Tiffany

The sun had shifted a bit outside and it made the sun shine right in on all of Tiffany's beauty. She tossed a little in bed before she sat up in a panic. "Fuck!" She looked at the clock on the nightstand beside her and the note that Sebastian had left. She quickly read it and threw her clothes on. She didn't have time to feel giddy about his love notes at the moment. She didn't bring her phone and she just knew Ny was in panic mode and she had the baby. She remembered there was a phone hanging on a wall in the kitchen. She prayed it was on so she could call for a taxi. Her prayers were answered. When she picked up the phone she heard a dial tone. She called for the taxi and they gave her an ETA of 10 minutes. Sebastian had left money on the nightstand more than enough for food and a taxi. Honestly it was enough to pay rent somewhere. She was pacing the floor thinking to herself. "That's why I like driving myself." The house was really close to where her old place was but not close enough to walk and she was upset.  She was worried that Ny would do something crazy. She knew her home girl was a little cray cray. HONK! HONK! She heard the cab out front. She threw the cabbie a twenty even though the ride was only six bucks. She rushed up to her place and she was shocked when she opened the door to see Ny Dylan and the baby at the table eating lunch. "Bitch! Where you been and why you leave your phone here? You know I be worried." Nyoke said angry but happy at the same time. "I left it here last night cause I didn't want DeLow interrupting my night. I mean I told him some bogus story but you know he'll still call. My bad boo. I didn't even realize it was this late. I was still sleep." Tiffany had replied. "Girl next time just block his number. Anything could have been going on and you know I am quick to call 911 when someone missing." "Don't I know it. Yo ass called the damn police while I was out clearing my head after an argument we had together. Like dude you know where I went. Crazy ass!" "I can't help it bitch! It's not my fault." Ny said with an attitude. "I know and I love how you care boo boop-e doo." Tiffany said in her Betty Boop voice. They both laughed. Tiffany spoke to Dylan and loved on her baby for a minute. Then she thought about it. She saw suitcases and shit when she walked in. "What the hell is going on? Suitcases? You got something to tell me? You get evicted from your own house?" Tiffany was laughing but they were not. "Wait who we need to fuck?" Tiffany said seriously. "Giiiiiirl. This nigga crazy ass ex wife went to our house and trashed the place. She was caught in the act and if you wasn't missing, it would be me the one in the county jail. She tried to kill us for real. That bitch going down!" Tiffany added. "Basement! Hell naw. That's wild. Well y'all for real for real can stay here for as long as y'all want. I know it's going to take a minute to get y'all shit back together. Me and the baby will no longer be staying here." "Wait what? Where the fuck you trying to take my baby?" Nyoke was confused. "Well I can show you better than I can tell you. Dylan can you keep the baby while I borrow your boo for a minute? I promise we won't be gone long."  Dylan agreed to watch baby Dionne. So they drive around the block to go see Tiffany's new house.

They drove about 8 minutes before pulling up to Tiffany's new residence. "Biiiiiitch. This you?" Nyoke said in amazement. Tiffany led her up the walkway and put her keys in the lock to open the doors. "Hold on. Bossman? He buying houses after two dates?" Nyoke said while grabbing for Tiffany's butt. "I'm about to hit that little shit to see what the hype about. Hell naw. This nice as fuck Tiff." Tiffany slapped Ny hands off her behind. "Shut up Ny. Ain't nobody checking for yo mean crazy ass but Dylan." She laughed and continued. "I don't know honestly. It feel so right with him. He brings out something in me that I didn't know existed." "I mean I was all for the dates and that but this is huge hunni. You sure you know what you're doing? What does this mean, he's bought you a house? What does he want in return? What about DeLow?" Nyoke was shooting off questions like an AR. "For real girl, I don't know but I know I want to stay here. The night we had last night was so amazing and you right. Me and him need to have a conversation of what this means but I'm happy. I wanna just live in that for a minute." Tiffany responded to Ny's many questions. "I get it and if you with it I'm with it but I'm here too if we need to kick some ass!" Ny said as she hugged her friend. "So we moving your stuff or naw?" Nyoke was already texting Dylan to call his homeboys so they can move Tiff's stuff. Wasn't really much but clothing and anything else that she just had to have because the house was already furnished. They went back to the apartment and grabbed the baby and Dylan and his folks met them over at the house. He was impressed. He told Tiffany that once they finished moving everything she wanted moved that he would cook dinner for everyone at the new place. They ate, talked shit and ended the night in laughter as Ny, Dylan and his homeboys left for the night.
