Chapter Fifteen - Me or Her

"No effing way!" Kiara is fuming, walking back and forth. John B just brought Sarah to join the group on the porch and Kiara is not taking it well. JJ's on the chair, Devon sitting on his lap as they watch the scene unfold. "You brought her here? So what? She's in on this now?"

John B looks to the side for help to which Pope shrugs his shoulders, "I dunno."

"Look, all I care about is her cut comes out of your share." JJ says.

"You know, I don't remember taking a vote." Kie says.

"I vote yes!" Devon raises her hand.

Kie ignores her, "This is our thing, a pogue thing."

"I gotta say, I'm just a tad uncomfortable with all of this." Pope admits.

"When are you not uncomfortable?" John B snaps.

"I don't know, I rode here on the back of JJ's bike pretty comfortably." Pope argues.

"It's true. Most relaxed I've ever seen him" JJ confirms.

"That's cute, guys." John B looks away.

"You know, we were all extremely comfortable until you brought her." Kie says.

"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Sarah finally pipes up.

"Then leave."

Sarah scoffs and turns to John B, "I told you."

"Told him what, exactly?" Kie gets more angry, "That you're a liar?"

"No, that you're a shit talking bitch." Sarah corrects.

Devon's jaw drops as she leans back into JJ, "oh, shit."

JJ and Pope start making bets on the fight. "My money's on Kie." Pope whispers.

Devon smacks the money away, "Sarah's a lot stronger than you think."

"Everybody shut up!" John B yells. "Kie, you're my best friend. And Sarah, you're my.."

"Say it." Sarah smiles.

"You're my girlfriend."

"That's new." Pope remarks.

"She's your girlfriend now?" Kie breathes out. "What was all that talk about just using her for information. Get a map. Cut her loose."

Sarah looks at John B, "you said you were using me?"

"No." John B shakes his head.

Sarah looks to Devon for the truth. "He did say those things." She admits.

"Look, love just walked in!" John B snaps. Devon cringes at his words. "I didn't expect it. It just kind of happened." He looks to Sarah, "And I'm not gonna deny it. Right?" Sarah looks away from him, pissed.

"Look, cut the bullshit, John B. If she's in, I'm out." Kie gives an ultimatum.

"Kie, I'm not doing it. I can't!"

"You are going to decide." Kie raises her voice, "I'm very interested actually. Me or her?"

"Both." John B says. Kie walks out without saying anything else, the door slamming behind her.

"It'll be cool, right?" Sarah quotes John B. She starts getting up, "I'm gonna leave."

"Sarah, don't." John B whispers.

"Gonna let y'all chat." She continues walking. "Let me know."

Once Sarah is gone, JJ adds his comment, "I'd just like to say, you handled that beautifully."

Devon gets up from JJ's lap with a loud sign "I'm gonna go check on Sarah. I'll see you guys later."
