My Crazy Ex

Tip Line

RIHANNA POV
It had been at least two weeks since Karrueche had tried to kill me. It was strange not seeing her for that long. But after my Facebook message to her, she dropped off the map.

"Come on Bonkers." I said, scooping the puppy up into my arms. I had taken her to the dog park this morning. Mel had insisted I try to bond with her.

Somehow I hadn't really been able to connect with Bonkers. Probably because she was just a constant reminder of Karrueche. But Mel liked her so I'd have to suck it up.

"What kind of name is Bonkers?"

"Katy!" I dropped Bonkers on her feet and turned to embrace my friend.

Katy was from California, but time to time she would make the trip to LA for various fashion shows. That's where we had met only two years before.

"Hey Rih." She smiled. Katy always liked calling me by my middle name-Rihanna. Katy redirected her attention to the dog. "Bonkers?"

"Girl, it's a long story."

"Gift from Chris?"

"No, from his ex." I laughed. "That's an even longer story."

I would tell Katy all about Karrueche later but for now I didn't want to talk about her or even think about her. I'd spent enough time on that girl.

"Speaking of Chris, where is he?"

"Chris is over on your side. He'll be there for another few days."

Chris was showing off his art skills at his very own exhibit in LA. He had been there for the last week and a half. While I was proud of him and happy for him, I really wish he had stayed with me in NYC. If he wasn't around there's no telling what Kae would do.

"No kidding?" Katy said. "I wish you would've told me when I was in LA."

"I meant to, it's just been real busy around here."

"Tell me what's wrong."

"It all has to do with..." I looked around our feet for Bonkers, but she wasn't there. "Bonkers! Bonkers, where are you?"

Katy followed suit and began looking around as well.

"If I lose her Mel is going to be pissed!"

KARRUECHE POV
"Saint, slow down." I scolded, tugging at the leash of one of the dogs. I absolutely hated going for walks, but these old hounds needed their exercise. "Saint, stop!"

Up until last week I had five dogs to walk- Beatrice, Egg, Humphrey, Osha, and Jewel. They were well into their golden years and most of them were at least 16. Osha was the baby of the group at only 14 years old. However, gearing up for Egg's big send off, the oldest at an abnormal 18, his family had adopted the overgrown German Shepard-Husky mix, Saint. Saint was nothing but energy and the new baby at 4 years old.

Saint made everything harder for the older dogs- walking, nap time, and even lunch. But I loved him just the same.

"Saint please slow down." I begged but it was useless. I halted to a stop and separated Saint from the others who laid down in a tired heap. "You and me are going o have some problems."

Saint tilted his head at me then quickly looked towards an oncoming dog.

"Don't you even think about it."

Saint ripped his leash out of my hands and made a bee line for the much smaller dog.

"Saint no!" I yelled in vain.

The smaller dog ducked around Saint and skidded to a stop in front of me. As I bent down to check the dog's collar, I saw Saint in my peripherals. I attempted to put up my hands to stop him? But it was too late. Saint hit me at full speed, taking me and the little dog down.

I rolled over in the grass, pulling a few twigs out of my hair as Saint raced back over to the other dogs.

"You alright little buddy?" I smiled down at the small dog. "Where's your mommy?"

"Are you crazy?" A woman stepped up in front of me. "Don't answer that, I already know."

"I-" she looked familiar, but I'm sure I would have remembered her accent if I met her.

"From breaking and entering to theft? Wow Karrueche."

"D-do I know you?"

"Rih, is everything ok?" A second woman asked. "Oh my God, are you ok?"

The first woman, Rih, smacked her friend's hand away as she extended it to help me up.

"Karrueche Tran, keep your crazy ass away from me, my dog, my house, and my man." Rih spat, ripping the dog from my arms.

RIHANNA POV
"I... How do you know me?" Kae said, looking shocked.

"Do you think Chris wouldn't tell me about you?"

The look on her face changed to fear at the mention of Chris. It caught me a little off guard, but I was glad she was afraid of him. But if she had any brains at all she would be afraid of me too.

"I-I'm sorry. Please don't tell him you saw me." Karrueche stood up and rushed past me.

I didn't give her a second look. I didn't need to.

"What was that about?" Katy asked.

"Damn Kae, are you OK?" A woman said behind me.

"Mommy!"

I paid no more attention to Karrueche and her party of crazy. Something, more notably someone, had put the fear of God in that woman and that's exactly what she needed.

"That was Chris' crazy ex."
