Layla and I are on our way to the spa day to get pampered. She could definitely use it to clear her mind. I know she is still worried about Roman showing up. I already know he is not going to show. Any time Keisha's trifling ass is involved, Layla comes second. What's going to make it hard to face her, when the time comes is that I promised her that if she agreed to a shower, things would go according to plans. She tries to put on a brave front but she is terrified to go through the same humiliation that she went through on her wedding night. That's a story for another time, trust me. My brother is an ungrateful bitch.
"Everything is going to be fine, Lay. He's going to be there. He can't miss this. Remember he loves you."
I hear Layla mumble this out loud. I'm sure she wasn't aware that she did. She always gets inside her head and starts to overthink things. These are her chants and affirmations that she recites to herself when she is nervous or overwhelmed.
"As much as I hate to admit it, he does love you, Layla. He would not miss today unless something drastic happens. My mom said they did go to the hospital yesterday and she was put on bedrest, that's probably why he didn't come home. You know she is going to milk this dry. He's not calling because she has to keep her pressure down, you know you make her blood boil."
"Tiffany, do you listen to half of the words coming out of your mouth? Why would I make her blood boil she fucked my husband not the other way around. And he couldn't just send a text saying that? How can she keep him from communicating with his WIFE? That just pissed me off."
Layla is usually always understanding and passive. This is new and I kind of like it. But not directed towards me.
"Okay, calm your short ass down Pocahontas! You know she likes to throw tantrums. I wouldn't be surprised she demanded he turn his phone off. And you know he has been trying to spend as much time with the kids as possible so they don't feel left out like Keith did with Nya."
She looks out the window trying to get her emotions under control. I see a tear fall on her left cheek, but she wipes it away quickly. She loves the kids like her own and hates when they are upset. She is a better stepmom sometimes than their mom is at being their mom.
"Yeah, you are right. It broke my heart when he told us he was replaced by Nya. My little friends don't deserve to feel that way. I'm just in my feelings. Damn send a quick 'sorry sweetheart I need to be here because they put her on bedrest, I'll talk to you soon.' It's not that serious for him to just go mute."
"Girl please, Keisha didn't just fuck your husband, he fucked her back. In that house her pussy is law. She gets what she wants."
"Are you trying to reassure me or are you trying to get me to poison his food? Either way it's not the right thing to say right now. Do you want one of these waters?"
She asked me that shit like she didn't just say she was going to poison my brother. The fuck I look like? She might want to knock off his whole family. Pregnant women are scary. I'm going to stop telling her how to kill people indiscreetly.
"Hell no! Don't offer me shit ever again. Don't feed my brother again either. I'm going to stop telling you shit, I didn't realize you were listening to me."
"Shut the hell up Tiffany! You know damn well I wouldn't poison him. And I didn't even put this water here. By the way how the hell did you get this limo that quick and fully stocked?"
"I had extra money in my budget to offer an extra $1000 to make it here on time and extra special for the entire day. Wait until you see what happens on your way home! I don't care what dumbass says either, I'm riding back with you. This is our experience. He can ride with Aiden. "
"You're going to wish he was riding with Aiden too, when he checks his account. How much longer until we reach the venue? I'm thirsty but your nephew is already on my bladder. I don't want to pee on myself. Tiff, are you sure you don't want any water?"
Shower Venue , 2:00 pm
"Have you reached him yet? It's already two o'clock. The next hour for our spa day was reserved for the two of you to have some alone time before the shower. That way you both can be super relaxed so you can enjoy your celebration."
She's been calling every hour since this morning. It's annoying really because all she wants to know is that he is okay and he keeps ignoring her calls. I have also been trying to contact him. He's ignoring me also. The fucker knows I'm going to rip into his ass.
"No, I've been calling but he never answers. Do you think something happened?"
"Layla nothing has happened other than that bitch trying to ruin your shower. That's not going to happen though because I put in too much work to make this happen. I even had to endure being around stupid sexy face. This shower is happening and you are going to enjoy it. We will set an appointment to beat her ass after you both drop these loads."
"Tiff, don't call her a bitch please. You know I don't like talking bad about people and I am trying my best to keep things cordial between us. I don't want her to stop me from seeing the kids."
Keisha is always disrespectful to Layla behind my brother's back. And little miss "rainbows and unicorns" never says anything back. She just walks away or ignores the fuck out of her. It's the funniest shit ever. The more calm Layla is, the redder Keisha is. Seriously, Layla makes her blood boil.
"Ugh! You know I wish you would just get angry at least one time and just let her ass have it. She knows what she's doing and that dumbass brother of mine allows her to do it."
"Tiff! Now you're bashing my husband. I can't allow that either. He made a mistake. I'm not going to keep holding it over his head. How can I say I forgive him but constantly throw it in his face?"
"That dirty dick SOB doesn't deserve forgiveness! My baby daddy ruined you, do you know that? That is the only thing that I dislike about him."
Kino raised a simp. She should have taken my genes.
"Didn't I tell you to lay off my dad? He's off limits."
"Didn't I tell you once I finish grad school, you'll be calling me step Mommy?"
We both just burst out laughing. It's nice to hear her laugh. She hasn't done that much in the last six months really.
"Well how about this? I'm going to go down and check on everything. I need to make sure I'm getting my money's worth. Then I am going to come back up here and if he is not here for his time then I'll be your relaxing partner. I don't know what he had planned but I'm sure it was something amazing. Besides, I would be a better companion for stuff like this.
While I'm gone you can continue to try to contact him or you can prop your feet up. It looks like they are swelling and you don't want elephant ankles, do you?"
"Get out, Tiff! You can't insult me like that while I'm pregnant. I'm too damn emotional. Make sure you bring some of those lemon cookies back and some pineapple. I haven't had my noon snack and my baby's blood sugar is low. Come back empty handed and we will have problems."
