On Friday night, I headed over to Dezman's. All the boys are there. They're watching football on TV, and they're being really loud and ruthless towards each other. I don't see any signs of Shonda. I ask Dezman where she is, and he tells me that she went to pick up food with Katrina and Kassandra. As I'm sitting there on the couch with all the guys, they begin to crack me up.

*Teek*

Squirt, I swear, bruh, if you stop yo' ass in front of me one more time, I'ma fucking lose it. Every time we tryna watch TV, you do the same shit repeatedly, standing in front of mother fuckers. You're not at home. How are we supposed to see the TV with you in the middle of the damn screen? Sit yo' ass down.

*Squirt*

Or what? Y'all got this big ass TV, man, and you still can't see?

*Teek*

Or what??

*Ciana*

Teek stands up, and I'm thinking, "Oh boy." What's going to happen? They are now face-to-face, or should I say more neck-to-face, as Squirt was about five feet, eleven inches. I could tell they were just being playful when Teek grabbed Squirt and put him in a headlock. The other guys started laughing and egging it on, telling Teek to slam him down to the ground. Squirt took the hint before Teek could do it, and he tried to lift Teek off the ground first, but he failed.

*Teek*

Oh, you trying me?!

*Ciana*

I could tell he tightened the grip around Squirt's neck after Squirt had tried to lift him.

*Teek*

Talk that shit now!

*Ciana*

It didn't take long after that before Squirt tapped out.

*Squirt*

'Ight, 'ight, you got me this time. Get yo' big ass off me, bruh, before I have to beat yo' ass for real.

*Ciana*

At this point, Shonda comes walking in, and right away she isn't having it.

*Shonda*

Hell nah! No! I know y'all are not up in here doing all that. I can't leave y'all for even fifteen minutes. Y'all know that I don't play that rough shit up in here. Y'all broke the last table we had doing that shit. Y'all make me sick, and Teek, what happened to your ankle?? I thought it was hurting.

*Ciana*

He points to Squirt before he answers her.

*Teek*

We can take it outside after the game; don't get it twisted.

*Ciana*

Instead of Squirt responding to Teek, he instead responds to Shonda.

*Squirt*

Shut up, Shonda.

*Shonda*

Squirt, don't play with me. You know I will drop-kick yo' ass right out of that window.

*Ciana*

They all laugh. Teek hits Squirt upside the head.

*Teek*

Don't talk to my chick like that, bro. What's wrong with you?? 'Ey, and my shit do hurt, bae, on the real.

*Ciana*

Teek limps over to the couch to sit back down, and just like that, they both go back to watching the game like nothing happened. I speak to Shonda and the sisters as they pass by. A short while later, she brings all the food over to the table, and she gives everybody a plate. We all sit, eat our pizza, and watch the game together. At some point, Dezman yells out, "Yo, what the fuck was that?" In reference to something that he didn't like that happened in the game,
