“You ain’t drive your car?”
His interrogation creased her forehead. “Yes, I drove my car. My new one.”
“Bitch, what new car?!” Savvy shouted, being messy.
Kennedy slapped her arm before laughing as she focused on her call. The line was so silent that she removed it from her ear to check the screen and see if Lomar had hung up on her.
“Hello?”
“Yea, I’m here. It sounds like y’all turning the hell up. Why you ain’t invite me?”
“Because I’m with the girls! I don’t need you popping up with your thirsty ass niggas, ruining the vibes.”
“Yes, we do! I can use a few more on the team!” Nubia leaned on the counter to shout toward the phone. Kennedy shook her head while Savvy shot her a pointed look.
“She wants Los to kill her ass. I’m convinced.”
“Or that pussy,” Michi chimed in with a smirk. “That’s why she keeps rotating niggas. The dick she’s getting is wack.”
“As fuck! I can’t believe it’s so much mediocre dick out here, and these hoes go crazy over it. I am disgusted and good dick deprived.”
Nubia threw her hands in the air before slowly slithering out of her stool and onto the floor as the girls cracked up. Kennedy bucked her eyes when Lomar chuckled, reminding her that he was on the phone.
“So, this is the shit y’all be talking about at girls’ night?”
“Yep, and it’s another reason why you can’t come. Call you when I leave. Bye!”
She ended the call and tossed her phone into her purse. When she lifted her eyes, Sojourney was staring at her with a soft smile.
“So, you have a boyfriend? Tekken might be happy about that because he was stressed, thinking you might mess with Relic since Pierre keeps teasing him about it. Aura said she thinks so, too.”
Kennedy almost asked why her name was in that bitch’s mouth, but she caught herself because beefing with a woman over a nigga was a big no-no. Especially one who didn’t belong to her.
“Next time my name comes up, tell them all to mind their business. My nephew included. That’s probably why he got me that damn ring camera, to be nosey. I don’t have a boyfriend. Lom—”
“Bitches, I’m here!”
Lexi’s dramatic entrance interrupting their conversation made Kennedy roll her eyes with a smile, spinning in her seat as her girl pranced over in a jumpsuit similar to hers except one of Lexi’s thighs was exposed with gold chains linked from one side of her leg to the other. Her entire crew had style, but she always felt Lexi’s was closest to hers.
“You look sexy, boo!” Nubia smacked Lexi’s bare thigh as she hopped onto a stool and fluffed her full half up, half down hairdo.
“Thank you, Nu, and hey y’all!” she sang, smiling down the bar. She peeped that Savvy took a bite of her chicken instead of replying, but she didn’t trip. Her eyes went to Kennedy, inspecting the wavy genie ponytail with a thick bang in her girl’s hair that swept down to the barstool. “Kenn, your hair is fire. Did your wash girl do that, too?”
“Nope, this was me. I’ll give you one once I take mine out.”
“So, in two to three business days? Cool.” Lexi clapped her hands before asking, “So, what round of drinks are we on? I need to play catch up.”
“Most of us were late, so we’re about to do our second now. Savvy is getting this one.”
“Oh. I’ll pay for my own.”
“Really, Lexi?” Savvy opened her mouth for the first time since Lexi sat because she had wanted to check their temperature before speaking. She leaned on the bar to see her face. “So, this is what we’re doing?”
“I’m just saying. I don’t want you to think that I’m waiting for handouts is all.”
“Heard. We can leave it where it’s at because I’m not forcing a friendship. Been there, done that.” She threw up both hands in mock surrender before summoning the bartender with a wave. When the girl meandered over, she requested, “Let me get two more tequila shots, and whatever they want besides the stubborn one on the end. She got herself.”
“Hoe, you really gon’ just give upandmake me pay for my shit when you paid for everyone else?!” Lexi gawked, appalled.
