Diamonds in the Rough: VOL. I

"Where that roach you call yourself in love with?" Whitney burst through Zaria's door without knocking. "Come on out little roach. I wore my lemon pepper steppers just for you." She shouted as she walked around checking Zaria's house. She didn't bother to get up from the couch. Laron wasn't at her place.

He was a lawyer so he couldn't just up and leave for days or weeks, even months at a time to another city and state. Zaria knew she needed the time apart from him. To be sure that getting married was something she was ready for. Her feelings for Murphy had always been confusing for her.

Her sisters didn't make it no better since they all adored him in one way or another. Riley stepped into the living room dropping her bags. "Got damn why your ass always gotta live up some damn steps," Riley scoffed as she moved over to the couch. Her chubby frame plopped down beside Zaria.

Zaria looked over to her older sister holding the glass of wine in her hand tightly. "What's wrong with you?" Riley's eyelids lowered.

"I'm confused."

"About Laroach? Don't be. Leave that nigga alone. Got dad's wife thinking she somebody damn mom." Whitney fussed as she stepped into the room. Zaria looked over her sister and laughed at the outfit she was wearing. "Girl don't do me. I rushed up out the crib to body this nigga."

"She so embarrassing." Riley shook her head. "Girl we ain't built like these skinny bitches. You knew better, do better next time please for both of our sakes."

"Bitch I don't care nothing bout being a skinny bitch. All this ass shakes like jello, and I ain't never had a problem bringing a nigga home." Whitney waved her twin off. She sat down on the other couch. "Why she drinking wine so early."

"Murphy." Riley spoke as she popped a piece of spearmint gum into her mouth. Zaria looked between the twins. They were identical except for a small mole that sat below Riley's lips. They were almost the same size. Whitney was more of the loud and rowdy sister. She also didn't give a fuck what no one thought of her.

Riley was the laid back sister. She didn't like to draw too much attention to herself. Due to her weight and issues with confidence. Zaria didn't understand that because all of her sisters were beautiful, and she wasn't just saying that because they were her sisters. Whitney and Riley favored Lauren London in her opinion.

"Not you in here four days home and ready to go back to your baby daddy." Whitney laughed. "Girl get a grip."

"It's not that I want him back." The twins made the same face as they rolled their eyes. "We never got any closure."

"Then using the fuck boy lingo to cover it up." Riley laughed. "Girl you don't need no closure. Yall still apart of each other's life. You thought we was pushing you to talk to the nigga to be with him."

"Whole time we knew you was about to get married for all the wrong reasons."

"I'm still getting married." Zaria mumbled taking the wine glass to her lips. "Whether you guys like him or not, I love Laron."

"We know that." The twins laughed.

"But you can't marry another nigga when you still in love with the one who did you dirty? Don't get back in this city and go running down memory lane. The shit wasn't pretty. You almost died for Murphy." Whitney shook her head trying to warn her sister.

"He's not like that anymore."

"Wow four days done told her this nigga's whole life story." Riley laughed. "Girl goodbye. That nigga probably exactly the same. He always knew how to get your ass."

"He's not worried about me. I texted him this morning and he didn't even bother to respond. He has a woman."

"As he fucking should." Riley clapped. "Then that keeps his ass out your fucking face. You are here for my niece. Only my niece bitch. Girl you getting beside yourself! This is the same nigga that gave you."
