"This room smells of virginity." "Ivy?" I exclaim.


"It's true. I bet you've never had sex in this room." Ivy says laughing.



"Ivy, you are crazy."





Since daddy is away, I thought it would be nice to have Ivy sleep over for one night.



"I've been inside this room like three times?"


"Yeah, three times. You always turn down my offer to sleep over."


"You've got your father to blame for that. I'm so terrified of the man. There is something about him that makes me... I don't know. We just don't Vibe and I'm only here because you told me he is away."


I understand Ivy. If I were in her shoes, I'd be terrified of Jacob Anderson too. I mean I'm his daughter and I'm a bit scared of him.


"Well I'm glad you are here. How is the boyfriend? Phil?"


"We broke up." Ivy says with a sad face. "What?"





Ivy starts to laugh. "Hey relax. I'm just kidding.


Why would I want to break up with someone that


makes me so happy? Phil is amazing. I'm so in love


with him and I know that he feels the same way about


me."


"Good for you. As for me, I'm in love with a man I


can't figure out what his deal is." I say falling on the


bed.


"I told you it was going to happen. I told you you were going to fall in love with him."


"Yeah. Sucks to be me. I love Mark and I'm also very aware of the fact that loving him is going to be my doom."


"Come on Reva, it can't be that bad. Maybe you should talk to him."


Wow. Ivy is in love with a man and she's suddenly the love expert.





"Ivy, Mark has a problem or a secret. I want to


know what it is. You know, the other day he had a


hell of a fever and he was going on and on about


someone being killed or some people being killed by


someone. I don't know. Ivy, I wish he would let me in."


"Oh boy! I'm glad Phil is not that complicated." The door of my bedroom opens.


"What are you girls talking about?" Gina asks as she joins us on the bed.



"boys." Ivy says wryly.


"Since we are talking about boys, I should tell you


that we never have sex when I want to have sex. Jacob


and I."



What? I do not want to hear this. Gina shut up.



"Oh my!" Ivy exclaims.


"He is always busy and comes home most times very tired."






"Why don't you try seducing him?" Ivy asks.


"Trust me Ivy, I've tried. We only have sex when he wants to have sex."



Could these ladies shut up? Now?
