Riah shrugged. “Nope. If anything, he’ll thank me later. He can literally take out all his aggression out on his opponent.”
“True,” Jhyrah concurred.
“I honestly doubt that Little Sincere is cheating with that melanin deficient hoe, or anybody else,” Keyasia admitted. “Cause aint too many men cut like him. He’s crazy over Riah, and we never hear nothing about no funny shit.”
“That is also true,” Jhyrah agreed.
“But we should still jump Eve’s lowdown ass,” Key proposed, seriously. “Cause I can see it in her eyes. She’d fuck him, if she could.”
“But don’t that cock strong hoe be in the gym, working on her biceps?” Taraj finally spoke up.
“Yeah, she’s definitely cock strong,” I co-signed.
“And that’s why I said that we’ll jump her,” Keyasia reiterated.
Riah smirked. “Ronny would lose his shit, and Sin needs him.”
“So, what does that mean?” I enquired. “Is she off limits or nah?”
“For you, she is,” Jhyrah chided, while placing a palm on my stomach.
Sucking my teeth, I slapped her hand away.
Riah looked me up and down. “You aint on birth control. So, are you?”
Key tilted her head sideways. “It looks like it.”
My nostrils flared. “Are you bitches calling me fat?”
“No,” Jhyrah spoke up. “We’re pointing out the physical differences. You be acting like you can’t breathe without that nigga, now your stomach aint flat. It aint hard to tell.”
I hooded my eyes. “Girl, I know you aint talking. Ms. I live in Jeremy’s skin.”
“And she stays pregnant too,” Key messily added.
Jhyrah placed her hands on her hips. “And you don’t?”
Taraj giggled. “Yeah, y’all whole bloodline is fertile as fuck. Make a bitch wanna go tie her tubes, just from hanging ‘round y’all.”
Josairah just scratched the back of her neck, knowing that she couldn’t even joke about it. She’d birthed my parents’ first grandchild, and had made four more since then.
“Well, I’m not surprised,” Riah claimed. “Jaylah was lowkey waiting on that boy.”
I frowned. “Wait, what?”
“You was. That’s really why you decided to keep Khari. I know that Zae’s situation didn’t help, but if youreallywanted to get rid of that baby, then nothing would’ve stopped you. You was sweet on that nigga and liked the idea of having his baby.”
Jhyrah nodded. “I believe that too. Plus…a little birdie told me that you was close to filing child support papers, just so that he’d know about her, without you having to call him. But be swearing up and down that you was gonna let him live his life, without ever knowing Khari.”
Riah tittered. “Nah, here’s the real tea. Mama already had it planned. She said that she was gonna contact him herself. She just kept holding off on it, because she knew that you’d be in your feelings.”
I narrowed my gaze. “So, you bitches been sitting around gossiping, huh?”
They all giggled before speaking in unison. “Of course.”
“Jahreiah,” Paula, Riah’s personal assistant, said, as she approached us. “Sincere is ready to pray, and he needs you at his side.”
Riah rolled her eyes. “Fuck him.”
