tryina change though"

"You just making excuses. Bitch ima be honest witchu, let that nigga go. You gone spend the rest of your life going through the same shit if you'on cut him off now. How old are you?"

"23"

"Let go now while you can. Trust me. You'll actually thank me later"

"You saying that like you and Meechie was a toxic relationship"

"No.. it wasn't toxic, it was just complicated. But now that I'm free and I can go back to being ME it feels good, you know?"

"You back to big pimpin MJ huh?"

I laughed along with her as the door to the shop opened. I looked up and had to do a double take when I saw it was Lucas. Luckily I was finished with desirae's hair so I took the cape off of her and she got up, grabbed her wallet and pulled out her money, paying me before going to the mirror to look

"A bitch bout to be looking fine as hell after I get this face beat" she told me while she flipped her hair behind her shoulders and I laughed. Desirae then grabbed her stuff and started to head to the door

"I'll be back next week for some braids"

"Alright. Remember what I told you too"

"I'll pray on it" she smiled and I shook my head seeing her walk out of the shop. Lucas looked back at the door before coming over to me and I reached in one of the drawers, grabbing his chain that he lost at my house the other night.

"My momma found it when she came to the house yesterday and I had to lie and say it was my ex's"

Lucas laughed while grabbing it from me and looked down at it

"Thank you"

"No problem" I responded and then there was an awkward silence as I looked at him, tryina figure out what to say next

I can't even lie, I know it was completely wrong of me to sleep with Lucas knowing him and his brothers had beef with Benji, shy and Meechie but I was drunk and vulnerable. What else was there for me to do that night? Besides, I'm grown as hell and pay my own bills now so I have a right to do whatever I want with whoever I want. And Lucas got some good dick

"Look, what we did the other night was wrong-"

"How? You single ain it?"

"Yeah"

"So how you doing single shit is wrong? My beef witcho ex ain got shit to do witchu"

"I know but ion want it to seem like I slept witchu out of spite or vice versa"

"Well it wasn't. We both just wanted to fuck and we did. It is what it is and can't nobody get mad about that"

"I just don't have time for the drama Lucas. Me and Kay already feel out about some shit that ain got nothing to do with me"
